New Year’s Prayer for All.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for all you had done in the last year in each of our lives. At times we could not see you at work in our midst, yet we know in faith that you are always at work in our lives. So we give you thanks today.

Lord reveal to our minds and our hearts the blessings that you bestowed upon us last year. May we be still and wait upon you as you reveal to us those things you protected us from, those gifts you have put in our lives, and the powerful lessons you taught us through the relationships you have placed each of our lives. May we stop to pause and reflect.

Lord may we give you all the glory in our lives. May we realize that what takes place in our lives is coordinated by you. Good or bad, each thing we encounter passes through your will for approval. May we realize this. Bad or Good whatever comes into our lives is meant to strengthen our relationship with you. May we stop to give you the glory in our good times..and in our times tribulations.

As we let go of last year…may we open the door as you knock on our hearts and minds. May we be wide open to you..may we see your hand and presence in all that we experience in the coming year.

We surrender the future to you. We let go of what we hold tightly to. And allow you to reign richly in our lives, today, tomorrow and through out the coming year.

Teach us to Love the way you Love. May we be your hands and feet to those you put in our path today, tomorrow and through out the year.

May you always be #1 in our lives, today, tomorrow and through out the coming year.

In Jesus name,

Love,

boat on the waterToday, I want you to be alert and attentive to the promptings of the Spirit and be able to discern the promptings of the Flesh.

Just focus on being filled with the Holy Spirit, being consumed with God and God’s will. Saturate yourself in the Lord’s grace, mercy and love. Fill your mind, heart, and soul with God. Allow Christ to have full reign in you. Allow Christ to be an all consuming fire burning in you.

In addition, use discernment on how the enemy, Satan, attempts to lure you away from the Truth, and to try and pull you into walking in the flesh. Just be alert..see how thoughts, feelings, words, and actions come forward that you know are not from God, but from the sinful nature.

confused___by_mushy_peaRemember that greater is he that is in you than is in the world. Confront sin head on. Don’t let the devil have any room in your earthly body. Give you body, mind, soul to the Lord and be filled with the Spirit and you will not gratify the things of the flesh.

In addition, do not condemn another person who is walking in the flesh, instead pray for them and confront them in love.

Never judge others, allow Christ to do that, you instead allow Christ to reveal to you when you are walking in the Spirit or when you are gratifying the Flesh.

Renew your mind daily, via Romans 12:1  and always, daily put on the full Armor of God, Ephesians 6.

Love,

T

red-roses-photoThere is many things Love is, but Love should not hurt.

God’s love is kind, gentle, patient, and thinks of the greater good of others.

God’s love is forgiving, respectful, merciful.

God’s love is sacrificial, self-less, full of abundance.

God’s love is unlimited, the tank is always full.

assorted-rosesGod’s love does not think of a wrong suffered, and rejoices in the truth.

God’s love conquerors all evil.

God’s love is for every one.

It should never hurt to love someone, nor should someone hurt you in the name of love.

If someone is hurting you: your feelings, attacking you as a person, defrauding you, judging you all in the name of love. It is not Love.

bulk_roses1Love should not hurt. If someone is hurting your feelings communicate with them as such. Simply in Love let them know what what they are doing and saying is hurtful. Give them room to process what you say, and see if they say I am sorry and don’t do it again. Pray about what you have shared with them. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to their heart with what you shared. Love just should not hurt and the person may not realize what they are doing.

If they can’t see the wrong done..and have no desire to change their ways, behavior and how they interact with you..then you need to seek the Lord if this person is a healthy person to have in your life. Just reflect..does this person spur you on to Love and be closer in your walk with the Lord? Or does this person pull you down..and pulls you a way from your relationship with Christ.

flower-expert-red-and-pink-rosesLove should not hurt…and the people in your life should build you up, not break you down. There is a time in place for correcting a person..but when it is not based in Love..it is not Love..and not from God.

Never settle for being hurt from someone and think this is okay in God’s eyes. Confront the person, give them a chance to change..and if they don’t want to change..walk away from the relationship. You should not have to deal with hurt..when God’s love is not the centerpiece of your interactions.

God is love, and Love should not hurt.

Today..be still..and say a pray..ask the Lord to reveal to you any unconfessed sins that you need to ask forgiveness of and repent of them.

Today..be still..pray..ask the Lord to open your mind, heart, eyes, and hears to any sins in your life. Ask God to be real with you.

Today..be still…pray.ask the Lord to reveal to you what sins you have done maybe in your thoughts..really allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your mind of thoughts that are not appropriate.

Today..be still..pray..ask the Lord to reveal to you what sins you have committed in your heart..allow Jesus to speak to you about what is occupying your heart which is stopping you from truly loving God and others.

Today..be still..pray..ask the Lord to reveal to you what sins you have committed by what you look at..allow Jesus to open your eyes to what you are exposing yourself to that is not appropriate.

Today..be still..pray..ask the Lord to reveal to you what sins you have committed by what you hear..allow Jesus to open your ears to what you are listening to that is not of God.

Today..be still..pray..ask the Lord to reveal to you what sins you are committing by what you say..allow the Spirit to show you how your choice of words have been of a condemning spirit and not of God.

Today..be still..pray..ask the Lord to reveal to you what sins you have done through your behavior and actions..allow God to reveal how your actions were not pure and holy.

Today..be still..pray…ask the Lord to reveal to you how you have sinned in the relationships in your life.  Ask the Lord to reveal to you if there a people in your life you should not be associated with..in addition..ask the Lord to reveal if you have committed any sins towards a fellow brother that was not right..allow Jesus to reveal the sin in the good and bad relationships in your life..

Now..come before the Lord, lay down your sins based on the above review at the foot of the Cross, ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins, and repent of your ways. Lay it all out before the Lord..confess it all before him..ask him to clean you and purify you. Ask the Lord to fill you with his Holy Spirit so that you will not gratify the things of the flesh..and that you truly repent of your sinful nature.

Simply Repent of your ways, whether they are in thought, words, or actions..repent of your sins. Turn from sin which seperates you from God.

Use Today..to reflect, pray, see your sins, ask for forgiveness from the Lord, and truly repent of your ways..

Love,

sometimesSometimes we may not know what the Lord is doing in our lives, and he just asks us to trust in him.

Sometimes we may not experience God’s love and yet the Lord asks us to continue to walk in love.

Sometimes we may not feel like spending time in prayer and in God’s word, yet the Lord asks us to be obediant and continue to do so.

Sometimes we may not want to go to church, be in fellowship or be in a small bible study group, yet the Lord asks us to continue to do so.

Sometimes GodSometimes we can look at who we were, our sins, our shortcomings, and we don’t believe the Lord has forgiven us., yet has has forgiven us.

Sometimes we can make decisions based on our feelings, our own desires, and ambitions, opposed to seeking the Lord and finding out what his will is for our lives.

Sometimes we can misunderstand our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and make judgement calls on them, and the Lord asks us not to judge..and to just deal with our own shortcomings.

Sometimes we can feel alone even though we know the Lord is with us.

free hugsSometimes we can say and do things that are not Christ-like..and the Lord asks us to go to those we have hurt and ask forgiveness.

There is always going to be sometimes..times when we fall short, when we don’t feel like spending time with God, and all God asks us that in those sometimes..we don’t get caught up with what does not matter. And to focus on what matters.

So in those “sometimes’ focus more on God’s love for you..and make an extra effort to put God first in your life, and making him your first love and priority. Even when you don’t feel like it…do spend time with the Lord it might be the case that the Lord really has something to share with you.

12_13_4---Flowers-in-a-Garden-Border_webDon’t let “sometimes” get the best of you..I even have “sometimes” and use those “sometimes” as red flags that I really need to draw near to the Lord.

Use those “sometimes” as a red flag in your own life..to spend time cultivating your personal relationship with the Lord by being in God’s word, prayer, fellowship and being in the body of the church via a Sunday service & Bible study. 

Love,

T

grand-canyonFather God I come to you in prayer, simply to be in your presence, to be captivated by you and your awesome power, love and glory.

Lord, I come before you, simply to seek your face, your will, your plan, for my life and for the readers of this post. I come to you with a contrite heart, a humble servant, and one who is open to the Spirit’s promptings for the benefit of things to come.

I praise you God for who you are, what you have done, and what you are going to do in this earth and those who dwell here. I pray Lord God your will prevails in our lives over any desires we may have, and any selfish ambitions. Just overcome our weakness and fill us with your divine Grace and Mercy.

longsuffering1I pray for all that are reading this post, who follow what is written here, and in other forums. I don’t ask that  you take them out of this world to be with you, but to protect them from the evil one and his deceptive ways. I pray Lord Jesus with every temptation they all see and do go through the avenue of escape. May they not fall from Grace but be abounding in your Grace more and more as the times are coming to a close.

I pray for each person’s career, finances, relationships and health. Just protect them. Guard their hearts. Direct their hearts in your love. May they put their full trust in you and allow you to direct their path.

I pray for an Holy Spirit annointing to be upon me and those who read this post. Flood them with the Holy Spirit. Seal them with your Holy Spirit. Put a hedge of protection over their lives, hearts, souls and minds. May they have the “Seal of the Lord” on their foreheads so that the enemy will flee. Protect them. Protect me with your special holy spirit annointing and seal in our hearts and on our foreheads.

iceI pray that we all draw near to you Lord when we are being attacked for when we draw near to you Lord Jesus, the enemy flees. May we cast out all fear through the perfect love of God. May we all wear your full armor. Your loins of Truth. Your breastplate of righteousness. Your shield of Faith. Shoes of the Gospel of Peace. And may we carry your sword which is your word. May we stand firm in you. You are our overcomer. You are are victory over any attacks. SO I pray we all abide in you and your love.

May all abide in your commands, and may we continue to abound in loving others. May we realize you are love. and if we do not love we are not in you. So may we listen to your word, follow your commands..and love our neighbors more and more. For Love conquers all fear and evil…

love8May we LOVE with all our hearts, souls and minds, today and always. May we stand in faith in our LOVE for you Jesus. And may we express your LOVE in all we say and do. When people see us..may they see God and be blown away with your presence coming forth through us.

I praise you Jesus, We love you Jesus, and I am the rigtheousness of God in Christ.

May we all be IN Christ as the times are drawing of Christ’s return.

Praise you Lord,

Love,

4_seasons_by_vxsideWith all that is going on in the world, and alot of things are uncertain..you can wonder what is God’s plan, his will is for your life.

It is always healthy to go to the Lord in prayer to just ask God what he needs you to do based on the waves, trends and economic conditions we are all being faced with. God might need to update you on a few things..ask you to clear a few things…or he might need to show you the path he has for you that he needs you to follow.

A_Maker_of_History_-_Whatever the Lord reveals to you and asks you to do, just do it. If you need to have him to confirm his commands and instructions, ask him to do so through some specific scripture verses. Reflect on what was asked of you..just be still..and allow God’s peace to flood you. Whenever God shares a request or specific instruction that is a step of faith..you may be hesistate at first..but after a bit of reading God’s word and also just reflecting.. you will realize the truth being spoken.

So, really take time out today..and really draw near to God to find out what he wants you to do for your future well being. What you do today..can benefit you for the hard times to come. Think about Joseph and how he gave the vision to Pharaoh, of preparing for a famine..in times of his abundance..he stored and planned for what was going to come. So start preparing for the hard times ahead by doing what the Lord asks of you, today.

priorityIt is pretty important..so please seek the Lord and find out what his will is, his plans and what he needs you to do today for times to come. Invest in spending time with the Lord. It will be the greatest investment you can give to yourself and those you love because you are learning how to let God take care of you, by preparing you for times to come.

Love,

T.
