Monday Morning Prayer (Wk45/2021)

Almighty Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth; The First and the Last; The One that was, Who is, and is to come. I worship You giving all glory, honour, praise and thanks. I thank You for waking me up this morning and welcome Your presence into my day.

Today, I will give You continual praise and glory. I appreciate and give You thanks for all I have and all You have done.  Your Word says I will decree a thing and it shall be established, so I call into existence Your continual covering, protection and strength over all thoughts, words or deeds of myself, my family, my friends and those of all Your people, wherever they may be.

May no harm come over our dwelling or wherever we may go.

May all we touch, physically or spiritually, be in alignment with whatever You have planned for us.

In our coming and going, in our thinking and our speaking: I pray, let not our will, but Your will be done.

May this week be one that is enveloped in Your peace and direction. Equip me with all the tools needed for what is to take place; may I never be empty but filled to an overflow of Your Spirit, wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

I pray that my memory will be clear and concise. May I have a peace that surpasses all understanding: Because we know that without faith it is impossible to please You. Via You we are able to do and obtain all things. My Father and my God, I put full trust in You.

He said to me, ‘The Lord, before whom I walk [habitually and obediently], will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house;

Genesis:24-40 (AMP)

so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:17 (AMP)

By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed andcreated [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Hebrews 11:3 (AMP)

20 Now may the Elohim of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Yeshua, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament),

21 Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Yeshua HaMashiach (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).

Amen (So be it)

Hebrews 13:20-21 (AMPC)

Monday Morning Scripture (Wk45/2021) – Ephesians 1:1-12

A Living Hope, and a Sure Salvation

1 Peter, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Jesus Christ,

To those [elect—both Jewish and Gentile believers] who live as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia [Minor], and Bithynia, who are chosen

2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by the sanctifying work of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace [that special sense of spiritual well-being] be yours in increasing abundance [as you walk closely with God].

3 Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 [born anew] into an inheritance which is imperishable [beyond the reach of change] and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

5 who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.

6 In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

7 so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not even see Him now, you believe and trust in Him and you greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy,

9 receiving as the result [the outcome, the consummation] of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

10 Regarding this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace [of God] that was intended for you, searched carefully and inquired [about this future way of salvation],

11 seeking to find out what person or what time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He foretold the sufferings of Christ and the glories [destined] to follow.

12 It was revealed to them that their services [their prophecies regarding grace] were not [meant] for themselves and their time, but for you, in these things [the death, resurrection, and glorification of Jesus Christ] which have now been told to you by those who preached the gospel to you by the [power of the] Holy Spirit [who was] sent from heaven. Into these things even the angels long to look.

Ephesians 1:1-12 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – 09.11.21 – The Woman At The Well

You have been living like the woman at the well. The woman who goes out in the heat of the day to avoid being seen. The woman who has made mistakes and where her shame has covered and dressed her.

You live hoping no one is looking, and the shame of your sin has kept you hidden.

Today, I declare, ‘COME OUT!‘ Come forth, come to the well today as you are and find me sitting there waiting for you. I am waiting for you at the well, and I am here to tell you that I see all things and still choose you, love you, and welcome you. You do not need to come to me altogether and put in one piece. You can come to me as you are. Today, I am lifting this weight off of you and breaking the patterns that have confined you and kept you in patterns that have kept you stuck and hidden.

Today, I unveil you, removing shame and sin from you, and I wash you clean and call you free. Walk in the lightness of my forgiveness and freedom today.

Activation: Read all of John 4 and ask God to speak to you through it.

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

John 4:21-26 (NIV)

Sunday Morning Scripture (Wk44/2021) – 2 Corinthians 6:11-18

Their Ministry Commended

11 We are speaking freely to you, Corinthians [we are keeping nothing back], and our heart is opened wide.

12 There is no limit to our affection for you, but you are limited in your own affection [for us].

13 Now in the same way as a fair exchange [for our love toward you]—I am speaking as [I would] to children—open wide [your hearts] to us also.

14 Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial (Satan)? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said:

“I will dwell among them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

17 “So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord,

“And do not touch what is unclean;

And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor],

18 And I will be a Father to you,

And you will be My sons and daughters,”

Says the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:11:18 (AMP)

Saturday Evening Scripture (Wk44/2021) – Psalm 4

Evening Prayer of Trust in God.

To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and relieved me when I was in distress; be gracious to me and hear [and respond to] my prayer.

2 O sons of men, how long will my honor and glory be [turned into] shame? How long will you [my enemies] love worthless (vain, futile) things and seek deception and lies? Selah.

3 But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right]. The Lord hears and responds when I call to Him.

4 Tremble [with anger or fear], and do not sin; meditate in your heart upon your bed and be still [reflect on your sin and repent of your rebellion]. Selah.

5 Offer righteous sacrifices; trust [confidently] in the Lord.

6 Many are saying, “Oh, that we might see some good!” Lift up the light of Your face upon us, O Lord.

7 You have put joy in my heart, more than [others know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.

8 In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

Psalm 4:1-8 (AMP)
