Thursday Morning Prayer – (Wk35/2021) – Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer

Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more.
Feed me till I want no more.

Open thou the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream shall flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer
Be thou still my strength and shield.
Be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.
I will ever give to thee.

Thursday Morning Scripture (Wk35/2021) – Psalm 119:41-48

Vav

41 May Your lovingkindness also come to me, O Lord, Your salvation according to Your promise;

42 So I will have an answer for the one who taunts me, for I trust [completely] in Your word [and its reliability].

43 And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I wait for Your ordinances.

44 I will keep Your law continually, forever and ever [writing Your precepts on my heart].

45 And I will walk at liberty, for I seek and deeply long for Your precepts.

46 I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings and shall not be ashamed.

47 For I shall delight in Your commandments, which I love.

48 And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love; and I will meditate on Your statutes.

Psalm 119:41-48 (AMP)

Wednesday Morning Prayer (Wk35/2021)

Heavenly Father, as I open my eyes this morning, I thank You for what You’ve done, what You’re doing and what You intend to do. I give You all glory, honour and praise. As I approach Your Mercy Seat, I pray for a cleansing of all sins, whether they be of thought, word or deed; those to myself and to others.

Today, as I welcome this new month, I lift my eyes towards the hills, from where all my help comes from. I know it is You. As I come before You this morning, I take You at Your Word. Your Word says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Therefore, as I step out into this new month, may it be a new season where I begin to put total dependence on You. I pray and speak life into every area of my life. May any plan You have for me, that is laying dormant, be resurrected. I speak life and spiritual growth into my mind, body, soul and spirit; and ask that You have Your way. I speak death to the things that may have, and are causing, any hindrance to the plans and purposes of my life, that will break the connection I have with You. I call all things into existence that are meant for me. I pray that as I look to my left and right You will be there: Everything and everyone surrounding me, or in the vicinity of my life, will be enveloped in Your love, grace and power. May I recognise and understand the power that You have given me. As it was in the times of the many great men and women of the Bible, may it be right now. May all fallow ground be broken and ready to receive a fresh anointing. I pray anyone reading this prayer will receive a touch from You and the plans and purposes for their lives be revealed to them. May all scales be removed from our eyes, hearts and spirits. May we call into existence the time when we will do exploits. May Your voice be heard. May we answer the call. My Father and my God, we trust in You.

With smooth words [of flattery and praise] he will turn to godlessness those who [are willing to] disregard the [Mosaic] covenant, but the people who [are spiritually mature and] know their God will display strength and take action [to resist].

Daniel 11:32 (AMP)

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.

Prayer Promises

In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you.

John 16:23 (AMP)

16 Therefore, [inheriting] the promise depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be given as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] guaranteed to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [Jewish believers] who keep the Law, but also for those [Gentile believers] who share the faith of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all—

17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

18 In hope against hope Abraham believed that he would become a father of many nations, as he had been promised [by God]: “So [numberless] shall your descendants be.”

Romans 4:16-18 (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)

Tuesday Morning Prayer (Wk35/2021)

Abba! Father! I give You all glory, honour and praise. I thank You for awaking me this morning with all my faculties in place. I am comforted by the fact that You are the same Father as You were yesterday, will be tomorrow and will forever be; You change not.

Today, I hear You calling me to a Higher Place, knowing You; realising Who You are, Your power and Your might. I pray that You sit within my spirit and speak to me through the scriptures I read, all forms of media I come into contact with, songs I listen to and conversations I have. I ask for clarity in my thoughts and the understanding of the complexity of how the body and mind works; how it is affected by the things put into it and surrounding it. I am asking that You stand guard and become the Watchman of my mind, spirit and soul, so I will be open to receive only from You. Your Word tells me I can ask anything in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ; Yeshua HaMashiach, my Lord and Saviour, and I will be given it. Therefore, I cover this prayer and ask, knowing I shall receive. My Father and my God, I trust in You.

“So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn, and He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.”

Hosea 6:3 (AMP)

For I desire and delight in [steadfast] loyalty [faithfulness in the covenant relationship], rather than sacrifice, and in the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

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).

Tuesday Morning Scripture (Wk35/2021) – Hosea 6

The Response to God’s Rebuke

1 “Come and let us return [in repentance] to the Lord, for He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.

2 “After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him.

3 “So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn, and He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.”

The Reply of the Lord

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do with you? O Judah, what shall I do with you?

For your [wavering] loyalty and kindness are [transient] like the morning cloud and like the dew that goes away early.

5 Therefore, I have hewn them in pieces by [the words of] the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; My judgments [pronounced upon them by the prophets] are like the light that shines forth [obvious to all].

6 For I desire and delight in [steadfast] loyalty [faithfulness in the covenant relationship], rather than sacrifice, and in the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

7 But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they have dealt treacherously against Me.

8 Gilead is a city of wrongdoers; it is tracked with bloody footprints.

9 And as bands of robbers [lie in] wait for a man, so a band of priests murder on the road toward Shechem [covering their crimes in that city of refuge]; Certainly they have committed crimes and outrages.

10 I have seen a horrible thing [sins of every kind] in the house of Israel!

Ephraim’s prostitution (idolatry) is there; Israel has defiled itself.

11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest [of divine judgment] appointed for you, when I restore the fortunes of My people [who have been slaves to the misery of sin].

Hosea 6 (AMP)
