Friday Morning Prayer (Wk32/2021)

My Father and my God, I awake this morning giving You glory, honour and praise. I give thanks that You have given me one more day. All I ask is, You stand by me, go before me, shield behind me and work through me in every thought, word spoken and thing done.

Today, I focus on Your love and what You had done and continue to do, for me. I am no longer a slave to sin or fear. I have been forgiven. I now have a new life. I have been reborn, spiritually transformed and regenerated. I am anointed. I am a living stone being built up in Yeshua HaMashiach; strong and sturdy, if I keep my focus. I am deeply rooted. I am who You say I am and can do all the things You say I can do: I can do ALL things through Yeshua HaMashiach who strengths me. I am now able to stand boldly at Your throne of grace for I am Your child. Yeshua HaMashiach bled and died…just for me! I, therefore, wholeheartedly say: Abba! Father! I trust in You.

He was saying, “Abba, Father! All things are possible for You; take this cup [of judgment] away from Me; but not what I will, but what You will.”

Mark 14:36 (AMP)

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba! Father!”

Romans 8:15 (AMP)

And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! Father!”

Galatians 4:6 (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)

Friday Morning Scripture (Wk32/2021) – Ephesians 4:25-32

The Christian’s Walk ctd

25 Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ].

26 Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down.

27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness].

28 The thief [who has become a believer] must no longer steal, but instead he must work hard [making an honest living], producing that which is good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with those in need.

29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak].

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin].

31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence].

32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.

Ephesians 4:25-32 (AMP)

Thursday Morning Prayer (Wk32/2021)

My Father and my God, thank You.

Today, I focus on what it truly is for us, here on earth, to be Your sons and daughters. Your word reminds me that I am redeemed; purchased with The Blood of Your Son Yeshua HaMashiach. It is because of His stripes received, death on the cross and resurrection, that I am healed; my sins are washed away; and I am made whole. What love You have for us that Your Son was made the propitiation for our sin; it is hard to comprehend. My prayer is that I may know Yeshua and the full power of His resurrection. It is because of my belief in Him, that I have the victory, and I am spiritually alive. Your Word advises me to come boldly, to Your Throne of Grace, uninhibited because You already know ALL things. Build my confidence and relationship with You, so I will no longer fear. My Father and my God, I trust in You.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5 (AMP)

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ my God!

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down!

Did ever such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707

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)

Thursday Morning Scripture (Wk32/2021) – Ephesians 4:17-24

The Christian’s Walk

17 So this I say, and solemnly affirm together with the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the [unbelieving] Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds [and in the foolishness and emptiness of their souls],

18 for their [moral] understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded; [they are] alienated and self-banished from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the [willful] ignorance and spiritual blindness that is [deep-seated] within them, because of the hardness and insensitivity of their heart.

19 And they, [the ungodly in their spiritual apathy], having become callous and unfeeling, have given themselves over [as prey] to unbridled sensuality, eagerly craving the practice of every kind of impurity [that their desires may demand].

20 But you did not learn Christ in this way!

21 If in fact you have [really] heard Him and have been taught by Him, just as truth is in Jesus [revealed in His life and personified in Him],

22 that, regarding your previous way of life, you put off your old self [completely discard your former nature], which is being corrupted through deceitful desires,

23 and be continually renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh, untarnished mental and spiritual attitude],

24 and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature], created in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth [living in a way that expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation].

Ephesians 4:17-24 (AMP)

I lift my hands in total adoration unto you
You reign on the throne for you are God and God alone
Because of you my cloudy days are gone
I can sing to you this song
I just want to say that I love you more than anything

[Bridge:]
Love me in your arms
You were my shelter from the storm
When all my friends were gone
You were right there all along
I never knew a love like this before, oh
I just want to say that I love you more than anything

[Chorus:]
I love you Jesus
I worship and adore you
Just want to tell you
Lord, I love you more than anything

Wednesday Morning Prayer (Wk32/2021)

Abba! Father! I awake this morning meditating on Your goodness and I give you all glory, honour and praise. As the sun that You created, shines down on me, I acknowledge that every season or weather condition has its purpose. I give thanks for one more day of sunshine to appreciate, realise and tell others, that it’s ALL within You.

Today, I look into what it means to truly give You glory, honour and praise, that is due to You and Your Name. To give You glory, is to praise and worship You within me and outwardly; to make it known, and understand, exactly what You have done and why You deserve to be lifted up and magnified. To honour You, is to place You high above all things in my life; before my needs and wants, treating You with high respect and admiration. To praise You, is to express my admiration and thanks for ALL You have done. I am only made worthy of what You have done by Your Son Yeshua HaMashiach. Thank You! May everything I see and/or receive today, be only from You; if not for now but in the future. Help me to walk in the path You have set for me, never being sidetracked. Teach me to keep my focus on You, knowing that if I do so, all my needs and wants shall be poured upon me: It is ALL within You. Touch my spirit and draw it closer to Your Spirit, so I will be strengthened for every task before me; giving You absolute glory, honour and praise. My Father and my God, I trust in You.

9 For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love the Lord, hate evil; He protects the souls of His godly ones (believers), He rescues them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown [like seed] for the righteous and illuminates their path, and [irrepressible] joy [is spread] for the upright in heart [who delight in His favor and protection].

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones [those whose moral and spiritual integrity places them in right standing with God], and praise and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

Psalm 97:9-12 (AMP)

Therefore honor and glorify the Lord in the east [in the region of light], The name of the Lord, the God of Israel [honor His name], In the coastlands and islands of the [Mediterranean] Sea.

Isaiah 24:15 (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)


Wednesday Morning Scripture (W32/2021) – Ephesians 4:9-16

Unity of the Spirit ctd

”9 (Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had previously descended [from the heights of heaven] into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He who descended is the very same as He who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things [that is, the whole universe]).

11 And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct],

12 [and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church];

13 until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].

14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].

15 But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ.

16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love.

Ephesians 4:9-16 (AMP)

Tuesday Morning Prayer (Wk32/2021)

Abba Father, I come before You this morning with thanksgiving in my heart and enter Your courts with praise. I thank You that Your mercies are new every morning.

Today, I focus on Your regeneration and renewal. The Apostle Paul urges me to be of those who are sanctified and ready for service. As he did and You did, So will I. Help me Lord to keep my focus on High, so I may be found worthy as I realise Your plan and purpose for my life. As I go about my day thinking about Your greatness, I pray that You speak to me. There is no other place that my life and heart could be; I look to You because there is nobody like You. My Father and my God, I trust in You.

and put on the new self [the regenerated and renewed nature], created in God’s image, [godlike] in the righteousness and holiness of the truth [living in a way that expresses to God your gratitude for your salvation].

Ephesians 4:24 (AMP)

1 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.

2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

3 For by the grace [of God] given to me I say to everyone of you not to think more highly of himself [and of his importance and ability] than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has apportioned to each a degree of faith [and a purpose designed for service].

Romans 12:2 (AMP)

And as You speak

A hundred billion failures disappear

Where You lost Your life so I could find it here

If You left the grave behind You, so will I

I can see Your heart in everything You’ve done

Every part designed in a work of art called love

If You gladly chose surrender, so will I

I can see Your heart

Eight billion different ways

Every precious one

A child You died to save

If You gave Your life to love them, so will I

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).
