1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it, the world, and those who dwell in it.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the streams and the rivers.
3 Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.
Abba Father, I give You all glory, honour, praise and thanks for waking me up this morning to face a brand new day. There are many that laid their head to rest last night that didn’t lift it this morning, so I am grateful.
Today, as David inquired of You, to know You more, I do the same. I will inquire of the Holy Spirit and/or via Your Word. As I read, I pray You will speak to my spirit, so I will be open to receive and recollect, what You tell me today and what You have told me in the past. From the Holy Spirit I pray to receive Your guidance, protection, fullness of joy, liberty, victory, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, fear of You; because, whatever I need is within You. I realise that all received will enable my spiritual growth and assist in events occurring today and in the future. I ask You to plant it all within me, so that at the required moments I will be able to recall. Today, may I take full advantage of every precious gift which is available for the taking. Today, I pray that You will anoint me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, and touch my inner parts. I pray to feel Your presence, which You have said will always be with me; for You will neither leave nor forsake me, either today or in the future. Today, I will be glad. My Father and my God, I trust in You.
4 Then David inquired of the Lord again. And the Lord answered him, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will hand over the Philistines to you.”
5 So David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines; he drove away their cattle and struck them with a great slaughter. So David rescued the inhabitants of Keilah.
1 Samuel 23:4-5 (AMP)
David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this band [of raiders]? Will I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will certainly rescue [the captives].”
1 Samuel 30:8 (AMP)
David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You hand them over to me?” And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly hand them over to you.”
2 Samuel 5:19 (AMP)
Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”
Hebrews 13:5 (AMPC)
20 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, 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 Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).

Abba Father, I thank You because You are my First, my Last and my All. I thank You for Your love, Your kindness and mercies, which are new every morning.
Today, I realise and give thanks because You are the Watchman of my spiritual heart. I place myself and those I am linked to by acquaintance, blood, social status, work, worship, or those set to cross my path in the future, at Your feet and ask in faith that I will continue to lean on You and not my own understanding. I pray that I will continue knowing You personally, as my Lord, Saviour and the Lover of my soul, and ask to be drawn even closer to You. You say in Your Word that You know the plans You have for me and I give thanks knowing there is no need to fear. Your Word says that our children are like arrows placed in the hands of a warrior. Therefore, I place the youth of this land before You and ask that they will rise in whatever condition they are in, whatever their status, so Your will may be done by them and through them. Equip them for the week ahead, as You know all things. I pray that You will take control of every situation and conversation. Anything we do, whether we are young or old and the colour of our skin, it is only by Your grace that we are able to follow it through to a successful end. Being the Watchman of our spiritual hearts, I ask You to take control of the things that may cause us harm and turn it all around. I thank You in advance for keeping me, my Father and my God, I trust in You.
Behold, I am with you and will keep [careful watch over you and guard] you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this [promised] land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
Genesis 28:15 (AMP)
Prosperity Comes from the Lord.
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon
Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.
Psalm 127:1 (AMP)
This is what the Lord says, “In a favorable time I have answered You, And in a day of salvation I have helped You; And I will keep watch over You and give You for a covenant of the people, To restore the land [from its present state of ruin] and to apportion and give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands,
Isaiah 49:8 (AMP)
For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP)
The Lord appeared to me (Israel) from ages past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.
Jeremiah 31:3 (AMP)
20 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, 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 Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).
Abba Father, I come before You this morning giving all glory, honour, praise and thanks. I ask You for forgiveness of all sins and know that it shall be done.
Today, my soul magnifies You. I thank You for the manifestation You have made in my mind, soul and spirit. I thank You for the understanding that has been revealed to me, after my week of paying close attention to the opening of my eyes, mind and spirit. I thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer; for I have requested an overflow and it has been received. I thank You that I have been called, justified and glorified and that through the recesses of time, when I have felt all alone, You have always been there. I pray it will always be imprinted in both my physical and spiritual eyes, mind and spirit. Help me as I attempt to walk in the Spirit, may that connection grow deeper and deeper. There are deeper depths and higher heights to go; Father God, I am ready. With You, all things are possible. I have delved into Your Word and it has shown me (and confirmed), that I am Your child. It is by Your grace, which is amazing, unmerited favour, that I am able to grow and bloom. Thank You Most High God, for drawing me close to You. Thank You God, You are an Ever-present help, not only in times of trouble, but at all times. I have accepted that there is now no condemnation. You have said it, so I believe it. I am free from all burden, guilt and shame. Father God, I truly trust in You.
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray (also) for one another, that you may be healed and restored (to a spiritual tone of mind and heart). The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working).
James 5:16 (AMPC)
20 I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21 I do not ignore or nullify the [gracious gift of the] grace of God [His amazing, unmerited favor], for if righteousness comes through [observing] the Law, then Christ died needlessly. [His suffering and death would have had no purpose whatsoever.]”
Galatians 2:20-21 (AMP)
24 Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—
25 To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity).
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].
38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
