Again I Say, Come, Just As You Are (Wk8/2021)

IF the title of this has caught your eye, then this is for you. IF you feel as though your life is unbearable and you can’t take anymore, then this is for you. IF you feel all alone and that the events occurring in the world right now are leaving you feeling as though you have nothing to live for, then this is for you. IF it takes much for you to get up in the morning and you feel alone, desperate and spiritually destitute, then THIS IS FOR YOU. Things do not just happen by chance. Every little thing that happens in your life, is mapped out by a Mighty God, who created this earth and He cares for you. He stood outside of time, as we know it, and knew this very moment would take place. He is calling to you now and wants you to hear His voice.

casting all your cares (all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares about you (with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully).
1 Peter 5:7 (AMP)

You may have heard of the song Come Just As You Are (a link is under the above photo). It cries out to those who have not yet given their lives to God and advises those who already have, to draw closer.

Today, God is calling out for YOU to hear His Spirit call. Let Him in. Don’t ignore it. Don’t shut it out. Don’t deny what you’re hearing and don’t put it off. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone on this earth. No matter your age, colour, ethnicity, race, religion, how much money you do or do not have in the bank, your past beliefs, what falsehoods others have told you about God or yourself, when you close the sale on your home, no matter what projects you have just started or the positions you are working towards. The decision you make right now, determines your tomorrow; determines your future. He wants to anoint your head with the oil of gladness. Right where you are, you can close your eyes and ask your God (personalise it), to take your heart and take control. He’ll heal your heart. In some cases it can be instantaneous; depending on how much you’re willing to release. At other times it can take some time. That’s okay! Don’t beat yourself up, it’s a process. Hand it over to God and allow Him to take control.

Come Just As You Are.

For every soul, which requires The Son of God, The Son of man came to set you free; He died and rose again that You might have life and have it in abundance. An abundance of joy, will be yours. Comfort, will be yours. Blessings, are yours to receive. Strength, is yours. All you have to do is look to Him. Lean on Him and not yourself and things of this world. When looking to Him, you know that things cannot fail. He will ease every burden. The road won’t be an easy one BUT with Him leading the way you can be assured you WILL make it. Receive His peace.

To every hurting, lonely heart out there, I say again:

Come Just As You Are.

He gives strength to the weary, And to him who has no might He increases power.
Isaiah 40:29 (AMP)

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened (by religious rituals that provide no peace), and I will give you rest (refreshing your souls with salvation). Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me (following Me as My disciple), for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy (to bear) and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28 (AMP)

Come, Just As You Are (Wk8/2021)

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me all who are heavy laden and burdened…I WILL give you rest.

Our Lord Almighty, strong in battle, WILL relieve you of your burden, WHATEVER it may be. It could be abandonment, depression, doubt, grief, hate, loss, pain, sadness and/or an unclean heart. Whatever seems like a load you can no longer carry. You may have something that you have been carrying for a lifetime, years, months, weeks, days or hours. Whatever it is lay it down and you will be able to continue living life to your full potential. Step out from the burden but not His covering. Allow Him to steer you wherever you should go. Tell Him wherever You lead me I will follow. He stands outside of time as we know it, so He sees what would be expected to Him but unexpected to you.

Trust Him

Thursday Morning Prayer (Wk8/2021))

Almighty God, I come before You with thanksgiving in my heart. I have woken to another day and I give You all the glory and the praise. I thank You for forgiveness of sins and the mercy shown to be every morning.

Today, may I claim my identity, as Your child, with my whole being. I pray, as it says in Your Word, without ceasing. As I face this day I approach Your throne as a vessel to be used to Your pleasing. Sanctify me. Make me whole. Make me the way You want me to be. I thank You that, as I enter this new season for the atmosphere, it is the same in the spirit realm. Illuminate the path before me, so I will see all that I am supposed to, in the way I am supposed to. Illuminate me with Your Spirit.

Sanctify them (purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy) by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.
John 17:17 (AMPC)

Be unceasing in prayer (praying perseveringly);
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (AMPC)

And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through (separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God); and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete (and found) blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (AMPC)

¹³But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. ¹⁴He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 (NIV)

To You who is able to keep me from falling and to present me before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – to You who is the only God, my Saviour, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Yeshua The Anointed One, my Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. Jude 1:24-25

Tuesday Morning Prayer – (Wk8/2021)

My Father and my God, I approach Your throne of grace this morning, lifting my hands as I declare Your power, glory, grace and give You thanks. I thank You for what You have done, what You are doing and what You intend to do. I thank You for forgiveness of all my sins and leave myself open to what this day has to offer, through You.

Today, I close my spirit and mind to all but You. May I hear Your voice. I acknowledge that all things are possible for those whose hope and trust is in You, Yeshua HaMashiach. We have been called to spread the Good News, Your Good News. I pray that as I read the Scriptures, consume Your Word, it will not only edify me but also allow me to understand You more, and therefore go on to edify others, causing an increase of Your Kingdom. It is all for Your Kingdom. Help me to find the joy of being Your disciple, whilst also focusing on the treasures which await me. Strengthen me, so that I may get closer and closer to You. There is no limit for me when I am covered by You.

But those who wait for the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings (and rise up close to God) like eagles (rising toward the sun); They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.
Isaiah 40:31 (AMPC)

“The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior (Who saves)! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest (in silent satisfaction) and in His love He will be silent and make no mention (of past sins, or even recall them); He will exult over you with singing”
Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP)

You who live in the shelter of ‘Elyon, who spend your nights in the shadow of Shaddai,²who say to Adonai, “My refuge! My fortress! My God, in whom I trust!” —³He will rescue you from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities;⁴He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His truth is a shield and protection.
Psalm 91:1-4 (CJB)

²³And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you, it will be difficult for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. ²⁴Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the Kingdom of Heaven. ²⁵When the disciples heard this, they were utterly puzzled (astonished, bewildered), saying, Who then can be saved (from eternal death)? ²⁶But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.
Matthew 19:23-26 (AMPC)

Monday Morning Prayer (Wk8/2021)

El Elyon, I ask that through this week You anoint me with Your Holy Spirit. I am nothing without You. You are aware of every detail ahead of me this week, but I need not fear because You will be by my side. Your Word forewarns me that the enemy comes for no reason but to steal, kill and destroy. He will steal my belief and give me doubt: steal my dreams, and replace with confusion, broken promises and nightmares: kill my joy and give me sadness: destroy my potential and plant the inconceivable seed: steal my zeal for things of You and replace it with a jaded view, putting my focus on things that are not of You. However, I trust in You. In the name of Your Son Yeshua HaMashiach, You will never leave nor forsake me. My hope in You will never falter. Once I look to You I will go from strength to strength to strength to……. Within this week I shall be able to accomplish all that You have set for me. I pray that everything I do will be pleasing to You, as I realise each moment where I am to spread Your Good News. You will be rejoiced. This week I look to You for all things, my hope is in You,

⁴You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. ⁵Now therefore, if you will obey My voice in truth and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own peculiar possession and treasure from among and above all peoples; for all the earth is Mine.
Exodus 19:4-5 (AMPC)

But those who wait for the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings (and rise up close to God) like eagles (rising toward the sun); They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.
Isaiah 40:31 (AMPC)

“The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior (Who saves)! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest (in silent satisfaction) and in His love He will be silent and make no mention (of past sins, or even recall them); He will exult over you with singing”
Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP)

And his heart goes out to you more abundantly than ever as he recalls the submission (to his guidance) that all of you had, and the reverence and anxiety (to meet all requirements) with which you accepted and welcomed him.
2 Corinthians 7:15 (AMPC)

It was thus that Sarah obeyed Abraham (following his guidance and acknowledging his headship over her by) calling him lord (master, leader, authority). And you are now her true daughters if you do right and let nothing terrify you (not giving way to hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you).
1 Peter 3:6 (AMPC)

Sunday Morning Prayer (Wk7/2021)

🎵As I think of the goodness of Jesus and what He has done for me, my heart cries out HalleluYah, thank God for saving me🎵

Almighty God, I come before You with my heart filled with thanks and praise. Today is the day that we are to set aside to glorify and lift You up. I ask You to anoint me and speak to my spirit. I pray any Word I receive, comes directly from Your throne of grace and that I will be able to meditate on the scriptures within this prayer. This day is usually considered to be a day of rest in the world, depending on what path/religion we choose to follow, but I thank You that, because of Your Son Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, You love us anyway. It is because of His Blood, shed on calvary’s cross, our belief in it and His resurrection, that we are covered by that Blood and all it signifies. We can praise and worship You on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but You still sit on Your throne and what You sent Your Son to do has already been done. It is finished! Help us to remember we are servers of the Mighty King and that we are not to be religious but followers of The One You sent to die.

I thank You for what You’ve done, what You’re doing, and what You intend to do.

One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord (in His presence) all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty (the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur) of the Lord and to meditate in His temple.
Psalm 27:4 (AMP)

I will meditate on Your precepts And (thoughtfully) regard Your ways (the path of life established by Your precepts).
Psalm 119:15 (AMP)

Make me understand the way of Your precepts, So that I will meditate (focus my thoughts) on Your wonderful works.
Psalm 119:27 (AMP)

And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments, Which I love; And I will meditate on Your statutes.
Psalm 119:48 (AMP)

Just consider and meditate on Him who endured from sinners such bitter hostility against Himself (consider it all in comparison with your trials), so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:3 (AMP)

Saturday Morning Prayer (Wk7/2021)

El Elyon, I come before You with thanksgiving and praise within my heart. No matter what had happened at the beginning of this week, yesterday or last night; You are the same God then as You are now and as You will continue to be. For that I give You thanks because You are the one constant in my life. I ask You for forgiveness of all sins, whether they be of thought, word or deed.

Today, as I go about this day; washing, cooking, cleaning or whatever task may cross my path; I pray my spirit will be at rest within you. Your Word tells me those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. I lift my life to You and know it will be filled, but I dare ask for an overflow. You hear and answer prayer, so I am assured, the best is yet to come. You do not sparingly reward Your children, so I know You will continue to answer my prayers and bless me with the strength required and patience to endure, as I wait. Whatever happens, victory is mine and there will be an expected end. Help me Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMaShiach, as I continue to trust in You.

Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied!
Matthew 5:6 (AMPC)

For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook (identifying certain Hebrew letters) will pass from the Law until all things (it foreshadows) are accomplished.
Matthew 5:18 (AMJC)

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith?
Matthew 6:30 (AMPC)

He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith (that is, your lack of firmly relying trust). For truly I say to you, if you have faith (that is living) like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Matthew 17:20 (AMPC)

4 And we still have the promise that God gave those people. That promise is that we can enter his place of rest. So we should be very careful that none of you fails to get that promise. ²Yes, the good news about it was told to us just as it was to them. But the message they heard did not help them. They heard it but did not accept it with faith. ³Only we who believe it are able to enter God’s place of rest. As God said,
“I was angry and made a promise: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”
But God’s work was finished from the time he made the world
Hebrews 4:1-4 (ERV)

³⁵Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. ³⁶For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away (and enjoy to the full) what is promised.
Hebrews 10:35-36 (AMPC)
