Monday Morning Prayer (Wk9/2021)

Abba Father, I come before Your throne, giving You glory, honour and praise. I ask for forgiveness from sins of thought, word or deed and give You thanks, beforehand, of what I am to receive. You are the God of breakthroughs and I come empty and ready to be filled.

This week, I choose to approach Your Word as a little child. You tell us we are to come as little children; not as though we know everything but as if naive. Only when we do that, are we able to receive new things within Your Word, Every time we turn the pages of the Manual for Life, there are new blessings to receive and new information to be read and consumed in a different way. Keep my heart in a teachable state. Help me to approach You humbly and ready to learn, so that when I pick up Your Word I receive all that I am, and there is, to receive: not with preconceived ideas but as one who is ready to squeeze every bit of blessing, wisdom, knowledge and understanding out of what there is to be obtained. My aim is to inherit Your Kingdom and be a good steward, so help me to seek You and will find it.

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)

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in and acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin (that is, who entices him or hinders him in right conduct or thought), it would be better (more expedient and profitable or advantageous) for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea.

Matthew 18:6 (AMPC)

“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father (you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation), inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Matthew 25:34 (AMPC)

Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over (with no space left for more). For with the standard of measurement you use (when you do good to others), it will be measured to you in return.”

Luke 6:38 (AMPC)

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

Sunday Morning Prayer (Wk8/2021)

God wants to heal you everywhere you hurt; from your head to your toes, inside and out. No matter where you are on the expanse of this world.

Almighty God, I thank You for being an Amazing God. All too often we do not worship and praise You the way You deserve, but this morning I do it to the best of my ability. At this moment I lift You up and give You praise, glory, honour and thanks for this day. I woke this morning and it was only by Your grace. I thank You that even though You are a Mighty God You will still reach down in the midst of where we are and provide comfort, healing, love and so much more. Whilst we were so unworthy, You sent Your only Son, to be wounded for our transgressions and crucified on a cross but He then rose again! It’s by Him rising on the third day, doing the impossible, we are given the hope of glory. I thank You for all You’ve done; all you’re doing and all You intend to do.

Today, there is much that needs to be brought before You but I thank You, because You know all things before they are said. This morning I bring before You the people who hurt mentally. There are many reasons for hurting; some seen and some unseen. It doesn’t matter whether or not they are visible, but the fact that it is affecting so many lives, is reason enough for it to be vocalised. I come to You Lord and ask that You break every chain, remove every spiritual muzzle, anoint every head, remove all fear, take away all grief; let every broken heart or person filled with pain realise or remember, they have a Redeemer who has seen and felt every tear.

My God…your God…can and will heal you EVERYWHERE and in ANY WAY you hurt.

Abba Father, the earth is not too large or containing too many people for You to not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities. You know the number of hairs on our heads and every sigh made, so I believe and understand that You know and You care. In the Holy Bible there is a woman with an issue of blood. She had been bleeding for many years. She reached out and touched the hem of Yeshua HaMashiach’s cloak, and even though there were many tugging at Him or just wanting to get close, He was able to feel her pain, her sickness. He felt the power had left Him. It is the same when we call out; whether it be physically or spiritually. If we call out, our cries will be heard, You are waiting, This pandemic has affected the strongest of people. Many are hurting physically, spiritually and mentally. It doesn’t matter our ailment, the same applies. No matter the issue, we can be healed. Our belief, in You and what You can do, is the first step. Increase our faith, so we feel You, understand and believe. Touch us from the hairs on our heads to the soles of our feet, inside and out; let there not be a part of us, individually or collectively, reading this prayer, that is the same again. Grant us Your grace and Your peace.

He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds (healing their pain and comforting their sorrow).

Psalm 147:3 (AMP)

“Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth; Your righteousness will go before you (leading you to peace and prosperity), The glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

Isaiah 58:8 (AMP)

And He went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people (and revealing that He was indeed the promised Messiah).

Matthew 4:23 (AMP)

24 And Jesus went with him; and a great crowd kept following Him and pressed Him from all sides [so as almost to suffocate Him].

25 And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

26 And who had endured much suffering under [the hands of] many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was no better but instead grew worse.

27 She had heard the reports concerning Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment,

28 For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.

Matthew 5:24-28 (AMP)

All the people were trying to touch Him, because [healing] power was coming from Him and healing them all.

Luke 6:19 (AMP)

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 1:25

Saturday Morning Prayer (Wk8/2021)

El Elyon, I awake this morning and give You all the glory, honour, praise and thanks that I have woken to see another day. I thank You that I have not just woken in the physical realm but also the spiritual, and for that I worship You.

Today, I want to glorify You because You are the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forevermore. Heaven and Earth may pass away but Your Word and You will still remain the same. I thank You that I am Your child and in You I can trust and depend. I thank You for Your omniscience; You know everything. With You I cannot lie or pretend, because You know it all anyway. There is no person on this earth that I am able to do that with. You are righteous, so cannot and do not pass any unrighteousness judgement. I thank You for Your omnipotence; You have all might and all power and You are on my side. I thank You that You are infinite; You cannot be held ‘in a box’; You have no end. You are impossible for man to explain or understand. Many conversations and arguments occur because You are unfathomable. I thank You that it is not for me to know but for me to be enlightened by Your Holy Spirit.

I not only thank You for who You are, but I give thanks that You are and I am Your child.

In the beginning God (Elohim) created (by forming from nothing) the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep (primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth). The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:1-2 (AMP)

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

Psalm 139:7-9 (AMP)

Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass grow on the mountains.

Psalm 145:8 (AMP)

Great is our (majestic and mighty) Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is inexhaustible (infinite, boundless).

Psalm 147:5 (AMP)

And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. (His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.)

Colossians 1:17 (AMP)

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.

Romans 8:37-39 (AMP)

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

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

Come Just As You Are

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)

13 But 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. 14 He 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
