Thought For The Day – Steadfast (Wk4/2021)

Thursday Morning Prayer (Wk4/2021)

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but The Blood of Jesus! I ask You to saturate my soul with The Blood of Your Son and wash me whiter than snow. For I know, it’s only because of that redeeming Blood, You are able to look at me. It is because of that Blood, I am able to walk in newness of life; forgiven and made whole. Thank You for Your mercies, which are new every morning.

Today, I give You thanks that there is not a place or situation before me, where Your grace has not gone ahead and paved the way. Therefore, my trust is in You. For this brand new day, I face it as a new creation, clothed in righteousness. I ask You to guard my heart and my mind.

But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Isaiah 22:22

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
Isaiah 26:3

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10

For it is by grace (God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ) that you have been saved (actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life) through faith. And this (salvation) is not of yourselves (not through your own effort), but it is the (undeserved, gracious) gift of God; not as a result of (your) works (nor your attempts to keep the Law), so that no one will (be able to) boast or take credit in any way (for his salvation).
Ephesians 2:8-9 (AMP)

…….and the Ever-living One (living in and beyond all time and space). I died, but see, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of (absolute control and victory over) death and of Hades (the realm of the dead).
Revelation 1:18 (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

Abba Father, I thank You for placing another day before me. I ask that You forgive me of my sins, whether they be of thoughts, words or deeds. I pray that you strengthen me and continue to be strong in whatever area I am weak.

Today I thank You that I stand before You righteous. I stand before You as a new creation. I stand before You as a Kingdom Citizen. Yeshua HaMashiach is righteous, so I am made righteous through Him; because I believe. I am able to walk uprightly and worthy for the path that has been set before me because Your Word, and the righteous men of the past revealed, have let me know what You thought of them You will think of me. Therefore, I believe in the shedding of the Blood of Yeshua the Anointed One and what it means. He is the propitiation of my sin. Thank You, Father for sending Him to save me.

Genesis 22:18 (AMP)

Abba Father, The Most High God, who is above all things and worthy of all glory, adoration and worship. I thank You this morning, for another day. I repent of all sins, be they of thought, word or deed and ask for Your continued leading and presence.

Today, I realise that within this moment, this day, this week and the rest of this year that is laid before me, there will be no good thing withheld from me. I thank You in advance for going before me and making any crooked way straight. I thank You for being the LORD of the breakthrough. All things I have been praying for, I will receive positive answers for. I ask You to breathe Your breath over it. As You hovered over the face of the earth, bringing it to life, I pray life is given to the plans I have before me. I give thanks that You will neither leave nor forsake me; You are The Ever-present God. In the midst of the chaos of 2021, I will be blessed coming in and blessed going out; good health will be my portion; heaven will give me wisdom on financial investments; prosperity will be my portion; I will be above and not beneath; my days will be numbered by You and nothing and no-one will be able to shorten it; my blood and spiritual family will be blessed; I shall be fruitful and multiply; I shall realise and touch my blessings, as they will be brought into fruition; in righteousness I shall be established; I shall receive an outpouring of Your grace; I shall break up the fallow ground; I shall sow and eventually reap; You shall restore every good thing I have lost; I shall read, consume and fill my mind with Your knowledge and direction; a rebirth is about to take place; I am being recreated; old things have passed away, I shall remember them no more; all is being made new; My dependency on You shall multiply, as I seek to do Your will: I shall be led by Your Holy Spirit; and receive the full power of Your Resurrection and my belief in it. All the aforementioned are believed and known and I decree and declare: So Shall It Be!

Sunday Morning Prayer (Wk3/2021)

“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 30:17

As I come before You this morning I just want to give You all the glory, honour and praise. I thank You that because of Your love, mercy and grace, I can come before Your mercy seat and ask You for forgiveness of my sins of thought, word or deed. I may sin over and over again but You are Elohe Chaseddi, a merciful God, so I can come before You and know that You will forgive and strengthen me, as Your mercies are new every morning.

Firstly I clothe myself with the Holy armour You have given me, so that I am covered from head to toe, inside and out and declare that no weapon that is formed, built and constructed against me shall prosper, whether it be directly or indirectly. It shall do me no harm.

We are experiencing a daily count of deaths, which is hard to comprehend. I join in prayer with so many others and call this virus by name and attack it with the weaponry You have given us. It is Your will that we should pray without ceasing, so we come against all the enemies seen or unseen on the land and in the hospitals. I ask You to breathe Your breath of life, healing and deliverance within those in the hospitals, whatever the ailment. We call out Covid, in all its forms, as it appears to be the most prevalent sickness at this moment in time. It’s not the only sickness out there but because we have all been affected directly and indirectly we call it out and cover everyone with the precious blood of Your Son Yeshua HaMashiach. Heal our lands where we reside and that holds our spirits. Freedoms, hope, joy, and in some cases faith, has been taken away or depleted. Please restore all those things and magnify our strength in You. We do not forget other sicknesses, such as Cancers and Diabetes, in their many forms; Sickle Cell Disease and all its relating ailments; Blood clotting disorders; Depression; Multiple Sclerosis; and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. There are many diseases and disorders affecting lives, which is to do with the fall of man, please heal your people. Things and situations in our lives can place a gap between us living life to our best potential and place a distance between us and You. I pray that all things are removed in the Mighty Name of Yeshua HaMashiach! As Your Word calls us to be holy as You are holy, we know that for us to be far from You is not of our portion. Your Word tells us that ALL things are possible with You, so we draw near with confidence, as this is our time of need.

I thank You that faith knows no distance or is adverse to any situation, so we can pray with confidence knowing our prayers WILL be answered. Increase the levels of faith around the globe, no matter the country or stretch of land. As long as the faith is in You, our Almighty God. We place all honour, glory and praise to You.

Thought For The Day – God’s Gift

Thursday Morning Prayer (Wk3/2021)

“For he will be (nourished) like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river…….”
John 15:5 (AMP)

I awake this morning giving You the glory, honour and praise. I ask You for forgiveness of sins of the mind, thoughts and deeds and lift You up because of who You are. If we refuse to praise You, the mountains, hills and trees will burst forth in praise and worship. Therefore, I will continually lift up my hands.

Today, I acknowledge You as the Gardener, Your Son Jesus Christ as the True Vine and myself as a branch. My survival depends on being attached to the True Vine. He is the source that guides, protects. strengthens, provides truth, abundance and blessings. Please bless me as I attempt to always cleave to Him. Your Word says, they that worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. May You be pleased as I am nourished by Your Holy Spirit, so will bear fruit because I am considered a healthy branch. Help me as I pull on Your Son as a source of life. As I meditate on Your Word day and night, let it feed me and give me the all I need to face each day, knowing You will go before me. I will bear fruit, as I am called to do, by spreading the Good News. Prune me as often and as frequently as necessary, so I will be effective. I want to be a vessel that is ever-changing, to improve and go from glory to glory. I am aware of the times ahead and need Your presence 24/7 365. Help me as I spread the truth with others, the knowledge of Your blessings and the promises of eternal life. May the truth not fall on deaf ears and the hearer believe and understand. Blessings come in many forms, which include, but are not limited to financial gains. Renew my mind, so I’ll understand the blessings available to me and seek them out. I know that within You I live, move and have my being. I look to Your light, so it will continue to go before me like the dawn. You know the plans You have for me…plans for a future, a hope and an expected end. If I seek You with my whole heart I shall find You. Away from You there is nothing that I can do. As part of the essential assignment I’m on, the High Calling received, may I excel and have a positive outcome for Your Kingdom.

“Blessed (with spiritual security) is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the LORD and whose hope and confident expectation is the LORD. “For he will be (nourished) like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river; and will not fear the heat when it comes; But its leaves will be green and moist. And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought nor stop bearing fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 (AMP)

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
John 15:1-4 (New International Version)
