Thought For The Day – Are You Ready…? (Wk4/2021)

Saturday Morning Prayer (Wk4/2021)

The song writer said, Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary; pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving I’ll be a living sanctuary for You. Today I approach Your Throne of Grace, asking that I am prepared for the day and times ahead. In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle was built as a Dwelling Place for You. My prayer is that, in the same way, my body is prepared to be a place where You may dwell; may You find it a place where You can and will rest. I lay myself before You in the physical and the spiritual, for the process to take place. Place it within my mind, heart and spirit the true knowledge of You, the God I serve. May I perfectly realise and perceive the full power of the resurrection of Your Son Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach. Your Word tells me that if You are lifted up from this earth You will draw all man to You. Therefore, I lift You up, I worship, glorify and honour You. I place You above all things. I pray that of all the verdicts I may face, Yours will be the only one that matters. Wherever I fail, may Your Word pull me up as I remember that ALL things are possible via You and what a Mighty God I serve! You will be my first port of call in the morning; the last thing at night. As You reveal things to me, may it be possible for me to understand. As You reveal things to me, may I not be afraid. As You reveal things to me, may I obey. El Elyon, I trust in You.

You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance— the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.
Exodus 15:17 (NIV)

“Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.
Exodus 25:8

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

Do not fear (anything), for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand (a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation).’
Isaiah 41:10 (AMP)

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
John 12:32 (NIV)

And (I pray) that the eyes of your heart (the very centre and core of your being) may be enlightened (flooded with light by the Holy Spirit), so that you will know and cherish the hope (the divine guarantee, the confident expectation) to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people),
Ephesians 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

Friday Morning Prayer (Wk4/2021)

Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God who created Heaven and Earth. The God who hovered over the face of the waters, before anything was brought into being, with His breath. My God!

Today I honour You because of the blessings flowing my way. I will be blessed in the morning and blessed in the evening. I will be blessed in my coming in and going out. I will be blessed as I rest, work and play. I thank You for keeping me through another period of 24 hours and for the possibilities to be put in front of me again. Thank You for being a God of a second chance! Today, El Elyon, I come against any plan of the enemy. I come against anything that is brought to my mind from the past or in front of me right now. With Your Mighty Hand I will be lifted up and not cast down; You Word tells me I shall live and not die; my future is one of hope and not destruction. El Elyon, I ask You to keep me focused on High. Whatever or whoever tries to manipulate me and turn my focus from You, by turning me left or to the right, I pray that by the Name of Your Son Yeshua HaMashiach, I will be focused on the narrow path that is before me. If I remain on the narrow path, there is no room for me to falter. If I remain on the narrow path and at Your pace, I cannot move away from where You are leading me. I thank You that Your ears are not deaf to my voice and Your eyes not blind to what I face. I trust in You. Thank You, my lover; my Friend; my Father; my King, my God and my All.

And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you, And I will curse (that is, subject to My wrath and judgment) the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you. And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”
Genesis 12:3 (AMP)

And Melchizedek blessed Abram and said, “Blessed (joyful, favored) be Abram by God Most High, Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed, praised, and glorified be God Most High, Who has given your enemies into your hand.” And Abram gave him a tenth of all (the treasure he had taken in battle).

Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things (centre your mind on them, and implant them in your heart).
Philippians 4:8 (AMP)

Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

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.

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).

Psalm 37:23 (AMP)

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.

“…Through your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have heard and obeyed My voice.”
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.
