New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Fortunate In God‘

Those who mourn are fortunate! for they shall be comforted. The meek and lowly are fortunate! for the whole wide world belongs to them. (Matthew 5:4-5 TLB)

                                                            Prayer

O my precious God, You shall comfort me. When I am meek and lowly I am fortunate! for the whole wide world belongs to me. You understand my grief and sorrows and You understand me. When my heart was breaking You came and You comforted me. I know My Father, sorrows are only temporary – it does not control my heart. I express my heartaches  and sorrows to My Father and Christ, and they will comfort me through the Holy Spirit of God, and through His supernatural power. It is great and He is the One who helps me to overcome all things great and small. 
It is time for me to draw near to God, and He will draw nearer to me. I shall pray continuously. I will listen with my heart for His comforting assurances. The eternal things of my life are as present today as they were the day I came into His kingdom. All other things, even people’s loves on earth, are only temporary. But my comfort and hope, my joy and my life with God are eternal. Because He lives, I shall live also. I press in to know Him more. As I get to know Him more, my love for Him will chase away even my greatest sorrows, You have promised this to me through Jesus Christ my precious Lord, and I am so grateful and thankful for everything You do for me. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Changing Faith‘

But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 TLB)

                                                                  Prayer

Father, I am to be perfect, even as my Father in heaven is perfect. When I was born again, I was born into a whole new way of life, through Jesus Christ. At first, I continued to act in many ways I acted before my new birth. I am sorry for this. 
I do not want to have the wrong kind of behaviour pattern any longer. I have accepted Jesus Christ, as my personal Saviour and Lord. It is now time for me to change and to grow up. I do not want to live in the old ways of life any longer. I relinquish my old nature and old behaviour patterns to You – when people offended me, and when I offended them. When people said unkind things about me, and I said unkind things about them. I loved people who loved me, but was hateful and unkind towards those who were hateful towards me. 
My great desire is to become more mature and complete in my faith in God. I want to be able to do things in the way that God wants me to. I ask Him to enable me with His love and power in loving His people no matter what they may do towards me. Holy Spirit, help me to forgive these people as my Father, has forgiven me through Jesus Christ. 
I make the decision today, to  bless those people who persecute me. I ask for His changing faith, to change my attitudes, characteristics, nature and behaviour pattern’s that are wrong. Let me do as He does. Then I shall be complete and mature, just as my Father is through Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Worshiping God‘

“The time is coming, ma’am, when we will no longer be concerned about whether to worship the Father here or in Jerusalem. For it’s not where we worship that counts, but how we worship—is our worship spiritual and real? Do we have the Holy Spirit’s help? For God is Spirit, and we must have his help to worship as we should. The Father wants this kind of worship from us. But you Samaritans know so little about him, worshiping blindly, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes to the world through the Jews.” 
(John 4:21-24 TLB)

                                                                 Prayer

My precious God, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. The Father wants this kind of worship from me. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.
Father, I receive Your comfort daily, because I pray to You every day of the week. You have a wonderful plan for my life, and an important part of that plan includes the time I set aside for praise and worship. Every life, including mine, includes some form of worship. The question is not whether I will worship, but what I worship. I choose to worship God through Jesus Christ, my Lord, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. 
I will reap a bountiful harvest of joy, peace, and abundant blessing. I worship God with a sincere heart with praise, thanksgiving, adoration, and love, today and every day. I have His name written upon my heart, mind, body, spirit, and soul – I can rest assured that my name is written on His heart forever and always in Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘God’s Chosen One‘

“You didn’t choose me! I chose you! I appointed you to go and produce lovely fruit always, so that no matter what you ask for from the Father, using my name, he will give it to you.
(John 15:16 TLB)

                                                                   Prayer

Father, You chose me and appointed me to go and produce lovely fruit always, so that no matter what I ask for from the Father, using Jesus Christ’s name, He will give it to me. 
You have chosen me to speak out to the nations of Your people with the Gospel of Christ, through my testimony and witness. Lord, I go out in faith, believing You will lead and guide me to the people You want me to meet. I walk by faith and not by sight. I pray You would empower and equip me with the supernatural power of Your Spirit in wisdom and truth. As He has converted me and chosen me to be a disciple, I also pray that the message I bring to the people, will be the true message of Jesus Christ. You transformed me into the image of Christ, by the washing of His Word in my body, soul, spirit, and mind. He has chosen me with an eternal purpose in mind: to bear much fruit that will continue to glorify my Heavenly Father. The fruit I am talking about is a life of faith and obedience – a life that glorifies God with the right attitudes, words, and deeds that flow naturally out of a transformed heart. Jesus is the Vine, and I am a branch. A branch doesn't struggle to bear fruit. It simply remains in the Vine and allows the life-giving sap to flow through it to produce fruit. I will constantly meditate upon His Words, and the Holy Spirit will produce His fruit within me. I shall listen to His prompting today. I shall let Him bear fruit in my life moment by moment. Then the world will see I am a true follow of Christ as I abide in Him, and He is abiding within me; and I will bring great glory to our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ, precious name. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Spiritual Poverty‘

“Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing. (John 15:5 TLB)

                                                                Prayer

O my precious God, I recognise my spiritual poverty, I know I have to run to the foot of Your cross. I can identify with the man who beat his chest, crying out, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” I have gratefully accepted Your payment for my sins. You, want me to continue to remain poor in spirit. You will only fill empty hands. Every day I shall come to You with my empty hands and open heart. You will fill both with treasures from heaven.
You are the Vine; and I am a branch. Whoever lives in You, You; will live in them and shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from You I can't do a thing. It is good to know I live with God, knowing with certainty He is dwelling and living in me. I bring Him all the praise,  glory, thanksgiving, and adoration and love Him with all my heart, mind, body, spirit, soul,  forever and always through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Living Life Abundantly‘

The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. (John 10:10 TLB)

                                                          Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to praise and thank You for Your protection against the enemy who has tried to steal, kill and destroy me. Your purpose is to give me life in all its fullness, in the fullness of Jesus Christ my precious Lord.
The enemy tries to discourage me and wants to render me useless for the kingdom of God. One way he does this is by trying to turn my attention and desires away from God, towards the things of this world. Satan wants me to focus on what I don't have, what I have lost, or what has been taken away from me. But You are My Great Shepherd, and You came to to give me life, true life, which is abundant and eternal. Jesus, You gave Your life for me on the cross, and You defeated Satan for me and broke his power and authority over me. I must constantly set my heart on God, not on the temporal things of this world (which is Satan’s kingdom), I do not want to voluntarily submit to his rule. This robs me of the joy that is found only when my mind and heart are turned towards You, O God. I will start each day and end each day in Your word, praying, giving thanks, to God, for giving me abundant life and joy through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Relying On God‘

If you will humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, in his good time he will lift you up. Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. (1 Peter 5: 6-7 TLB)

                                                                 Prayer

Lord Jesus, I come before You and humble myself under the mighty hand of God, in Your good time You will lift me up. I give all my worries and cares to You, for You are always thinking about me and watching everything that concerns me. I will not rely upon my own resources or on my family and friends, but only on the promises of my Father in heaven. 
God is my never-ending source of my support and courage for those who call on You. When I am weary, He gives me the strength to carry on. When I see no hope God reminds me of the promises He has promised me. When I grieve, God comforts me. God will hold my hand and walk with me every day of my life I will let Him. So, even when my circumstances are difficult, I trust the Father. His love is eternal, and His goodness endures forever and always in Christ. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘In Christ’

My son, never forget the things I’ve taught you. If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow My instructions. Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart. If you want favour  with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success. Don’t be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. Instead, trust and reverence the Lord, and turn your back on evil; when you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality. (Proverbs 3:1-8 TLB)

                                                                      Prayer 

Father, I will never forget Your instructions and teachings I shall obey them completely. They help me to live a long and prosperous life. I shall never tire of loyalty and kindness they are written upon my heart and mind. You have taught me how to trust You completely and not to rely upon my own judgment. I ask You to lead me in the paths of holiness, godliness, and righteousness obeying Your commandments in everything I do. I don’t ever think I will ever be wise enough, but I do respect the Lord and will stay away from every kind of evil on the earth. This will keep me healthy and strong. I make the choice today, to lean upon, rely upon, and depend upon God for all my needs. 
Jesus, You are the Vine; and I am a branch. Whoever lives in You, shall produce a large crop of fruit. I ask You, to anoint me through the Holy Spirit of God; because apart from You I cannot do a thing. Staying in the centre of Your will is what I desire to do. Please would You clear the road ahead for me enabling me to follow You through the Holy Spirit of God. 
I choose to put God first, to the honour, praise and glory of my Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ my precious Lord, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. He alone will crown my efforts with success. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Publicly Acknowledge, Jesus Christ’

“If anyone publicly acknowledges me as his friend, I will openly acknowledge him as my friend before my Father in heaven. But if anyone publicly denies me, I will openly deny him before my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32-33TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

Precious Father, I have publicly acknowledged You in the assemblies of Your people You are the Lord and Saviour of my spirit, soul, mind, and body, through Jesus Christ my Lord. I am forgiven of all my sins, past, present, and future sins; for I have confessed all of my sins before God. My sins have been crucified with Christ Jesus and I no longer live, but Christ God lives and abides in me. This life that I now live in this body, I live by faith in the Son of God; who loves me and who died for me through Jesus Christ.
He has called me to be an evangelist and prayer warrior to intercede for others. I am His witness, I will tell others all about Him and the truth He has proclaimed to me. I will be open and honest to others about my relationship I have with Him. The closer I get to Him, the more my life will be changed and become a beacon to others. When people ask me why I am so loving and forgiving, so patient and generous, so peaceful in troubled times, I will tell them about the relationship I have with Him. No one can believe in Him until they hear the truth about Him. So,  it's very important that I tell the truth about Jesus Christ, what He has done for me, He also will do for others. 
Today, I pray that the light of my good works will shine out before my family and all who come into my path. I am so grateful and thankful to God for everything He has done for me in the precious name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Bountiful Harvest’

But if you stay in me and obey my commands, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted! My true disciples produce bountiful harvests. This brings great glory to my Father. (John 15:7-8 TLB)

                                                                          Prayer 

Heavenly Father, I ask You to help me to always abide in You and obey Your commandments. I know as long as I am in alignment with the Holy Spirit of God’s will, then my prayer requests will be granted by Him. I desire to be a true disciple of God, producing bountiful harvest that bring honour and glory to my Heavenly Father, through the Precious name of Jesus Christ.
You want to answer my prayer requests, but it is not always in the way I expect You too; because Your plans are better than mine. Many times my prayers go unanswered because I am not abiding in You. I must always dwell in Your words and get them seeped deep into my heart. I shall read them, pray about them, and apply them to my attitudes and behaviour. Then whenever I need a word from You, the Holy Spirit of God will bring Your words to my heart and mind. And when I obey Your word, Your desires will become my desires, and then my prayed desires will be answered. Your love and joy fill my heart, overflowing to those around me. This demonstrates Your love and power to the world, proving that I am Your disciple a disciple of Jesus Christ, Your precious Son. Thank You for making all things possible for me through Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Each Step With Jesus’

The steps of good men are directed by the Lord. He delights in each step they take. 
(Psalm 37:23 TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

Father, You will direct my steps and I will let You do this for me. You delight in each step I take. You are intensely interested in my life. You know I offer sincere heartfelt prayers to You and You will give me direction to the meaning for my life. I humbly seek Your will, and You will touch my heart as You lead me on the path of Your choosing. I will trust You to guide my steps.
I commit and entrust my life to You completely and without any reservation, You will give me the strength to meet any challenge, the courage to face any trial, and the wisdom to live in Your righteousness and to live in Your peace. So, I trust You completely today for   guidance. When I do this, I can take each step with faith and confidence in Jesus Christ. I know a spiritual discipline is necessary in order to move slowly from an absurd to an obedient life, from a life filled with noisy worries to life in which there is some free inner space where I can listen to my God and follow Him, harness myself to Him and follow His guidance in all I do. I acknowledge Him first and foremost before I do anything and wait for Him to show me what to do through supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Harnessed To God’

Come to me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. Wear my yoke—for it fits perfectly—and let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens.(Matthew 11:28-30 NLT)

                                                              Prayer 

Heavenly Father, I come to You first, I want to be harnessed to You in an intimate relationship – I know if I do this You will give me rest. If I wear Your yoke – it will fit perfectly upon me – I will let You teach me through Jesus Christ my Lord, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. 
I am in the Holy Spirit’s school of teaching, and I am willing to learn eagerly from Him what He wants me to know and do. He is gentle and humble, and I find rest for my soul; He only gives me light burdens, He carry’s the load for me. I praise and thank Him with my heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit.
I will listen to God’s words and I will look at His life, there is no other way, but in the way of Jesus Christ. I will find all the answers to all my greatest questions, issues, and problems. Your Word provides the rock-solid foundations for my faith in Christ. When I act upon His words, my faith will grow as never before. You will perform Your Word in my life, and I harness myself to You this is when I do what You say. I receive Your Words into my mind and heart, by keeping Your Words, I will have a greater level of intimacy with You and the Father that will go beyond anything I have ever experienced before. I hold onto Your promise forever and always in Jesus Christ’s precious name. Amen.
