New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House And Meet With Him In Prayer’ – ‘Put God First’

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. 
(Proverbs 3:4-6 TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

O my precious God, if I want favour with You and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then I must trust You completely; I must never trust myself. In everything I do, I must put You first, and You will direct me and crown my efforts with success. I will not do anything in my will or strength, but only in God’s will and strength.
May the God of peace Himself make me entirely pure and devoted to God; and may my spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until that day when my Lord Jesus Christ comes back again. God, You have called me to become Your child, You will do this for me, just as You have promised me. 
Your promise of peace for me will never be broken, says the Lord who has mercy upon me. Listen now! The Lord isn’t too weak to save me. And He isn't getting deaf! He can hear me when I call to Him. God, You will surely do this for me, for You always do just what You say, and You are the One who invited me into this wonderful friendship with Your Son, even Christ my precious Lord. Your arms are wide open to hold me, to encourage me, to bless me, and assure me of my God-kissed future. There is so much I don’t know and so much You want to open up for me. I shall draw closer to God  and He shall draw closer to me in Christ Jesus my Lord.  Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House And Meet With Him In Prayer’ – ‘We Must Obey God’

But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men. And so we are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to all who obey Him.” (Acts 5:29,32 TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

How grateful and thankful I am to You the Almighty God, for Your amazing grace and mercy You have given to me. You have forgiven me all of my sins, giving me the precious gift of life through Your Son the Lord Jesus Christ. 
I will obey Him just as the apostles did. It is this God who has made you and me into faithful Christians and commissioned us as apostles to preach the Good News. He has put His brand upon us – His mark of ownership – and given us His Holy Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee that we belong to Him and as the first instalment of all that He is going to give to us. 
I am also His witnesses and can testify just as the apostles did, that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour the Redeemer  of my soul - and there is no other God besides Him. I  have learned these truths through the Holy Spirit of God, He does not lie but brings life and truth into my heart. He is the One  who enables me to obey Him. 
He has called me to a life of integrity, for it takes integrity to stand in faith when everything looks dark around me. Father, You have helped me overcome all  temptation and You give me the strength and courage I need to overcome those temptations. I will not compromise my faith in God, no matter what I have to face upon this earth. I ask Him to encourage me and grow me in faith, so His name may be magnified and glorified through my testimony and witness that Jesus Christ, is the Lord and Saviour  of my life. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House And Meet With Him In Prayer’ – ‘Boast In God’

Let them boast in this alone: That they truly know Me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way. (Jeremiah 9:24 TLB)

                                                                      Prayer

O my precious God, we will boast in this alone: That we truly know You, and understand that You are the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that You love to be this way with all Your children. 
You allow difficulties within our lives to teach us how to live by faith alone, through Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. He builds us up in confidence, faith, and trust. Bit-by-bit, our confidence begins to grow stronger and deeper as we depend upon His  teachings. The Holy Spirit of God, enables us to lean upon, rely upon and depend upon Him, to meet those needs we have in Jesus Christ our precious Lord.  
We can hear You whisper in our ear’s and hear You calling our names. We can read Your Word, and hear Your perfect promises given to us. You promise that You will never ever leave us or forsake us. 
If we remain in You and Your words remain in us, we can ask You whatever we wish, and it will be done for us through Jesus Christ our precious Lord. He shall keep us close to His heart at all times, for His promises bear fruit eternally. 
Today, we ask You to hold us securely in Your arms. You, Lord shall cause Your majestic voice to be heard and You shall crush down Your mighty arm upon Your enemies with angry indignation. It is good to know that the Lord Jesus is continually on our side forever and always. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House And Meet With Him In Prayer’ – ‘A New Life’

For you have a new life. It was not passed on to you from your parents, for the life they gave you will fade away. This new one will last forever, for it comes from Christ, God’s ever-living Message to me. (1 Peter 1:23 TLB)


                                                                     Prayer

O my precious God, I want to thank and praise You for this new life, You have given to me through Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. This new life will never fade away, but it will last forever. I shall follow after the Holy Spirit, He will lead me to a life and peace, but I do not want to go back to my old nature which will lead me to death. 
It is a risk when you spread your wings before God. I ask Him for a vibrant mind, to expand the pegs of my tents, to reach out toward the unknown deserts of trial and error, chance and uncertainty, require courage to stand in Christ. I shall be strong and brave, for I will successfully lead the people in the way God knows I can lead them with Him being in the centre of my heart. I need only be strong and courageous and to obey the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will make me be successful in everything I do  
The Lord will instruct me and guide me along the best pathway for my life; He will advise me and watch the progress I make. He is a strong fortress. I can run to Him at any time night or day, and He will be their to listen to me and He will keep me safe. I want to live the way that will always please God and honour Him, so that I will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time I am learning to know God better and better.
I shall pray too, that all the people I pray for daily, will be filled with His mighty , glorious strength so that they too can keep going no matter what happens – always full of joy of the Lord, and they will always be thankful to the Father who has made them fit to share all the wonderful things that belong to those who live in the Kingdom of light. I commit and commend this prayer to You, Almighty God in the precious name of 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’ – ‘Joy’s of Life’

You have let me experience the joys of life and the exquisite pleasures of your own eternal presence. (Psalm 16:11 TLB)

                                                                       Prayer

O my precious God, You have let me experience the joys of life and the exquisite pleasures of my own eternal presence. You constantly give to me because You want my joy and gladness to be full, complete, and overflowing within my life. You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as Your guest; blessings overflow upon me. It delights You to tell me of the wonders in store for me when I live vitally united to You, and when Your words live in my thoughts as permanent fixtures. 
He replied, “You are permitted to know some truths about the Kingdom of God that are hidden to those outside the Kingdom; ‘Though they See and Hear, they will not understand or turn to God, or be forgiven for their sins.”’ 
All glory and honour to God forever and ever. He is the King of ages, the unseen One who never dies; He alone is God, and He is full of wisdom. You have loved me even as the Father has loved You. Let me live within Your love, bringing all the honour, praise, and thanksgiving to the Father and His Precious Son, 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’ –‘The Holy Spirit ’

But when the Father sends the Comforter instead of Me – and by the Comforter I mean the Holy Spirit – He will teach you much, as well as remind you of everything I Myself have told you. (John 14:26 TLB)

                                                                    Prayer

O my precious God, thank You for sending the Comforter to me – the Holy Spirit – He teaches me much, and He reminds me of everything Jesus has told me. He satiate’s my body, soul, and spirit right now. He dwells and abides within me, and I dwell and abide within Him. He has lavished and overtaken me with His supreme glory and He permeates every cell within my body.
What does the Lord require of me? He expects me to listen carefully to all He says to me, and to obey everything for my own good; His commandments He is giving me today, and to love Him, and to worship Him with all of my heart, body, mind, spirit, and soul. He loves me and I feel loved. He is giving to me new strategies – and He is updating the old. Thank You Lord, for enlarging my vision into the vision You have predestined for me. 
Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with You forever and ever in  Jesus Christ. He shall bring me home to His eternal Kingdom where I shall dwell and abide in Him forever and always. Amen.
