JESUS ,JESUS, JESUS  

Demons tremble at the sound of that Name. Philippians 2:10 & 11 says it best,”That at the name of JESUS every knee should bow,of things in heaven,and things in earth,and things under the earth,and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God,the Father. So let me hear you holla JESUS,let me hear you scream,JESUS. I CAN’T HEAR YOU.

“For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: “ As I live, says the Lord , Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us shall give account of himself to God”. (Romans 14:9‭-‬12 NKJV).

“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”. (Revelation 5:13 NKJV).

“Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord ? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me. “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath. He shall say, ‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come, And all shall be ashamed Who are incensed against Him. In the Lord all the descendants of Israel Shall be justified, and shall glory.’ ”(Isaiah 45:21‭-‬25 NKJV).

DO YOU WANT GOD’S HELP,OR NOT?

Do you really think you can make it without God ? The truth is,God does  not help those ,who think that they,can help themselves,because  they think  they don’t  need Him.  However ,no matter  what a man thinks  or believe ,we all need God.  

“Woe to those  who  are  wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! (Isaiah 5:21 NKJV).

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord , And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him  with His hand. I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. He  is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore. For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever”.(Psalms 37:23‭-‬29 NKJV).

 “The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord . All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. Commit your works to the Lord , And your thoughts will be established. The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom. Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord ; Though  they  join forces, none will go unpunished. In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the Lord  one departs from evil. When a man’s ways please the Lord , He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice. A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps”. (Proverbs 16:1‭-‬9 NKJV).

“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord ’s counsel—that will stand”. (Proverbs 19:21 NKJV).

“A man’s steps are of the Lord ; How then can a man understand his own way?(Proverbs 20:24 NKJV).

“O Lord , I know the way of man is not in himself; It  is not in man who walks to direct his own steps”.(Jeremiah 10:23 NKJV).

JESUS   SAID, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.  If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you”.(John 15:5‭-‬7 NKJV).

SOLUTION  

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones”. (Proverbs 3:5‭-‬8 NKJV).

EVERLASTING  LIFE

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”(John 3:16‭-‬21 NKJV).

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to  be  compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the  will  of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to  be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can  be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It  is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It  is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.(Romans 8:9‭-‬39 NKJV).

“Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,  as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.  And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent”.(John 17:1‭-‬3 NKJV).

WHY WORRY  WHEN YOU CAN PRAY

Worrying takes your mind off of God,who is the supplier of all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus ,as Philippians 4:19,tells us. That simple means that your Job ,and your boss, are not the supplier of your needs,GOD IS.

Worrying is one of the Devils devices to steal , kill,and destroy your joy,peace,happiness ,and stability , which ultimately takes your mind off of Christ the true supplier of all your needs.

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. (Matthew 6:25‭-‬34 NKJV).

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things”.(Philippians 4:6‭-‬8 NKJV).

“as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”. (2 Peter 1:3‭-‬11 NKJV).

Never let Personal Success,and money means more to you than God.
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
+What does it profit in all that we accomplished without giving glory to God?
+What does it profit in all that we say and do without the love of God?
Ecclesiastes 1:2
Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Colossians 3:23 -24
And whatsoever all of you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord all of you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for all of you serve the Lord Christ.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

ALL IT TAKES IS TRUST

we trust the doctors ,to diagnose  our illness , and trust him to prescribe  the  suitable  medication . But don’t  trust  God to heal us. The medicine  may take a week or  more before we see any results , yet we can’t  wait a day ,or a second , on God to heal us.

We work a week  or more ,trusting  that the  boss, or owner  will pay us,yet we don’t  trust  God,and His word. Then you have the audacity  to question  God,and His plans for us,when you don’t even trust  Him enough  to stand on His word,which is year ,and Amen.

Why is so easy  to  trust people , and hard to trust God? Is it unbelief,lack of faith , or both?

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths”.(Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6).

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God”. (Psalms 20:7 NKJV).

“He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered”. (Proverbs 28:25‭-‬26 NKJV).

You Are More Than A Conqueror +Don’t Give Up! Don’t Quit! And Don’t Stop Trusting In the Lord for Your Victory!
+What is it that you want removed from your life?
+The Apostle Paul was faced with a situation he wanted removed from his life, and in…
2 Corinthians 12:8-10 he prayed…
8 For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.
9 And The Lord said unto me, My GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for you: for My STRENGTH is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me.
10 …for when I am weak, then am I strong.
+God’s WORD for you today is that His GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for you.
Hallelujah!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

A   QUITTER NEVER WIN,AND A WINNER NEVER QUIT

“But David encouraged himself himself in the Lord his God”{ 1Samuel 30:6b}. Like David you have to learn to encourage yourself in the Lord your God. Do not faint, give up or lose heart. Because,your current situation is not your final destination. You may have taken a hit but keep ticking,it’s not over till God says it’s over.

You may be sick but you will get healed.You may be bound but you will be delivered and set free. You have taken a lost but it’s not for nought ;it’s for a greater gain. You may have fallen but you will rise again. So get up and give God the glory and praise,as 1 Corinthians 15:57 says, But Thanks be to God, Who gives us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ.Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

LISTEN:

Never Blame God…
+God is never the cause of anyone’s problems.
+Some people want to do whatever they want to do and when things go wrong they blame God.
+They cry out, God! Why did you let this happened to me!?
Proverb 14:12
There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the WAYS of death.
+But some of us still insist on our own ways.
Proverb 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
+But some of us do not trust In the Lord, and we lean to our own understanding instead of God’s understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your paths.
+But some of us do not acknowledged the Lord with our cares and concerns. How then can He direct our paths?
+Heavenly Father may Your Mercy and Your Grace be upon us today…
+God is never the cause of anyone’s problems, but He has all the solutions to everyone’s problems.
+All we have to do is to obey His Word (Commandments), and follow His instructions.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth as witness this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and CURSING: therefore choose LIFE, that both you and your descendants may live:
+The same choices still stand today. To reject Christ the Savior is to choose DEATH instead of LIFE, and CURSING instead of BLESSING.
Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
John 14:6
Jesus said unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
+When we choose Christ and follow Him. We choose LIFE (Eternal) and BLESSINGS.

REASONABLE  SERVICE TO GOD

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.(Romans 12:1‭-‬2 NKJV). 

THE BLOOD , THE WORD,AND THE FIRE OF THE HOLY  SPIRIT  ,WILL KEEP YOU PURIFIED.

“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:30 NKJV
God doesn’t want you to go through life constantly struggling, always burdened down, or always fighting against something. Yes, we know that trials and tribulations will come in this life. There may be seasons that are more difficult than others; but, we can’t just settle where we are and accept that it’s always going to be this way. Just like God led the Israelites into the Promised Land, He wants to lead you to a good land with no shortage and no lack. He wants to cause you to remain in His provision and blessing.
The key is that when difficulty comes, instead of focusing on where you are, instead of dwelling on how things won’t work, turn your focus toward Him. Lift up your eyes to heaven. Cast your cares on the Lord. Don’t let the heaviness of the world drag you down. Put your faith and hope in Him knowing that He has good things in store for your future.

Never Blame God…
+God is never the cause of anyone’s problems.
+Some people want to do whatever they want to do and when things go wrong they blame God.
+They cry out, God! Why did you let this happened to me!?

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your paths.
+But some of us do not acknowledged the Lord with our cares and concerns. How then can He direct our paths?
+Heavenly Father may Your Mercy and Your Grace be upon us today…

WALKING  IN POWER

  Aren’t  you sick ,and tired  of people dying prematurely  through sickness ,and diseases .  Aren’t you tired of being broke,living from paycheck   to paycheck .  Its time to use your God given power to defeat  sickness , diseases ,poverty , and everything  that exalt  itself against  God’s  word,   and will for your life. YES YOU CAN.  WHY? BECAUSE  JESUS  SAID:

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”(Luke 10:19‭-‬20 NKJV).

“You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will  be  with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”(Psalms 91:13‭-‬16 NKJV).

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”(Mark 16:17‭-‬18 NKJV).

EVIDENCE  OF  A CHILD  OF GOD WALKING,AND LIVING  UNDER THE POWER  OF THE HOLY SPIRIT . 

“But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.” But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god”. (Acts 28:3‭-‬6 NKJV).

“And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit”. (James 5:15‭-‬18 NKJV).

THEREFORE  :

“My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord , Nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in  whom he delights. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor”. (Proverbs 3:1‭-‬16 NKJV).

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”.{Romans 12:1‭-‬2}•
Remember:

Philippians 4:13 says,

You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. 

Hosea 4:6 says  

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

-Through Christ we have been graced with the God given ability,where by we can do all things. Our problem, is that some of us are ignorant of this God given ability in us. 

-When you do what God has placed in your heart ,it will make changes for the better in your life and the lives of others. 

-Follow your heart. God’s way of communicating with us, is Spirit to spirit or Heart to heart. 

Proverb 4:23 says,

Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 

-Do not let anything get between you and God. 

-Anyone or anything that tries to get between you and God is someone or something that is trying to be your God. 

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory.

EFFECTUAL  PRAYERS

“And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”.{James 5:15‭-‬16}•

Four Kinds Of Prayer 🙏🏽

There are many types of prayer. Below are several main categories of prayer. A person may pray one or all of these in a single prayer time, and in any order. You can remember these categories with the acronym ACTS….
(1) Adoration

Prayer, first and foremost, ought to be about worship. God alone is worthy of undiluted praise. That would be true even if God never gave us a thing, and that is why adoration is distinct from thanksgiving. Notice that the Lord’s Prayer 🙏🏽 begins with “ “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be you name”(Matthew 6:9).
Holding up God’s Name for praise for is our prime duty in prayer. Examples : 1 Chronicles 29:10 ; 2 Chronicles 6:26-27; Luke 2:37..
I say let’s BE RELENTLESS in prayer we got work to do in prayer. Teach us to prayer more in adoration keeping us effective in the area of prayer.

The Second Type Of Prayer 🙏🏽

(2) Confession

“Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us” (Read Luke 11:4). Knowing that human sin blocks communication with God, Jesus taught his disciples to pray this way to make sure that there are no stumbling blocks between God and them. Examples: Read
2 Chronicles 7:14; Daniel 9:4-9 ;; 1 John 1:8-9. I say let’s BE RELENTLESS in prayer 🙏🏽. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom Come Thy will Be done ✅, in earth 🌎 as it is in heaven.God help to us to confess all sins and repent daily so we stay in righteousness. Continually pray it’s how we communicate with God.

The Third Type Of Prayer 🙏🏽

(3) Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is praise for something God has done for us or given to us – or for what we trust him to do. The apostle Paul thanked God for the believers in Philippians 1:3-5- “ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Always in every prayer 🙏🏽 of mine for you all making request with joy. For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now. (KJV). Examples: Read Psalm 100:4;107:1;118:21; Matthew 14:19; Ephesians 1:15-16; 1 Thessalonians 1:2; 5:16-18; 1 Timothy 4:4. I say let’s BE RELENTLESS in prayer 🙏🏽. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom Come Thy will Be done ✅, in earth 🌏 as it is in heaven. ABBA Father help us to be diligently mindful to pray the prayer 🙏🏽 of thanksgiving in all things good and bad. Help us to confess thanksgiving with a spirit of appreciation constantly in Jesus Name we do it to glorify Jesus and God Our Father. Amen

The Fourth Type Of Prayer 🙏🏽
( Also called Petition )

Our Heavenly Father wants his children to bring their requests to him ( Philippians 4:6 ). Jesus taught, Matthew 7:11- “ If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts 🎁 to those who ask him”.
Intercession is a type of supplication where we pray for the needs and concerns of others. And we should not just pray for our friends, but also “ …pray for those who persecute you” as stated according to Matthew 5:44.
Examples : Read Genesis 24:12;
1 Samuel 7:8. I say let’s BE RELENTLESS in prayer 🙏🏽 we got work to do. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom Come Thy will Be done ✅, in earth 🌏 as it is in heaven. ABBA Father we ask that your Holy Spirit Release Revelation knowledge unto us so that we may effectively pray for the needs and concerns of others as well as ourselves. Use us as mighty Intercessors for the Kingdom Of God doing the Work Of The Ministry. Anoint us daily with the refilling your power to do everything from God’s point of view.

The Prayers Of Jesus

REMEMBER  

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you”.(Philippians 4:6‭-‬9 NKJV).

THE WORD IS QUICK,AND POWERFULL


 “What did Jesus mean when He said, ‘Ask and you shall receive’?”
Jesus said, “Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete” in John 16:24. Similar statements are found in Matthew 7:7; 21:22; Mark 11:24; Luke 11:9; and John 15:7. Is this a blanket promise with no conditions? If we ask for three hundred pounds of chocolate delivered to our door, is God obligated to give it to us? Or are Jesus’ words to be understood in light of other revelation?
If we assume that “ask and you will receive” means “ask for anything you want and I’ll give it to you,” then we have turned the Lord into a cosmic genie who serves our every whim. This is the problem of prosperity gospel and word of faith teachings.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says that whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and whoever knocks will find an open door (Matthew 7:7–8). But with this and all other verses we must examine the context. Jesus goes on to say that God will not fail to give His children good things (verse 11). So, this is one condition to the promise of “ask and receive”: what we ask for must be good in God’s estimation. God will give advantageous gifts to His children; He will not give us bad or injurious things, no matter how much we clamor for them. The best example of a good gift is the Holy Spirit, according to Luke 11:13. We begin to see a two-fold purpose of prayer—to increase our understanding of what God calls “good” and to cultivate a desire in us for what is good.
Our prayers to God are not unlike our requests of men. Our prayers are based in a relationship, as Jesus points out in Matthew 7:8. If a child asks his father for something the father knows to be hurtful, the request is denied. The child may be frustrated and unhappy when he doesn’t get what he asked for, but he should trust his father. Conversely, when the child asks for something that the father knows is beneficial, the father will provide it eagerly because he loves his child.
We have another condition to the promise of “ask and receive” in John 14:14, “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” Here, Jesus does not promise His disciples anything and everything they want; rather, He instructs them to ask “in my name.” To pray in Jesus’ name is to pray on the basis of Jesus’ authority, but it also involves praying according to the will of God, for the will of God is what Jesus always did (John 6:38). This truth is stated explicitly in 1 John 5:14, “If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” Our requests must be congruent with the will of God.
The promise of “ask and receive,” even with its conditions, can never disappoint. There is no chance of things we need not being in God’s will. He promises to supply what we need when we “seek first his kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). Of course, what we want is not always what we need. If what we want is not in God’s will, then we really don’t want to receive it. God knows what is good for us and is faithful and loving to say “no” to selfish and foolish prayers, no matter how much we want what we’re asking for.
God will always give us good things. Our job is to understand what is good, so that we know what to ask for. The natural mind cannot understand this. But, when we offer ourselves as “a living sacrifice” and are transformed by the renewing of our minds, then we “will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:1–2). Then, asking for what we need in faith, we will have all we need for life and godliness and fullness of joy (John 16:24).
The biblical instruction concerning prayer is that we pray for the good things that we truly need, according to the will of God, in the authority of Jesus Christ, persistently (see Luke 18:1), unselfishly (see James 4:3), and in faith (see James 1:6). In Matthew 21:22 Jesus again emphasizes faith: “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Those who truly believe God will witness the amazing, infinite power of God. However, comparing Scripture with Scripture, we know that the asking must be done within the will of God. Part of having faith is acceding to God’s plan as best. If we ask for healing, and that is the best thing for us, we should not doubt that God will heal us. If He does not heal, then not being healed is a necessary part of a larger plan—one that is ultimately for our good.
Consider Psalm 37:4: “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” This verse does not give us a way to manipulate God; nor does it mean that, if we obey, He will reward us with whatever treat we crave. Rather, it means that, when we delight ourselves in God, then we will find everything we want and need in Him. The key here is that the heart of the seeker is changed—when we delight in the Lord, God’s desires begin to become our own. When our desires match God’s, then our prayers are automatically aligned with His will.
Among the most important prayers in the life of a Christian are “Teach me to love you above all else” and “Cause me to want what you want.” When we truly desire God, when we are passionate to see His will accomplished in this world, and when we ask for what brings Him glory, He is eager to give us anything we ask for. Sometimes the things that glorify God are pleasant—a marriage or a child. Sometimes they are difficult for us—a failure that humbles us or a physical weakness that makes us more dependent upon God (see 2 Corinthians 12:7). But, when we pray within His will, in the authority of Jesus, persistently, unselfishly, and in faith, we will receive what we need.(written  by Mike Bryant).
