I Have Authority

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Lord, I come to you today as a reminder to myself that I have authority through Jesus Christ. I use Your mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. I destroy every proud obstacle that keeps me from knowing You. I capture my rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

Any negative thoughts or thoughts that are not pleasing to You, O Lord, I cast them out in Jesus’ name. They have no authority over me, but I have authority through Jesus Christ. I am free. I am delivered. I am made whole.

When I feel lost or confused, I will turn to Your Word and gain strength, knowledge and understanding. I will seek deliverance because it is for those who ask and want it.

Talk to God

 

One Conversation with God Makes the Difference!

MY FAITH EXPRESSIONS

“She” could be me. “She” could be you. “She” could be “he”, but at some point, I believe, “she” has been all of us.

SCENARIO:

She is in a room full of people. Everyone is smiling and laughing and seems to truly be enjoying life. She has so much to say, so much to share; but as usual, she feels so alone and believes that no one will ever understand her plight. Life looks good, but on the inside, many a conversation is being had. She tries to reason things out and determine within herself that everything will turn out right because she believes. But what is she believing in? Herself? Her will to hang on and figure everything out on her own or is she believing in the ONLY ONE who has the answers to her very questions and who knows her like no other?

QUESTION:

Who do you turn to when you feel all alone?

Nothing Left or Only the Beginning

 

Continue to know that God is with you. He is your comfort and your peace.

MY FAITH EXPRESSIONS

When the dust had settled, when the test and trial was finally coming to an end, she felt as though she had nothing left to give. She had poured it all on the table and had completely emptied out and given to others so that they may be set free. Being used by God, according to His purpose, she had made it through by His grace. He had carried her and given her strength she did not know she even had or could even possess and utilize in the midst of the storms.

Now that she no longer needed the extra boost, she was left feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by the release that was taking place in her life. She began a period of shutdown. It wasn’t on purpose, mind you, but more of an empty feeling that could not really be described to anyone.

God had did it! He had answered her very heart’s desire. Now what?

Gotta Ask

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Lord, I thank You for another day to come to You in prayer. I come with a spirit of thanksgiving and adoration for You being God and Lord over my life. I seek to humbly come before Your presence each day. Let my prayers be effective and reach Your ear and heart of understanding and when I pray amiss, Lord, guide me into all truth and give me direction for the next steps within my life.   

The One – Higher Than All the Heavens

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Lord, because I have been called by You, I will lead a life worthy of my calling. Teach me to always be humble and gentle. Honor my steps to be patient with others, making allowance for other’s faults because of my love, this Godly love that you have demonstrated towards me. Lord, I desire to make every effort to keep myself united in the Spirit, binding myself together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as I have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

Aim High

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Lord, when I am left with lingering emotions of irritation and disappointment because of how another person chose to interact with me, help me to aim high, looking to Jesus as my example when someone has offended me.

Lord, I want to do all that I can to live in peace with everyone.

Help me to recognize when the intent is not to cause these feelings to emerge within, but that a greater purpose and good is the end result. I mustn’t allow my emotions to control or dictate how I move forward in that connection. I must choose to set my feelings aside and do what is best to allow Your good plan to prevail.

Coming to Know Him

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Lord, by Your divine power, You have given me everything I need for living a godly life. I have received all of this by coming to know You, the one who called me to Yourself by means of Your marvelous glory and excellence. Because of Your glory and excellence, You have given me great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable me to share Your divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

A Balanced Life

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

Lord, as I continue along this journey of faith and dedication to the God of my salvation, I want to live a balanced life. It is my prayer that I may be effective in the things that You have called me to do; therefore, I need Your guidance and presence to be evident at all times, in everything.

Show me what to keep doing and what I must step away from so that my life will be balanced and will operate as a blessing for others.

High Energy Uplifting Prayer to the Lord!

I will clap my hands! I will shout to God with joyful praise! For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth. He subdues the nations before me, putting my enemies beneath my feet. He chose the Promised Land as my inheritance, the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom he loves.

Lord thank You for my personal Promised Land.

Just In the Nick of Time

 

According to God’s perfect timing and expectations for the life that we walk with Him, He is really right on time if we would look through our spiritual lenses of faith and without reservation and fear, believe.

Regaining Myself

 

If I want to remain at the table of God’s blessings that He has prepared for me, then I need to make the necessary adjustments so that I don’t fall back into old emotional patterns.

MY FAITH EXPRESSIONS

God has really been doing some amazing things in my life. Many long-term prayers are being answered and for this I am thankful to the only One who could have brought about the change that was necessary to move my life from being stuck, to the possibility of actually moving forward towards better, more; different from how things have existed. The possibilities are amazing!

What once seemed impossible, is made possible with and because of God!

I had to make it to a point where I said Yes to God. “Here I am at the point of change and deliverance, Lord. Will I stay here or will I trust You to move me forward by means of Your desire for me as You part the Red Sea that sets before me? Will I cross over into the abundance of great things You have already prepared for me as long as I follow Your instructions and plan?”

Yes! Yes, I will!

I Have Something to Look Forward To

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Thank You Lord for peace of mind and the promise that I have something to look forward to. This life is not the end if I will obey Your commands and remain with You. I want to follow closely and hear Your voice. I want to be submissive to Your will and let You be God.

Jesus directed that I not let my heart be troubled. I shall trust in God, and trust also in Jesus. There is more than enough room in Your home, my heavenly Father, for me. If this were not so, Jesus would not have told me, in Your Word, that He was going to prepare a place for me. When everything is ready, He has promised that He will come and get me, so that I will always be with Him where He is. And I know the way to where He is going.

Increase My Hunger

(Intentional Prayer)

Pray the Scriptures – My Prayer:

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Lord, I pray that You and You alone will satisfy the hunger that I have for truth and righteousness. Increase my hunger for the things of God so that I may walk worthy of the calling which You have placed on my life. Feed my soul with good things from Your Word. Send others into my life that will aid in the nourishment of my soul for Christ’s sake. Remove all impurities from my life so that I may be strengthened as I feast on what You provide as my daily portion to sustain me.
