Scriptures on Praise Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. (1 Chronicles 29:11-13) I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. (Psalms 7:17) Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Key Scriptures On Worship and Praise

The following scriptures are from the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible. The Bible is overflowing with passages of worship and praise. This is but a sampling, however, Psalms 92, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, and 145-150 focus on worship and praise. Psalms 95:1-3 "O Come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods" O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker" (Ps. 95:6). "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God" (Ps. 50:23). Psalms. 96:1-4KJV "O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods"

"Because thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name" (Ps. 63). "This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise" (Is. 43:21). "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23-24). "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord" (Ps. 150:6). "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;" (Eph. 5:18-20). "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name" (Heb. 13:15). "I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies" (2 Sam. 22:4). "I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth" (Ps. 34:1).

"This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise" (Is. 43:21). Scriptures related to music: 1 Chr. 16:42; Neh. 12:36; Eccl. 2:8; 1 Sam. 18:6; Dan. 3:10, 3:15, 6:18 Scriptures related to Dance: Ex. 15:20; 1 Sam. 21:11, 29:5; 1 Chr. 15:29; Ps. 149:3, 150:4; Eccl. 3:4; Luke 15:25 If youve ever said to yourself, I dont even have time to think, then you know how hard it is to concentrate when youre being bombarded from all sides. Its even harder to focus on God when we cant take time to renew our minds and refresh our spirits by quiet reflection. God doesnt often shout to get our attention. Instead, He usually speaks to us in a still small voice (1 Kings 19:12, NKJV). So, what can we do to put ourselves in a position to hear Gods voice? We have to make time in our daily lives to get quiet. David said of the Lord in Psalm 23:2, He leads me beside quiet waters. Today I want to encourage you to find those quiet waters where you can get alone with the Lord. It may be a room in your house, outside under the trees, or some other place where you can shut out the noise and distractions of the world for just a few precious minutes. The key to renewing your mind, body and spirit is to develop the habit and discipline of meditating on the Word of God every day even if it is for just a moment. To meditate simply means to reflect on the same thing over and over again, visualize it and let the meaning of it sink deep down into your heart. Meditation is a spiritual practice thats encouraged throughout Scripture. The key is to draw on Gods wisdom found in the Scriptures. In fact, the Bible is filled with the blessings and benefits of meditating on its principles. I have four of these benefits that I want to share with you today: 1. Meditating on Gods Word will give you spiritual success.

God told Joshua, Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed (Joshua 1:8, NLT). Gods definition of success in life is to know Him better. One way we do that is to read and understand His Word! 2. Meditating on Gods Word will help you keep your heart right before Him. The word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12, NIV). We need to evaluate our thoughts, deeds and motives each day, confessing any wrong attitudes or actions (1 John 1:9). The Bible gives us clear direction on how to live. It is a mirror that accurately shows us where our hearts really are. 3. Meditating on Gods Word will give you insights and wisdom that will guide you at every turn in your life. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes (Psalm 119:99, NIV). There is supernatural wisdom that comes from meditating on Gods Word. It will strengthen you, guide you and give you hope and victory in every situation! 4. Meditating on Scripture will help you fill your mind with the things of God. Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about (Philippians 4:8, TLB). Since we can only think about one thing at a time, meditating on Gods love and goodness leaves no room for wrong thinking.

Do you believe this?" Read John 11 John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Read John 14 1 John 5:20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true--even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Read 1 John 5 Family Bible Verses Exodus 20:12

To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today. Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.

Read Deuteronomy 10 | View in parallel | Compare Translations Deuteronomy 11:13-22 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul-- then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.

We pray for guidance in the matters at hand and ask that you would clearly show us how to conduct our work with a spirit of joy and enthusiasm. Give us the desire to find ways to excel in our work. Help us to work together and encourage each other to excellence. We ask that we would challenge each other to reach higher and farther to be the best we can be. We ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen Closing Prayer Heavenly Father as we come to the end of our time together we thank you for what has been accomplished here today. May the matters discussed serve as a catalyst to move us forward and cause us to advance and see growth in all areas of our lives. May we leave here recognizing You are the God of all wisdom and You are willing to lead us forward. This we pray in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen Praying With Confidence Father, teach us to pray with confidence. To abide in Jesus, to ask, to believe You will answer our prayers and to be ready to receive Your answers. Amen. Abide Abiding is the key to successful praying. In John 15:7, Jesus states, If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will and it shall be done for you. Colossians 3:16 says,

Let the Word of Christ richly dwell within you. Abiding means you want to stay as close to Christ as possible. Ask Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:7-8, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened. We can ask God for anything and He listens - He will answer. Ask specifically! Someone has said when we get to heaven well find a lot of unopened gift packages with our name on them because we did not claim them through prayer. Believe In Matthew 21:22 we read, Everything you ask in prayer, believing you shall receive. Faith, which is an attitude of believing, pleases God. With Him, all things are possible. Remind yourself of this verse when you pray. Receive If you are abiding in Christ and you have asked and believe, get ready to receive the answer. In other words, when you pray for rain, carry an umbrella. John 16:24 says, Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. Remember these four words to pray with confidence: abide, ask believe receive Father, teach us to pray with confidence. To abide in Jesus, to ask, to believe You will answer our prayers and to be ready to receive Your answers. Amen. What Should be Included in Prayer? Father, I am awed by fact that among the six billion people on earth, I am heard by You, and You actually delight in my prayers. Thank You so much. Teach us how to pray. Amen. When I was just getting excited about prayer, I would mainly ask God for things. I later learned that while asking is to be part of our relationship with Him, there are other elements of prayer that, as we grow in our relationship with the Lord we will want to begin including as well. The Westminster Catechism asks the question, What is the chief end of man (kind)? and answers, To glorify God and enjoy Him forever. So often I have treated God like an answer-to-prayer-dispenser rather than a Person with whom I have an enjoyable love relationship.

Although communion with God is all about our hearts attitude, the following are four aspects of prayer that make for a healthy conversation with God. Adoration To show adoration to God is to worship, praise, honor and exalt Him. In other words, respect Him, be in awe of Him, and say wonderful things about Him. Psalm 103 and 145 are good examples of adoring the Lord. Confession When we begin to acknowledge how great, perfect and awesome our God is, we cant help but recognize our weaknesses and sins. Admitting and confessing our sins (1 John 1:9) and knowing He has forgiven our past, present and future sin is vital to our prayer life. God is a Holy God, so we need to come to Him with a clean heart. He would not have listened if I had not confessed my sins (Psalm 66:18). Thanksgiving Giving thanks expresses our faith, and it is faith that pleases God. In Hebrews 11:6 we read, And without faith it is impossible to please God. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 states, In all things give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ concerning you. We dont necessarily give thanks for the difficult circumstances, but give thanks for His total provision during good - and painful ones. Supplication Asking seems to come naturally to children. As Gods children, we can freely talk to Him and ask Him for anything. And like any caring parent, He will say, Yes to some of our requests, No some of the time and at times, He will say, Wait. You can remember this outline for prayer through the acronym ACTS - Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. Each component is a necessary for an effective prayer life. There are also many other aspects of prayer, which I may write about another day, but if you are new to praying, I encourage you to begin practicing these four elements when you pray. Father, I am awed by fact that among the six billion people on earth, I am heard by You, and You actually delight in my prayers. Thank You so much. Teach us how to pray. Amen. There are certain requirements we must fulfill in order to know God will listen to our prayers. We must belong to God. There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5. Because Jesus is the mediator between us and God, we must give Him our total allegiance. Before I yielded the control of my life to Jesus Christ, I would pray, but was never sure if God was listening or would answer. After I asked Him to be the Lord of my life, I had confidence that God was hearing and answering my prayers. We must pray to God the Father in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. Only the name of Jesus Christ gives us credibility with the Father. Not our education, our wealth or poverty, our church, our background or position . . . only Jesus Christ. Jesus said, If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:14 Sometimes, I use my husbands name, or my church, or my work to gain credibility with people. But only Jesus name gives us credibility with the Father. We must have a clean heart. Psalm 66:18 says, If I had known of any sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.

It is very important to keep a clean heart before God. Someone said, I fess them as I does them, I dont bunch them. Dont wait until you go to church, or a crisis arises in your life to confess your sins to God. As soon as you become aware of an attitude or action that is displeasing to God, admit that it is wrong and thank God for His forgiveness. For additional reading on this subject, go to: "Spiritual Oxygen" http://www.thoughts-about-god.com/meditating/sw_oxygen.htm 1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We must have a forgiving spirit. In Mark 11:25, Jesus says, Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven my forgive your transgressions. This verse, Jesus makes it very clear that we cant carry anger, hatred or bitterness in our hearts toward anyone if we expect God to forgive us and/or hear our prayers. We must pray in faith Jesus said in Matthew 21:22, And everything you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. The very fact that you are asking God for your needs, demonstrates your faith. There are many times when God has answered my prayer as soon as I prayed. Other times I have had to wait for them to be answered. Some of the requests have been on my prayer list for years and I am still waiting. But I know that God will answer. Father God, thank you that you delight to communicate with us. Cause us to fulfill Your requirementsthen we will know that You will hear an answer our prayers. Amen Note: Some of the content is taken from How to Pray. a booklet written by the late Dr. Bill Bright. A Prayer for Protection Lord God, Thank you for all the positive influencers in my life today. Thank you for everyone who has ever prayed for me And for anyone who will pray for me in the future. Thanks especially for the people of strong faith that you have placed in my path and the positive impact they have had on my character. Insulate me from experiences that compromise my full potential. Move me away from distractions, diversions, and temptations. Keep my thoughts fixed instead on what is true, pure, excellent and worthy of praise. I know that nothing guards my heart more than being in your will. Protect me, Father, from any person or relationship that would slowly prod me down the wrong path. Cause me to become hypersensitive to the people in my life and the sometimes subtle influence they are having on my spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical habits. Bring wise, genuine friends into my life, and dissolve any ties with those who may weaken my relationship with you. In Jesus name, Amen Be for Me the Way

Lord Jesus, be for me the way to Abba, Father. Be for me all my truth and all my life. Lead me into the crucified life, which is the real life, the eternal. Lead me away from every lesser thing. By Your love, renew my inner being so that I can receive Your love, and know it truly, and be Your love to others.

Empower me with your Holy Spirit to give up all the little things that distract my allegiance to you and interfere with you being the Supreme and Sovereign God in my day-to-day life. In Jesus name. Amen. A Prayer of Confession Forgive us, Lord . . . for the things we have done that make us feel uncomfortable in Your presence. All the front that we polish so carefully for men to see does not deceive You. For you know every thought that has left its shadow on our memory. You have marked every motive that curdled something sweet within us. We acknowledge--with bitterness and true repentance--that cross and selfish thoughts have entered our minds; we acknowledge that we have permitted our minds to wander through unclean and forbidden ways; we have toyed with that which we knew was not for us; we have desired that which we should not have. We acknowledge that often we have deceived ourselves where our plain duty lay. We confess before You that our ears are often deaf to the whisper of Thy call, our eyes often blind to the signs of your guidance, Make us willing to be changed, even though it requires surgery of the soul and the therapy of discipline. Make our hearts warm and soft, that we may receive now the blessing of Your forgiveness, the benediction of Your "Depart in peace . . and sin no more." Amen -Peter Marshall How to remain guilt free. A Prayer for When You Need Wisdom and Direction Father God, there are so many decisions to make and I dont seem to know what is the best for now or for the future. You said if we lack wisdom, all we need to do is ask you. I really need you to pour wisdom into my mind today. Thank you! A Prayer for Success

Help them to work hard and be successful. Enable them to be generous to those who are less fortunate. Give them hearts full of love and compassion.

Remember how much God Loves You A Prayer for a Dream Father, Once I had such big dreams, so much anticipation of the future. Now no shimmering horizon beckons me: my days are lack-luster I see so little of lasting value in the daily round. Where is your plan for my life? You have told us that without vision, we perish. So, Father in heaven, knowing that I can ask You to deposit in my mind and heart that particular dream, the special vision You have for my life. And along with the dream, will You give me whatever graces, patience, and stamina it takes to see the dream through to fruition? I sense that may involve adventures I have not bargained for. But I want to trust You enough to follow even if you lead along new paths. I admit to liking some of my ruts. But I know that habit patterns that seem cozy nests from the inside, from Your vantage point may be prison cells. Lord, if you break down any prisons of mine before I can see the stars and catch the vision, then, Lord, begin the process now. In joyous expectation. Amen. -by Catherine Marshall A Prayer for Conflict Resolution Dear God, when your son Jesus died and rose from the dead, He broke down walls of hostility.

Ezek. 36:9 I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown, Dan. 1:9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and sympathy to Daniel, Dan. 7:22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom. Dan. 9:13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. Dan. 9:17 "Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Dan. 11:30 Ships of the western coastlands will oppose him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant. Hos. 12:4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there Luke 1:25 "The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people." Luke 1:30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Luke 4:19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." John 5:32 There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid. Acts 7:46 who enjoyed God's favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. 2Cor. 6:2 For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

"For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield" (Ps. 5:12 NKJV). Prosperity I confess boldly that it is Your will that I prosper. It says in Your Word that You delight Yourself in the prosperity of Your servant. [Ps 35:27] You said in Your Word that You pray above all things that I prosper and be in good health even as my soul prospers. I believe that Jesus Christ, who was rich, was made poor for me that I through His poverty may be made rich. [2 Cor 8:9, 3 Jn 2]

Lord, I meditate upon Your Word. I delight in Your Word and I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water. My leaf does not fade. I bring forth fruit in its season. I boldly declare that I prosper. I am not defeated, but I am prospering and victorious. I am prospering in my mind, in my body, in my spirit, and in my finances. I am prospering in my marriage (my relationships, both past and present), and in every area of my life. Whatever I do prospers.
I have given and it is given unto me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. I have an abundant supply. [Luke 6:38] My God does supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. [Phil 4:19] The floodgates of heaven are opened over me and I am receiving a blessing that I cannot contain. [Mal 3:10] I confess that I walk in Gods favor today in all my business dealings and with people. Gods favor rests upon me. [Ps 5:12] I have Gods favor and blessing on me. God favors me today. I am a success today. I have Gods special favor upon me today. He makes His face to shine upon me today. He is gracious to me today. [Luke 2:52, Num 6:25-26] I expect something to happen to me today. God delights in my success and prosperity. [Ps 35:28] With God all things are possible. So I walk today expecting Gods favor and success to be upon me! [Mark 9:23] I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am the head and not the tail, I am above and not beneath. [Deut 28:2-14] Jesus has redeemed me from the curse of lack and poverty and want. I am blessed because of Him! [Gal 3:13] I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed, I AM BLESSED!

Gods favor is bestowed upon those who are in a relationship with Him. Lets face it if it were not for the favor of God you would not make it to heaven. There are some instances when you will need Gods favor and you may need to pray for His favor. There are also Blessing Prayers that can be prayed to release blessings over your life. Some examples where you would need His favor could be: 1. When you are going for a job interview and you are up against other applicants for the same job. 2. You are in a sales position and you have to present yourself so that others can make a decision on whether or not they want to buy your product. The favor of God can open doors for you with others. You can even have favor with unbelievers. Lets use Esther as an example, she was presented with others to the King, an unbeliever, as the future queen and God granted her favor because this was a part of His plans to save the Jews. Esther 2:9 She pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her beauty treatments and special food. He assigned to her seven female attendants selected from the kings palace and moved her and her attendants into the best place in the harem. Esther 2:17 Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. The Lord will grant you favor if what you are requesting is in line with is ultimate purpose for your life.

Favor can also be conditional so you need to make sure that you are confessing your sins and walking in obedience to the Lord. The following scriptures will shows areas where Favor is conditional based on your actions and character: Proverbs 11:1 The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. Proverbs 13:15 Good judgment wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction. Isaiah 66:2 These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word. We cant walk in disobedience to the Lord and then expect Him to roll out the red carpet to us. God will not reward disobedience. Here is a prayer you can use for favor: Lord Jesus, I humble myself before you and I ask the you grant me favor today as I _________ (be specific in naming the place or situation in which you need favor). Open the hearts of those whom I will speak with this day and cause them to receive me positively. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight my Rock and my Redeemer. I pray that what I am requesting favor for is within Your perfect and will for my life. May my prayers open the storehouse of your blessings, In Jesus Name. Amen Here are some other scriptures concerning favor that you can meditate on and also use in your personal prayer time. 1 Samuel 2:26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with people. Psalm 5:12 Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. Psalm 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Psalm 90:17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us yes, establish the work of our hands. Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. Leviticus 26:9 I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you.

The Lord's Prayer Teach us how to pray, the disciples said to Jesus. (Luke 11, 1) He answered by teaching them the prayer we call the Our Father or The Lords Prayer. The Lords Prayer is a basic Christian prayer. As a model of prayer, every Christian learns it by

heart. It appears everywhere in the churchs life: in its liturgy and sacraments, in public and private prayer. It s a prayer Christians treasure. Though we memorize it as a set formula, the Lords Prayer shouldnt be repeated mechanically or without thought. Its purpose is to awaken and stimulate our faith. Through this prayer Jesus invites us to approach God as Father. Indeed, the Lords Prayer has been called a summary of the gospel. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. When Moses approached God on Mount Sinai, he heard a voice saying, Do not come near; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. An infinite chasm separates us from the transcendent God. In the Lords Prayer, Jesus invites us to draw near to God who is beyond human understanding, who dwells in mystery, who is all holy. We can call God our Father. By calling God Father we are more rightly describing ourselves and our relationship with God. Jesus teaches that we have a filial relationship with God; God sees us as if we were a daughter or a son. And we, on our part, can approach God in the familiar confident way a child approaches a loving parent. What is more, we approach God through Gods only Son, Jesus Christ, who unites us to himself . Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Gods kingdom. Jesus often said that Gods power would appear and renew all creation. God like a mighty king would rule over the earth according to a plan that unfolds from the beginning of the world. Gods kingdom would be marked by peace and justice. Good would be rewarded and evil punished. The kingdom, according to Jesus, is not far off, but already present in our midst, though not yet revealed. In the Lords prayer we pray that Gods kingdom come, that Gods will, which is for our good, be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. We are Gods children. What can be more childlike than this petition in which we pray for our daily bread, a word that describes all those physical, human and spiritual gifts we need to live. With the confidence of children we say: Give us this day what we need. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. This petition of the Lords Prayer is a demanding one. Not only do we ask Gods forgiveness for our daily offenses, but we link Gods forgiveness of us with our forgiveness of others. Forgiving others is not always easy to do. We need Gods help to do it. But it must be done or we ourselves cannot receive Gods mercy. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Life is not easy. It is a daily battle. Trials like sickness and failure can crush our spirits. False values and easy promises can entice us and even destroy our souls. And so we ask God to keep us from failing when we are tested, to help us to know the right thing to do, to deliver us from the evil which awaits us in life. The Lords Prayer sums up the teaching of Jesus. It is also a prayer that offers the grace of Jesus: His reverence for God, His childlike confidence in His Father, and His power to go bravely through life no matter what comes. When we pray His prayer, His spirit becomes our own. financial prayer Lord God in heaven I come to you humbly asking you to bless me financially. This is not hard for you to do because the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof. You are Jehovah Jireh the God who provides and I ask you to provide for me and my family and my... The Lord is my strength, my shield. My heart was sure of him, I have been helped and my heart exults, with my song I give him thanks. ~ (Psalms 28:7) But those who hope in Yahweh will renew their strength. They will soar as with eagles wings; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and never tire. ~ (Isaiah 40:31) He is the God who girds me with strength and prepares my ways. ~ (Psalms 18:33) The Lord is my strength, my shield. My heart was sure of him, I have been helped and my heart exults, with my song I give him thanks. ~ (Psalms 28:7) Are you in this situation? Are you feeling disheartened, weak, helpless, and in turmoil? You will never find strength apart from its real Source. Strength and comfort are in Him alone. God is now calling on you to turn over all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7) If you have received Gods invitation for salvation, He is indwelling in you. All the power and glory of God is locked inside your flesh, in your spirit when you opened your heart to Jesus, His Son. God can and will re-energize, revitalize, rehabilitate, and revive your tired body, restless soul, and weary spirit. If you are now ready for God to do just that, follow this on how to pray Heavenly Father, I am now here distraught and utterly hopeless. I confess all my sins to You, heal my spirit, soul, and body. I commit to completely turn away from a lifestyle of sin and allow You to have full control of my life. I have been so tired and heavily laden, please give me rest. I resign from running the affairs of my life and let You reign in all aspects. Remove all the worries, anxieties, fears, and trepidations in my mind, will, emotions, and heart. Lift off all the shock, fear, trauma, terror, grief, pain, and shame off my spirit. I pray for divine order in my entire being and everything concerning me my family, studies, career, ministry, relationships, finances, plans, desires, and dreams. I want Your best for my life. I desire Your perfect will in all areas of my life, not Your permissive will. Teach me to depend solely on You for strength, not on people or things. Strengthen also my inner man and spirit to withstand all the temptations

of the wicked one. I bless You Lord at all times. Your praise will always be in my mouth. I ask for the joy of the Lord to be my strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) Let there be light in my life. I believe that You hear this prayer for healing. In Jesus precious name. Amen. Pray for Protection and Against Fear The most important thing to remember is that God answers prayers according to His word. Praying for protection is easy once you know what scriptures to pray and where to find them. You also need to identify the root of the problem. Why are you in need of protection? Is it that you are afraid of something or someone? Are you in need of protection from a spiritual attack? Is it that you are in need of protection to keep you safe from unemployment? Finding out the source will help you to determine what you need to pray. Usually we seek a hedge of protection when there is fear, a lack of feeling secure or intimidation. The following scriptures will help you to identify the root and you will see which bible verses you need to pray. Remember, God honors his word. So, all you need to do is pray the scriptures as they appear.

Psalms 91:1,2, 10,11,12 ~ He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God in Him will I trust. There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. Psalms 121:8 ~ The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

Proverbs 3:26 ~ For the Lord shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken. Proverbs 18:10 ~ The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe. Isaiah 41:10 ~ Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes I will help you; yes I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness. Isaiah 43:1,2,3 ~ But now says the Lord that created you, 0 Jacob, and He that formed you 0 Israel. Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned: neither shall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you. Isaiah 54:17 ~ No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn.

Hebrew 13:5b,6 ~ For He has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me. Heavenly Father, I (we) ask You to place a hedge of protection around me (us). It hides me (us) from the enemy, familiar spirits, any and all demon spirits, making it difficult, if not impossible for them to effectively track or trace me in the realm of the spirit. There shall be no perforations or penetrations to these hedges of protection according to your word in Psalm 91. I(we) know that You will answer this prayer because I (we) love You and I(we) trust in Your name only. I pray that Your blood Lord Jesus will cover me(us) and all that You have given me(us). That the enemy will not have access to what has been given to me(us).Thank you for your divine protection in Jesus Name, Amen. Exodus 12:13 (New Living Translation) But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt. Zechariah 2:5 (New Living Translation) Then I, myself, will be a protective wall of fire around Jerusalem, says the Lord. And I will be the glory inside the city! Job 1:7-10 (New Living Translation) Where have you come from? the Lord asked Satan. Satan answered the Lord, I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything thats going on. Then the Lord asked Satan, Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blamelessa man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil. Satan replied to the Lord, Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! Prayer for Finances Lord God in heaven I come to you humbly asking you to bless me financially. This is not hard for you to do because the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof. You are Jehovah Jireh the God who provides and I ask you to provide for me and my family and my friends. We are in need of your help. Lord I ask you to show me the areas in my life where I may not have been a good steward of Your money and I ask that you would bring conviction into my heart by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Show me the areas where I need to improve how I handle your money so that I may honor You by using what You give me in a manner that pleases You. I pray Lord that when I receive this financial blessings that you will send me in the next few days, I will tithe to the ministry that you will call to my mind the amount which You will put in my heart. Lord I know that You are able to supply my needs according to your glorious riches

in Christ Jesus. I know that you are the God who gives me the ability to create wealth and I make a covenant with you today that when you send me this financial blessing I will praise you for it no matter how small it may be and I will continue to serve you with a grateful heart. Lord I ask that you would cause me to have an undivided heart and mind towards you. No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. I know that I cannot serve both You God and Money(Luke 16:13). Forgive me if I have misplaced my worship and my focus. Bless me this day with the blessing that you gave our forefather Abraham. Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain (1Chronicles 4:10). In Jesus Name. AMEN. Prayer for those struggling with Anger Lord Jesus I truly regret my sin of anger, I (we) come to You in humility and lowliness of mind. I (we) acknowledge my(our) sin of anger and I (we) repent, I (we) turn from that way to walk in Your chosen paths of Righteousness. I (we) ask You to forgive me(us) and cleanse me(us) of all unrighteousness, pride, self-centeredness, hate, rage, bitterness, resentment, strife, contention, taking offense, giving offense, misplaced hostility, indifference and all forms of anger in my(our) life(lives). Lord Jesus, Your Word says that Your anointing destroys all yokes of bondage (Isaiah 10:27) so I (we) ask You now to cause Your anointing to break and destroy any yokes and strongholds of pride, self-centeredness, hate, rage, bitterness, resentment, strife, contention, taking offense, giving offense, misplaced hostility, indifference, and all forms of anger in my (our) life(lives) along with all of their works, roots, fruits, tentacles and links that are in my (our) life (lives), the lives of anyone that I (we) have prayed for today according to John 14:14, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! I (we) ask You Lord to force out all spirits of pride, self-centeredness, hate, rage, bitterness, resentment, strife, contention, taking offense, giving offense, misplaced hostility, indifference, control, and anger from me(us), and any replacements of evil spirits trying to come back from the Abyss, bound till they are judged and thrown into the Lake of Fire. Lord Jesus fill me in all these areas that were set free with Your Love and Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name, Amen A Christian Prayer for Confession God is close to those whose hearts are willing to turn back from sin and run to Him. He never gets tired forgiving His beloved and giving them another chance a clean slate to begin once more. A Prayer of Confession is an essential part of getting your prayer answered. (Psalms 66:18-20) If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me. Here is how to pray to God. Let me pray for you now

Our Abba Father, I pray for anyone reading this that you meet him or her at their deepest need. May Your Holy Spirit continue to minister to him and convict him of things that have been holding him back and drew him away from You. Go deeper, our God and search his mind, heart, spirit and his entire being for all traces of sin. Do a mighty cleansing over him right now. You said in Your Word, that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) Uproot those things that are unlike you God and do an overhaulspirit, soul, and body. Cleanse his mind and eyes from any images and his ears from any ungodly sounds. May the Living Water wash away all the filth, uncleanness, and any perturbations in his soul. Affirm him of his identity in Christ and who You are in his life. Make him open to the work of the Cross, of Jesus sacrifice to save him from sin, sickness, and hell. Nourish him with the Word of God and give him a hunger for You, Your presence and Your Word. Cancel all the effects of his sins upon his life and his destiny. Thank You, Father God for this opportunity to pray with and for him. Seal everything that You have done today in his life. This we pray, in Jesus name. Amen.

Bible Verses and Prayer for Businesses We would like to submit the following scriptures to you for meditation, followed by a prayer for your business. The Lord will show you a way out of your current situation and make all of this work out for your good. Deuteronomy 8:18 (NLT) ~ Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath. We would also suggest that you make some time to fast through this process so that you can clearly hear what the Lord has to say to you on this matter. (Matthew 17:21) Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. The following scriptures are related to honesty & how you treat your employees. As you fast and meditate through these you may discover some areas where you need to repent & make things right. We know that God does not reward disobedience so these scriptures will help to guide you in the right direction Proverbs 24:3-4 Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Leviticus 19:13 You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning. Deuteronomy 25:13-15 You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a large and a small. You shall not have in

your house differing measures, a large and a small.

Job 31:13-14 If I have despised the claim of my male or female slaves when they filed a complaint against me, what then could I do when God arises? And when He calls me to account, what will I answer Him? Psalm 112:5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. Proverbs 10:4 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 11:1 A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is His delight. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, but the one who gathers by labor increases it. Proverbs 16:8 Better is a little with righteousness than great income with injustice. Proverbs 22:16 He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. Jeremiah 22:13 Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness and his upper rooms without justice, who uses his neighbors services without pay and does not give him his wages. Malachi 3:5 Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the alien and

do not fear Me, says the LORD of hosts. Luke 16:10 He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Ephesians 6:9 And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him. Colossians 4:1 Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven. 1 Timothy 5:18 For the Scripture says, Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain, and The worker deserves his wages. James 5:4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. These scriptures address the subject of Greed Ecclesiastes 5:10 Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 1 Timothy 6:7-10 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Hebrews 13:5

Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have. James 4:1-3 What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. These are scriptures related to Debt Management Proverbs 22:26-27 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you. Ecclesiastes 5:5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. Here is what the bible has to say about get rich quick schemes: Proverbs 12:11 He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues worthless things lacks sense. Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. Proverbs 14:15 The naive believes everything, but the sensible man considers his steps. Proverbs 19:2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps errs. Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty. These scriptures are concerning paying your Taxes: Matthew 22:21 They said to Him, Caesars. Then He said to them, Then render to Caesar the things that are

Caesars; and to God the things that are Gods. Romans 13:7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. And lastly, these are the scriptures related to tithing. Many people believe that Tithing to the local church is an old testament principle that is no longer valid today. However, it is important to remember that if we dont give to Gods work then the Kingdom cannot grow and reach lost souls. Your local church has to pay their rent and utility bills. It is our responsibility to support our local church and other evangelistic ministries financially. Proverbs 3:9-10 Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Malachi 3:8-10 Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, How have we robbed You? In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows? After youve meditated on these scriptures you can pray the following prayer and wait for the Lord to direct your steps regarding your business. Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus and I ask that you would forgive me of the sin of ____________________. I know that all of my sins are forgiven and washed away by the blood of Jesus and I receive your forgiveness in these matters (1John 1:9). You say I am to come boldly before your throne to receive mercy and grace in my time of need and I am in deep need at this time (Hebrew 4:16) I ask now that you will reveal to me all the things that I need to do to make some thing right regarding this business which youve given me (wait for a few seconds in silence and God will show you what you need to make right, write them down so that you dont forget). Thank you for the employees that youve given me and I pray that you will continue to provide for them through me. Lord I lift up this business to you and I dedicate it to you to be used for Your glory. I ask that you bless it financially and show me how to be a good steward with what youve already given me and will continue to give me (Matthew 13:12). I pray that now you will release to me action steps that I need to take to get this business on track to prosper this year. I am remembering Lord that you are the one who gives me the power to be successful. Your word in Joshua 1:8 says that if I meditate upon your word day and night and do not depart from it You will make my way prosperous and successful. I thank you for this truth and I thank you for the scriptures that you will use to impart wisdom and understanding. I move forward by faith in honesty being fair and balanced in all of the business affairs because I know honesty and righteousness brings you glory and sets me apart

from other businesses (Proverbs 16:11). Lord I pray you grant me and my employees favor to get new customers and that all the bills from this business will be paid according to the glorious riches in Christ Jesus. I pray for your divine provisions and a miraculous financial breakthrough in Jesus name, Amen. Prophetic Words and Blessing Prayer 2012 Blessing Prayer Day 1 Praying for Release from the This is Day 1 of the prayer to receive revelation from the Lord and direction for your life in the coming year. To begin this process we will start with a prayer to release you from the past and prepare you for the future. God has so much in store for you. 1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written:What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love Him His plans for you are good plans to prosper you and give you hope and a future. A lot of times we are unable to move forward and reach our fullest potential in the Lord because we have the chains of our past binding our ankles together and we harbor unforgiveness towards others and ourselves. Read these scriptures and see what the Lord has to say about forgiving others. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Heavenly Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-15. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Matthew 6:9-13 Matthew 5:23, 24 tells us that when we come and bring our gifts before the Lord, and there we remember that we have something against our brother, we should first go and be reconciled with him and then return and offer our gifts. Then we have clean hearts. If the Lord forgives us of our sins, then we should also forgive others if we are looking for His blessings to flow unhindered in our life. If the Lord forgives us then we should then forgive ourselves. There is no need to walk around carrying guilt and condemnation about our past when Christ Himself has already released us from that burden. Let it go. Romans 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. The following prayer is a prayer of forgiveness and repentance. If you would like to go much deeper with your confession of sins, here is a list that will help you uncover sins that may be hidden

Heavenly Father, I come to You now in the Name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. I forgive ___(say the names of all the persons you need to forgive) for anything that they have ever done or said to me and my family, I bless them in Your Name of Jesus and I ask You to forgive me for holding on to this sin for so long. I ask that you give me the grace to move on from this with a spiritual release that only you can give. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Here is the prayer to forgive yourself: Heavenly Father, I come to you asking you to forgive me for holding on to the sin that you have already forgiven. I pray you remove this guilt, shame and condemnation that is within my heart and mind concerning ______. I no longer want to carry that burden as your word in 1 Peter 5:7 says that I should cast my cares on You because you care of me. I also know based on 1 John 1:9 that You are faithful and just and will cleanse me from all my unrighteousness if I confess this sin to You. Lord, I release myself now from these sins as a sign of receiving your forgiveness. I bind up all demonic powers that would come to bring these accusing thoughts into my mind and I cast them into the abyss in Jesus Name. Lord I also ask that you would show me the people or places where I need to disassociate myself so that this not return to me. I trust in your cleansing blood Jesus to free my mind and my heart and know that it is indeed finished, In Jesus Name. Amen. Spend today reflecting on the scriptures that you read here and meditating on Jesus forgiveness of your sins. There are times when want to forgive someone and it is very difficult and every time we think we have forgiven them everything comes back to us, in these times since we are willing and we are using our will to forgive we need to ask the Lord to forgive them through us. It is an activation of the Holy Spirit within you that works through you to forgive them. We are such flawed beings that sometimes forgiveness can only come if God will do it through us. If you choose, with your will to forgive, then you can ask the Lord to do the forgiveness through you because you are not able to do this in your own flesh. This will work every time. Try it and you will see. Blessing Prayer Day 2 Prayer to Remove Curses

Proverbs 18:21 (The Message) Words kill, words give life; theyre either poison or fruityou choose.
This is Day 2 of our prayer series from Prophetic Words 2011. If you prayed the Prayer for Release from the Past and meditated on the scriptures regarding forgiveness you are ready to continue with the prayers for Day 2. Many times Christians will pray prayers that are soulish or completely inspired by their flesh and not God. Do you know that there could be curses pronounced over you by other wellmeaning Christians? They decide to pray a prayer that they think is the will of God except it was inspired by demons or their own flesh. The enemy can give false dreams that Christians would believe to be from the Lord and begin praying into them. When this occurs demons are actually activated to answer those prayers.

Imagine that these prayers were all being prayed over one person while the person in turn was praying to seek direction and guidance from the Lord. This would create quite a battle in the spiritual realm hindering the answered prayer for that one person and also possibly causing them to be confused or make the wrong decisions should the demon get to them with an answer before the Lords angels got there. As a biblical example read Daniel 9. To summarize, Daniel is praying and while he is yet speaking with the Lord the angel Gabriel is dispatched and by his side answering the prayer. Move over to Daniel 10 and you will notice that his prayers, even though he added fasting, were not answered until 3 weeks later. Why? Opposition and warfare between Gods angels and demonic powers. Daniel 10:2-3 At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over. Here is what the angel said when he finally showed up Daniel 10:11-14 He said, Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you. And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling. Then he continued, Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come. Not only was the angel detained but he had to get help from the archangel Michael before he could get to Daniel with the answer. You could be waiting for the Lord to give you His Prophetic Word for 2011 on your life and you are unable to receive that because there is a war in the heavenly realm because of soulish prayers that have been prayed over you as well as soulish prayers that you may have prayed on yourself. You can only receive what God has planned for you when you let go of your past, unforgiveness, your own desires, wants and wishes. You have to be completely opened to His plan and pray for a clear mind from your desires in order to receive the Lords direction for you. Breaking these soulish prayers and curses will enable you to hear and receive with clarity. You also have to come to the realization that you may also have prayed soulish prayers over others and for that you need to repent. Your repentance will release you to receive the Lords blessings and also break the curse that you may have put over other Christians. Dont be so quick to coming into agreement with others on prayers unless it is explicity outlined in the word of God as His will. The word of God says that it is not good for a man to be alone (Genesis 2:18) but it does not say that Polly Sue should marry John Brown. We can pray for others to be married but to tie them to one particular person would not be wise. This would be an example of praying soulish prayers because of our own desires. Pray the Lords will be done if you are uncertain. Here is the prayer to break word curses you have spoken over yourself and others and also to break word curses spoken over you.

Heavenly Father, I repent of the word curses I have spoken over myself and over _____ (0thers, my child, my finances, my health, my mind, my spouse, my relationship to You). Please forgive me for speaking these word curses and destroy them in Jesus Name. Do not allow them to come to fruition and deactivate any demonic assignments which may have been released because of them. I pray by the power and conviction of your Holy Spirit that if ever I attempt to pray any prayers outside of Your will to the destruction of myself, my family and others that you bring this prayer to mind and cause my mouth not to utter these curses. I am standing on your Word that You would give me the Keys to the Kingdom, that whatsoever I would bind on earth would be bound in heaven and whatsoever I would loose on earth would be loosed in heaven. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I bind up all demonic and soulish prayers that have been prayed over me and my family and cast them into the lake of fire. I pray that all of those prayers shall come to naught. I pray you bring revelation to anyone praying these prayers that they would stop, repent and turn to you for guidance and direction. I freely forgive them and pray that You, Lord, will forgive them also. I loose Your perfect will and answered prayers into my life. I loose your revelations, plans and purpose to flow freely into my life unhindered in 2011. I pray that my mind is clear, my heart is open and ready to receive Your truth and that no weapons that are ever formed against me shall prosper. Now that these curses are broken, I am trusting in You Lord to release everything to me that was held up by soulish prayers and diabolical spirits, In Jesus Name, Amen. Blessing Prayer -Day 3 Praying for Divine Health, Physical and Spiritual Fitness Today we are going to focus on Divine Health, Physical and Spiritual Fitness. When the Lord directs you in His plans for 2011, it would be very difficult for you to carry it out if you are not healthy. Healthy covers Physically, Emotionally & Spiritually. Skinny does not mean healthy, it just means skinny. Can you run up a flight of steps without being out of breath to the point where you need to sit down before you go any further? Unless you are elderly and your joints and legs can no longer do this, then there is a physical problem that needs to be addressed. There are also some that may be seen as on the heavy side that can run up stairs quite easily and so your size, while it is important, is not necessarily an indication of your fitness level. You need exercise to be fit. Prayer is a good way to start but we have to take responsibility for the things that we alone can do. Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Strength refers to your physical body in this verse. This means that what you eat, what you do with your body and how you take care of your body is an act of worship to God. It is one of the ways you show God that you love Him. Your heart is the center of who you are and your belief system and is sometimes interchanged in the bible with your mind. In order to love God you will have to be in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

If you dont have a personal relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ then you dont have access to His divine health, physical & spiritual fitness. Get familiar with the Gospel of Jesus Christ before you finish reading this page. Our soul is where our emotions live. This is the place where we heal our emotions and woundedness. Job 7:11 Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Psalm 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. Psalm 43:5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Your woundedness is within your soul. You may know some who say Brokeness and wear it as a badge in some churches, well this is good if you are talking about your spirit which is prideful being broken so that you are humbled before the Lord. However, it should never mean that your soul is broken forever. Jesus found you in one condition but you shouldnt remain that way. We should always be humble but we shouldnt walk around with so much hurt and pain from the past that we fall apart at the slightest thing. Reading the word of God, praying and spending time meditating on scripture should heal all the wounds of bitterness, envy, jealousy, hurt, pain, rejection and insecurity. Psalm 103:1-5 Praise the LORD, my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. Romans 12: 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will ishis good, pleasing and perfect will. The Word says that our minds should be renewed by the Word of God and this is how we will get to know what He has in store for us in 2011. This is how you get your Prophetic Word for 2011 meditating upon the word of God and allowing it to renew your mind, healing your mind, soul and body. It is critical that we are able to know and discern the difference between brokenness (being humble) and woundedness (afflictions in your soul from your past). It will be very difficult for you to move forward in life if you filter every message/prophecy/instruction/direction from others through your woundedness. If you do that you will be offended at just about everything that anyone can say to you because you use your pain as a filter. You will also receive every message incorrectly because you are not viewing or hearing anything as a whole person. Read what the following scriptures have to say about being made whole.

Proverbs 17:22 (KJV) A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones. Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.And the woman was made whole from that hour. Matthew 12:13 Then saith He to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth;and it was restored whole, like as the other. Matthew 14:36 And besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her,O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Matthew 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. JESUS CHRIST is in the business of healing people and making them whole and not breaking them. You come to Him with your brokenness and woundedness and He makes you whole. Your wholeness is not for you to be prideful and boastful but for you to reach others for His glory and to build His Kingdom. How can you reach others if you are a mess unhealthy, poverty stricken, bitter, jealous, always unhappy and never smilinghow is this going to reach people for Christ? You were made in His image therefore you are moving from glory to glory and should continue to always move into a direction of wholeness. It is time for you to be made whole in Christ. Today we want to pray for your complete healing spiritually, physically & emotionally so that you will be able to receive the fullness of your blessing for 2011. You can pray all or some of these prayers depending on where you need to be healed. The first prayer is for Spiritual Healing: Lord Jesus, I want to become a follower of Yours. I come to You acknowledging that I am a sinner. I know that I cannot make myself acceptable to God through my own efforts. I believe You went to the cross to be judged in my place. I trust You to save me from the judgment I deserve. I trust You to give me a new life. I believe that you are the only one who can give me eternal life and true communion with God. Give me the free gift of Your Holy Spirit so that I may live a life that honors you. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your love. Give me the strength and wisdom I need to learn Your ways so that I might follow You as my Lord. In Jesus Name. Amen. The Second Prayer is for Emotional Healing: Heavenly Father, I come to you today asking you to heal me in my mind, body and soul.

Remove all the emotional wounds that I received from my childhood, my parents, past relationships and friendships. Take away the anger, hurt, pain, jealousy, envy, grudges, strife, rejection, resentment, and bitterness. Father, You are the One Who binds up and heals the broken-hearted. I receive Your anointing that breaks and destroys every yoke of bondage. I receive emotional healing by faith according to Your Word, Isaiah 53:5, and with His stripes we are healed. I thank You for giving me the grace to stand firm until the process is complete. In the Name of Jesus, I choose to forgive those who have wronged me. I choose to live a life of forgiveness because You have forgiven me. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I get rid of` all resentments, bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. I desire to be kind and passionate to others, forgiving them, just as in Christ, You forgave me. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy, for I know that without holiness, no one will see You. I chose to see to it that I do not miss Your grace and that no roots of resentment or bitterness grow up within me to cause trouble. I will watch and pray that I will not enter into temptation or cause others to stumble. Thank You, Heavenly Father, that You watch over Your Word to perform it and that whom the Son has set free is free indeed. I declare that I have overcome resentment and bitterness by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the word of my testimony. I pray that my mind be renewed by your word and healing would flow into my soul, that the past is the past and today I move forward in freedom to receive complete healing. May I never filter your words through my pain, my all the prophetic revelations flow freely to me unhindered by my past. I receive your emotional healing today, In Jesus Name. Amen. The *third prayer is for Emotional, Mental & Physical healing that may have come upon you from evil spirits: In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the power of Gods Word, and the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, I bind all evil spirits of pride, judgment, rebellion, defiance, unforgiveness, envy, impatience, resentment, vanity, coveting, selfishness, idolatry, haughtiness, mockery, disobedience, arrogance, hypocrisy, denial, disbelief, guilt, shame, confusion, doubt, self-hatred, poor self-image, rejection, persecution, prejudice, possessiveness, anger, hatred, fear, timidity, passivity, control, unbelief, jealousy, division, disunity, distrust, deception, dishonesty, destruction, vengeance, hyperactivity, competitiveness, accusation, torment, procrastination, stubbornness, strife, criticism, manipulation, materialism, betrayal, gossip, greed, poverty, revenge, adultery, divorce, separation, hypochondria, infirmity, brain, eye, ear, nose, nerve, muscle, heart, lung, stomach, intestinal, liver, bone, cell, blood, body chemistry, hormonal disorders or dysfunction, all diseases, cancer, AIDS, Alzheimers, MS, fatigue, anorexia, bulimia, depression, oppression, suicide, schizophrenia, worry, anxiety, sleeplessness, ADD, nervousness, withdrawal, loneliness, isolation, ostracism, any negative spirits, and all addictive spirits of gluttony, perfection, alcoholism, workoholism, busyness, nicotine, spending, shopping, gambling, frenzy, drug abuse, self-abuse, sexual addictions, sexual perversions, seduction, pornography, masturbation, lust, fornication, incest, lesbianism,

I cast them into the lake of fire for complete destruction never to return to me. I loose the love and grace that comes from Christ Jesus. I loose the healing and wholeness that was imparted to me through Jesus death, burial and resurrection. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in His sight my Rock and my Redeemer. I pray right actions and attitudes towards others and newness in my soul, mind, body and spirit in Jesus Name. Amen Here is another prayer for Physical Healing Spend some time today meditating on the scriptures that were shared in this posting. Ask the Lord what steps you need to take to ensure that you will no longer be enslaved to an unhealthy physical & emotional state. Accept responsibility for the things that only you can do like praying about your eating habits and exercise, cultivating healthy relationships and cutting off the ones that continue to enslave you in your past. Do your part. Tomorrow we will continue with Day 4 Praying for Divine Provision and Finances. These prayers are a part of the Prophetic Word 2011 series of prayers. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Blessing Prayer -Day 4 Praying for Divine Provision and Finances Here we are Day 4 of our series on Prophetic Words 2011. If this is your first time reading these prayers, start from the beginning to get the best results. Here is Day 1 Praying for Release from the Past Now that weve let go of the past, confessed our sins, forgiven those who have wronged us, forgiven ourselves for our own mistakes, broken all the curses weve spoken over ourselves and curses spoken by others, prayed for healing of our mind, body, spirit and soul, we are now ready to receive the blessings for the future. Today we are going to focus on the finances. You will never be able to do the work of the Kingdom if you dont have the resources, tools and funds to do it. The first thing you need to recognize is this: Psalm 50:10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine and the gold is mine, declares the LORD Almighty.

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORDs, and all its fullness,The world and those who dwell therein. All the money in the world belongs to the Almighty God and He is the One who made man the steward over it. Therefore, if God wants you to have money, you WILL have money because ultimately He owns it all. He can give you favor, connect you with the right people and pour out the money if He so chooses. Psalm 115:3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. In order for you to receive what He has for you, reach your fullest potential in ministry and be happy serving the Lord you will first need to look at your motive. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself and you need to be very honest with your answers because this will really clarify why the money is not coming in and where you need to change. 1. Why do you want this money? You may say to do the work of the ministry, to take care of my family or to give back to others. You need to get specific on this and pray about your reason so that when the money comes into your hands you already know what the Lord wants you to do with it. 2. If the Lord gave you $5 Million tomorrow morning, what would be the first 3 things you would do/buy with that money? Be Honest with yourself because Jesus already knows what you will do. Think about this carefully and write these 3 things down on a piece of paper. We say one thing with our mouth but in our hearts we desire other things and it is in the heart where we make the decision. Our hearts need to be washed so that we are pure and that all we want to do is worship the Lord with all that we have. Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. There is a possibility that the 3rd thing you wrote on that piece of paper is more important to the Lord than the 1st thing. God is the one who needs to decide where you spend the money. 3. Why do you want to have a bigger ministry? Again, this is our hearts motive. If deep within you you are still trying to convince others that you anointed and chosen by the Lord for ministry then you wont get any bigger and this could be the reason God wont bring you the finances. We should desire to please Him and Him alone. It doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about you as long as you are walking in Gods plan. If you are trying to be Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer or Reinhard Bonnke and this is your reason for getting the finances then you will need to uproot pride from your heart. Bigger ministry syndrome can also be sign that you are trying to compete with others. A competitive spirit is not from the Lord, this is your flesh. Be the best YOU that the Lord created you to be and dont compare yourself to others. James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. We are not all going to be famous evangelists with a global audience so we need to be content with where the Lord would place us to do His work. If you are building His Kingdom you should be happy with the position and status that He is giving to you. This is where you will find greatest joy and fulfillment.

1 Corinthians 12:14-26 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body, it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, I dont need you! And the head cannot say to the feet, I dont need you!On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. You should be happy when others succeed because this is a part of the success of the Body of Christ and you are a part of it. You will need to submit your will and your plans for ministry to Him and ask Him to shape your thinking and hearts desire and to ensure that you are serving where He would like you to serve. Another important point that you need to do is pray earnestly about where the Lord would have you use the finances. There are many ministries out there that need your help and to put money into a ministry that the Lord will not bless is not a good thing. He is the one who will guide you on these decisions. If the Lord gives you money and you start giving it to a Christian ministry or using it in a way that He does not want you to then one of the ways He will let you know that is He will dry up the money. Be Prayerful. Pay attention. Make adjustments if you made a mistake and move to where He shows you.Be Prayerful. Pay attention. Make adjustments if you made a mistake and move to where He shows you.Be Prayerful. Pay attention. Make adjustments if you made a mistake and move to where He shows you.and so on and so forth. Here is a prayer for finances: Lord God in heaven I come to you humbly asking you to bless me financially. This is not hard for you to do because the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof. You are Jehovah Jireh the God who provides and I ask you to provide for me, my family and my the ministry which you have given me. I are in need of your help. Lord I ask you to show me the areas in my life where I may not have been a good steward of Your money and I ask that you would bring conviction into my heart by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Show me the areas where I need to improve how I handle your money so that I may honor You by using what You give me in a manner that pleases You. I pray Lord that when I receive this financial blessings that you will send me in the next few days, I will tithe to the ministry that you will call to my mind the amount which You will put in my heart. Lord I know that You are able to supply my needs according to your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. I know that you are the God who gives me the ability to create wealth Lord I ask that you would cause me to have an undivided heart and mind

towards you. No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. I know that I cannot serve both You, God, and Money(Luke 16:13). Forgive me if I have misplaced my worship and my focus. Purify my motives. Give me a right view of money. Bless me this day with the blessing that you gave our forefather Abraham. Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! (1Chronicles 4:10). In Jesus Name. AMEN.

Blessing Prayer -Day 5 Praying for Divine Relationships and Connections Were on Day 5 of the Prayer Series to receive your Prophetic Word for 2011. Today we will discuss Divine Connections. There isnt one Christian who got to their place of purpose without the help of other Christians and sometimes non believers. Yes, God will sometimes put a non believer in your life to open a door for you. They wont even know why they like you, they just know that they need to help you get somewhere or meet someone. This is the favor of the Lord at work in your life. Gods favor is automatic for all who believe in Jesus Christ as the only way to get to the Father. Genesis 39:4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 1 Samuel 2:26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with people. You wont have to spend alot of times praying for favor because you will only need that when you are vying against others for something. For example, if you are applying for a job and there are other candidates you will need the Favor Prayer or if you are in the business of sales, youll need to pray that before you enter the place of business or speak with a potential customer. Apart from these instances the favor of the Lord is always on you and gets activated in situations when the Lord wants to open a door for you. Have you ever heard people talk about luck or someone being lucky? There is no luck or random events that happen to people. What they have is the Lords blessings and favor on their life. God in addition to having non believers in your life will also put Christians in your life. Having a Divine Connection with a Christian can be more dangerous than having one with a non believer. Why? Because with a Christian you will speak of spiritual things in your life and how the Lord is moving hence revealing the plan of God in your life. You wont be having these kinds of spiritual conversations with a non believer because they wont understand. Therefore, the Christian has a greater potential for hurting you and preventing you from reaching the next level. Why do you think there are so many people who are wounded by the

church? That wound to your soul from the church/another Christian is far greater than a non believer who does not know how to get to the center of who you are. Opening up to a Christian leaves you in a vulnerable position because you bare a part of your soul that you wont to those who dont know the Lord. Does this mean that you shouldnt open up to other Christians? NO. But you should be cautious what you share with other Christians and be prayerful about what you are sharing and with whom you are sharing. Your past shouldnt be shared with everyone, even if they are a Christian. Use wisdom. If youve been hurt by the church or another christian here is a prayer for those wounded in the church. Basically, satan will use the people you shouldnt be connected with to stop you from reaching the full purpose that the Lord has for you. Dont allow it! Do not allow anyone to steal that blessing from you and cause you to lose faith. Knowing when to let go of those in your life that will hinder your progress in the Lords plan is key. Read the story of Abram and Lot in Genesis 13 14. Lot followed Abram everywhere he went but there was a point when two of them had to part ways. Lot was not to be a part of the blessings the Lord had in store for Abraham. No matter what David did or how well he played his harp his relationship with Saul was never going to work out because Saul had an evil spirit around him that wanted to kill David. This story starts at 1 Samuel 16. The Lord then put David in relationship with Jonathan, Sauls son, to save him from the spirit that tried to kill him. In the end Jonathan died. We know about Paul and Silas and so many other pairings in the bible like the bond of the disciples and so on and so forth. You may be in a relationship with some that you need to move away from in order to move into your blessings for this year. God will show you these connections that need to be broken but He wont leave heaven and do it for you. You need to do this yourself. Parting ways with someone doesnt necessarily mean that they are bad people or they carry an evil spirit, it just means that its time for you to move on. They could hinder the new divine connections that God will be bringing to you this year if they have a jealous or envious spirit and put you in a state of confusion when the new path doesnt match with the one youve been walking on. Has the Lord ever revealed plans for your life that were so exciting that you share it with your friends only to realize that those plans never happened. Maybe you are telling it to the wrong people or maybe you are just talking too much. Stop and think about this carefully. What person(s) in your life knows all of those things that the Lord has revealed to you and those things never happened? Now, this year do something different dont talk so much try keeping it between you and God and you may discover the people that do not need to be a part of your future. Do you remember Joseph? He was so excited that he shared Gods plans with his own family

and they tried to kill him. Genesis 37:5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. Dont look back on the things youve lost, look forward. Josephs blessings were not stopped, they just got delayed. Its time for you to move forward. Here is a prayer for Divine Connections: Heavenly Father, I thank you that this day starts a new day for me in the journey towards your blessings in my life for 2011. I ask Lord that all the connections in my life that are not a part of your plans for me would be revealed in your name Jesus. The connections that are evil and toxic, that are not there for good but for harm that will hinder me this year be severed now in Jesus Name. I pray all the connections from family, friendships, business and spiritual connection be only the ones that You will have for me. Reveal to me by the power of your Holy Spirit the ones that I need to to let go of. Give me grace, courage and wisdom to follow through with severing these ties and the words that I will need to speak to these individuals to bring this to a close. I pray that you will open the door for the new divine connections for this year in business, personal, ministry and friendships. You know the people that need to be a part of my life and I pray your favor over me when I meet these individuals. I pray your ministering angels are putting everything and everyone in the place where they need to be to fulfill the plans you have for my life. I am trusting you alone to make these choices for me. You who hold the Key of David that opens doors that no one can shut and close doors that no one can open, I pray you will move on my behalf this day closing the doors that need to be closed and opening the doors that move me into Your purpose and blessing for my life. In Jesus Name. Amen Blessing Prayer -Day 6 Praying for Divine Direction This is Day 6 of our Prophetic Word 2011. We believe that the best way for you to receive this information is to pray and have the Lord Jesus himself reveal what He has in store for you this year. It really doesnt matter what the world says about what will happen this year the Lord is more than able to protect you, provide for you and bring you through any situation regardless of what is happening around you. Just think about the 2 million Israelites that wandered the desert for 40 years they had food, they had water, they never got sick, their clothes or shoes never wore out. That is miraculous because I am sure if anyone attempted to walk around in the desert for 40 years today they probably wouldnt be able to go more than a few days without dying. Deuteronomy 8:4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. We serve a God of the miraculous. A prophecy for 2011 that concerns everyone else could be completely different for you. The Lord Jesus Christ is a God of personal relationship. He wants an individual relationship with you. Therefore, you need to hear from Him what His plans are for your individual life this year.

Weve had a few days of cleansing to start out this process so that on Day 6 you are ready to hear and receive the message from the Lord. The most important thing for you to know is that the Lord desires to prosper you and He has your best interest at heart. God is more than willing to reveal His plan to you. Psalm 138:3 When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me. Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. The key to getting the direction is making time for God and coming before Him with a clean heart. You shouldnt enter into this time of prayer hurried or with a few minutes to spare. You need to at least have 1 hour to spend in the presence of the Lord uninterrupted. If you have more time alone that will be even better. You need to be prepared with your bible, a notebook and pen to write down whatever the Lord is saying to you. 1. To prepare your heart to receive His word you must first come before Him confessing your sins. Here is a list of scriptural sins that you can use during this time. Or, you can ask Him to reveal to you the things that you need to confess and He will reveal them to you. Psalm 66:18-19 If I had cherished sin in my heart,the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. 2. You will then need to get into a place of worship and praising the Lord, you can use any Christian music for this. Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 3. Give thanks to the Lord for everything that He has done for you thus far. Praise and thanksgiving brings you into the presence of the Lord. Confessing your sins removes anything that would stop Him from answering your prayers and removes the barriers that may prevent you from hearing Him. 4. Now it is time for you to ask and receive the instructions because your heart and mind is prepared to receive.

The following prayer is to ask for His Divine Direction and His prophetic word for 2011 for your life. Merciful Father, thank you for forgiving me of my sins and for surrounding me with your love, mercy and grace. Thank you that as a child of God I can enter your throne room with confidence where I can receive all of your blessings (Hebrews 4:16). Thank you that the only mediator that I need to speak with you is Jesus whose shed blood on the cross covered all of my iniquities past, present and future (1 Timothy 2:5). Thank you that I need not be afraid to ask because I know it will be given to me and that when I come to you believing in faith You will indeed answer me (Matthew 21:22). I bind up any evil spiritual activity that may cause me to hear incorrectly and I cast them from my presence into a place where they will stand judgement before the Lord Jesus Christ. I close the ears of the enemy from hearing the plans you have for me. I blind the eyes of the evil ones from seeing it. I loose clarity of mind to receive this message (Matthew 16:19). Cleanse my mind from any preconceived notions or presumptions concerning my future as I want to hear it directly from you. Cause my mind to be opened and my ears to hear what You Holy Spirit is saying. This day I come to seeking direction, revelation and the plans that you have for me in 2011. Lord I need you to show me my future, what do you have in store for me in my relationships, my business life, and the ministry that youve given to me. I say to You speak Lord for your servant is listening and I wait for your instructions. I will write down every impression that you will give me to me now, every scripture that you will bring to my mind and I will trust in Your power to bring them to completion. I pray wisdom and understanding of what you show me so that I may make you delight in me as your servant in Jesus Name. Amen. Now you wait. You write down every impression that will come to your mind and heart, any scriptures that you are given, any visions that you may receive at that moment and after tonight any dreams that you receive. Trust that the Lord will speak to you very clearly through His word. Open your bible and begin reading the scriptures you received from Him. If He did not lead you to any specific scripture just open the bible and read until you get the message. Write down the scriptures in your notebook and what they mean to you. With this information you will be ready for this year. The Lord may give you dreams and you need to write them down. Please be careful when sharing dreams with others. If you dont understand the dreams, pray and ask the Lord to give you the interpretation. If you need an anonymous source for interpretation, please feel free to contact us if you need help interpreting any of them. We are so excited for you. God wants you to be on the right track in 2011 and walking in His will. Trust His message. Blessing Prayer -Day 7 Praying for Determination, Tenacity and Strength If this is your first time finding this information, you may want to go back to Day 1 and follow the process to get the best results. Also, do each prayer on a separate day as this is not something you can work through in one day. There are no quick fixes or fast orders when it

comes to hearing from God and if you skip through any of the process you wont get the desired results as there are certain prayers you have to pray in a specific order. Today we will discuss Determination, Tenacity and Strength. We can lump all of that in to one word - sticktoitiveness or stick-to-it-ive-ness. If you believe you have heard from God and He has planted His prophetic word for you in your heart now is the time to follow through with it. Giving up is not an option. Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Becoming impatient with Gods timing is also not an option. If you think about the fact that Abraham couldnt wait for the Lords promised son, Isaac, and instead slept with his maid which resulted in major consequences for his act of disobedience, this should give you the motivation to wait for the Lords complete fulfillment of the prophetic word He gave you. Reminding yourself of His promise by reading the notes you wrote based on Day 6 will give you a clear picture of the end result. You can continue to pray through the process and ask Him to give you the next step to fulfilling it. If a part of what He told you requires you doing something then you need to follow through with that. Hebrews 10:36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. James 5:11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Jobs perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. You will have to hold on, keep the faith and know that if the Lord spoke that word to you it certainly will come to pass. Here is a prayer for your Determination, Tenacity and Strength Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your promises and I know that You are not a man that You should lie nor the son of a man that You need to repent for what you have told me (Numbers 23:19). I pray a double portion of tenacity, determination, patience and strength to wait for all the things that youve shown me to come to pass. May my waiting be active and not passive so that I may be doing the things that you require of me to bring this prophecy into fulfillment. Impart to me a spirit of joy so that I can always wait with hope and without grumbling. I know that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly more than I could ever ask, think, imagine, dream or hope for (Ephesians 3:20) and I pray that your grace and peace will guard my heart and mind as I wait for your perfect timing, In Jesus Name. Amen

Here are some additional scriptures for you to meditate on. Luke 18:1-8 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, Grant me justice against my adversary.For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, Even though I dont fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she wont eventually come and attack me! And the Lord said, Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? Numbers 23:19 (NLT)God is not a man, so he does not lie.He is not human, so he does not change his mind.Has he ever spoken and failed to act?Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Prayer of Salvation Here is a simple prayer that you can pray to receive Christ as your Savior Lord Jesus, I want to become a follower of Yours. I come to You acknowledging that I am a sinner. I know that I cannot make myself acceptable to God through my own efforts. I believe You went to the cross to be judged in my place. I trust You to save me from the judgment I deserve. I trust You to give me a new life. I believe that You are the only one who can give me eternal life and true communion with God. Give me the free gift of Your Holy Spirit so that I may live a life that honors you. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your love. Give me the strength and wisdom I need to learn Your ways so that I might follow You as my Lord. Guide me to the right church and surround me with other Christians to help me with this new journey, in Your Holy Name Jesus Amen. Praying for Gods Favor Gods favor is bestowed upon those who are in a relationship with Him. Lets face it if it were not for the favor of God you would not make it to heaven. There are some instances when you will need Gods favor and you may need to pray for His favor. There are also Blessing Prayers that can be prayed to release blessings over your life. Some examples where you would need His favor could be: 1. When you are going for a job interview and you are up against other applicants for the same job. 2. You are in a sales position and you have to present yourself so that others can make a decision on whether or not they want to buy your product. The favor of God can open doors for you with others. You can even have favor with unbelievers. Lets use Esther as an example, she was presented with others to the King, an unbeliever, as the future queen and God granted her favor because this was a part of His plans to save the Jews.

Esther 2:9 She pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her beauty treatments and special food. He assigned to her seven female attendants selected from the kings palace and moved her and her attendants into the best place in the harem. Esther 2:17 Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. The Lord will grant you favor if what you are requesting is in line with is ultimate purpose for your life. Favor can also be conditional so you need to make sure that you are confessing your sins and walking in obedience to the Lord. The following scriptures will shows areas where Favor is conditional based on your actions and character: Proverbs 11:1 The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. Proverbs 13:15 Good judgment wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction. Isaiah 66:2 These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word. We cant walk in disobedience to the Lord and then expect Him to roll out the red carpet to us. God will not reward disobedience. Here is a prayer you can use for favor: Lord Jesus, I humble myself before you and I ask the you grant me favor today as I _________ (be specific in naming the place or situation in which you need favor). Open the hearts of those whom I will speak with this day and cause them to receive me positively. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight my Rock and my Redeemer. I pray that what I am requesting favor for is within Your perfect and will for my life. May my prayers open the storehouse of your blessings, In Jesus Name. Amen Here are some other scriptures concerning favor that you can meditate on and also use in your personal prayer time. 1 Samuel 2:26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with people. Psalm 5:12 Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. Psalm 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Psalm 90:17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us yes, establish the work of our hands. Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. Leviticus 26:9 I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. A Prayer for Healing against various diseases and illnesses There are different types of healing mentioned in Bible versesphysical healing, emotional healing and spiritual healing. The Bible has scriptures touching on several aspects of health and healing. There is no formula on how to pray for healing but the bible does offer several scriptures that you can pray verbatim as prayers for healing. We just need to learn what the Bible has to say about healing and pray the scriptures for healing. The following prayer is for physical healing against sickness and diseases. Prior to praying the prayer try to read and meditate on these scriptures below. They will help to build your faith. James 5:13-15 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Isaiah 40:31 Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Jeremiah 30:17 I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares. 3 John 1:2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. Psalm 107:19-20 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. Psalm 103:1-5Praise the LORD, my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul,and forget not all his benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and

health to ones whole body. Matthew 8:16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to youthey are full of the Spirit and life. Luke 17:6 He replied, If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it will obey you. 1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. Mark 11:23-24 Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Here is your Healing Prayer Heavenly Father, I attend to Your Word. I incline my ears to Your sayings. I will not let them depart from my eyes. I keep them in the midst of my heart, for they are life and healing to all my flesh. As You were with Moses, so are You with me. My eyes are not dim; neither is my natural vigor diminished. Blessed are my eyes for they see and my ears for they hear. No evil will befall me , neither shall any plague come near my dwelling. For You have given angels charge over me . They keep me in all ways. In my pathway is life, healing, and health. Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. Therefore I refuse to allow sickness to dominate my body . The life of God flows within me , bringing healing to every fiber of my being. I am redeemed from the curse because Christ became a curse for me as your word says cursed is anyone who hangs upon a tree. The Blood of Jesus covers and protects me. It flows to every cell of my body , restoring life and health. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. I pray for a release the right chemicals and hormones. My body is in perfect chemical balance. My pancreas secretes the proper amount of insulin for life and health. Every cancer (name your illness) and abnormal cell is uprooted from my body now and replaced by cells perfected by the Spirit of God. I believe that by Your stripes Lord Jesus I am healed and will continue to walk by faith and not by sight until I see the salvation of the Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen. A Prayer and Bible Verses for those who are Unemployed Are you currently unemployed and seeking a job? Well, many people are in the same situation as you are and the Bible has many scriptures about this subject. The first thing you must know is that every job that is available belongs to God. He is really the One who will be giving you the job. Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORDs, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in

it; Sometimes the job that you are looking for may not be the one the Lord has in mind for you. Therefore, you need to remain open minded about all the opportunities that come your way and be prayerful about all offers. Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Be sure that whatever job you accept it is one that is legal and honest. If you have questions or suspicions about it then it is probably not a good choice for you. Proverbs 11:1 The LORD detests dishonest scales,but accurate weights find favor with him. The Lords plan is for you to provide for your family so there should be absolutely no question in your mind that it is His will for you to find employment 1 Timothy 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. The Bible also says that if you dont work you dont eat. This should be your go to scripture in your prayer time for employment. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. Here are some other scriptures for you to read and meditate on: Psalm 34:10: The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Psalm 75:6: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. Psalm 113:5,7-8: Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. Phil 4:13,19: I can do all things through Christ which strenghteneth me, But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Proverbs 6:68 Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest. Proverbs 22:7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.

Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. Proverbs 21:20In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established. Psalm 20:4 May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Here is a prayer for you based on the scriptures above. Lord God in heaven I come to you humbly asking you to guide me to employment. This is not hard for you to do because the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof.

We end up in a cycle in our lives because we do not have the information that we need to be free from bondage and traps that the enemy has set for us. Many are trapped in their past and are unable to move on even after coming to know the Lord. Christ died for our sins past, present and future. It is our responsibility to continually seek Him and to do the things that will keep us free from sins of the past.

One such sin is ungodly soul ties. Soul ties can be dangerous to our future. Lets illustrate what we mean by the phrase Soul Ties. A man was created to by joined with one woman. The two shall become one Genesis 2:24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Centuries ago there were no marriage contract, courthouse or judge to perform ceremonies so the act of two become one flesh is that of a sexual relationship. This is in essence what the marriage contract is a sexual relationship. Therefore, everyone that has sex with another individual has joined themself to that person. What happens when there is a divorce and then remarriage? Well, unless the soul tie is cut each of those individuals now enters a new relationship with their soul tied to someone else from the past. This goes on for generations and through several people. There can be no wholeness in your marriage if you are still tied to others through past sexual relationships. This can cause an end to their new marriage. This is just one example of a soul tie. They are not healthy and prevent us from living in the fullness of Christ and having healthy relationships. Soul Ties need to be broken in order for true healing and wholeness to take place. Prayer is a very powerful tool and when said from the heart and with sincerity the Holy Spirit will remove the ties thus freeing the person to be whole in their marriage. Here are other examples of situations that could create bad soul ties: * Sex sin: Sex unites people physically, emotionally and spiritually. If we have sex with people other than our spouse, we create soul ties that cause all kinds of problems (spiritual confusion, emotional confusion, sex addiction, compulsive behaviors, obsession, etc.). * Looking at sex images, memories, objects and fetishes: These activities can establish a soul tie with an evil spirit. An example of this is found in Hosea 4:17 when Ephraim became joined with his idols. A tie may not be established in every instance, but it is certainly possible. Example objects: a favorite porn depiction, a garment worn by a former lover, pictures of former lovers, a cherished sexual memory. * Sexual abuse/molestation: This can result in soul ties between the perpetrator and the victim. If you have been involved in sexual abuse, please seek healing prayer and Christian counsel as you proceed in your journey to freedom. * Unhealthy relationships: Examples include relationships characterized by manipulation, guilt, emotional abuse, co-dependency, unnatural affection, envy and/or lust. You may not have had all of these things happen to you but if you have at least had one of these items happen in your life you may need to pray this prayer. Here is a prayer for cutting soul ties: Father God, I thank you for saving me from destruction. I praise you for sending Jesus to die for my sins. Please forgive me for my sins against you. Specifically, I confess that I ______________(details of the sin & names). I repent of that sin and renounce it now. Lord,

please purify my heart from this sin, the memory of it and any associated fantasy I have entertained in my mind regarding it. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of his blood shed on the cross, I cut myself free from any soul ties that may have been established with _______ (name (s) or specific objects). I commit him/her/them to the care of Jesus Christ for him to do with as he wills. Satan, I rebuke you in all your works and ways. I rebuke any evil spirits that have a foothold in me. In the name of Jesus, I command you evil spirits to leave me and go directly to Jesus Christ. Father, please heal my soul of any wounds resulting from these soul ties. Please reintegrate any part of me that may have been detained through this/these soul ties and restore me to wholeness. I also ask that you will reintegrate any part of the person(s) I sinned with that has been detained in me, and restore them to wholeness. Thank you, Lord, for your healing power and your perfect love for me. May I glorify you with my life from this point forward. In Jesus name, Amen. Prayer for those who are wounded by the church Abba, sometimes you call us to walk through very difficult circumstances just as You asked of Jesus. Though sweating drops of blood which was proof of His distress, He did it! And, thank you that He did. We greatly rejoice, though now for a little while we may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that our faithof greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by firemay be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though we have not seen Christ, we love Him; and even though we do not see Him now, we believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for we are receiving the goal of our faith, the salvation of our souls. Lord, I give you my brothers & sisters who have been wounded and I ask you to heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds. I know Father that there are many who want to come back to you and dont know how. Just as you walked through a shut door TWICE with your disciples to show them that you were in fact alive and able, walk through the shut door of their hearts. Heal them in the places that they dont even know needs to be healed. Those places that are hidden behind shut doors. Perform a miracle for them this day. Turn their hearts back to You and lead them to a church where they will be loved. Feed them, by Your word, in the way that they need to be ministered to as this point in their journey. Give them a zeal for prayer and for your Word. I pray for a heart of forgiveness. Lord, release the GRACE to forgive because at times it is only by your grace that we are able to do some things. I pray the God of all grace, who called my brothers & sisters to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after they have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle them. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. I love you. More importantly, God loves you. Peace be with you. Prayer To Find A Church Lord God, I know how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity. That you want me to be a part of Your body for it was You who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare Gods people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then I will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of

men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, I will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Christ the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. We recognize that we cannot truly do Your work without Your body. I pray that you will lead me by your Holy Spirit to find the home of Your choosing. That I will not rest until I have found the place you have ordained for me. Asking, Seeking and Knocking until Your peace would encompass my hearts when they have found it. In Jesus Name Amen.

A Prayer to Start Your Work Week O Lord, Whose power is infinite and wisdom infallible, order things that they may neither hinder, nor discourage me, nor prove obstacles to the progress of Thy cause. Stand between me and all strife, that no evil befall, no sin corrupt my gifts, zeal, attainments. May I follow duty and not any foolish device of my own. Permit me not to labour at work which Thou wilt not bless, that I may serve thee without disgrace or debt. Let me dwell in Thy most secret place under thy shadow, where is safe impenetrable protection from the arrow that flieth by day, the pestilence that walketh in darkness, the strife of tongues, the malice of ill-will, the hurt of unkind talk, the snares of company, the perils of youth, the temptations of middle life, the moumings of old age, the fear of death. I am entirely dependent upon Thee for support, counsel, consolation. Uphold me by Thy free Spirit, and may I not think it enough to be preserved from falling, but may I always go forward, always abounding in the work Thou givest me to do. Strengthen me by Thy Spirit in my inner self for every purpose of my Christian life. All my jewels I give to the shadow of the safety that is in Theemy name anew in Christ, my body, soul, talents, character, my success, wife/husband, children, friends, work, my present, my future, my end. Take them, they are Thine, and I am thine, now and for ever. In Jesus Name, Amen Prayer for Wisdom James 1:5 (New International Version) If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Please send your holy angels to fill my home and minister to me especially as I read Your Word. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Prayer for Protection Father God, I ask that You will send Your warrior angels out to drive back the enemies of Christ that are working in this situation. Your Word says that the adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; from heaven He will thunder against them. Lord, I pray that you would break your enemies in pieces in Your perfect timing, and bring salvation, restoration and healing to all people who are involved. (Based on 1 Samuel 2:10) To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. Keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed for I put my trust in You. In Jesus Christ, Amen (based on Psalm 25:1-2, 19-20 NKJV) Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Also draw out the spear and stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am your salvation. Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my life; let those be turned back and brought to confusion who plot my hurt. Let them be like chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord pursue them. In Jesus Christ, Amen (based on Psalm 35:16 NKJV) Lord God, I ask you to move against the forces of evil. I invite You to act in Your mighty power in this situation. Throw the enemy forces into confusion and frustrate their counsel. I pray that they will not prosper in all their schemes of rebellion against You and Your people. I pray that the financial support of these evildoers will erode away as long as they do evil in Your sight. I pray that You will turn their hearts to Yourself and draw them unto Your salvation in Jesus Christ.

Heavenly Father, I ask that you would unmask the enemys deception over these people who are rebelling against you in doing this evil. Lord God, please stretch out Your mighty hand against their schemes and thwart their every move. Please draw each of them to salvation in Jesus Christ. Lord God almighty, You are the Lord of hosts, the Commander of the armies of heaven, the Most High God. I pray that you will thunder from heaven against the forces of darkness that are working in this situation. Lord, may you utter Your voice, sending hailstones and coals of fire into the enemys camp. Lord, send out Your arrows and scatter the foe with lightnings in abundance. Vanquish Your enemies, O God and rebuke them with the blast of Your holy breath. To You alone be all glory, honor and praise forever. In Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

Praying for a Husband The following prayer and scriptures are for the single Christian women who may be searching for a Prayer for a Husband from God.

Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God does not plan to abandon us, but to give us the future we hope for. Gods love surpasses knowledge and we could only imagine (Ephesians 3:19). The Bible also commands us that we should bring everything in prayer and supplication. To pray for a husband, if it is the desire of a womans heart, is therefore very biblical for God has commanded us to pray for our every need and desire. It is also right to expect God to lovingly answer our prayer with something that reflects His exceeding goodness! Without faith, it is impossible to please God! However, it is also true that praying for a husband can become very challenging when we are asked by God to wait for the answer indefinitely. But one thing is sure, His promise in His Word is true He always provides for our every need, even the grace to wait for His perfect time. Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Luke 12:24 (NASB) Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! Psalm 103:1,5 (NASB) Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Ephesians 3:17-19 (NASB) that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Jeremiah 29:11 (The Message) I know what Im doing. I have it all planned outplans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Psalm 37:4 (NASB) Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. If we will choose to delight in God (Psalm 37:4) and trust Him with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5 ff.), He will lead us to His perfect will, which is good beyond our imagination. There are many single women I know who are joyful and fulfilled despite the yet unanswered prayer for a husband. I also know of women, who have prayed and received a wonderful answer, now being married. I believe that both these groups of women are successful in their prayers because they learned to trust and depend on God to be their source of joy and strength. But what if our godly mate is already ready for us and waiting but it is you who are not yet ready for him? Another element is that we should also pray for God to prepare us to be a godly wife. Lastly, because each of us is unique, our prayers should definitely be marked by unique requests based on our desires and even calling or purpose in life. A missionary friend of mine,

for example, is asking God for someone with a similar passion for missions. Thus, our prayers for a husband may vary but it will be good to keep in mind that they should be faith-filled prayers based on Gods Word, and honest, heartfelt prayers that are expressions of our trust and intimacy with our Heavenly Father. Abba Father, I thank You that you love me and that You have an awesome plan for my life! You have plans to give me the future that I hope for. As I lift up to you my desire for a godly spouse, continue to conform the desires of my heart to Your hearts desires. Cause me to delight in You more than any other thing. Prepare me also to be the godly wife, that I will be a rare jewel of a blessing to my future mate. Raise me up to be a Proverbs 31 woman who lives in the fear of You (Proverbs 31:30). Preserve me for my future mate and guard my heart. (Song of Solomon 2:7, 8:9) I thank You God that even as You are preparing me, You are also raising up for me a man who loves Jesus with all his heart, mind, soul and strength a man after Your very heart (Matthew 22:37). Raise him up in Your Word, let him be meditating on Your precepts day and night, and bring him success in all he does (Psalm 1, Joshua 1). Bless him and fill him with the knowledge of Your love (Philippians 1:9) and Holy Spirit. May he always about in joy and in the fruits of the Spirit (Romans 15:13). Keep his eyes and his ways pure. I pray that he will make a covenant to guard his eyes and heart (Job 31:1)! I also pray that he will be a man who is able to lead in righteousness, justice and love (Psalm 45). Raise him up to be a godly husband and father. Thank You Lord that You know me well and You know how to pick the best mate for me. I trust in Your perfect will and I pray that I will recognize it in the right time. You make everything beautiful in Your time! In Jesus name I pray, Amen. We know that the Lord will answer your prayers for a husband because He says he who finds a wife finds a good thing! Be blessed and stay patient. If you are looking for other prayers, we have many on this website take a look : Prayers Prayer for Hope Hope prayers will definitely revolutionize the way you think, act, and feel. We hope this article and prayer for hope will encourage you and your loved ones in these difficult times that were facing. There are times that we reach the end of our rope in life and we feel burdened with insurmountable trials and challenges and feel like giving up and almost losing hope. Troubles just keep on piling up and our plates are filled with pain, suffering, and desperation. We have heard of so many stories of people who merely lie in bed in resignation and wallow in searing misery and dejection. Are you in this situation? Do you experience unending woes and unanswered prayers? Perhaps, you already have uttered hope prayers and have done everything to survive your situation but deliverance seems to no avail. Your story may be like that of a single mother who is left by her husband when she delivered her baby. She did not finish her education and cannot find any

decent job except beg for help from her relatives and friends. Because of poverty, she and her child developed incurable diseases and medical attention is far from option as she cannot even put enough food on the table every meal. Or your condition is being neglected by your family as a child and you grew up to be a rebellious teenager who is now hooked on street and gang life. You want to break free from it but find no way out. Or you may be wrongfully accused serving time in prison for a violation you are innocent of. You heard of Jesus but cannot seem to feel Him in your heart because of so much unforgiveness and self-pity. You may have been brutally mobbed in the streets and you lost the mobility in your legs and feet because of the harassment. For lifetime, you will be stuck on the wheelchair and you feel you have not done anything wrong to deserve it. Or you may be following and obeying God since you became a believer but you have a depressive past behind you but God has completely set you free and delivered you. But, now you are advancing your age and no man yet can accept you and your past even though you have kept yourself pure in the fear of the Lord all these years. Different people have different situations. For those who are in the dark side of the tunnel, they feel there is no more hope available for them. But, be glad, there is always light at the end of the tunnel! Hope is the thin line between despair/desperation and solution/answer to a problem. It is an intangible expectation that somehow, somewhere, something good will happen if you just keep on hoping. Those who receive answers to their prayers and triumphed over obstacles are those filled with hope. No matter how impossible, difficult, and obstinate the situation becomes, they just carry this small gleam of light of hope in their mind, heart, and spirit. Today, most of our prayer request comprise of people going through financial hardship. Whether it is that they are running their own businesses and have a fear of laying off staff or closing the doors altogether. Or theyve been laid off their job or have the fear that this will happen to them. God is the God of hope. He is the fullest expression of hope and love in this world that is chaotic and filled with disorder and confusion. God the Father sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ not only to bring hope to mankind and the earth but to provide a solution to all our troubles and give us a glorious life in the end. Hallelujah! Here are Scripture verses that will help you in your prayers for hope Romans 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Job 13:15

Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 1 Peter 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Psalm 71:14 But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more You have to keep faith in Gods word. You have to find your hope and strength in Him. These times test our faithfulness and test what we believe about God His grace, His mercy and His ability to deliver us. Here is a prayer for hope that you may use every time you feel hopeless and helpless Our loving Father, my life and situation are not hidden from Your eyes. You know me even before I was formed in my mothers womb. I ask You to give me hope and assurance that You are here with me now guiding me in every step I take. I surrender to You now all the problems and challenges I have been bearing in my shoulders for a long time. I release to You all the false burdens in my body, soul, and spirit and ask that You cleanse me with the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ. I resign from taking control over my life and I submit to You full ownership and control henceforth. I have been running my life the way I want to and failed to invite You to be the divine ruler over all areas of my life. I place in Your altar all these things that have been giving me weakness, defeat, failure, lack, and hopelessness. Revive me once again to hope, trust, love, and be joyful and peaceful once again and to rest in Your love, presence and glory. I choose to hope and I choose life and You. I believe that You can best solve all these worries, anxieties, problems, and pains without my help. Take charge, take over, take control, take care of me. I love You, Lord with my entire being. Show me the way out of my despair. I put all of my trust in You. Fulfill your word and your promise to me that those who Hope in the Lord shall mount up with wings like an eagle, they shall renew their strength they shall run and not be weary , they shall walk and not be faint. In Jesus name. Amen. Thank God for restoring you and calling life and hope back to you. What sets apart the hopeful and faithful ones from those who are hopeless and faithless is obviously hope and faith. You

can choose to be the person who keeps on believing, hoping, praying, and loving. Bear in mind that God keeps on hoping and believing in you as well. Dont give up on Him and of hope because He will never at a time give up on you. Pray this prayer of hope every time you are pushed down and discouraged.

Praising God Using the Letters of the Alphabet A He is our ABBA Father. No matter what kind of natural father you had or maybe you didnt have one, it is comforting to know that God is our Abba Father and He loves us with a perfect love. Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father. B He is our Burden Bearer. I am not sure what atheists or agnostics do when they get to the end of themselves. God is always there waiting for us to take everything that concerns & burdens us and give it to Him. Psalm 55:22 (MSG) Pile your troubles on Gods shoulders Hell carry your load, Hell help you out. Hell never let good people topple into ruin. C The God we serve is the Creator of the Universe and everything in it. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. D - The Lord is our Deliverer. Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. E - Our God is Eternal. Time does not exist for Him because He exists outside of time. He is forever and there is no end to Him. Isaiah 26:4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. Jeremiah 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. F I couldnt decide which one I loved best so I am giving you two today. Our God is Faithful and He is a Fortress! (Deut 32:4 NIV) He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He. (Prov 18:10 NLT) The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to Him and are safe. G God is Gentle. This is not a word that we hear alot in Christendom these days. Matt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 1 Cor 2:1 By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to youI, Paul, who am timid when face to face with you, but bold when away! H Our God is Holy. And as such He alone is worthy of all glory and honor and praise. Revelation 4:8Day and night they never stop saying: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.

I God is Immutable. Its so good to know that all of His promises are Yes & Amen. (Malachi 3: 6 NIV) I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. (James 1:17 MSG) Every desirable & beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing twofaced, nothing fickle.

J God is Jehovah Rapha The Lord who Heals Exodus 15:26 He said, If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you. K He is King. Psalm 5:2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. This scripture is written about Jesus Revelation 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh He has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. L God Is Love. 1 John 4:8-10 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son to the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. M God is the Messiah. John 4:24-26 God is spirit, & his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. The woman said, I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming. Then Jesus declared, I who speak to you am He.John 1:41-42 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, We have found the Messiah (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. N God is always Near. He is Omnipresent. No other being on earth, above or below can be in every place all the time. Regardless of what you are facing He is there in the midst. Psalm 119:149-151 Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your laws.You are near, O LORD, and all your commands are true. O God is Omniscient. How many times have you felt misunderstood? Well, God understands you because He knows everything about you. Has anyone ever lied about you and you feel as if no one will ever believe you? God knows the truth. This is the most important thing. Wait for His vindication. Psalm 135:14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. Psalm 139:1-6 O Lord you have searched me & you know me. You know when I sit & when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me inbehind & before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. P God is Peace. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Eph 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility

R God is the Restorer of all things. He is in the restoration business. It doesnt matter if you dont know Him, He wants to restore the spiritual connection with you. If you do know him & youve wandered off the path, He wants to restore your relationship with Him. He can restore your Soul, Health, Material Possessions & your Relationships . Jeremiah 15:19 The LORD says: If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me,

Psalm 41:3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness. Deuteronomy 30:3 The LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you & gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. S God is Sovereign. This is my favorite attribute of God because when things dont go the way we think they should or bad things happen to good people, we can always remind ourselves that He is in control, He still sits on the throne & it is all (the good & the bad) coming together for His greater purpose & glory. Daniel 4:35 All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: What have you done? Isaiah 43:13 Yes, and from ancient days I am He. No one can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it? Isaiah 14:27 For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? Psalm 115:3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. T God is the Teacher. Everything you need to know you can learn from God. We learn from God, our Teacher, through His Word and through Prayer. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 13:13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am. U God is Undefiled. There is nothing unclean, unholy or impure in Him. When you are truly in His presence it is impossible for you to judge others without first being completely aware of your own sinful state. When you are in His presence you are compelled to revere Him. If you have never experienced this, I would venture to say you have only had an emotionally charged experiences and never really entered into the presence of El Elyon. Hebrews 7:26 Such a high priest meets our needone who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. V God is our Victory. Are you facing a battle? The Lord is the one who gives victory to His people. Just has He was victorious over sin, death and the grave, He can give that victory to you

no matter the size of your Goliath. Turn to Him in prayer and remember these verses: 1 Cor 15:57 Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Deut 20:4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory. Prov 21:31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but Victory rests with the LORD. Ps 118:15 Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: The LORDs right hand has done mighty things! W God is Wisdom. He also gives wisdom to anyone who asks for it. We need godly wisdom to navigate through this life and to make the right decisions. Job 12:13 To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Ecclesiastes 7:19 Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city. Daniel 2:21 He changes times and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. Y God is YHWH. This means God is I AM. Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you! Z God is Zealous. He is very passionate in His love & protection of His children. 2 Kings 19:31 For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and out of Mount Zion survivors The zeal of the LORD will perform this. Isaiah 26:11 O LORD, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it they see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies. Tips and a Prayer to overcome Loneliness during the Christmas Season The Christmas and New Year season is a time of year when loneliness, depression and sadness can take root in the lives of Christians.

We know by the word of God that we shouldnt feel this way but we are human and it can and will happen if we dont take the necessary steps to guard our hearts and mind. Those who suffer from loneliness may be single, those who are widowed, divorced, those who have lost a loved one, the empty-nester and sometimes even married people. That covers just about everyone! What can we do as Christians during this time to guard our thoughts and feelings from negative emotions? Well, lets look at some practical steps. Go To Church This would not be the time to attend Bedside Baptist or Living Room Episcopal through your computer or television. You need to go to church. Get in a community with others who have similar interests. Many of us start out in our relationship with God being CEOs Christmas and Easter Only. Well, its Christmas! Do a search on the internet for area churches and attend one. If you are already involved in a church perhaps you will consider inviting someone to church who may be struggling with loneliness during this Christmas Season. Pray - We know that prayer works! Pray about your situation and leave the rest to the Lord. He will work everything out, no matter how difficult the case may be, for your own good (Romans 8:28) Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Help someone else Doing volunteer work during the Christmas and New Year season is a great way to take your mind off your situation and becoming the hands and feet of Jesus by helping others. Volunteer at your church, baby sit for a couple, get involved in making holiday baskets, put together Christmas shoe boxes for underprivileged children with Samaritans Purse. You can also invite others over to your house for dinner to share the holidays with you. Matthew 25:31-45 Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me. Then they also will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? Then He will answer them,

saying, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. Meditate on Scripture Meditating on the word of God will guard your mind from falling into depression and fill you with the joy of Christ so that you will be able to enjoy the Season. The word will strengthen you and give you hope as you meditate on it. Romans 10:17 - Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Psalm 119:28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. Psalm 119:148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. Psalm 119:81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word. Psalm 119:43 Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws. Psalm 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. Find an activity that you enjoy and keep yourself busy Sitting at home worrying about your situation will not make things better and will only lead to negative thoughts and depression. Is there a hobby that you have considered starting? Perhaps youve wanted to learn how to cook or go rock climbing? Now would be the time to start that activity. Dont be idle! Use Jesus as an example He was either praying, teaching His disciples or helping others. He never sat around idle and focusing on his singleness. Being idle will get you in trouble. Ecclesiastes 11:6 Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. 1 Timothy 5:13 - they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to. Here is a prayer for you: Abba Father, as your child I come to You asking that You fill every empty place within me. Fill the void in my life that is there because of __________. I ask that You would guide me through Your Scriptures so that I may hear directly from You on this matter. I pray as Samuel prayed that You Speak Lord for your servant is listening. I ask that until You take this loneliness away You help me to glean every lesson possible from this present place. Protect my mind from self centered thoughts and cause me to focus on the many blessings that Youve given me. Help me to focus on the fact that Jesus is my friend, my brother, my husband and my father. He is my provider and the One who takes care of all of my needs according to Your

glorious riches. He is the healer of the broken-hearted. He is the greatest Christmas gift that I could ever receive. I thank You for my salvation and I pray that I would be Your hands and feet during this season to bring You to others. In Jesus Name, Amen. Praying Without Ceasing Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks (I Thessalonians 5:1618). Our Lord told the parable of the widow and the unjust judge to teach us that men ought to pray without ceasing. The widow persevered in seeking one definite thing. The parable appears to refer to persevering in prayer for some special blessing, when God delays or appears to refuse. The Epistles, which speak of continuing in prayer, watching for the answer, and praying always in the Spirit, appear to refer to something different-the whole life being one of prayer. As the soul longs for the manifestation of Gods glory to us, in us, through us, and around us, the inmost life of the soul is continually rising upward in dependence, faith, longing desire, and trustful expectation. What is needed to live such a life of prayer? The first thing is undoubtedly an entire sacrifice of ones life to Gods Kingdom and glory. If you try to pray without ceasing because you want to be very pious and good, you will never succeed. Yielding ourselves to live for God and His honor enlarges the heart and teaches us to regard everything in the light of God and His will. We instinctively recognize in everything around us the need for Gods help and blessing, and an opportunity for His being glorified. Everything is weighed and tested by the one thing that fills the heart: the glory of God. The soul has learned that only what is of God can really glorify Him. Through the heart and soul, the whole life becomes a looking up, a crying from the inmost heart, for God to prove His power and love, and reveal His glory. The believer awakes to the consciousness that he is one of the watchmen on Zions walls, whose call really does touch and move the King in heaven to do what would otherwise not be done. He understands how real Pauls exhortation was: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit for all the saints and for me, and continue in prayer, with all praying also for us. To forget oneself-to live for God and His Kingdom among men-is the way to learn to pray without ceasing. This life devoted to God must be accompanied by the deep confidence that our prayer is effective. In His prayer lessons, our Blessed Lord insisted on faith in the Father as a God Who most certainly does what we ask. Ask and ye shall receive. To count confidently on an answer is the beginning and the end of His teaching. (Compare Matthew 7:8 and John 16:24.) As we gain the assurance that our prayers are effective and that God does what we ask, we dare not neglect the use of this wonderful power. Our souls should turn wholly to God, and our lives should become prayer. The Lord needs and takes time, because we and everyone around us are creatures of time, subject to the law of growth. But know that not one single prayer of faith can possibly be lost, and that sometimes there is a necessity for accumulating prayer. Know that persevering prayer pleases God. Prayer becomes the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.

Dont limit such free and sure promises of the living God with your reasoning any longer! Dont rob them of their power, and ourselves of the wonderful confidence they are meant to inspire! The hindrance is not in God, not in His secret will, and not in the limitations of His promises. It is in us. We are not what we should be to obtain the promise. Open your whole heart to Gods words of promise in all their simplicity and truth! They will search us and humble us. They will lift us up and make us glad and strong. To the faith that knows it gets what it asks for, prayer is not a work or a burden, but a joy and a triumph. It becomes a necessity and a second nature. This union of strong desire and firm confidence is nothing but the life of the Holy Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit dwells in us, hides Himself in the depths of our being, and stirs our desire for the Unseen and the Divine-God Himself. It is always the Holy Spirit Who draws out the heart to thirst for God and to long for His being recognized and glorified. Sometimes He speaks through us in groanings that cannot be uttered, sometimes in clear and conscious assurance, sometimes in distinct petitions for the deeper revelation of Christ to ourselves, and sometimes in pleas for a soul, a work, the Church or the world. Where the child of God really lives and walks in the Spirit-where he is not content to remain carnal, but tries to be a fit, spiritual organ for the Divine Spirit to reveal the life of Christ and Christ Himself-there the neverceasing life of intercession of the Blessed Son must reveal and repeat itself. Because it is the Spirit of Christ Who prays in us, our prayers must be heard. Because it is we who pray in the Spirit, there is need of time, patience, and continual renewing of the prayer until every obstacle is conquered, and the harmony between Gods Spirit and ours is perfect. The chief thing we need for a life of unceasing prayer is to know that Jesus teaches us to pray. We have begun to understand a little of what His teaching is. It isnt the communication of new thoughts or views, the discovery of failure or error, nor the arousal of desire and faith, however important all this may be. Jesus teaching takes us up into the fellowship of His own prayer-life before the Father. This is how Jesus really teaches. It was the sight of Jesus praying that made the disciples ask to be taught to pray. The faith of Jesus continuous prayer truly teaches us to pray. We know why: He Who prays is our Head and our life. All He has is ours and is given to us when we give ourselves completely to Him. By His blood, He leads us into the immediate presence of God. The inner sanctuary is our home; we live there. Living so close to God and knowing we have been taken there to bless those who are far away, we cannot help but pray. Christ makes us partakers with Himself of His prayer-power and prayer-life. Our true aim must not be to work a great deal and pray just enough to keep the work right. We should pray a great deal and then work enough for the power and blessing obtained in prayer to find its way through us to men. Christ lives to pray eternally; He saves and reigns. He communicates His prayer-life to us and maintains it in us if we trust Him. He is responsible for our praying without ceasing. Christ teaches us to pray by showing us how He does it, by doing it in us, and by leading us to do it in Him and like Him. Christ is everything-the life and the strength-for a neverceasing prayer-life. Seeing Christs continuous praying as our life enables us to pray without ceasing. Because His priesthood is the power of an endless life-that resurrection life that never fades and never fails-and because His life is our life, praying without ceasing can

become the joy of heaven here on earth. The Apostle says, Rejoice evermore: pray without ceasing: in everything give thanks. Supported by never-ceasing joy and neverceasing praise, never-ceasing prayer is the manifestation of the power of the eternal life where Jesus always prays. The union between the Vine and the branch is indeed a prayer union. The highest conformity to Christ-the most blessed participation in the glory of His heavenly life-is that we take part in His work of intercession. He and we live forever to pray. In union with Him, praying without ceasing becomes a possibility-a reality, the holiest and most blessed part of our holy and blessed fellowship with God. We abide within the veil in the presence of the Father. What the Father says, we do. What the Son asks, the Father does. Praying without ceasing is the earthly manifestation of heaven, a foretaste of the life where they rest neither day nor night in their song of worship and adoration. Lord, teach us to pray. Here is a prayer for you: O my Father! With my whole heart I praise You for this wondrous life of continuous prayer, continuous fellowship, continuous answers, and continuous oneness with Him Who lives to pray forever! O my God! Keep me abiding and walking in the presence of Your glory, so that prayer may be the spontaneous expression of my life with You. Blessed Savior! With my whole heart I praise You for coming from heaven to share my needs and my pleas, so that I could share Your all- powerful intercession. Thank You for taking me into Your school of prayer, teaching me the blessedness and the power of a life that is totally comprised of prayer. And most of all, thank You for taking me up into the fellowship of Your life of intercession. Now through me, too, Your blessings can be dispensed to those around me. Holy Spirit! With deep reverence I thank You for Your work in me. Through You I am lifted up into communication with the Son and the Father, entering the fellowship of the life and love of the Holy Trinity. Spirit of God! Perfect Your work in me! Bring me into perfect union with Christ, My Intercessor! Let Your unceasing indwelling make my life one of unceasing intercession. And let my life unceasingly glorify the Father and bless those around me. In Jesus Name Amen. Are you seeking to hear the Voice of God? There are times when we struggle to discern what the Lord God may be saying to us. We need His direction in every area of our lives and He is the only one who can truly let us know which road to take. Turn off the television. Stop listening to everyone else, even your well meaning Christian brothers and sisters, and tune your ear into the voice of the Lord. Matthew 7:7-8 (New International Version)

Ask, Seek, Knock Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (New International Version) For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Here is a Prayer for you Lord, I come to You in true repentance of my sins and ask for forgiveness for all of my sins, known and unknown. I praise You Lord and I thank You Lord for all the blessings that You have given me and that You continue to give me everyday. As I come to You Lord, and humble myself before You, I ask that You clear my mind of any preconceived thoughts, confusion or deception. I ask You Lord to block anything that is not of You and that I hear Your Voice and only Your Voice, Lord Jesus. I thank You Lord for the Words of Wisdom that I receive from You and I ask You Lord in complete faith and confidence that You will not allow any words to be spoken from my mouth that are not Your Words. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen Key Ingredients for Effective Intercession A heart, resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemers throne; Where only Christ is heart do speak, Where Jesus reigns alone. A humble, lowly contrite heart, Believing, true and clean, Which neither death nor life can part From Him that dwells within. A heart in every thought renewed, And filled with love divine; Perfect and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of Thine. Charles Wesley Nehemiah 1:1-10 1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. 3 They said to me, Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are

in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire. 4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said: O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my fathers house, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. 8 Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name. 10 They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man. I was cupbearer to the king. Such a heart, in full sympathy with the heart of the Eternal, beating with the pulse-beat of heave, was that of Nehemiah. It is laid bare for us in the first chapter of his book, when news is brought to him, far away in captivity, of the desolations of Zion. The remnants that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire (verse 3). This was the situation which drew forth such burdened praying from the heart of Nehemiah. Essential to the mighty intercession that is answered in revival is a clear vision of the need. What was it that so deeply moved this man of God? Firstly it was the people of God in great affliction and reproach. He saw Ichabod written across the nation, the glory hath departed. The people who had been so mightily liberated by the outstretched hand of God were again in bondage. They had been so glorious and powerful and free in the eyes of men in the days that were past, and now they had been brought so low; this was the reproach that Nehemiah continually faced as he set to work to restore the situation. They laughed us to scorn, and despised us (2:19); What do these feeble Jews? (4:2). Hear, O our God; for we are despised; and turn back their reproach upon their own head (4:4). Since they were Gods people and called by His Name, a reproach upon them was a reproach upon Him. The glory of God was involved. This is the situation today. God is jealous for His great Name because His church, which should be fair as the moon, clear as the sun, terrible as an army with banners (song. 6:10), is all too often in bondage and affliction, the scorn and laughing-stock of the world. Secondly, Nehemiah visualized the wall of Jerusalem broken down. The wall was the line of demarcation, that which separated those within from those without. A city without walls was defenseless and easy prey to every enemy marauder. In a great measure it is true today that the walls of the city have been broken down, the church has lost her mark of separation, her defenses are departed from her, and she is vulnerable to every attack of Satan. Finally, the gates thereof are burned with fire. The gates were the key to the control of every

city. In the gates sat the rulers of the city, the elders, the nobles, and the judges (Deut. 22:15; Job 29:7-10; Prov. 31:23). When the gates were burned, authority and dominion were destroyed, and the people were subdued. In the days of the early church the gates of the city were intact. Gods people knew the authority which was theirs in the Name of Jesus, and in their preaching and their praying and their working they used to the full that authority. The need of the hour is for men of the stamp of Nehemiah to sound an alarm in Gods holy mountain, to open our eyes that we may see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire, and to bring the challenge, Let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach (Neh. 2:17). And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven (1:4). In the reaction to spiritual need the state of the heart is revealed. The Savior could not look upon the multitudes going astray as sheep not having a shepherd without being moved with compassion. He could not look out over the Jerusalem that had heard His word and witnessed His power and yet rejected His message without weeping. How we need to pray, Lord crucified, give me a heart like Thine. Such a heart had Nehemiah. If it had been otherwise he might have quieted his conscience and soothed his feelings with the thought that Jerusalem was far away, that he was well cared for in Shushan the palace, and that the desolations of Zion were no fault of his, so why need he be concerned? He could have argued that this situation was in consequence of the peoples sin-the other peoples; and that it was up to them, not him, to remedy it. He might have fortified himself in his indifference by asserting that the end of the dispensation was at hand, that judgment on their departure from God was predicted, and therefore there was no hope of recovery or of revival until the coming of Messiah. But how different was his attitude! If this was a time when Jerusalem was tempted to say, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me, then God was ready to answer with the tenderness of a nursing mother for her child, Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls [broken down though they may be] are continually before Me (Is. 49:14-16). Because Nehemiahs heart was in sympathy with God he could not contemplate her afflictions without mourning, nor could he love her without weeping. Prevailing prayer requires a tender, compassionate heart, a deep solicitude for the glory of God and the good of His people. Nehemiah wept and mourned. While our praying is cold and formal and tearless we need not expect God to work for us as he did for Nehemiah. It is he that goeth on his way weeping who may expect to come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him (Ps. 126:6). Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (Matt. 5:4). In Summary, the key to effective intercession based on Nehemiah Chapter 1 is: -Compassion -The ability to discern when the burden requires prayer and fasting -Focusing on the sovereignty of God, on the mountain mover and not the mountain -Persistence in Prayer

-Confession of all sins -Relating to the persons for whom intercessions are being made -Praying the Word of God back to Him and reminding Him of His promises to His people -Approaching the throne with Humility and Reverence Lord God we approach your throne of grace with confidence and in humility. We confess our sins Lord. The sins that we are aware of and those that we dont know that we are committing against you on a daily basis. We ask you for forgiveness and we accept your mercy. Lord we are asking you to give us a heart of intercession for lost souls and for the restoration of your people. Lord help us to always pray from a heart that has been made right by your Spirit and Your truth. We ask you that you reveal to us our motives and make us pure in our requests. Help us to see the ones that we intercede for as You see them. Give us Your eyes and Your heart for Your people. Bring to our mind and imprint upon our hearts the promises that You have made to us according to Your holy Word. Let us have faith in Your word and trust that Your promises are true and all of Your word will come to pass. We love you Lord and we thank You for loving us. In Jesus Name. Amen. How Do You Get Your Prayers Answered Part 2, Praying the Will of God Last month we learned that the only way to have access to God is through Jesus Christ. Once you have established this relationship with God every promise that He makes in His word to His children belongs to you. Your prayers will be answered according to His promises and His will. When we receive the Holy Spirit within us He illuminates the word of God and brings understanding to us of the will of God.Romans 8:14-15 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 heirsheirs of God and joint heirs with Christ There are several requirements to consider before your prayers will be answered: You have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:16) You have confessed all sins in your life (Psalm 66:18) You are praying the will of God (1 John 5:14) God will not go against His will which is found in His word. We also need to have key ingredients activated in our lives in order to have our prayers answered. Hebrews 10:35-36 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. We need to wait expectantly on the answer. We need to be obedient. We need to have patience.

So many times we want the answer right away. We are fast food Christians. We want it now but God wants us to continue to seek Him so that if we are asking anything that is not according to His will He will reveal this to us over time and change our prayer request. Have you ever prayed for something and God said No only to discover later that you are happy He did not give you what you wanted? Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. The Lord will give to you what is good. So how do you find Gods will? The simple answer is you need to read the bible. The second thing you need to do is pray to God for direction in finding His will for your specific situation. God has given us instructions for every need or desire we have in His word. God does not keep secrets from His children. All you have to do is ask Him. Matthew 7:7-10 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. For what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Sometimes His answer is No. Sometimes the answer is Yes and at other times it is Yes, but wait. There are also times when we genuinely believe that God has said Yes only to discover that we were wrong. How does this happen? Our motive. We can be motivated to discern the answer incorrectly by: Fear Pride Manipulation When we have a big decision to make God usually sends the answer in portions over a period of time. When we find ourselves rushed to make a decision we should proceed with caution. When we are sure that we have the Yes answer from God we need to ask ourselves these questions Am I doing this because I am afraid of something? or, Am I doing this because of my Pride? or, Did I help God out to make sure that His answer was Yes? Only God can reveal this. Therefore you need to seek Him with an open heart and ask Him to search your heart. Go through Psalm 26 and ask God to reveal the motives of your heart. Here is an actual example of these factors at work. I once prayed for a friend who was sure that God was telling her to sell her house. She said in accordance with His word to be a good steward of His money she needed to downsize to a smaller and less expensive house to save money. Sounds good right? Well, as we prayed through this from week to week she would get a yes answer one week and then no the next week. She was sure that God would expect her to sell the house so she went ahead and put it on the market.

By this time very many people in our circle of friends had heard that God had directed her to sell her house. Everyone started to give her advice. Another good lesson here is to not tell everyone when you are waiting on the Lord for direction. People usually tell you what they would do instead of advising you on how to hear from God yourself. As the months rolled by she became more confused. She would get offers on her house and they would fall through. She would find houses that she liked and they wouldnt work out either. Satan was having a field day with keeping her confused. God is not a God of confusion. Everything came to a head as she was sitting in her driveway with a truck packed with the contents of her house and having what I call Pseudo Peace. She found a new house, had a buyer for her home everything appeared to be going well on the outside but she knew in her heart that something was not right. The next thing she did was the best thing she did. This courageous woman unpacked the contents back into her house and decided that she was not moving. This is when she finally had the peace of God. True peace did not come until she purposed in her heart that she was not moving. As an intercessor I was very curious to know how we end up in these situations where we are so sure that we heard from God but in fact we didnt. I asked her to go back to the very beginning of when she thought God told her she should move. She remembers that she had lost her job and she needed to downsize because she was afraid she would no longer be able to afford her house. And there it was, fear. God did not tell her to move, fear told her to move. I also want to point out that she moved back into the house and did not allow her pride to stop her from telling her Christian friends that she had made a mistake. She had to face many people, including her realtor who invested months showing her houses, to tell them that she was wrong. A few weeks later a hurricane came through our area and trees fell into the driveway of the very house that she was going to move into. The house had no garage so both cars would have been damaged. God is so good! He protects us when we obey Him. Youll be happy to know that she got another job and is still living in her house today. She still cant afford the house but has not made one payment late nearly two and a half years later. God provides! She could have allowed her pride to take over and move into the house anyway. Afterall, all signs on the outside appeared to be from God. No one would know, except God. We always have to lay ourselves bare before the Lord and ask Him to reveal the motives of our heartand He will.

So here are some questions that we need to ask ourselves before we act on the answer: Does this line up with the word of God? Will this honor God? Does this fit the path that God has shown me for my life? Will this decision hurt others? Is this decision being motivate by Pride or Fear? Romans 8:28-29 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Here is a prayer for you Abba Father help us to submit our will and our desires to Yours. Cleanse our mind, thoughts, speech and hands with Your blood Jesus from all of our unrighteousness. Lord we want nothing standing in the way of hearing from You. We want to know Your perfect will for our lives. Let us not be overcome with fear, pride or a manipulative spirit but lead us into Your truth by Your word. Lord open our eyes, our ears and our hearts to understanding Your will for us. We love you Lord. In Jesus Name. Amen Your Personal Commitment You can make your personal commitment to the Lord and express your faith to Him by praying: Lord Jesus, I want to become a follower of Yours. I come to You acknowledging that I am a sinner. I know that I cannot make myself acceptable to You through my own efforts. I believe You went to the cross to be judged in my place. I trust You to save me from the judgment I deserve. I trust You to give me a new life. I believe that you are the only One who can give me a life that works. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your love. Give me the strength and wisdom I need to learn Your ways so that I might follow You as my Lord. Amen. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Zechariah 13:9 "I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, This is My people; And each one will say, The Lord is my God." Matthew 6:8

"Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him." 1 John 3:22 "And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight." Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Proverbs 3:12 "For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights."

Job 5:17, 1 "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole." Psalms 94:12, 13 "Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law, That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked." 1 Corinthians 11:32 "But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world." 2 Corinthians 4:16,17 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," Hebrews 12:6, 7 "For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives. If you

endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?" Hebrews 12:10, 11 "For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Psalms 31:23 "Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person." Matthew 17:20 So Jesus said to them, 'Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.' " Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Romans 10:17 "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Galatians 5:6 "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love." 2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight." Mark 11:23,24 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He

is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. " James 1:5,6 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." Colossians 2:6,7 "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. " Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God," Galatians 3:26 "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."

2 Timothy 3:14,15 "But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." 1 Corinthians 16:13 "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness," Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Ephesians 3:17-19

"that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Hebrews 12:1,2 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Oh Lord, I know that You cause all things to work out to the good for those who love you. I love You and I am persuaded that You are working out the details of this distressing situation for my good and to show Yourself powerful on my behalf confirming Your Covenant with me through Christ Jesus. Therefore, I walk forward in strength and confidence. Amen!!! Alleluia! Romans 8:28, Romans 6) Lord, I thank You that I have Your FAVOR this day and every day. I thank You that You are giving me special advantages and blessings because You desire the best for Your children. Lord I thank You that You will open doors of opportunity for me that no man can shut and that Your favor will surround me like a shield. I speak Your favor and blessing over my life and my family, I believe, because of You, that everything I put my hand toward will prosper and succeed. I believe that You are a good God and desire good things for Your children. Help me today to live a life of obedience, a life that will honor You. And THANK YOU for Your promise that says, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly" Psalm 84:11 In Jesus's Name, Amen Psalm 5:12 "The FAVOR of God goes before me and surrounds me as a shield." Psalm 90:17 "May the FAVOR of the Lord our God rest upon us..." II Corinthians 6:2 "For He says, 'In the time of my FAVOR I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you, now is the time of God's favor."

Psalm 30:5 (NLT) "His FAVOR lasts a lifetime!" Revelations 3:7-8 ".what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut." 10 Benefits of the FAVOR of God: 1. FAVOR produces supernatural increase and promotion (Genesis 39:21) 2. FAVOR produces restoration of everything tha the enemy has stolen from you. (Exodus 3:21) 3. FAVOR produces humor in the midst of your adversaries. (Exodus 11:3) 4. FAVOR produces increased assets, especially in the area of real estate. (Deuteronomy 33:23) 5. FAVOR produces great victories in the midst of great impossibilities. (Joshua 11:20) 6. FAVOR produces recognition, even when you seem the least likely to receive it. (I Samuel 16:22) 7. FAVOR produces prominence and preferential treatment. (Esther 2:17) 8. FAVOR produces petitions granted even by ungodly civil authoriites. (Esther 5:8) 9. FAVOR causes policies, rules, regulations and laws to be changed and reversed to your advantage. (Esther 8:5) 10. FAVOR produces battles won which you won't even fight because God will fight them for you. (Psalm 44:3) Constantly praise God for His FAVOR. Expect it, believe that it's going to manifest every day of your life and when it does, no matter how small it may seem, give God praise for it. Immediately declare, "That's the FAVOR of God!" Finance Scriptures If any of you need a touch from God in your finances, speak these words of God over your finances as often as you can. God's Word is full of power. You can't speak His Word over

something and nothing happen! Keep speaking these scriptures until you get results. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it you. John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Proverbs 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.(Poverty is surely a curse, so, we have been redeemed from poverty and lack) 2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured unto you again. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Galatians 6:7-10 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not, As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.(Always use your faith for your finances) Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. (Sometimes you have to really get violent with your faith and let the devil know you will not back down to him and his fear, fear that you will not have enough money to pay your bills and get what you need). Hebrews 11:6 But without faith, it is impossible to please Him: For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; But was strong in faith, giving glory to God. (Your faith is like a body of water behind the walls of a dam. When the floodgates are opened, your faith will burst forth and cover everything the devil has put in your path to try and keep you from receiving the finances you need. God not only wants you to have enough to pay your bills, but, a lot more so you can help those in need and plant a lot of seeds in the Kingdom of God). The angels of God are out there working to bring the finances to you that you need to pay your bills, etc. Luke 10:15 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Psalms 68:17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: The Lord is among them, as in Sanai, in the Holy Place. Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Psalms 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His Word. (The angels are all around us every moment of our lives. They are standing there, waiting for us to speak Gods Word out of our mouths so they can go to work to bring to pass what we say. If we speak negative things out of our mouths concerning our finances or anything else, they just stand there with their hands folded because they only hearken (listen to and obey) Gods Word.Do you see what I am saying?)

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ( The Word produces faith. Your faith will never exceed your knowledge of Gods Word. You will never receive anything from God if you dont know it is Gods will to give it to you. Faith is a force. A force is a strength or energy of an exceptional degree, an influence as a push or pull that causes motion or a change of motion. It has power which is the ability to act or produce an effect. Faith is like fresh fruit. It is just hanging there, waiting to be picked and harvested. It is plump and juicy, almost bursting at the seams. Gods Word works every time. We have to put forth an effort and apply our faith to that Word before we see the manifestation of what we are believing for. Things happen when we use faith. Signs follow the believer (Mark 16:17-18). Signs follow faith in Gods Word. Faith really works!) Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Deuteronomy 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Isaiah 55:1 Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (See, even if we dont have any money, we can still get the things we need from God. He is our provider anyhow, not our jobs or our spouses). Psalms 115:11-16 Ye that fear (respect) the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. The Lord has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Psalms 126 When the Lord turneth again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them (put your name here). The Lord hath done great things for us (put your name here again); whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He (or she) that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (harvest) with him (or her). ( The Lord sees all the times you have tithed and gave offerings even when it was sacrificial and when He turns this thing around and He blesses you financially, it will be like a dream. It will be wonderful. You will laugh. You will sing because you will be so excited).

Proverbs 3:9&10 Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 8:17-21 (wisdom) I love them that love me. Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. Proverbs 10:21 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Psalms 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your great confidence (faith), which has great recompense (payback) of reward. (In other words, cast not away therefore your great faith, which has great payback). 1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence (faith) that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. Psalms 34:9&10 Oh fear (respect) the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him, The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want (lack) any good thing. Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room to receive it. Proverbs 13:22 The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is

this day. Psalms 112:1-3 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness shall endure forever. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon (poverty and lack) that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Poverty and lack is a weapon of the enemy that he uses a lot. The enemy may have that weapon formed against you, but it will not prosper!). Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Thank you Lord for giving us strength to do ALL things!) Mark 5:36 Be not afraid, only believe. (Lord, we will not be afraid that this will not come to pass. We know it is coming to pass! We believe! We will not let in any doubt, unbelief, fear, offense or stress because it is a trap from the devil to steal our dream of having better finances, having all of our needs met, being able to help others, having a debt free, paid for house or anything else God has already said we can have in His Word. We will be aware of the cares of this world. We will not let the cares of this world steal our time away from the Word or their time away from you. We refuse to think small because we know you are not a small God. You are a mighty God, able to do all things no matter how impossible they look. Besides, we know we would disappoint you if we thought small. We want to show You how much we trust You and how much we believe that You want to, You can, You will and You are able to do this impossible thing for us. We refuse to limit You. You have ways that we know not of. We refuse to be moved by our circumstances. We have made a decision that we will only be moved by what You say in Your Word.) Psalms 107:1-2 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her (Martha), Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me to do? (Lord, the answer to that is absolutely not!!!) Romans 4:17 He called those things that be not as though they were. (Thank You Lord for: put in whatever you are believing God for, a debt free, paid for house, a healing, etc.) Romans 4:20-21 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able

also to perform. (Lord, we stagger not at your promise through unbelief. We are strong in faith and we pray this gives you much glory and honor. We are fully persuaded that what you promised us, you WILL bring to pass! We ARE expecting!) Hebrews 3:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them; but the word preached did not prosper them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (Lord, we have heard the word preached concerning our finances and prosperity and we do mix it with faith and the word preached to us IS going to prosper!) Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Psalms 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Lord, we thank You for loading us down everyday with Your wonderful benefits and we praise You for our great salvation!) Psalms 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget NOT all his benefits. Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but, at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (Thank You Lord that our vision is getting ready to speak. Though it tarries, we WILL wait for it because it will surely come. IT WILL NOT TARRY!) Proverbs 6:31 But if he be found, he (the thief) shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. (Lord, we have found the thief and we know it is the devil. He HAS to restore to us seven times everything he has ever stolen from us and together we call it all in right now in the Holy Name of Jesus!) 2 Samuel 7:27-29 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, has revealed to thy servant, saying, I WILL build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue forever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed forever. (Thank You Lord for building that debt free, paid for house that (Put your name here) has been dreaming about all these years! Only You can do such a thing! Praise You Father!) Job 22:27-28 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. ( In the Message Bible, these same two scriptures says this: You will pray to him and he will listen; he will help you do what you have promised. You will decide what you want and it will happen; your life will be bathed in light. How awesome is that? ) 2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak. ( Also in the Message Bible, it reads: Were not keeping this quiet, not on your life. Just like the psalmist who wrote, "I

believed it, so I said it", we say what we believe. ) Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings. (A faithful woman shall also abound with blessings!) Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? ( If I had to pick one scripture to get whatever I needed (house, car, job, healing, etc.), it would be this one. If God didnt withhold His only Son, why would He withhold a house, car, healing, job or anything else?) Psalms 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continuously, Let the Lord be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. ( Precious Lord, we do shout for joy and we are surely glad. We definitely favor your righteous cause. We say continuously, Let the Mighty God we serve be magnified. Thank You Lord for having pleasure in our prosperity! ) Genesis 26:12-14 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in that same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed (became) great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Exodus 3:7-8 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. These scriptures taken from the Message Bible says: God said, "Ive taken a good long look at the affliction of my people in Egypt. Ive heard their crys for deliverance from their slave masters; I know all about their pain. And now I have come down to help them, pry them loose from the grip of Egypt, get them out of that country and bring them to a good land with wide open spaces, a land lush with milk and honey". ( Lord, thank you for seeing our affliction and for hearing our cry. Thank you for knowing our sorrows and for coming down to deliver us and for bringing us out into a good land and a large land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. ) Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do all according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Deuteronomy 29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 2 Chronicles 26:5 And he sought God in the days of Zachariah, who had understandings in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. ( Lord, our faith is surely

NOT dead! ) Matthew 8:13 Jesus said, "As thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee." ( Lord, we have believed and we thank you for letting it be done unto us!) The same verse in the Message Bible says: Then Jesus turned to the captain and said, "Go. What you believe could happen has happened." At that moment his servant became well. So what you believe could happen, can happen. Lord, thank you for opening up doors for us that no man or no devil can shut! Revelations 3:8 Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. ( Lord, we do hearken to Your voice. Thank you that all of these blessings shall not only come upon us,but overtake us!) Deuteronomy 28:7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. (Lord, we thank You and give You all of the praise, glory and honor for causing our enemies that rise up against us to be smitten before our faces (we get to watch), Thank You Lord that when they come against us one way, they will be in such a hurry to get away from You, they will flee from us seven different ways!!! GLORY!) Deuteronomy 28:8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all thy settest thy hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Thank You Lord for commanding Your blessing upon us and in all we set our hand unto. Thank You for blessing us in that land that You gave us.) Psalms 66:12 We went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. (I know you have been through the fire and the flood, but, if you stay faithful to God, He will bring you out unto a wealthy place, a place where it will be so much that it is running over and you have to help other people with your excess!) Psalms 30:5 Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Thank God it is morning time!) Psalms 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. (Precious Lord, thank You that You are always watching us wherever we are and that You always hear us when we pray and call out to You.) Psalms 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Hebrews 3:12-14 Take heed brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence (faith) steadfast unto the end. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. (Lord, thank you for every good and perfect gift that You have given to us!)

2 Chronicles 16:9 The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. (Father, we thank You for showing Yourself strong on our behalf.) Ecclesiastes 2:26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. The same verse in the Message Bible says: God may give wisdom and knowledge and joy to his favorites, but sinners are assigned a life of hard labor, and end up turning their wages over to Gods favorites. Nothing but smoke--and spitting into the wind. Psalms 40:1-4 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. The same verses in the Message Bible says: I waited and waited and waited for God. At last he looked; finally he listened. He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. He stood me upon a solid rock to make sure I wouldnt slip. He taught me how to sing the latest God--song, a praise--song to our God. More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God. Blessed are you who give yourselves over to God, turn your backs on the worlds "sure thing", ignore what the world worships. Healing Scriptures Exodus 15:26 If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases among thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee. Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Deuteronomy 7:14-15 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them on all them that hate thee. Deuteronomy 28:1-4 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all of his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the fields. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy

seed may live. That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cling unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 1 Kings 8:56 Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. Psalm 91:9-10 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Psalm 91:14-15 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath 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 will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles. Psalm 107:8, 19-21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 118:17 I shalt not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Proverbs 4:20-24 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Isaiah 40:29,31 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken: smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we

are healed. Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; Joel 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Nahum 1:9 What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

Matthew 8:2-3 And, behold, there came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:16-17 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matthew 18:18-19 Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 21:21-22 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain; Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I saith unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 16:14-18 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraideth them

with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye unto all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life; and that they might have it more abundantly. Romans 4:16-21 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed , even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken. So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about one hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarahs womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief: but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Galatians 3:13-14, 29 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law (sickness, disease, pain, infection, inflammation,etc., is a curse) being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith: And if ye be Christs, then are ye Abrahams seed, and heirs according to the promise. Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you

will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts through Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession without wavering; ( for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:35-36 Cast not away therefore your confidence (faith), which hath great recompense (reward) of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Hebrews 11:11 Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day and for ever. (If he healed back then, he still heals now!) James 5:14-16 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 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. 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 John 3:21-22 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight. 1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; Romans 4:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Psalm 37:3-4 Trust in the Lord, and do good: so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (If we desire healing, He will give it to us.) Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (even cancer is not impossible for God to heal, cancer, diabetes or any disease) Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. (our faith) Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and for to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (Being full of sickness, disease and pain and having to live with it is not abundant life!) Psalm 34:9-10 Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him, The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want (lack) any good thing. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon (sickness and disease) that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Mark 5:36 Be not afraid, only believe. (Dont be afraid that your healing isnt coming to pass. Dont let any doubt, fear, unbelief, stress or offense in. It is a trap from the devil to steal your healing and deliverance. Beware of the cares of this world. Dont let them steal the Word away from you. Dont let them steal your time with the Lord. Show Him how much you trust Him

and that you believe He wants to heal you, He can, He will and He is able to heal you). Psalm 107:1-2 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her (Martha), Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? Hebrews 3:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them; but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in time of need. Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (healing is one of the benefits of our salvation) Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light ( the power of God) shall shine upon thy ways. 2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak. ( if you believe you are healed, speak it out) Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Exodus 3:7-8 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters (sickness, disease, pain, affliction, inflammation);for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians (out of sickness, disease, pain, affliction and inflammation), and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey (unto total and complete health, flowing with energy and vitality) Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Matthew 8:13 Jesus said, "as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee." Deuteronomy 28:7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies ( sickness, disease, pain, infection, inflammation) that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. (Thank you Lord for causing my enemies of sickness, disease, pain, infection and inflammation to be smitten before my face and to flee

before me seven ways). Psalm 66:12 We went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy (healthy) place. Psalm 30:5 Weeping may endure for a night: but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. (He hears us when we pray and cry out to Him and He watches our every move) Psalm 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Hebrews 3:12-14 Take heed brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily (lets encourage the ones that are sick), while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence (faith) steadfast unto the end. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. 2 Chronicles 16:9 The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. (Hes looking for those who have faith in Him) Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 103:20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word. Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. ( Angels respond to the voice of Gods Word. Dont speak negative things over yourself or any loved ones that are sick. Only speak what God says about your health. It is Gods pleasure to heal you and deliver you from cancer, diabetes or anything else. If you speak negative things over yourself or loved ones, it will bind the angels from bringing your healing.) Psalm 40:1-4 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. ( He brought you up out of a horrible pit of sickness, disease, pain, infection, inflammation, etc. and set your feet upon a rock and many shall see your healing and God is going to use you to minister to others.) Scriptures for a Godly Husband MARK 11:22-24 AND JESUS ANSWERING SAITH UNTO THEM, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, BE THOU REMOVED, AND BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA; AND

SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, BUT SHALL BELIEVE THAT THOSE THINGS WHICH HE SAITH SHALL COME TO PASS; HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER HE SAITH. THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, WHAT THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE , WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YE RECEIVE THEM, AND YE SHALL HAVE THEM. LORD, YOU SAID WE COULD COME BOLDLY TO YOUR THRONE TO FIND HELP IN TIMES OF NEED. WELL, I NEED HELP. I WANT YOU TO HELP ME CHOOSE A GODLY HUSBAND. YOUR WORD SAYS WHATEVER I DESIRE, TO BELIEVE I RECEIVE IT WHEN I PRAY FOR IT. SO, I AM GOING TO PUT IN WRITING (HABAKKUK 2:2-3) WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IN A GODLY HUSBAND. THEN I AM GOING TO BELIEVE I RECEIVE IT. FATHER, I DESIRE TO HAVE A HUSBAND THAT WILL BE A PARTNER WITH ME IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, ONE WHO WILL SERVE YOU FAITHFULLY AND ALWAYS PUT YOU FIRST IN HIS LIFE. LET HIM BE PATIENT, KIND, LOVING, CARING, CONSIDERATE, THOUGHTFUL, COMPASSIONATE, GODLY, HONORABLE, FAITHFUL, PROSPEROUS, GENEROUS, GENTLE, ATTRACTIVE, TALENTED, TRUSTWORTHY, HELPFUL, FULL OF WISDOM, HONEST, LOYAL, FULL OF FAVOR WITH YOU AND WITH MAN. I HAVE MADE A DECISION TO STAND ON YOUR WORD AND BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY CONCERNING THIS REQUEST, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AND NO MATTER WHAT NEGATIVE WORDS ANYONE MAY SAY ABOUT IT AND NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. YOU ARE NOT A MAN THAT YOU CAN LIE AND IF YOU SAID IN YOUR WORD THAT I CAN HAVE IT IF I BELIEVE I RECEIVE WHEN I PRAY, THEN I AM GOING TO GET IT! ROMANS 10:17 SO THEN FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. THE WORD PRODUCES FAITH. YOUR FAITH WILL NEVER EXCEED YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF GODS WORD. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM GOD IF YOU DONT KNOW IT IS HIS WILL TO GIVE IT TO YOU. FAITH IS A FORCE. A FORCE IS A STRENGTH OR ENERGY OF AN EXCEPTIONAL DEGREE, AN INFLUENCE AS A PUSH OR PULL THAT CAUSES MOTION OR A CHANGE OF MOTION. IT HAS POWER WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO ACT OR PRODUCE AN EFFECT. FAITH IS LIKE FRESH FRUIT. IT IS JUST HANGING THERE, WAITING TO BE PICKED AND HARVESTED. IT IS PLUMP AND JUICY, ALMOST BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. GODS WORD WORKS EVERY TIME. WE HAVE TO PUT FORTH AN EFFORT AND APPLY OUR FAITH TO THAT WORD BEFORE WE SEE THE MANIFESTATION OF WHAT WE ARE BELIEVING FOR. THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE USE FAITH. SIGNS FOLLOW THE BELIEVER ( MARK 16:17-18 ). SIGNS FOLLOW FAITH IN GODS WORD. ( I AM A LIVING TESTIMONY OF THAT! ) PSALMS 37:3-4 TRUST IN THE LORD, AND DO GOOD: SO SHALT THY DWELL IN THE LAND, AND VERILY THOU SHALT BE FED. DELIGHT THYSELF ALSO IN THE LORD; AND HE SHALL GIVE THEE THE DESIRES OF THINE HEART. MATTHEW 19:26 BUT JESUS BEHELD THEM, AND SAID UNTO THEM, WITH MEN THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE; BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

MATTHEW 21:22 AND ALL THINGS ( THAT MEANS A GODLY HUSBAND TOO! ), WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING, YE SHALL RECEIVE. MARK 9:23 JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH. DEUTERONOMY 11:26 BEHOLD, I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY A BLESSING AND A CURSE; A BLESSING ( IT IS TRULY A BLESSING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL GODLY HUSBAND! ), IF YE OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, WHICH I COMMAND YOU THIS DAY: AND A CURSE, IF YE WILL NOT OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, BUT TURN ASIDE OUT OF THE WAY WHICH I COMMAND YOU THIS DAY, TO GO AFTER OTHER GODS, WHICH YE HAVE NOT KNOWN. EPHESIANS 3:20 NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US ( OUR FAITH ). ( IT JUST MIGHT SURPRISE YOU AT WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB GOD IS GOING TO DO FOR YOU IN FINDING YOU A GODLY HUSBAND. IT WILL BE MORE THAN YOU EVER ASKED OR THOUGHT!) PSALMS 115:11-16 YE THAT FEAR (RESPECT) THE LORD, TRUST IN THE LORD: HE IS THEIR HELP AND THEIR SHIELD. THE LORD HAS BEEN MINDFUL OF US: HE WILL BLESS US; HE WILL BLESS THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL; HE WILL BLESS THE HOUSE OF AARON. HE WILL BLESS THEM THAT FEAR THE LORD ( GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU RESPECT HIM ), BOTH SMALL AND GREAT. THE LORD SHALL INCREASE YOU MORE AND MORE, YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. YE ARE BLESSED OF THE LORD WHICH MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH. THE HEAVEN, EVEN THE HEAVENS, ARE THE LORDS: BUT THE EARTH HATH HE GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN. PSALMS 126 WHEN THE LORD TURNETH AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION, WE WERE LIKE THEM THAT DREAM. THEN WAS OUR MOUTH FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, AND OUR TONGUE WITH SINGING: THEN SAID THEY AMONG THE HEATHEN, THE LORD HATH DONE GREAT THINGS FOR THEM. THE LORD HATH DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US; WHEREOF WE ARE GLAD. TURN AGAIN OUR CAPTIVITY, O LORD, AS THE STREAMS IN THE SOUTH. THEY THAT SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY. HE (SHE) THAT GOETH FORTH AND WEEPETH, BEARING PRECIOUS SEED, SHALL DOUBTLESS COME AGAIN REJOICING, BRINGING HIS (HER) SHEAVES (HARVEST-NEW GODLY HUSBAND) WITH HIM (HER). (GOD IS GOING TO TURN YOUR CAPTIVITY INTO FREEDOM. YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY THAT YOU WILL BE LAUGHING AND REJOICING AT HIS GOODNESS. YOU WILL TELL EVERYONE WHAT GREAT THINGS THE LORD HAS DONE FOR YOU. HE WILL USE YOU AS A MIGHTY WITNESS! YOU HAVE SOWED IN TEARS ALL THESE YEARS. THIS WAS YOUR PRECIOUS SEED THAT YOU PLANTED, YOUR TIME, YOUR LOVE AND YOUR EFFORTS. YOU WILL DOUBTLESS COME AGAIN WITH REJOICING, BRINGING YOUR SHEAVES (HARVEST-NEW GODLY HUSBAND) WITH YOU AS A TESTIMONY TO WHAT GOD CAN DO FOR YOU IF YOU BELIEVE.)

PROVERBS 10:21 THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, IT MAKETH RICH, AND HE ADDETH NO SORROW WITH IT. (IT IS TRULY A BLESSING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL GODLY HUSBAND. YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH ONE AND NOT ONLY THAT, YOU WONT BE SORRY BECAUSE HIS WORD SAYS HE WILL ADD NO SORROW WITH IT!) MATTHEW 6:33 BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. (I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT YOU SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD SO I KNOW A GODLY HUSBAND WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.) MATTHEW 11:12 AND FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST UNTIL NOW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE. HEBREWS 11:6 BUT WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: FOR HE (SHE) THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. HEBREWS 4:20 HE (SHE) STAGGERED NOT AT THE PROMISE OF GOD THROUGH UNBELIEF; BUT WAS STRONG IN FAITH, GIVING GLORY TO GOD. (YOU ARE VIOLENT WITH YOUR FAITH AND YOU WILL TAKE THIS GODLY HUSBAND BY FORCE. YOUR FAITH IS LIKE A LARGE BODY OF WATER BEHIND THE WALLS OF A DAM. WHEN THE FLOODGATES ARE OPENED, YOUR FAITH WILL BURST FORTH AND COVER EVERYTHING THE DEVIL HAS PUT IN YOUR PATH TO KEEP YOU FROM RECEIVING A GODLY HUSBAND TO HELP YOU IN THE THINGS GOD HAD CALLED YOU TO DO. GOD WILL GET MUCH GLORY AND HONOR OUT OF THIS.) LUKE 15:10 LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH. PSALMS 68:17 THE CHARIOTS OF GOD ARE TWENTY THOUSAND, EVEN THOUSANDS OF ANGELS: THE LORD IS AMONG THEM, AS IN SANAI, IN THE HOLY PLACE. HEBREWS 1:14 ARE THEY NOT ALL MINISTERING SPIRITS, SENT FORTH TO MINISTER FOR THEM WHO SHALL BE HEIRS OF SALVATION? PSALMS 91:11 FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER THEE, TO KEEP THEE IN ALL THY WAYS. PSALMS 103:20 BLESS THE LORD, YE HIS ANGELS, THAT EXCEL IN STRENGTH, THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD. (LORD, I WILL SPEAK YOUR WORD OUT OF MY MOUTH CONCERNING THIS GODLY HUSBAND SO YOUR ANGELS CAN GO FORTH AND CAUSE IT TO COME TO PASS. I WILL NOT SPEAK ANY NEGATIVE THING ABOUT IT TO BIND THE ANGELS.) GALATIANS 6:7-10 BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED: FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP. FOR HE THAT SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; BUT HE THAT SOWETH TO THE SPIRIT SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING. AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT. AS WE HAVE THEREFORE OPPORTUNITY, LET US DO GOOD UNTO ALL MEN, ESPECIALLY UNTO THEM WHO ARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH. (YOU HAVE SOWED LOVE, TIME, ATTENTION, ENCOURAGEMENT, CARE, UNDERSTANDING

AND SO MUCH MORE. YOU WILL REAP YOUR HARVEST IN DUE SEASON. YOU WILL NOT CAVE IN, FAINT, GIVE UP OR QUIT! GOD WILL NOT LET YOU BECAUSE HE IS HOLDING YOU UP UNTIL THAT GODLY HUSBAND GETS HERE AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. YOU WILL GET BACK ALL THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN OVER THE YEARS.) PSALMS 84:11 FOR THE LORD GOD IS A SUN AND SHIELD: THE LORD WILL GIVE GRACE AND GLORY: NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM THEM THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY. (THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING MY SUN AND SHIELD. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME GRACE AND GLORY. A GODLY HUSBAND IS SURELY A GOOD THING AND I THANK YOU FOR NOT WITHHOLDING HIM FROM ME.) HEBREWS 10:38 NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: BUT IF ANY MAN DRAW BACK, MY SOUL SHALL HAVE NO PLEASURE IN HIM. HEBREWS 10:35 CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR GREAT CONFIDENCE (FAITH), WHICH HAS GREAT RECOMPENSE (PAYBACK) OF REWARD. (CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR GREAT FAITH WHICH HAS GREAT PAYBACK.)GOD HAS PROVED TO ME MANY TIMES JUST HOW TRUE THIS IS! JEREMIAH 33:3 CALL UNTO ME, AND I WILL ANSWER THEE, AND SHOW THEE GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS, WHICH THOU KNOWEST NOT. (YOU HAVE CALLED UNTO HIM AND HE PROMISES HE WILL ANSWER YOU AND SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS THAT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT (YOUR GODLY HUSBAND AND THE REASON WHY HE IS PUTTING YOU WITH THIS PARTICULAR ONE. THE TWO OF YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT MINISTRY TOGETHER.) 1 JOHN 5:14-15 AND THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE (FAITH) THAT WE HAVE IN HIM, THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US: AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEAR US, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRED OF HIM. (I WOULD SAY THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE THAT GODLY HUSBAND IN THE BAG! WOULDNT YOU?) ISAIAH 55:10-11 FOR AS THE RAIN COMETH DOWN, AND THE SNOW FROM HEAVEN, AND RETURNETH NOT THITHER, BUT WATERETH THE EARTH, AND MAKETH IT BRING FORTH AND BUD, THAT IT MAY GIVE SEED TO THE SOWER, AND BREAD TO THE EATER: SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT. (LORD, YOUR WORD IS FULL OF POWER AND WE THANK YOU THAT ALL OF THE WORD I HAVE SPOKEN OVER THIS GODLY HUSBAND HAS NOT BEEN FOR NOTHING. YOUR WORD IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BRING THIS TO PASS FOR ME.) PHILIPPIANS 4:19 BUT MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL OF YOUR NEED ACCORDING

TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS. (YOUR NEED IS FOR A GODLY HUSBAND AND THE MIGHTY GOD YOU AND I SERVE, SHALL SUPPLY YOU WITH THAT NEED. THIS VERSE DOESNT JUST MEAN MONEY.) JOHN 10:10 THE THIEF COMETH NOT BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. (HAVING A GODLY HUSBAND IS SURELY LIVING AN ABUNDANT LIFE!) 2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 AND GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE (UNMERITED FAVOR) ABOUND TOWARD YOU; THAT YE, ALWAYS HAVING ALL SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS, MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK. (IN ORDER FOR YOU TO ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK, YOU NEED A GODLY HUSBAND TO BE BY YOUR SIDE TO BE YOUR PARTNER IN MINISTRY AND GOD WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH ONE.) PSALMS 34:9-10 OH FEAR (RESPECT) THE LORD, YE HIS SAINTS: FOR THERE IS NO WANT TO THEM THAT FEAR HIM, THE YOUNG LIONS DO LACK, AND SUFFER HUNGER: BUT THEY THAT SEEK THE LORD SHALL NOT WANT (LACK) ANY GOOD THING. (YOU SEEK THE LORD. I KNOW YOU DO! YOU WILL NOT LACK A GOOD AND GODLY HUSBAND BECAUSE THAT IS A GOOD THING.) PHILIPPIANS 4:13 I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENETH ME. (GOD WILL GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO HOLD ON AND TO CONTINUE SPEAKING HIS WORD AND HIS WILL OVER YOUR LIFE AND MINISTRY AND OVER YOUR GODLY HUSBAND.) MARK 5:36 BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE. (LORD, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID THAT HAVING A GODLY HUSBAND WILL NOT COME TO PASS. I KNOW THAT IT IS COMING TO PASS! I BELIEVE. I WILL NOT LET IN ANY DOUBT, UNBELIEF, FEAR, OFFENSE OR STRESS BECAUSE IT IS A TRAP FROM THE DEVIL TO STEAL THIS DREAM OF HAVING A GODLY HUSBAND. I WILL BE AWARE OF THE CARES OF THIS WORLD. I WILL NOT LET THEM STEAL MY TIME AWAY FROM YOU OR MY TIME AWAY FROM YOUR WORD. I REFUSE TO THINK SMALL (HALF WAY GOOD LOOKING, A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, GOES TO CHURCH ONCE IN A WHILE KIND OF HUSBAND). I KNOW YOU ARE NOT A SMALL GOD. YOU ARE A MIGHTY GOD, ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS NO MATTER HOW IMPOSSIBLE THEY LOOK. BESIDES, I KNOW I WOULD DISAPPOINT YOU IF I THOUGHT SMALL. I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH I TRUST YOU AND HOW MUCH I BELIEVE THAT YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN, YOU WILL AND YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THIS IMPOSSIBLE LOOKING THING FOR ME. I REFUSE TO LIMIT YOU. I REFUSE TO BE MOVED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE MADE A DECISION THAT I WILL ONLY BE MOVED BY WHAT YOU SAY IN YOUR WORD ABOUT THIS REQUEST!)

PSALMS 107:1-2 O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD: FOR HIS

MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER. LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO, WHOM HE HATH REDEEMED FROM THE HAND OF THE ENEMY; GENESIS 2:18 (LIVING BIBLE) AND THE LORD GOD SAID, "IT ISNT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE; I WILL MAKE A COMPANION FOR HIM, A HELPER SUITED TO HIS NEEDS". (IT IS NOT GOOD FOR WOMAN TO BE ALONE EITHER. SHE NEEDS A COMPANION, A HELPER SUITED TO HER NEEDS, ONE TO LOVE HER, STAND BY HER, ENCOURAGE HER, SERVE IN THE MINISTRY WITH HER, BE HER FRIEND, ETC., ETC.) JOHN 11:40 JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, SAID I NOT UNTO THEE, THAT, IF THOU WOULDEST BELIEVE, THOU SHOULDEST SEE THE GLORY OF GOD? (IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU WILL SEE THE GLORY OF GOD, YOU WILL SEE GOD COME THROUGH FOR YOU!) 2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YEA, AND IN HIM AMEN, UNTO THE GLORY OF GOD BY US. (GOD SAYS YES TO YOUR GODLY HUSBAND) JEREMIAH 32:27 BEHOLD, I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH: IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME TO DO? (LORD, THE ANSWER TO THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT! FINDING A GODLY HUSBAND FOR ME IS SURELY NOT TOO HARD FOR YOU TO DO.) ROMANS 4:17 HE (SHE) CALLED THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. (THANK YOU LORD FOR MY NEW GODLY HUSBAND!) ROMANS 4:20-21 HE (SHE) STAGGERED NOT AT THE PROMISE OF GOD THROUGH UNBELIEF; BUT WAS STRONG IN FAITH, GIVING GLORY TO GOD. AND BEING FULLY PERSUADED THAT, WHAT HE HAD PROMISED, HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM. (LORD, I STAGGER NOT AT YOUR PROMISE THROUGH UNBELIEF. I AM STRONG IN FAITH AND I PRAY THIS GIVES YOU MUCH GLORY AND HONOR. I AM FULLY PERSUADED THAT WHAT YOU HAVE PROMISED ME, YOU WILL BRING IT TO PASS. I AM EXPECTING THAT GODLY HUSBAND AND EAGERLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM.) HEBREWS 3:2 FOR UNTO US WAS THE GOSPEL PREACHED, AS WELL AS UNTO THEM; BUT THE WORD PREACHED DID NOT PROSPER THEM; NOT BEING MIXED WITH FAITH IN THEM THAT HEARD IT. (OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ AND HEARD THESE SAME SCRIPTURES OF FAITH DID NOT GET WHAT THEY NEEDED FROM GOD BECAUSE THEY DID NOT USE FAITH, THEY DID NOT BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAID IN HIS WORD.) HEBREWS 4:16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE IN TIME OF NEED.

PSALMS 68:19 BLESSED BE THE LORD, WHO DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS, EVEN THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION. (ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF SERVING GOD IS THAT HE CAN AND WILL AND IS GOING TO FIND YOU A GODLY HUSBAND!) JOB 22:28 THOU SHALT ALSO DECREE A THING, AND IT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED UNTO THEE: AND THE LIGHT SHALL SHINE UPON THY WAYS. (LORD, I DECREE THAT I SHALL HAVE A GOOD AND GODLY HUSBAND WHO PUTS YOU FIRST IN HIS LIFE AND WHO WILL LOVE ME LIKE YOU LOVE THE CHURCH, ONE WHO WILL ALWAYS STAY BESIDE ME TO ENCOURAGE, INSPIRE, LIFT UP AND TO HELP ME AT ALL TIMES AND ONE WHO WILL BE MY MINISTRY PARTNER IN WHATEVER YOU HAVE CALLED US TO DO.) 2 CORINTHIANS 4:13 WE HAVING THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN, WE ALSO BELIEVE, AND THEREFORE SPEAK. (I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE ME WITH A GODLY HUSBAND, THEREFORE I SPEAK IT.) PROVERBS 28:20 A FAITHFUL MAN (WOMAN) SHALL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS. (I SHALL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS BECAUSE I AM A VERY FAITHFUL WOMAN. A GODLY HUSBAND IS SURELY A BIG BLESSING!) ROMANS 8:32 HE THAT SPARED NOT HIS OWN SON, BUT DELIVERED HIM UP FOR US ALL, HOW SHALL HE NOT WITH HIM ALSO FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS? (IF I HAD TO PICK ONE SCRIPTURE TO GET THIS GODLY HUSBAND FOR YOU, IT WOULD BE THIS ONE. IF HE DIDNT WITHHOLD HIS ONLY SON, WHY WOULD HE WITHHOLD A GODLY HUSBAND FROM YOU?) PROVERBS 35:27 LET THEM SHOUT FOR JOY, AND BE GLAD, THAT FAVOR MY RIGHTEOUS CAUSE: YEA, LET THEM SAY CONTINUOUSLY, LET THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED, WHICH HAS PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY OF HIS SERVANT. (PRECIOUS LORD, I DO SHOUT FOR JOY AND I AM SURELY GLAD. I DEFINITELY FAVOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS CAUSE. I SAY CONTINUOUSLY, LET THE MIGHTY GOD I SERVE BE MAGNIFIED. THANK YOU LORD FOR HAVING PLEASURE IN MY PROSPERITY.) EXODUS 3:7-8 AND THE LORD SAID, I HAVE SURELY SEEN THE AFFLICTION OF MY PEOPLE WHICH ARE IN (BONDAGE) EGYPT, AND HAVE HEARD THEIR (HER) CRY BY REASON OF THEIR (HER)TASKMASTERS; FOR I KNOW THEIR (HER)SORROWS; AND I AM COME DOWN TO DELIVER THEM (HER) OUT OF THE HAND OF THE EGYPTIANS (BONDAGE), AND TO BRING THEM (HER) UP OUT OF THAT LAND UNTO A GOOD LAND AND A LARGE, UNTO A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY (TO A GODLY HUSBAND). (LORD, THANK YOU FOR SEEING MY AFFLICTION AND FOR HEARING MY CRY. THANK YOU FOR KNOWING MY SORROWS AND FOR COMING DOWN TO DELIVER ME AND FOR BRINGING ME OUT OF BONDAGE TO TOTAL FREEDOM TO GO AND DO WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED ME FOR.)

JOSHUA 1:8 THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF THY MOUTH; BUT THOU SHALT MEDITATE THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, THAT THOU MAYEST OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN THEREIN: FOR THEN THOU SHALT MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS. (I KNOW YOU ARE FAITHFUL IN SPEAKING GODS WORD OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN FINDING A GODLY HUSBAND!)

PSALMS 40:1-4 I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD; AND HE INCLINED UNTO ME, AND HEARD MY CRY.

AND ESTABLISHED MY GOINGS (YOU DIRECTED MY PATHS AND LED ME IN THE WAY THAT I SHOULD GO TO FIND MY NEW GODLY HUSBAND). NOT ONLY THAT BUT YOU PUT A BRAND NEW SONG OF PRAISE UNTO MY MOUTH. LORD, THIS WILL BE USED AS A MIGHTY TESTIMONY, MANY SHALL SEE IT AND HEAR ABOUT IT. IT WILL CAUSE THEM TO RESPECT AND TRUST YOU GREATLY. I AM VERY BLESSED BECAUSE I MAKE YOU MY TRUST AND I DONT RESPECT THE PROUD OR THOSE THAT LIE. THANK YOU PRECIOUS LORD FOR MOVING ME IN TO THE REALM OF THE MIRACULOUS!!! AMEN!!! Prayer & Scriptures For Those Involved In Court Cases Father, in the name of Jesus, it is written in Your Word to call on You and You will answer me and show me great and mighty things. I put You in remembrance of Your Word and thank You that You watch over it to perform it. I say that no weapon formed against me shall prosper and any tongue that shall rise against me in judgement I shall show to be in the wrong. This peace, security and triumph over opposition is my inheritance as Your child. This is the righteousness which I obtain from You, Father, which You impart to me as my justification. I am far from even the thought of destruction, for I shall not fear and terror shall not come near me. Father, You say You will establish me to the end - keep me steadfast, give me strength, and guarantee my vindication; that is, be my warrant against all accusation or indictment. Father, You contend with those that contend with me and You perfect that which concerns me. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and this secret place hides me from the strife of tongues for a false witness who speaks out lies is an abomination to You. I am a true witness and all my words are upright and in right standing with You, Father. By my long forbearing and calmness of spirit the judge is persuaded and my soft speech breaks down the hardest resistance. Therefore, I am not anxious beforehand how I shall reply in defense or what I am to say for the Holy Spirit teaches me in that very hour and moment what I ought to say to those in the outside world. My speech is seasoned with salt. I thank You, Father, that Satan and every menacing spirit are bound from operating against me for I am strong in You Lord and in the power of Your might quenching every fiery dart!

Thank You, Father, that I increase in wisdom and in stature and years, and in favor with You God and man. Praise the Lord! Jeremiah 33:3 Jeremiah 1:12 Psalms 31:20 Psalms 138:8 Proverbs 6:12 Proverbs 8:8 Proverbs 14:25 Proverbs 25:15 Isaiah 43:26 Isaiah 49:25 Isaiah 54:14 Isaiah 54:17 Matthew 18:18 Ephesians 6:10,16 Luke 2:52 Luke 12:11-12 1 Corinthians 1:8 Colossians 4:6

General Love Verses

Psalm 13:5 & 6 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me. Psalm 32:10 & 11 ...the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart! Psalm 33:22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you. Proverbs 21:21 He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor. Proverbs 20:28 Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure. Isaiah 43:4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

God's Love
Romans 5:2-5 We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 8:35, 38, 39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all

creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

For the Husband

Ecclesiates 9:7-9 (modified) Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do. Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this life that God has given you under the sun. Song of Songs 2:2 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens. Song of Songs 1:9-11 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh. Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.

Song of Songs 4:1-7 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Your neck is like the tower of David, built with elegance; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.

For the Wife

Song of Songs 1:2-4

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! Take me away with you-let us hurry! Song of Songs 2:3-9 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Listen! My lover! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. Song of Songs 7:9-12 May the wine go straight to my lover, flowing gently over lips and teeth. I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me. Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom- there I will give you my love.

Instructions for the Married Couple

Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 5:22-31 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church - for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." Hebrews 13:4 & 5 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Mark 10:7-9 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to

his wife, 8and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." 1 Peter 3:1-7 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Lord, this is my prayer, for my friends, and myself. As I thank you and praise you. I can only pray, humbly, that I would find mercy, and also give it. In the little things, and the big things. Yet, to speak and live in truth. Not deceptive to myself, you, or anyone else. True in thought, mind, and spirit, for thy glory. My King. Yes, I need favor, I need doors to open. I need to understand, and see your truth though, for any of this to be evident. In Jesus name. Amen LET NOT MERCY AND TRUTH FORSAKE THEE; BIND THEM ABOUT THY NECK. WRITE THEM UPON THE TABLE OF YOUR HEART. SO SHALT THOU FIND FAVOR AND GOOD UNDERSTANDING IN THE SIGHT OF GOD AND MAN.PROVERBS 3:5. For Favor Father, in the name of Jesus, You make Your face to shine upon me and enlighten me. You are gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to me. I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. Thank You for Your favor for me because I seek Your Kingdom and Your righteousness and diligently seek good. I am a blessing to You, Lord, and a blessing to _____________ (name them: family, neighbors, business associates, etc.). Grace (favor) is with me, because I love the Lord Jesus in sincerity. Because I am Your beloved child, You extend favor, honor, and love to

me, so that I am always flowing in Your love, Father. You are pouring out upon me the spirit of favor. You crown me with glory and honor, for I am Your childYour workmanship. I am a success today. I am someone very special with You. I am growing in Youwaxing strong in spirit. Father, You give me knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. You make me to find favor, compassion, and loving-kindness with _____________(names). I obtain favor in the sight of all who look upon me this day, in the name of Jesus. I am filled with Your fullnessrooted and grounded in love. You are doing exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think, for Your mighty power is taking over in me. Thank You, Father, that I am well-favored by You and by man, in Jesus name! Amen.

Ease any worries that may come my way. Father, you said not to worry about anything but instead to pray about everything and to tell you, my Heavenly Father and Jehovah Jireh, my Heavenly Provider, what I need and desire. Philippians 4: 6 Lord Jesus, I need your wisdom and understanding from on high. Your word guides and instructs me not to be tired and discouraged. It tells me not to give up so that I will be able to reap your bountiful blessings in the appointed time. Galatians 6: 9

Lord, you said if a man needs wisdom to ask you and you will gladly tell him and not resent the asking. Lord, I am asking. I need your wisdom and understanding. I expect to hear from you. Your word says that those who have doubtful minds should not expect to hear from you, Lord. So I come to you, Father, filled with hope and expectations of the great work that you are about to do in me, for me and around me. I am not doubtful. I am hopeful that you will hear my prayers and show me your favor. I come asking that you keep me strong and unwavering as I wait for you, my Lord. James 1:5

My dear Heavenly Father, hear my prayers. You are my strength and my salvation. Teach me and help me to be mindful and joyous in all things. Give me the steadfastness of Habakkuk. Take my eyes off of the difficulties I may face and focus my all on you, Lord. Habakkuk 3:1720 Lord, I believe that all things are possible with you. Your word tells me that there is nothing too hard for you; that what is impossible with man is possible with God. I put my faith in you, and you alone, Lord. Your teachings have taught me that I can pray for anything and if I believe I will have it. Lord, I believe that you are the Son of God and that you, Jesus, died for my sin although I am not worthy. I believe that all things are possible with, in and through you, My Lord Jesus Christ. Hear my prayers now, Lord. Mark 11:22-25 Lord, I know not to put my trust or my faith in man but in you alone. I trust your wisdom. Jesus, you instructed us to trust in you with all of our heart and not to depend on our own understanding. I trust you with every fiber of myself. I seek your will and purpose in my life. Now direct my path, O Lord. You already know my needs. Help me not to worry. Keep me focused on you as El Shaddaimy All Sufficient, Everlasting Source. Proverbs 3:5-6; Matthew 6:32-34 Lord, you said to keep asking and it will be given; keep looking and I will find it; to keep knocking at the door and it will be opened. Lord, I have been knocking, looking and asking for your wisdom, guidance and understanding to get through these obstacles before me; to bring me to my place of destiny in you. I am your child. Lord, open this door and let me pass with blessings and favor from your mighty Hands straight from Heaven above. Father, rain down your favor on me. Let it be such a downpour that I can not contain it all. Let it spill over onto your children around me. Matthew 7:7-11 Lord, give me the faith of the Roman soldier who asked you to heal his servant--to know that if you say it is so then it will be. Father, do not look away from me and cast me into darkness. Instead show your favor strong in me as only my Lord and savior can. Matthew 8: 5-13 Lord, I cry out to you to answer my prayers quickly. Answer me, Lord! I am desperate for you and you alone. Please do not turn from me. Show me my next step, then the next and the next and the next Never stop lighting my path. Give me eyes to see, feet to step, mind to obey, hands to do, heart to submit and love. Give me all the details of what to do just in time to do your will, Father. Allow me to move forward in my quests to glorify your kingdom with blessings, favor and firm footing in you, my Lord. Psalm 143:7-10 Lord, I know we can never avoid the strife we encounter in life. Come to me as my Jehovah Shalom, my Lord of Peace. Blanket my mind with your peacenot peace of this world but the perfect peace from your Heaven as I move forward in your Holy Name in quests for your kingdom. Strengthen, encourage and embolden me to cross any obstacles in my path, Father, not in my strength but in your strength and your strength alone. Isaiah 26: 3 Dear Lord, Bless me! Show me your favor. Keep your hand with me and increase my territory. Let no evil touch me or my ordained work for your kingdom. 1 Chronicles 4:10

Send your messenger, the Holy Spirit, to help me in all of my endeavors. As I move forward in you, let my life be a testimony of your faithfulness, mercy and grace. I pray this prayer in faith and in the name of my Lord and Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen Heavenly Father, I declare that I have your favor today I declare that I am strong and well able to fulfill my God given destiny; I know you are fighting my battles for me. I declare that I am a victor and not a victim. I may have been defeated in the past but the past is past, this is new day Your word says that I am the head and not the tail I will lend and I will not borrow Every thing I touch will prosper and succeed according to your perfect will because of your favor my Father. I declare that by your stripes I am healed today. I will live and not die. I declare that you are restoring health unto me, and with long life you satisfy me Father, today, I declare your favor in my relationship with you, favor in my relationship with my wife and my family, favor in relationships with my friends, and favor in relationships in my business. I want to thank you for causing me to be at the right place at the right time. I want to thank you for causing people to want to help me. Today, Father I want to thank you for blessing me with creativity, I want to thank you for causing me to make good decisions with a clear mind I declare that you are smiling down on me today and that your favor will be in everything I do because I am pleasing to you. I declare that I will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country, blessed coming in and blessed going out. I claim right now, Psalm 84:11 that you are blessing me with favor and honor and no good thing will you withhold from me because my walk is blameless. I claim Habakkuk 2:3 that my vision is for an appointed time. Though it may tarry, I will earnestly wait for it, for it will surely come. I declare today that I am filled with your can do power my Father. Between you and me, we are

the majority and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. I know that your Word says that, no man has seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things that you have in store for those that love you and I want to tell you this morning that I love you and I want to thank you for loving me. I want to thank you for your favor today, not because of who I am, but because of whose I am. I am a child of the most high God, the creator of the whole universe. I commit this day to you In Jesus name, Amen Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past, I have asked for many favors. This time, I ask you this very special one (mention favor). Take it dear Jesus and place it within your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine. Amen. Dear heavenly Father, Give me clean hands, clean words, and clean thoughts; Help me to stand for the hard right Against the easy wrong; Save me from habits that harm; Teach me to work as hard, And play as fair in thy sight alone, As if the whole world saw; Forgive me when I am unkind, And help me to forgive those who are unkind to me; And keep me ready to help others. by William De Witt Hyde O God, we thank Thee for this universe, our great home; for its vastness and its riches, and for the manifoldness of the life which teems upon it and of which we are part. We praise Thee for the arching sky and the blessed winds, for the driving clouds and the constellations on high. We praise Thee for the salt sea and the running water, for the everlasting hills, for the trees, and for the grass under our feet. We thank Thee for our senses by which we can see the splendor of the morning, and hear the jubilant songs of love, and smell the breath of the springtime. Grant us, we pray Thee, a heart wide open to all this joy and beauty, and save our souls from being so steeped in care or so darkened by passion that we pass heedless and unseeing when even the thorn-bush by the wayside is aflame with the glory of God. by Walter Rauschenbusch O God, help us to be generous in our opinions of others, to be considerate of all we meet, to be patient with those with whom we work, to be faithful to every trust, to be courageous in the face of danger, to be humble in all our living, to be prayerful every hour of the day, to be joyous in all life's experience, and to be dependent upon Thee for strength in facing life's uncertainties. O Thou who art the Way, the Truth, and the Life, we lift our hearts to Thee. Guide us in the Way this day, enlighten us with the Truth, and grant us the more abundant Life which Thou alone canst give. This we ask, not that we may selfishly get good or glory for ourselves, but that we may do good unto others and so glorify Thy name. Prayer by Howard Grose

Prayer by John Baillie

O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship. General Prayer Attributed To Thomas A Kempis Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know, to love what I ought to love, to praise what delights Thee most, to value what is precious in Thy sight, to hate what is offensive to Thee. Do not suffer me to judge according to the sight of my eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears of ignorant men; but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual, and above all, always to inquire what is the good pleasure of Thy will. by Samuel Johnson Almighty God, the Giver of Wisdom, without whose help resolutions are vain, without whose blessing study is ineffectual, enable me, if it be Thy will, to attain such knowledge as may qualify me to direct the doubtful and instruct the ignorant, to prevent wrongs, and terminate contentions; and grant that I may use that knowledge which I shall attain, to Thy glory and my own salvation. By C. Welton Gaddy God, forgive my incompleteness: not growing in Christ, not expanding my knowledge of the Scriptures, not developing all my talents. God, forgive my disinterest: a lack of concern for needs around me, apathy regarding the lostness of millions, blindness to hurts I could help heal. God, forgive my dishonesty: taking, the easy way rather than the right way, speaking in one manner while living in another, silencing truth to preserve tranquility, settling for less than what is best, loving tradition more than obeying your pioneering Spirit. God, forgive my loudness: talking when I should be listening, proclaiming when I should be studying, busying myself with new tasks when I should be finding a quiet place to rest. God, forgive my silence: feeling love and failing to whisper it, reeling with joy and not shouting hallelujah, knowing truth and forfeiting an opportunity to share it, sensing a need to share my faith and squelching the impulse. God, please forgive me. By C. Welton Gaddy Thank You, thank You, thank You, generous God! You have injected life with joy, thus we know laughter. You have dabbed creation with color, thus we enjoy beauty. You have whistled a divine tune into the rhythm of life, thus we hear music. You have filled our minds with questions, thus we appreciate mystery. You have entered our hearts with compassion, thus we experience faith. Thank You, God, Thank You. Thank You!

Dear God,

Help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief. Amen by Timothy Dailey

A Bedside Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Four corners to my bed, Four angels there aspread: Two to foot and two to head, And four to carry me when I'm dead. If any danger come to me, Sweet Jesus Christ deliver me. And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen. Thanksgiving For A Favor Received Thank You, O God, for hearing my prayer and granting my request. Thank You for all the kindness You have shown me. Thank You, Father, for Your great love in giving me my life, for Your great patience in preserving me despite my sinfulness, for Your protection in the past and for the opportunity to serve and honor You in the future. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for keeping me numberless times from sin and death by the toils of Your life, the sufferings of Your Passion, and by Your victorious Resurrection. Thank You, Holy Spirit of God, for bestowing so many graces upon my soul and for having so frequently renewed Your life within me. May my life, from now on, be a sign of my greatfulness. Amen. Prayer for Help (From: Praying God's Promises) Lord God, you are everything to me. My spirit rejoices in you, my Savior. Thank you for seeking me when I was lost and for finding me. Thank you for choosing me to go forth and bear lasting fruit in your name. Thank you for enabling me to bear fruit for you, Lord. Without you, I can do nothing. You are good, O Lord, and you are always ready to forgive. Thank you for your plentiful mercy in my life which I always receive when I call upon you. You are always there to help me; therefore, I will never be confounded. I have set my face like a flint, and I know that you will never let me be ashamed. You truly are a very present help to me, and I am receiving your help even now as I pray. Thank you, Father. You are my refuge and strength, and because this is true, I will not fear anything or anyone. You are in my midst, and I will not be moved. You are always there to help me speedily. You are with me, Lord. Knowing this, I will be still. I know that you are my God. Thank you for your constant help in my life, Lord.

Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace by Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith, Where there is despair, hope, Where there is darkness, light, Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, not so much to be understood as to understand,

not so much to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we awake to eternal life. Prayer of Healing (From: Praying God's Promises) Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise. I praise you, mighty Father. You forgive all my iniquities, and you heal all my diseases. Thank you, Lord. When I am sick, you send your Word, and it heals me and delivers me from all destructions. Your Word is life to me, and it brings healing to my flesh. Thank you for the healing power of your Word, Father. I will never let it depart from my eyes. I will keep your Word deeply implanted within my heart. Praise your name, holy Father. I love you, and I thank you for healing me and keeping me in good health. This is my prayer to thee By Rabindranath Tagore This is my prayer to thee, my lord- strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart. Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows. Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service. Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might- Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifle. And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love. Thank you God for creating ME! In your womb I have been fashioned; Your spirit dwells within me; Truly I am wonderfully marvelously made! From your love and wisdom have I come To this place and time. To me you have given talent and life and blessings. To me you have given tasks given to no others. With joy and gratitude I celebrate my much-honored existence. From ages past to eternity, I have been included in your divine plan. Thank you God for creating ME! Prayer In Time Of Sickness O Jesus, You suffered and died for us; You understand suffering; Teach me to understand my suffering as You do; To bear it in union with You; To offer it with You to atone for my sins And to bring Your grace to souls in need. Calm my fears; increase my trust. May I gladly accept Your holy will and become more like You in trial. If it be Your will, restore me to health so that I may work for Your honor and glory and the salvation of all. Amen. Prayer For The Sick
