Our Father
Which Art In Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
God in Heaven, we honor your Holy name. Your Word is Holy and makes much power available in
the earth.
God, we pray that you will give us knowledge of the reality of the world
in which you live.
Thy kingdom come.
Open up our spiritual understanding to the world in which we live. Allow your Kingdom to come in all of its
fullness. Give us wisdom to know how
to pray, according to your perfect will.
We declare our wills to be your will.
Your will for us is perfect.
Allow your will to dominate the working of our bodies.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven
We pray that every cell in our bodies will get into direct
alignment with Your perfect will. May
Your will to be done in our homes, careers, government, churches, and most of
all in our hearts. Your will be done in
all of the earth, just as it is done in heaven. We want to know how to use every moment to its fullest.
Whatever we prohibit on earth is prohibited in heaven,
and whatever we allow on earth is allowed in heaven. If two of us agree concerning anything we ask, our Father in
heaven will do it for us. Where two or
three of us gather together in Jesus name, He will be among us. Matt 18:18
Give us this day
our daily bread.
Give us this day the spiritual food in need. We do not take our lives for granted. Thank
you for giving us an opportunity to live in this life. Thanks for the gifts and talents that you
have given to us to live this life the way you want. Give us wisdom to know how not to waste our time. Help us to know what’s truly important. Keep us on the right track.
Give us today the food we need and wisdom to know how to choose the right
food to eat. Bless the food that we put
into our bodies. May we use the energy
that we get from our food to magnify your Word in the earth. Heal our bodies and make us well, restore
our youth. Refresh our souls and give
us a new out look toward life. Let the
Mind that was in Christ Jesus be in us.
Forgive us our debt
Have mercy on us, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because
of your great compassion, blot out the stain of our sins. Wash us clean from our guilt. Purify us from our
sin. For we were born a sinner from
the moment we were conceived. Therefore, we need you to cleanse and purify us
in our innermost being and teach us to be wise.
Purify us from our
sins, and we will be clean; wash us, and we will be whiter than snow. Give us back our joy again; you have broken
us--now let us rejoice. Remove the
stain of our guilt. Create in us a
clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within us.
God, do not
banish us from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit away from
us. Restore to us again the joy of
your salvation.
Forgive our debtors
Mal 3:9-12
10 Bring all the
tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you
do," says the LORD Almighty, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour
out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let
me prove it to you! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard
them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not shrivel before they are
ripe," says the LORD Almighty.
NLT
Lead us not into temptation,
Ex 15:25-26
26 "If you will listen
carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his
sight, obeying his commands and laws, then I will not make you suffer the
diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you." NLT
Deliver us from evil:
Ps 91:1 Those who live in the shelter of
the Most High
will find rest in
the shadow of the Almighty. 2 This I declare of the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. 3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect
you from the fatal plague. 4 He will
shield you with his wings. He will shelter you with his feathers. His faithful
promises are your armor and protection.
Ps 25:4 Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out the right

and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where
you live. 4 There I will go to the altar of God, to God--the
source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God,
my God! 5 Why am I discouraged? Why so sad? I will
put my hope in God! I will
praise him again--my Savior and my God! NLT
Ps119:133 Guide
my steps by your word, so I will not be
overcome by any evil. NLT
Prov 3:13 Happy is the person who finds wisdom and gains
understanding. 14 For the profit of wisdom is
better than silver, and her wages are better than gold. 15 Wisdom is more
precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16 She offers you life in her right hand, and riches and
honor in her left. 17 She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways
are satisfying. 18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are
those who hold her tightly.
19 By wisdom the LORD founded the
earth; by understanding he established the heavens. 20 By his knowledge the
deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the clouds poured down rain.
21 My child, don't lose sight of
good planning and insight. Hang on to them, 22
for they fill you with life and bring you honor and respect. 23 They keep you
safe on your way and keep your feet from stumbling. NLT
Ps91:5 Do not be afraid of the
terrors of the night, nor fear the dangers of the day, 6 nor dread the plague
that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you. 8 But
you will see it with your eyes; you will see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the LORD your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter, 10 no evil will conquer you; no plague
will come near your dwelling. 11 For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. 12 They will
hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they
call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them
and honor them. 16 I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my
salvation." NLT
Thine is the kingdom,

14 Then if my people

and heal their land. 15 I will listen to every prayer made in this
place, NLT

power went out from him, and they were all cured. NLT
Luke 9:1-2
The Lord gave them power and authority to cast out demons and to heal
all diseases. NLT
Ex 40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the
glorious presence of the LORD filled it. 35 Moses was no longer able to enter
the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the Tabernacle
was filled with the awesome glory
of the LORD.
36 Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle and
moved, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it. 37
But if the cloud stayed, they would stay until it moved again. 38 The cloud of
the LORD rested on the Tabernacle during the day, and at night there was fire
in the cloud so all the people of Israel could see it. This continued
throughout all their journeys. NLT
Moses Sees the LORD's Glory
Ex 33:11-23
12 Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me,
'Take these people up to the Promised Land.' But you haven't told me whom you
will send with me. You call me by name and tell me I have found favor with you.
13 Please, if this
is really so, show me your intentions so I will understand you more fully and
do exactly what you want me to do. Besides, don't forget that this nation is
your very own people."
14 And the LORD replied, "I will personally go with
you, Moses. I will give you rest--everything will be fine for you."
15 Then Moses said, "If you don't go with us
personally, don't let us move a step from this place. 16 If you don't go with
us, how will anyone ever know that your people and I have found favor with you?
How else will they know we are special and distinct from all other people on
the earth?"
17 And the LORD replied to Moses, "I will indeed do
what you have asked, for you have found favor with me, and you are my
friend."
18 Then Moses had one more request. "Please let me see
your glorious presence," he said.
19 The LORD replied, "I will make all my goodness pass
before you, and I will call out my name, 'the LORD,' to you. I will show
kindness to anyone I choose, and I will show mercy to anyone I choose. 20 But
you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live."
21 The LORD continued, "Stand here on this rock beside
me. 22 As my glorious presence passes by, I will put you in the cleft of the
rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed. 23 Then I will remove my
hand, and you will see me from behind. But my face will not be seen." NLT
Forever
Amen.
Ephesians 6:10
10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
We must always
remember at all times that our strength must come from the Lord's mighty power
from within us. We must be empowered
through our union with the precious Holy Spirit and draw strength from Him
alone. We put into use all of God’s
weapons that He has given us so that we will be able to safely fight against
all of the strategies and tricks of the Devil.
For we are not
fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without
bodies-the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and
great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of
wicked spirits in the spirit world.
So, let’s put into use all of
the weapons which God has given us so that we may effectively defeat demons
whenever they attacks, and when the battle is all over, we will still be
holding our grounds.
But to do
this, we will need the strong belt of truth and the breastplate of God's
approval. Wear shoes that are able to speed you on as you preach the Good
News of peace with God.
In every battle you will need
faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. And you will need the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit-which is the Word of God.
Pray all the
time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit's wishes. Plead with
him, reminding him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all Christians
everywhere. Pray for me, too, and
ask God to give me the right words as I boldly tell others about the Lord and
as I explain to them that his salvation is for the Gentiles too. TLB

Our
True Shepard
Psalms 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
is our True Shepherd who will provide and Supply us with all our daily
needs. Christ is our Leader and He will guide us
into all truths because the truths that we know will make me free. We are dependent
upon God’s Word to feed us with food for our spirit so we can grow up and
become aware of the Kingdom of Heaven.
I praise God for the protection that He gives us against Satan and all
of his offensive demons. We shall not want for anything because
God continues to meet all of our needs according to His riches in glory.
2
He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.
Christ makes me take time off to find much needed rest in
quiet places, so that I may experience the great benefits He has made available
for me in His Word. The Holy Spirit
leads me into the invisible Kingdom of God where I can lie down and find fresh
revelation; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. [Rev 7:17.]
3
He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's
sake.
He refreshes and restores my
lives; He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right
standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your
rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs
over. Surely or only goodness,
mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through
the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling
place.
Seek the
Lord
Isaiah 55
"Is
anyone thirsty? Come and drink--even if you have no money! Come, take your
choice of wine or milk--it's all free! 2 Why spend your money on food that does
not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen, and I
will tell you where to get food that is good for the soul!
3 "Come to me with your ears
wide open. Listen, for the life of your soul is at stake. I am ready to make an
everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the mercies and unfailing
love that I promised to David. 4 He displayed my power by being my witness and
a leader among the nations. 5 You also will command the nations, and they will
come running to obey, because I, the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, have
made you glorious."
6 Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is
near. 7 Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their
minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the LORD that he may
have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 "My thoughts are completely
different from yours," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond
anything you could imagine. 9 For just as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your
thoughts.
10
"The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to
water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry. 11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it
always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper
everywhere I send it. 12 You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and
hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
13 Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where briers grew,
myrtles will sprout up. This miracle will bring great honor to the LORD's name;
it will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.
Jesus Christ is the Way to the God
Don't be
worried and upset. Just continue to
trust in God and also trust in The Word of God, because The Word of God, God,
and the Son of God are all one and the same.
There are many areas in God’s House, and I AM has prepare a place for
each one of us. When everything is
ready in God’s House, Christ will come and get us so that we will always be
where He is. And we will know how to
find Him and also know how to get to where He is, because the Word of God
through the Power of the Holy Spirit will show us the way.
The
Word of God is the Way to enter into Life.
He knows the way and He will lead us into an abundant Life that only God
can give. God’s Word longs to make
Himself known to each one of us, all we must do is meditate upon His Promises
and hide His sayings deep within our hearts. God’s Word lives within our hearts and He is known as the
Great I AM who works out the will of God in each of our lives.
"The truth
is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even
greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I
will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father. Yes, ask anything in my name, and I will
do it!
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
"If you love me,
obey my commandments. And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all
truth. The world at large cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him
and doesn't recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later
will be in you.
Jesus will never
abandon us nor forsake us, He will come to us. However, the world can not see Him, but we can. Jesus is alive, and we live through
Him. Jesus was raised from the dead
through the Power of the Holy Spirit, and He has come to live in us, and we in
Him, in the form of the Holy Spirit.
21 Those who obey my commandments are the ones who love me. And because
they love me, my Father will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal
myself to each one of them."
25 I am telling you these things now while I am
still with you. 26 But when the Father
sends the Counselor as my representative--and by the Counselor I mean the Holy
Spirit--he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I myself
have told you.
27 "I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and
heart. And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be
troubled or afraid. 28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will
come back to you again. If you really love me, you will be very happy for me,
because now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am. 29 I have told
you these things before they happen so that you will believe when they do
happen.
30 "I don't have much more time to talk to you, because
the prince of this world approaches. He has no power over me, 31 but I will do
what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the
Father. Come, let's be going.
Hebrews 11
1 Great Examples of Faith
What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is
going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. 2 God gave his
approval to people in days of old because of their faith.
3 By faith we understand that the
entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come
from anything that can be seen.
6 So, you see, it is impossible to please God
without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God
and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
The Kingdom of God

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV

findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Light of the Body

is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil,
thy body also is full of darkness.

all the commands I have given you today, 3 then the LORD your God will restore
your fortunes.

obey the LORD and keep all the commands I am giving you today. 9 The LORD your
God will make you successful in everything you do.

your fields will produce abundant harvests, for the LORD will delight in being
good to you as he was to your ancestors.

hear and obey it?' 13 It is not beyond the sea, so far away that you must ask,
'Who will cross the sea to bring it to us so we can hear and obey it?' 14 The
message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you
can obey it.

prosperity and disaster, between life and death.

James 1:2-8
2 Dear brothers and sisters,
whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. 3 For when
your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow,
for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and
ready for anything.
5 If you need wisdom--if you want
to know what God wants you to do--ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will
not resent your asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect
him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is
driven and tossed by the wind. 7 People like that should not expect to receive
anything from the Lord. 8 They can't make up their minds. They waver back and
forth in everything they do. NLT
James 1:12-16
12 God blesses the people who
patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that
God has promised to those who love him. 13 And remember, no one who wants to do
wrong should ever say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to
do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else either. 14 Temptation comes from the
lure of our own evil desires. 15 These evil desires lead to evil actions, and
evil actions lead to death. 16 So don't be misled, my dear brothers and
sisters.
NLT
James 4:7-10
7 So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw close to God, and God will
draw close to you. 10 When you bow down before the Lord and admit your
dependence on him, he will lift you up and give you honor.
NLT
1 Sin's Power Is Broken
Romans 6
Since we have been united with him
in his death, we will also be raised as he was. 6 Our old sinful selves were
crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no
longer slaves to sin.
7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of
sin. 8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also share his new life.
9 We are sure of this because Christ rose from the dead, and he will never die
again. NLT
KJV
Heb 11:1
11:1 Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that
the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were
not made of things which do appear.
KJV
Heb 11:6
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.
KJV
1 Life
in the Spirit
Romans 8
10 Since Christ lives within you,
even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit is alive because you
have been made right with God.
11 The Spirit of God, who raised
Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as he raised Christ from the dead,
he will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you.
The Future Glory
18 Yet what we suffer now is
nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. 19 For all creation is
waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children
really are 23 And even we Christians,
although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also
groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that
day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies
he has promised us.
24 Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom.
For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it. 25 But if we
look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and
confidently.
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we
don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy
Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And
the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit
pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. 28 And we know that God
causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are
called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in
advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the
firstborn, with many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called
them to come to him. And he gave them right standing with himself, and he promised
them his glory.
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it
mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted,
or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death?
38 And I am convinced that nothing
can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels
can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow,
and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away.
39 Whether we are high above the
sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to
separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NLT
We’ve come this far by faith
