Prayer topics Cleanse, Fill, Empower Me, Please, Lord Please - And Thank You! Do I Really Have the Right to Hear Your Voice? ...(Oh, Thank You For Speaking to Me - I Love You!) Cleanse, Fill, Empower Me, Please, Lord Date: January 6, 2007 I have finished today’s reading – Genesis 6, Ezra 6, Matthew 6, Acts 6. So what I want to know is, why don’t we see Your power now like in the past? Maybe we are just in the wrong place? No, You are with Your people wherever they are. It must be, I’m sure it is, because we – including I – do not follow You as I should, do not keep myself crucified, do not repent of my sins and seek Your cleansing as I should, do not constantly seek Your face, do not seek the filling (constant filling and refilling) of Your Spirit, do not trust and obey and praise and give thanks and worship – and pray! Forgive me, please, Lord. Cleanse me, dear God. Please draw me ever nearer to You. Please cleanse my heart, forgive me of my selfishness and my lack of trust and praise and thanks and worship and obedience. Please clean me out and then please keep on filling me – full and overflowing with Your Spirit. Please help me love and obey and trust and follow You all the days of my life. Thank You, Lord. Amen. Return to the top  Please - and Thank You! Date: January 8, 2007 Dear Heavenly Father Thank You for Your love! Thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness! Oh Lord, please forgive me – thank You for forgiving me already – and oh please fill me with Your Holy Spirit today, this minute, and on and on. Dear God, You know my weaknesses, You know how much TV I’ve watched lately, and the bad dreams I’ve had as a consequence. You know all about it. I’ve already talked to You. I couldn’t even express in words or even think clearly about what was going on these last few days in my mind (and heart). Oh dear God, forgive me for not drawing close to You every day. “I need You, oh I need You, every hour (minute! Second!) I need You. Take me now, my Saviour, I come to Thee.” Thank You. Oh dear God, please draw my children to You – and their families. Oh dear God, please help them follow You with all of their hearts for all of their days! Thank You, Lord! (And yes, it has to be all about You!). Oh dear God, please pour out Your Holy Spirit upon all of my family – my children and their families, my husband, me – and both our extended families, too. And our church family – and all whom You would call to Yourself! Oh dear God, please do Your will. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Praise Your Holy and precious Name, dear Lord Jesus, dear Father God, dear Holy Spirit – dear God, 3 persons in one. Thank You, in Jesus’ precious name, Who gave His all for me! Thank You! Make me like You, dear Jesus! Thank You! Please! Amen! Return to the top Do I Really Have The Right to Ask to Hear Your Voice? ...Oh, Thank You for Speaking To Me! I Love You! Date: January 14, 2007 After working on my "prayers and meditations" for the website last night, I keep wondering - wishing for, I think, but scared to ask because it has been so long - if You have something You want to say to me, something You want me to record with pen and paper, something that is a message for me, but maybe also a message and encouragement for others, as You said that that message of 2004 that I was reading last night? Lord?? (Lord, I am hearing/feeling a "voice in my head" saying that maybe - or surely even - I don't have a right to ask for such a thing because my spirit is not right with Your Spirit, because I have wandered too far away, and my soul so dity and dark and polluted, and so You can't use me. Lord, I don't think it is Your voice saying that - I'm sure it is not, but rather the enemy working with my fleshly self, trying to "guilt" me and discourage me and sidetrack me - but it's true, I do need to ask - and right now I am asking - You to please forgive me for getting sidetracked and distracted, and even choosing (so often) the things of the world (movies, for example, and food vs fasting, and lots of other stuff) instead of You. Please, dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me, and cleanse out all the darkened, sooty, blackened parts of my spirit, body and soul, please make me white as snow by the saving blood of Jesus, and then please, please, fill up every single corner and crack and crevice of my being with the fulness of Your Holy Spirit - and keep on filling so no empty gaps develop - so that the enemy has no place in me in which to gain a foothold or even a fingertip hold! Oh dear God, pleae forgive me, please fill me, please strengthen me, please help me to wait upon You always, to walk in Your Presence every moment (like Brother Lawrence -- no, even more, like Jesus, my Lord and Saviour and Master and Example and Guide.) Oh, dear Holy Spirit of Christ, take me over completely, become "Christ in me" fully and completely, every moment, in every aspect of my life. Thank You, Lord God - Father God, Jesus my Lord and Saviour, Holy Spirit my guide and teacher and Jesus in me! I love You, Lord! Thank You! And Lord, I really do long to hear Your voice - Your Word, to me - and to Your people, too, if that be Your will and Your purpose and Your design. Thank You, dear Heavenly Father, dear Lord Jesus, dear Holy Spirit and guide -- my Lord and God and Creator and my purpose for being! Thank You! Amen! ******* My dear child, Just let your pen roll across the paper and let it record the words I would give through you. I have been waiting patiently for you to come, kneeling humbly before Me, to let Me use you for the purposes for which I have created you, and to show My love to you as you will allow and accept Me to do so. I am your Father God, and you are my daughter, my precious little child. I am the Good Shepherd and you are my dear little lamb. I long to pick you up in my arms and carry you, hold you, comfort you, give you the true love and rest and peace for which you long, the rest for which you crave. I long to take away your seemingly never-ending tiredness, exhaustion, discouragement, and sadness, and replace it with My rest and comfort and care and mercy, My lovingkindness alive and active and continuous in your life. Only submit to Me, My child. Only give up all traces of your self, let go of the little bits and pieces you still hang on to. Let Me take full and permanent and total control of every aspect of your life. Follow My schedule for your life. Let Me be your path, your journey, your fulfillment, your success, your all-in-all. I know it is not easy for you, My child. I know how strongly the world - the enemy of your soul, satan himself - pulls at you, pounds on you, argues with you, tries to deceive you, tries to pull you away from Me. And yes, he does hate Me, and he hates and longs to destroy all who would follow Me, who would be My children truly and fully and completely. But oh, My child, oh don't ever forget that I have given My own dear, precious Son, Jesus. Don't forget that in giving up His life, in sacrificing Himself, in going through that ultimate pain of separation from Me, and that horrible, cruel, hateful pain from men who should have known better, who should have indeed recognized Him as Lord and Master and King - because of His sacrifice, you, My child - and all else who would come to Me and accept the salvation and love and grace I offer - for each one of you the victory is won, the enemy is conquered, your sins are forgiven, you are My children now and forever, eternally one in unity with Me. **** Yes, all I can think to say is Thank You, oh Thank You, My Saviour, My Creator, My King of kings, Lord of lords, My God and Father - Father, Son, Holy Spirit - One God, now and forever mine! Praise Your Holy Name! Oh Thank You, Lord! Amen! Return to the top |
