GLORY BE TO GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."    Revelation 4:11  (N.I.V.)

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, to You be the glory and honor, to You be the glory and honor, to You be the glory and honor! And to Jesus our Lord and Savior! Thank You Father God for super abundance, for divine creativity and divine wisdom and understanding. Thank You for joy and peace and happiness. What an awesome God You are! You work through us and in us. Your Holy Spirit is at work constantly in us. Help me to understand and share the wisdom You are giving me to Your Glory. I confess all my sins Lord God and I thank You for forgiving me. I pray and ask that You take away my desire to do what is wrong and that You protect my mind from  wrong thoughts that cause me to sin. Thank You for the wisdom in Your Word. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem according to Your Word. In the name of Yeshua, Jesus our Lord Savior, make it so....

His Spirit is at work in all of us who believe. Faith, really believing,  in His finished work on the cross will set us free from guilt and condemnation and open the door for His supernatural blessings to be manifest in our lives. Then wrong desires and thoughts will gradually fade away from our lives and we will experience His salvation, (Sozo). Which is much more than being saved from "hell", but means abundant life, peace, and freedom here in this world as well as in the next. Let His Spirit in! Just ask Him!

HELP ME LORD

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and  may please Him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened in all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light."    (Colossians 1:10-12) N.I.V.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for all my blessings and the provisions You supply me. You are my source and my Shepherd, I shall not lack any good thing. Help me to have patience while I wait on others, certain family members who are slow to act, and help me to think in a positive light that they will do what is right concerning our Dad's estate. Let them be fair and honest in there dealings with all the heirs concerned. Regardless of what they do help me to react in a way that will bring glory and honor to Your name knowing that You are the Rewarder and Your blessings are far greater than anything else in this world. Turn their hearts from greed to fairness and let them not be cursed for dealing in a dishonest way with all of us concerned. Give me wisdom in this and all matters according to Your Word and help me to be a light to them who may choose what is wrong. Grant me serenity and peace in my mind and heart knowing that You are in control and everything will work out for the good for those of us who are putting our faith in You. Thank You Father God for always hearing and answering my prayers. You are awesome and I thank You for drawing me ever closer to You by Your Word and Your Spirit. Bless me Father with all good things to be a blessing to others and bring glory and honor to Your name. Bless me with divine creativity and great ideas that will bless my family and even people that I don't know. Thank You Lord, in the name of Jesus, Yeshua, our Lord and King, make it so.... 

Those of you who read this prayer I ask that you come into agreement with me in this matter of my Dad's estate and other matters concerning the distribution of money and property that Dad left to be divided among his heirs. Dad had 5 kids with 3 wives and there are concerns that his estate may not be settled fairly and according to his wishes. Things like this have been known to cause brothers and sisters to disown and be at odds with each other. I pray that this does not happen to us. Let fairness be the rule here and everyone concerned be in agreement with the outcome.

For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and death."   Romans 8:1-2  (Amplified Bible)

Thank You Father God, for Your Word and all the peace and comfort and wisdom and joy it brings us.

Thank You Jesus! Thank You Jesus! I praise Your Holy name! I am free! No more guilt and condemnation. Help me to now be a better person, to bring glory and honor to Your name. This is the Gospel (good news). This is what no other God can do for us but our Lord, our King, our God, Jesus, the Messiah. Thank You Father for sending Your Son to die for our sins in our place. In the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen...
