SUNDAY PRAYER-PRAISE AND WORSHIP SERVICE 19 (TRUSTING GOD)

SUNDAY PRAYER-PRAISE AND WORSHIP SERVICE 19 (TRUSTING GOD)

FINDING PEACE AND STRENGTH BY TRUSTING GOD

Good Morning Children of God, if it’s Sunday, it is time for you to get your Praise on and we are here to help you do just that.  God wants us to praise Him not just some times but at all times.  We must be willing to lift Him up in high Praise no matter what the situation may be in our lives.  Now let’s begin our praise Service with Psalm 150 performed by The Jubilation Gospel Choir.

This is truly a powerful message, and when you learn to praise God in the manner the Bible teaches us to do, don’t be surprise when God opens the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that your bank account cannot contain.

Our Messenger for today’s service is:  SISTER SHIRLEY RHODES

LET US PRAY!  Heavenly Father, we lift up our Holy Hands and Bow our Heads before the throne of grace in honor of you Father, giving you all the Praise and Glory, for you are truly worthy to be praised.  We thank you Father for this special honor of being placed in a position to minister your word of truth to all the people you bring into this ministry week in and week out to receive your word of truth.  Father we pray that you will pour a special blessing out over each one of their lives, strengthen them where they are weak, healing them that are sick and flicked,  fill the stomachs of those that are hunger and thirsty.  Bring Salvation to those that are loss and drowning in sin. Use me Heavenly Father as your Servant, that all your Children may see in me your good works that they too may come before the throne of grace and cry out, “I yield, I yield, I yield, take me Father, for I too want to serve you anyway I can. In Jesus name, Amen!

God has brought us through the trials  and tribulations of another week, giving us one more opportunity to praise and worship Him.  He gave me a message to give to you, and this is the Message that God placed on my heart and commanded me to speak it to all His Children where ever they may be.  The Message God has given me is titled:   FINDING PEACE AND STRENGTH BY TRUSTING GOD

Joy (gladness):  God is your salvation, strength, joy, and a  song in your heart when you know that he is in every-thing you set forth to do.  You can say to your soul, God is my salvation; I will trust him, I will not be afraid; therefore, you will draw water out of the wells of salvation (Isaiah: 12: 2-3).

As you set aside time to study and pray, free of distractions you find yourself in a position of revelation and receiving strength to move forward within the obstacle course of life. Even in the process there will  always be moments you will  feel the intense presence of the Holy Spirit, that’s when you are assured  God’s favor is life, weeping may endure for a night but joy (singing) comes in the morning along with peace.

In Joy trust the Lord because he has made it known, I will instruct you and teach you in the way you are to go, I will guide you with my eye (Psalm32:8).  No weapons formed against you shall prosper when you allow God to be the center of your life.

Joy should be one of your first praises when you wake and arise in the morning. Ask God to bring rain into drought stricken lives so that we all are able to start our day with praise and thanksgiving for his blessings. Thank him for your wellbeing and insight into his unlimited mercy and grace.

Look at your physical body and be thankful that he chooses your temple as a place for his Spirit to dwell in. Let joy flow freely through your thoughts, attitudes, and character filled with fresh anointing as you embrace the splendid blessings of how beautiful and special you are in Gods’ eyes.

Joy allows us to awake every morning to directions and life filled with promise. You may face obstacles that seem unbearable through-out or at some point during your assigned journey and think “How in the world am I capable of accomplishing such a task?”

Think on this: The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road. The life maps of God are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain… (Psalm: 19: 7-9, MGS).

Trust God, release whatever it is that seems to cause you to struggle, relax  and watch him work, he will fulfill your joy at the time appointed; not your will but His will be done.

So, when you’ve come to the close of your day, week, month, and year, allow words of praise to flow freely to the One who has been your guide along the way. Better yet; Come, let’s shout praises to God, and let’s march into his presence singing praises, worship and bow before him because we are the people he pastures, the flock he feeds (Psalm: 95: 1-7). He is so worthy of all praise!

LET US PRAY!  Father I thank you for using me as your messenger in this Prayer, Praise and Worship Service today. I thank you for all the people who took the time to fill their minds with your word of truth this morning. We ask you Heavenly Father to bless our leaders and our Nation and the World Body that we all may live in Peace and Contentment. In Jesus name, Amen!

Now let us leave you with this short Inspirational Video that it may fill any void that may be in your life at this very moment.

Thank you for visiting with us today and everyday that you enter into this ministry.  We are here as Servants of God to serve you and for-fill the Great Commission of Matthews 28:19-20.  We love you and truly do appreciate each one of you, may God add a blessing to your life this day.  In Jesus name, Amen!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE OF PRAISE GENESIS 17:15-17

And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.  I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.”  Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

LET US PRAY:  Heavenly Father, thank you for the blessings of Abraham, thank you for my blessing as your Servant and Messenger for this day. Use me to bless the lives of all the people that take the time to partake of this message, in Jesus name, Amen!

Today I just want to take a few minutes of your valuable time as a Mother that understands what it is like to be a Mother and raise her Children in these very difficult times that we live in.  I speak to you on the subject, “Mother is God’s Gift by Design!”  When we study the scriptures, starting with Eve the Mother of all living, we quickly discover that a Mother is a gift that often goes unseen, a chosen vessel of service, created  with tenderness of heart, a loving spirit, filled with dignity, instilled with wisdom, firmly rooted in faith and love, and is known by her attributes  of strength, patience and endurance that enables her to carry out her assigned mission. Many words can be used to describe Mother, because she is a gift from God. A gift: to be honored, respected, loved and cherished, through admiration of character.

When a baby is born the first instinct of a Mother is to inspect, touch and hold the baby close, she often will shed tears of joy. Throughout biblical history there are stories of Mothers and their sacrifice; Mothers who gave birth to kings and queens, royal linage passed down through-out generations.

THE LOVE OF A MOTHER (PHOTO BY PASTOR DAVIS)

THE LOVE OF A MOTHER (PHOTO BY PASTOR DAVIS) MY GRAND DAUGHTER MAXINE ALEXANDER BYARS

Consider Moses’ Mother Jochebed, who, when the order came from Pharaoh to kill all male infants, hid him for three months, but, was then forced to abandon him in a basket of bulrushes among the reeds beside the banks of the Nile, only to be the one to nurse him as belonging to someone else.  Elizabeth,  Mother of John, known as the precursor of Jesus who was later beheaded  and Mary the Mother of Jesus, who was hung on a cross, were all women of distinction, a Mother, God’s Gift by Design.

A mother is chosen to carry the baby in her womb and through that process a bond occurs that nothing or no one can take away. Mothers may give their child up for adoption or may choose to not be an active participant in their lives through circumstance or choice, but that does not remove their status as Mother.

Gods’ design for Mothers is to be models of goodness by setting examples as the keeper of home, to be virtuous and pure, loving and kind always encouraging others.

A Mother is a model of discipline and strong character and she reverence God in her teachings. A Mother avoids idleness, gossip, always setting an example and helping to guide others she may encounter.

A Mother is many women; teachers, doctors, lawyers, business executives, stay-at-home moms; the list is endless as to her capabilities. The role of Mother follows many paths and is done so in such a way that she is able to understand the needs of others. Strength, dignity, and grace are her badge of honor; she is adored by her family. Gods’ design for Mother is not determined by labels of who she is because he has created her for his purpose.  As she grow in wisdom and grace her beauty shines through as a tower of hope and strength for those who may not have as of yet mastered the skill.

Remember it’s Mothers’ Day, take a moment to pick up the telephone and call, stop by for a visit and take her something special, sit and talk for “a spell, ”you never know where you will be next Mothers’ Day. Make the moment magical and watch her smile, you’ll be glad you did, because she is your Mother, Gods’ Gift by Design.

Thank you for your attention and comprehension of this message, may God bless you throughout this Mother’s Day. As you attend your local church this day, take the time to hug a Mother and tell them that they are special and that you love them.  May the grace of God watch over you and keep you ever so strong, in Jesus name, Amen!

Now let us close with Israel and New Breed, singing Jesus at the Center.

THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF A MOTHERS’ LOVE

Today marks the beginning of our week long Celebration Honoring all Mothers for their many great contributions to all of us in this Universe.  One of the problems that too many of us have is that we take our Mother’s for granted.  This week’s long Celebration is meant to bring attention to the Women of the world and especially the Mothers.  If you are not a Mother today, one day you will be, therefore, we all must learn how to share in your pain and suffering as well as the joy and pleasure you receive and we receive from being your Sons and Daughters.

When we come into the full knowledge and understanding that you are truly one of God’s greatest creation, and He endowed you with many gifts, the greatest gift of all was the gift to conceive the seed of a brand new life.  For that reason along, we take this time to stand back and reflect upon your uniqueness to the world and all that you bring to the table that helps to transform this world into what it is today.

LET US PRAY:  Eternal God, our Heavenly Father, we thank you for sharing with us the gift of a Mother’s

We invite each of you to share your thoughts and opinions here daily honoring all the Mothers of the World.  When you bless our Mothers, God will add a blessing to you.  The choice is yours.  Give and it shall be given unto you.  Thank you for reading and sharing.

Good Morning Children of God, if it’s Sunday, it is time to enter into our Virtual Church for our Prayer, Praise and Worship Service.  Are you ready to give God your heart, worship Him and Praise Him this Morning?

LET US PRAY!  Eternal God, our most precious and Holy Father, the Father of all life in the Universe, we enter into your present this morning, seeking your blessings over our Nation and all its inhabitants. Father, there is much trouble in the land, your children are suffering from fears of their safety been invaded, and lack of the basic substances of not enough food to feed their families, clean fresh water in short supply and being able to find jobs that will help them provide  shelter for their families.  Our government leaders seem to be paralyzed when it comes to making the correct decisions that will help the least among us to lift them out of poverty and bring this nation together as one people.  Father I pray for divine intervention into the lives of all your Children this day.  I speak healing into their physical bodies, I speak revelation over all that they desire to have changed in their lives.  I speak restoration for our Nations and its leaders to be lifted up into the light that they may see the suffering and harm that they are bring into the lives of your children and this great nation of ours.  And in seeing, they will be transformed by the renewing of their minds and they will become Spirit filled in ways that would be unimaginable in other times.  Let the power of your divine Spirit invade our Nations as it provides all your children with peace and joy for another day.  It is in the name of Jesus that we seek these blessings this day, as we lift you up Heavenly Father, in Prayer, Praise and Worship.  Amen, Amen, Amen!

Now it is time to lift up our Holy Hands and Praise God.  Join me with my favorite Praise Team leader, Brother Ron Kenoly as he lifts us up higher on the SOLID ROCK.

Now it is time for our Message for today, delivered by God’s Messenger, Pastor Davis speaking to you on the subject, “STOP LIVING IN FEAR-LACK AND LIMITATION!” 

LET US PRAY:

Most Holy God, our heavenly Father, open our hearts and minds that the lesson you have for us today will penetrate deep into our souls and heal the wounds that have been inflicted upon us. Bind up our broken hearts in order that our Spiritual Eyes and Ears may be open to the truth of your teaching this day, in Jesus name I pray, Amen!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

In today’s lesson, this is what the Scriptures teach us, it says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7 KGV)  Do you believe this truth of God’s Holy Word?  If you believe,  I encourage you to hold onto that thought and listen to the message God wants you to partake of as you study his word today and the rest of this week.  Click on this video clip and be blessed.

LET US PRAY:  Heavenly Father, we thank you for opening the windows of Heaven and pouring out a blessing upon your Children that took the time to be a part of this Sunday Prayer Praise and Worship Service.  Now may the Holy Spirit watch over them, guide them and teach them your ways as they walk out their purpose in this life, in Jesus name, AMEN!

Let me remind you that beginning Monday Morning, we will begin a week long celebration service honoring our dear Mothers from around the globe.  Please join with us each day and share your thoughts and prayers with one of our most precious resources and that is our Mothers.  For the Bible teaches us to honor our Mothers that our days will be long upon this earth.  Each one of you can be a part of this celebration by returning here daily and sharing a word with out tens of thousand readers from all over the world.

Thank each one of you for been a part of another Sunday Prayer and Praise Service. If this service has blessed you, why not share it with others as your blessing over their lives this day.  For this is truly the first day of the rest of your life.  Be Blessed My Friends!

LET US PRAY AND CONSIDER LIFE

LET US PRAY AND CONSIDER LIFE

WRITTEN BY SHIRLEY RHODES

A Proverb 31 woman is a Woman of Prayer

A Proverb 31 woman is a Woman of Prayer

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, so why not pause your busy body and mind, you’re going and coming; go into your prayer closet and pour your heart out before God as you consider your life and where you are in it this day.  God is in the prayer answering busy and He wants to answer your prayers and show you how you can live a joyful, peaceful, and prosper in all you do.

Let’s consider life and how we may see it.

Every individual is entitled to their own opinion and or belief; no matter what, we all believe in something or someone. The Holy Bible, the written Word of God is studied and shared throughout the world. In it you find instructions for living life filled with hopes and dreams for all humanity, as well as wisdom teachings.

Let’s consider life:

When we take time to explore scripture, pray first and ask for revelation and understanding; you’ll find that when you do so in a quiet place the Word opens up and you’re able to grasp the true meaning of how life is a blessing from God, a blessing to be enjoyed and shared.  Remember Jesus’ teaching about the value and importance of love for each other. Once we are able to grasp the true definition of how that love operates we come into a deeper understanding about life.

Let’s consider life:

The book of Ecclesiastes provides us with a glimpse into the reality of this earthly journey. Once you’ve immerse yourself into the reading you’ll soon gain an understanding of our delicate nature. We are encouraged to make the most of what God gives; Life.  Advice such as, take care of yourself, have a good time and make the most of  whatever life you are privileged to share. We should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what’s given and delighting in the work. It is “God’s” gift in the present, the now. It’s useless to brood over how long we might live. Jesus says he came so that we might have life, an abundant life. When we consider life, are we ourselves restricting the flow of God’s blessings designed especially for each one of us in due season?  We work to feed our appetites; meanwhile our souls go hungry.

Let’s consider life:

We are reminded in scripture; don’t fret or worry; instead pray–let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayer, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life (Philippians 4:5-7 MGS).

 

So when we consider life and become familiar with the process of how faith works we are able to experience growth in all areas of our lives, because we have a true friend in Jesus who promised to meet all our needs. He even lets us know how to approach the process, “Ask, and it shall be given; seek and you shall find; knock and the door will open for you”(Matthew 7:7 KJV). Unlock your door, open wide and receive the promise  by opening the Word of God and applying the teachings found there as you journey and live in your purpose. Let’s consider life and become a part of the pattern laid out by our Master Jesus.

JESUS SAID, “UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH” (PHOTO BY PASTOR DAVIS)

Good Morning Children of God, it is Sunday Morning and that could mean only one thing and that it is time to lift our Holy Hands and Praise God and then Worship Him with all our Body, Soul and Mind.  It is time to get your Praise on.  No more fooling around, for God is good all the time, and all the time He is good and truly worthy of all our praises.

Let us begin this Sunday Morning Service by praying this prayer together:  Most Holy God, our Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves before you this morning with a song of praise and thanksgiving in our hearts. We seek your blessings over our life and the lives of our family, friends, relatives, our leaders and our Nation. We thank you for all that you have done that has brought us to this point in time. More importantly we thank you for what you are going to do as we journey forward this day. We ask that you give us our daily bread, and forgive us of our sins, and help us to have a humble heart as we forgive others who have sin against us.  We ask this in the name of your son Jesus, AMEN!

Now click on this first video clip and be blessed by the Prayer of Jabez as it is performed by Donald Lawrence Choir.

Now let us read this powerful Scripture together;

“TITLE” IT IS TIME FOR US TO WORSHIP IN THE SPLENDOR OF HOLINESS.  (PSALMS 96 ESV)

 Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.  Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.  For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.” Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness. AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.  Don’t you feel the spirit of God moving through your body and mind, I thank God for you, I thank Him for the power of the Holy Spirit and how He is moving and lifting each of you up to that high place that He desires for us all to be. 

Now pause for a moment and get your Bible out with your pen and paper and we are going to study the word from the Book of John chapter 14:1-8.  Click on this next video clip to begin our Sunday Morning Bible Study Worship Service.  This part is only nine minutes, so please watch it and be blessed.

The subject for our Bible Study is; “KNOWING!”  Do you know who God is, who you are and who you are in God?

It has truly been a great honor indeed for me to share the word of God with you this morning. Thank you for opening your hearts and mind to receive what God had planned for you this Sunday Morning.  Now take this message into the World and bless someone else this day and throughout this week.  Now let us continue to get our praise on as we close this Service for this moment with, “OH HAPPY DAY!”

Now let your day and week be one of joy and happiness.  Do not allow the devil to still your joy.  Remember, he is going to and fro in the earth and seeing who and what he can take down into the pits of hell with him.  We encourage you to stay focus and remain strong.  The race is not to the swift but to those who have the patience to endure.  May God’s Blessings be with you now and always, in Jesus name, AMEN! Remember, you can always go to our youtube video teaching channel, and on the left side of the page, click on playlist and you can watch all the videos that we feature here daily and a lot more that is never seen here.  We encourage you to click on the link below and discover a great blessing waiting just for you.

HEAVENLY FATHER, in the name of Jesus, I seek your blessings over all your servant’s who begin this day’s journey full of excitement, energy, hope and a desire to make a difference in the lives of other, by  laboring in your VINEYARD OF PROSPERITY.   You said in your word, that if we would abide in you, you would abide in us, and we would become great FRUIT BEARERS.

So today HEAVENLY FATHER, as we look out into the world we discover that the harvest is ripe, but the labors to gather in this great harvest is few in numbers.

We pray HEAVENLY FATHER, that those that continue to live with IDLE MINDS, wondering where their next meal will come from, are how they are going to meet their financial obligations; that you will stir up the GIFTS that you have already shared with them.  Show them HEAVENLY FATHER, that there is still plenty of work to be done, and all they need to do, is shift their IDLE MINDS from a neutral position and begin to engage with the positive minds that are around them.  Then they will immediately begin to see a change take place in their lives as their spiritual eyes are open to the abundant harvest that is ripening daily in the VINEYARD.

Now bless their IDLE MINDS this day HEAVENLY FATHER, provide them with an opportunity to begin to experience an abundant life that is filled with love, joy and peace as they drink from the Spiritual Fountain that will never again allow them to thirst.  We ask you to honor this prayer in the name of Jesus, AMEN!

Now let us all continue to see the beauty in all that God has created, as we pray for our Nation, our leaders and each other.  Pray that God will pour out a blessing over all.  Be Encouraged and enjoy the abundance of all that God has blessed in your hands this day.

JESUS PRAYS FOR HIS FOLLOWERS

JESUS PRAYS FOR HIS FOLLOWERS

BY SHIRLEY RHODES

Jesus patiently laid out each part of the pattern to follow in prayer, which is his guide, his instructions for his then chosen followers, and those instructions are continued in those today who decide to learn of his purpose and mission. He reinforced his thoughts to his disciples just before scripture was to be fulfilled as to betrayal and death on the cross. He knew that even though they firmly believed they were to endure in his suffering, that when the moment came they would flee. His question to them, “Do you finally believe?

Even when you leave me I’m not abandoned, the Father is with me. Everything I’ve told you is so that you will be unshakable, assured, and deeply at peace, in this world you will continue to experience difficulties but don’t worry, I’ve overcome the world.” Jesus Prays for His Followers. (Take time and read this prayer, seek understanding because it is truly an awesome expression of love).

In prayer Jesus lifted his eyes towards heaven and said:

“Father, it’s time.

Display the bright splendor of your Son, so your Son in turn may show your bright splendor. You put him in charge of everything human so he might give real and eternal life to all in his charge.  That they know you, the one and only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent, I glorified you on earth by completing down to the last detail what you assigned me to do.

I spelled out in detail your character to the men and women you gave me.  For they are yours by right, everything mine is yours and yours is mine, my life is on display in them. I am no longer going to be visible in the world but they’ll continue in the world while I return to you. Holy Father guard them as they pursue this life that you conferred as a gift through me, so they can be one heart and mind as we are one heart and mind. As long as I was with them in the pursuit of the life you gave them through me, I even posted a night watch and not one of them got away, except for the rebel bent on destruction (the exception that proved the rule of scripture).

Now I’m returning to you, I’m saying these things in the world’s hearing so my people can experience my joy completed in them. I gave them your word; the godless world hated them because of it, because they didn’t join the world’s ways. I’m not asking that you take them out of the world, but that you guard them from the Evil One. They are no more defined by the world than I am defined by the world; make them Holy–concentrated– with truth, your word is concentrating truth. In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I’m concentrating myself for their sakes so they will be truth concentrated in their mission.

I’m praying for not only them but also for those who will believe in me, because of them and their witness about me. The goal is for all of them to become one in heart and mind–just as you, Father, are in me and I in you so that they might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you in fact sent me. The same glory you gave me, I gave them so they’ll be mature in this oneness and give the godless world evidence that you sent me and loved them in the same way you’ve loved me.  Now pause your thoughts and watch this very important prayer of Jesus for His Disciples and we will conclude this prayer on the other side.

Father, I want those you gave me to be with me, right where I am so they can see my glory, the splendor you gave me, having loved me long before there ever was a world. Righteous Father, the world has never known you, but I have known you and these disciples know that you sent me on this mission. I have made your very being known to them–who you are and what you do–and continue to make known so that your love for me might be in them exactly as I am in them” (John 17:1-26 MGS).

SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER PRAISE AND WORSHIP SERVICE

In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, without forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part. (Matthew 6: 14-15)

USE PRAYER AS A WEAPON OF CHOICE

USE PRAYER AS A WEAPON OF CHOICE

Jesus Prayed for all Believers (Photo by Pastor Davis)

You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does.

THE RISING OF THE SUN (Photo by Pastor Davis)

He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.

“In a word, what I’m saying is, “Grow up.” You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.” (Matthew 5:43-48 MSG)

We seek CALMNESS for all our Nations citizen, allowing peace and tranquility, to return their lost joy, back into the hearts of all those who are experiencing a sense of frustration.  We know that you are a Doctor who can do all things but fail.

Therefore Heavenly Father, we are calling on you to bind up the wounds of our nation, stir up the love and

SCHOOL TRAGEDY DIMS THE NATIONS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

SCHOOL TRAGEDY DIMS THE NATIONS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

A PRAYER FOR MERCY

LET US PRAY!

LET US PRAY!

Look down from heaven and see, from your holy and beautiful habitation. Where are your zeal and your might? The stirring of your inner parts and your compassionate held back from me. (Isaiah 63:15 ESV)  Now let us all pray!

All across the Nation this Sunday Morning, many prayers will be sent up to our Heavenly Father, seeking His blessings over the families that are suffering and grieving over the tragedy that took place in their community.  So many young and innocent lives taken for no good reason and we know and understand that when a single member of our body feels pain, the entire body and all its members feels the same pain.  We as a nation feel the pain of the Mothers and Fathers who lost their little angles in this tragedy.  Because in essence, their angels were our angels, when someone does harm to one of our angels they do harm to all of us.

All of us should be morally out raged at what has taken place, but use this day, this time and place where ever you may be as an opportunity to lift the name of God our Heavenly Father up in praise, worshiping God and serving Him with all your heart and soul.  Let this day be a day that our moral outrage be expressed in love and solidarity with our brothers and sister.  Jesus said, whatsoever you bound up here on earth, He would bound up the same in Heaven.

Children of God, let us all understand, much prayer is needed from each one of us.  We must learn how to pray for each other, with our hearts filled with love and joy for our fellowman.  We are all brothers and sisters in Christ.  Although there are many evil spirits that are dwelling among us, never the less, we must not be discouraged, are become evil and hateful ourselves despite the evil and harm that has been done against us or our family and friends.  In the mist of trials and tribulations let us learn to turn it all over to God.  He can and will fight our battles for us.  Hold onto God’s unchanging hands.  Because, this too shall pass, know that God is love and He wants us to learn how to truly love one another with that same loving spirit that He has shown to each one of us.

We realize that our Christmas lights will not shine as bright this Christmas in our homes and our hearts, because each one of us as a parent has lost an angle that has resided in us, and that is Ok, because it will force us to think more deeply on the real reason for this season, and that in reality is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Our Children, family and friends can now be drawn closer to us, because we have been given the opportunity to express our love to them in a deeper and more profound way, as God has commanded us to do so, with the realization that we are all God’s children and God does not bring suffering to His Children, but showers them with love, patience, knowledge, wisdom and understanding.  Now let us learn from our Father in Heaven, and do the same with those that we love, those that have been trusted into our care for a short time.

This tragedy has already dimmed the Christmas Lights, which is the spirit in our soul, all over the Nation and around the World for this Christmas Season.  However, it will not take away our joy, no matter how much pain we may feel, and suffering we may undergo.  We will love each other, embrace each other, comfort each other and teach our children how to survive and sustain themselves in the mist of any and all tragedy.  These are teachable moments as well as moments to learn how to live a more healthy and prospers life, because we know that despite how hard the devil tries to destroy and kill us, we have a protector in Jesus and He has assured us, that this too shall pass and we will grow stronger in Jesus Christ day by day. It is now time for prayer, praise and worship.  Come on in make yourself comfortable and spend some quality time with us as we lift God up in some soul stirring prayer and worship. Just click on this video clip and prepare to be blessed this day as you get your praise on.

Now just lift up your holy hands and say praise God, thank you Jesus. I feel good this morning. Click this next video and let us listen to my friend, Bishop Paul S. Morton as he blesses you this morning.

MY MAXAMIZED PRAYER FOR PEACE AND CONTENTMENT

MY MAXAMIZED PRAYER FOR PEACE AND CONTENTMENT

IN PRAYER BEFORE GOD (PHOTO BY SHIRLEY RHODES)

Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus, I bow my head in your present this day in complete peace and contentment. I empty my soul unto you Heavenly Father; for I know that it is you, and you only that provide me with all peace and contentment.  My sins are before you this day Heavenly Father, you know my weakness, my strength and my heart desires.  I seek your forgiveness as well as your blessings over my life Heavenly Father, and the lives of all those who you have placed before me that my life will touch this day in some way. I seek healing for our NATION that you will bind up the wounds that so many have suffered during our Presidential election.  Renew their Spirits Heavenly Father, and teach them how to live in Peace and Contentment.  There are many lives that have been lost during Hurricane Sandy this past week.  Much destruction and devastation took place causing pain and suffering.  But you know the real needs of all your children and especially those who suffer the most.  My prayer this day for all of your children that are suffering the most Heavenly Father, is that you will rain down from Heaven your blessings that will relieve the pain and suffering, restore the power to the homes, business, shelters and hospitals that are in the greatest need, provide food and shelter for those who have lost so much and show them how they can still live in peace and contentment in the face of the enemy who has taken so much from them.  Teach us all as a Nation how to live in Peace, enjoy the fruits of all that you have provided and have complete Contentment in all that we do.  In Jesus name, I pray, AMEN!

A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL EMPOWERING

A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL EMPOWERING

BY SHIRLEY RHODES

During the course of our lives, we all have had someone to pray for us.  Prayer is the key that unlocks the door to our blessings, and when we learn that our purpose in life is to serve others, and we can truly be effective as a servant by praying in the Spirit for our fellowman, we are then moved to pray without ceasing.

Paul’s prayer for spiritual empowerment for the Ephesians was that they be united by the Spirit, indwelt by Christ, and filled with all the fullness of God’s love.  We know that God made the Holy Spirit available to all who believed in Jesus Christ as Savior.  The Spirit provides power for our new lives.

The Prayer that Paul prayed for Spiritual Empowerment was a beautiful and powerful prayer.  Now

Pastor Davis in prayer

listen to Paul’s words as he spoke them in Ephesians 3:14-21:

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 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?  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.  Amen.

We find that in this text’s prayer, Paul asked that the Holy Spirit deepen His work in their lives in three ways:

1.   That Christ would dwell–more literally, “be at home” in their hearts by faith, that is, that He would move from being an acquaintance to being the center of their church family;

2.   That they would grasp God’s love at a spiritual level, beyond intellectual or theological knowledge.

3.   That they would be filled with God’s fullness, that is, that the Holy Spirit would reveal the things of Christ (John 16) more fully, achieving God’s fuller work in each life unhindered, unquenched, un-grieved.

Now, what about you?  We bless this prayer to you that it may spiritual empower you to reach your greatest potential, in Jesus name.  Amen.
