“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

“This, then, is how you should pray:

“ ‘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.

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one. ’

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

This speaks LOUDLY to us! There are so many posts online that ask you to type “Amen” if you want prayers answered or if you “believe.”

When this was written, not only was it valid for the time but it is valid today. You DO NOT need to “like” and\or share. Simply know in your heart what you ask for, believing and it shall be given.

If you stand asking for forgiveness, and expect it; first forgive those who have wronged you.

“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.”

Mathew 18:15

“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the

altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,

leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”

Matthew 5:23,24

We have been taught by The teacher how to receive what has been poured out. Forgive to be forgiven, give to receive, believe to be given.

All this “like”, “share” to receive is NOT biblical, be quiet about your relationship with God, let it be seen; do NOT announce/pronounce it, Amen

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

The Bible says.” O satisfy us early with Thy mercy and lovingkindness in the morning, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:14

“The steadfast Love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”  Lamentations 3:22-23

We read: Every morning is The Love of The Father renewed. He is always Love! His essence, His being, His supernatural existence is THE definition of Love.

Many a time in The Word, we are made aware of the times when God was displeased with those who were to know His essence. He parted the Red Sea, all they had to do was realize that it had never been done before or since! All got across with their livestock, before the waters returned to their former position. Yes, they were in need of water and they complained, butvGod provided. Food? God provided Manna. At each turn, they tried God, but He remained who and what He is, AMEN.

In the days of Noah, God looked through the earth and only Noah and his family kept the ways of The LORD! God shifted His knowledge/bearing and nearly destroyed life, but for Noah and his family. If we doubt it. Scientifically, it is suspected that the existence of The Ark is in the heights where it would have settled first–modern day Turkey.

Beloved, as the day breaks into a New Era, so too shall your life break into brightness, joy of the LORD and jubilation, Amen. The LORD will visit your life with His enduring mercy, God will sort out all your pending problems and give you reasons to be glad and rejoice. God will satisfy your soul with all your heart desires: Psalm 37:4, Psalm 20:4, Psalm 145:16, Psalm 103:5

In your life God will put an end to anxieties & worries.

He’ll give you wealth in abundance.  Philippians 4:19
God will afford you the grace that will move any mountain (debt, hardship, illness, disease…) Matthew 17:20

As you Knock, your doors of opportunity shall be opened unto you. Matthew 7:7, Luke 11:9
As you seek, you will find favour in the Sight of God and Man. As you pray unto God, your prayers shall become self proclaimed testimony, Amen

Every plan and purpose of God for your life shall come into manifestation. Your destined blessings will never elude you. The LORD will grant you your ordained blessings at the appropriate time and age.

The early part of your life has been blessed. Now the latter part shall be full of notable & remarkable accomplishments. The end of your life shall be glorious and glory-filled. The LORD will satisfy you with long life, abundant means and good health to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your name shall be mentioned for its greatness. As it remains a mystery how the water gets into the coconut, so shall your source of happiness remain a mystery to your enemies. In JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

1 Samuel 15 is our share for today. Unlike as we have done in the past, rather than quote it, this time, we will refer to it and learn. This is a time when God was in regret for appointing Saul king of Israel. He had received a message to destroy the Amalekites for their treatment of the nation of Israel when they left Egypt. Israel was to destroy all! People, cattle, all! Some of us might think this is simply “Do what The LORD says.” That Seems like the most reasonable answer. BUT, when the Israelites went, they decided to keep the best for themselves. TROUBLE!!! Disobedience to something that is so simply stated! Have we ever been given a directive and decided/made excuses decide not to do it?

What we ‘know’ to do in line with The Word of God, should not be passed. Rather, with confusion-PRAY! “LORD, is this what you will for me to do?” Pray and you WILL get an answer! In cases when the answer is unclear, ask for guidance. The Word has always existed among numbers, in our study it has said “Where 2 or 3 are gathered in My name, I am there in their midst.”, “Whatsoever 2 or 3 of you agree as touching any situation you have in The Will of God, shall be done.” We must remember that we serve a God that sees all and knows all.

God at this point communicated His regret for allowing Saul to rise on the throne. Mind you The Word is His-story, what has been done once, shall never be repeated, this is factual. Has there ever been a storm that wiped out most of life? It was done once and will never be done again. The LORD chose Saul and he stepped aside and there was much regret. Where do you stand? We have shared asking “Is God proud of you? Does He observe you with joy and satisfaction at creating you?”

We should be touched and focus on The Will of God.

LORD, I thank You for Your Will in my life. Father may my actions bring you joy in all my ways, LORD as I go out and come in, guide me, lead me, engulf me in the comfort and peace of Your presence. LORD, You are my ALL, I magnify You LORD on bended knee. Amen

May the Lord God Almighty heal your land, and all that are yours; may He remove and set on fire every cankerworm, devourer and locust set up to invade your life, home, land, business, marriage and ministry in Jesus Christ name. Amen!!! Joel 2:25

May the Lord God Almighty this day empower you to overcome and utterly destroy every spirit of impossibility, fear, failure, and discouragement that is telling you that you will not make it, and that you will not be able to go up against those who are agents of roadblocks, or road diversions to your promised land, in Jesus Christ. Amen!!! Numbers 13:31

Beloved, have a glorious period with songs of Victory of Hallelujah in Christ Jesus. Amen!!! Your season is as long as you stay grounded in Jesus, Amen 

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you —
The LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm—
He will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121

In our ‘home,’ there is no sleep, we have a purpose and we shall perform it for The LORD who made us. We are here but to hone our skills. As led, we can proclaim the ways of God and His Love.

He is in a realm where there is no sleep nor slumber. In the words of David, he was led to proclaim the characteristics of God. Who was he? This Psalmist? How did he rise to fame? It was through trials and tribulations. We ALL grow with experience. Where is your heart? Where does your spirit lie?

Yes, king David who was blessed to have The Son of God born in the flesh of His lineage, had trials and temptations that in NO way were ‘small.’ He had a bounty placed on his head! He was wanted dead or alive, a price was placed on his head! Even his most loved friend, essentially a brother was banned from his presence by his father-in-law, the king!
The reason I share this is that we have trials and tribulations! We cannot see where they lead, but trust God, they are for a reason! Difficult to see when we are undergoing tribulation, but in all cases in His-story there is a reason!
https://www.charismamag.com/spirit/bible-study/35682-4-things-about-king-david-that-captured-god-s-heart,
Think of this, while being ‘hunted,’ he was tried, and passed the test!

Bible > NIV > 1 Samuel 26

The Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?”
So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search there for David. Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there, he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived.

Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner, son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him.

David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?”
“I’ll go with you,” said Abishai.
So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.

Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.”

But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless? As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “the LORD himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.”
So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.

1 Samuel 26:1-12
Admittedly, we are ALL in trials of one sort or another, but all to The Glory of God! Who in his place or undergoing his trials, would not have given up. There is SO much in this testimony, it is in His-story for a reason! We remember David for a few things, but forget his ‘formative’ years. God knew his heart/his spirit and led him! At times, we may ‘feel’ we are at ‘the end’ of a dangling rope. Why? Have you thought of why? Why are you going through so much? What is the cause? What is the solution? We may deal with physical, financial, emotional…maladies. Check it out, Davis suffered through all of these and more. He was not around to see into the future to know that The Son of God would come from his physical lineage! Mind you, this was an adulterer, murderer, shameless individual-but time and time again, he returned to The feet of our Father!

I will encourage you to read the story of David! So much to learn, in fact and truth it reads like a best seller novel, an award winning movie. It has reference and relevance to our lives, Amen. So, if we have not stimulated a thirst for His Word, this may just break that which stems the flow, Amen

Father LORD, we give you thanks for today. We praise You for the essence of Your Word. We go through so much: trials, tribulations, temptations and have so many wants and needs. At times we do not know how to pray or state that which we go through. We praise You for Your Spirit Who intercedes for us with sighs and groans that we cannot express in words. Father, where I stepped wrong, I truly am sorry as you bring it to remembrance in this moment, Father I seek Your pardon. Father, allow me to find it in my heart to let the past stay in the past, forgotten, forgives as I ask You to do for me.
I give You praise and Glory for the morrow, ALL I have is in and of You. We all ‘journey’ to arrive Home, guide our steps. Bless us in ways that are too wonderous to exclaim, fill us till we spill over and bless with Your Spirit those around us. Father, not my will but Your will be done in my life for always I pray in Jesus’ name, the name above ALL names, Amen

We start off with the need to grow. We physically are born, learn to crawl, toddler, walk, stride, run, sprint… Where and how are you Spiritually? Yes, many feel that following the precepts governed by rules set by ‘Man’ is all that is needed.
For one to grow properly certain rules must be observed for good spiritual health.
We are led to learn what is needed in physical development. As pointed out, you are YOU inside you. Yes, there is a body…think of this, after an accident, if paralyzed, you are still you. Yes, all you did before is not immediately possible. Some revert to depression, drugs, wiling away the time wasting away. Granted, there is frustration at the inability to do what was once done. A new way MUST be found, what makes this possible?

Now we arrive at the crux of this share. You were one way once, a child spiritually, how do I grow is the question. Being “born again”, this may sound like some ‘ultea religios’ hoopla, it is a state of mind. ” Old things have passed away.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

We start of learning to roll over
For one to grow properly certain rules must be observed for good spiritual health.
1. Read your Bible daily. Do not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy your conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart. It comforts, guides, corrects, encourages – all we need is there.
2. Learn the secret of prayer. Prayer is communicating. Every prayer that you pray will be answered. Sometimes that answer may be “Yes” and sometimes “No,” and sometimes it is “Wait,” but nevertheless it will be answered.
3. Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us (Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us. Stand aside and let Him take over all the choices and decisions of your life.
4. Attend church regularly. The visible church is Christ’s organization upon earth. Christians need one another, we need to gather together to worship God and nothing can take the place of church attendance.
5. Be a witnessing Christian. We witness in two ways: by life and by word – and the two, where possible, should go hand in hand.
6. Let love be the ruling principle of your life. Jesus said to those who followed Him, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35). The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another.
7. Be an obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of your life.
8. Learn how to meet temptation. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. Let Christ, through the Holy Spirit, do the fighting for you.
9. Be a wholesome Christian. Our lives and appearance should commend the Gospel and make it attractive to others.
10. Live above your circumstances. Don’t let your circumstances get you down. Learn to live graciously within them, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.
