There is power in prayer!

So often we face people...

🌾who are too rebellious to give up harmful habits and addictions,

🌾who are too stubborn that they will not listen to good advice or instruction and refuse to be disciplined.

🌾who talk back rudely when you reach out in concern.

What do we do then? 

Time to look up to God in prayer.

Because...

"People may refuse our love, our good advice, reject our message, but they are defenseless against our prayers." 

SO LET'S PRAY!

In the last days we will confront difficult people but need to pray...them through!

🌺 2 Timothy 3 "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—.."

Prayers will soften hard-hearts, humble the proud, quieten the restless and break stubborn habits and spirits and more!

Time to look to God!

Be blessed

Whisper a prayer....

So many people pass by us daily, as we walk the street, shop and others we rub shoulders with when we travel by bus/train. We sure can whisper a prayer for the one who sits, walks, stands close to us.

We may not know his/her name, Jesus does and He moves.

One day in eternity we will know the answers to these quick, shooting prayers. What a joy to hear our Lord say, "He's saved, this one was healed and that one missed an accident because you prayed".

Keep praying!

Tears of a Praying woman

Greetings...

Tears move God's heart. Tears are usually associated with women but men cry too!! When we are overwhelmed with joy, pain, sadness, separation, our eyes swell up with tears.

The Bible says...

🌸🌿PSALM 126:5 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.

But here I write about the tears of a praying woman.

The tears of a woman who prays (that may be our mother, grand-mother, wife, sister, friend) can do wonders.

When a woman cries out to God (well He'll listen to the cries of men too) God's heart is moved. He keeps a record of every tear.

PSALM 56:8 "Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record? "

These tears shed at the Lord's feet can result in healing of the sick, bring restoration, save a prodigal son, a rebellious daughter or change a spouse who's an alcoholic or a friend struggling with an addiction.

Jesus Christ our Lord, cares for all that concerns us. When we are discouraged and feel no one understands let's remember our Lord keeps even a record of our tears.

Isn't that comforting?

🌿🌸PSALM 39:12 "Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help;

Even as we sow in tears we'll reap in joy!

As we bow down before HIM & lay our burdens at His feet with tears, we'll rise up with joy!

Tears move God's heart.

🌿🌸In Luke 7:10-15, we see a widow cry over the death of her only son and Jesus was touched and told her not to cry and raised her son from the dead.

🌿🌸Luke 7:13 "When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry." 14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother."

Today when we cry about situation that may seem dead and lifeless to us, God will give us hope by giving life and reviving that situation.

Again in Luke 7:36-43, we see a woman who lived a sinful life came and sat at the feet of Jesus and wet His feet with her tears.

🌿🌸Luke 7: 37 "When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38 and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears."

People around her did not understand but Jesus seen her repentant heart, her love and noticed every tear she shed at His feet.

🌿🌸Luke 7:44 "Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

Today let's take all that burdens us to our Lord in prayer. Let's cry out to Him and He will hear us, He will help us and give the desires of our hearts.

Be blessed,

Julia🌺🌿

Set a guard at our mouth O Lord...

Hi family and friends,

The Bible says in..

Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips."
Foolish, loose talking, cracking coarse jokes seems 

to be OK in today's world.

But God's Word warns us in..

Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be 

obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are 

out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

Paul warns us that improper language should have 

no place in our conversation.

How can we praise and worship God and with the 

same mouth crack coarse jokes? Even listening and 

being entertained by such jokes sure offends the 

Holy Spirit.

It's time to draw a line. It's time to take a check of 

what comes out of our mouth.

Matthew 15:11 What goes into a man's 

mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what 

comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 

'unclean.'"

So it's time to watch what comes out..

Are our words pleasing to God? Let's be careful 

not to speak carelessly.

Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that men will 

have to give account on the day of judgment for 

every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by 

your words you will be acquitted, and by your 

words you will be condemned."

WORDS REVEAL WHAT'S IN OUR HEART.

May our prayer be in line with what the Psalmist 

said..
Psalm 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O 
LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips."

Abba Father guard our mouths and lips from, 

foolish talks, coarse joking, criticism, 

condemnation, gossip, slander, evil speaking, 

complaining, lying, false teaching, murmuring etc...

Help me to watch my words..

Set a guard over my mouth O Lord...
In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen

Praying for loved one's Salvation:(Brother Owen)

1. Four mistakes in praying for salvation:

(1) "Asking" God to save them!!

Instead, in Jesus name, break the power of Satan, blinding

the mind of your loved one.

2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Then instead of "asking" God to save them, speak it into
existence--"Loose or decree salvation:".

Mark 11: 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him."
Matthew. 21:21 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.
Job 22:28 What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways. 

and

Matthew 16:19, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

(2) Not "praying through.

" Pray, do spiritual warfare, until
you "know that you know" you have the answer. There are two types of faith.

One is heart faith and the other is mental or intellectual
faith. You will have "heart faith" when you "pray through" by much prayer, praise, worship, and often tears of travail. Sometimes you will
need to fast for the breakthrough.

It may take seconds, minutes, hours, or even days to pray
through. Some fasting might be necessary. You will have a "knowing" or a deep, peaceful feeling that you have the answer, that you have "prayed through."

(3) Through a lack of "patience."

You must hold on in faith until you see the salvation take place. Keep praising God for the answer.

Hebrews 10:36 "For ye have need of patience that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise".

See also

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;(for he is faithful that promised;)
 You can lose the miracle by becoming negative about your
loved one, instead of "holding fast to the profession of your faith."
This is a faith principle.

(4) Not DEEPLY forgiving them.

You must forgive your loved ones, release them to the Lord, and treat them with love. DON'T PREACH
TO THEM. Let God save them!

 Mark 11:25, "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.""

1. Examples

(1) Norvell Hayes' daughter. God spoke to Norvell Hayes to stop preaching to his daughter, and just love her. Also he was told he must spend much time, even days, in prayer, until he had the assurance of her salvation. He did this and soon his daughter was beautifully
saved.

(2) Prostitute saved. Yonngi Cho advised the mother to "see" her daughter as saved and treat her as though she were already saved,
and holy. Her love and respect won her daughter quickly, and now she is an outstanding evangelist for the Lord. Faith works by love.

(3) Pastor's son saved through fasting. Rev. and Mrs. Heflin both fasted for long periods of time for their twenty-nine year old
son's salvation, the late Wallace Heflin, Jr. Having run from God for years, he was saved and became an outstanding evangelist, ministering
in 80 nations for the Lord.

(4) A husband and wife fasted and prayed much each day for three weeks for revival in their small church. An angel appeared to a hard-hearted sinner, and he and his large family, and many friends were
saved practically filling the church.

(5) A Buddhist saved. He wanted no part of Christianity. His nephew in Jesus Name, "broke the power of Satan" blinding him to the truth, "decreed" his salvation, and soon he was saved.

You can do the same and see your loved ones saved, and transformed by the Lord.
BLESS YOU,
BROTHER OWEN

Move me out of the way Lord...~Norris K. Oler~

Hi family and friends,

Good Morning from India.

May this day be blessed.

Let's trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, with all our hearts.

Let His presence go ahead of us.

Trusting in God..
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
may not always remove the hurdles we face or make mountains smaller.
But it sure make our walking, running & climbing easier.
We may be walking a desert pathway or on a narrow road,
but when our trust is on Our Saviour & Lord JESUS CHRIST,
we know it finally leads to the beautiful place (Heaven).

Sure...I know I couldn't have made it this far without JESUS, HE SURE make it easier for me...because His presence makes the problem and pain easier to handle.

The HOLY SPIRIT has been an ever present helper.
Satan does come to steal, kill & destroy...but Our LORD gives life abundantly!!!!
When I'm weak HE'S MY STRENGTH,
When I falter, He steadies me...
When I fall..& cry out to HIM, He picks me up!!!!!
Yes through the trials we are perfected.....
So because of JESUS (Yeshua) I can smile through my pain!!!!!

There were times in the past I have tried to do things my way.

But it was when I let God take over I found true peace,

I will trust in My Lord JESUS Christ at all times.

Here below is a poem that blessed me.

Be Blessed,

Julia

Move me out of the way Lord.

   
I run to the front
To take the control
But in the end
It's harm to my soul.

I must be in charge
I think I know best
"It's my life," I say.
I'm leading the quest.

Who knows me better
Than I know me
Though you look
You do not see.

There's only one
Who truly sees me
He knows who I am
And who I could be
   
The author and finisher
Of my holy faith
The love of my life
He receives all my praise

He truly sees me
The intent of my heart
He understands all
He sees not in partThe depth of His love
For this wretched mean
It boggles my mind
So I don't understand

Why I insist
On running my life
When in the end
It cuts like a knife

When I look upon
The wreckage I've wrought
It all came to ruin
It all came to naught

It's come to the point
Where All I can say
Is move me, dear Lord
Move ME out of the way

  
Make me decrease
Make me small
Make me, in the end
The least of all

Subdue my ego
O' Lord bind my pride
Have your way, Father
Just move me aside

To you be the glory
Creator of life
The author of peace
Moderator of strife

    
Flesh cries to be seen
Pride desires to be known
But I know the glory
Is yours alone.

So, Lord hear my plea and answer me true.
Keep me from running ahead of you.
Move me to the rear, drive me to my knees.
Lead me to the light, move me Father, please.
~Norris K. Oler~

Abba Father,...
٠•●♥There are times Lord when there is so much in me. So many things that I can't put into words, I only feel them, I know you feel them too.
  ٠•●♥ I know in those times when no one seems to understand me Lord, or get me, that you do. My heart longs for that feeling that spreads through me when you come to me. 
  ٠•●♥ When a heartfelt whisper brings about Your Presence and all the troubles and sorrows of this world fade. 
There are so many that have yet to experience this feeling, this peace. 
  ٠•●♥ Lord, I pray to be a vessel used by you to be able to show them how to find You.
  ٠•●♥ Let my light shine so brightly and my prayers be fervent to you for the lost, for the dying , for those that so need to find their way to You.

٠•●♥ Use me Lord in the most magnificent or the tiniest of ways to further your kingdom on earth. 
  ٠•●♥ Let my words be yours and my voice be yours ringing out in your truth, Peel away the layers of pain that keep me bound to what hurts me and let me be free so that I can sing of your glory to be found once I've gotten completely out of Your way and allow You to live in me. ٠•●♥Keep this hunger fed by your Word and my thirst quenched by the truth of you in my life. 
  ٠•●♥ Lord stay close to me and hold me through the rough times and rejoice and dance with me through the good times as we grow closer through a relationship where both of us offer to the other just want we want and need, each other. 
  ٠•●♥ Lord help me to keep your spirit alive and breathing in me, to stoke the embers into flames and to reach out with that spirit inside me to love in the way that you would want of me.  ٠•●♥ Make me more like You, Lord. Take all the pieces that are broken and do with them as you will to make me whole in your name so that I can shout to the hills of your glory. 
  ٠•●♥ Help me see that in my praise and worship of you, in my reaching out to others, I get past me. It's You I seek and You I need, it's You I cry out for through the tears and You that comes when I call.

٠•●♥ You're always there, always. No matter what I go through or too, you've gone before me. You made a way, You are the way. 
  ٠•●♥ Help me to love me. To know that I am loveable and loved and that the greatest love I will ever know I already have, it's in You. Help me cloak myself in that love and heal in that love and hold onto that love with everything in me. 

٠•●♥ Help me breathe in the goodness of you and the truth of you and to reflect and give back both to others. Let not my brokenness be in vain, but used as a way to bring to You all the glory.
That's my hearts prayer Lord.
In Jesus Name Amen

Lord....Bind our families with love.

Hi.....

In these last days it's sad to see families falling apart because love has grown cold.

The Bible warns us of ungodliness in the last days.
This is the reason for families falling apart.

* 2 Timothy 3:1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

Even as the enemy tries hard to tear families apart, Our God does all He can to restore back all that the enemy stole and destroyed.

* Malachi 4: 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.

May this year be a year of restoration of broken families and a year of fruitfulness in every area.

For Our God is a God of restoration! He is a God who gives life and He brings back to life what is dead.

And so can resurrect a dying relationship.

~~Let's cherish and love those close to us.

Let's not wait for an illness, death of a loved one, an accident of a dear one to get us back to our families..

~~We got to cherish the family God has given us.

We got to take time from work and spend quality time with people at home.

~~Let's love our parents, spouses, kids and our brothers and sisters too...

~~Let's Cherish the people in the family of God too.

Life on earth is a temporary assignment and all will be gone one day.

~~Let's enjoy our family and give them our best....

~~Let's find ways to show our near and dear ones they are special. Let's tell them by our words and deeds often how much we love and care for them.

~~Let's pray that God will bind our families together with cords of love that cannot be broken.

~~Let us appreciate the people in our lives not just family and friend but also be kind and considerate even to our co-workers, neighbors,  respect people in authority, our pastors etc.

~~When was the last time we thanked and appreciated our boss at work or our Pastor?

~~When was the last time we told our Parents, spouse, kids, sister/ brother that we love them and care for them?

God Bless each of you.

Praying for our family...

JOSHUA 24:15
" But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

Hi...
Let's thank God for our families this day...and pray a hedge of protection around our families.
So many marriages are in trouble, divorce among Christians on the rise.
There are people we know who's hearts are breaking, who are so...stressed out and on the verge of giving up.
It's time to pray and command God's blessings and rebuke and destroy the enemy's work.
How important is prayer for families?
Some one wrote...
"Prayer for families is the very foundation that keeps a family unit together. Have you heard the phrase "A family that prays together stays together"? The concept is true - a family that has their focus on praying to the Lord Jesus Christ has a foundation that may be shaken at times, but it will withstand all that comes against them. "

Have we neglected family prayers?
Time to get back to it...
Let's pray..

Julia


Some prayers...
"Lord, I cover myself and everyone around me with the blood of Jesus. I cover all of the members of my family (call them by name) with the blood of Jesus. I cover my home, my land, my car, my finances, my marriage, my ministry, with the blood of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus Christ, by the power of His blood, I break off every power of the kingdom of darkness and cancel every argument in heaven that has established itself against the plans of God in my life and spoil every attack of the enemy. I call forth, in the name of Jesus, all of God's plans and purposes for my life, and my family. As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you and you have no authority over my life. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME (OR MY FAMILY) SHALL PROSPER!"
IN JESUS NAME
AMEN

Father, I thank you for blessing me with my family. I ask you to bring us into unity through You. I ask that anything that is hidden in darkness - to cause disunity - will be brought to light. I ask You to lead us into Your perfect truth and help us to be the family You intend us to be. Lord, help us to be a blessing to one another and to others. Reveal Yourself to us and let us come into agreement with You. Lead us in Your ways. Grant us compassionate hearts, fill us with Your love that does not keep records of wrong, and bring joy to our hearts when we think of one another. Bring Your perfect peace and unity into our family. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
