Let the World Know That it is the Lord God Almighty, It is He

By Mary Meile

During a dream state I received these words from the Lord, "Let the world know that it is the Lord God Almighty, It is He." These words are very similar to what he spoke to his son Jesus Christ. Jesus was to come into the world and let everyone know that the Father (God Almighty) sent him and that he is a living God that seeks a relationship with his children. The Lord Jesus was ready to leave the world and his disciples. Before that time came Jesus was found praying to the Father for each of them and for the future saints that make up his church (bride). This prayer is for each of us! Meditate on these words and what they really mean to each of us as children of the living God. The Father loves us and wants the world to know that we are his and he sent Jesus to profess that we are loved by him and are in him.

John 17 verse 9-11 Jesus said: I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. And all mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through your name those whom you have given me, that they may be one as we are.
John 17:21and 23My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father--that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me. I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

I Am Transformed and You Can Be Too!

No written words can express how much I love God the Father and his beloved son; Jesus Christ. I will always remember the day that he came to me with outstretched arms of love and a longing desire for me to come to him. Since that day in April 2009 my life has been forever changed in a very radical way. I did not know how to explain the transformation that was occurring inside of me to my family and others that did not have an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus. It was more than I could even comprehend at the time. I was overwhelmed, excited, a little fearful and totally consumed. Who was this Lord Jesus Christ and why did he choose to reveal himself to me now after all of these years? I thought I knew Jesus already. I grew up attending church and I would pray when there was a need. I knew of Jesus but I did not know him. He is a person and it is about a relationship. I now had to keep pursuing after Jesus no matter what the cost. That life changing encounter with the presence and power of the living God upon me occurred at a time when I needed a savior. I am still being changed day by day into his image just as the bible explains: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is a journey and lifestyle change. 

I am here to testify of the life changing POWER of the Holy Spirit of the Living God. This is available to everyone once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. I pray that you will allow him to mold and shape you into the person that he created you to be. That is the key, to be able to surrender everything to him, trust in him, hope in him, walk in blind faith expecting to see him work in your life. Are you seeing the pattern: Him, in him, and through him? It is nothing that we can do on our own. Christ Jesus comes to live in us and then we live by the faith of Christ Jesus, the Son of God. I can do nothing on my own. I do not want to do anything without him. Why would I want to when he is the Way, Truth and Life?

I am still being transformed and healed today. I had a lifetime of many deep sorrows, wounds, and hurts from the past. I was walking in total selfishness and looking out for my own interests, putting up walls so others would not be allowed to hurt me again. It is wonderful to be free and not walk in shame, guilt, condemnation, or rejection. 
2 Corinthians 3: 17: Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. My Lord Jesus is still healing and removing things from my mind and soul. His truth literally washes the old things away. I did not sit down and ask the Lord to remove all these things from me. He made me and knew exactly what work had to be done in me. He started his good work in me immediately, the day that I walked into his arms. There was no delay or waiting upon the Lord. It was a matter of me allowing (submitting) myself to go through the process of healing and a spiritual transformation. There is a supernatural cleansing process that goes deep into the core of your very soul and spirit. Prior to knowing the Lord intimately, I wept over relationships and hurtful situations; however, NEVER compared to this. This is not crying, this is a deep weeping, heartfelt passion of repentance and sorrow that takes place from within. I can only describe it as my spirit and soul crying out for a release that can only be done by the creator. No drugs, alcohol, psychiatrist or self help teaching will heal wounds. It is Jesus Christ that heals and sets us free from the bondage of hurts and pain. He is the healer and restorer. Scripture contains the truth. Jeremiah 17:14: Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. John 8:36: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.I pray that you will call out to Jesus today and ask him to come and heal you. Perhaps there is someone that you have been unable to forgive, that someone could be yourself, or perhaps it is a bondage to alcohol or other addictions that are consuming your life or even depression. Whatever the hurt and pain, I know that the Lord Jesus Christ can heal and restore you to a place of peace and love. I hope that you found this word to be encouraging. Please feel free to leave a message if you desire or need prayer. I am available and would love to pray for you. Blessings.

Healing Power of Christ Jesus

December 8, 2010
Mary Meile

I want to share my personal testimony of healing! This evening I went to the Bridge Orlando Church and after our time of Harp & Bowl and worship we had a teaching on healing. The speaker (Shannon Culpepper) was telling us how important it is to believe and have faith as the Lord wants to heal us. I have seen the healing power work in my life before and in others in my family so I know it is real. I went for prayer for my right hip that was giving me problems with pain each time I got up to walk after sitting. As soon as Shannon and Valerie started praying for me I could literally feel my hip rotate back in position! She prayed for my spine and other areas to line up as I was out of alignment. Then I said let us pray for another issue that I have been having. The next thing I know Shannon said do you feel the power of the Lord on her and I began to feel the warmth of the Lord and his fire heat up in my body. The fire of warmth went all up and down my body from one side to the next! I knew I was receiving more than I had asked for from the Lord. HE is so wonderful, loving, and I praise his mighty name and give him all the glory and honor. I have been healed from three things to date: heart disease, thyroid disease, hip pain and much more I am sure. Praise be to God.

I want to encourage you that if you need healing to come to the great physician, our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the healer, and as the scripture states, by his stripes we are healed. Stay tuned for more praise reports. Amen. Blessings.

Are You Striving On Your Own or Trusting in the LORD?

Jeremiah 9: 23-24

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

The scripture above says that we should glory in knowing and understanding our God. Do you know and understand the ways of the LORD God Almighty? There are many times that we feel totally secure in all of our ways and do not seek his face at all. More often, we seem to seek him when we encounter problems that require a supernatural intervention. Many even say, why should we seek God when I have everything that I possibly need. When we walk day to day relying on our own wisdom and strength there becomes a false sense of security. The LORD tells us that we should not glory in our own wealth, wisdom, strength and power. We are to glory in him and his ways. After all, every good thing and blessing comes from above. If you are not seeking the LORD daily in prayer and asking him which way to go or what to do, then what confidence do you have that you are walking out his divine plan and desire for your life? He has set you here on earth for a reason. Each of us have a divine destiny to walk out which is beautiful and joyous. This walk is beyond any earthly happiness that we seek after daily. His path takes us away from our self and our eyes are now on him and his ways. It is then that we can be used for his purposes and are able to love others. There is no more striving or stressing about daily life as the LORD takes our burdens, he becomes our provider as we go forth in his peace. Blessing to you and yours.

Tell them..............

How much I love them and long for them to speak to me, to take a minute to call out my name, to want me, my presence in their lives.

How I love them and how I died for each of them.
How I pray to the Father on their behalf.
How I fight battles and will come back to take what is mine.

How I will complete the good work that I started in them.

How they are sealed and are mine and I am taking back everyone that is mine! No one will be lost!

I am faithful, I am the warrior and I will battle to the end. The victory is won.

I am the first and last, Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End, I am the root of David, the bright and morning star and I am the one who holds they keys to life and death.

I am alive, I am He, I am He.

About my love, my ways, my truths.

How I am a rewarder.

How I am a friend.

Awaken Children

A Word of prophesy for the Children of God (those that have professed that Jesus is Lord but are not seeking and willing to surrender all to him)

Come forth all that sleep and slumber, come forth and receive all that the living God has for you. Be doers of the Word, you are the light in the world of darkness, come forth children of the living God. Awaken, awaken, awaken out of your slumber. My yoke is easy and my burden is light, come unto me, surrender, it all. I will lead you, keep you, strengthen you. Seek my face, not the things of this world.

Cast down all your idols and distractions, fall down and repent and worship the living God. Cry out to the Lord Jesus, Beloved One, receive his love and grace. Sealed children of the Lord God most High, come forth, come forth, now, it is time. Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken. My beloved Children you have been sealed. Wake up, wake up. I will open your eyes and hearts so you may see and know me and my love, my love for you.

I am calling you forth now; receive all that I have for you. Pick up your mantles and divine appointment; you have been set aside for such a time as this. Come, come, come. I gather each of you from the nations, the four corners of the earth, as a hen gathers her chicks. You are mine. I am yours, not one of you will be lost, not one of you.

Hear my words, hearken your ears to my voice. You know my voice. Do not be afraid, now is the time. I will give you everything you need to do the task: strength, courage, love for your brethren, Holy Spirit, more to come, a refreshing in the Spirit; the Spirit of the Lord shall fall upon the earth and it shall be beautiful, Spirit of Love!

You will need this to stand up in these last days, great sorrows coming but it must be so, these things shall come to pass as it is written. Follow me, listen to my word, be obedient and faithful and above all things, love one another as I have loved you and the Father has loved us all. Great is he; all powerful and mighty is He; beautiful, wonderful, counselor, mighty one, mighty one. His way shall stand forever, forever.

Do not be afraid. Many things coming but stand strong in your faith. I will increase your measure of faith so that you might stand! Fear not, have I not said all things and are they not so? O’ My Beloved children, how I love thee and can not wait until the day of reckoning, the fullness of time to come! Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, all honor and praise and glory to his name. The name above every name. Amen. The time is near, the time is now, these words are faithful and true. Amen.

Seek and God Will Answer

Psalm 105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

There is truth in this passage of scripture. If you take time to seek the LORD, ask for his strength and presence, you will find him. Notice also that it say’s to seek his face evermore. This is not just a one time life event. I can tell you from personal experience that God does show up when we cry out with a seeking heart. That is exactly where Jesus met me face to face and transformed my life forever. I was crying out to be saved from myself! I hated who I had become over the years and I literally hit an emotional rock bottom and saw no way out. My recent marriage to the man that I had professed to love for over 15 years was falling apart. I was so tired of going around in the same vicious circle of sorrows. When I reflect back now, I remember that I always had a desire in my heart to love others unconditionally. I knew that we were not all perfect and that we should love one another as the LORD loves us. That is much easier said then done when you are not walking in a relationship with Christ Jesus. Each time that I tried this on my own I would fail miserably and make a mess of things. I did not know then that I did not possess what was required to be able to love another human being unconditionally. I was not filled with the love of God. Here I was recycling the same judgmental attitudes, past offences, hurts and pains, over and over again. Each time they piled up higher, I could feel the emotional pain within my soul penetrating deeper and deeper. I was so sad and defeated. I did not know how I was going to get free from this horrible bondage. I just knew this had to stop. The hurt and pain were so deep and dark that it looked hopeless. Well, all of us that have cried out to Jesus know this is exactly when he shows up with all the strength and love to carry us through. He is strong when we are weak. He becomes our strength.

If you are going through difficult times or perhaps you feel hopeless then I want to encourage you to cry out to God with all of your heart and continue to seek after his presence. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. He is faithful even when we are not. If he does not come immediately, DO NOT give up; continue to seek until he does come. Do not think that you press forward in vain each day as there is an internal healing process that begins to take place the moment that you decide in your mind that you want and need Jesus to set you free! I can not express verbally all of the wonderful things that the LORD has revealed to me, showing me his heart of love and who he is. I can only say that this is a path work seeking out, a journey that will bring healing, restoration and a new life. God Bless.

Wake Up Saints! Arise!

Recently we have seen many well known evangelical pastors calling for Christians to repent and pray for our nation in an effort to lead us back to a Nation founded under God. It looks almost impossible with what is going on in our government; however, remember that we serve a mighty and powerful God. His word says: (Jeremiah 32:26-27) Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

There is a burden on the heart of the Saints which means there is a burden on Gods heart! Are we not the sheep that hear his voice? What is he saying? It is clear that this is a season that the Lord wants our eyes fixed on him. A time to set aside all selfish desires, distractions and seek God will all of our heart in prayer, repentance and love. There is no doubt that we are in hard and difficult times. If we do not take action as a body of Christ then we will see much more difficult times.

There seems to be an underlying mind set that has crept in and over America. There is a cloud of fear and hopelessness which has set in motion a destructive attitude of despondency!

As followers of Christ Jesus we know that as we press in we are building character and obtaining strength and courage to handle more difficult tasks. We make every concerted effort to persevere at all costs and keep our eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus and not the things of this world that are distracting us. We know that the Lord will take care of his own so we put our trust in Jesus, His word says: (Psalm 84:12) O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

To be a Child of God means that we walk in his light and truth. We are to love God with all of our might and strength, and then our neighbors. We are to walk in a position of authority as a child of the Lord God most high with dignity and honor. We, as the church stand for moral integrity and the majority of us walk with a heart of humility. All the children of God walk in righteousness and peace. ARISE and WAKE UP Saints! Shake off this cloud of despondency and take action on your knees and pray! Cry out to Jehovah for repentance and mercy. Remember his word: (Isaiah 32:17) And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

If you are being pulled away by the things of this world, I challenge you to strike up a new found passion for your Lord Jesus, your redeemer and Savior who came to die for the sins of the world. See the value in your efforts, participate and reach out to others that are hurting and lonely. Encourage them to press forward and pray together. Get involved, make a difference. We are called to prayer; in fact, we are called to pray without ceasing! I hope you will start to make prayer a daily part of your life. As you pray to the Lord you will begin to see changes in yourself and then answers to prayers. It is beautiful! God is truly faithful, let us be the same. God Bless.

A Love Lamentation

Matthew 23:37
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

My prayer is that all mankind will be willing to be gathered in the loving arms of Christ Jesus and that no soul shall perish. When you read this passage are you able to see the enduring love that our Lord has for his children? How can we fathom his heart of compassion or depth of love. We must seek him and go deeper in prayer and fellowship.

Lord, a love lamentation for the gathering of your children is still calling out today, as in the days of old. We can hear your cries Lord Jesus, and today we say, we are willing, come Lord Jesus come, we long to be gathered as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. We long for your very presence. We are willing Lord Jesus that you come and gather each of us…..gather us up O Lord, and let us find comfort, shelter, and protection in your presence. Amen.

Oil Spill Dream and A Call to Prayer

First, let me testify that the Lord still speaks to us in dreams and visions. This is biblical. If you are seeking God he will reveal himself to you. The Lord gave me a dream about the oil spill on the day of the event. In the dream he revealed that it was "Corporate" that was behind the spill. He was showing me in the dream that there is a monitoring of things going on in the earth and seas. The Lord was speaking to me about sharing his heart of sorrow and sadness over the oil spill. I have read other comments saying that this was a call to judgment on America from God. I can only share with you what I believe the Lord has revealed to me about the oil spill and how the holy spirit of God has led me to intercede in prayer for this disaster. A repentant heart change Gods heart.

To begin, I ask that you look at God through a different set of eyes. Put away your conception of him being a God that you can not confide in or one that sits on a throne far away and only wants to condemn and judge. I am not saying that he is not a God of justice and righteousness. I want you to see him as a “living” God (Father) with emotions just like yours; after all, we were created in his image and not the other way around. A few emotions that we have all probably felt are love, sadness, sorrow, loneliness, compassion, and happiness. Is it fair to say that man can be extremely passionate about things that are near and dear to his own heart? So, it is with God. He is a God of love, compassion, longsuffering, and sorrow as he weeps and longs for his children to seek his face and call upon his name. He is saddened when we turn our face from him and say not now Lord, later. He is filled with joy when we come to him in prayer and ask him to be our strength. So, we have established that he is a living God that has feelings.

God is the creator of ALL things. He creates! He loves! He is passionate about what he created and ALL is near and dear to him. The seas are only one of his majestic masterpieces on display in this world that we live in. It bursts forth with rushing proud waves, the clouds are a garment over the ocean, and the waters contain an array of his splendor and GLORY! The bible states, “Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

We were called to fill and subdue the earth and were given dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth! Wow. The God of ALL creation trusted us, man, with his creation, that which he made and blessed. We have not been good stewards. This fact alone calls for repentance (there are other factors such as greed). So, for those of us that have a heart of compassion for our earth and a love for God and all that he has created, please join me in a corporate prayer of repentance and intercession.

Omar Hammami-Jesus Loves You

March 10, 2018-More Thoughts

Is anyone praying for the lost sons and daughters?  

As I follow Jesus and his ways of love, mercy, and compassion for others; I find myself interceding in prayer for those that others would not consider. Many say they deserve what they get and they are evil. I will agree that the act of terrorism is evil, it emanates fear, carries destruction and is a road straight to Sheol. All actions have consequences and it is better to be sowing in peace and love for mankind. You will attract back to you what you are giving out. If you hate then hate will increase. As a follower of Jesus, I know that we do not fight against flesh and blood [the individual person] because they are overcome with darkness, great deception, and do not perceive they are on the wrong path which leads to eternal damnation and a lake of fire for eternity. The lost remain in their sin nature.

I know the One who is the Light and the Way to God and the eternal Truth. He laid down his life for ALL of humanity to be the doorway that leads us to God the Father. Jesus is the only way out! There is a God who loves you radically!  He is the only one that can open the dark prison door of a person's mind and soul. If you are reading this and want out of the darkness, torment, and pain, call upon the name of Jesus Christ and ask him to come and help you. Repent of your past actions and surrender all to him. He will hear you when you come with a sincere heart. I see you, I am praying! 

John 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

September 12, 2013, Update to Prior Posting

Omar Hammami was killed by Al-Shabbab in a September 12, 2013 attack.  Hammami was reportedly killed by members of al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked militant group, after a falling out with its leadership.Something happened with the leaders and Omar turned away from them. Omar was on the run and he knew his time was short.  I hope this was the window of opportunity where Jesus Christ captured his soul and delivered him with his LOVE!
    

A Call to Intercessory Prayer
One day back in September 2009 I was researching data for my work on terrorism. I came across an article about a terrorist group named Al-Shabaab, (the youths) that was led by a young American named Omar Hammami. Omar was born in Daphne, Alabama and he grew up with a Baptist mother and a Muslim father. He is now 26 years old. This young man was recruiting youths to Somalia so they could be trained to wage Jihad, a Muslim Holy War. As soon as I saw his picture in the article, I began to weep as a mother does for her long lost son to come home. I asked the Lord, who is Omar Hammami and why am I weeping and sobbing so passionately for him? I feel such a connection to him and my spirit cries out in sorrow and pain for him. Then I realized it was the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was leading me to pray forth his heart and feelings for this young man. The Lords love and compassion for Omar was so strong as there continues to be sobbing and weeping for him. Omar has met the Lord Jesus when he was younger and the seed of life is planted within him. I just read an article about how his group is now hunting down Christians in Somalia and killing them. I was a little surprised as that is not what he started out to accomplish when he joined the military group. When you read his background regarding his life, this behavior is certainly a detour from who he use to be. The Holy Spirit has fanned the flame within and I have been called to intercede and ask other pray warriors to join in.

Intercession: We are called to pray that a Damascus road experience would come upon Omar Hammami, like the Apostle Paul, and that the Lord would appear to him in a vision in the desert. Proclaim and declare that the Lord will turn the evil around for his glory and Omar will receive salvation of his soul and be used for Gods kingdom and glory. Pray that the walls of hatred and evil be shaken and broken down. Ask for mercy, salvation, and that a hedge of protection surround him so the Lord may accomplish his divine purpose through him. Lift up his family members to the Lord and pray for peace of mind as they are constantly reminded of their beautiful young son that has been led astray, but not forgotten. We pray that Omar Hammami will have a supernatural encounter and come to know the love of the Lord Jesus Christ and his joy which is found in his presence. There is emotional healing found in the Lord Jesus and I pray that the Lord will pour out his love and healing on this young man and bring him to the feet of the cross. Lord Jesus, touch his heart and mind. Draw nigh to Omar and let him feel your love that is beyond words. Thank you Lord Jesus that you have planted your desire in my spirit and the spirit of other intecessors to pray for this young man. We give you all the glory, honor, and praise. Amen.

Prophetic Word-Draw Near

April 12, 2010. Our Lord Jesus is a father that will meet all of our needs. He loves us and wants us to draw near to him.

False prophets and distractions. Set all things aside and seek after me. I AM the one that will provide and lead, care for, love, and surround them with my grace and peace that surpasses all understanding. I AM He. I AM, the great I AM, shepherd, leading my sheep just where I want them all over the nations. Strategically planting everyone. My sheep hear my voice as they still themselves to listen. I am everywhere, I AM. Look to the heavenly, I will feed you, clothe you, provide all needs. You are mine and I am yours. I hold you all close to my heart. I intercede for you. I love my flock, my children. Draw close to me.

Christianity Without a Resurrected Jesus?

I was reading an article from the Washington Times this week titled, "The Interfaith Movement Gains Strength”. The pre-empt to the article stated that this is a first series of reports at the new efforts driven largely by American faith leaders-to bridge old divisions among the nations and the world believers. I asked myself, who are these faith leaders representing America and what are they teaching? Surely this force must be led by Christian leaders. A group called FaithHouse is behind the concept of a multi-religious church. Who backs this Interfaith movement? According to the article some of the biggest interfaith movers and shakers are governments in Muslim states Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan. The movement is for those individuals that have a hunger and want to sample different religious experiences. One Rabbi was quoted as saying to the group, “We don’t understand why God has chosen more than one path for humanity. God created different paths so you would compete in goodness."

As Christians we must never compromise the Word of God. The Interfaith movement does not believe in the finished work of the cross. In John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. There is only one path and one way to the truth and we have been given the gift of grace which does not require that we compete for goodness.

What sets Christianity apart from other religions is the fact that Christ Jesus was crucified and resurrected for our sins. The resurrection POWER of GOD demonstrates that Jesus is beyond all human power. Our hope remains established in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. His resurrection from the grave shows the world that death does not have the last word. This death extends beyond a literal dying of our bodies and also brings a death to our own selfish desires, a true transformation and renewing of our spiritual being.

2 Timothy 3:5
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

WHAT DO YOU DO

We are called to witness in love without condemnation but to be bold and clear about your faith even though we may endure hardships or criticism. Do NOT be fearful or worried; instead keep your eyes on Jesus Christ. Expect more persecution for your faith. We may suffer and some of our fellow Christians are going to their deaths daily as they witness to this very truth; but death itself can not extinguish the abiding and transforming power of Christ. Pray for your persecuted brothers and sisters, support them by staying in contact with them, or financially supporting their ministry. Let us ask the Lord to reveal himself to all humanity so their eyes may be open to the TRUTH.

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

A Time of Strengthening

Take a moment to meditate on the scriptures provided below and consider how the LORD will provide you with HIS strength in ALL things.

POWER PRAYER

Father, I pray that you will surround my life with more of your presence and peace. Help me to remember that I can do nothing by myself, rather that I can do all things through Christ Jesus. Lord, your word says that you will strengthen me before, during, and after trials. Help me to remember to always seek your ways and not rely on my own strength. You are a God of love, mercy, and grace. Renew me daily so I may be a blessing to others. Father, I give you all thanks, glory, honor, and praise. AMEN.


Scriptures

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Psalm 68:28
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

The Watchman Warns-Confusion and Distractions

A message for the sheep.
The Watchmen warns that Satan’s manifested evil is trying to confuse our individual efforts to connect with the counsel of our source -the Holy Spirit, by overwhelming, distracting and exhausting us. Satan and his cohorts seek to deluge our minds with innumerable strongholds and distracting noise that interferes with our ability to hear God.

Kingdom Strategy: Pray as you consider your individual walk with God. I encourage you to turn from the “things” that are keeping you from a relationship with the LORD Jesus. Consider your current life style and activities. Are there "things" that are hindering your walk with the LORD? What are you filling your time with? Let today be the day that you seek out the LORD and make a change to your lifestyle.
Power Prayer: A call of repentance, promised pardon, and gracious restoration.

Father, there may have been times during my life that I have abandoned you altogether or have replaced you with worldly priorities. I come to you today with a contrite heart seeking and asking for your forgiveness. Father, I repent of my wicked ways and seek only to please you. I ask for your promised pardon and gracious restoration unto my soul. I am so thankful that you are a faithful God that will never abandon me, even though you discipline, you always remain true to your promises and covenant. Father your word says that you will restore us when we backslide, continue to love us freely and turn your anger from us. Remove all spiritual confusion from my life and fill my mind with more of you Christ Jesus. I seek to reflect on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Open my spiritual eyes and ears so I may hear and know the divine calling that you have upon my life. Thank you. Amen.
