Bible Verse of The Day – 9-26-18

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 pray without ceasing…

Praying before we start each day will help us in so many ways. As we do so, it helps us to stay close to God. It can also help us avoid a lot of unnecessary things and dangers that we may encounter otherwise.

One morning I had picked up my Grandchildren. They wanted to spend some time with us.

On the way to our house, they wanted to go to the store. So, me being the Grandmommy, I said, “of course”.

As we got into the store, the kids walked ahead of us. They were close by, in sight and within hearing distance. But my granddaughter was out in the front of us all, heading toward the toy aisle. She was excited and smiling, knowing that she was going to get a little toy.

I then noticed a man around 30 – 35 years of age come in through a nearby entrance. He stood out to me because I could see him looking intently at my granddaughter, and I got an awful feeling in my stomach.

She turned to go to the toy aisle and he was right behind her, not realizing we were right behind them.

I immediately called her by name and she stopped. I said, “wait up for us.” He kept walking to where the toy aisles ended and then circled back around.

As we reached where she was, he walked by the aisle, looking down it to see if she was still alone. He realized she wasn’t alone and walked right back out the same door he came in. Everything about this encounter says that he was on a mission with evil intent.

I believe God protected her that day. And that is what prayer does. I am so very thankful and I don’t take it for granted.

As we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, God moves! Giants fall, situations change, healing comes, victory comes, restoration and protection take place.

Colossians 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.

God is faithful!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-18

James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Taking time out to pray for each other is a must. To pray for family, friends, work, relationships and other things that arise throughout our day needs to be a priority.

Prayer helps many people; people that have no hope, no trust, no knowledge at times.

Prayer helps usher in healing for sick people. Prayer helps bring direction and protection in many situations. Prayer stops spiritual battles and so much more.

Through the name of Jesus, we have been given authority and we can lift up any given situation to Abba Father and He will hear our prayer, our need or someone else’s need.

Don’t stop praying. Fit it in daily and go with it. Lift up our cares and concerns and entrust them into the hands of our Daddy, through the name of Jesus Christ.

Things turn around through time spent in prayer. Families and marriages are restored through prayer. Healings take place through prayer. Children are changed through prayer. Financial breakthrough comes through time spent in prayer.

Pray, pray and pray some more.

Rejoice today in knowing that when we pray we are heard. And answers come! Amen.

Psalm 34:17 (NKJV) 17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-15

James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Prayer is the tool that God has given to each one of His children to help us in our situations; to help bring people out of trials, to help people get healed, to help people find Him. It’s through prayer that God will reach down from His throne and help us.

We can invest our time in all sorts of things; work, kids, family, church, etc., but the most important investment we can make is in time spent at the feet of Jesus Christ.

Through Salvation He has made a way for us to come and pray to the Father. There, laying down our concerns and our troubles, we can cry out for others and to get God’s answers.

It takes one person with a strong desire, to unite with God and see His change for whatever situation we find ourselves in.

Praying is up to us to do. It’s up to us to take hold of and invest our time in prayer. It’s more powerful than we could ever know. But if we don’t see it in this light, if we don’t see the importance and the power that it carries through Christ Jesus, we will just leave situations and circumstances on the table and watch them fall into the hands of the enemy.

We have a powerful tool that sits within us. What good will it do if we just leave it dormant?

Mark 1:8 (NKJV) 8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

He has given us a way to be accurate in our prayers. Understanding and knowledge lives within us, through His spirit. He gave us what it takes to go to battle, by the power of the Holy Spirit. We need to ask the Lord to baptize us in the Holy Spirit and to lead us in our prayers.

If you are the only man or woman in your country that prays, you can begin to turn that place around. If you are the only man or woman on your job that prays, you can turn that place around. If you are the only man or woman in your home that prays, you can turn that home around. And if you are the only man or woman in your church that prays, say it with us, I can turn that place around!

As we let the Holy Spirit guide us in our prayers, we will make a difference right where we are at today!! Invest our time each day in prayer God will turn things around.
