Bible Verse of The Day – 7-4-20

Romans 15:30 (NKJV) 30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me…

Paul knew that even the prayers of believers that didn’t know him could be very effective. He said, “I beg you brethren that we strive together in prayer”.

People of God, brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to come together in prayer for the situations we are facing right now in our country and around the world.

We have not come face to face with many of our subscribers. However, we pray for each and every one of you that are standing with us.

God has connected us in many ways with people all around this world. Seven Seas Ministries outreach is global, and we pray for you because you are part of our family.

We are responsible to pray for one another.

We know that God is so very faithful!

Even if we are not physically there to enjoy your victory or answered prayer with you, we will usually learn about it somehow, and we get so excited and happy for you. We celebrate it here in Rhode Island, regardless of where you are located.

We rejoice with you and thank God for His miraculous answer!

When it comes to prayer, distance and having not ever met face to face aren’t obstacles.

Pray children of God. Let us pray with all our hearts. It is effective!

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-20

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Praying can be hard to do if we are overwhelmed, distracted and busy in our minds.

A lot of times, we pray because we don’t have any idea as to how to fix something. Even then we might think, “forget it, God doesn’t want to hear from me”.

Are we kidding ourselves? God never said that.

That’s either our own guilty conscience speaking to us, saying “it’s too late, we’ve gone too far”, or it’s the devil trying to whisper lies, hoping we will believe him and not get the help we need.

God doesn’t run from us when things get ugly and tough. He doesn’t run and hide when we are at our worst. Do we really think He will walk away from us if we are crying out for His help? No.

He is God. He cares so much more than we realize.

His arms are open at all times. He will not push us away. He will not lock us out. He will not tell us to be quiet.

Open up and let Him in. He will fix us and whatever we have going on.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-7-19

Luke 5:16 (NKJV) 16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

It’s so very important that we understand what prayer can do for our present situation, and for the things to come.

We need to pray often. Not just when we need something, but even when things are good and we are happy.

Be consistent. Prayer keeps us in forward motion.

A lot of believers are stuck. They most likely have stopped praying. Or maybe they never began to pray.

Prayer is the thing we need most in our lives. But we will usually give it very little effort. Many times we may even see prayer as a last resort.

But until we realize how important it is, we will struggle and ask, “why God? Why do I keep falling behind, keep missing it, keep losing out?”.

Prayer helps us to hit the nail on the head and be done.

Let’s pray like Jesus…often!

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 – 10-7-15

Isaiah 26:4 (NKJV) 4 Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

Spending time in prayer is the most powerful thing we can do for our marriage or someone else’s marriage, for our family or someone else’s family, for the church and for the world as a whole.

Strength, healing, deliverance, and VICTORY come through prayer, through trusting in our Lord.

If we want to see change and get answers, it will take us putting time aside, writing down the things God has shown us that need changing and pray them through, trusting HIM for the answer and the victory in each battle.

We want to see change. God will bring change.

He is STRONG. Trust in HIM!
