The Consolator

God , investigate my life;      get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you;      even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back;      I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say      before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you’re there,      then up ahead and you’re there, too—      your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful—      I can’t take it all in!' Psalm 139:1-6 (MSG) 'This is God ’s Word on the subject: “As soon as Babylon’s seventy years are up and not a day before, I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. “When you call on me, when you come ...

True Ways

  ' Saul, also known as Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he looked the sorcerer in the eye.   Then he said, “You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord?' Acts 13:9-10 (NLT)   ' Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.   It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.' Ephesians 5:11-12 (NLT) ' Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves?' 1 Corinthians 6:2 (NLT) His name, His name is victory! There is victory in Jesus. When His Name is used there is power. His name means ' God is Salvation'.  Through Him, there is this 'Power in the Blood' over the enemy. Paul's name was changed from the Hebrew name Saul to the Gentile n...

Anastasis

'But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”' Luke 10:20 (NLT) ' Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.   Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”John 11:25-26 (NLT) Resist the temptation of pride for all the victories over the enemy. Pride goes before destruction. a haughty spirit before a fall. For doesn't God resist the proud and shows favor to the humble? In this, I am encouraged to find joy in what is proper, with fear and trembling, and that is the fact that my name is written in the Lamb's book of life and not that I have discovered the mighty power that I now possess in His name.  Rejoice. For a life well lived is God's Will. Rejoice. For a life not wasted, but rather, lived for God's Glory blesses God. Rejoice. For a life that blesses God lasts and it is...

More Prayers

'And when the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures saw the Lamb had taken the scroll, they fell facedown at the feet of the Lamb and worshiped him. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls brimming full of sweet fragrant incense—which are the prayers of God’s holy lovers.' Revelation 5:8 (TPT) This is such a powerful symbolic visual of heaven that every intercessor should know. Consider the scene around the Throne of the elders, creatures and the Lamb . This image is awe inspiring enough, but then you read the rest of John's vision and are encouraged by it. Everyone is holding a harp and is worshiping the Lamb. Facedown worship. Facedown worship in heaven to the Lamb that was found worthy. The worship that includes the harp and the golden bowls. The golden bowls of intercessory prayers are being offered up by God's holy lovers. The worship and the prayers go together. Just imagine that we are the worshiping intercessors, ascending to ...

Welcome Home

'The Lord cares deeply      when his loved ones die.' Psalm 116:15 (NLT) God cares for me and I am one of His children. I was born into His House. I am one of His daughters. I receive benefits from Him because He is my Father. My Father is good to me. Because He cares for His children He sent His very own Son, Jesus to live and to die for me that I might be saved and redeemed to Himself. God cares for me and I am one of His servants. I serve Him during both the good times and bad. My service to Him is a sacrifice and He is pleased by it. I give thanks to Him through it all. Because He cares for His servants, He sent His Holy Spirit to be a comforter, helper and a guide to me. God cares for me and I am one of His saints. As the Saints of God often do, I live in a way that is pleasing to Him.  He is not a god that is distant. He is the God that is near and He cares for me. Because He cares for His saints, He has made me a co-heir with His Son....

At That Very Hour

'“Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But this is the very reason I came!   Father, bring glory to your name.” Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, “I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again.”' John 12:27-28 (NLT) God, there is this problem that is before me. Of course, I don't need to tell You about it, because You have put it there, and even did so for Your own Son! The storms of life are real. The storms of life are many. That I cannot deny. The storms of life are troubling. In them, I might find myself saying, oh Lord, why me? I might even pray, 'help me Lord'. 'Keep me safe'! At the darkest point in the current trouble that I find myself in, I find myself vulnerable, for there is my old friend fear and my desire to retreat. At that very hour, I might fail to see You in it. I might ask You to take me out of it. Yet there You are! How could I let myself get so worked up? ...
