Evening Prayers

'Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise'
David Brymer, 'Worthy of it All',  2012

'My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.' Malachi 1:11 (NIV)

Incense shall rise to You each morning and evening which signifies prayer and praise.

Dear Father. Fear has a name and today it's coronavirus. Common to bats and snakes and rare in humans and apparently because some unknowingly eat these animals raw, it has jumped the species barrier. Similar to SARS and MERS, it resembles the common cold.  The CDC says the risk to Americans is low. They say 100 people in China have died from the virus. We are told to avoid nonessential travel to China. Preparations are being made and the government has failed once again to keep us safe. Who can we trust? There is none Lord, only You.

Please forgive us Father, for the things that we often so stupidly do. We don't deserve Your mercy or Your grace. So we pray. So we plead the blood of Jesus over all of Your people! Deliver us from this evil plague. Save us from ourselves Lord.

I pray for Holy Spirit supernatural intervention to come in like a flood and destroy this evil threat to life. This mere virus that can do so much to put the entire world into a panic. 

Lord, I must not take Your name lightly or in vain for You deserve the Glory. I must choose to be holy and live by right principles, in the right manner, for the right reason. I must surrender all things for Your Glory. I must live for You and put my trust in You alone.

Jesus, Your name is great. I raise my prayers like incense to You. My praise goes up likewise to You just as the fragrant incense. I must worship You in spirit and in truth. You are worthy of it all. You, who created the universe know everything about every virus, bacteria and threat. You are the Lord of all. You control it all. You alone are good. You are not surprised about anything. So I put my trust in You. 

When I say Your name again and again I find my peace in You. There is healing in Your name. I shall have no fear for thou art with me. And I know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. Yours is the kingdom and the power forever. You deserve the Glory. In Jesus's mighty name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
