January 1st prayer...

Heavenly Father I thank You for another year filled with blessings, purpose, and Your favor. 2020 was a year that was devastating to many Lord, I know You have heard those cries. I humbly ask Lord that 2021 be a year of blessings to all who love You with all of their heart. I pray Jesus that, like Mary, I may have the faith to chose the necessary thing, to sit at Your feet. Let this year be one of revelation, knowledge, and prayer. Increase my faith Lord, show me a glimpse of Your glory. Help me Jesus to be a light to someone living in darkness. Help me lead people to Your truth and love. Strengthen me Lord to stand in the gap for those who have lost all strength. Show me Lord how to intercede in prayer for those who are being attacked by the enemy. Cover me and mine with the blood of Jesus, keep us from all harm, and bless us indeed. Increase my territory Lord. 2020 was the year that opened my spiritual eyes. Now that I see Lord, show me the next thing. Give me wisdom and discernment to chose the seat at Your feet Jesus. Accelerate my learning so that I may be equipped for the battle. Give me a language that Satan doesn't understand so that he is oblivious to Your plans. Help me fight each day in the armor you have given to me. Let me become the warrior You have wanted me to be. Bless me oh God with relationships with other spiritual warriors. Show me the plans You have for the battle. I thank you Jesus for revealing to me that my biggest weapon against the enemy is love. Where there is true love, there is no evil. Hear my prayer Father, let my worship be an incense to You. I give everything that I am to Your will Abba. In Jesus' name... AMEN.

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,  but one thing is necessary.  Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Comparison, don't fall for the trap.

Image
When we compare ourselves with other people we are creating an open door for the prince of lies. Comparison tells us that we are either better than others, or fall short of what others view as successful. This has never been more of an issue than it is today, with all the social media sites out there. We have started to gauge our relationships by how many "likes" and "shares" we have. When people don't respond in the way we wan t we start to compare ourselves. I guess that person is taller than me, that person has more friends than me, that person has pretty blond hair, that person is skinny or in shape, wow he prays for 3 hours a day! etc. etc. etc. You can fill in the blank here. By comparing we either build up ourselves to the point of narcissism or, we tear ourselves down to the point of depression. Either way the end result is killing your joy! Exactly what the enemy wants. God made each of us unique in the way that He wanted, so that we could ...

Praying Like Little Children

Oh how precious are the prayers of little children! They are innocent and, trusting. Children do not judge. They only know they like to make friends. Children should be our examples! If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, we would be in a better place. This is so so true when it comes to prayer. We don’t need to use language that is meant to impress others or, God for that matter. Can you imagine trying to impress God? What a waste of time. God knows everything about you.  When children come together they don't care about color, economics, religious affiliations, or sex. All they care about is making friends. As grown adults, we should follow their lead. Especially in our prayer life. We should want to make friends with God. God wants time with us because He is THE good good Father. He wants to hear from us in our own words. Tell Him about your day. Give your trials  and cares to Him. Lean on Him like a little child leans on their parents. Trust that the One wh...

The Broken Clay Jars

Image
In ancient times people stored their treasures in pottery jars which were molded by a skilled Potter and then baked until hard. He would decorate them with glaze or, paint and give them an ornate lid. Still, some were more functional and baked without adornment. These were all used to hold sacred scrolls or valuable documents. Pottery jars whether beautifully decorated or purely functional had one thing in common, they were fragile, temporary vessels. Just like these jars were made from earthen clay, our bodies were also formed from the earth. Genesis 2:7 HCSB Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.  Our bodies were created by God for many different purposes. Our bodies are God's own creation, perfectly designed, and also temporary. Much like these clay jars, our bodies are only temporal vessels to house God's most precious gift; the Light of the world. We ...
