Luke 9:60

Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God."

Heavenly Father, It is challenging at times for us to count the cost to be an aspiring disciple. We have so many family responsibilities. Forgive us for being slow, meditative, and contemplative instead of trusting where the Holy Spirit leads. Great is Your faithfulness so help us to have clear priorities. When calls Your heart may we be quick to respond so You may use us to bring about reconciliations, deliverances and miracles that can only come from You Almighty God. We desire to see Your manifest glory on the earth to set captives free by the truth of the Gospel. May we follow You dear Jesus wherever You so lead without fear or reservation. Grant us enthusiasm that come from Your Spirit alone. Truly it is hard to lose loved ones, so make us to bear witness telling of the blessed assurance we have to others who are sad, encouraging them they will see their loved ones again. For those in Christ will receive the gift to be together for all eternity. Father pour out Your comfort on those who mourn, as grief can be a harsh teacher, please remind us every day is a blessing from above. May we not get bitter for soon enough we shall rejoice as joy comes in the morning. May You see Lord our commitment to You is serious and may we be found devout. Not to religious activity but with a pure heart that is in a relationship with You, the King of the Universe the One who sweetly calls us friend.  May our love for You draw the hurting heart, restoring hope. Lord Jesus thank You for Your loving kindness and tender mercies. May singing Your praises continually to be on our lips as we give You all the honor. In Your matchless name we pray, Amen. 

John 4:39

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did."

You Lord God Most High know all that I ever did and great if Your faithfulness to forgive. Jesus You are the Savior of the world, period.  Father I come to You today in thanksgiving and praise of the souls You have already saved but Father there truly are very many more walking in darkness yet to see Your marvelous light. So I ask Lord for an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit to once again open blind eyes, deaf ear and soften harden hearts as Your children bear witness and testify of Your great love and mercy. I pray Father many will taste and see You are good. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to You and pour forth like streams in the desert to the parched in need of a drink. May the refreshing of Your servants bring about revival in this land. Turn back the darkness and restore Your church to shine again for Your glory. Father grant us boldness in this hour to shout it from the mountains "Great is our God and greatly to be praise! Jesus is the Messiah, the risen Christ. There is no other way to You Father but through Your amazing Son Jesus." I thank You Lord for Your loving kindness and tender mercies not only towards the lost but towards Your sons and daughters. Grant them strength to continue to stand for truth. Empower and embolden them to continue on to be Your hands and feet across the nation and the world. And in doing so bearing witness of the work You have done in us who were once lost but now found. Jesus I love You, please bless this day that we will rejoice and be glad in it. AMEN.

Zechariah 3:4

Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes."

I raise a hallelujah today Lord. Thank You for loving this and other wretched, poor and needy sinners. What a heavenly pleasing sound that must be echoing through the centuries. The voices of praise ringing through the halls of heaven moment by moment, day in and day out, month after month, year after year in thanksgiving for the salvation freely given.  In slight imagination only can I conceive of the endless joy of sinners coming home. Angels rejoicing continually throughout time. Breath taking I'm sure. The thought of it could cause me to burst because the goodness of it is ecstasy. Praise You Lord Jesus for not only taking away our sin-soiled garments but replacing them with the robe of righteousness. What can one say but bless the Lord oh my soul, thank You Jesus. Father send me today to share the good news, it so wonderful how can we not speak of it. I delight Father to bring glory to Your beautiful, merciful and gracious Son for His great sacrifice that is an eternal gift. Father open the ears of the lost to follow after the sound of the voice that calls come to Me all You who are burdened and I will give You rest. Again Lord I thank You for the cross, Amen.

Psalm 90:17

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

Heavenly Father, who is matchless in glory. May the beauty of Your pleasantness be upon Your sons and daughters. Grant us as You did Moses a sense of lasting meaning in life, something that will continue to the next generation.  May the demolishing of altar and smashing of idols clearing the way for the Your presence to have supremacy in and through us. It is a blessed life that desires to live quietly, work with our own hand and mind our own business. But what a challenge to most. Father grant us the wisdom to know were each of us is to be used to fight the battles of darkness that want to stomp out Your Light. Grant Your favor to Your children to persevere having victory in every combat. May Your faithful followers arise, shine with good purpose to glorifying of Your Son Jesus. May the good news of the gospel be shared with joy and thanksgiving to all those seeking for answers and willing to listen. Change the heart of stone to flesh, humble the wicked in our statehouse even removing their lampstands. Cleanse this nation from all our ungodliness. Father stop the killing of the preborn, the innocent shedding of blood. Turn the hearts of the evil ones agenda by bring haunting cries of the slaughter children ringing in their ears. May Your church arise, stand firm with great power to say no more and the wicked wither like dried up autumn leaves. Your mercy saves those who repent and seek forgiveness may they come to fall at Your beautiful feet in droves. Father pour Your love out like a warm blanket to wrap Your beloved family in to be protected from the cold harshness of cruel deeds, gross lies and malignant propagandas. Heal our land Lord by cleanses us from all our unrighteousness. In Your Precious name Jesus, Amen.

1 Timothy 4:1

Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirts and doctrines of demons... 

God was manifested in the flesh, Justified by the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. Oh Father more frightening than a horror movie is the fate of those who depart from the faith.  Your precious Son Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. The One received up in glory who is coming soon to judge the world. I cry out to You Father for mercy to call back the prodigals. Reveal to the departed the things they have be coerced to believe by deceiving spirts, restore them to sanity to cling to truth, the truth taught in Your holy scriptures. The truth that Jesus is ALIVE! He has RISEN! He is LORD and SAVIOR! Sharpen the dulled ears of Your creation to reject the doctrines of demons. Turn them away from occult practices and the thinking they are little gods. How dreadfully sad and truly exhausting to think and live that way. To be cut off from the One who give peace and joy wrapped in Your perfect love that casts out all fear. Jesus You are Lord of all. So Father please pour out the Holy Spirit to draw the lost to Your Son. For no great gift was given than the one Jesus gave to lay down His life to call us friend. Cover Your children today in the shadow of Your wing, shielding them from the evil works of the world. Strength them to stand for truth and be filled with thanksgiving as praise continue to fall from their lips. Bless Your children in amazing ways, continue to provide for their every need, bring comfort where they hurt and the healing of every disease. Be thou glorified and manifest in Your beloved body, Your church. May we continue to preach the good news.  I love You Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

1 Timothy 4:16

Deuteronomy 18:10 &11

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or medium, or spiritualist, or one who calls up the dead. 

To You Lord the one true and living God I bow my head and bend my knee for Your are King of the universe. There is none like You. Healing comes from Your hands that were once nailed to the cursed tree. So Lord why oh why is there still so much evil and the worship of that which is dead? Autumn is so lovely with its changing leaves, cooler air and pumpkin spice but it is visually marred by the outward reveal of the inner heart in the form of ghastly displays of darkness. How true Your words the time will come when they do not know how to blush and now is here. These pagan practices are an abomination to Your the giver and creator of life. In You there is no foul thing only purity and beauty. You alone are God. Foolishness abounds in those who think You do not see their deeds, the practice of conjuring up ways to manipulate the world around them with intent for selfish gain or the talking to dead saints who can not hear or respond instead of seeking You the only One who is able and gives good things to Your children. Father forgive them they know not what they are doing by bring death and deceptions upon their precious children under the gist of fun. Unveil the darken eyes to see the truth. Turn hearts of stone that are prideful and arrogant to hearts of flesh. Silence those who speak lies and lead people astray by making up tales of the future. Jesus I thank You and praise You for love that graciously poured forth from Your pierced side. Cleansing streams that wash us from all unrighteousness. You are magnificent, mighty and matchless in power and we need You to restore order from so much chaos. Father cover Your faithful children in the precious shed  blood of Your Son Jesus. By Your Spirit strengthen them to finish the work of evangelists, proclaiming the good news to the captives so they who once mocked and scoffed You may be free forever. You have promised whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Thank You for loving me and mine. May we love and honor You all our God given days. In the name above all names I pray and give thanks Jesus, Amen. 

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You in the name of Your only begotten Son Jesus with praise and adoration, for Your are mighty to save, protect and defend Your children. Your grace always amazes me. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadows You lead me beside still waters and restore my soul. Great is Your faithfulness. I have been young and now am older yet I have not seen the righteous left begging for bread. Your promise of never leaving or forsaken me brings comfort to my weary soul. Father there are so many heartbreaking things taking place these days, the list is long as You well know so please send Your blessed Holy Spirit to comfort Your children now. Those who grieve the losses of loved one, those preparing to let go of loved ones, those in difficult relationships and for those whose life's are in jeopardy be their strength as they look up to see their redemption draws nigh. Grant us by your grace to be steadfast, immovable and always abounding in Your work, knowing it is not in vain. Remind us death is swallowed up in victory and has no sting. May we not be afraid of terror by day nor arrow by night for we are covered in the precious blood of the Lamb who was slain and rose again. Thank You Jesus for upholding us with Your righteous right hand.  May our voices shout with glee for Your goodness. May You be glorified in and through all our challenges, struggles, hurts, disappointment and rejections. Thank You Father for hearing my prayers. I love You, Amen.
