When U Pray

It's not how you Pray, it's When U Pray

  • “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.”

    I’m reading my friend Kellen book titled “ONE” and I stumble across this scripture. It struck me pretty hard. I mean I read it like 2 days ago and it’s still heavy on mind. Its like God are you serious Gouge my eye out or cut my hand off?  So as I read further Kellen goes on to say “whats crazy is allowing our sin to continue to push us into Hells fire…” I know I know people don’t like to talk about sin but it’s SO REAL!! I know we think we can continue to act a fool and just tell God we are sorry and the gates of heaven will swing wide open. NOT SO, If you are truly serious about turning away from sin you have to pray over that “thing” and BEG God to remove it from your heart so that you wont do it anymore. I know we all sin daily and nobody I mean nobody is perfect. But that does not give us a free pass to act a fool.So I ask on this day what do you need to Gouge out your spirit, what do you need to cut out your life? I know its going to be hard but I promise you it’s so worth it!!!!!!!!!

  • It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost.

    Dear father, I am so thankful for all that you have done, all the promises you have kept and for keeping my mind safe from harm. Father as I go about my day I beg that you lead me, if I go alone I could get distracted, turned around lost and destroyed but with You, I know where I am going. Father as people and things frustrate me I ask that you renew my mind, renew my spirit and keep me from being used by the evil one. I love you God with all my heart and I ask that my actions reflect the love I have for you. Keep my mind and my mouth on safe ground. I ask these things in Jesus name, counting it all joy! Hallelujah Amen

  • Dear Father, you said when we pray, say this, Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is heaven. Let your will guide our steps and our hearts, cover us Lord and keep us in perfect peace. Father your ways are not our ways but we still need you to show us the way you would have us. Lord we struggle each day with trusting you because we are children, train us up Father and we will not depart from your will or your way. We need you Lord to teach us so we can walk in our destiny. in Jesus name, Amen.

  • Isn’t it great when you find that perfect man/woman who does everything just right? They love you, provide for you, doesn’t get angry, let’s you have your way all the time, buys you just because gifts, flowers and chocolates. I’m on the floor laughing because I don’t know anyone who is that perfect, do you? I’d probably get sick of them after about a week, lol. It seems like it would be easy to love that person right?
    “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. (Luke-Acts 6:32 BOOKS)

    How about that person that lies all the time, that steals from you, hurts you, makes you cry, won’t get off drugs, won’t stop beating you or cheating on you? It’s easy to be “done with them”cause love ain’t like that, if they loved me they would not do that, if that’s what love is, I’m good. Any of that sound familiar, it does to me. I’m struggling with that right now and it’s hurting me because I loved that person and did everything in my power to help them and I kept getting mistreated in the situation. I washed my hands of them, but God keeps reminding me of me? How I’ve not done right all the time, I’m not perfect, I’ve hurt people.
    “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. (Luke-Acts 6:37 BOOKS)

    So I’m saying a prayer this morning, dear Father, give me a clean heart, renew the right spirit in me and let me be compassionate to the suffering of others. Lord if I turn away in my flesh, turn me back. I love you Lord, and I praise your Holy Name. in Jesus name, Amen.

  •  26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.  28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”  29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there. 30 So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

    I was reading this scripture and it really touched me. We have to be more like Jacob in situations. Tell God We wont let him go until he bless us. When going through certain life changes we have to trust God with everything that we have. It’s so easy to get discouraged or feel that God has left us but he is right there every time. Even when we bring a lot of pain on ourselves. Think of all the situations that you should not have been in and God still found a way to make it better. But let’s be real, if you are not doing your part, God can not do his. So we have to make a conscious decision on what and whom we will serve. When you believe God with your heart, you will not doubt what his word says. So on this day lets not just say we are christians lets start to act like one. Unbelievers have the heart for everything worldly. We can’t call ourselves christians and want the same things they want. Kingdom living is what it’s all about!!! 

  • I can hear Eddie Murphy in Coming to America singing in my head “To be loved, to be loved ohhh what a feeling to be loved”, when he fell in love with his Queen. Remember how good it feels to know you are loved? What about the butterflies you get when you hear their voice, when they touch your hand, when they comfort you, when you finally get it, they love you and they are not leaving. What about when they have seen you at your best and worst and loves you anyway. That’s the love I’m talking about. Agape Love

    Who do you love so much that you would kill your child for them? I must be honest and say I could not kill my child even to save myself. But that’s how God loves!

    Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. (John 3:16 ERV)

    When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways. It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as God has known me. So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:11-13 ERV)

  •  “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” (philippians 3:13NIV)

    How much time do we spend looking behind us. Rather it is worrying about why a friendship was lost or wondering could a relationship have made it, if we just gave it one more try. We have so much to look forward too but yet we spend so much time focusing on the past. Today I challenge you to stop stalking your ex page, stop worrying about why people have stop dealing with you. Stop being upset that you didn’t get that promotion. Stop focusing on anything that is not present. God has plans for you but he can’t give them to you if you are worried about the doors that he closed for a REASON…

     

    Father God we come to you this day saying thank you for love and thank you for life.. Father God thank you for sacrificing your son for us knowing that we are so not worthy.. Thank you for just being you!! On this day Father we vow to stop looking behind us and start focusing on whats in front of us!! You wake us up everyday and its time we start taking advantage of the 24hrs you give us. No more pity, no more drama, no more hate, no more worrying, no more being mad at others for their blessings. Father God we will need your strength and power to do these things and we demand them on this day.. Father release positivity in the atmosphere, release peace and love so that people can enjoy the lives that you have given them. Father God you never said this walk would be easy but we know that it is worth it and we will give you our all not just today but everyday!!! In Jesus name we pray and ask it all… AMEN!!!!

  • “Simon, Simon! Listen! Satan has received permission to test all of you, to separate the good from the bad, as a farmer separates the wheat from the chaff. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:31, 32 GNT)

    Good morning Lord, I am coming to you will a heart filled with gratefulness. I thank you for the sacrifice your Son made at the cross, for the blood that allows me access to the tree of life. As I go on this day, Lord I ask that you give me peace, the peace of the Holy Spirit that allows me to trust you, I know you are working on my behalf and I need your peace so that I stay out of your way Father as you work these situations out. I pray that same peace for my sisters, when the evil liar tries to tell them they are not worthy, that sin is separating them from you, when the liar tries to tell them they can’t do it, they are not pretty enough or any other vile lie, let the blood that rained down Calvary’s cross cover them and grant them peace. We shout Thank You! In Jesus name, amen.

    I love you Lord

  • “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons” (1 Corinthians 41:21NIV)

     

    Lets take an inventory of what we think about.. Now lets look at what we spend most of our time on.. The things that we think about and the things that we spend most of our time on shows whats important to us. If you spend all day gossiping and worrying about someone else business that’s whats important to you. If you spend all day on social sites and blog sites then that’s what is important to you. How many hours in a day do we spend giving glory to God? Is it a couple of minutes after all your favorite shows go off, or is it a quick prayer before we fall asleep at night. I know im guilty of most of these and many more things. See the devil want to keep you so busy that you forget to spend time with God. If he can keep you busy with foolishness then he won.

    How many times do we feel we can do the Lords work and still play in the world and be cool because of Grace and Mercy? Well just a FYI Grace is given of course because you woke up this morning. However the promises of God are given to us by being doers of the WORD… Whew Lord HELP US.

    Father God we come before your throne saying thank you for waking us up this morning. Thank you for allowing us to see another day. Father God we ask for forgiveness for our lack of knowledge and selfish ways. Father give us the wisdom to not only hear your word but to live accordingly.. Thank you for constantly showering us with Grace and Mercy when we KNOW we are not worthy. On this day God if you ask whom shall we serve? We will scream you Lord God.. You are so worthy to be praised.. We love you and we will constantly lift your name on high.. In Jesus name we pray.. AMEN!!

     

     

  • Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

    Cry if you need to. Sometimes life is so overwhelming all you can do is cry. Lyfe Jennings said “crying is like taking your soul to laundry mat.” Sometimes it needs to go. I tell you life is crazy sometimes, you get negative so many negative ideas poured into your mind and that’s all you hear. Anybody ever tell you that something on you was not to their liking? You know, your butt is too fat, your nose is too big, your stomach ain’t as flat as it used to be. Girl when you gone gain some weight. Girl you still working out? Is that your hair or some weave, cause it’s a mess. Why does it seem like after you hear all that negativity someone can say the nicest thing to you, tell you how great you look, how pretty you are etc etc etc , and all you hear is the negative? There is always hope in the kingdom.

    We have this treasure from God, but we are only like clay jars that hold the treasure. This is to show that the amazing power we have is from God, not from us. We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We often don’t know what to do, but we don’t give up. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed. (2 Corinthians 4:7-9 ERV)

    Let it all out, the pain the hurt the anger and the frustration , cry child, let it go because it is poisoning your spirit.
    Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2 ESV)

    I know the best thing we can do is always to enjoy life, because God’s gift to us is the happiness we get from our food and drink and from the work we do. Everything God has done will last for ever; nothing he does can ever be changed. God has done all this, so that we will worship him. (Ecclesiastes 3:12-14 CEVUK00)

  • Who remembers the No Fear advertising commercials? These ads reminded you not to be afraid. My favorite one said “Second place is the first loser”. Something about that touched me because 20 years later it still resonates in my mind and heart. No Fear!

    When I find myself afraid I have to talk myself down because life is scary. Out of nowhere came a fear of bridges and overpasses. I had no desire to
    drive, I was 30 years old before really started driving. People hear that and ask, did you get over your fear? Nope, but it’s something I have to do, some days I’m crying and shaking but I keep going. NO FEAR!
    The Spirit God gave us does not make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and love and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7 ERV)

    Lord, you have given me your shield to protect me. It is your help that has made me great. (2 Samuel 22:36 ERV)

    I remind myself in the middle of my fear what GOD SAID. The enemy will try and tell you how bad something is, how your situation is dire and can’t be saved. Lie lie lie that’s what he does. For nothing is impossible with God. ” (Luke 1:37 NLT) boom, killed it, the lie is revealed. There is nothing too hard for God.

    Whatever your fear is, give it to God!

    Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6, 7 NKJV)

  • Do you ever feel like “it’s always something?” Something to get over, something is broken, something is wrong, someone is acting a fool, something has caused you unspeakable pain? It’s true, it is always something! Real life happens and we have these tragedies that try to take us out. We have things happen that are unimaginable. Your husband is cheating on you or beating on you and you can’t see an end to the pain. Your children or spouse is on drugs and bringing turmoil to your family and nothing seems to help, not even prayer. You lose your job or your spouse does and now you have bills and bill collectors climbing up your back. Maybe a loved one is overtaken with some long term terminal illness and it seems as if your prayers are unanswered. Maybe there is a death of a loved one. Maybe your on drugs and can’t see an end. Maybe your a molester or an abuser?

    Just like it’s always something happening in your life to destroy you, there is something to help you, to keep you strong, to build you up where your torn down, to heal your pain, to ease your struggle, to calm the raging storm. I call him Emmanuel, God with us!
    “The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel.” (Immanuel means “God with us.”) (Matthew 1:23 ERV)

    Trust God has made a way for you to escape your situation. You may not know how to pray or how to find scripture in the bible. You don’t feel as if you can trust anyone with your secrets (good idea), but you got knees, get down on them and ask God to be with you. Ask Jesus to save you and he will. He will provide everything you need, every step of the way you will be covered.

    Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 ERV)

  • I was riding to work today and I realized that I need a little pick me up. I would like for you to share some of your favorite scriptures with me that help you get through some rough patches or just because… I will share a couple of mine as well..

    Everyone that knows me know that my ALL time favorite scripture is 1 Samuel 10:6 “Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man..

    My very close second is Matthew 6:25-26 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?…

    Deuteronomy 30:16 “in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.”

    I love you guys and I really hope that you share with me some of your favorite scriptures. I hope that you have a wonderful day because you deserve it.. Now Go be GREAT!!!!

  • Then God said to Moses, “Tell them, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ When you go to the Israelites, tell them, ‘I AM’ sent me to you.” (Exodus 3:14 ERV)

    God, you have been my king for a long time. The whole earth has seen you save us over and over again. You parted the Red Sea by your power. You broke the heads of that sea monster in Egypt. You crushed the heads of the sea monster Leviathan. You fed it to the creatures of the desert. You opened up streams and springs. You dried up rivers that flow all year long. You rule over the day and the night. You created the sun and the moon. You decided where the borders of the earth would be. You made both summer and winter. (Psalm 74:12-17 NIRV)

    “But in your great mercy you did not abandon them to die in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud still led them forward by day, and the pillar of fire showed them the way through the night. You sent your good Spirit to instruct them, and you did not stop giving them manna from heaven or water for their thirst. For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell! (Nehemiah 9:19-21 NLT)

    I tell you not to worry about your life. Don’t worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food or clothing? Can worry make you live longer? Don’t worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?” Only people who don’t know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows you need all of these. Don’t worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today. (Matthew 6:25, 27, 31, 32, 34 CEVDCUS06)

    I asked God for the words to tell you today, none of mines seemed enough to answer the questions of his people, but I praise his Holy Name, his words are sufficient.

    For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways, says the Lord. For just as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so also are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts. And in the same manner as rain and snow descend from heaven, and no longer return there, but soak the earth, and water it, and cause it to bloom and to provide seed to the sower and bread to the hungry, so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish whatever I will, and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:8-11 CPDV)
