POWER IN THE WORDS OF GOD. Today's Verse “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, o Lord, my strength and my redeemer.” - Psalm 19:14

Have you ever had to make a speech in front of an audience? It can be a very challenging task. You have a limited amount of time to convey your message successfully to those who are listening. Planning is the key to achieving the goal. When you use the proper words, it can captivate your listeners. It can also enrich you with a sense of accomplishment. We have a similar challenge to face in our own spoken life. Words are like powerful tools from the heart. When they are used correctly, they can cultivate great things. But, when they are used incorrectly, the results can be discouraging. We must try to ensure that our words are positive and pleasing to God, to others, and to ourselves. This brings great honor to God and to our relationship with Him. It is an encouragement for others and blesses their life. It is also a great enrichment for our life.

Today's Prayer Most gracious Father, I want to be a beautiful reflection of Your magnificent love. Help me to pattern my spoken life so that others will see You in me. All glory to you.

Is It Wrong To Pray For Someone's Well Being Without Their Consent?

IS IT WRONG TO PRAY FOR SOMEONES WELL BEING WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT?

Biblical point of view, there is nothing wrong to pray for someone’s well being without their consent. If it is wrong, there would not be a prayer called, prayer of intersession.

God gives us instructions to pray for others in several places in the Bible. The apostle James tells us to “pray for one another, that you may be healed” (James 5:16).

The apostle Paul encourages us to intercede for Church members and ministers, “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains” (Ephesians 6:18-20).

Paul exhorts us “that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2, emphasis added throughout).

Jesus Christ even commanded, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44, emphasis added).

Why does God want us to pray for others? Because intercessory prayer reflects God’s own character of outgoing love and mercy. God wants us to think like He does, and praying for others helps us to think beyond ourselves and to grow in compassion for others.

Why does God want us to pray for others? Because intercessory prayer reflects God’s own character of outgoing love and mercy. God wants us to think like He does, and praying for others helps us to think beyond ourselves and to grow in compassion for others.

God compares prayer with sweet-smelling incense that pleases Him (Revelation 5:8).

Misconceptions about intercessory prayer

Intercessory prayer is not a numbers game. God does not have to wait until 10 or 20 or 100 people pray about a situation in order to intervene. Prayer is not a vote or petition that God has to act on if enough people “sign” it. Our prayers can’t force God to do anything. He can and does act when the time is best, whether one or a million pray about it.

Also, intercessory prayer is not something we should do to try to earn points with God so we can collect when something bad happens to us. Our motivation must be love—outgoing, unselfish concern.

What about the person seeking prayers? Can a person ask other believers to pray for him and then find it unnecessary to pray himself? No, we can’t delegate prayer. Prayer is part of our personal relationship with God, and so we must go to Him fervently ourselves, whether or not others are praying for us.

How to intercede in prayer

Prayer is a vital part of our communication with our loving Father in heaven. In the Bible He tells us how we can pray most effectively—in a way that pleases Him. Here are a few biblical principles for effective intercessory prayer. We should pray:

• From the heart.
• Regularly. In what is often called the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus told us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” . We should pray for our needs and the needs of others every day.
• In detail. God knows everything; but He wants us to come to Him with all our specific requests because He likes to hear from us and to know what is important to us. The Bible compares our prayers to incense, and God loves prayers that are like “sweet incense beaten fine” (Leviticus 16:12).
• With faith, knowing that God has all power and loves the people we are praying for.
• With love. Godly love is totally unselfish and is the essence of God’s character .
• Fervently. James 5:16 tells us “the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
• With a desire to help where we can. This might include physical help and encouragement. Cards, calls and visits might be helpful. It is not wrong to tell a person you are praying for him or her if it will help encourage the person.
• Occasionally with fasting. When a situation is very serious or hits close to home for you, you may decide to fast and pray to draw close to God to present your supplication to Him.

Study biblical examples of intercessory prayer

The Bible gives many examples of people praying for others, and we can learn a lot by studying and meditating on these examples. Here are just a few:

• Abraham interceded for the people of Sodom for the sake of his nephew Lot (Genesis 18:23-33).
• Moses pleaded for God’s mercy for the sinning people of Israel (Exodus 32:9-14; Numbers 14:11-20).
• Daniel made supplication to God for his people (Daniel 9:3-19).
• The apostle Peter prayed for Dorcas (Acts 9:36-41).
• The apostle Paul prayed for the people he served (Romans 1:9-10; 10:1; Ephesians 1:15-19; Philippians 1:3-11; 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13).

In all, use powerful prayer points to pray. Surely, God will answers your prayers. Amen

“Thou we pass through tribulation. All is well in His name. Ours is such a full salvation. All is well. Happy, still in God confiding, fruitful,if in Christ abiding, Holy, through the spirit guiding, all must be well.”

“We expect a bright tomorrow through our prayers, all will be well. Faith can sing through days of sorrow, All will be well. Christ our every need supplying, whether living now or dying, All must be well in the name of Jesus. Amen.

As for me , I preferred praying between 12 am -3 am in the Night and God has been faithful to me. He will be faithful to you also, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

My Sacrifice.

Today's Verse “But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord along.” – Jonah 2:9

While there is still a lot more to Jonah’s story then one or two verses, this verse in chapter two is probably one of the most important. It is here that Jonah begins to realize his true calling. It is here that he begins to see past his own selfishness and into the bigger picture. At this point he doesn't realize it yet, but God is teaching him one of the most important lessons a believer will ever learn. It is the lesson that reveals our reason for being. Each of us have been given a specific purpose in life and whether you can see it right now or not, it’s there. Jonah makes a solemn promise to “offer songs of praise and fulfill his vow to serve the Lord alone.” Today is a great day for us to do the same.

Today's Prayer Father God, today I pray the prayer of Jonah. I will indeed offer my song of praise to You and fulfill my vow in service to You alone. Forgive me and teach me, so that I may serve You in the best way I can. Amen.

Lead Us Not Into Temptation O Lord.

                         LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION O LORD.

Today's Verse “Let us therefore no longer pass judgement on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another” – Romans 14:13

There are always going to be those moments in which we make some type of mistake and stumble as we live our lives. We are only human after all, right? In many ways this is the right assumption, but an important part of living is recognizing those mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes we can make is passing judgement on those around us without first getting the complete picture. We need the other side of the coin, so to speak, to make a sound judgement. Here in the book of Romans, Paul challenges us to do just that. We all have those moments of weakness in our lives, but when we make the extra effort to embrace forgiveness over judgement we break through those moments and live better because of it. --

Today's Prayer Father God, today I pray that You will help me look past what I see on the surface of everything I encounter. Show me how I can embrace forgiveness over judgement. Amen. For more prayers, please, go here: http://www.myprayerpoints.blogspot.com

3 Point Plan For Prayer.

  3 POINT PLAN FOR PRAYER.

I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. —John 17:9

Every day I try to pray for the members of my family: my husband Lynn and two college kids far away from home and Kendall who is making her way through high school and my niece Vanessa and Lynn’s parents…the list goes on. I often used to feel that I wasn’t praying effectively for them because I wasn’t always sure of what their specific needs were that day. Frequently I’d finish with the vague regret that I’d forgotten some important things.

That’s why I delighted in the advice of an older woman, a beloved prayer warrior in our church who told me that when praying for others, she always followed Jesus’ pattern of prayer for His disciples described in John 17. At the Last Supper, Jesus asked God to:

• Protect them from the evil one (John 17:15).

• Sanctify them—make them holy—by the Truth of Your Word (John 17:17).

• Unite them to You and to each other that the world might believe (John 17:21).

This pattern of prayer is becoming my new Three-Point Plan when praying for my family. Protect, sanctify and unite are simple but powerful points that are easy to remember. And even when I’m in a hurry, I feel that I’m covering most of the bases.

Father, You have given me a circle of precious people to pray for, and now I discover that You have shown me how to pray for them. Thank You.

How To Get What We Ask For In Prayer.

How to Get What We Ask for in Prayer.

One of the most significant verses in the Bible on prayer is 1 John 3:22, "And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight." What an astounding statement! John says, in so many words, that everything he asked for he got. How many of us can say this: "Whatsoever I ask I receive?" But John explains this was because we obey God's commands and do what pleases him. In other words, the one who expects God to do as he asks, must do what God wants him to. If we give a listening ear to all God's commands to us, He will give a listening ear to all our petitions to Him.


 If, on the other hand, we turn a deaf ear to His precepts, He will be likely to turn a deaf ear to our prayers. Here we find the secret of much unanswered prayer. We are not listening to God's Word, and therefore He is not listening to our petitions. How to Pray in the Name of Christ It was a wonderful word about prayer that Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 16:23, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." Prayer in the name of Christ has power with God. God is very pleased with His Son Jesus Christ. He hears Him always, and He also always hears the prayer that is really in His name. But what is it to pray in the name of Christ?


 There is nothing mystical or mysterious about this expression. If you go through the Bible and examine all the passages in which the expression "in My name" or "in His name" or similar expressions are used, you will find that it means just about what it does in modern usage.

 If I go to a bank and hand in a check with my name signed on it, I ask for money from the bank in my own name. If I have money deposited in that account, the check will be cashed; if not, it will not be. If, however, I go to a bank with somebody else’s name signed on the check, I am asking in his name, and it does not matter whether I have money in that bank or any other, if the person whose name is signed on the check has money in their account, the check will be cashed. So it is when I go to the bank of Heaven, when I go to God in prayer. I have nothing deposited there and if I go in my own name I will get absolutely nothing; but Jesus Christ has granted to me the privilege of going to the bank with His name on my checks, and when I go, my prayers will be honored to any extent. To pray then in the name of Christ is to renounce the thought that I have any claims on God whatever, and approach Him on the ground of Christ's claims.

Praying in the name of Christ is not merely adding the phrase "I ask these things in Jesus' name" to my prayer. I may put that phrase in my prayer and really be resting in my own merit at the time. On the other hand, I might leave out that phrase but really be resting in the merit of Christ. But when I really do approach God, not on the ground of my merit, but on the ground of Christ's merit, God will hear me. A lot of our modern prayer is ineffective because men approach God imagining that they have some claim upon God where He is under obligations to answer their prayers. Great light is thrown upon the subject of "How to Pray" in 1 John 5:14-15: "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him." This passage teaches us plainly that if we are to pray right, we must pray according to God's will.
