Always Start The Day Blessed and In God's Presence | Beautiful Morning Prayers

luke chapter 6 verse 45 says the good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks the amplified translation for this verse says the intrinsically good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure stored in his heart and the intrinsically evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil in his heart for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart what we say reveals what's in our hearts the words that we speak reveal the contents of our hearts and so the question is what's coming out of your mouth what have you stored in your heart because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks so if god's word is what's stored in your heart then inevitably your words will reflect that have you ever wondered why people can recite the lyrics to a song that came out years ago but they can't seem to recite more than three bible verses it's all to do with what's in the heart so we should be mindful of what we are feeding on what we are dwelling and meditating on [Music] what are you consuming for your heart is it the word of god or is it worldly entertainment because that will be reflected when you speak now not only are words a reflection of what's in your heart but words have power the bible says in proverbs chapter 18 verse 21 death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit meaning our tongues can either build or tear down our tongues can either curse or bless they can declare the word of god and speak life into a situation or they can speak destruction so how do your words affect you how are they shaping your life how are they impacting your future now with that said proverbs chapter 15 verse 4 says a gentle tongue is a tree of life but perverseness in it breaks the spirit the bible likens a wholesome tongue a gentle clean and pure tongue to a tree of life you have to understand that your words have power and they have even more power when they are combined with faith and the word of god so our prayer today our request to the lord should be that our words are first and foremost pleasing to him our prayer should be that our lips are found to always always be offering praises to the lord the words we speak ought to encourage others in the faith they ought to testify to the unbeliever about the goodness of jesus christ and our words should never destroy the faith of another believer and finally we need to pray that our words the words that we speak may bear good fruit in our lives may they produce good and acceptable things in the sight of the lord [Music] now let us pray king jesus you are an awesome and mighty god i praise you for your amazing grace and love father today i pray that the words i speak may they lead me to life may they be words that build and encourage those around me give me a wholesome tongue lord so that i may be found to be speaking words that impact my life in a positive and godly way i pray that you would give me a wholesome tongue so that i may be speaking words that are in line with your will and purpose for me transform my heart so that the words that come out of my mouth may be in line with your will and purpose for me may the words that come out of my mouth be a reflection of your transformative work change my heart lord so that my words will be words of faith hope and victory holy spirit i pray that you would guide me and give me the presence of mind to always speak positive words words of faith and victory over myself over my family and my loved ones guide me to speak the word of god always lord i pray that i would not use my words to simply describe the situation and circumstances that i find myself in but through the authority that in the name of jesus christ i will speak god's word into every situation that i face so that you king jesus may have all the power and all the glory holy spirit may you help me so that i may not have a tongue that always speaks of how big my problems are but i pray that you would give me a mouth and the faith to tell my problems about how big my god is father your word in proverbs chapter 6 verse 2 tells me that you are snared by the words of your mouth you are taken by the words of your mouth therefore i choose to declare your goodness over my life i declare that i am expecting my god to overwhelm me with his goodness and amaze me with his favor [Music] your word in psalm chapter 31 verse 19 says o how abundant is your goodness which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you in the sight of the children of mankind lord i pray that i would continue to experience your abundant goodness lord jesus i pray that my family and i will continue to experience your kindness and your faithfulness your love and grace mean that as sons and daughters in your kingdom we will not worry we will not live in doubt we will not fear but instead we will keep our trust in you knowing that you are a god who will not fail you are a god who will never let us down your word says in luke 21 15 for i will give you a mouth and wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict i receive this promise give me a mouth of wisdom a mouth that is aware of the power and significance of my words and so out of the abundance of my mouth may i speak your word lord may i speak about your love and your amazing grace and the unmerited favor that is upon my life and my home lord i thank you for listening to this prayer be blessed and be glorified in jesus name i pray amen [Music] you see satan is always looking for opportunities to lead people away from god and set them on a path of destruction his tactics can be fierce the temptation he offers can be compelling to the flesh but i do want to remind you that we have a savior in jesus christ yes we may be in a position where we have more questions than answers but that doesn't change the fact that we have a savior in jesus christ we may be attacked by fear at some point but we do have a savior a deliverer one who can redeem us and his name is jesus christ saints i encourage you to rest in the knowledge that god will be with us through every battle he will not abandon us and leave us to be defeated he will not remove his faithful love from us and leave us to fend for ourselves and i would like to speak to someone today and encourage them to believe believe that jesus christ can still do the impossible in your life in your home and for your family believe that jesus christ can still change circumstances and make them work out for your good jesus is the light that drives out the darkness at the name of jesus satan has to flee demons have to tremble and nature has to bow down christ alone has ultimate authority over all creation and he has promised to be with us in every struggle and sometimes we can't avoid passing through the deep waters of life we may be surrounded by evil on all sides we may not be able to change our circumstances but if we can only walk by faith and not by sight we will see the hand of god moving in our lives we will see that he is faithful to his word and he will protect us from harm in first john chapter 4 verse 4 the bible says little children you are from god and have overcome them for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world let god be your strength let him be the calm in your storm let him be the peace in your heart [Music] now let us pray lord jesus may you get all the glory in my life teach me to be more patient teach me lord to be more reliant and trusting in you i believe that when i face difficulties and when i face challenges in life you will be my rescue holy spirit help me and teach me so that before i go anywhere else searching for solutions before i look anywhere else for answers let me seek the counsel of the lord let me search the word of god first because in jesus i have a god who moves mountains and speaks calm to every storm in jesus i have a god who performs miracles a god who can make a way where there seems to be no way i pray that through your word i will be renewed and refreshed in every part of my life protect me from all manner and form of evil father let me not be deceived but give me the wisdom to discern to discern that which is pleasing to your will help me lord to cast out anything that seeks to corrupt every spirit that seeks to disturb or hinder me from seeking you i pray that in the name of jesus it will have no authority no effect upon my life drive out all of the darkness around me lord jesus and lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil the enemy seeks only to steal kill and destroy but you lord you have come to give life and in you there is fullness of joy [Music] lord jesus may you get all the glory in my life teach me to be more patient teach me lord to be more reliant and trusting in you i believe that when i face difficulties and when i face challenges in life you will be my rescue i believe that when i am in deep waters you will stay true to your word in isaiah 43 verse 2 which says when you pass through the waters i will be with you and through the rivers they shall not overwhelm you when you walk through fire you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you we choose to forsake the things of this world and to seek you jesus we invite you to come into our hearts and set a blaze a passion and a desire for righteousness more of you lord and less of me let that become the cry in our hearts for the one who is broken for the one who has been abandoned one too many times we invite you king jesus to do the impossible do what no man can do and heal their hearts i praise you lord because all authority belongs to you at the sound of your voice every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that jesus christ is lord at your voice lord the demons will tremble in fear in your presence there is no other power that can stand and i pray that regardless of the doubts that the enemy may try and plant in my heart let nothing take away my faith in you let nothing steal the promise of eternal life that i have in you father i praise you for your love i thank you for your protection i pray that you would be with me each and every day and each and every moment lord jesus i will continue to trust in you to trust in your word your will is divine and it overrules my own will your plans are just and they are better than anything i could ever imagine and so i bless your name i relinquish all control and give you the glory honor and praise forevermore in jesus name i pray amen [Music] psalm 141 verse 4 reads do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that i take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evil doers do not let me eat their delicacies the reason i find this passage of scripture to be so powerful is because it's honest the psalmist here is being honest he is saying the kind of thing that most christians would never dream of saying out loud and that is lord don't allow my heart to be drawn to consent or to tolerate sin and the last line of this verse is about as honest as you can get as the psalmist says do not let me eat their delicacies listen sin can be delicious to the flesh you'll never hear anyone say i really didn't enjoy committing that sin i didn't enjoy worshiping the idol of money now that my bank account is healthy or they won't say i didn't enjoy fornicating people will feel guilty yes but more often than not everyone who commits sin enjoys it because well the body is sinful and so it will enjoy pleasure rather than prayer it would rather indulge in selfish gain than serve the body of christ it would rather do as it pleases and be impulsive rather than to be subjected to righteousness this is why paul says in first corinthians 9 verses 25 through 27 every athlete exercises self-control in all things they do it to receive a perishable wreath but we an imperishable so i do not run aimlessly i do not box as one beating the air but i discipline my body and keep it under control lest after preaching to others i myself should be disqualified paul is telling us that he strictly disciplines his body he crucifies it and so if we know the unspoken truth which is that sin is like a delicacy one may ask why can't i enjoy a little bit of sin and a little bit of god why can't i dip my toes in the water and just have a little bit of pleasure but then come run back to god well saints first and foremost sin will always take more from you than you're willing to give you may think it's just this one occasion but that occasion leads to a frequent occurrence that frequent occurrence then leads to an addiction and that addiction will get you into total bondage and finally when sin is full grown well here's what the bible says concerning that in james 1 verse 15 it reads then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death sin is a killer sin flatters to deceive sin it's a temporary pleasure that has painful consequences once again let me remind you that psalm 141 verse 4 it reads do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that i take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evil doers do not let me eat their delicacies let this be your prayer let this be your cry when the devil offers you a tempting plate of a sinful delicacy run to jesus because in him alone you have liberty you have freedom you have the power to say no you have the power to resist you have the power to withstand absolutely any temptation that you may face let us pray lord jesus you are faithful and you are true you are a righteous god and you are a holy merciful and just god lord when we cry for help when we run to you we do it because on our own we cannot go far on our own we will fail and we will fall but king jesus we trust that you will not let us down we trust that you will empower us with the holy spirit if we call on the name that is above all names then we have a way of escape from every temptation your word says in first corinthians 10 verse 13 no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man god is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it i thank you lord for being compassionate and trustworthy thank you for the promise that you will not let us be tempted beyond our ability to resist thank you that you will always provide a way out of a temptation so that we will be able to endure it without yielding and by your grace lord we will overcome temptation i declare that there is no temptation placed before me that i cannot overcome through the blood of jesus christ it's in you lord that i have the strength to overcome it's in you king jesus that i can resist that devil and watch him flee from me it's in you my master that i can live and walk in purity [Music] strengthen me father i pray that i would grow in my love for you in my hunger for you lord help me to always choose righteousness instead of sin help me to respond to the call of holiness and to resist the pull of sin [Music] first corinthians 6 13 says food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food and god will destroy both one and the other the body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the lord and the lord for the body my body is indeed meant for you i am created to serve you and to worship you lord and i submit to you i say to you that i'm willing lord i have a desire to serve you wholeheartedly i have a desire to worship you with every fiber of being that is within me father i pray that you would not let my heart be drawn to what is evil let my heart not be drawn to what is sinful or wicked but lord let it be drawn to your word and to your presence transform my heart so that i would not take part in any wicked deeds let me not be associated with evildoers but instead i pray that you would lead me into the company of godly people people who will encourage me to pursue righteousness lord jesus may your name be praised may your name be lifted high god i thank you for hearing this prayer and i pray it in the name of jesus amen and amen does god still perform miracles does god still heal he certainly does i believe that the lord still heals the blind and causes them to see i believe that jesus can still speak to sickness in a person's body and command it to leave saints i truly believe the lord still heals today in the same way and according to the same standards if you will that he did when he walked on this earth thousands of years ago the bible says in hebrews 13 verse 8 jesus christ is the same yesterday today and forever and this i believe is an important scripture for every believer to remember because it means that jesus was a healer he is a healer and he will forever be a healer our lord does not change the same jesus who cast out evil spirits can still cast them out today the same jesus who freed those who were oppressed by demons can still free anyone oppressed today [Music] and the same jesus who healed all that were sick can still heal all today matthew 14 verse 35 to 36 says and when the men of that place recognized him they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment and as many as touched it were made well you and i can still touch the fringe of his garment through faith and be healed we can still be made perfectly well because the word of god also says if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes matthew 15 30 says and great crowds came to him bringing with them the lame the blind the the mute and many others and they put them at his feet and he healed them the same jesus who healed great crowds he still heals today he still has power today the same jesus who healed blind bartimaeus and the woman with the issue of blood is still healing today so i encourage you to bow down and surrender to the one and only son of god lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now and so let us pray dear heavenly father we come before you today seeking for a touch from your almighty hand we welcome you to do as you will father and have your way in our lives you are the king of kings and the lord of lords there is none like you there is no other healer besides you there is no better doctor than you king jesus there is no better physician than you lord your word says in isaiah 53 verse 5 but he was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace and with his wounds we are healed so today we declare that by your stripes we are healed not because we say so but because your word says so and because it is written in your word we have faith that it can happen we have the faith and belief that if it is in your will then healing will take place in our bodies in our hearts and minds you know what is best for us father and you will never give us something that we cannot handle or overcome with your strength and lord you are in control your will has the final say over all matters and so if it is your will that we may experience healing today then we praise you and we give you thanks and honor and if it is your will that we might not be healed yet then we submit lord and accept that you will give us the grace to not only endure but to wait on you faithfully lord so long as you are with us as long as you are leading us as our shepherd and god then we know that even though we may walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will have no fear there is no evil that we will fear because your rod and staff will comfort us father we ask for your grace even as we pray and ask for healing we pray that we would not be discouraged or afraid even if our healing doesn't come within our own timing we will choose to trust your timing above mind we choose to have faith in your divine plan because our lives are in your loving hands lord jesus you deserve all of the praise my future and my health are all in your hands and regardless of what earthly doctors may say i will remain confident that i am always safe and taken care of by you lord as your children we are blessed to be under the care of the greatest healer and chief physician and so lord jesus we are not going to chase healing but instead we will chase you lord we will not chase miracles but instead we will chase the one who performs miracles which is you and because you paid the ultimate price on the cross i know that i can always count on you king jesus being there in my life even in times when it doesn't seem like you are there and because your word says you are the same yesterday today and forever i can always depend on your character to never change i can always depend on your love to see me through and strengthen me i depend on you in all things at all times and in all ways though the world changes circumstances change people change and even myself as a person i can change however you lord jesus never change you're an unchanging god you were a healer many years ago and you are a healer today you were a miracle worker many years ago and you are a miracle worker today be glorified lord jesus you are great and awesome i pray that you would help me step out in faith and trust you always i can't always change my circumstances but i will decide to trust in you fully lord jesus help me to fight and change my attitude and outlook on life so that i will always walk by faith and not by sight james chapter 1 verse 2 to 4 says count it all joy my brothers when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its full effect that you might be perfect and complete lacking in nothing as i pray that you would strengthen my faith i understand that the testing of my faith produces endurance help me king jesus to have a faith that is strong and resilient help me lord to have the faith that believes you will outlast my problem we believe that we can always count on you my lord thank you for hearing this prayer we receive healing in your presence we receive restoration in your presence we believe that we can and will be made whole again in your presence i bless your holy name in jesus name i pray [Music] amen the bible in romans chapter 8 verse 28 says and we know that for those who love god all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose now i am sure that each of us as we've gone through certain things in life as we faced difficulties and challenges i am sure that at one point or another every one of us has tried to figure out how this situation we're in will work out for our good and the thing is as humans we want to know all of the details we want to know how god will make a way we want to know exactly how god will make a way where there seems to be no way we tend to be so focused on details now the bible in psalm chapter 34 verse 19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivers him out of them all and we can read this verse we can recite this verse but once we are in the middle of an affliction we want to know exactly how god will deliver us at precisely what time will he come to my rescue as people we often want all of the answers however i would like to encourage you and tell you that god is sovereign meaning that he possesses supreme and ultimate power and because he possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question the lord we are not to demand answers or feel as though we are on the same level with god so that he has to explain himself that's not the case our part as believers is to have faith and having faith means we believe that god means what he says and he says what he means if he says all things work together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's to simply trust that god honors his word if the word of god tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivers him out of them all then my part is to hold on by faith to this promise with the eyes of faith you can see the hand of god the goodness of god in every situation regardless of how painful [Music] through faith you begin to consider if you've been placed in this set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose a purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life a purpose such as awakening a hunger for righteousness and holiness like never before or perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you too often because we're focusing on the negative we don't see the positive in a situation and we don't see what god is trying to do could it be that the reason for this difficulty you're facing is god wanting to reveal to you how real he is perhaps this is a test where god simply wants to demonstrate that he is jehovah jireh your provider or perhaps he wants to demonstrate his strength and kindness to you whatever the purpose of this trial you're in i encourage you to do your part your part is to believe it's to hold on in faith and look to jesus now let us pray heavenly father i bow down before you and i acknowledge you to be the great i am you king jesus can still perform miracles on this earth today i pray that the holy spirit would teach us how to change our perspective help us to learn how to walk by faith and not by sight open our spiritual eyes and change the way that we see things remove the scales from our eyes and give us a renewed mind fill us with the holy spirit fill us with boldness and courage lord help us to be believers who stop asking when will things turn around for my good but instead may we be a people who wait faithfully on you lord may we be the type of believers who ask what you want me to learn in this storm and during tough situations help us to remember that although the afflictions of the righteous are many you are a god who delivers us out of them all so instead of speaking about the negative instead of focusing on the negative give us a mind that meditates on the good things that are promised in the bible give us a mind that holds on to your promises promises such as psalm 34 verse 17 which says when the righteous cry for help the lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles we praise you lord jesus because in this fight you are in our corner you are fighting the battle for us i declare your promise in exodus 14 verse 14 which says the lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent [Music] jesus you are all powerful and we can safely declare that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world our hearts do safely trust in you and as we call out the name of jesus christ to intervene we stand on your word in nahum chapter 1 verse 7 which says the lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble he knows those who take refuge in him you are indeed a stronghold in the day of trouble and my prayer today in agreement with everyone listening is that your holy power would change and transform our carnal mindsets would you shift our perspective lord activate and unlock a higher level of faith in us lord jesus we give you all of the glory let this storm become a testimony and a demonstration of your saving grace lord we declare that as sons and daughters of the most high god we are overcomers in you lord jesus we are more than conquerors our physical eyes might not see it yet but i pray that you would activate our spiritual eyes our eyes of faith so that we can see your hand leading us protecting us and shielding us from evil father i know that there is power in the blood of jesus christ there is enough power to remove every barrier and obstacle before us and for that we praise you lord i ask that you continue to work in our lives continue to order our steps into a greater level of maturity as believers may the holy spirit continue to work within us to teach us that before we go anywhere else searching for solutions before we look elsewhere for answers in jesus we have all that we need in jesus we have all the answers that we could ever need in jesus we have the power to move mountains we have a god who performs miracles a god who can make a way where there seems to be no way [Music] the god of the impossible is our lord i bless your precious name i thank you for listening to this prayer in the mighty and matchless name of jesus christ i pray amen [Music] luke chapter 6 verse 45 says the good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks the amplified translation for this verse says the intrinsically good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure stored in his heart and the intrinsically evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil in his heart for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart what we say reveals what's in our hearts the words that we speak reveal the contents of our hearts and so the question is what's coming out of your mouth what have you stored in your heart because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks so if god's word is what's stored in your heart then inevitably your words will reflect that have you ever wondered why people can recite the lyrics to a song that came out years ago but they can't seem to recite more than three bible verses it's

worldly entertainment because that will be reflected when you speak now not only are words a reflection of what's in your heart but words have power the bible says in proverbs chapter 18 verse 21 death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit meaning our tongues can either build or tear down our tongues can either curse or bless they can declare the word

you have come to give life and in you there is fullness of joy [Music] lord jesus may you get all the glory in my life teach me to be more patient teach me lord to be more reliant and trusting in you i believe that when i face difficulties and when i face challenges in life you will be my rescue i believe that when i am in deepwaters you will stay true to your word in isaiah 43 verse 2 which says when you pass through the waters i will be with you and through the rivers they shall not overwhelm you when you walk through fire you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you we choose to forsake the things of this world and to seek you jesus we invite you to come into our hearts and set a blaze a passion and a desire for righteousness more of you lord and less of me let that become the cry in our hearts for the one who is broken for the one who has been abandoned one too many times we invite you king jesus to do the impossible do what no man can do and heal their hearts i praise you lord because all authority belongs to you at the sound of your voice every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that jesus christ is lord at your voice lord the demons will tremble in fear in your presence there is no other power that can stand [Music] and i pray that regardless of the doubts that the enemy may try and plant in my heart let nothing take away my faith in you let nothing steal the promise of eternal life that i have in you father i praise you for your love i thank you for your protection i pray that you would be with me each and every day and each and every moment lord jesus i will continue to trust in you to trust in your word your will is divine and it overrules my own will your plans are just and they are better than anything i could ever imagine [Music] and so i bless your name i relinquish all control and give you the glory honor and praise forevermore in jesus name i pray [Music] amen psalm 141 verse 4 reads do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that i take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers do not let me eat their delicacies the reason i find this passage of scripture to be so powerful is because it's honest the psalmist here is being honest he is saying the kind of thing that most christians would never dream of saying out loud and that is lord don't allow my heart to be drawn to consent or to tolerate sin and the last line of this verse is about as honest as you can get as the psalmist says do not let me eat their delicacies listen sin can be delicious to the flesh you'll never hear anyone say i really didn't enjoy committing that sin i didn't enjoy worshiping the idol of money now that my bank account is healthy or they won't say i didn't enjoy fornicating people will feel guilty yes but more often than not everyone who commits sin enjoys it because well the body is sinful and so it will enjoy pleasure rather than prayer it would rather indulge in selfish gain than serve the body of christ it would rather do as it pleases and be impulsive rather than to be subjected to righteousness this is why paul says in first corinthians 9 verses 25 through 27 every athlete exercises self-control in all things they do it to receive a perishable wreath but we and imperishable so i do not run aimlessly i do not box as one beating the air but i discipline my body and keep it under control lest after preaching to others i myself should be disqualified is telling us that he strictly disciplines his body he crucifies it and so if we know the unspoken truth which is that sin is like a delicacy one may ask why can't i enjoy a little bit of sin and a little bit of god why can't i dip my toes in the water and just have a little bit of pleasure but then come run back to god well saints first and foremost sin will always take more from you than you're willing to give you may think it's just this one occasion but that occasion leads to a frequent occurrence that frequent occurrence then leads to an addiction and that addiction will get you into total bondage and finally when sin is full grown well here's what the bible says concerning that in james 1 verse 15 it reads then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death sin is a killer sin flatters to deceive sin it's a temporary pleasure that has painful consequences once again let me remind you that psalm 141 verse 4 it reads do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that i take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evil doers do not let me eat their delicacies let this be your prayer let this be your cry when the devil offers you a tempting plate of a sinful delicacy run to jesus because in him alone you have liberty you have freedom you have the power to say no you have the power to resist you have the power to withstand absolutely any temptation that you may face let us pray lord jesus you are faithful and you are true you are a righteous god and you are a holy merciful and just god lord when we cry for help when we run to you we do it because on our own we cannot go far on our own we will fail and we will fall but king jesus we trust that you will not let us down we trust that you will empower us with the holy spirit if we call on the name that is above all names then we have a way of escape from every temptation your word says in first corinthians 10 verse 13 no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man god is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it i thank you lord for being compassionate and trustworthy thank you for the promise that you will not let us be tempted beyond our ability to resist thank you that you will always provide a way out of a temptation so that we will be able to endure it without yielding and by your grace lord we will overcome temptation i declare that there is no temptation placed before me that i cannot overcome through the blood of jesus christ it's in you lord that i have the strength to overcome it's in you king jesus that i can resist that devil and watch him flee from me it's in you my master that i can live and walk in purity strengthen me father i pray that i would grow in my love for you in my hunger for you lord help me to always choose righteousness instead of sin help me to respond to the call of holiness and to resist the pull of sin first corinthians 6 13 says food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food and god will destroy both one and the other the body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the lord and the lord for the body my body is indeed meant for you i am created to serve you and to worship you lord and i submit to you i say to you that i'm willing lord i have a desire to serve you wholeheartedly i have a desire to worship you with every fiber of being that is within me father i pray that you would not let my heart be drawn to what is evil let my heart not be drawn to what is sinful or wicked but lord let it be drawn to your word and to your presence transform my heart so that i would not take part in any wicked deeds let me not be associated with evil doers but instead i pray that you would lead me into the company of godly people people who will encourage me to pursue righteousness lord jesus may your name be praised may your name be lifted high god i thank you for hearing this prayer and i pray it in the name of jesus amen and amen [Music] does god still perform miracles does god still heal he certainly does i believe that the lord still heals the blind and causes them to see i believe that jesus can still speak to sickness in a person's body and command it to leave saints i truly believe the lord still heals today in the same way and according to the same standards if you will that he did when he walked on this earth thousands of years ago the bible says in hebrews 13 verse 8 jesus christ is the same yesterday today and forever and this i believe is an important scripture for every believer to remember because it means that jesus was a healer he is a healer and he will forever be a healer our lord does not change the same jesus who cast out evil spirits can still cast them out today the same jesus who freed those who were oppressed by demons can still free anyone oppressed today [Music] and the same jesus who healed all that were sick can still heal all today matthew 14 verse 35 to 36 says and when the men of that place recognized him they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment and as many as touched it were made well you and i can still touch the fringe of his garment through faith and beheal we can still be made perfectly well because the word of god also says if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes matthew 15 30 says and great crowds came to him bringing with them the lame the blind the the mute and many others and they put them at his feet and he healed them the same jesus who healed great crowds he still heals today he still has power today the same jesus who healed blind bartimaeus and the woman with the issue of blood is still healing today so i encourage you to bow down and surrender to the one and only son of god lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now and so let us pray dear heavenly father we come before you today seeking for a touch from your almighty hand we welcome you to do as you will father and have your way in our lives you are the king of kings and the lord of lords there is none like you there is no other healer besides you there is no better doctor than you king jesus there is no better physician than you lord your word says in isaiah 53 verse 5 but he was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace and with his wounds we are healed so today we declare that by your stripes we are healed not because we say so but because your word says so and because it is written in your word we have faith that it can happen we have the faith and belief that if it is in your will then healing will take place in our bodies in our hearts and minds you know what is best for us father and you will never give us something that we cannot handle or overcome with your strength and lord you are in control your will has the final say over all matters and so if it is your will that we may experience healing today then we praise you and we give you thanks and honor and if it is your will that we might not be healed yet then we submit lord and accept that you will give us the grace to not only endure but to wait on you faithfully lord so long as you are with us as long as you are leading us as our shepherd and god then we know that even though we may walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will have no fear there is no evil that we will fear because your rod and staff will comfort us father we ask for your grace even as we pray and ask for healing we pray that we would not be discouraged or afraid even if our healing doesn't come within our own timing we will choose to trust your timing above mind we choose to have faith in your divine plan because our lives are in your loving hands lord jesus you deserve all of the praise my future and my health are all in your hands and regardless of what earthly doctors may say i will remain confident that i am always safe and taken care of by you lord as your children we are blessed to be under the care of the greatest healer and chief physician and so lord jesus we are not going to chase healing but instead we will chase you lord we will not chase miracles but instead we will chase the one who performs miracles which is you and because you paid the ultimate price on the cross i know that i can always count on you king jesus being there in my life even in times when it doesn't seem like you are there and because your word says you are the same yesterday today and forever i can always depend on your character to never change i can always depend on your love to see me through and strengthen me i depend on you in all things at all times and in all ways though the world changes circumstances change people change and even myself as a person i can change however you lord jesus never change you're an unchanging god you were a healer many years ago and you are a healer today you were a miracle worker many years ago and you are a miracle worker today be glorified lord jesus you are great and awesome i pray that you would help me step out in faith and trust you always i can't always change my circumstances but i will decide to trust in you fully lord jesus help me to fight and change my attitude and outlook on life so that i will always walk by faith and not by sight james chapter 1 verse 2 to 4 says count it all joy my brothers when unique trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its full effect that you might be perfect and complete lacking in nothing as i pray that you would strengthen my faith i understand that the testing of my faith produces endurance help me king jesus to have a faith that is strong and resilient help me lord to have the faith that believes you will outlast my problem we believe that we can always count on you my lord thank you for hearing this prayer we receive healing in your presence we receive restoration in your presence we believe that we can and will be made whole again in your presence i bless your holy name in jesus name i pray [Music] amen the bible in romans chapter 8 verse 28 says and we know that for those who love god all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose now i am sure that each of us as we've gone through certain things in life as we faced difficulties and challenges i am sure that at one point or another every one of us has tried to figure out how this situation we're in will work out for our good [Music] and the thing is as humans we want to know all of the details we want to know how god will make a way we want to know exactly how god will make a way where there seems to be no way we tend to be so focused on details now the bible in psalm chapter 34 verse 19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivers him out of them all and we can read this verse we can recite this verse but once we are in the middle of an affliction we want to know exactly how god will deliver us at precisely what time will he come to my rescue as people we often want all of the answers however i would like to encourage you and tell you that god is sovereign meaning that he possesses supreme and ultimate power and because he possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question the lord we are not to demand answers or feel as though we are on the same level with god so that he has to explain himself that's not the case our part as believers is to have faith and having faith means we believe that god means what he says and he says what he means if he says all things work together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's to simply trust that god honors his word if the word of god tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivers him out of them all then my part is to hold on by faith to this promise with the eyes of faith you can see the hand of god the goodness of god in every situation regardless of how painful [Music] through faith you begin to consider if you've been placed in this set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose a purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life a purpose such as awakening a hunger for righteousness and holiness like never before or perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you too often because we're focusing on the negative we don't see the positive in a situation and we don't see what god is trying to do could it be that the reason for this difficulty you're facing is god wanting to reveal to you how real he is perhaps this is a test where god simply wants to demonstrate that he is jehovah jireh your provider or perhaps he wants to demonstrate his strength and kindness to you whatever the purpose of this trial you're in i encourage you to do your part your part is to believe it's to hold on in faith and look to jesus now let us pray heavenly father i bow down before you and i acknowledge you to be the great i am you king jesus can still perform miracles on this earth today i pray that the holy spirit would teach us how to change our perspective help us to learn how to walk by faith and not by sight open our spiritual eyes and change the way that we see things remove the scales from our eyes and give us a renewed mind fill us with the holy spirit fill us with boldness and courage lord help us to be believers who stop asking when will things turn around for my good but instead may we be a people who wait faithfully on you lord may we be the type of believers who ask what you want me to learn in this storm and during tough situations help us to remember that although the afflictions of the righteous are many you are a god who delivers us out of them all so instead of speaking about the negative instead of focusing on the negative give us a mind that meditates on the good things that are promised in the bible give us a mind that holds on to your promises promises such as psalm 34 verse 17 which says when the righteous cry for help the lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles we praise you lord jesus because in this fight you are in our corner you are fighting the battle for us i declare your promise in exodus 14 verse 14 which says the lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent lord jesus you are all powerful and we can safely declare that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world our hearts do safely trust in you and as we call out the name of jesus christ to intervene we stand on your word in nahum chapter 1 verse 7 which says the lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble he knows those who take refuge in him you are indeed a stronghold in the day of trouble and my prayer today in agreement with everyone listening is that your holy power would change and transform our carnal mindsets would you shift our perspective lord activate and unlock a higher level of faith in us lord jesus we give you all of the glory let this storm become a testimony and a demonstration of your saving grace lord we declare that as sons and daughters of the most high god we are overcomers in you lord jesus we are more than conquerors our physical eyes might not see it yet but i pray that you would activate our spiritual eyes our eyes of faith so that we can see your hand leading us protecting us and shielding us from evil father i know that there is power in the blood of jesus christ there is enough power to remove every barrier and obstacle before us and for that we praise you lord i ask that you continue to work in our lives continue to order our steps into a greater level of maturity as believers may the holy spirit continue to work within us to teach us that before we go anywhere else searching for solutions before we look elsewhere for answers in jesus we have all that we need in jesus we have all the answers that we could ever need in jesus we have the power to move mountains we have a god who performs miracles a god who can make a way where there seems to be no way the god of the impossible is our lord i bless your precious name i thank you for listening to this prayer in the mighty and matchless name of jesus christ i pray amen [Music] [Music] [Music] you
