The Prayerful Word - April 7

  • 1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

    Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom

    Mark 1:35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

    Nehemiah 2:4 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.

    2 Corinthians 10:5 …we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ

    1 Samuel 15:22 …Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.

    May you be confident that the Lord your God Himself has gone ahead of you to destroy these principalities and powers before you so that you will be victorious in your battles and can take possession of the land of your soul. Deuteronomy 31

    May you be strong and courageous and not afraid or terrified for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31

    May you repay the Lord, Who is your Father, your Creator Who has made you and formed you, by acting justly and behaving wisely as His children should, and not as the warped and crooked generation of the world. Deuteronomy 32

    My child, walk in faithfulness before Me. See My faithfulness to you, and show that same faithfulness to the world.
    I am ever faithful to My Word, keeping My promises, regardless of what it costs Me. You can walk in the hope of confidence when you stand on the Word that I give you. You can labor in the certainty that I hear you when you come before Me in prayer.
    This is the discipline that I call you to be faithful in. Do not go forth in works, My child, before you have sought Me in prayer. You may as well look for water to flow from a disconnected pipe as to expect Me to bless what you do, or confirm what you say, if you have not known Me first in the respectful humility and faithful obedience of prayer.
    Ask of Me, My obedient one, and I will give you a spirit of prayer, for I am faithful to My Word. I desire you to pray without ceasing, and to come before Me with singing, walking in My presence always. As you do this, you will also do the works of Him Who has sent you, and Who anoints you for service in the kingdom.
    Be faithful in prayer, My love, for there, you will be united with Me.

    May you acknowledge the Son of Man before others, in word and deed, speech and action, love and grace, for then He will acknowledge you before the angels of God. Luke 12

    May you not worry about what to say when you stand before others to declare the kingdom of God, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say. Luke 12

    May you guard your heart against all forms of greed, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions. Give as generously as God has given to you, of mercy, of patience, of tenderness, of forgiveness, of long-suffering, of kindness, of grace, of love. Provide purses for yourself that will not wear out, and a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12

    May you seek God's kingdom, for then He will give these other things, of food and drink, clothing and shelter, all the necessities of life in this world and this body, for your Father holds you to be more valuable than the rest of His creation, and is pleased to give you the kingdom. Luke 12

    May the Lord be merciful and restrain His anger, remembering that you are flesh, a passing breeze that does not return. Psalm 78

    May you treasure in your heart the wisdom and knowledge God shares with you, waiting for His direction, for a word fitly spoken is as apples of gold in a setting of silver, since only a fool blurts out the folly in his heart. Proverbs 12:23
