The Prayerful Word - September 13

  • 1 Corinthians 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

    Luke 21:1-2 As Jesus looked up, he saw… a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.

    Luke 9:13 He replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish — unless we go and buy food for all this crowd."

    Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

    Revelation 3:8 I know your [record of] works {and} what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word {and} guarded My message and have not renounced {or} denied My name.

    Ephesians 4:1-3 I…entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, 3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

    May you trust the Lord, your Strength and your Song, and not be afraid, as you draw water from the wells of salvation with joy, for His anger has turned away and He has comforted you. Isaiah 12

    May you give thanks to the Lord and call on His name as you make known among the nations what He has done, proclaiming that His name is exalted. Isaiah 12

    May you sing for joy to the Lord, for He has done glorious things that the world needs to be told about, so shout aloud since the Holy One of Israel is great within you. Isaiah 12

    May you not join yourself to Babylon, being proud, arrogant and haughty in the day of your peace, but humble yourself before the Lord. Isaiah 13

    May you understand that in yourself there is no good thing, yet the Lord will accept you, as you come in repentance, and make you one of His mighty ones, as you rejoice in His triumph. Isaiah 13

    May you stand strong in the truth that what the Lord Almighty has planned, will be, and what He has purposed, will stand, for the Lord Almighty has sworn, and who can thwart Him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? Isaiah 14

    May you be assured of the fact that Lord knows your heart, and gives care to all who seek Him, so that even the poorest of the poor will have provision and the needy will lie down in safety, as they desire to do the will of the Lord. Isaiah 14

    My child, let My Word, applied to your life through the wisdom and guidance of My Spirit, prepare you as a vessel. Accept the healing of My love and the balm of My mercy as, by grace, I gather the broken pieces together and bring wholeness to your life.
    I am prepared for this, and I am well able to accomplish it, My dear one, but I require a willing heart, ready hands, and obedient feet. Will you allow Me to fitly form you as I desire, shaping you to My vision? Will you trust Me as capable of completing the task I start, even though you do not see all that I have planned?
    Those who dwell in the world, rather than merely passing through as a pilgrim, live by a different standard, My precious one, and I desire a vessel that can bear My witness, My living water, to those who thirst for what cannot be found in the dry places they inhabit. Deep calls out to deep, My trusting one, and what I shape you into will touch the heart, though it will puzzle the mind, of the observer.
    Those who are captive in the darkness of My adversary's camp know the brokenness of their own lives, though they are trained to hide it, and thus never see that everyone else is like them. I place you in their midst, My prized one, as one turned inside out, showing the pieces, revealing the brokenness, and presenting the gold and the silver in which the pieces are embedded.
    They are taught to shame anyone who reveals the condition of their heart, for the enemy does not want the comfort of a shared experience to replace the torment of isolation in his captives. But through your willing witness, I will bring the light of Life and Truth into their cells of individual misery and solitary despair.
    So do not receive their false judgment of shame against you, My love, but walk in the confident assurance of My acceptance and blessing. Remember that I, too, walked that same path in obedience to My Father, and I am with you even now to strengthen and support you.

    May you truly learn of Christ's forbearance and patience, long-sufferance and grace in the meekness of His seeking and drawing, lest you think Him weak or unconcerned until you face His anger and judgment, His cleansing and holiness, in the power of the risen and righteous King. 2 Corinthians 13

    May you be kept from sin and not do evil, but grow in His grace, as you are strengthened by His Word and empowered by His Spirit, for though you may suffer evil, yet may you increase in holiness. 2 Corinthians 13

    May you aim for perfection, hear the appeal of the Spirit, be of one mind with the Father, and live in peace as the God of love dwells with you in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13

    May you take refuge in the shadow of the wings of God, so that the Lord may have mercy on your soul until the disaster has passed. Psalm 57

    May you cry out to God Most High, Who fulfills His purpose for you, that He will send from heaven and save you, rebuking those who hotly pursue you, and sending you His love and His faithfulness. Psalm 57

    May you sing and make music to God from a steadfast heart, awakening the dawn as you exalt the Lord above the heavens, that His glory will be known over all the earth. Psalm 57

    May you praise the Lord among the nations and sing of Him among the peoples, for His love is great, even reaching to the heavens as His faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57
