What Are You Asking In Prayer For Today?

God will do it for you and you have to believe it and begin seeing it in the spirit realm now. It is already in the plane of existence, it is already done and God is getting ready to help you see all that He has prepared for those who love Him and are called to his purpose!  All things work together for the good. If you are asking God for something that is good, give Him a praise! God is good! Ask and it is given! Seek and you shall find! Knock and the door shall be opened for you!

Your gift will be found in your praise. You think if you cry, mourn, and be sad about it all day that God will hear your cry but I dare you to shout the name of the Lord and declare His goodness and mercy. I dare you to begin declaring all the blessings that God has bestowed to you already. See God has already given to us many of the things we have asked of Him already. May God bring these things back to our remembrance so that we may shout for joy and give God the praise that if He was able to get me through that situation, if He was able to heal me from this, if He was able to somehow send the money I needed for that, if He was able to deliver my sister, my brother, if he was able to deliver someone like me, I know God you can also do this thing and I am believing that God is just getting started with me. that I will be His living testimony. I hear the good news coming this way! The prayers you have been asking for, declare them answered! God is making a way where there seemed to be no way. God is moving mountains, God is moving barriers, God is moving in this place! God's promises are being fulfilled at this very moment!

God promised that He will never leave me nor forsake me! Even though it may look like a desolate place I know the promises God said for my life. He said I will not lack, He said He will lead me by still waters to green pastures, He will restore my soul, He will lead me in the paths of righteousness for His names sake! I will have no fear for He is with me! He always comforts me! God is preparing a table for me and I believe it! God is anointing my head with oil. Annoint me with the oil of gladness oh Lord! Thank you God! My cup runneth over. Thank you God! Goodness and mercy follows me. Thank you God! I Live in the house, the temple, the tent of the Lord almighty! The Lord is my fortress! The Lord is my rock and my salvation!  Thank you God!

I cannot wait for tomorrow to begin praising God I have to Praise God right now! All throughout the Bible everyone was waiting for God to do a miracle. yet, as soon as someone began calling on the name of the Lord a miracle happened. it would read "Now, it happened" I am believing a right now miracle is occurring in your life. I believe this thing you have been praying for is beginning to happen right now. Sometimes we cannot see all the mountains God is moving in the background in order that this miracle appear right before our eyes. I am believing this miracle is already in the works and even if I cannot see it with fleshly eyes, I can see it spiritually and I know it is happening and it is already here. I know this is my portion. I know my prayers are being answered. I know God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all I can ask or think according to the power that worketh in Him. There is wonderworking power at work right now! I know I serve an awesome God. My God can do all things! I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me. With God I can do it! If it is in God's will for my life then this is destiny moving on my behalf! May.my life align with the will of God, with the promises of God, with the grace of God, with the love of God, and with the essence of God's holy presence.

Thank you God for everything you have already done for me. thank you God for the infinite miracles you have already brightened my life with. Thank you God for the miracles you have paved a way for that I didn't even have to ask for. Thank you God for your infinite mercy and goodness.

Thank you God for guiding me on the paths of righteousness, for being a lamp to my feet, for giving me instruction, for going ahead of me, for sending your angels on my behalf, for loving a person like me unconditionally. Thank you Father God! 

May the doors of heaven be opened for this thing I am asking you for oh Lord. May your glory rain today Lord. I am believing that "Now it happened" is my portion that Godspeed is making its entrance in this situation. May your essence, your power, your glory, your goodness radiate in every portion of my life God. If there is any unclean thing in me Lord, I ask you to remove it in order that your essence and your glory, and your power, and your goodness may radiate in every corner in my life, in every facet of my life, in every area of my life I need your presence God.

The Importance of The Foods We Eat

 The food we choose to consume on a daily basis is important to our health, wellbeing, and way of living. What we choose to consume can affect our physical health, how we feel, and even the planet. The serpent first came into the garden to deceive Adam and Eve by persuading them to eat a forbidden fruit. This is important to understand that there were some foods that were made to be eaten and there were some foods that were never meant to be eaten. The fruit which the serpent tempted Eve and Adam to eat was food able to make one wise and have the knowledge of both good and evil being like God. Similarly some foods have the ability to bring youth and vitality while other foods have the ability to clog the mind & blood circulation. 

Eve ate the fruit because of the desire to have the power to be like God. She saw the fruit was good to eat. She used all her senses to determine that the fruit was good to eat. Choice foods resemble God's essence. Since the beginning God ordered that man eat the fruit of the trees that yields seed. God also added every herb that yields seed, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil they were not to eat.

Food is great. I love food yet I love God far more. Knowing the word of God precisely is important in our relationship and daily walk with God. The serpent was able to trick Eve into eating the forbidden fruit because Eve did not know the word of God precisely. Therefore, know the word of God precisely for your selves so that food cannot compromise our relationship with God. Know the absolute truth and do not depart from it. Trust the word of God having an intimate personal relationship with God.

One of the deadly sins is gluttony. Too much of the wrong foods can compromise ones health. Gluttonous habits can cause a person to overeat, consume the wrong foods, and be greedy in their eating. Be vigilant, be strong, and do not bow down to the temptation of food not even for a morsel of bread. One of the temptations Satan gave Jesus while he was on the mountain, was tempting Jesus to turn a rock into bread knowing that Jesus was on a 40 day fast. This is interesting, for bread if consumed in high quantities and not afterwards burned off with proper diet and exercise can turn into, similarly, rock, clogging circulation and becoming like plaque in arteries. Amazingly, Jesus trusted God and departed from temptation. His discipline in fasting and trust in God's word had a purpose.

Being tempted to eat and kill animals for food was not God's original food consumption plan. Fruit was meant to be the meat and food. Killing animals for food consumption affects animals, animal populations, and the cycle of life on the planet. Animal birth rates cannot compete with human hunger. 

Many plagues came upon those who were not God's people in the Bible. This was called pestilence which is similar to an epidemic disease. A simple lifestyle can prove if you are God's people and this goes back to what God said since the beginning on how we ought to live our lives. The mandate and commandments have already been given. May we form unique personal relationship with God that we may clearly hear God speaking to us.

What we speak and what comes out of our mouths is as equally important as what goes into our mouths. May we both speak good things and eat good things for we eat our words just as much as the foods we eat become our living cells of our body. Therefore, be wise and seek God in honor, truth, and wisdom.

The blood covenant is very important in that every sin can be forgiven by the baptizing of water, prayer, and fasting. The blood covenant is like a seal proving the truth of God in our lives. The blood of Jesus determines how we live our lives. May we be cleansed by the blood and forgiven of every sin committed. May we be baptized with the purging of water in all supplication and in spirit. May we eat consciously and do every good thing God has called us to do. May we live in spirit and in truth and not by the flesh, Edifying ourselves daily in the word of God.

Godly Love For The Church

Being married to a man or to a woman, having a life partner, for many is a big deal and a goal. Many people want a significant partner not realizing they had one all along. In the Bible, God is describing that the church is His wife. This is very significant for it is saying that before anyone loved me and you, God decided to love us, Before we were perfect enough, God decided He wanted to be in partnership with us. Before anyone could see our potential, God already saw Christ in us. This means my marriage with God, my relationship with God is more important than any other relationship I could have. God decided He wanted to do life with me since the beginning. Marriage is like a covenant, so it's understanding that all the promises God has made will always stand as long as I am in relationship with God. Its also knowing that when I chose to be in relationship with God, I chose to love the same way God loves me. This is an unconditional love. Throughout the Bible, the church is referenced as the wife of God. The church is often a place of refuge for people who need healing, restoring faith, praising/worshipping God. The church, is made whole in Christ. God is the bridegroom and God compares the church to being like a wife. Below is what the Bible says about God's love for the Church, the manner in which the church should love God, and the destined lifestyle given to those who are called to the body of Christ. God is the head of every relationship and as a Godly wife, may we be ready!

1. God's Love For the Church
Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body Ephesians 5:23

Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Revelations 19:7


2. Manner In Which The Church Should Love God

The church submits to Christ

We are born again as babes in Christ

Angels are our help in ministry

The church is Christ body; the church is the body of Christ

God equips the saints for the work of the ministry for building the body of Christ

You will be equipped with everything good to complete His will

Make peace by the blood of the cross

Under the law almost everything is purified by blood

Shepard the flock of God that is among you

Exercise, oversee willingly, eagerly be examples to the flock

Be able to resist temptation

Present the church to himself with splendor, holy without blemish


3. Destined Lifestyle For Those Called To The Body Of Christ

First give yourselves to the Lord

Drink and eat in a worthy manner

Love your own flesh, nourish it, cherish it

Love your wife like you love your own body

Love your neighbor as you love yourselves

Walk in a manner worthy of the calling

Be gentle like a nursing mother


Verses:

For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5:23-33


I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16
