Prayer 

November 12, 2017

Father God, in Jesus Name, as we finish with this series on the Heart, we ask, first that You would forgive any and all wrong intentions of our hearts and that our hearts become ONE with You! So, as we step into the third series of the heart. We are being told to “Monitor our hearts”, and there are so many things that can enter into our hearts, but by Your Holy Spirit we can monitor it and as we learn, give us insight even the more on our hearts, as we know, the “SOUL” is in our heart!!

Father God, the very first thing we are taught is about a backsliding heart and we must ask forgiveness for even having the thoughts of giving in to temptations because of our weaknesses, so make us Strong in You Lord, so that when we become weak because of temptations, we can walk in Your strength and not ours, because we all have sins that so easily beset us, but You as a man stood strong against sins of all kind, so fill us with MORE of the Holy Ghost, so that we may stand as You did, strong!!! Glory to God!! Praise Your Great and Powerful Name!!!!

Father God, many of us have been seriously wounded and hurt by others, whether it is from our spouses, our natural family or our spiritual family, we have been wounded!! Words have been said to us that “in our sins”, we wouldn’t have taken it, so we know that You have changed us, but the wounds are still here, the words are still registered in my heart, but I don’t want to walk in bitterness, resentment or with a chip on my shoulder, so Father, give me the Power that You walked in when, even Your people came against You and spoke evil words, even throwing stones at You, but You either disappeared or just took what was done, by a people that You loved, make us to be MORE like You, Lord!!

Father God, cause us to watch over our words and that our words be few, either yea or nay, but give us the strength to be good watchmen and watchwomen over our souls and cause us to know how WORDS, will either build up or tear down and as we come to know the heart even more, move out any and all dishonesty, all unscrupulous ways, all unprincipled ways, any untrustworthiness in us, all corrupt ways, any venal ways, all criminal ways, any illegal ways, all unlawful ways, any nefarious ways, any fraudulent ways, any shady ways, any dodgy ways and all hinky ways, we don’t want to shame the Kingdom of God and displease You by being crooked! Alleluia! Alleluia!!!

Now, Father God, remove from us anything that is NOT like You! Father, we have read how the 1/3 of the Angels had a heart examination and they were found to be divided against You because of ONE who wanted to make his throne above Yours and because of his covetous ways, he caused disagreement in Heaven and the Angels that YOU created became disunited with You, because of the covetousness of the arch-angel, whom YOU created and he began to drive them apart from You and caused a break up in Heaven and a split up, to the point that 1/3 of the Angels are now lost because he set them at variance against You, their God and Creator, so Father, we know that he yet lives, but without power against Your Name in Your people unless we allow ourselves to NOT monitor our hearts and the people that we communicate with, cause Your DISCERNMENT to overtake us when we are in the presence of others, keep us in CONTROL of our thoughts towards You and our Pastor and the Church Family!! Praise Your Holy Name!!

Father God, remove far from me any foolish ways and any and all stupid and silly ways, remove any idiotic ways, any unintelligent ways and any thoughtless ways, remove from me any imprudent ways, remove from me any incautious and unwise ways. Father God, always put it in my heart to seek advice, so that I not be ill-advised, making rash and reckless choices, that will bring shame to the Kingdom of God and to the Fellowship Service where You have placed me, in Jesus Name!! Amen and Amen, Forever and ever!!! Alleluia! Alleluia!!!
