Father God, help me to “CONFESS AND PRAY” right for me and the Church!

(Ezra 9:5-10)

Father God, in Jesus Name, we come this day to bless Your Holy Name and to give You praise for just how good You are to us and for making ways out of no way for us! We praise You for salvation and for forgiveness of our sins; and we praise You for giving us a Name that is above every Name that is named. When we call on THAT Name, demons tremble and the wicked are removed out of our way, all because of the Name of Jesus. Thank-You for the Holy and Anointed Name of Jesus that we can use, because we too own that Name, Jesus!! Alleluia and Glory to God!!

Father God, we have learned so much about You and Your Ways, in so much, that as we continue to read about You, we learn even more, and we are always adding to our knowledge and for that we thank-You and PRAISE Your Holy Name!! We ask that You continue to add to our knowledge as we read about Your Ways and cause us to see and to hear what the Spirit is saying to us and there are times that we must do what Ezra did in Ezra 9: 5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the Lord my God, because there are times that we feel the heaviness in order to truly bow our knees and spread out our hands to our Lord and Savior because of the sins that are going on in the House of God!! Sanctify us this day!!

Ezra 9:6 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. Father, many will not confess their sins and iniquities, but Ezra had to do it for them and Father, today we come to You admitting and acknowledging and even revealing our sins that have been done in this place, looking unto the Rock of our Salvation for forgiveness even after we have been born again. We own up to committing and breaking every Commandment that is written and ask for more of Your Mercy and Forgiveness!! Bless Your Holy Name!! Alleluia!!!

Father God, we plead guilty to the celebration of days even after we have been taught the truth about them and what Your Word says to us about them, so forgive us and take them out of our hearts. Give us the love for us that You have for us and remove the desire to do them out of our hearts and that we please ONLY You, in Jesus Name!!

Ezra 9:7 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. Forgive us O’ Lord, this DAY!

Ezra 9:8 And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. Praise Your Holy Name!! Amen! In Jesus Name!

Father God, we learned the ways of the heathens through our fathers and our mothers, through the preachers that we were under before holiness and even the government; but, WE now have a New and Living Way, because You gave us a little space where Grace was shown to us. And, being part of the remnant, You gave us a NAIL in Your Holy Place, we are now attached and fastened to You by Your Grace. So Father God, wash us clean and send us a revival that will make us better and improve us and strengthen us for Your Great Name Sake!!!

Ezra 9:9 For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. Amen and In Jesus Name and in the sight of our enemies, REVIVE us, the Pentecostal Apostolics, REPAIR the brokenness among the Pentecostal Apostolics, REPAIR the barrenness, REMOVE the spirit of desolation in the House of God and Father God, give us a WALL on this Earth showing a total separation from the world! Bless Your Name!!

Ezra 9:10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, THIS day we confess and repent of our wrongs and of our sins and of our iniquities, forgive us this day and send us a REVIVAL, we need a revival, Lord!! Revive our minds, revive our hearts, revive us today!!

We ask all of this and more, in the Name of Jesus, Amen and Amen!!!
