Prayers: The Love of God Almighty NEVER Ceases To Be!

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, LORD God Almighty.  I humble myself to you today acknowledging that you ARE God.  Thank you, Father, for the many blessings, teachings, trials, and tribulations that have come my way.  Thank you, LORD, for delivering me from the hands of my enemies.  I praise your Holy Name, my Lord, for loving me as you do.  I am not worthy of all that you do for me.  Please continue to search my heart, my Lord, and know that there is nothing or anyone more important in this world to me than you.  Without you, Lord Jesus, I cannot stand.  I would not survive one day in this miserable place called Earth without you.  My eyes are opened to see the devastations and the evil lurking at every corner.  Help us, LORD.  Do not forget your people, LORD!  Remember to help us because we are not capable of helping ourselves.

Each day, as I consider the magnitude and depth of your love for all men, I am left speechless.  You maintain an outstretched arm even when we sin against you, God.  You keep trying to reach us to teach us how to live for you…how to truly love you.  Yet we reject you for instant pleasures and wisdom gained from this world instead.  Help me, LORD God, to receive your love more and more each day.  Help me, LORD, to know that your love is everlasting and that nothing can stop me from loving you, if this is my desire. Help me to know and understand that through the love relationship that we have developed, there is no fear that you will ever stop loving me.  Amen.  Nothing can ever separate me from your love!  Yet, Sweet Jesus, I understand that you will not tolerate my evil heart. Clearly this is why you have commanded that we love you with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all of our strength.  When we love you as you desire, there is no room for evil to take control.  So thank you, Father God.  I give you permission to continue to “Dissect My Soul,” dear Lord.

I pray now, Lord, for the members of Dissect My Soul.  I pray for all those that have joined the “Love Jesus” Movement.  Keep them safe, Lord God.  Help them to always remember that the only way to overcome the evil in this world is to maintain an intimate love relationship with you.  Dear Lord, the world is changing around us, second by second.  You have taught me not to be shocked or alarmed at the evil that is increasing in the world today.  Help my followers and disciples to be unafraid.  Help them, Lord, to be bold and truthful in their daily walk with you.  Protect them, Father God, as they go.  As they seek your face, minute by minute, bring them into your presence that they might know and understand the degree of your love for them.  Please do this for me, Lord Jesus! Grant them peace and shelter within your Presence.  Thank you, LORD Jesus, for your love.  Amen.

God Hear Our Prayer:

May all evil spirits be bound in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as this Prayer is read.

Dear Heavenly Father, how great is your name; how amazing is your Wisdom; how Powerful is your Love!  Every day you “stir up”my mind, my heart, and my soul and reveal even yet a deeper part of your Wisdom.  Thank you, LORD!  The depth of the name “Dissect My Soul” is overwhelming to my tiny little spirit.  I received the name and I ran with it, LORD, just as you asked.  I knew that it removed all the impurities and prepared my heart to be one with you, LORD God.  But, O My Savior, my Friend, it is so much more!  I now see, LORD, that until the heart of man is “dissected, changed, or altered” from its original state, that your love cannot penetrate.  You want to possess our souls completely. You, Lord Jesus, want to be one with us as God is one with you!  You, O Lord, want to guide and direct us as God, the Father, guided and directed you while you were on earth.  The same love you received as you fulfilled the mission of God is the love you are prepared to pass on to all that will receive you.  To receive your love, Lord, is to obey you and submit unto you.  Amen.

Help me, Sweet Jesus, to surrender all of me to you each day.  Help me to move forward every second of my day submitting my will unto you so that your perfect will can be done in my life.  Help me, Lord, to obey you because I am in Love with you and not because it is the “Christian” thing to do.  Help me, O God, to look beyond me and always see you.  Let my meditations, motivation, and my heart’s desire be surrendered unto you forever and always. Please, LORD God, Dissect My Soul!  I know, LORD, that I cannot do these things for myself.  I cannot save me, O LORD.  I cannot perfect my ways and submit my mind in any way.  It is you, O God, that MUST perfect me.  I am incomplete without you, and I am “perfect” with you.  How grievous is the sound to my ear that says we cannot achieve perfection in this life.  God forbid and have mercy on us all, Lord God!  Would you allow the Holy Scriptures to declare that I can be perfect, LORD, and they not be available to me?  Is this a mind game, Lord Jesus?  O how I trust your every word.  Amen.  How true are your promises, LORD God!  When you dissected my soul, you taught me how to trust you and to lean absolutely on you and you alone.  You created a holy union between my sprit and your Holy Spirit.  You then filled me with the Holy Ghost.  It is the Holy Ghost that has your everlasting love.  This love then flows from the Holy Ghost into me!  It is this Holy Ghost power that regenerates my spirit.  It is the Holy Ghost “Love” that gives me new life and the ability to declare that I am born again!  I am not clean enough or pure enough, and never will be, to approach you alone.  I must be filled with Your Holy Ghost.  O God, how marvelous are your teachings and your wonders.  It is through the Holy Ghost that I become filled with your love!  These things are all products of obedience to your will.  They result from me giving you total and complete access to my heart and my very existence.  O LORD, I have had the key all along and have not used it to the capacity for which it was intended.  Forgive me, Lord Jesus.  I accept you as my Lord and Savior and as my very best friend.  I will go forward in your wonderful name declaring to all that will listen that you are calling, begging us to allow you to dissect our souls.  Amen!

Father God, do I back down?  Do I erase these words that highlight my personal walk with you, LORD?  Should I be fearful of those who will say that I am claiming to be better or greater than others?  That, dear God, is not what I am saying.  Do I abandon what you teach me and reveal to me in order for others to feel better about themselves?  My prayer is to you, O God!  It is you that I fear and obey.  It is you that I love with all of my heart.  O LORD God, Dissect My Soul!  Help me, LORD, to carry out your mission and fear not the forward looks of the enemy.  I stand in the strength and the power of the Holy Ghost.

I pray, Lord, for all those that might read this prayer.  I pray, Lord, that they will understand and receive.  I ask, Lord Jesus, that you penetrate their understanding and pierce even the lining of the covering that leads to the soul itself.  There, there, O God, I pray that you will perform your spiritual surgery to make them…and make me more complete in you. Take us all beyond where we are and help us to know that you and you alone are God.  Bind Satan and all the followers of evil so that your people might be free.  Let all who read this, Father, be set free to worship you in spirit and in truth!  May the Holy Spirit of God be forever praised and worshipped. Amen, Amen and AMEN!

Words of Wisdom: The Love of God Almighty

/in /by

Words of Encouragement:

God is LOVE.  God knows all things.  God is the creator of the universe.  All nature and animals were created by God.  The heavenlies, the sun, the moon, and even the stars were created by God Almighty!  The birds in the air and the beasts that walk this earth had a beginning and were created by God.  The fish in the sea were created by My God Almighty. If God created ALL things, and is a pure and Holy God, where did evil come from?

It stands to reason that “something or someone” that God created released evil upon the earth…and it was not God as He was not created and always has been.  The bible tells us that Lucifer/Satan/Devil, or any other name you want to use, brought disobedience, also called sin, into the world.  God created mankind to love and obey him.  Jesus Christ in His love for us has given us a way to return to the love of God and claim our rightful place in the Kingdom of God.  He has shown the world that all we have to do is LOVE HIM and HIM Alone.  He tells us that He will not only be our Father and God, but that he will be our FRIEND!  He only requires us to abandon ourselves to His will and “Abide” in Him.  We do not need to have any prior training or knowledge.  We just need to gather all that we think we know and come humbly to Him asking that He “Dissect” our souls!  This act of absolute surrender will usher in LOVE.  This will bring WISDOM who has the very heart of God. God will move heaven and earth for the promotion, protection, and safety of the Holy Ghost, which is WISDOM.  Let all who have an ear to hear, hear what thus saith the LORD God Almighty. Surrender today so that you may “Receive ye the Holy Ghost!”  Tomorrow is not promised.  Amen.

Scriptures for Consecration: (Emphasis added where bold letters appear)

  • 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  (1 Peter 5:10-11)
  • 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. (1 John 2:3-6)
  • 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.  (John 14:23-26)
  • 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:1-14)
  • 1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. (John 17:1-10)

Prayers: Shadow of Death

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, My God, My LORD, My Savior, and My Friend, thank you for this day.  Thank you for the opportunity once again to be able to Worship you in Truth and in Spirit.  LORD, I know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.  You are the Friend that I have always desired.  I grew up pretty much alone and isolated from the main members of my family.  You allowed me to be raised by my grandparents and for that, Almighty God, I am thankful.  You knew the course my life would take and even then you were preparing me to become a Messenger of the LORD.  You are my FRIEND!  O Lord, how excellent is your wisdom. How Holy is your name.

The path through which you have directed me sometimes feels like walking through the “shadow of death,” but even then, protection is provided.  How do I explain to the world what I see and hear, Dear Lord God?  Why is it difficult for your created souls to believe that all things are spiritual in this world?  Does not the Holy Scriptures declare it to be so?  Why is there so much doubt?  Because of what I see and hear around me, I am confident that being with you, loving you, and remaining in your Presence is the only way to survive.  Your revelations of the existence of the things active in our daily lives that stem from the spiritual realm, are forever implanted within my soul.  Never let me forget or fall away, Lord Jesus.  You have my permission, LORD, to “perfect” your will within my heart every second of the day.  It is through you, Almighty God, that I survive day after day.  Thank you, Lord!

I pray for those that continue to show me kindness, Lord.  I pray for those that believe and follow the teachings that you have provided to me and them.  Protect them, Merciful Father, so that they can grow stronger day by day in your perfect grace.  I pray, Father God, that all enemies of the LORD will be bound this day and always, so that we can continue to grow as a ministry and as a people that have purposed to love you and only you; A people that is willing to be called by your name and accept you as “Our God.”

Lord, may all visitors to our website become infected with your love.  Help them to see that you truly are God and that through you all things are possible that are within your perfect will for their lives.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Prayers: Seeking Thee in Prayer

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD, my God, my Father, my Friend and Savior Jesus Christ, I humble my heart, my mind, and my soul before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day.  I acknowledge you as LORD and Savior of all things in my life.  I am grateful that you are my God and that you protect me in ways that I could never imagine.  I repent Father, of all sins that I might have committed before you, against you, and against your people, my LORD!  Please teach me, Father, to walk holy and perfectly before you.  I come this day, Lord Jesus, just to say thank you!  I ask for nothing this day, Lord, but to be in your perfect will.  I have no idea what today holds for me, but I do know that as long as I continue to love you completely, Sweet Jesus, that I can handle all things that come my way.  I submit my heart to you today as the Living Son of God Almighty.  Teach me thy ways, Lord.  Guide me into your truths.

As I go forward this day, Heavenly Father, I pray for all the disciples and students that you have given to Dissect My Soul Ministries.  Protect them this day from the enemy of God.  Allow them the freedom to choose YOU, O Lord, my God.  Be merciful to them, Father, as they go out into the world today.  Grant them Peace everlasting and continue to teach them how to enter into your Presence, Dear God.  Help them to understand that you will be there as long as they do not shut you out.  Help them, Lord, to bring EVERY thought before you as they bask in the beauty and power of your Almighty Presence.  I linger, Lord,…now do I linger Lord, as I wait for your daily instruction and guidance for my soul.  It is here, LORD, that I understand who you are.  Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this opportunity to be so in Love with you! You are ALL that I need. Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Prayers: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, O how I love you, Lord God!  The deeper my love for you becomes, the more I realize that I do not know you…not ALL of you! You are more than a mind can ever imagine. Continue to stretch my understanding and my love for you on every level, my LORD.  With every revelation of who you are, the more I realize the vastness of your being.  Only a God that is God can be so multifaceted.  There is nothing common about you.  With every round of glory exposed, there is yet 100 more rounds to go!  How awesome you are, Dear LORD.  Thank you for your teachings and presence in my life.  When I am with you at the start of each day, I want nothing but to stay in your presence forever and worship you as God.  How great is the sweet savor of your breath and the all-blinding glow of your righteousness.  When you push me away to begin my day, it is always with the assurance that you will remain present every second and guide me as I go.  I leave “drunk” from your holy presence and find that it takes time to gather myself to visually see and understand where I am!  Worshipping you, LORD, reaches deep into my Soul!  O Lord, Dissect My Soul.  I offer this prayer, Lord, for all those that read it and especially for those that accept the words in their hearts as their own prayer to you.  Amen.

I pray, Heavenly Father, that the students received the wisdom that you provided yesterday as revealed from the book of Deuteronomy.  I have read this book so many times, but never received it as I did yesterday.  Thank you, Lord, for always knowing what we need at specific times in our lives.  I surrender my heart and soul to you this day and accept you all over again as the greatest love of my life.  Have mercy on me, Father God.

Continue to bless the disciples of Dissect My Soul Ministries and all its followers and students. Particularly bless the people that have joined our “Love Jesus” Movement.  Help us, LORD, and guide us in uniting the whole world in loving you completely.  Teach us to worship you in truth and in spirit as you have commanded.  It is your requirement that we love you in this way, Father, since you are Spirit!  The words of the Holy Scriptures prove that this demand is critical to developing an intimate relationship with you since you communicate with us ONLY by Spirit to spirit.  When our spirit communicates with your Spirit, we then become one with you, Lord.  Thank you, Father, that there is no other way.  Thank you that the way to you has been made available for all people.  The race, color, or gender does not matter.  Every created soul can find you if it chooses to, and every soul can fall in love with you, if such a one is willing to succumb to your perfect will!  Thank you for the assurance that you are willing to be the God of all that are willing to “be your people.”  Keep me as your people, LORD, and please remain as My GOD!  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Prayers: Have Mercy On Me Lord

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD Almighty, I give you my heart today.  I love you, LORD, far greater than mere words can express.  Teaching others about your unchanging love reaches far beyond my expressions of love and worship to you.  If I am able to shake the vine, Lord, to produce “fruit,” then my soul is at peace.  Although selfishly I desire to keep you all to myself, I am comforted by the fact that you are so wide and fill the everlasting space of time that there is no need for me to want you all to myself.  Lord, the more I get to know you, the more I realize that every “surrendered” soul can already claim that “it” has total personal access to your Spirit, because it is so!  You have no end to your love and what you have to offer.  Giving me 100 percent of “You” takes nothing from anyone else and, God, that blows my mind!  How could I understand this and not love you completely?

The ways of Satan are evil through and through.  There is no light anywhere.  The closer I get to you, LORD, the more I see the ways of your enemy, which is now my enemy only because I dared to love you, Lord Jesus, with ALL of my heart.  Father, when you sent me to the Christian world to tell it that ¾ of the Christian world is on its way to hell and don’t know it, I believed that it could change.  I believed, Lord, that one by one, church by church, when they heard the truth that change would come.  I so wanted to believe this.  I, even I, wanted to prove to you that change could take place.  I thank you, Lord, for those that have listened and those that are yet seeking the truth.  Bless them, Lord, and show them the truths that you have shown me so that we can all walk with you hand in hand, Lord Jesus!  Show me, Lord, the many truths that you have shown others so that I too can have all of you.

But…O God, the evil that I have seen within the body of Christ!  The hatred and bitterness that fills the very pores of the Christian Leaders who dare to be called by your name.  I have seen the Ministers and Preachers lurking in the darkness to contrive evil acts against others.  I have seen Churches allow Satan to sing and dance in the pulpits and they are clueless to who he is.  I have heard the true doctrines of demons being preached to your people and I, Lord, have even seen the Pastors degrading members from the pulpit and preaching to destroy them emotionally with lies and deep deceptions!  I set out to show you that there is hope and instead you allowed me to see what you see…Oh how great is the darkness and the evil!  How can you love us, LORD God?  The stench that comes up to you is great.  How do you tolerate our lack of obedience and failure to worship you as God?  LORD, have mercy on our souls!

With every revelation of who you are, I am more humbled in your presence knowing that you are the great I AM THAT I AM!  To have known “I AM” allows me to stay close to you and never depart.  Thank you for the protection you have provided all of my life and particularly over the past week.  You know my heart and what I need…always.  Thank you, LORD GOD.

I pray now, LORD, for the students and followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries.  Keep them grounded and safe.  May they grow continuously in perfecting their relationships with you, Father.  For those participants that have already joined the “Love Jesus” Movement and those that are yet to join, I pray, God, that you will make the spiritual challenge of falling deeper in love with you as powerful as the Holy Spirit will allow!  Help them to know that there is more to loving you than what the world is saying. For this dear Lord, I am grateful. Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Prayers: Divine Revelation of Clouds

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Lord, my God, how awesome is your wisdom and knowledge.  Thank you, Father, for loving me better than I could ever love myself.  Thank you, LORD GOD, for the protective arm that you place around your children as the enemy rages close by.  Most of all, I thank you today for the revelation you have provided of the mysterious image I saw in the sky as I traveled through the mountains.  I love you, LORD GOD, for all that you are and I pray, LORD, that you will always direct my paths.  As I embrace this day, I need you to be with me every second.  Let the meditations of my heart be forever of thee, O LORD.  Today, I worship you and you alone.  Teach me thy ways, Father, so I can always be within your perfect will.  I give you my heart today and openly declare my everlasting love for you.  You are the greatest Friend that I have ever had.  Help me to always remain as loyal to you as you are to me.

Allow those that see or hear this revelation, LORD, to receive it as being from You, Father. Help them, Lord, to not lean upon their own understanding and to know that you are still speaking to your people and all souls that are willing to hear.  I give you all the honor and glory this day and ask, LORD, that you Dissect My Soul.  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Divine Revelation of Clouds

Divine Revelation and Wisdom of God

Dear Students and Followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries, I greet you today in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Living Son of God.  I pray that you will do all that you can to right the wrongs in your lives in order to conform to the perfect will of God.  This is my prayer not only for you, but also for me.  Amen.

I bring to you today the revelation of God regarding a very unusual cloud that I witnessed a few days ago.  I asked God at the time I saw this strange phenomenon to explain to me what I saw…if it was His will that I know.  This morning, as I labored in prayer and worship with God, He explained what I saw.  It was not a vision, as some of you might think.  My companion driver saw this image of the cloud and the darkened shadow just as I did.  See God’s revelation below:

“Zelma, my Child, hear my words of Wisdom and explanation of what you saw near the mountain.  There was no shadow.  There was an unusual cloud that you witnessed on the backside of the mountain.  My Spirit prevailed in the cloud.  I only hovered over a portion of the mountain which was that portion filled with light.  I am all light.  There is no darkness within Me.  The shadow that appeared on the mountain that had not my light was that part of the mountain that was missing my Presence.  So it is with the world around you.  When I am not present, artificial light appears to the natural eye and gives all men a false sense of comfort.  If they have never known the light that I AM, they do not even know they are in darkness.  This is what breaks my heart.  They say that I am there with them when I am not.  They say this because they have not yet known Me.  As you saw the dark shadowy mountains looming ahead, so do I see the darkness that is prevailing over those who claim to know Me.  How long must I wait?  When will they truly love Me?  I am the Almighty God that can provide all things.  Yet I am not loved as God Almighty!  Should I leave the whole world in darkness since they love their lives and their own wisdom more than Me?  It is my desire that ALL men should know Me and love Me.  Tell them to “consider” the mountains that you witnessed.  Do they want to live in the shadow of darkness cast by the spirit of evil or do they desire to rest in my Presence and be gathered into my arms that provide perpetual light?  Remember that “I Am that I Am that I Am” and always will be.  Tell them my child…Tell them that I am the LORD!”

Scripture Reference and Consecration:

As you read the scriptures below, place yourself in the story as either the person being spoken to, the one being disobedient, or the one being blessed.  Make it personal to your life. Remember that even though the scriptures explain to you the character of God and how He handled or spoke to the people of that time, it only becomes relevant to you if you become the character in the story and seek to follow the character of God.  This prevents each of us from “pretending” that we are better than those being spoken to.  Amen.

Also notice that God always had an independent message for the people.  Know that He is still speaking to us today. We make God a liar when we say that He is not able to speak and reveal to His people today.  Seek God for further understanding of the revelation that is stated herein.  Remain blessed in the Lord Forever.  Amen.

  • And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. (Deut. 28:29)
  • The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deut. 29:29)
  • 1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53: 1-3)
  • 19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter. (Dan. 2:19-23)
