Prayers: Vanity of Vanities

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day.  I come, Lord God, just to experience your presence.  It is in your presence that I long to stay.  I am safe from all danger when I am with you, Lord. Each day, as I smell the sweet savor of your breath, Dear LORD, I am so glad that you have shown me how to walk and talk with You.  You have taught me what it means to be a wife, a mother, and a friend.  In all my educated wisdom, loving you has taught me that I knew nothing at all before I met you.  For all this and more, my God, I am grateful.

I am still “Considering” you, O LORD.  There are so many things that we look upon with our natural eyes and mind and we marvel at the wonder of it all not realizing its spiritual significance.  The Bible teaches us, Lord, that you made the sun, the moon, and that you also made the stars.  These heavenly entities will one day pass away.  They were created to bring light in the midst of darkness for a given period of time for the benefit of mankind.  Man has developed ways to capture, worship, and even improve earthly knowledge.  We act in ignorance because we know not what they are.  O LORD, have mercy on us!  Forgive our sinfulness and our desire to be so intellectually superior to others that we prove ourselves truly ignorant before you instead.

I understand the cries of King Solomon when he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.”  Seeing the world through your eyes, Father, creates doom in the eyes of the beholder, yet it brings joy everlasting when one realizes that he has been “saved” from the dangers of the battle that is raging all around!  O God, sometimes it feels like walking through the valleys and shadows of death with the enemy pulling on all sides.  But, O, in the midst of it all, even in the light of the dangers that are seen, you still remain God Almighty.  You still provide unspeakable peace.  By your Mercy, LORD, I have “Considered” all the workings of the world under the sun, and I am grateful that you protect those that love you.  Oh how I love you, Lord God!  Help me to never stop loving you, Father God.  Amen.

I pray now, Lord God, for the faithful followers you have given me.  Help them to continue to seek your presence, Lord.  Keep them safe from danger and hold them close as they seek your wisdom.  Help me to stand for them, Lord, when they cannot stand.  Help us all to remain on one accord while following your directions to us, Father.  Make us all one in your sight and continue to Dissect our souls, Dear Lord.  Shed your sweet loving Holy Ghost upon us, I pray.  Amen.

As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed.  O God, what a thought!  To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end.  To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy.  I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me!  To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Tolerance Is Not Allowed

/in /by

Words of Encouragement:

We have been taught by the world that “tolerance” is a good thing.  We have come to understand that we must be willing to give and take or to compromise for the overall good of those with whom we live, work, or play.  It is through compromise that Satan moves in our hearts to distort our views of right and wrong and ultimately offers us a “new” form of righteousness that is not of God.  God has taught me that His ways are not negotiable.  He is not democratic.  And more to the point, He is NOT tolerant of sin!  This is not to say that we will not make mistakes.  We will, and we do.  However, we must come before God with a truly repentant heart and seek forgiveness from the Lord. He will not listen to our spoken words, but will look into our hearts for our true intent instead.  There He will find the truth!  With this truth, if we are indeed truly repentant, He washes away the stains of our sins and continues to grant us access to His presence.

As you read and “pray the scriptures” below as you have been taught by me…look for the words of truth spoken by God to King Solomon.  He loved him unconditionally, BUT He was clear with His expectations of him and all the people of Israel.  God refused to tolerate sin or disobedience.  He does not want or need our false prayers and sacrifices without us giving Him total access to our hearts.  He does not need us to partially dedicate our lives to Him…He wants ALL of our hearts!  He does not need our songs of praise…He wants ALL of our hearts!

Scripture for Consecration:

After King Solomon had completed the building of the Temple for God, look at what the people and God did. (vs 1-11).

God’s Reaction to Solomon’s prayer after the dedication of the temple. God will NOT be mocked and is an ALL consuming Fire as verified by the scriptures below:

1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house. 2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. 3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. 5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. 9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the Lord had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

God knew the heart of the people and He then made sure King Solomon understood.  He explained that He had indeed heard the great prayer offered by King Solomon and saw the many sacrifices offered for the establishment of the new temple that was built for the Lord. BUT, He still made it plain that He was NOT tolerant of sin!  The promises of God are true, but there are conditions to be met.  O LORD, have mercy on our souls.  Be wise in your reading and understanding of these scriptures.

God appears to Solomon and gives him some conditional promises

12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel 19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.  (2 Chron 7:1-22)

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.

Words of Encouragement:

Do you realize how much The LORD loves YOU!  The God who created all things is madly in love with you.  Every day, I discover and understand the love of God in ways that I could never imagine before.  Consider the true story below:

“Tell him that I love him:”

A few weeks ago, I was having trouble with my laptop.  I knew that I needed to get it repaired immediately as I was leaving the country in a few days and would need it while I was away.  I began to search on Google for a service center that could help me with short notice.  I immediately found a nearby shop that could see me that day.  As I spoke to the gentleman on the phone, I encountered a “spirit” that I could not identify at the time.  It was informative, yet aloof; semi-kind yet rude.  When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted and assisted by a very personable young man.  This was clearly not who I had spoken to over the phone.  There was another gentleman there that appeared to be the boss.  He was very demanding of his employees and seemed to micromanage their every move.  I inquired of the whereabouts of the gentleman that I had spoken to on the phone, as I had gotten his name. Not surprisingly, the gentleman on the phone was the same as the man that appeared as the boss.  He was the boss.

At the end of the service visit, some 5 hours later since the laptop had to be left with them, I noticed a sign in the shop that appeared to be of a Christian nature.  The “boss” had begun to introduce me to various types of software that would be helpful to me in the real estate business, and my husband and I listened attentively.  Suddenly, the conversation changed to life issues regarding the government and how he believed that “Big Brother” was forever watching our every move.  On the surface of what he was saying I had no objections, but spiritually I knew there was more to the story.  I found this man to be extremely intelligent and very well read.  He was educated and boasted of his knowledge as a neurophysicist.  He continued to talk about various subjects that further demonstrated his vast knowledge of the physical world.  I looked at the poster again and I asked him if he was a Christian.  He hesitated slightly and then said he was neither a Christian nor an Atheist. He explained himself as a man of wisdom that looks at everything based on scientific fact.  Our conversation was too detailed to recap it all here, but I then knew why God had sent me to this place.

God had a message for this man.  I was instructed to let him know that Jesus loves him no matter what he believes.  No matter what I said to him, he would ignore my words and wanted only to debate the reality of the true existence of God.  I refused to debate.  I was able to honestly say to him that I did not have to debate because I am “absolutely” sure that God is real.  I explained that I do not rely on the words or testimonies of others as I have personally seen and heard the voice of God Almighty.  I explained that there is nothing that he could say that could change my mind as I KNOW that my God IS God!  We ended this conversation with me begging him to go to my website and read my testimony to understand how I came to “Know” absolutely that Jesus Christ is the living son of God and that God is real.  He promised me that he would.  By the end of our conversation, I saw the human spirit within this man that had an unspoken yearning to know if I was speaking the truth.

Since that day, I am compelled to pray for him daily.  I only pray that God’s will is accomplished in his life.  I do not know what will happen.  But I do know, even while he was denying the existence of my LORD, God was holding an outstretched arm trying to pull this man into His presence.  Today, the LORD shared with me that this man has been chosen by him to be a Messenger to this dying Christian world!  He will continue to pull at his heart until he accepts.  O LORD God, what an awesome loving act this is.

How can this real life story encourage us all?  Know that God is love.  He has the answer to all our problems.  He has a purpose for this man.  Does He have one for you?  Humble yourself to gain a true relationship with Jesus Christ.  There is no other hope in this world.

The devil is deceiving the people of God daily.  Do not be caught in his trap.  Do not think of yourself as better than this man.  He has lived as he has lived by the grace of God and NOW God Almighty will mold him and equip him with “absolute” truth.  Truth that he has no knowledge of, but truth that he will soon come to love and adore.

Be aware of the influence of evil disguised as good!  A few days after my encounter with the man, I was in a church service and saw the people lifting up their hands and praising God! They sang beautiful, melodious songs unto the Lord God.  The LORD began to speak to me and said, “Look at them my child.  They lift up their hands, they shout, and they praise.  But they do not praise me.  They do not worship me.  Their hearts are far from me!”  God shared that the man at the computer shop would more quickly convert to loving Him completely than the hypocrites that were pretending to love Him.  “O LORD God,” I cried!  “Have mercy on us, LORD.  Help us to learn what it means to love and worship you with ALL of our soul.” Be careful that you give no place to the devil within your heart.  This can only be completed through surrendering everything to God in prayer!  You can never resist the devil and he will never flee until you surrender all.  Amen.

Scripture Reference for Meditation and Obedience:

Our fight in this world is not against flesh and blood.  We are not to fight against each other.  We are called to love each other as God loves us.  Do not wrap yourself up in the politics of this world.  Lean unto the LORD for all the wisdom that you need.  Your one true purpose in life is to fall in love with Jesus Christ, My Lord, and Savior.  Fighting each other will produce no spiritual fruit in our lives.  Loving the Lord God by trusting and obeying His commands will yield an overflowing of spiritual knowledge and blessings.  Remember, everything “spiritual” is NOT from God.  Satan is a spirit whose purpose is to present himself as God in our lives.

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.  (James 4:1-8)

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.

Words of Wisdom: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

/in /by

Words of Wisdom and Scripture Reference:

Men should always live for the opportunity to praise and worship God.  To “shout” as most Christians think of it is to offer praise and worship to God.  But, is it really?  It can be…if sincere.  To run, scream, and yell does not mean that true praise and worship are being offered.  Lucifer, now called the devil, was once a Cherubim Angel and was responsible for leading other angels in praising and worshipping God.  As an act of rebellion against God, whom he hates, he incites many Christians today to disturb church services with “false” audible praise that many accept as true praises to God.  Fortunately, those with a genuine spiritual connection with God are not deceived and can discern the devil’s works.  God has taught me the proper manner in which to offer Him praise and worship.  I share these teachings with you below.

What is Praise?

Praise, as God has taught me, is to be thankful.  When we praise God, we express our gratitude for His response to our prayers and His protection of us in all matters.  His loving arms are forever outstretched to fight our enemies for our survival.  He does the things that we cannot do for ourselves, and for that, we should be grateful and thankful.  We praise with a loud voice; we exclaim His joy everlasting, we dance as David danced, and we might even hold up holy hands.  All of these things are acts of visible praise that others might see.  God searches the heart as we praise Him to see if we are truly praising Him or creating a “show” for others to see.  God cannot be fooled. Our praise must be genuine.  The scriptures below are only a few that support the act of giving proper praise to God:

  • 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. (Gen 29:35)
  • 2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel. (Judges 5:2-3)
  • 6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. (2 Chron 7:5-6)

What is Worship?

To worship God is to absolutely adore Him!  When we worship Him, we must “humble” ourselves in His presence.  Who are we to stand upright before the Lord God?  In true worship, we automatically fall on our knees, hide our faces, bow our heads, etc.  God is too great for us to stand upright in His presence if we truly worship Him!  The “surrendered” human spirit of man worships God, and an abandoned spirit already knows how to worship the LORD God Almighty! The scriptures below support what God has taught me about worship.  True worship cannot be faked. However, Satan will mock true worshipers.  His goal is to pull such a worshiper into false praise and loud outbursts, to pull them out of truly humbling themselves before the LORD.  This does not mean worship is always silent, but it does mean it is NOT disruptive.  God only reads the heart and knows the true intent of the heart.  Make sure you are not guilty of allowing the enemy to move you into false worship.

During “true” worship given to God, the surrendered human spirit ignores the natural surroundings as the worshiper fixates on the Spirit and Presence of God Almighty!  Search the scriptures and see what is said about “worship.” A few significant scriptures are listed below:

5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. (Ex 34:5-8)

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)

26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord. 27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren. (Gen 24:26-27)

48 I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son. (Gen 24:48)

31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. (Ex 4:31)

Prayers: Have Mercy On Me Lord

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.

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD, my great and awesome God.  Thank you, Father, for yet another opportunity to stand before your throne that is filled with Grace and Mercy.  Grace that abounds bountifully within my heart and Mercy that looks beyond my sinful flesh and responds to my every spiritual need.  To Thee, O God, do I bow down and worship your Holy Name!

Even as I love you, Lord, I see the walls caving in around me, O my God!  I see the world going mad in its zeal to know all things.  I see the Churches entering the race for prestige and wisdom…without seeking your face.  Even as I see the devastating things of this world, as you have allowed me to see, My LORD, I experience the comfort of being held in your loving arms.  It is here, LORD, that I, even I, enjoy your powerful peace and the glory and majesty of your holy presence!  Because you shower me with your everlasting Love, O God, I have no fear of the horrible things that I see.  Thank you, LORD, for loving me more than I could ever love myself.  I know, Sweet Jesus, that it is because of your love that I am able to stand.  Thank you for teaching me how to love.  Amen.

Today LORD, as always, I pray for Dissect My Soul Ministries’ Disciples and Followers.  I bring them with me, before your throne, O God.  I pray that you will shower them with your everlasting love and protection.  They are like “Lambs,” O Lord, that are willing to follow your every direction.  They have been allowed to witness much on this journey to live for You alone, Lord God.  They have seen the many miracles that you have performed and they have witnessed the attempted destruction by your enemy against us all, O LORD.  Many have come and gone, but these, O God, are still standing!  Thank you for their faithfulness to You and the Ministry that you have given us.  Keep us forever humbled before you, O Lord.  Help us to continuously know that without you, we are weak and powerless.  Help us, Father, to continue to walk in Faith, understanding that with You, O God, we are capable of doing all things in your name.

As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed.  O God, what a thought!  To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end.  To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy.  I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me!  To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love.  Amen, Amen and Amen.
