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.

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: Evil is Everywhere

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God and my Lord.  I thank you not only for this day in which you have allowed me to breath, to hear, to see, and to understand.  I pray that you will protect me throughout my daily journey and my complete walk with you, Lord.  Today, dear LORD, I surrender my soul unto you.  The more I see…the more I understand.  I know that you have given me choices in life and, Sweet God Almighty, I choose you!  I want no other choice in life.  I understand that I am not capable of choosing correctly for myself.  The devil stands watching at the gates of my heart to present me with choices that are against your perfect will for me.  I see him, and I hear him, but I will not open my heart to him.  The only way, Father, that I can survive is with you!  Amen.

On my last Sabbath Day, LORD, as I studied your word, prayed and worshiped you, God, I gained added light into the degree of evil that surrounds this world.  How great is this evil! All the wisdom of this world does not compare to even a single element of what you give to those that Love YOU, dear Lord.  The foolishness of our hearts and our evil imaginations are only evil in your sight as the Almighty God.  When we begin to think that we are in control of our own destiny, we have already lost the battle.  When we believe that we have gotten away with a particular sinful act, we fool ourselves, as you, God, cannot be deceived. Evil lurks nearby delighted that we have been such an easy prey.  O God, have mercy on us!

You protect us when we have no knowledge that we need to be protected.  Please, Lord; continue to identify the things for which we must pray.  Search our hearts and know that we want you and YOU alone.  Search my heart, Heavenly Father, and KNOW that I am yours. Remove, LORD, all things that might stand between you and me and that might deny me access to your Presence, Dear God.  I give you all of me today, yet again.  I do not trust what I see or hear.  I only trust you, LORD.  It is your truth and your understanding that guides me along this treacherous journey of life.  Thank you for your Mercy and your Grace. I pray that the Holy Ghost Spirit will dwell this day within my total being.  I am treading on dangerous ground and evil is all around.  Every step I take, I take in faith that Wisdom is with me.  I understand that because of my love for you, dear LORD, that your enemies have become my enemies.  I know that the first and last layer of protection for me is wrapped up in Wisdom!  How great is your Wisdom, my God.  I will not be moved by the angry gestures, or the awful visions of destruction.  I place my soul and my spirit into the hands of you as my LORD and Savior.  Amen.

Bless the members of DMSM and the students that pass our way.  Give them the right mind and heart to serve you this day.  Let them know that you truly are God! Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Divine Revelation of Clouds

/in /by

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)

Prayers: Clouds

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God Almighty, this day I submit my will unto thee.  I ask for forgiveness, Lord God, for anything that I might have said or done against thee.  Today I honor and worship you, O Lord.

Today, God, I saw a very interesting thing.  I saw a thing that has caused me to worship you even more.  Please help me understand, Lord Jesus.  I was traveling on the interstate in a mountainous area.  As a passenger in the car, I found myself “considering” the mountains, the sky, the clouds, and the wind!  O Lord, have mercy on my soul.

As the mountains loomed ahead and around, I saw a shadow slowly cover the major hilltops.  Some of the mountains were greatly lightened with brightness, but, O God, there was a “shadow” that covered a major portion of the hilltop.  I looked into the sky to see what was visible that could be casting such a strange shadow.  There was no cloud nearby.  In fact, there were no clouds…except a small oddly shaped figure in the sky above.  It stood afar off from the hilltop, as if gazing on from the inside out.  The closer I drew nearer to the mountains, the darker and more pronounced the shadow became.  Though my natural mind saw nothing out of the ordinary, my inner spirit began to reveal much more.  I instantly knew that a war was raging in the spiritual realm!  Lord, I did not understand.  All I knew was that your wonders of the world continue to amaze me.

As I entered the backside of the mountain, the most incredible sight was hovering over the top of the mountain.  It was a cloud…a very unusual cloud.  It was oval-shaped and had multiple layers that stacked upon each other.  It looked almost transparent as if each layer stood alone yet was mingled as one.  It was not very big, but it was the source of the shadow that was covering the mountain side!  The wind was blowing profusely and leaves on the nearby trees were waving in the wind.  It was truly an amazing sight, Dear Lord!

What did I see?  How could it affect one part of the mountain and not the other?  This whole experience helped me to see, once again, that the things we trust in this world may or may not be worthy of our trust.  The things created by you for mankind to rely upon, we forsake. Forgive me, Father, for my rejection of you in any way.  I might not ever understand the experience I had, but I will forever be grateful that you continue day by day to perfect the things around us.  Thank you, LORD God, for your love and protection.

Teach me, Lord, always.  Help me to remain open to all that you have.  Pour your Holy Spirit within my mind and help me to always be open to your wisdom, Father.  I pray, Lord God, for Dissect My Soul members, students, and followers.  Strengthen them, Lord, each day.  They are seeking your presence, Lord, so that we might ALL be in one accord with you.  You know my heart and my prayer for each of them individually, so I pray that your perfect will can prevail in our lives.  We know, Lord God, that it is through your perfect will that we are able to stand.  Amen, Amen and Amen.
