ASK, SEEK AND KNOCK

Though our Heavenly Father, the Great I Am That I Am sees our present situation, knows our hearts' desires, and understands our feelings, answering prayers before we consciously call upon Him, and while we pray He hears us in the Righteous person of Jesus; Yet, we need to remain persistent in prayers, asking for that which we need to glorify Him, seeking for Him, through constant meditation on His glorious Word, that we may continue to abide in His presence through the Holy Spirit, who intercedes for us, and gives a better understanding of God's Righteousness.

Also, we should never relent in knocking on the door of His Divine and abundant favor, grace and sustenance, because we all need these to withstand and overcome every trial and temptation that may come our way.

Moreover, the LORD is a loving, caring and compassionate Father, who always harkens to our voice, granting all our sincere and unselfish desires, welcoming all who seek Him in humility, giving them a better understanding of His good will towards men, and never fails to open the door as the Good Shepherd, to all who knock diligently and fervently, that they may continue to enjoy Divine peace and abundant grace, which He alone provides.

PRAYER: Jehovah, the covenant-keeping God who never forsakes us, even in times of need, we come through Your Son; for whenever we ask, seek, and knock, you are always there to answer, show us the way, and open the door of grace and favor for us.

O' LORD, be thou glorified in Jesus'name,

Amen

From Luke 11:9-10

HOW TO PRAY

The Lord's prayer is not a vain recitation of the Christian prayer, but a guide on what to say while praying, for we commune with God directly in Christ Jesus through prayers. 

The Lord's prayer contains:

1. Thanksgiving: We are rendering praise, honor and adoration to God, showing appreciation for what He alone has done, that which He is doing, and by faith, many more mighty works which He is still going to do for our good as His Beloved Children, dwelling in the shadow of His wings.

2. Forgiveness: This is also essential, for as you seek, knock, and ask for God's Divine favor, super-sustenance, and will, remember to ask in humility for His mercy and forgiveness, for He is a Merciful Father who is always ready to forgive any who seek complete forgiveness in repentance. Though we are saved by His Grace, through faith in Christ, daily changing our minds to be more like Jesus, brings us even closer to the Father, through the Holy Spirit who refreshes our souls and makes us deserving of all we are asking from the LORD, which is in His will.

Also, we need to remain willing to likewise forgive, showing mercy and compassion to all, that our Heavenly Father may also forgive our sins and separate us, with His Divine and protective shield, away from all which leads to temptation, that we may remain in His presence, where there is peace and everlasting joy. 

Therefore, as you always pray in humility, with a faithful heart, see the Lord's prayer as a guide, and your prayers will surely be answered by faith in the Son of God.

PRAYER: in Jesus' holy name, Heavenly Father, we praise and adore who you are, for all you've done, that which you're doing, and all you are still going to do. Please let your Divine Mercy overcloud judgement in our lives, that our supplications may be accepted before you, being made worthy of your Divine grace, where your glory serves as a shield of light.

Amen

From Luke 11:2-4

FOCUS ON GOD'S WORD

As Christians, we need to focus more on strengthening our faith in the One True God through constant prayer and daily meditate on His Word, the Bread and Fountain of Life, affirming it daily, even as it nourishes we citizens of God's Kingdom, to keep us sustained through the Holy Spirit. The Word of God deserves to be loved with the full strength of everybody; it's also the Sword of the Spirit which defeats the forces of darkness and powers of wickedness, yet strengthens our souls to remain fit and equipped to do the Father's will, for the Salvation of souls, only by Christ Jesus.

Many things pull and press us to lose stability on His Righteousness, thinking this world could be fixed other ways, if we were more busy doing the will of our flesh; so, we should not relent in spending time with the Word of God, developing our faith in His Son above any others, and asking for God-given Wisdom and Spiritual gifts, used together with Brothers and Sisters across the planet, that we may continue to stand strong, victoriously equipped and fit as conquerors in Christ Jesus who first loved us by laying down His Life for a friend.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for keeping our minds focused on doing your will, and our souls nourished by your Word, Jesus Christ, to live for your glory, which is being physically expressed though our character and Way of life, in Christ Jesus

Amen.

From Luke 10:41-42

SHOWING LOVE AND MERCY

The true character and qualities of a Child of God and faithful Christian, are known through one's compassionate behavior towards another, acting in love, even as one allows mercy to overcloud his thoughts towards all who offend him. Also, whenever he sees a neighbor in pain, troubled, or in a state of confusion, he not only prays in Jesus' name, but willingly renders help to the best of his ability, from the depth of his heart, because the love of the Father is in him, and he can never see his fellow man in pain and feel at ease.

Therefore, we should always endeavor to show the love of God in us to all, expressing it compassionately, and sharing without discrimination, that the Divine presence of Christ, through the Holy Spirit in us, may be seen by all, touching lives for the Salvation of souls, by Christ Jesus.

PRAYER: LORD, Ever-loving Father, thank you for showing your love through sending your Son, Jesus Christ, willing to accept all who are ready to receive Him; by living for Him we will show your love to all the world, for the Salvation of souls, in Jesus' name,

Amen.

From Luke 10:36-37

LOVING GOD AND MAN

This is the greatest and highest Commandment; that we should love the LORD our God with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our strength, and with all our minds, which is also our full-being, created by God. Likewise, we should also love our neighbors as ourselves; with this we express the love of the Father in Christ Jesus, to even our enemies, through our character and way of life. This quality is a major requirement needed to advance God's Kingdom as vessels of His Divine will, Commissioned to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, and set the captives free, which can only be done with the power of love indwelling one.

Therefore, we need to never relent in expressing the love of the Father in us to all, though it may look differently, discriminating against no one; for with our integrity and manners, we can also bear fruits for God's glory, advancing His Kingdom through great love, changing lives forever, which is the will of the Holy Father.

May it be done through we on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

PRAYER: Thank you Ever-loving Father, for your love has been greatly expressed by the life, death, and resurection of your only begotten Son, whose presence in us through the Holy Spirit, has made us living vessels of your Divine will, saved to live for your glory; sharing your unconditional love with all, in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 10:27

BLESSED DISCIPLES OF CHRIST

Being faithful Christians and true Disciples of Christ, we are blessed to feel and experience Christ through the Gospel and the Divine manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Though, the first Twelve Apostles and Disciples of Christ had personal experiences with Him, many Old Testament Prophets looked forward to the fulfilment of the Old Covenant, which in their absence, later was satisfied by Christ Himself; even so, we are highly favored to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, which keeps us equipped to live for Christ, as His true ambassadors.

We are especially blessed because we believe Him, even without setting eyes on the flesh descended from King David's. When a verse is shared, unlike other quotes we may see digitally, hear in oral form, or touch on a page held by one who perceives there is more to understand, the power to change lives is present as the Holy Spirit gives new perception of The Word, bringing it to life in a willing vessel, open just enough for Love to enter at the perfect time for the One True God to Save.

So, let's not relent in using this graceful privilege given to us, to live victoriously for our Forever Friend Jesus, that we may continue to advance God's Kingdom, even as we bear more fruits, by gaining more souls for His glory, in the face of Christ.

PRAYER: LORD, Blessed Redeemer, thank you for the grace given us, to sense your Divine presence within and around us, through identifying your Son, Jesus Christ, by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, which keeps us safe as citizens of your Heavenly Kingdom, in Jesus' name,

Amen

From Luke 10:23-24

REVEALING THE FATHER

There is no man born of a woman, who has ever seen God in His glory and majesty, except Jesus Christ the only begotten Son and image of God, who came from Heaven for the Salvation of men. He is the only one who reveals, through the Holy Spirit, the deep things of God to all who are obediently submissive to His Word and Divine will.

Therefore, as Christians, willing to know more about God, we need to be more spiritually devoted to our Calling, by constantly meditating on God's Word, affirming it daily, that the Holy Spirit may continue to give us a better understanding of the Father, through His exact likeness, Jesus Christ His Son and the Bride whom, being guided willingly, is receiving the revelation.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word, Jesus Christ, who declares your presence in our lives, and brings your Kingdom through the Holy Spirit, which gives us hope as we hold on steadfastly to our faith in Christ Jesus your Son,

Amen.
