STRENGTHENED IN CHRIST

Being faithful Christians, we are Strengthened by the LORD, empowered and graced with Divine strength and authority in Christ Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, to bring down strongholds; we are armed to subdue the forces of darkness, even as we remain secure in the Hands of God. Yet, we mustn't give the devil a chance; for he's restless, seeking for ways to activate the weakness of the flesh of men, in order to separate them from The Great I Am, stealing their souls for himself by breaking the Divine connection between Man and God, through his deceptive ways and fellow demons.

Therefore, when we are weak, we should boast, and endeavor to remain strong in the LORD, Strengthened by His Holy Spirit, through the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by constantly meditating in His Word, affirming it daily, and wielding it wisely, even while we pray continually, that we may always abide in Him, as He dwells in us; for, we are the Redeemed of the Lord, in all things Overcomers, and more than Conquerors, in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER: Thank you, LORD, for the strength you've given us, which abides in us through the presence of the Holy Spirit, for this has made us greater than he that is in the world, as Overcomers who are strengthened in Christ Jesus, so be it!

Amen.

From Luke 11:21-22

ONE KINGDOM STANDING

Every kingdom divided against itself is destined for a great fall; even the forces of darkness unite under a rebellious leader to cause the destruction of many, because they know: they only have a limited time to exist, the Sons of God are growing in multitude daily, advancing God's Kingdom in love and unity through the proclaimation of the Gospel, and where demons are being cast out, all over the World, people are being Saved, baptized in the same Holy Spirit, and likewise sent. The demons of darkness and agents of wickedness also unite to cause spiritual weakness by tempting God's vessels, with the intention of separating them from Divine protection, grace and glory. Yet, the lives of the Righteous in Christ Jesus, remain established and rest in the Hands of God, where they are always protected; for the LORD fights their battles, and keeps them safe from all evil.

Therefore, let's endeavor to remain united under the Lordship of Christ, never allowing anything or anyone to separate us from God's love and our Calling as Brethren in Christ, that we may remain spiritually Strengthened as Overcomers, being more than Conquerors in Christ Jesus, breaking barriers and strongholds of the devil, to fulfill our purpose in life as Christians; we are united with the mind of Christ.

PRAYER: LORD, Jesus Christ, thank you for uniting us as one in the body of Christ, to live for your glory, as every day, we strive to advance your Kingdom, which remains established and will always abide, because it's founded on love, through Christ our Lord, forever,

Amen.

From Luke 11:17-18

UNBELIEVERS SOUGHT SIGNS

Although we need not put Our God to the test, the life and character of the Righteous in Christ Jesus, will always be questioned and sometimes condemned by unbelievers who only sought for more signs and wonders of Him to clear themselves of their doubtful thoughts towards Our Father. Likewise, we too may have been skeptical whether a Minister or message is of God or not. Usually, this comes as a result of the fear of being overcome spiritually, or jealousy, when it's evidently seen by all that, the Righteous only minister through the Holy Spirit, by the grace of God in Christ, who lives in Him.

So, as Christians, called to minister and Live for Christ, we need to remain in the Word and more faithfully committed to our Calling, that the LORD may continue to reveal Himself, in every aspect of our lives, as vessels of His glorious and marvelous works, so the sons of men may get rid of their wrong and doubtful thoughts, even as they realize where they have fallen, making amends in repentance; for the Salvation of their souls has come, and everyone needs to truly just believe, resulting in Godly actions.

PRAYER: LORD Jesus, thank you for your glorious light shining in us, revealing your Divine grace and presence within and around us, through the Holy Spirit, which testifies that we are Sons of God in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 11:16

ACCUSED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

As Christians, we need to be watchful and fervent in prayers, even as we arm ourselves with the full armor of God, graced with Love, to do the Father's will; for the devil, who is the accuser of the Brethren in Christ Jesus, is always restlessly moving all over the world, seeking for weaker vessels to use for his crafty and deceptive works, to defame the Righteous in Christ Jesus. By the same power, we who worship the LORD in Truth and in the Spirit, will not be distracted nor obstructed from fulfilling the Divine purpose of their Calling as Sons of God. This act of accusing and defaming God's vessels is as a result of jealousy and the fear of being overtaken by another who is more spiritually devoted, and committed to doing the Father's will.

So, we should never allow any baseless accusation or defaming words to distract nor stop us from doing the LORD'S will, for accusers are always afraid of losing their pride, while we, God's vessels, are only alive in Christ Jesus to bring glory to the Father, no matter what it looks like, as we fulfill our purpose in life, by advancing God's Kingdom.

PRAYER: LORD, thank you for making us your chosen vessels, Commissioned to live for your glory, in Christ Jesus, that we may continue advancing your Kingdom, and never get distracted by any false accusation of the wicked, in Jesus' name,

Amen.

From Luke 11:14-15

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS

Our Holy Heavenly Father, the Great I Am That I AM, always answers the prayers of the righteous in Christ Jesus, and will never fail to meet believers at the point of their needs, for He is the covenant-keeping God. We are highly favored and blessed to walk in His righteousness, through Christ our Lord, who is the righteousness of God, the Father Almighty, and this makes us His beloved Sons and Daughters by faith in the One who first loved us.

Therefore, we have been brought back into His presence, and all who ask of the Father, in humility through Christ, in due time His Holy Spirit will definitely be granted to us, and every prayer will be heard, because our Heavenly Father's Love for us is greater than any other ever seen, experienced, or imagined, and He is the Good Shepherd who never forsakes one of His own.

PRAYER: O' LORD, thank you for always being there for us; Your love for us is beyond human comprehension, and this has made all our supplications brought before you in prayers, to be answered by grace, through your Son, Jesus Christ,

Amen

From Luke 11:13

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
