The End Of the Year Prayer


We give all honor and praise to our Mighty God, who is called by many names(JEHOVAH, YAHWEH, I AM, ELOHIM, JEHOVAH-JIREH, JEHOVAH-ROPHE, JEHOVAH-NISSI, JEHOVAH-M'KADDESH, YESHUA, IMMANUEL, LORD, MASTER, ALMIGHTY.......). He is our rock, our shield, our strong tower, our rest, our healer, our provider, our protector and constant help. We lift up our hands to you and we say thank you for all your grace and mercy this year. You have kept us and never forsaken us in 2009. You were there holding our hand every step of the way. Jesus you are our brother and best friend. You took all our concerns and prayers to the Father and interceded on our behalf. You answered our prayers and you delivered us in our time of trouble.
There is no one like you. You are the Alpha and Omega, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The whole earth bows down before you. You are our light and source of power. We could not do it without you. Thank you, thank you Jesus! We have made it another year. Thank you for allowing us to grow. Thank you for purging all the negative stuff inside of us. Thank you for letting us know you more. Thank you for the many blessings, tests, trails and tribulations in our lives; because it only brought you and you alone glory through our testimonies.
What a mighty God we serve. A God that continues to love us pass our transgressions. Thank you Lord for all you have done for us. And we pray that in this New Year you will continue to do a mighty work in us. We pray that many souls and lives will be saved in your holy and precious name. To God be the Glory. In Jesus' name. AMEN.

Go and be blessed.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Don’t Loose Hope!

Sometimes when we make a mess of our lives, or we feel that we have transgressed against the Lord; we often feel like there is no hope. That we are a lost cause, that we have ruined any chances of coming into the fullness of what God has for us. Sometimes when I make mistakes in my walk with God, I tend to have a tiny pity party (I try not to do this but it lasts for about a minute). My pity party usually consists of convincing myself that I have fallen so far from His grace that there might be a slim chance for me to get back. Other times it feels like I have a chart with God and every time I mess up I wonder if it is the last straw; maybe God is done with me this time (I know that these thoughts are from the enemy and pray to God that they do not penetrate into my soul). There is a looming fear that everything God has for you, will be taken away. That you might not enter into the fullness of what He has for you in all aspects of your life. But then I remember that I serve an awesome, forgiving and loving God. God is not man, and often times we base our reactions to God on what we have experienced with other human beings. We think that there is a limit because we have limits ourselves, but God is not man and His love, grace and mercy knows no limits. With God, there is always hope. The Bible says in Colossians 1:27 “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”. This is the hope we must grab a hold of, this is the hope that we can believe in. What we must realize is that the enemy will try to sow seeds of doubt and fear into our lives when we feel that we have completely messed up. He knows just the right time to show up and kick us when we’re down. But we have hope, and that is Christ in us! God will never give up on us. He loves us too much and He has big plans for our lives.

This is not ordinary hope, this is a supernatural, change your life kind of hope. Christ in us, the hope of glory is what the Bible says and I don’t need to tell you that Christ is not ordinary! We never have to feel hopeless; we never have to feel lost. We have a mighty hope available to us.
Romans 5:5 says, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” That means that this hope will never fail; that if we hope in Christ that He will always come through. Some people place their hope in money, politicians/political systems, people, astrology, luck and many other things. But those things will always fail when it comes to hope. They do not last and in cases of astrology and luck they don’t even exists/have a strong foundation. We have a hope that will never make us ashamed. When you feel down and the enemy tells you that there is no hope that God is done with you that you might as well forget about being in His presence; you can say with all authority that Christ in you is your hope, that He will work it out that you may not see Him but He is always there giving you more grace, more mercy, more love and building an indestructible hope in you!

Hold on to hope, never loose sight of it. God has given us a fail-proof hope. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. When we fall, He sees and understands. He is our biggest cheerleader telling us to get up and keep running the race, keep pressing towards the mark of the high calling. He tells us to put our hope in Him. Never feel hopeless! Never feel like God will let you go. He loves you and has called you and He will do a mighty work in you. You always have hope!

Good Friday!!! Worthy is the Lamb

Good Friday is the day our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. Jesus was put on the cross at noon and died at 3:00pm. Between those hours please pray and thank God for what was done on the cross. Thank Him for forgiveness, victory, health, everlasting life, paying the debt for sin and death, for love, peace, grace and mercy. Also for bringing the kingdom of heaven on earth, so that we may have a relationship with Him. Praise the Lord!
My church in Maryland always plays the Passion of Christ on Good Friday. My sister and I are also going to watch it today. It is a good visual reminder of what Jesus went through in order to save us from sin and death. Below is a video of clips from the movie. Worthy is the Lamb by Hillsong is the song in the video. Please share with love ones, friends and co-workers about what Good Friday means to you.


Isaiah 53

1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they[a] made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul,[b]and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

Gunman Kills Pastor During Service

The Associated Press reported that a gunman opened fire March 8th, Sunday morning during a church service in Illinois killing the pastor. This is the third church shooting in the past 5 months. I urge everyone to please pray for the family of the pastor and those who were injured during the shooting. Also please pray for mercy for the gunman and his family. Pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort the church members, staff and the community during this hard time. Here is the link to the article from Aol.com: http://news.aol.com/article/illinois-church-shooting/374149
