It's Time to Pray

Prayer changes things, Circumstances, Places and People! “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1Tim. 2:1-4).
  • “As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” (Psalms 55:16-17)
  •  “He shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.” (Psalms 72:15) 
  • “Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.” (Psalms 86:3) 
  • “Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.” (Psalms 88:9) 
  • “I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.” (Psalms 145: 1-3)

As mature Christians we are naive to ignore or deny the reality of spiritual conflicts between good and evil and our role in them as believing saints. Our main weapon in a prayer offensive is a keen knowledge and application of scripture "declared verbally" in the same way Jesus fought the devil in his wilderness experience.
  1. Prayer is a vital key that connects us with our heavenly Father. 
  2. Prayer is both an incredible privilege and an awesome responsibility. It can move the hand of God in situations where there is no other hope. 
  3. Biblical prayer is crying to God out of the depths; it is the pouring out of the soul before God.
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). When a person is RIGHT with God, the power of his sincere prayer is tremendous!"

If God said it, We can count on it!


It’s amazing how we can read God’s word and feel that He was speaking directly to us; and after we’ve prayed we come away with a feeling that everything is going to be all-right. 

There is that feeling of assurance which lets us know in our spirit that whatever we prayed for will not be denied. 

God’s word is so comforting that we know If He said it, we can count on it. He never lies. In fact, there is only one thing that God cannot do, and that is to fail.

He and His word are completely trustworthy in every respect, and that is why it behooves us to pray His promises with confidence.

Here are some of God’s promises related to His faithfulness:
  •  “Faithful is He that called you, who also will do it” (1Thes. 5:24).
  •  “God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1Cor. 1:9).
  •  “As for God, His ways is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried; He is a buckler to all those that trust in him” (Ps. 18:30).
  • “So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isa.55:11).
God is the great Promise keeper, and we can be Promise-Reapers if we will trust Him to fulfill His word in our lives. 

All of God’s promises are yes and Amen. Let us trust Him to be Lord over our lives.

Is Your Heart Right With God?

Renowned Pastor in Uganda with a "successful ministry" in saving many souls, many healed and many delivered was SHOCKED when JESUS told him "if I came today to take my Bride...I WOULD NOT TAKE YOU."





This is a life changing testimony. Is the church in danger of God's wrath? God has called us unto Holiness. Therefore, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14). The Lord has appointed a time when He will return for the church, His Bride.

"The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent" (2Pet. 3:9).

Let us pray; Lord, protect me from myself, let me not be wise in my own eyes. Help me to lay my all on the altar of sacrifice. Teach me to die to self and sin everyday as I allow Christ to dwell in me, for I'm weak and I'm nothing without you. But with the Holy Spirit alive in me I'm strong.

Lord, Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Take my moments and my days; Let them flow in endless praise. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my voice and let me sing, always, only for my King. Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use every power as Thou shalt choose. Take my will and make it thine, It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own, it shall be Thy royal throne. Take my love, my Lord; I pour at Thy feet its treasure store. Take myself and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.

My life and my love You hold in Your hand and I'll gladly devote and enjoy Your command. Now, I know it's not much Your gift to repay but it’s all that I got and it's all I can say.

I'm Yours Lord Everything I got everything I am everything I'm not. I'm Yours Lord Try me now and see, See if I can be completely Yours. Yes Lord, I am completely yours. Amen.

A Tribute To A Yielded Life

Born in 1907 near the town of Concordia, Missouri, into a Baptist family; and converted in a revival in 1921, she attended a Christian and Missionary Alliance Bible College in Washington. She became involved in ministry at the age of sixteen when she left to assist her sister and brother-in-law in the Rocky Mountain States.

Soon thereafter, she went on her own; being itinerant in Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, before finally settling down in Denver in 1933. By 1935 she had built the 2,000 seat Denver Revival Tabernacle, and effectively used the media to establish an influential radio ministry.

In 1946 in Franklin, Pennsylvania, a woman was miraculously healed of a tumor during one of her services. This further developed as a characteristic phenomenon at the services, as she would call out the specific disorder that was being cured in a certain area of the auditorium; and received the appropriate acknowledgment by the individual.

Although she never emphasized healing as part of her ministry, reports of miraculous healings emerged from these meetings which lead her to recognize that the Holy Spirit was present and actively working in the lives of believers in these services.

In 1948 she moved to Pittsburgh, which eventually became her headquarters, and regularly held services in Carnegie Hall and the First Presbyterian Church; and again, developed a daily radio ministry. However, it was a seven-page article in Redbook Magazine (1950) that brought the "Miracle Woman" into the spotlight and transitioned her to national fame.

This woman of God was an incessant worker for the Lord, giving meticulous attention to every detail of her services; ensuring that everything was unparalleled in its execution. This is Kathryn Kuhlman, "A Tribute to a Yielded Life."






"There never was a more ordinary woman than the one standing before you," she tells her audiences in a quiet, dramatic voice. "I have nothing, nothing to do with these healing. I have only yielded my life to Him. Do not try to reach out and touch Kathryn Kuhlman. Reach up and touch Him (Jesus)." - Kathryn Kuhlman

A Journey Called LIFE!

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed this warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray... Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose." So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap... Alone...

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a venomous snake whose tail was caught in the trap.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home she still had a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup. 

So the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient: But his wife's sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

But, alas, the farmer's wife did not get well... She died.

So, many people came for her funeral and the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them for the funeral luncheon. But the mouse watched it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

Therefore, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and you think it doesn't concern you, remember --- When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for each other and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

Consider this; YOU MAY WANT TO SEND THIS LINK TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT... AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.

Remember, each of us is a vital thread in another person's tapestry. God made us to be our brother's keeper.
