Battlefield Letters From Home

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father!

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” - 2 Corinthians 10:5

Lord, I lift my friend before You.  The circumstances of their life and the condition of the world can feel so overwhelming.  The intensity of the battle feels to be heating up.  Lord, strengthen and comfort them to be able to stand firm and walk by faith.  Prevent their feet from stumbling and their heart from straying.  Tune their ears to hear Your voice above the din.  May the Word of God they have purposed to hide in their heart be a source of strength in this season, that they wouldn’t have to muster up more energy or courage, but that Your Word within them would arise and come to life, providing the necessary added strength and comfort they need to remain strong in their faith.  May every reading of Your Word be as a strengthening letter from home while on the battlefield.  Show them when the enemy is attempting to feed them poisonous morsels of discontentment and bitterness seductively wrapped in the saccharine sweetness of imitation comfort.  Help them to remain wise as serpents and innocent as doves, rejecting every bait and  snare designed to trap and wound them.  Instead, strengthen them to walk with sureness of foot, gracefully and unwaveringly, in supernatural peace, strength and integrity.  

Walk with them again today.  Thank You that they walk today and every day with You as their constant companion.  Be their good shepherd.  Minister healing to their wounds and anoint their heads with oil, dispelling every thought that attempts to steal their peace.  As they submit to You, turn the tables for them, that they may take captive and master the very things that the enemy designed to imprison them.  Provide for their every need, dear Father, and go before them on Your good path of blessing.  In Jesus Name ❤️

A City On A Hill

A CITY ON A HILL By:  Julie Souza Bradley Lilly “You are light for the world. A city cannot be hidden when it is located on a hill. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Instead, everyone who lights a lamp puts it on a lamp stand. Then its light shines on everyone in the house.” – Matthew‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭GW‬‬ And I saw thousands of souls struggling in a churning sea.  Under the darkness of a moonless sky, without a boat, they were tossed.  Beneath them sharks swam, nipping at heels, eliciting sharp cries from those who flailed.  It caused them to cling to their neighbor, pushing them to submerge, sputter and gasp.  Exhaustion, chaos and hopelessness hovered over the waters like a mist, obscuring the small points of light that seeped out from around the boarded windows of the nearby city on a hill.  The city on a hill—a beacon of hope to those drowning, contained behind windows shuttered with fear. Lord, we see chaos all around us —man’s inhumanity to man— fear, anxiet

Paul’s Handkerchief Prayer

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father! “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” - Deuteronomy 31:6 Lord, we don’t have to be the only one in a room to feel alone.  We can be in a coliseum full of people and still feel lonely.  We feel alone in our skin.  You encourage us to not forsake meeting together as a church (Hebrews 10:25), but it is the internal companionship that keeps us from feeling loneliness in that packed coliseum. Father, I lift my friend.  Your Word says that where two or more are gathered in Your Name, You are there in the midst of them.  So Lord, as in Acts 19:12 when Paul sent a blessed handkerchief to the sick and they were healed, likewise, across time and space I take hands with Your precious child.  Together we bow before You and admit we need You.  We invite Your presence.  If they feel lonely or alone today, in their life or in

Beauty Among the Ashes

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father!   “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that   I would see the goodness of the Lord in  the land of the living.   Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,   And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” - Psalm 27:13-14 Father, we thank You that with You all things are possible.  All around us there are financial troubles, poverty, disease, depression, anxiety, divorces, confusion, disappointment, illness, loss, pain and grief.  The list goes on and on.  People are suffering, Father, and are clinging to the last vestiges of hope.   Lord, I lift up my friend.  You know precisely what weighs on their mind today, and which troubling thoughts strike fear in their heart.  Long seasons of struggle bring with them weariness and discouragement.  I cry out to You on their behalf, Lord.  You are able.  We ask for miracles.  Nothing is too difficult for You.  We ask that You take what the enemy intended for evil
