Speaking Into Being

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father!

“He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” - Matthew 17:20.

Lord, usually this verse is referenced when we are being encouraged to speak about something good we pray will come into existence.  Today you are highlighting belief and the tongue.  Just as we can partner with You in speaking wonderful thing into being, if we are believing the lies of the enemy for bad things, we can also speak them into existence. Your Word says, “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,” - Matthew 12:36.  The tendency is to use far greater caution with our actions than with our words.  We can see the end product of actions, but we mistakenly believe that our words are just a vapor and they disappear.  Just as You spoke the world and everything in it into being, You have given us a gift of creation with our words as well.  We speak into being so many things.  Lord, help us to speak blessing, hope, health, joy and salvation into being.  Stop us short before we utter words of destruction, discouragement and calamity.  Remind us not not speak into existence the lies of the enemy, thus using our gift to create to fulfill his plans.

Lord, I lift my friend before You.  Quicken them before careless words come tumbling from their lips.  Remind them to bridle their tongue, not only against speaking gossip or untruth, but also unintentional curses upon themself and others.  Help them to put constraints on their thoughts according to Philippians 4:8.  Then, in thinking on things that are noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtue and praiseworthy—May these things be quick to flow from their lips - and in the believing and speaking they might come into being.

Bless them with a day of magnificent creation, stemming from both the work of their hands and words of their mouth.  May their lips, in recounting the pregnant truth of Your Word, give birth to life, hope and peace wherever they goes.  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
