My Special Prayer


I pray for knowledge and understanding.

“Dear Jesus, I pray for Your special protection over my life, my wife, my home, and this ministry you have given me to reach out to a world that so desperately needs You. I choose to be only Your servant, ever-willing to serve You; always ready to obey Your voice. Your “belt of truth” guards me against Satan’s evil deceptions and his darkness. It is You who provides the beacon of light that gives me hope, and the ability to see more clearly what is the real truth. I pray the words of my mouth and the meditation of my mind will always be pleasing to You O Lord.

Father, pour me full of Your Word until I am running over. I want to feel full of Your Spirit down deep in my life. You are my heart's delight! I need to know Your will for my life.

Jesus, I am asking for your forgiveness when I fail You. Whenever I am not speaking Your truth quicken my knowledge, my understanding, according to Your will, so I may only speak what You would have me to speak for Your sake.

Holy Spirit, protect me from the lies of Satan so I may never deceive anyone. Allow me Your knowledge and understanding so that what I say and write always aligns with the Father’s will. May my words always convey what God, the Father reveals, and they always satisfy the divine benefit He intends for His people. Thank you Lord for choosing me, a sinner, to be in Your service. I am blessed. Amen.”

Suggested reading: The “belt of truth” is described in (Ephesians 6:14-16.) I hope you will take a moment to re-discover all the protections of this wonderful Scripture.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is none less

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
