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.

A Dead Battery

Last year, around the end of summer, our power-mower gave up the ghost. It was getting harder and harder to start every time I wanted to use it. So, I finally gave in to buying a new one. Bless her heart, my wife Sally told me if she didn’t have to pull that difficult, old starter-cord every time she wouldn’t mind helping me mow every once in a while. She even said it might be good exercise for her. This extra help with the yard work would be welcomed I thought. I went online checking out the outrageous prices of new lawnmowers; it had been four or five years since I bought our last one. Most of the retailers; Lowes, Home Depot,  WalMart and Sears were priced about the same, still way too much for me, but if I was going to get something Sally could start easily it would have to be one of the new key-start models where she didn’t have to pull a cord, she could just turn the key, like her car, and it would start right up. I bought one of these new models.They are great! Last week, an

We Rob God

Were God a greedy God He would expect ninety percent of our earnings leaving us the remaining ten to support our needs, He doesn’t though. Instead, He asks exactly the opposite of our potential, one tenth, a tithe. Have we excluded God out of our plans? Sure we have! Do we continue to exclude Him from what we want to believe is rightfully our world, our government, our lives? We not only exclude Him, we deny Him of what is rightfully His from the very beginning. Even worse, as a nation, a world, a people we deny He exist! We have declared He has no place in our government, our public buildings, and our schools. Pity us, it is no wonder we are under a curse as a nation with so much turmoil in our lives – we are robbing God. This is not a sermon, but wait, yes, it is! We are truly guilty of “me-ism.” We have become a world of “what about me?” Our insatiable greed has consumed us, so we have no choice but to continue feeding our monster, because it’s demanding more and more. Nothing is

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
