 PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

WE DECREE AND DECLARE WE SHALL OVERCOME - THIS TOO WILL PASS

 

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 

“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.

Job 22:28

 

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Look! Gods dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything new!” Then he said, Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 

Revelations 21:3-6

 

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.

Psalm 46:1-2

 

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the Glory of God?”

John, 11:40

 

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you, He will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.

Deuteronomy 31:8

 

Lord teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12

 

Prayer:
Father, thank You for the opportunity to come in Your Presence and Pray as a Community of Unified Body of Believers being of One mind and on One Accord.  Thank you for tuning Your ears to hear our hearts and prayers. Father we ask right now in the Name of Jesus, to forgive us of our sins of commission and our sins of omission. Father we thank You that Your Grace and Mercy for us are new every day. Thank you for waking us up this morning in our right minds. Father, Thank You that this pandemic will not get the best of us! Because with You on our side we WIN and the Best is Yet to Come!  Father, we don’t ever want to take for granted your Endless Blessings over our lives. Hallowed be Your Name! The Name that is above all names, We Honor and Adore You! Elohim God our Creator, EL Shaddai God Almighty! Jehovah Jireh, Our Provider, Jehovah, Rapha our Healer, Jehovah Nissi our Banner! Jehovah Tsidkenu The Lord Our Righteousness! You are Adonai The Exalted One! Help us to trust You and be confident that You have our life in Your Hand! Lord, You said in your word that, blessed are those who hunger and thirst after You! For they will be filled. On Christ the solid Rock, we stand, all other ground is sinking sand!  

 

We decree and declare VICTORY during this time, PEACE during this time, A NEW LEVEL OF ANOINTING, during this time, HEALING during this time POWER and GREAT BREAKTHROUGH in our lives! We are More than Conquerors! What a gift it is! In the middle of this uncertain season, YOUR WORD STILL REMAINS! You are the only stronghold we need. We look to You instead of the world for guidance today, Father, You are our Light and Our Salvation and we will not fear! We will Trust in You! We will Remain Confident that we Will see Your Goodness during this time and after this time! Your word say’s, in Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall, I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?  You also said in your word, John 14: 13-14 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Father we Call on You and we ask for wisdom, guidance and direction as we strive to make the right decision as parents concerning our children going back to school. Father we ask in the Name of Jesus that you be a hedge of protection over our children, parents, administrators, teachers, librarians, school nurses, school psychologist and counselors.  NO SICKNESS OR DISEASE shall Come Near Them! Cover them with THE BLOOD!! We pray for their health and safety as classrooms and schools have been modified to allow for proper social distancing and hygiene. We pray for the janitorial staff and cafeteria workers, as well as the office staff who are essential employees at schools, we pray that you would keep them safe and protected from the virus.  Lord, cover and protect the families of the students and teachers as they return home each day. Father, we pray in the Name of Jesus that this COVID-19 virus goes back to the pit of hell where it came from. Your word says, in Psalms 103:3He forgives all our sins, and heals all our disease. Father we pray for energy and rest for the students, so that they may be able to learn and keep up with their lesson. We pray in The Name of Jesus, that teachers would be able to plan their lessonand effectively teach all their students.

Father God, we pray for the students who will be doing school virtually from homewe pray that they have the resources they need to do schoolwork at home. And we pray for their parents that they would be able to balance work and watch over their children as they try to be disciplined in live classroom time and the recorded lessons as well as any additional homework. We pray for the teachers who have to switch to online learning formats that they would be able to have the resources and technology training they need. Please give the administrators, teachers, students, and parents the patience they need for this new type of schooling that they could all work together to accomplish what needs to be done. We pray for kind reactions and gratitude for the work that is still able to be done. Thank You that You are sovereign over all things. Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. NOTHING is too hard for you.”

We know this will be a challenging school year for students, teachers, and parents with many adjustments. Father God, please settle all the hearts that are worrying right now and bring peace to the hearts that are restless or fearful about the future.  Holy Spirit we Need You to remind them that they can depend on You for all things through all circumstances. Help them to remember that they are not alone, You are their Comforter. John 14:16-18, And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever, The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for he lives in you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans: I will come to you.

Father, we ask that You bless them with godly friends and teachers, who care about their futures and seek to encourage them in their choices and options. We pray that they would draw closer to you in this uncertain time, and we pray that they would seek Your purpose in all that they do. And Father, we certainly don’t want to forget about our College Students. Lord, we pray for the many college students returning to colleges and universities across the country whether in person or virtually. We know these students are trying to get and education/degrees so that they can become productive citizens in the workforce and support themselves. Holy Spirit, we ask that You grant these college-students the self-discipline to complete their classwork in the classroom and through virtual means and safety when they come in contact with other students for study or community. We pray that they would not disregard precautions. We pray that you take away any fear that that they may have, Father, instead we pray that they would be hopeful about the future and that they would be content with what they currently have and the positive direction they are headed. Not only does this cause stress and fear over the future for them but it can cause stress for parents as well, especially financially. Father we pray in the Name of Jesus that You reassure them of your presence and peace. Remind them through Your Word that though things may not go the way we plan or even hope, there is purpose in everything because You are sovereign over everything and you will work it all out for their good. Romans 8: 28, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Help us to rely on You for all of our concerns, whether they are financial, academic, spiritual, or other. 

Open our eyes to the needs of the world around us. Bless, strengthen, heal and keep OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS, OUR GROCERY STORE ATTENDANTS, THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN, OUR MAIL-CARRIERS, OUR TRANSPORTATION DRIVERS, THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY and their families. Continue to give us a burden for lost souls.  Lord continue to cover and bless Bishop and First Lady and the anointing on their lives. Continue to Increase Their Anointing, Faith and Confidence and they may walk Boldly in their ministry. Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 That those deeper things of God be revealed to Him and First Lady by the Holy Spirit. We pray that their teaching and preaching will be effective, powerful, clear and totally life changing in Jesus Name! 1stCorinthians 2:10 That they will continue to Trust in the Lord with all their heart and lean not to their own understanding; and in all their ways they will acknowledge HIM and HE will continue to direct lead and guide their paths.Proverbs 3:5-6 Bless every Elder, Minister, LCP; and make us one. Lead and guide us, as we continue to do Your Work!  And Lord we lift up the world leaders that they may have hearts and ears attentive to Godly counsel.  Lord God Almighty, You are still on Your throne. There is nothing that evades Your sovereignty. In You we put our trust. Thank You for your powerful words from Revelation 21. Thank You for makingeverything new. We come to You, now, and drink from the water of life, the life of Your Word. In the wonderful Name of Jesus,we pray, IT IS SO AMEN!
