Oh Lord, I come to You now and sit at Your feet. May Your presence come into my life and speak to the inner parts of my soul. Help me to sit down awhile and take in everything that You would wish to counsel me in. I do not wish to be defiant or do my own things any longer, but be Your willing servant. You are what I need in my life, Lord, and the joy that You have to offer me is what is the most fulfilling. I don’t need the luxuries of this world to find happiness, for doing Your will is what makes me the happiest person alive. You are so great in the heavens and earth, and I am so blessed to have You my life. I am amazed that the God of Abraham wants to be a part of my life. There is no one like Your kingdom, for You, my King is great and should be honored and praised, over all people on the earth and heavens above. May Your Name be lifted up high. Whatever You have for my life, be it unto me according to Your will. I am so much better off when I trust in You, and not my own desires. Even my beliefs have meaning when they are built upon Your Words in the Bible and on prayer. What You have spoken is all I need to find peace and direction in this life and the next. Thank You for coming down, Jesus, and redeeming Your people, and even Your adopted children from our sins. We may not be Jewish or be of the Israelite seed but are blessed to know that You died for our sins on the cross. This is the greatest sacrifice for mankind, and I am grateful to be forgiven of my sins. I have freedom from sin, because of what You have done. Your mercy endures forever, and I am so grateful it is for me. I love You, Lord. All the praise and glory to Your Name. Amen.

1 Chronicles 17:16-18
1 Chronicles 17:16-18 (KJV)
16 And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

Today’s Prayer (02/28/2020)
Oh Lord, thank You for this great life that You have prepared for me, even from the foundation of the world. You knew I would be living in darkness while seeking all the wrong things until I found You, but You never gave up hope in me. So many times did You come and convict me of my sins, in order to draw me unto You in repentance. I just didn’t listen and obey. In my early years, I was very defiant and reckless in my bad choices, because of the lusts of the flesh, but You continued to come after me anyways. Not once did You stop believing in the person I could become. I just needed to stop and believe in You. And so I finally listened and poured out my heart to You in prayer. In my confessions, the guilt was no longer hanging over me, but only Your love was there. I may have distanced myself from You, but in this moment You were drawn near to me, and my life has never been the same again. That one prayer has changed everything about how I live my life. Because You were there for me then, I knew that You would be with me now and forever. I don’t have to worry about having the guidance, and counsel that I need, for You deliver it to me daily. In prayer, You have spoken to me and breathed into me new life. If I am different, it is because the Holy Spirit is in me now, which is the comforter. Thank You, Lord. I give You glory and praise. I sing out to You and give You thanks because of Your mercy and grace. You are so good to me, God. I love You with all my heart, mind, and strength. I am strengthened, because of Your love in my life. It is a pleasure to offer You my life. What I do with my time now is to serve You and to proclaim the Name of Jesus to the world. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (02/27/2020)
Oh Lord, I love You. You are worthy of my praise and worship. I honor You this day in my song to You Lord. I sing to Your great Name, God. I exact You, Lord. Because You are in my life, I am so happy. There is so much joy in my life, and it is all because of You, and what You have done for me, God. Thank You for hearing my prayers and for sending down upon me Your bounteous blessings. I have never deserved so much love and affection that You have demonstrated towards me, but You saw potential in me that no one else could. I was so lost within the world and seeking the pleasures of the flesh when You found me. Lust had taken me down and in my sins, I cried out to You in my confessions. I was so distraught when Your presence came over me and gave me hope. I never knew what this mercy could be like until I experienced it for the first time in that hour. You have come and changed my life. I am not the same person anymore, for You are with me now. My Savior has come and I have been redeemed. Thank You for Your mercy. Thank You for forgiving me of all my sins. It is because of Your blood, Lord, that You shed for us on the cross, that my sins are washed away. How precious is this gift of grace, and I will never take it for granted again. If I fall, I will repent and run back into Your arms. I know that You are a compassionate God, who cares deeply for my life. Don’t let the enemy take me down, but keep my eyes fashioned upon the cross. Then, will I know You, Jesus, that You are my Savior and my King. You came down to rescue me, and I am so grateful. I give You the glory and the praise. With all my love, I sing to You now with anthems of praise. Amen.
1 Chronicles 15:27-29
1 Chronicles 15:27-29 (KJV)
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.
28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

Today’s Prayer (02/26/2020)
Oh Lord, help us fight the enemy. Don’t allow the enemy to take control of our lives any longer, but cast every evil force to be far from us. We do not wish to have any more demonic forces to have hold of our lives, but to be drawn to You instead. So cast out any evil spirits from us now, in Your mighty Name, Jesus. I call upon You now to lead us to safety and to destroy the enemy in our lives. Help us come out of a life of sin, that we may do more than say we love and believe in You, but also keep Your commandments. I know that if I am not able to resist temptation, I am unable to do this, but when the Holy Spirit is present, I can do all things. So I ask that Your presence will fall upon us now, Lord, as we pray this. We admit that we are a sinner and confess our sins openly to You now. We desire to have Your blood to cover us and wash us clean. It is our prayer that You will also come into our lives fully. Help us no longer be pulled into different directions while falling into different addictions and bad habits. Instead, lead us by the hand. Fill us up with fruits of the Spirit, that we may be a servant for Your kingdom instead of the flesh. The world only wants to deceive us into thinking that having pleasure in lust is ok, but Satan is a liar, and we pray that You will cast Him out of our lives once and for all. We do not wish to be a servant to sin, but a servant for You, God. You are our delight and not what the world offers. You are God and we worship You, Jesus. We need You, Lord, every day of our lives. Be near us, and don’t let us fall victim to the enemy. Build us up with Your armor and we will come out victorious. I love You, Lord. All I want to do Is do Your will. So lead me on the path of righteousness. Amen.

10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

Today’s Prayer (02/25/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that Church Leaders, Pastors and Elders will repent if they are currently making a mockery of You in their church building. What they need to realize is that although they may own their church and such, it does not give them the right to bring in worldly things into their church and still say they are for You. These people need to realize that church is not about appealing to young people who are of the world. Therefore, I pray that if there is anything happening like worship leaders and pastors wearing NFL Jerseys or hats, singing worldly songs, or adding things added to their message that mention worldly movies and actors, that they will see the great sin in all of this and repent. My heart is saddened to have to leave a church that once served You, but has now fallen into doing the things I just mentioned above. For the longest time, Lord, did I feel the Holy Spirit in this church, but it has all been sucked out and replaced with the world. So I pray that You will speak to these church leaders and others at different churches. May their appeal be to bring people of all ages to church to find Jesus in their lives, and not to teach or sing anything that is worldly. Oh, how Satan wants to make churches appear like they are for You, but really they are far from You. Men and women of God can see through the masquerade that is happening in churches today, for the Holy Spirit is in us. Thank You for filling us God and leading us to good churches, where people are truly for You in how they act, and not against You. I love You, Lord. Continue to lead me and my family in Your ways. Amen.
1 Chronicles 13:8-10
1 Chronicles 13:8-10 (KJV)
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
Today’s Inspiration (02/25/2020)

Making A Mockery Of God In Church
What I just mentioned here is an example of playing with the things of God and making a mockery of it.
Today’s Prayer (02/24/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people of all ages will see that I am for You. May they come to know how much I love and honor You with all my heart, mind, and soul. This isn’t just a belief that I can simply respond yes to when asked if I am a Christian, for I know that it would disrespect You if my heart was not truly for You, Lord. I know that even the devil and his demons know You and tremble. Therefore, if I say anything about You, it is genuine. To dishonor my king would bring dishonor upon me also. Therefore, I pray that people will see something different about me. May they not just think that I am for You by how I talk, but how I love and respect them. I pray that every person that comes to me peaceably, You will also bless, for it is in honor of You also. But I know that people that come to only combat me and to try to test my faith are Your enemies, of which there is no peace. These people are rebuked, for they not only trample upon what we believe in, but what You have done for our lives also. It is my prayer that such people that are hard-hearted and aren’t willing to hear You, will have the fear of God in their lives. Then will they know the destructive path they are on. Even some may repent and come to know You before it is too late. I do not wish to see any person I’ve known and talked with be thrown into the lake of fire, but be saved and go to heaven. You are our God, so speak life into those people that are ready to listen. Help me reach them with the gospel message. Thank You for using me for Your kingdom. I Believe In You. I trust in You. I love You, God. Amen.
1 Chronicles 12:16-18
1 Chronicles 12:16-18 (KJV)
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

Today’s Prayer (02/23/2020)
Oh Lord, come into our lives and feed us every day that we have breath. Lead us from temptation and into Your love. We desire to know You greater and to have You with us always. With communion, we humbly come to the table and eat Your flesh and remember everything that You did while on this earth. We drink Your blood and remember what You did for mankind on the cross. You carried our sins, that we don’t have to suffer for them in judgment. Thank You, Jesus. It is amazing to have this knowledge bestowed upon us. I have hope because You are the bread that came down from heaven. Therefore, my soul is fed and I am not left thirsty, because You are in me. It is my prayer that I will live this life worthy of Your presence and never take communion unworthily. So please keep me on the straight and narrow path. Don’t allow evil influences in my life. I do not wish to have any distractions, but have a mind that is sober and fixed on what is needed for Your kingdom to grow. I know that You have a special plan for my life, and I only wish to fulfill Your wishes. So if I am doing anything now that goes against Your will, make it known to me. I wish to have every evil thing ripped out of my heart and soul, that I may serve my King with honor and respect. You are my God and I worship You. I don’t need earthly pleasures to be happy, but only the peace and love that You can offer me. I am joyful, because You have a hand in my life, and not what I can do on my own. I love You, Lord. To remember You in communion and during the week is all I want to do. Amen.
John 6:53,54
John 6:53,54 (KJV)
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

Israel Was Fed By David, But Lastly By Jesus
The best part of our journey in life begins when we believe in Jesus. This is when we understand what Jesus did for us on the cross and we allow Him to cleanse us of all our sins.
Today’s Prayer (02/22/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will continue to look to You in faith and not go off track. I know how the enemy wants to take us down the paths of destruction. His ways seem right on the outside but are always evil on the inside. If people could just see through what he is presenting and think upon it instead, then they would know that it goes against Your will. Now, if they had not known what the Bible says or have not been brought up in the faith, they may be walking in darkness and not even know it. So, Lord, we have two types of people, that as Christians we need to reach. We have people that have read the Bible but are now willfully living in their sins. Their conscience is seared, but they mask their guilt with more pleasure in the world. We also have those that don’t know what You approve and dislike. So we need to make this known to them while showing them respect and love also. This will help them get onto Your path, oh Lord. So, breathe upon every person that truly loves You the Holy Spirit. Help us be a light unto the world. May people understand that after death comes judgment. This can either be a wonderful time before You, Lord, or a fearful time. If people die in their sinful state, they will struggle to know what to say to You. They may try to justify their life before You, but really, having willfully sinned against You in death, there is no more forgiveness. Therefore, I pray that people will wake up to their sinful state and repent. May more people be covered by Your blood and no longer do things that displease You, but do Your will instead. I love You, Lord. Amen.
1 Chronicles 10:13,14
1 Chronicles 10:13,14 (KJV)
13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
14 And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
Today’s Inspiration (02/22/2020)
Repent of any willful sins in your life. Don’t put this off, for you do not know the time or day of your death or Jesus’s coming.
