The Dicus Family

O, Lord God, put a hedge of thorns and build a wall of stone around my family, so Satan cannot over take them. Post Your holy Angels all around them keeping them safe- Keep them in the palm of Your right hand, in righteousness and in justice, in loving kindness and in compassion; and may they know You as their Lord and Savior. May they come before You on trembling knees in repentance and be restored to Your house once again.

 

As a family may we listen to Your voice, Your Word and be obedient -make us prayer warriors for our family and for our Nation and for Israel. Let us not find fault with one another, but instead, lift up our brothers and sisters in love and prayer in forgiveness.

 

May those who have abandoned You return to You, may those who are lost find You and then O Lord, heal this family and seal us with Your love and tie us with cords of love that neither man nor Satan can untie.

 

Father, bless my family coming in and their going out. Bless us with Your love and Your peace. Bless them indeed, and enlarge their territories, keeping them from the evil one so we may not bring harm to anyone.

 

Be the wind that fills our sails, moving us forward into our life’s journey into Your heart. Be the light that shines brightly over all our ways, guiding us wisely and tenderly so we may live fully and completely in Your will.

 

“By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are visible. (Hebrews 11:3)

 

May we live with You in each moment of the day being aware of Your presence radiating within us- enliven us with life, guiding us with Your divine wisdom, and caring for us with unconditional love. May You, O God, be the center of calm and peace in our lives.

 

O God, may Your love heal and protect us from the emotional stress of our past and future. May we rely on the Holy Spirit who indwells us for strength at any time and in any situation into the realm of Your peace.

 

May we feel the blessed assurance of being cared for and protected and may we find refuge under the shelter of Your wings.

 

May we, as elders of the family, serve as positive role models by acting responsibly and lovingly serving by example and by living in the light of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

 

Father, may today be a new beginning for my family, may they continue to be assured of Your love and Your forgiveness. May they know Your love is an everlasting love and it has no boundaries. May we trust and accept it, for You are the God who soothes and melts away the doubt and fears in the healing glow of Your presence and love. “The creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.” (Romans 8:21)

We are Your children and You have set us free of all bondage -may we continue to stand firm on Your Word -it will not return to us void until it accomplishes what You said it will do.

 

Thank You, Lord for being the keeper of the keys to Your blessing upon my family —we step forward to accept the keys that opens the door to Your heart. Hallelujah! We give You praise and glory. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Abba Father, take away all iniquity and receive me graciously. Move into my life and bring me Your mind, then I will be able to think with Your mind, operate in Your will and pray that prayer that You desire me to pray. I desperately need to know the doctrine of my prayer should be Yours; my word, Your Words, my attitudes, Your attitudes; my life, Your life, my mind, Your mind; as commanded by Your Word.

 

O God, let me not pray until I pray Your words; let me not speak until I speak Your voice; I render; I give over to You the calves of my lips; give me Your will, Your intercession, Your position from the Word of God. I agree with it.

 

Break me, purge me. I want to come to the place where my desire is for You to consume me. “Take with You words and turn to the Lord, and say unto Him, ‘Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously. So will I render the calves of my lips.”  O send Your heavenly angel with a coal from the Altar of Incense and touch theses unclean lips of mine, O God! Purge me to be come Your instrument—–a vessel, Your maidservant.

 

Father I want to become so yielded to You that Your mind becomes my mind, Your ways, my ways-I want to be led! “ And be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is good and acceptable, and perfect will of God.”

 

Cover my mind, O God with Yours. Holy Spirit consume me completely, move from within, to cover me without, that You might be the lamp unto my feet and that You might be my attitude, my thoughts as I dwell on things above.

Father, I am willing to hear fully what You want to say to me. I want to be a deliberate listener with the intentions of judging Your Word to be true; then applying it to my life. Help me, O God to put away my own thoughts or interests, so I can hear what You are saying to me. Help me to apply Your biblical meanings of “hearing” to my life in order to reap the benefits of truly hearing Your voice. Help me, my Father, to master the gift of truly hearing so I may enjoy a relationship with You. “Be still and know that I am God.” (Ps 46:10)

 

Help me, my Father to cultivate the quietness of waiting on You and meditating on Your Word. Open my understanding to the truth of Your Word. “Unto Thee will I cry, ‘O Lord my rock; be not silent to me.” (Ps 28:1)

 

Father, many sincere believers have erred in their interpretation of the scriptures and have preached error as truth, bringing harm to the body of Christ. Help me, to be sensitive and discerning to Your voice as well as submissive to other men & women of God, who can confirm or correct my revelations. “Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses” (2 Corinthians. 13:1)

 

O Abba Father, help me to always remember Your messages to me. Write them on the tablets of my heart, before the enemy tries to defeat me by causing me to forget Your words. Thank You for the wonderful way You have changed me, as You revealed Yourself through Your Word. “But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting…to those who keep His covenant, and who remembers His precepts to do them. (Ps 103: 17-18)

 

Abba Father, I want to go behind the second veil into the Holiest of All, the Holies of Holies. I want to be in Your manifested presence.

 

I rejoice over the word All- I praise my Lord Jesus and I thank Him for Calvary-My Lord entered the Most Holy Place once for all. The work has been completed. Praise the Lord! I can enter into the Holies of Holies without fear of death, through the blood of Jesus and His righteousness. By His sacrifice I have obtained eternal redemption. The Powerful blood of Jesus cleanses my inward sins through His eternal Spirit- Hallelujah! His blood cleanses my conscience from dead works to serve the Living God. Thank You, Jesus.

 

Father, I pray for an open ear, to be ready at all time to hear Your instructions and obey them instantly. Like the Hebrew slave whose ear was bored with an awl to the door of his master, a sign he willingly indentured himself to his master forever. I too want to be indentured to my Master, Jesus. “...1 delight to do Your will 0 God, and Your Law is written within my heart.”

 

I thank You, Jesus that I have been perfected in a twofold sense. First, I have perfect standing before the Father, as I can come before Him through Your shed blood and righteousness. Second, I have perfect conscience as far as the guilt penalty of sin is concerned-the price has been paid in full and the Father will not demand payment a second time. Hallelujah! I give you praise and glory!

 

Praise God the Holy Spirit also witnesses to the fact that under the New Covenant my sins have been effectively dealt with once and for all He witnesses to me through the Old Testament Scriptures-”... .the Lord promised to make a New Covenant with His chosen people.” ‘There sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31: 31-34

 

I am told in the Scriptures that I am now a priest, because I am told to have boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus. I can enter and come into Your presence by faith at any time and from any place on earth.

 

Through the veil, You bid me enter-there with Christ I may meet the Father upon the mercy seat! Praise be to God. There I will come and adore You, Christ the First fruits unto God-For Your own precious blood had washed me once for all. I am cleansed in the eyes of God the Father. I love to look up and behold You there; the Lamb of God-Your reign is forever. You are worthy of homage and praise. Worthy to be adored and praised. You add Your sweet perfume to all my prayers and praises-I sing-Yes I will sing praises to my King as I enter into Your Holy of Holies. Amen!

Father, I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness. I have a deep desire for a personal righteousness, which is in itself proof of my spiritual rebirth. Father, I am poor and empty in my own spiritual poverty and I recognize the depth of my need and I hunger and thirst for that which only You can give me. Your Word says that You will supply my every spiritual need daily. This act of hungering and thirsting after righteousness is the by product of a regenerated life. “He satisfies the longing soul and fill the hungry soul with goodness.” (Psalms 107:9) Your Word says, You will satisfy my hunger now, and it will continue to come throughout eternity as long as I hunger and thirst after it.

 

I praise You for Your divine love that has been extended to me, and I have the work of the Holy Spirit in me producing a mercy, which defies explanation by unregenerate men. Jesus became my ultimate example of this when He cried from the cross, “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do!” (Luke 23:43) As a believer I do not show mercy in order to obtain mercy; I show mercy because I have obtained mercy. My life has been transformed by Your grace. I have the new birth, saving faith, and holiness. Purity of heart is both the end of my election and the goal of my redemption. ‘He chose us. . . that we should be holy,” (Eph. 1:4) “who gave Himself for us, that He might redeems us... and purify for Himself His own special people.” (Titus 2:14)

 

I am at peace with You, and I live in peace with man as Your Word commands. I have entered into the peace of Your Son and I am thus an ambassador for You; to bring a message of peace to a troubled world.

 

Father I pray that I will always reflect the light of Your Son, for He is “The Light of the world. As long as I behold the glory of the Lord, I shall reflect Your light. I pray that nothing will come between Your Light and me as I seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
