Abba
Father, I pray that I
will be useful in Your hands, and ask you to enable me to
understand what is taking place in my life and in the lives of
others. Father, I want to be a partaker of Christ’s suffering.
I want to be prepared for You to stamp out my personal
ambitions in order to serve You. Father; destroy my individual
decisions by supernaturally transforming them.
Father, I want a closer personal intimacy with
My Lord Jesus. Continue to attract and draw me into His
intimate possession. “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the
Christ…” (John 11:27) Father, Your word says, “to believe is
to commit.” In the area of intellectual learning I commit
myself mentally, and reject anything not related to that
belief. In the realm of personal belief I commit myself
morally to my convictions and refuse to compromise. But in
intimate personal belief I commit myself spiritually to Jesus
Christ. And make a determination to be dominated by Him
alone. Hallelujah!
Father Your Word says, “ Death and life are in
the power of the tongue and they who indulge in it shall eat
the fruit of it for death or life.” Proverbs 18:21. I pray my
tongue will bring forth life not death.
What awesome power-like fire or electricity or
nuclear energy right under my nose, one that produces life or
death, depending on how I utilize it. Father, I pray that I
will use my tongue for good, not evil, for great benefit, not
harm, that I will speak life and health, not death and
destruction.
Father like a soaring eagle I will take a
stand, keep my word, honor and commit to live a holy life
before You. Sometimes Father its hard to maintain control of
my mouth to be positive, to praise and glorify You when those
around me seem to be giving in to griping and complaining and
every other kind of negativism, but, I know I can do all
things through Your strength. You have given me the tongue of
a disciple and one who is taught, that I should know how to
speak a word in season and out of season. I am learning to
find my joy in You alone, for my joy isn’t found in my
circumstance but is found in You.
Father, Your Word says, gossip, judging,
criticism and faultfinding is disgusting to You, that it
disturbs You, that with the same mouth we use to bless and
praise You, we curse and condemn our fellow man, made in Your
image. O Father forgive me for all the times I’ve done that,
put a bridle on my tongue.
I thank You Lord that You look upon my heart
and count me perfect all the while I am on my way too becoming
perfect. O Lord keep my spirit from becoming poisoned by
listening to gossip.
Father help be to become a “Sweetheart” to my
husband. Help me to always be sweet, kind, nice and
encouraging to him. I thank You for my husband, Lord who loves
me as You loved the church.
Father, I thank You for Your word in Proverbs
18:4 “The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain
or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or
bear?” I thank You for the strong Spirit within me to help me
in those times of trouble. I pray that I will utilize my
strong Spirit by helping those who are weak in spirit, lifting
them up in intercessory prayer, encouraging, and strengthening
others by my very presence and personality through the love of
Jesus in me.
I thank You Lord that when I get discouraged
and down in the dumps I can always turn to You to find
strength to carry me forward. Hallelujah! I thank You for the
healing balm of Gilead that begins to drip down into my wounds
healing me. Thank you Holy Spirit, my Comforter for coming
alongside to comfort, encourage and urge me to press on and to
propel me forward.
Father I pray that I will be quick to hear, but
slow to speak, slow to take offense, and slow to get angry.
Help me O God to take a deep breath, shut my mouth for a
minute, and get control of myself when someone doesn’t do
things my way. Father, crucify the impatience in me, and help
me to accept what I cannot change with joy.
God speaks:
Child
My kingdom is not a matter of getting the food and drink one
likes, but instead it is righteousness, that state which makes
you acceptable to Me and a heart with peace and joy in the
Holy Spirit.
Serve Me in the way that is acceptable and
pleasing to Me and is approved by the Father. So definitely
aim for and eagerly pursue what makes for harmony and for
mutual up-building, edification and development of one
another. “Let us therefore follow after the things which can
make for peace and things wherewith one may edify another.”
Child, clothe yourself in My armor and walk in
peace. Strife grieves My Holy Spirit. When peace leaves the
Holy Spirit leaves and He is the One Who does the real work. If you want to be My ambassador your must be
more like Me. You need to hunger and thirst after peace
because it is in that area in which the evil one is stealing
from you.
Child, open your mouth with skillful and godly
Wisdom and your tongue will be the law of kindness, giving
counsel and instruction.
Child, no matter how right your heart may be
before Me, if you have pride or anger or resentment in your
spirit, you cannot open your mouth without expressing those
negative traits and emotions. Keep the hardness out of your
mouth, put in the law of kindness and gentleness, Take My yoke
upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart
and you will find rest and ease and refreshment and blessed
quiet for your soul. My yoke is wholesome, useful and
good-not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but, comfortable,
gracious and pleasant and My burden is light and easy to bear.
Submit to Me and My Holy Spirit will take command of your
tongue and bring it into submission to His will and Mine.
Child, the harvest of righteousness of
conformity to My will in thought and deed is sown in peace.
When you work for and make peace in yourself and in others,
then that peace which means concord, agreement and harmony
between you and others, will then set their mind free from
fear and agitating passions, and moral conflicts.
Child, in order for My word to take root, it
must be sown in a ground of peace. So if you plan to work for
Me, you need to get the strife out of your life. You have the
power to choose how you will react or respond to outward
situations and circumstances. Choose to act upon it rather
than to re-act to the circumstance. I have created you with a
free will and with the ability and freedom to make your own
decisions in life, choose you this day whom you will serve.
Child, let no foul or polluting language, no
evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of
your mouth; but only such speech as is good and beneficial to
the spiritual progress of others as is fitting to the need and
the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace, My
favor to those who hear it.
Child, depression of the human spirit is
another problem created and magnified by wrong thoughts and
words-your own and those of others. Do not use your mouth to
hurt, break down, or depress, but rather to heal, restore, and
uplift.
Because you are a child of mine, I want you to
magnify the good in life, in others and in yourself. Make Me
larger than all your problems by magnifying My Name to all
those around you. Child this does not mean I want you to
ignore problems and never deal with them, I just mean for you
to keep them in perspective. I am listening to see how you
handle yourself in all situations you encounter in this life.
Child, I have given you this message so you
will choose your mouth not to speak evil but to speak good. To
everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or
purpose under heaven… a time to keep silent and a time to
speak. Call upon My Wisdom to know when to speak and when not
to. But as a general rule, it always timely to exhort and
encourage others.
Press onward child toward the goals I have set
for you. Focus your attention on how far you still have to go
rather that how far you have come. Focus on your strengths and
not on your weaknesses, your victories, not on your problems.
Magnify My works not the works of Satan. Child exhort,
encourage and edify always, urge others to keep being all they
can be in Me and encourage them to keep straining forward
toward the prize.
Be positive in your thoughts, in your attitude,
in your outlook, in your words, and in your actions.
Child, if you do whatever I tell you to do and
cooperate with My Holy Spirit and follow His leadership and
guidance you will move from darkness to light, from negativism
to positivism, from death to life.
You are my priest because I have formed you into My kingdom a
royal race, to My God and Father—to Him be the glory and the
power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages
forever and ever. Amen and so be it. Shalom my child until we
come together again in prayer.
