Thankful

My Prayer Today

Dear Lord,

Thank you for all things.Even when I don't understand or cannot see my way. Thank you for lighting up my darkness and making a way where there is no way. Do a new thing in my life Lord. You know I am desperate for you and I need water from a rock. Thank you for providing for me, your child. I know You have gone ahead of me and already put the ram in the bush. You know me, You have my name engraved on the palms of your Hands, and today Lord, I am grateful. Thank you Daddy!

Love,

Your child

Prophetic Fire: The Tree of Rejection - with diagram of tree

THE TREE OF REJECTION   

(image source: http://www.propheticfire.co.za/2013/03/the-tree-of-rejection.html)

Many of us go through life feeling worthless, not good enough or worthy. This tree picture was very helpful for me. Those feelings of depression and despair came through my fear of rejection.  I had to deal with the root to be healed. It helped my understand why I was getting the fruit of despair again and again in my life. I searched out healing in this area. Here is what I found by Derek Prince.

Scripture Verses

Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] (Hebrews 13:5-8 AMP)


The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],
To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound]. (Hebrews 13:5-8 AMP)

Remember the Good

Maybe I'm just getting older. idk. But I am finding I have a choice to make. I can remember the good, or I can remember the bad. This is true with every person I have ever met.  It is true with every situation I have been through.

I see many elderly people happy, and many elderly people sad.  I wonder if what you think about affects how you look at yourself and the world around you.  According to this scripture a 'merry' heart does good and is like medicine. It heals, it helps, it grows.

 

Philippians 4:8-9 The Message (MSG)

 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

You really are what you think about. Start to declare and decree what God says about you instead of what you feel.  Don't let feelings be your god.  God says you are wonderfully and perfectly made. You are precious, more precious than silver or gold. God says you are the apple of His eye, and you are chosen by Him - out of all the people of the earth.  He has plans for you - for prosperity and a future, to do good and not harm to you. You have value, even the very hairs of your head are numbered.  And He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are not alone - ever!  Thank you Jesus!

I have seen people be healed from cancer. I have seen depression and headaches leave. I have seen people delivered and healed. I have seen the impossible become possible - all because someone prayed to Jesus Christ - King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  He is above all and in all and through all - have you released someone from prision or bondage with your prayers today?

Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.

And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out.   (Ephesians 6:13-20 MSG)
