If you are at a dark place in life, I pray that God in His infinite mercy will hasten to help you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Read and appropriate the following Psalms :
1). Psalm 88:1-3, 6-9, 13-18 AMPC
[1] O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried to You for help by day; at night I am in Your presence. [Luke 18:7.] [2] Let my prayer come before You and really enter into Your presence; incline Your ear to my cry! [3] For I am full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol (the place of the dead).
[6] You have laid me in the depths of the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. [7] Your wrath lies hard upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! [Ps. 42:7.] [8] You have put my [familiar] friends far from me; You have made me an abomination to them. I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. [9] My eye grows dim because of sorrow and affliction. Lord, I have called daily on You; I have spread forth my hands to You.]?
[13] But to You I cry, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer come to meet You. [14] Lord, why do You cast me off? Why do You hide Your face from me? [Matt. 27:46.] [15] I was afflicted and close to death from my youth up; while I suffer Your terrors I am distracted [I faint]. [16] Your fierce wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me. [17] They surround me like a flood all day long; together they have closed in upon me. [18] Lover and friend have You put far from me; my familiar friends are darkness and the grave.
2). Psalm 85:4-7 AMPC
[4] Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Your anger toward us to cease [forever]. [5] Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger [and disfavor] and spread it out to all generations? [6] Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? [7] Show us Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation.

Many are lost, and some have given up on God because of unbelief and frustrating circumstances.
Although it is the goodness/kindness of God that leads to repentance, we have a responsibility to lead both the lost and the backsliding brethren to God.
These two categories of humans are everywhere- in your neighborhood, work and recreation places, hospitals, etc.
You do not need to Memorize your Bible from Genesis to Revelations, but you need to remember how God came into your life and how HE has been helping you.
That’s all you need to point people to God, initially.
Furthermore, you will need to also improve on your knowledge of God in order to deepen your relationship with Him, and touch more lives for Him.
And, it is absolutely important that you pray for the lost and the backsliding people, anytime you pray for yourself.
Let us Pray:
Father God, thank you for loving us endlessly and dealing with us mercifully.
We affirm that You are the solution to the problems of the world and ask that your goodness would lead those in our neighborhood to repentance.
We also ask that you help those who are having a faith crisis to come back to you.
We stand against all the forces of darkness that are frustrating faith, relationships, healings, and finances.
We command them to backoff and go to the feet of Jesus Christ.
We release to these folks, a hunger and thirst for God and His Word, and the grace to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ.
We command all frustrating circumstances to be calm and for peace, progress, prosperity and the fear of God to commence.
Help your people O God.
Help those who are at a Crossroad to have a life changing encounter with you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

I can’t find the words with which to describe my feelings at the havoc Hurricane Helene wreaked.
The most touching account was about the community who did not insure their homes because of the rising insurance payments. And now, their homes are leveled out!
Quo vadis? Where do we go from here?
What a double tragedy for them- no homes, no insurance!
But is all lost? NO! God will surely show up strong for them.
For the LORD is merciful, gracious, compassionate, and does not stay angry! Just as a great dad loves his children, so HE loves and cares for those who fear and worship Him. He knows how fragile we are, and will not allow us to be tempted beyond our capacity. See Psalm 103: 8-14.
My concern is not about God, (He is faithful), but those who are affected by the disasters.
After experiencing a tornado, I know how long it takes to process the trauma!
Although God protected us through it, and only a few shingles ran off with the winds, I was traumatized!
Even though I can’t even imagine what they are going through because It’s so overwhelming, I know that God will always be there for them, during this season of troubles, as He was for us.
Please, let us Pray:
*Join me to pray that God comforts, encourages and strengthens them as they start a life after the hurricane.
*Pray that hope will rise again in them, to press forward, and not give up.
*Pray that fear, ringing in the ear and premonitions of evil ceases from tormenting them.
*Speak healings to their minds and relationships, that instead of dissensions, and frustrations, they will have peace of mind, peace with one another, be helpful, cooperative, understanding and hopeful.
*Ask God to send them help, as well as to touch families, churches, and nonprofits to constructively reach out to all t
victims of disasters.
*Pray that during and after this trauma, they will bond strongly with God, find solace in Him, so that their minds and strength will be renewed, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Dear People of God and Prayer-Partners. I had a night that was burdened with prayers for those who are affected by disasters.
Behind every natural disaster or catastrophe is God’s merciful intervention, to address unrepentant or repeated sinfulness, and reset the community.
God is the Monarch of the universe and the Righteous Judge of all the earth. And He does what He pleases in heaven, on earth, in the seas, and under the earth; and He releases the wind from the storehouses also:- Read Psalm 135:6-12, Psalm 24:1-2, 135:6, 2 Chronicles 20:6.
This may seem strange to the uninformed, but God always intervenes in world affairs (John 3:16) in order to stop the corrupting effects of evil in nations.
In Leviticus 26, we have been given written insight into how God deals with repeated disobedience, through increasing catastrophes, tragedies, calamities, or disasters.
Leviticus 26, from verses 14-39, contains the five-circles of Divine disciplines, while verses 40-45 shows how repentance brings restoration.
You may be thinking that Leviticus was for the Israelites of old, but we are told in 1 Corinthians 10: 11 that these things happened to them as examples, and were written for our instructions…”
This is not a judgment call out on those who are experiencing disastrous circumstances, but a “Call to Prayer” for all Christians on behalf of those who are or will experience disasters of any kind.
Let us Pray:
*Father God, if you were to judge humanity today without the Christ sacrifice, none will survive.
*We are thankful for the Blood of Jesus Christ that speaks better things for humanity.
And in accordance with your Word that says we should pray for one another (James 5:16),
*We your children come boldly to Your Throne of grace to obtain mercy for the peoples of our world who are currently being disciplined by natural disasters.
*We identify with all their sins that caused this Divine Reset.
*We acknowledge that we have rejected the knowledge of God, promoted sexual immorality, and raised altars for the worship of foreign gods on the lands that our pioneers dedicated to You the Most High God.
*You have done justly, but have mercy Father. Let your mercy prevail over judgment: see the Blood of Jesus and be moved in compassion to stop the surging waters of the storm, minimize the damages it can cause, and work in the survivors of all disasters, to seek You, Father God.
*Release to them Father, evangelists and missionaries, who will rightly divide the Word of Truth to them so that their hearts will be broken from sins.
* I present to you Father, everyone who have prayed this prayer, that they will be spared from disastrous circumstances, and luve a life worthy of emulating in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ 🙏🏽.
God bless and keep you safe for alwalways, in Jesus name.
Please keep praying for them that this bitter experience will not be wasted, but used to make them renew faith in God, and live changed lifestyles.

There are days you wake up feeling like you are missing something, or something doesn’t feel quite right, as if there is evil in the air, and something bad is going to happen.
Wish I could express this better.
Well, the Bible calls it “the spirit of heaviness” in Isaiah 61:3 KJV
If you are feeling that way or worse, here is the Good News for you today: an exchange is happening.
Read and personalize the verses below, then we pray!
“Isaiah 61:1-3 KJV
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all that mourn;
to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,
to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3 KJV.
#MyPrayer4you:
*In unity of faith, I thank God for His goodness, protection, preservation, provisions, prosperity, and the posterity of the righteous.
*I declare that no divination, sorcery, enchantment, spell, incantations, projections, jinxes, or premonitions can prosper against you, for as God’s righteousness, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit.
I identify with all unrighteousness in your life as we admit that we did not hold fast to our confessions of faith and thus allow the enemy to influence our thoughts.
*We receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness and proclaim that the Works of the devil are destroyed and sin no longer dominates our thoughts and behaviors.
*I proclaim your physical and spiritual liberty from the spirit of heaviness and declare it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to whoever troubles you.
Therefore, that yoke of affliction upon your life is destroyed.
*I command all lifting up of the sorrows in the air and declare to you that things are turning around for your good and grace and favors are working for you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Tropical storm Helene has now become a Hurricane. In Christ Jesus, we as Believers have the authority to calm all raging storms.
Our Biblical precedence in dealing with storms is in Matthew 8:23-27.
PrayerPoints4Today:
*Thank God for the authority we have in Christ Jesus to bring order to our world .
*Pray for all those in the path of hurricane Helene to be protected from the raging storms, winds, and flooding rains.
*Command storm Helene to be calm.
*Speak to the winds to be calm and blow normal.
*. Speak to the flooding rains to hold its peace and be still.
Above all, ask that God’s mercy will prevail over judgment and not destroy his people through climatic cataclysm, catastrophes or natural disasters, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.
Shalom From Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, September 25th, 2024
Some people ask that since God is the all-knowing God, does it matter if we pray to Him with our minds or with our mouth?
Below are some points to help your faith, before we pray.
1).Back in Genesis, after God said ”Let us make”, He went ahead and spoke things into existence. See Genesis 1:26-28.
2). When the Disciples asked to be taught how to pray, Christ said to them to SAY. See Luke 11:2 .
3). Life and death is in the power of your tongue See Proverbs 18:21
4). With the heart you believe unto righteousness, with the MOUTH confession is made unto salvation .see Romans 10:8-10
5). In the Old Testament, the people of God entered into their possessions by personal effort. For God promised them wherever the soles of their feet touched, as their possessions. See Joshua 1:3-9
However, God in Christ Finished the Works for whoever Believes in Jesus Christ. Hence scripture says that even if you have faith as tiny as a mustard seed, you can change the topography of your world, by telling the mountains to move, and it will obey you. See Mathew 17:20
There is Power in vocalizing your Prayer depending on the kind of prayer you are praying.
Although you can think a Prayer, or even sing a prayer, God says to SAY your prayers.
PrayerPoints4Today:
1). Say to God how great He is, and how awesome are His ways.
2. Ask God to help you have a mountaintop experience, instead of having these valley-like experiences in life.
3. Be the prophet of your life, prophesy good over your life knowing that God will confirm your words and performs your counsel.
4). Pray for your nation. Thank God for His prevailing mercy that withholds from us the judgment we deserve and giving us the leaderships that will do His will, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior September 24th 2024.
“…We are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, Ephesians 4:14-15 NASB1995 .
What you allow into your mind is what will control you. Hence the Bible says – “Do not give the devil a foothold” (Ephesians 4:27)
Just so you know, If you give the devil a foothold, he will hold you strongly.
Warning:
#SpiritualTherapy: Process your Deliverance.
1). You must be born again:
In order to engage in these spiritual warfare prayers, and have full coverage of the Blood of Jesus against any satanic reprisals, you must be born again. Read John 3:3-5, 16, 18. Luke 10:19.
1a).Follow these ABC Steps to become Born again:
*Acknowledge you are a sinner.
*Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ has paid the price for your sins, and is now your personal Savior.
*Confess with your mouth that Jesus died on your behalf, was buried, resurrected from the dead and you now have eternal life in Him. (Read John 3:3,16,18; 6:23; Romans 5:8; 10:9-10)
2). If you are already born again:
a). Act responsibly and quit blaming your ancestors and everyone else for your present challenges. Because, you are 95% responsible, while satan and others are 5% to blame.
b).You are responsible to renew the spirit of your mind, and not kep living as an unbeliever by “walking in the vanity of your mind’ (Read Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:7-9; Ephesians 4 17)
c). Refuse to engage in mind games: *The mind is the center of your Soul, and your Soul is the seat of your personality(the real you).
*Your thoughts originate from your mind and control your lifestyle. Read Proverbs 23:7
*If you fill your mind with the Word of God by engaging in regular Bible Reading, your thoughts will be fully influenced by God, and will be reflected in your actions.
*However, when you allow *Television, News media etc, to program your mind, you have given satan control over your mind. And satan’s mission is to steal happiness, killjoy, and destroy Humanity ( Read John 10:10)
d). Therefore, be intentional in feeding your mind with the things that will add value to your life.
e) Be ready to cast down all imaginations- 2 Corinthians 10:5
How? Even though you cannot stop birds from flying overhead, at least you can stop them from nesting in your hair!
Therefore, refuse to meditate on anything that will not add value to your life.
3).Believe in God’s faithfulness:
When those voices start reminding you of your sins,
a). Refuse to allow that torment. Command them to be silent, for the Blood of Christ is speaking better things on your behalf – Hebrews 12:24
b). Furthermore, counter them with truth that God cannot lie.
c). Believe in your heart and declare 1 John 1:9 which says:
“If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 1 John 1:.9.AMP
d).Refuse to feel unworthy, You have been made righteous by what Jesus Christ accomplished.
e). Additionally, whenever satan throws your sins in your face, counter him with Romans 5:1-2
Know in Whom you have believed and what you should believe.
e). To maintain your deliverance, you must work out your salvation by putting away everything that identifies you to your past before Christ.
Read Ephesians 4:22-32
f). Aim at developing Christlikeness in worship, character and service.
Let us pray.

Although frustration starts as an emotion you feel when things don’t go your way, it can quickly become a stressor, leading to increases in your blood pressure and trigger
other health issues.
Bible Base: Isaiah 40:27.
O … how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O… how can you say God ignores your rights? Isaiah 40:27 NLT
The reason is that at the root of frustration are anger, annoyance, anxiety, lack of self confidence, tiredness, thwarted or unrealistic expectations, helplessness, hopelessness, etc.
If you place your confidence in humans, or the establishments run by humans, or rely on your spirituality, beauty, strength, intelligence, connections, age, race, status etc, then you have successfully set yourself up for frustration.
Which will activate divine curses, and you’ll be vulnerable to demonization. Read Jeremiah 17:5-8
Hence the Bible says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life “ Proverbs 13:12.
It matters what your expectations are, and on Whom you base these expectations.
If you base your hopes, aspirations or expectations on God, do the following:
1). Encourage yourself in Who God is.
“ Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding” Isaiah 40:28 NLT.
2).Exercise self control by controling your emotions (self control is a fruitful of the Holy Spirit, see Galatians 5:22-23)
Which means you must refuse to allow frustration, anger, annoyance etc to get a hold of your mind! Reject it!
If you give the devil a foothold, he will hold you strongly!
Therefore you must be intentional to stop or cast down all negative thoughts, and fill your mind with the Word of God that will build up your faith, and strengthen you.
Remember that we overcome by the words of our testimony, and life and death is in the words you say!
3. Remind yourself always that there is a future and a reward for the child of God, and that your hope and expectations will not be cut off. (Proverbs 23:18).
4) Affirm also that God confirms our words and performs our counsel. And the hope of the righteous is gladness. Read Isaiah 46:26, Proverbs 10:28, 1 Peter 1:23.
5) Learn to wait on God – a ‘waiter serves’. Keep busy knowing that your desires will be granted. Be joyful!
God has perfect timing – He will definitely show up.
And even if God modifies it or delays the manifestation, be rest assured that HE will surely bring your expectations to pass.
6) Learn the reasons and lessons in the troubles, problems or whatever the frustration is.
The Bible in Hebrews 5:8 says that Jesus learned obedience by what He suffered.
Don’t ’ waste the experience, so it won’t happen again.
#SpiritualTherapy : #Deliverance
*Thank God that you are born of God, more than a conqueror, an overcomer, and are victorious over the world and the forces of evils.
*Acknowledge that you were angry at God, frustrated with yourself and felt hopeless at what you are experiencing.
*Affirm that the Word of faith is in your mouth and you proclaim your Deliverance from frustrations and frustrating circumstances.
*Proclaim that God causes all things to Work together for your good, therefore you refuse to allow frustrations to plague you.
*Command to leave your atmosphere at once, all the forces of evils that are influencing disfavor, rejection, unplanned spending, financial hardships, accidents, illnesses, and everything else that triggers the feelings of frustrations.
*Thank God for His supernatural intervention that will realign your life to His perfect will and purposes for you.
*Proclaim that you are walking in the pathways of righteousness, excellence, productiveness, goodwill, healings, and supernatural favors.
*Declare that you have a goodly heritage, for the lines have fallen for you in pleasant places, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
You can email me if you need a friend in Christ or just a mentor.

When God called me into the full time Christian Ministry, He met with full resistance from me.
One of the major reasons why I resisted was my inability to trust God with the life of my children.
Then God made me realize that idolizing them would jeopardize them because He is a jealous God, and idols get destroyed.
Needless to say, that encounter with God scared me, and made me to reprioritize.
And for over 30 years since I made that decision, God has never failed me. Instead He has increased my family, added men as trees to my descendants, and preserved them all from evils.
We have faced numerous challenges, satan and humans have joined forces against us, but we have always come out victorious.
For as it is written, ‘whatsoever is born of God is victorious over the world and the victory that overcomes the world is my faith’ Read 1 John 5:4
Perhaps, you are at a place today, wondering if you can trust God to watch out for your family/descendants. .
Don’t worry, God is faithful! Learn to trust Him. You are precious to Him and you can never love your children more than He loves them!
“Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, ”Deuteronomy 7:9, AMPC
God keeps covenants to a thousand generations, and our opening verse/picture post states that, “the posterity of the righteous will be delivered” Proverbs 11:21
#PrayerPoints4Today:
1). Thank God for all your children, grandchildren, and generations yet unborn.
2). Acknowledge that you have worried more than you pray over your children, thereby not trusting God with their lives.
3). Call out the names of your children and hand them over to God, and be assured that whatever is committed to God is safe and secure.
4). Ask God to help you navigate victoriously, all mandatory requirements by the schools, without putting your children’s future in jeopardy.
5). Pray earnestly from your heart and ask God to preserve your descendants from all the evils in our societies.
6) Declare that all evil generational trends stops with you and cannot cross generational lines to show up in your posterity.
7) Thank God for the deliverance and protection of your posterity from kidnappings, all forms of slavery, genetic disorders, premature deaths, hardships, mediocrity and other evils.
8). Thank God that your posterity are among the generations of those that worship God in spirit and in truth, and with the entirety of their beings, they excell at what they do and will always showcase exemplary conduct, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
