You may have woken up today feeling like you lack the strength or willpower to continue living, due to the numerous challenges and limited resources.
The feelings of exhaustion and hopelessness are intense, especially after you have exhausted all options, and done all you can possibly do not to be where you are at now in your health, finances, marriage, morality, addictions, etc.
Let Us Pray:
Father, help us to find new strength in you.
Renew hope in us O God.
Make life worth living again for us.
Just help us Father,
We cast our cares, anxieties, traumas, pains and painful memories, hurting souls, and needs, on you.
Be God in our life
Be magnified, be big, in, and through us.
Step in Father, we hand over the reins of our lives to your Mighty hands, lead us through this challenging journey, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Blindness, which is the state of being sightless, is a condition where an individual is unable to see.
Bible Base:
Ephesians 1: 17-23; Proverbs 29:18.
The common denominator between physical and spiritual blindness is the inability to distinguish between light and darkness.
From the Biblical Perspectives, “where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18.
And according to Wikipedia, “vision impairment (VIP) is the partial or total inability of visual perception”
Blindness, whether spiritual or physical, is a problem.
Let us Pray:
Father God, thank you for giving us eyes that see and an understanding heart.
We stand against all levels of visual impairment and related difficulties, especially low vision and blindness, that are medically impossible to correct.
We break the root, off of cataracts, glaucoma and refractive errors.
We proclaim healings for all forms of blindness, whether inherited, acquired, or spiritual.
We release healings to those with diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, infections, and those blind due to traumatic injuries. And we command all the forces of evils behind these, to let go, and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
We pray that illumination increases, and that God in His infinite mercy gives them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that they will know Him better.
We pray also, that the eyes of their hearts will be flooded with light, so that they can know and understand the hope which is in Christ Jesus, the riches and glory to be inherited by those who walk, by faith in God and not by sight.
Thank you Father for the immeasurable, unlimited, and surpassing greatness of Your power that is working in and through us who believe, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.

The first time I experienced a tornado was very traumatic.
Consider how much trepidation those in the path of hurricane Francine are feeling!
Let’s Pray:
Father, we ask you to help your people in Louisiana and Texas that the Hurricane francine is bearing down on.
Help them to prepare not only physically, but to prepare spiritually and emotionally too.
Flood your people with peace of mind, and give them insight into what to do to stay safe.
Father, Redirect the course of the hurricane back into the Atlantic with minimal damage to lives and properties, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, September 11th, 2024.
Thank You Father God for this great day that you made for our pleasure.
We are joyful in your salvation and grateful for your protection.
Have your way in our lives and continually lead us in the pathways of righteousness, excellence, goodness, patience and kindness.
We hold strongly to your Word that you will keep us safe despite all the ongoing evils in our world.
We proclaim healings of the sick, comfort for mourners, direction for the lost, restoration of marriages, reconciliation for estranged people, and restoration of hope for the hopeless, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38 NLT.
It is so sad that many of us idolize the anointing oil, exalting it above the name of Jesus Christ.
The Bible says in Acts 4:12
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved …”
If your need is salvation, Jesus Christ is the answer.
Again in Philippians, Bible states:
“…God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, that at the mention of the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father …See Philippians 2:9-11.
Jesus Christ is the Savior healer, deliverer, prosperer, etc, and not the anointing oil, handkerchief or other mantles.
Mantles and anointing oil were necessary in the Old Testament days because the Holy Spirit was not resident in Humans then.
But when Christ came, He was Anointed and consecrated for service. And the Christian receives that same Holy Spirit’s anointing for service.
The Believer is Anointed already. You don’t need the oil.
Besides, there are consequences for anyone who compounds any like the one God ordered in the Old Testament (Exodus 39:32-34)
Please hold fast your confessions of faith, and refuse to allow anyone’s denominational beliefs in the doctrines of anointing oil, to frustrate your faith in Christ.
Let us Pray:
Thank you Father for anointing us with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that like Jesu Christ, we can go about doing good by healing the sick, raising the dead, and delivering those oppressed by the devil.
We admit that in ignorance, we idolized the anointing oil, holy water, and other mantles.
We receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness, and I….( your name) affirm that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
I hereby cast down all imaginations, doctrines, beliefs, etc., that exalts itself above the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank You Father for calling, choosing and anointing me to be the light and salt in this world.
Thanks also for the authority and power that is mine by faith in Christ Jesus.
By the Authority invested in me, I armor up and go about doing good, in the matchless name Jesus Christ.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D. #theSpiritualWarrior , September 9th 2024
1). God should humble whoever or whatever thinks they are supreme, or have the upper/ whip hand, are selfish and self centered.
2). Exaltation of the needy and those deprived of their rights.
#PrayerPoints4Today:
Father God, we acknowledge you as the Supreme God who reigns over this world and who rules over the affairs of men.
We are at a critical point in the history of this world 🌎 which You gave to us humans.
As your children and members of the Human race, we ask that you come into our world as the Righteous Judge of the Universe, and minister justice to the people.
Intervene Father, and help your children to navigate these trying times, without compromising faith in you and your values.
We confidently put our trust in you, for you have never forsaken those who utilize their authority and rights in You.
And by the authority You have invested in us as your children, We come against all the forces of evils that have been unleashed into our societies, and command them to stand down, disarm, and retreat: no matter their ranks, positions or authorities.
We proclaim that in Christ Jesus, we have dominion and authority over all satan’s kingdom of darkness, and this present world: Therefore, we command all the works of satan to implode, so that righteousness shall exalt the people.
Additionally, we stand against destitution, rising cost of living, desperation, depression, rusing mental disorders, suicides, socioeconomic woes, violence, and the invasions of sicknesses and diseases, and release Divine Justice on these evils.
We refuse to grant further liberties to satan and his forces of evils in our world.
We proclaim that only God’s Will shall be done here on earth.
We command to be destroyed right now, that satanic hold over world affairs, especially in the socio-political and pharmaceutical arena, and release the fear and dread of God on policy makers and human agents of the devil in disguise.
We command a disconnect between spiritual puppeteers and their puppets, so that the human eyes of understanding will be enlightened, and an end will come upon destruction and violence.
Father God, let your mercy speak for our Nations, because of your people.
Father, avenge the blood of Your people shed unjustly, and execute judgment quickly so that the wicked will be snared in the works of their own hands.
Let Your Word continue to gain ascendancy in our nations and speedily answer the cries of the afflicted, the poor, the sick, the homeless and the veterans. Turn around their situations and circumstances to bring glory to You, Father.
Arise Father, let not evil continue to prevail in our world, show yourself strong in our nations so that those who sold out to the devil will know that You are God to whom all are accountable, and those who trust in you will be encouraged.
Thank you Father, for continuing to restrain evil and the evil-one in our world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
As I have always stated from the Biblical Perspectives, Spiritual Warfare is like a two-faceted coin.
Side #1, involves “Conforming to the image of Christ”,
Side #2 involves “Enforcing the Victory of Christ in our world and bearing fruit”
Both sides are important.
But rather unfortunately, many seek deliverance without character adjustments, and then blame God for their troubles, or say the Minister is a false prophet.
God’s part is done!
You are already Accepted in the Beloved(Ephesians 1:6).
Your Part is in the doing of God’s will.
When you do God’s will, by applying Biblical Principles in your life, you won’t need to seek deliverance ministers, or have mental health issues. Demons will run away from you!
Persecution won’t matter because you will be living the higher life in this world. You will have God’s protection, enjoy Divine health, receive healing if you fall ill, and have abundance, when others are crying about the economy.
Nothing can compare to the blessings of living by the Word of God.
Let us Pray:
Father, thank you for your life and power that is at work in and through me.
I affirm that I am wonderfully and fearfully made, and a terror to the forces of evils.
I refuse to accommodate sickness, failures, depression, anger, and frustrating circumstances.
I am a child of God and daily, I am conforming to the image of Christ, and I live as an overcomer in this life, and whatever I lay my hands to do, prospers.
I walk in the pathways of righteousness, excellence, prosperity, and victory.
I affirm that discouragement, fears, depression, wretchedness, low self-esteem and mental health issues and other evils, have been deleted from my life Principles.
Daily, faith is increasing in me, I’m joyful, and tribulations can never torment my soul, ever again!
For I know in Whom I have believed, and I know that God is able to save me from any persecutions in this world. And even if He doesn’t, I refuse to compromise my faith like Shadach, Meshack and Abednego (Daniel 3:1- 30).
Thank You Father for my Identity in You, and for accepting me in Christ your Beloved, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.
Previously, we prayed about “Intentionally Eschewing Evil”, today, we pray that we shall continue to keep being Upright!
Bible Base:
Job 1:8,
1 Timothy 6:6,
2 Timothy 3:12
Being a Christian in a liberal Society is nightmarish. But then;
‘Anyone who desires to pursue righteousness, and who is determined to live Godly lives in Christ Jesus will be hunted and persecuted because of their faith’ (2 Timothy 3:12).
Christianity is both a personal lifestyle, and a ‘together-faith’ in God.
We need each other so we can stand strong in faith, for ‘a threefold cord is not quickly broken’ (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
Therefore, we must diligently preserve the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, as we sharpen each other through healthy discussions and not destructive criticisms. (Ephesians 4:3, Proverbs 27:17).
But as an Individual Christian, we must learn how to run the Christian race impeccably by adopting the following guideline.
1). Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). Be Bible literate. Know what Christ accomplished and your benefits for following Him!
2). Provoke the growth of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Write out and make copies, and place them strategically where you can see them always. So that you consciously live by them.
3). Review the life of Bible characters, to know, and adopt their exceptional skills, and how to avoid their pitfalls.
3b)Through a personal study of Abraham, I learned faith, family values, and how not to allow love for family to frustrate my faithwalk with God.
3c) Through Samson and Solomon, I learned how sexual immorality, religion and political affiliations, can frustrate your divine destiny, if you compromise your values.
As a committed Christian, you must function with Biblical Principles so that you will become a person with high moral values, who avoids opportunities for wrong doing.
Thanks be to God who already gave us a moral head start, by giving us His righteousness through Christ Jesus.
To maintain that righteousness, you must choose to be Upright, which involves being honest, honorable, decent, incorruptible, and scrupulous.
Your conduct must confirm your Christianity at all times.
Do you know why God asked satan about Job’s conduct and character?
It’s because satan is the accuser of the brethren.
Your conduct and character help satan build a case against you and allow for his evil spirits to demonize you.
A change in lifestyle converts your challenges to channels of blessings.
#MyPrayer4you:
Today, I identify and admit our sins and unrighteousness, and affirm that God is faithful and Just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And in unity of faith, I stand with you against evils, badness, villainy, all forms of immoralities, impropriety, degradation, decadence, dishonesty, dissipation, debauchery, crookedness; as well as debasement, rottenness, vileness, meanness, wretchedness, and all unrighteous characteristics.
And I agree with you that from today, your character and conduct will conform to Christ, and your proclamation of faith will be fervent and shameless.
I bless you from my spirit, and I proclaim that your life will count for more, excellence will characterize your businesses, and all that you have lost are restored to greater glory.
I affirm that you are healed in your mind, bones, body and soul, for the power of sickness is destroyed in your life.
All that pertains and relates to you are shielded from evil, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior , September 6th 2024
To eschew is to avoid, evade, or shun doing wrong.
Bible Base:
Job 1:8
1 Thessalonians 5:22
“Abstain from every form of evil”(BSB)
Job was a man who eschewed evil. He never utilized the opportunities to do wrong. He stayed upright.
Though he faced some life changing circumstances, the devil could not upstage him.
Make time to read the book of Job.
Stop and think about you!
How would you rate your integrity?
Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody’s watching.
Quit making excuses for lying, cheating, shoplifting, retaliating, etc.
A person with strong moral principles is incorruptible.
You did not have to do that wrong, but you chose to indulge. You need to work on your values.
When you indulge in sinful acts, you open up routes for satan and his forces of evil to attack you.
Satan is that adversary who is roaming about looking for whom to devour (I Peter 5:8)
You resist him by being steadfast in faith.
Understand that you have weaknesses and work at turning them to areas of strength.
How can you be accepting of generational evils, are complacent about it, and then complain about your troubles?
Your present troubles are the result of your complacency in sinning like an unbeliever.
It’s not ancestral curses. Its you who watered the seeds sown by your ancestors and are now reaping the harvest.
Although you are not accountable for the sins of your ancestors, you are responsible for creating a suitable environment for the curses to alight, when you do not avoid evil.
Be that Christian who knows God and is determined to do the right thing even if nobody is watching.
Christianity is a lifestyle which involves doing God’s will and doing good things to others for God’s sake.
Eschew evils- if you want to see good days.
Let Us Pray:
Father God, thank you for your grace that is at work in and through us.
We admit that we have taken advantage of opportunities to do wrong, have lied, used swear words, cheated, stolen, etc , behaviors that called our Christianity into question.
We receive forgiveness of sins, and cleansing from all unrighteousness.
Thank you also for silencing all the voices of accusations, and for working in us to run away from all appearances of evil (Thessalonians 5:22)
We stand against the slave mentality and declare that we are servants of righteousness.
We declare that our lives will from henceforth be the definition of uprightness, integrity and loyalty to God.
Our lifestyles will attract people to God.
We disconnect from all behaviors and actions that causes people to despise Christians.
Use us for Your glory Father,and restore to us, the joy of salvation, in the matchless name of Jesus.
Hence it is written that, “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”. (2 Timothy 1:7 KJV)
Back in Genesis 1, God created the heavens and the earth. Then in verse two, the world became chaotic and enshrouded in darkness.
Eventually in verse 3, God shows up and brings order into the world by recreation.
If you allow chaos to continue in your life, home, etc., you are allowing the forces of darkness to be in control!
We know that God is very orderly and satan is chaotic and creates confusion.
Stop and think.
How orderly are you?
Some people make excuses for their lack of discipline by referring to their mess as ‘organized chaos”. Not funny!
In spiritual warfare, chaos is an indication of confusion, which points to demon activities.
Where there is confusion, mental health issues are evident. There will be disorientation, anger, frustration, depression, wretchedness, low self-esteem, as well as procrastination, and poverty, with all their relatives, including witchcraft attacks.
If you do not want to attract unnecessary demonic attacks, It is therefore important that you live an orderly life, and create order in your world!
Redeem your time by living a life that glorifies God.
Instead of wasting precious time engaging in avoidable spiritual warfare or seeking deliverance ministers etc, put that effort into organizing yourself.
Be orderly. Take back your life! So can stop wondering where time went!
Plan your day.
Plan your spending.
Write down things in order of priority.
Be aware of your environment.
Know who you are in Christ. Stand strong and do life well.
Life is precious. Christ paid a high price so that you can have life in abundance (John 10:10).
A child who sleeps during the harvest, is a child who causes shame (Proverbs 10:5)
Make God proud of you Good has high standards for His children
If God refused to allow chaos and darkness to continue, why should you?.
#MyPrayer4you:
Today, I stand with you in prayers, and thank God for the beautiful life He has given us.
I ask forgiveness for all the ways we have neglected to rule over our lives, and have not tended and kept the garden You gave us.
I command to leave at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the evil spirits that took advantage of your neglect, and are now in domination, of your life and affairs.
I command them to leave at once also, with all their relatives, the evil spirits influencing confusion, disorientation, fear, and procrastination, hopelessness, depression and anxiety.
You are set free to walk the pathways of righteousness.
Grace and favor are working for you and you will experience ease of success, you will have additional support, as you reorder your lifestyle.
I release to you now, the grace of God that recreate order, beauty, excellence, prosperity and purposefulness, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
