#3 Prayer Focus for Today: The God who Heals and Delivers (b)

Continuation:

3b. Command the immediate cessation of all symptoms, and declare that healings should manifest now.

3c. Place your right hand over your heart, and tell it to stop being troubled and to start trusting in the Lord.

3d. Place your right hand over your head, and declare that you are ‘the healed’, therefore, every organ, vessels, muscles, bone, tissues etc, should sync and function with God’s Word.

3e. If you have a diagnosis, call the sickness by its medical name and tell it to leave your body at once because you refuse to accommodate it any longer, in your body.

3f. Tell your spirit, soul and body that it is well and affliction will not come again.

4 Declarations:
4a. Declare that you have a good heritage as a child of God who owns the universe. Therefore, all embargoes and bans over your economic and financial prosperity are abrogated.

4b. Declare that you are blessed beyond curses and the accrued blessings of the Gentiles should start to flood your existence now.

4c. Thank God that the covenantal blessings of Abraham come to you and proclaim that the end has come upon lack, indebtedness, financial miseries, workplace insecurities, fear of losing income, bloodline poverty and hardships, homelessness, lack of incomes, hunger, fear of tomorrows, and other related issues.

  1. Say these words to yourself from your heart and mean it:
    “I…. (Mention your name) refuse to be poor, wretched, beggarly, and miserable. Poverty does not indicate righteousness, for I have been made righteous by my faith in Christ Jesus.

Today, I cast off the chains of hopelessness, wretchedness, penury, disdain and religious bigotry, hereditary poverty, and poverty mentality.

I pronounce myself healed and delivered from everything that hindered me from enjoying the benefits of salvation.

Through prosperity, I shall be spreading the Good News of salvation, so help me God.

Finally, Thank God your Healer and Deliverer. Thank Him for his steadfast love and excellent greatness.

#MyPrayer4You:

I agree with your prayers and declare that grace and favor will always answer for you.

I curse the root of that sickness and command its life giving sources to die now.
Be healed in your body,
Be healed in your mind.
Be healed in your spirit.


I release to you miraculous financial favors that will clear up your debts and give you a new beginning.

Everyone in your support groups are blessed for giving you support.
By blessing you, channels of blessings open to them daily in Jesus name..

God Will show up strong for you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

#2 Prayer Focus for Today: The God who Heals and Delivers (a)

Note: This is going to be lengthy, so it is in 2 parts already.

Today is our wedding anniversary,  and we are so thankful for the grace of marriage.

This month is also the 30th anniversary of the Call to full-time Christian ministry  and the 29th year of Pioneering the Spiritual Warfare and Tactics Squad-SWATS. 

You would expect that our prayers for today would focus on these things.

Naah! God has better ideas. He has led us to focus on Him as the One who ‘sent His Word, to heal and deliver us from destructions’ (See Psalm 107:20).

Our God is that Great Physician who not only heals all diseases, he also delivers people from financial ruin, economic stagnation, abusive relationships, self-destructive ideas….(fill in your situations)

Today, know that God the Great Physician and Deliverer, have your back, even if Medicaid has dropped you, and Medicare is frustrating, and you are jobless, homeless or sick. 

You are not hopeless.  

God’s health insurance plans have comprehensive coverage for every aspect of your life,- finances, relationships and general welfare.

You need to know and understand WHO God is and Believe in Him.

As Healer, God is the Great Physician who heals everything that makes us sinful, sick, shameful, or subjugated. 

Hence, He sent Jesus Christ to ‘take our illnesses and carry away our diseases’ (Matthew 8:17): And ‘by whose stripes you were healed’ (1 Peter 2:24).

As Deliverer, God strengthens, empowers economically, rescues, and prospers.  

The Bible is replete with testimonies of how God delivered His people from slavery. He brought them out with silver and gold,  and none were feeble among  (Psalm 105:37).

God is unchanging. What He did for others,  He will do for you. Know Him for who HE is.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1.Thanksgiving:

1a Read Psalm 107:20-22:

1b Present yourself, your family, friends and your nation to God, and  thank Him for healing- diseases, marriages, relationships and emotional hurts.

1c Thank Him for delivering you all from the destructive influences in the world.

2 Confession of sin:

Sin makes us vulnerable to satan and sicknesses. 

2a. Acknowledge your sins and receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

2. Affirmations:

2a Declare that Christ Jesus has taken away your sins and carried away your sicknesses and that you refuse to accept the diagnosis and prognosis of your condition. 

God has the final say! Hallelujah 

3. #SpiritualWarfare:

3a. Command to depart at once from your world, and go with all their relatives to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the evil spirits influencing infirmities, fears, doubts,  addiction issues, error, default behavioral patterns, indebtedness, economic stagnation, helplessness, neediness, and victim mentality.

See part b for the continuation.

#1 Prayer Focus for Today: The Goodness of God.

Recently, as we prayed, we are being led to focus on an aspect of God’s essence in worshipful reverence.

Yesterday, our focus was on His faithfulness. I apologize for not writing down the revelations about His faithfulness.

I’m thankful that today, I can share these prayerful thoughts with you.

As my feet hit the floor of our bedroom, I heard a song in my spirit eulogizing the Goodness of God. And I knew that was my prayer-focus for the day! Hallelujah.

What is Goodness?
Goodness is that recognizable quality in the character and conduct of God that entitles Him to our worship.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

  1. Spend some time to review God’s goodness in your life and thank Him for it

Here are some reminders:

1a Although we live in a decadent world, He blesses our food and drinks and takes sicknesses away from us.

1b And even when we get sick because we live in a death-destined world, HE heals us.

1c Pause for a sec., and think of the numerous illnesses that are beyond medical sciences, and that you are not that victim.

Even if you are on meds, your situation is not hopeless, you are being healed!

Although the goodness of God may seem insignificant, it is a very important aspect of God’s character and conduct that stabilizes my Faith in Him.

The Collins Cobuild Advanced Learners Dictionary online describes Goodness as “the quality of being kind, helpful, and honest.” Which, to some extent describes our God, who, despite our many ‘fails’, still retains faith in us.

It is comforting to know in the inside of me that GOODNESS is WHO God is.
Our badness or evilness cannot change who HE is.

  1. As you are praying, remember to thank God for His protection, provisions and patience.
    2a It is of His mercies that we are not destroyed by the evils in the world.

Personal Testimony:

A few nights ago, we forgot to shut our garage and the front door⁹, and went to bed. Although our neighborhood was all lit up, yet, God’s goodness protected us.

2b Think about how God’s goodness shields you from open shame, ridicule, great losses, etc.

Indeed, God is Good.

  1. The Bible says that “…as  He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17c)

3a Thank God for His grace at work in your life, enabling you to be as good as He is.

3b Declare also that from henceforth you will be blameless and upright, revere God, abstain from and shun evils.
3c Affirm that your walk will be consistent with your words and your conduct consistent with your confessions, in Jesus’s name.

I leave you with these scriptures to meditate on from James 1:17-21 KJV:
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” James 1:17-21 KJV.

#MyPrayer4You:
Finally, I pray that the goodness of God that leads to repentance leads all who are not in Christ to make that commitment today.
I pray that surely, God’s goodness and mercy follows you all the days of your life, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

When the Tornadoes came to Benton County, NorthWest Arkansas:

This was my first tornado experience, May 26th 2024

 I had an early night and woke up to the sound of both the tornado warning and  emergency alerts.

It was so surreal.

As we were watching the weather reports, lights flickered and went out.

From our phones, we heard the weatherman call out our street’s name, saying that the tornado was upon us!

We went into the bathtub with only duvets over our heads, and the weirdest sounds outside.

It was so eerie! 

Can you imagine a giant and another fat person trying to squat or huddle in a narrow bathtub?

As the tornado swung by in a drunken rage, it dropped a limb over our backyard, took out some shingles, and kicked over some flower pots that were on the ground, but left without touching all our outdoor hanging flower pots!

Ain’t that God!

We have these 3 trees that are taller than the electric poles.  If the tornado had tossed any of them, we would have become a statistical data!

But God…

However, as the tornado circled our neighborhood, it took out some trees and dropped them over cars, rooftops and powerlines. 

Then, it took out fences, overturned more waste bins, poured some rain into some houses, and went bye- bye!

We thank God for protection, preservation and safety.

Our prayers are for those who lost homes, businesses and personal properties.

We pray that God send them help speedily, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Deliverance from Lust & Mastubation:

‭Bible Reference:
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:16 KJV

Mastubation, which is the erotic stimulation of one’s own sexual organs, outside of sexual intercourse, is not peculiar to men alone. Even women do mastubate.

Mastubation can be categorized scripturally under ‘Lust of the flesh’ 1 John 2:16.

The Christian is to –
“Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts.
Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22 NLT.

Because of hereditary and ingrained learned behavior, some people battle with lustful desires.

There are two major ways to break free from bondages to lustful desires.


Spiritual Therapy: deliverance- spiritual warfare prayers.

The prayers invite God into your situation as well as stop all satanic interferences to enable you  to nforce the victory of the Cross in your life.

Lifestyle changes: Decide in your heart to stop, ✋️ then change everything you were doing contrary to God’s Word. Start living your life by the Holy Bible

Deliverance Prayers:
ABBA Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I ask for and receive forgiveness for not resisting temptation and for getting pleasure from masturbation.


I also receive cleansing from all unrighteousness and the disabling of all genetic predispositions to evils in me.

I hereby close all satanic access routes to my soul and body and affirm that my body is the temple of the Living God.

I confess that I am disconnected from pornography, masturbation, and all other sexual sins and they shall no longer have dominion over me and my bloodline.

I declare myself delivered and disconnected from all links and connections that the demons of lust and perversion were using to control me.

I exercise my Christ given authority over all forces of evils, especially over Opiel, the chief spirit of lust, and all other related sex demons who assault me in my dreams, or who are enabling the habit of mastubation and pornography.

All satanic interferences with My hands, mind, affections, reasoning, consciousness, subconsciousness, semi consciousness, deep consciousness, sexual organs, dream-state, memories, repressed memories, and human nature are hereby disabled and destroyed.

I affirm that I am no longer subject to thought distortions, destructive fantasies, behavioral patterns that were impacting my life and reinforcing the habit of mastubation and pornography.

I affirm that sin, satan and shame shall no longer torment, oppress, intimidate, control or manipulate my life ever again, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Wisdom is profitable to direct:

How have you adapted to the changes brought in by the Covid-19 pandemic?33

As a Christian Spiritual Therapist, the pandemic ingrained in my heart that “Wisdom is profitable to direct” Ecclesiastes 10:10b

During the pandemic,  I was  a victim of social media censorship, which led to the shutting down of several of my Christian ministry outlets. 

Although lots of data was lost, what hurt the most was the loss of platforms that gave me access to reach people with the Good News of salvation. 

Zeal without knowledge is counterproductive, it alienates rather than attracts. 

Hence the Bible says :

Your speech should always be gracious and sprinkled with insight so that you may know how to respond to every person.   

Colossians 4:6 CEB

After those bitter experiences,  I am more focused on lovingly leading people to the Truth of God’s Word, than in scoring points, in winning arguments or judging sin. 

The pandemic made me realize that it is better to be persecuted for righteousness sake, than to be persecuted for indiscretions of impudence.

When John the Baptist left his assigned mission to prepare the way for the Messiah in pursuit of the sins of Herod and Herodias, he ended beheaded and his ministry ended prematurely. 

Prayer:

I pray that you will apply your heart to skillful and Godly wisdom, conscientiously seek understanding, and be a blessing to your world of influences in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

You are more precious than these…

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Most mornings,  we spend about one hour in worship and intercessory prayers. 

Afterward,  I visit with my indoors and outdoors gardens in our front and back yards.

It was a beautiful sight today to see the beautiful yellow bloom of my curly kale.

The uniqueness of this veggie is this: I had no place for them on my raised beds and had to leave them in that bald portion of our yard. They were castaways!

Surprisingly, they survived the inclement weather – hale, snow, sleet, and frost of winter – and are blooming this spring.

Whereas, the ones that I tended did not survive the winter.

‭“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? Matthew 6:25-26 NASB

Even if family and friends treat you with ignominy, look to God, who is Father to the fatherless and friend to the friendless, He will beautify your life and nobody can say you owe them your success!

I pray for you today that you will laugh again, and your laughter will resound, and those that hear you laugh will laugh with you in Jesus Christ matchless name ❤️

You are beautiful:

This flower (hibiscus) is from our indoor garden. Isn’t it amazingly beautiful? I took it in during the winter months and nourished it.

If God could give so much beauty to a flower that withers within days, how much more can HE nourish and beautify your life?

His Word says He  takes pleasure in His people and beautifies the meek with salvation (See Psalm 149:4)

Today I pray that all areas of your life that bring you shame and internal hurts shall be rolled away  from you and be resplendent with God’s glory, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ .

Pursue, Overtake and Recover all 2.

Bible Base:

And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. I Samuel 30:8,KJV

This year is on a roll. Things are happening so fast. Many are weary and confused already.

In 1st Samuel 29, David was in a situation that was moving fast on a bad lane. But for God’s supernatural intervention that delivered him right on time, it would have been really bad for him. 

But before he could even thank God for that narrow escape, David faced another horrible situation.  

Evil was moving so fast to stop his success story!

But David was not battle weary,  nor did he give up hope.  Instead, he turned again to God for help and God said to him:

“Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.” I Samuel 30:8,KJV

#WarfarePrayer

I break the hold of despair, and frustrations over your mind! Nothing can stop your advancement,in Jesus name.

As this year is running so fast, you have to reorder your priorities to make God your 

“ #1 go to person”.

Because, without God on your side, coping with the daily  realities of life will be too much for  you!.

How about you add the demonic to the mix and see how mentally challenging it becomes! 

However,  the person who is in a relationship with God is spiritually empowered to overcome earthly challenges, for the spiritual controls the physical.

Before anything happens in the physical realm, it had already been enacted  in the spiritual realm.

Dominion in this world is fully attainable through a relationship with God. And this can only happen if you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 

Prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, is the acceptable means of communicating with God who is Spirit.

You ought always to pray and not to faint.

Like David, you can take back your life at the place of prayer and not let life’s challenges depress or overwhelm you.

If David did not have that relationship with God, his life would have been a fail.

Whatever you are going through and whatever you are at now, refuse to accept that negative report even if it appears real! 

You can get back your life, your kids, your health,  your career and whatever else was stolen from you. 

Start the pursuit today!

Run out the bad, pursue that good outcome you desire, by first linking up with Jesus Christ. And if you already have, take back your prayer life!

Then, Prayerfully pursue your healings, deliverance, reconciliation, success, and whatever else you desire. 

When you Overtake and Recover everything that the enemy stole from you, you would never be intimidated by the challenges of life, and you will have the testimony of a changed lifestyle!

Never give up. Never quit going after your dream

 Don’t leave things to chance. Pursue your goals. 

Prayer:

I pray that you will continue to be strong and focused, to diligently pursue your set goals. So that all who gave up on you, will see your attainments and glorify God your Helper, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ 🙏🏽

A New Season in the horizon !

As I looked through our back window, I saw this beautiful tree heralding Spring! (Pic)

The leaves on trees and shrubs are springing forth with beautiful colors allover our community!

Glory be to God who created such exquisite trees!

Some leaves are somewhat between white and gold, some are light green while some are a shade between purple and red!

Looking at these awesome wonders, Ican now understand the Songist perspective when he/she wrote the song about God below:

“You are beautiful beyond description ;
Too marvelous for words ;
Too wonderful for comprehension;
Like nothing ever seen or heard;
Who can grasp, Your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depths of your love?
You are beautiful beyond description,
Majesty Enthroned on High.

Chorus:
I stand, I stand in awe of you 2x
Holy God, to Whom All praise is due,
I stand in awe of you. “

It takes a God, who is beautiful beyond description to create beauty for us to enjoy!

“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1

MyPrayerForYou

I pray for you that as you enter the new season, you will not be victim to sicknesses and all other related evils that are peculiar with the seasons. Rather, beautiful newthings will spring forth in your life in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
