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 ♥️.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior , September 12th 2024.
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
*Pray with understanding, from a position of Victory.
Important:
If you really desire freedom from whatever ails you, make time to read this content, review the Bible references, and make notes, so that you can make an informed decision, before you pray!
Although it is lengthy but for your convenience and easy application, it is in 2 parts:
You can save, copy-right, paste, print-out, and share this content for free.
Bible Base: John 10:7-10.
As in our picture post.
Personal Testimony:
Among my siblings, I was the sickest, thinnest and shortest, growing up. It’s a miracle I survived.
My parents spent a great fortune on my health. They took me to the best doctors and who had no idea what ailed me.
And as an adult, sicknesses clung to me like a garment!
I suffered greatly!
Everything that could be wrong was wrong. Even my gums and nails were black.
Until I had an encounter with the God who heals all diseases and was healed.
I first encountered God’s healings at a spiritual warfare crusade where my journey into divine healings began.
I had personal Bible study sessions to research how to receive divine healing, and stay healthy.
And whenever an opportunity arose to work with God’s servant with healing ministries, I took it.
And I have witnessed several healings of paraplegic, the lame, barren wombs, the mentally challenged, and persons with the last stage of cancer, etc.
Sickness is no longer the norm of my life, it is now the exception. So much so that during the pandemic, it never came near us.
Whatever you have been diagnosed with, or you feel is wrong with you, the cure is with God, through faith in Christ.
A). You can be healed and stay healed:
Sickness is an incipient death.
Biblically, the major open door or root causes for all sicknesses is sin- the Fall of Man!
It started with Adam. And sin is our genetic legacy from him.
But God in His infinite mercy, solved that problem with the righteous nature He gives anyone who receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
(Read Genesis 1-5, and Romans 5-8.)
B). Read your Bible to collate these Truths. For “Precepts must be upon Precepts” (Proverbs 28:10)
Even though the Christian receives a new nature, there is always a struggle between both natures for supremacy (Romans 7:15-20)
It is your responsibility to enforce the victory of Christ in your life, and to behave what you believe, like the woman with the ‘Issue of blood’ did in Luke 8:43-48)
Know that this world is a death destined society. Which works well with the sin-nature to pull humans down to the dust of the earth (Genesis 3:19).
Hence Christ said to His disciples,’you are in the world but not of the world’ (John 17:15-21)
As the Bible says, ‘the one who comes from above is above all ‘(John 3:31-34)
Process the following scriptures in your mind so that it forms the framework for your thinking, that ‘you are born again from above, and not of this world’ (Read John 1:12-13, 3:3,1 Peter 1:3, 23; 2 Corinthians 5:17,Titus 3:5, 1 John 2:29: 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4.
Grow your knowledge of God and your new status:
Memorize the three R’s:
Resist:- learn to resist the pull of the earth and submit to God (Read John 3:3, Ephesians 6:12, James 4:7-10, 2 Corinthians 5:21)
Refuse:- to be dragged down to low-life Levels, ever again!
(Read James 1:12-16, Galatians 5:19-21)
Remember:- Whose you are (God’ own handiwork).
Who you are (redeemed, healed, delivered, prosperous, righteous, holy unto God, uninfectable, etc) and
Where you are from (citizen of heaven) (John 1:12, 1 Corinthians 3:23,15:10, 23,14:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 3:12; Ephesians 1:4,7, 2:4-5,; 1 John 2:12. 3:1, Philippians 3:20…).
This knowledge in itself empowers you to resist the devil, and the pull of the sinful nature, and to run away from temptations: so that you can cultivate your healings internally, and maintain it physically.
You need to know that your condition is not beyond the saving grace of what Christ accomplished when He cried out “IT IS FINISHED”(John 19:28-30)
#MyPrayer4you:
I speak hope to your spirit, healings to your mind, heart, body and bones.
I command your condition to become what God says about it and for God’s Word to gain ascendancy in your life.
All satanic interferences with your healings, deliverance, cognitive functioning, and whatever else is causing you problems, are to cease right now.
Receive the grace of God to live by God’s Word, so that you will be salt and light in this world, enjoy life supernaturally in all abundance, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Next will be deliverance Sessions for you. Watch out for part 2, same time, next day.
Back in the days when I lectured in a Theological College, there was this group of misinformed Believers, who strongly believed that salvation is by ‘faith and works’, which is contrary to the fundamental Doctrines of Salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9 which states that,
“By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV).
The very next verse tells us that we are ”created in Christ Jesus unto good works” (Ephesians 2:10).
Which signifies that the new creation in Christ has been created for good works.
Good Works are the evidence that we are born again.
Those who take a stand that God’s free gift of salvation requires personal effort, call God a liar.
Whereas, God already stated that any personal effort to attain righteousness, is like filthy rags to Him (Isaiah 64:6)
Nothing you can do can earn you salvation!
Although, It is futile to argue with those classes of self-righteous people because it is a mindset issue, we should also recognize it as a satanic strategy aimed at crippling faith in God and spiritual growth.
Satan keeps people busy with non-existent battles, and arguing over nonessentials. He is also a master of the art of persuasive arguments aimed at making you disobey God.
Do not be ignorant if his devices.
Run your race so that you will win a prize. winning Theological arguments will not put you in heaven.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved!
One of the reasons the Israelites of old suffered grossly, was because they were a ‘stiff-necked people’ (Exodus 33:3-5, 34:9).
When people are close-minded, they keep going in circles.
That was me, before I broke away from the religious traditions and searched the scriptures for myself.
Don’t be that person whose life is in a sorry state because of unbelief.
The power of sin over your life has been destroyed.
Christ manifested to destroy the works of the devil 1 John 3:8
You have been empowered to live righteously in this life (Roman 5:15-21, 2 Peter 1:3-4)
#PrayerPoints4Today:
*Thank God for the Salvation of your soul.
* Declare that sin have no control over you..
*Declare that you have been made righteous by Christ and that you refuse to go back to your past where you were a condemned sinner.
*Declare that you are a living and saved saint, who has been bought with a price, the precious blood of Christ , which is speaking better things on your behalf.
*Affirm that the chain of afflictions, sicknesses, witchcraft manipulations and projections, as well as, doctrines of devils, sin consciousness, and all altars of false righteousness and false beliefs, are destroyed today.
*Acknowledge that in the past, you allowed the burden of sin to make you feel unworthy, rejected, and unclean.
*Thank God for forgiveness of sins and the cleansing of all your unrighteousness.
*Affirm that you are God’s beloved, and worth the prize of God’s begotten Son to lay His life for you.
*Affirm that it is God who is working in you to do His will, and you are grateful that HE will always help you to not yield to temptation.
*Command all the voices of accusations to be silenced for the Blood is speaking justification, righteousness and holiness on your behalf.
* Boldly Say:
Not today satan,
I know who I am, there is no condemnation to me for I walk by the Spirit and the flesh has no control over me.
*I refuse to go into any religious bondage ever again, for the Master has set me free, and I am free Indeed.
*All the evil spirits trying to impose sin-consciousness on me are to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
I am a servant of righteousness and not a slave to sin, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

You owe your success in life and ministry to God, and not to your beauty, intelligence, height, weight, or the people you know!
Bible Base for today:
Romans 9:16-33
Spend some time today, to review your life, and let gratitude, well-up in you.
Not many intelligent, beautiful, strong and confident people are successful, have kids, have a great marriage or manage a successful business
But look at you today, the least among equals! See how far God brought you.
Where were the naysayers, and dream killers when God took you from the least and made you the greatest?
When God raises you up, in rank, character or power, no one can bring you down.
Don’t lose sleep worrying about the venom, power and vindictiveness of your foes.
Their plots, lies, slandering and manipulation cannot harm you.
Their busy-ness is futile. For it is written that “ those who challenge you will go down in defeat” (Read Isaiah 54:15 TPT)
Instead, spend time worshiping God for who He is, and has been to you.
He is taking you to perfection! Hallelujah.
Remember that nobody or the fiercest demon in hell can stop it.
#MyPrayer4you:
Today, I stand with you in prayer and thank God for the great promotions you have received in life.
And I declare that you shall excel in your career, workplace, relationship, businesses, and finances.
Mercy shall surround you as a shield, and grace and favor will continue to work for you.
All your tears of frustration and helplessness, are wiped away, and replaced with songs of thanksgiving and deliverance, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Personal Testimony:
Several years ago, I was having the worst years of my life. The more I prayed, the worse things were for me.
My Life was spiraling into a dark abyss and I did not want to go there.
I believed in my heart that God has a purpose for my life. I know that God has invested so much in me, and it seemed out of character for Him to just stand back and let His investments go to waste.
As I made one more attempt to tug at His mercy, I cried out, “God, please help me, am so tired ”
Then I heard God’s voice in my spirit say, “Ask Me to judge your situation”.
Wow!!!! That changed my perspective! I went ballistic with prayers that touched all aspects and facets of my life.
And my life changed as I worked with God and made the necessary lifestyle changes.
