Let us Pray:

Bible Base:

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 KJV

1).”Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

2).And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

3).But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

4).And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Join me in thanksgiving God for the grace to start well and to finish strong, despite opposition.

2). Pray supernatural healings for my right shoulders and arm which were sprained while doing garden work. 

3). Pray for all our online Christian groups and pages,  -that  all participants will honor Christ, share brotherly love, and use the platform to minister the Good News of Salvation, instead of spreading hate filled denominational dogmas and religious bigotry. 

4). Please release blessings on all our ministry partners- the Admins, Moderators and our support networks of family and friends, who support us spiritually, morally, materially and financially. 

a). Ask that God reward their diligence and supply all their needs before they arise. 

b) Bless their ministries with expansion and increase. 

c) Release grace and favor to keep working for them and their loved ones.

5). Speak blessings upon everyone who is connected and related to me by blood, by marriage and by faith.

a). Thank God for faithfully keeping all His promises, when He chose me for full time Christian  ministry.

b) Thank Him for protection, prosperity, and preservation of my heritage  as HE promised. 

I am all emotional as it dawn on me that it has  been 30 years of supernatural supplies without solicitations, and I’ve not had to beg, borrow, or steal since I left secular employment.

God has been good to us. His steadfast love never ceases.

6) Thank God for my darling husband, companion and friend. He’s been one of the best gifts from God to me, and I’m so grateful, that I have a partner with whom to do life together. 

7). Ask God to open doors for us for effective  ministry without adversaries.

a). Pray that the Word of God will grow mightily through us, and that God will add daily to His Church,  those who will be saved.

#93 Prayer Focus for Today: Perseverance Vs Persistence in Prayer. 

Perseverance Vs Persistence in prayer  involves shamelessly asking God for your needs until He responds favorably.

 No matter how long it takes or how hard it gets, you never give up because you know ‘Whose’ you are,  who you are, and you understand the importance of what you are asking for.

Bible Base: Romans 8:32 AMPC:

 “He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?”Romans 8:32 AMPC 

With that reassurance therefore, “let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]”Hebrews 4:16 AMP

Before we pray, let’s discuss how some Bible characters  persevered and persisted in 

1). Moses  fearlessly interceded on behalf of the Israelites, when God in anger wanted to destroy them- read Exodus 32: 1-14, and to understand the context, read Exodus chapters 32-34.

2)  Ezekiel presented a strong argument against divine instructions, and God relented and allowed an alternative- Read Ezekiel 4:12-15.

The above discussions between Ezekiel and God, transformed my prayer life, and I’m always prepared with facts about why HE should grant my requests in accordance with His Word. 

In Isaiah 41: 21, it says, “Present your case…Set forth your strongest points…”EHV

Read the full text – Isaiah 41:31-43:13

Read also Isaiah 1:18 where God actually wants us to come and reason with Him!

Remember that if you are born again,  God is your father. I’m sorry if you had an abusive relationship with your earthly father, who perverted fatherliness.

 But God is the best Father you can ever have. (Please don’t even let me start to tell you how loving,  kind, protective, and a disciplinarian God is). With God, you can never lack any good thing.

Finally, in Luke 18:1-8 is the parable of the persistent woman and the unrighteous judge, who because of her perseverance and persistence, acceded to her requests.

Let Us Pray:

Father God, thank You for your unfailing love that is as vast as the heavens, a your faithfulness that reaches to the clouds.

We are grateful that your righteousness is like majestic mountains and your judgments are like the deepest seas.

You,O God, preserves and protects us, and provides everything we need, even before the need arises.

Noone can compare to your excellence. 

Thank you for our world and for not allowing adverse weathering to destroy Humanity. 

We plead the Blood of Jesus for the lost and ask that your goodness will lead them to repentance.

Bless all those who have been reading  these prayer posts. Let your Word gain ascendancy in them, nullify all contrary words against them, and produce excellence in them also, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#71 Prayer Focus for Today:  Ease, Relief, and Times of Refreshing.

So many are near breaking points. It’s a thin line between going into depression and retaining sanity. 

Let’s just praise in prayers, and give vent to our emotions.

Father, thank you for your peace that surpasses all understanding, your endless loving kindness, and abundance of grace.

We come to you with those things in our heart that only you can see, understand and help with.

And, in accordance with your Word that says, 

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] “ (Matthew 11:28 AMPC),
We ask that you ease off the crushing weight of the burdens on our shoulders,  give us supernatural relief from these stresses, and send us times of Refreshing again.

Heal our hearts O God. 

Heal our finances and relationships.

Help us to navigate our workplaces with peaceful coexistence,  and not get into fruitless political arguments.

Help us O God, show us a token of your love, hold  us Father in your warm embrace, and renew a right spirit within us, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior,  September 20th 2024

#66 Prayer Focus for Today: That God crowns the year with goodness.

People of God,  the year is fast spent. Many are still grappling with life threatening issues and economic hardships . 

Let’s  Pray to God from His Word.

Bible Base: Psalm 65: 11-13:

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. (Psalm 65:11‭-‬13 KJV)

#prayerPoints4Today:

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

1).Prophesy over your life and affairs: proclaim that  there will be supernatural manifestations of God’s goodness,  excellence, promotion, and abundant supplies, as well as the extraordinary manifestations of the powerful presence of God in you, and all that pertains and relates to you. 

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

2).Declare that you are blessed beyond measure according to God’s riches, and you function in heavenly economics. 

3).Spend some time to worship God as you pray or sing in tongues. Let conviction flow from you. 

4).Affirm that joy floods your Soul, you have peace with prosperity,  and you are a blessing to the world,

5).Declare that  your life is an effective witness about the goodness of God, therefore,  the yokes of lack and limitations are destroyed. 

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

6).Finally, Thank God for the economic prosperity in your nation, city,  county and community.

7).Thank God that the plans and projections of the enemy to create artificial scarcity of foods have been foiled.

8).Thank God for showing up strong for us and frustrating the tokens of liars, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

God bless you for praying with us. Shalom from Hephzibah Christly,Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, September 15th 2024

#64 Prayer Focus for Today: Renewed Strength & Hope.

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.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, September 13th, 2024.

#54 Prayer Focus for Today: Enforcing healings(Your Part #2)

Caution: Don’t stop your prescribed meds, unless you have faith enough to start weaning you off them!

For some people, healings can be instantaneous, and for others it can come through a process.

Let your faith work for you.

Deliverance/Healings Procedures continue: 

Review Part #1 for continuity:

Bible Base: Proverbs 23:7

Healings start from the heart. 

1). It is important to renew your mind and to decide  to enforce the spiritual reality of your healings in your real life circumstances. 

1a).What you believe, you must confess and behave (Review Romans 10:8-10)

1b). Apply the Principle of agreement which  says, “if  you shall agree on earth about anything, it shall be done’ (Read Matthew 18:19)

1c).Agree with God’s Word that “ by his stripes you were healed” (See1 Peter 2:24)

If you believe that in your heart, then say it with your voice.

1d). NEVER Agree with any claim or with any bad report, condition, diagnosis,  etc . 

1e). Instead, PROCLAIM your healings, deliverance,  victory etc with “I have overcome…”

2) Put on the “breastplate of righteousness” (Ephesians 6:14) as follows:

2a). Decide to, and go ahead to FORGIVE everyone. Unforgiveness is corrosive- it slowly eats internally, and disables physically: You don’t need cancer, arthritis or mental disorders. So forgive as quickly you remember the offense.

The following scriptures will help you to forgive without waiting for apologies that may never come. (Job 21:25, Matthew 6:14,15, 18:21-35, 2 Corinthians 2:7-11,Ephesians 4:31, Hebrews 12:15, Colossians 3:13,19, Acts 8:23, Psalm 64:3, Lamentations 3:15…)

b). Ask the Holy Spirit to search your soul and rid you of all repressed memories, anger, etc. Read Psalm 139:28-29)  and    pray similarly 

c). Decide to live an intentional  higher life of righteousness- choose to:

… be quick to forgive,

…love everyone whether they are deserving or not, 

… always see the good in everyone. 

3).Read about the works of the flesh and the  fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:19-21, 22-26.

3b). From today, you’ll start a spiritual workout of your deliverance and healings, by committing to make choices that align with the fruit of the Spirit- which are actually the character of God.

As you resist the urge to act in the flesh,  the life -source of that sickness is cut off, and it dies!

When you yield to sinful desires, you feed evils and energize them to attack you.

Be wise my friend. Stop being self-destructive.

4).Never allow diagnosis and prognosis scare you! Instead, use them as weapons against the forces of evils. 

*Diagnoses are good, they expose what you are up against! 

How to use diagnoses to  enforce the realities of your new nature in Christ. 

a). Call out the diagnosis as if it’s a demon, state very clearly that you refuse to grant it further liberties to torment, oppress, vex, or demonize you.

b) Call out the diagnosis once again, and command it to get out of your life, your body, your bloodline,  home etc., for you refuse to accommodate it any longer. 

5). Shut all physical doors to sicknesses!

Much suffering can be avoided by knowledge, hence it is written that ‘through knowledge shall the just be delivered’ (Proverbs 11:9)

a). Learn everything about that sickness, the dietary needs, triggers to avoid, and prevention.

* Growing up, I was taught that “prevention is better than cure!”

 b)Maintain a high standard of personal and general hygiene. 

 God is very particular about cleanliness, hence he gave His people hygiene laws that require them to shave, wash body and clothings, bury poop, eat right, etc.

Read  Genesis 19:10, Deuteronomy 23:13, 3 John 1:2, Leviticus 11:1-47

It is important to Maintain inner purity as well as outward cleanliness:  Therefore, *shower regularly, *change your underwear, *do your laundry regularly,  *change your sheets and pillow cases,  and *eat right. 

Learn to eat foods that fight and not feed the illness!

God wants you well Spiritually, Soulically and physically (I Thessalonians 5:23, 3 John 1:2)

This is How I fight Recurring Symptoms:
a).Prayerfully, I exhaust all my arguments on the issue with God,  and simply accept the verdict that I am healed.
b). Rest in God: 

After doing all of the above in part #1 & 2, I refuse to entertain doubts or acknowledge the symptoms. 

Simply, I reassure myself that I am healed.  Then I tell the ache, or pain, or itch or whatever-

“Stop!  No room for you in my body! Get out! I’m healed, that’s all I know. “

Other times  I can say-

“What was that? Pain? Oh! Not today, just get out! I refuse to feel that! My body, you must function as “the healed!”

I keep on superimposing my beliefs over the signals my body sends to my brain.

I fight illnesses, even allergies, I fight too. I  refuse to share my body or space with them.

And to God’s glory,  I’m almost 70 years old, and I’m not on any Meds, no vaccines, only multivitamins.

People of God, sickness is not your portion if you are in Christ.

#MyPrayer4you 

*I command the power base of that sickness in your body and mind to be destroyed right now. 

*Be healed in your mind.

*Be healed in your body and bones.

*From today,  your body will refuse to accommodate any forms of sicknesses. 

*No diseases can thrive in your body, for you are a carrier of the Holy God, and you are Holy unto God

*I proclaim that the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the law of sin and death”

*All the forces of evils working through diseases,  and negatives against you, are to leave you and your bloodline at once.

*From today, you shall live with the consciousness that you are victorious over all illness,  disease,  and this world by your faith in Christ Jesus, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ I pray.

Prayer Goals:

Review and Restoration of Godly standards so that my life will line up with His perfect will and purposes.

Bible Base: 

Genesis 18:25

Jeremiah 31 

Romans 8:29

According to James many prayers are unanswered ‘because you ask amiss’ James 4:3. 

And we know also that the Holy Spirit helps us to pray according to God’s will (Romans 8:26-27).

This prayer will help you pray strategically and  effectively, because All my prayers are done by promptings of the Holy Spirit.

Who this prayer is for:

If you really have no idea how to proceed any further with your life, finances, marriage,  children, relationships, etc, because of ill-luck, illnesses, disappointments, impending financial crises, etc, continue reading.

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.

Your Part:

You must be ready to work on your issues with God, as He guides you into how to live a life that will align with His will and purposes for you. 

Part 2 : Be ready to work out your Deliverance.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Thank God for the salvation of your Soul, and for His grace that enables you to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 8:29)

2). Reaffirm your faith in Him, admit that you have not done righteously, and affirm that you receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness – 1 John 1:9

3) Present your issues to Him, e. g:

3a). Ask Him to review/judge your Health, for HE is the Great Physician.

3b). Mention the Sicknesses, symptoms, diagnoses, prognosis, etc.

3c). Reference to His Word in Exodus 15:26, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24

3d). If as you are reading the Bible references, you are convicted in spirit of what you did wrong to attract the presenting issues, repent immediately, and write it down for follow-up! (Be ready to work on you!)

3e). Then appropriate (claim/personalize) the Finished Work of Christ (Read Romans 5:21).

3f). Ask that His mercy should prevail over judgment, and thank Him for bringing correction into your life. 

affirm that He is working in you both to will, and to do His good pleasure.   

3g). Declare that in Him you live, move, and have your being, therefore, HE has full reins(control) of your life, to make it align with His will and purposes for you.

 And simply say, Father,  do right by me, you are righteous, and I am your righteousness in Christ Jesus 

3h) Thank Him for the supernatural healings of your body,  bones, mind,  sight,  teeth, heart, and whatever health challenges you were having.

Believe in your heart that God has done right by you: 

Change your language from “I have…., to, ‘I WAS diagnosed with…but NOW, my healing is done in Christ, and I’m Overcoming the symptoms.”

Read 1 John 5:4 – we are overcomers!

3i) Spend some time singing songs of worship and  praises to him.

3j) Don’t go back to the old lifestyle, change eating habits and lifestyle, so that your condition will not worsen (Read Matthew 12:43-45)

Prayer Focus for Today: Get rid of slander (Part 1)

Going forward with yesterday’s Prayer Focus on “Grace to keep Making Right Choices’, we have to get rid of slander as God’s Word commands in  Ephesians 4:31:

“Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). Ephesians 4:31 AMPC

Slander is derived from the Greek word ‘diabolos’, 

Slanderer describes satan, who is the personification of evils. 

Slander effectively  describes some of satan the devil’s activities against God, and Humanity ( See Matthew 4:8-11, Revelation 12:9). 

Slander involves weaponizing falsehood in order to malign, defame, or destroy another person’s reputation, for your own benefits, also include gossiping,  backbiting, destructive criticism, and related evils.

Slander is deeply rooted in pride, delusions,  anger, unforgiveness, ungodly ambitions, resentment. jealousy, false self image, etc, and originates from an evil and wicked heart.

Slander opens doors for evil spirits, to use humans to perpetuate acts of violence, against other humans, which results in death of humans and destruction of properties. 

If you are a slanderer, you are satan’s human agent, and satan is fulfilling his mission to kill, steal and destroy humans through you.

Enough! Stop already! Refuse to be satan’s agent!

Slander is a common denominator not only among the political class, but also among Christians. 

Paul encountered it in his day,  hence he wrote in Philippians 1:15 (AMPC) that some

“… [actually] preach Christ (the Messiah) [for no better reason than] out of envy and rivalry (party spirit), but others are doing so out of a loyal spirit and goodwill.”.

I have had my fair share of character defamation, by some internet  Christian ministers, who slandered my reputation, in order to have people leave our ministry pages and groups, to join theirs.

The reason their slander has been working against them is because my focus is on spreading the Gospel. While theirs has been on building a followership, and a name without regard to how they hurt others. 

I am not delusional. I do know  that the Mission is to preach the Gospel to all creatures. 

I know  also that God rewards diligence. 

Hence we do not solicit for financial aids in all our ministries, and are focused on doing God’s Work, when, where, and how HE called us to do it.

We work with Biblical Principles.

My attitude is similar to Paul’s who clarified his earlier statement as follows:

“[16] The latter [proclaim Christ] out of love, because they recognize and know that I am [providentially] put here for the defense of the good news (the Gospel). [17]  But the former preach Christ out of a party spirit, insincerely [out of no pure motive, but thinking to annoy me], supposing they are making my bondage more bitter and my chains more galling. [18]  But what does it matter, so long as either way, whether in pretense [for personal ends] or in all honesty [for the furtherance of the Truth], Christ is being proclaimed? And in that I [now] rejoice, yes, and I shall rejoice [hereafter] also. See Philippians 1:16-18, AMPC.

When you slander others, you attract destruction, and tell satan that you are in his camp.

Prayer Action:

Conduct a soul search- Apply the principle of Psalm 139: 23-24

Psalms 139:23-24 NLT

[23] Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. [24] Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

I earnestly pray that your mind will be renewed and you will truly get rid of slander in your life.

See part 2 for deliverance prayers- same time tomorrow.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, July 29th 2024

Prayer Focus for Today: Grace to keep Making Right Choices.

The Apostle Paul said in 

1 Corinthians 13:11 AMPC,   “When I was a child, 

I talked like a child, 

I thought like a child, 

I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man,

 I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.”

Rather unfortunately, not many people grow into adulthood, mentally or emotionally, even though they look like an adult physically.

But their lack of mental development becomes evident, when they continue to make wrong choices, and expect different outcomes.

The choices you made yesterday are the reality of where you are living today.

 And the choices you make today will determine  the outcome of your tomorrow.

A major principle in life is that ‘as long as this earth remains, seedtime and harvest will never cease’.  ‘And what you sow is what you harvest’ ( Read Genesis 8:22, Galatians 6:7).

Because God knows how life-defining our choices are, He laid out very plainly in His Word:

  “I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live” Deuteronomy 30:19 AMPC.

Your choices not only affect you, it crosses generation lines to affect your descendants. Just as the choices made by your parents piloted your suffering, sicknesses, sin, shame, etc.

Even though most spiritual, and mental health issues, have their root in parental choices, you have the power to stop it, from affecting your children, and the generations following.  

For example, if your parents were idolaters, gossips, planless- spenders, liberals,  stiff-necked etc, you have unwittingly learned their mannerisms, responses, attitude, behavior etc,. And it has become ingrained in you, 

You have become their ‘mini-me.’ not only have you inherited genes,  you are also the recipient of their failures, curses,  blessings , etc, unless you intentionally chart a different course for your life.

Your upbringing, or family orientation become evident in your career choice,  marriage, diet, problem solving skills, etc.

Even if you are born again, 

unless you take a stand against those learned evil behaviors, by appropriating the Finished Work of Christ, and intentionally make  right choices, the circle of evil won’t stop.

The power to change the narrative  and direction of your life and nation, is in the choices you make and your commitment to change. 

The same principles apply to nations who continue to execute policies that are contrary to God’s Word: the circle of evil will worsen- it never gets better. 

We are at a time in the world where evil is gaining ground: because Believers are making choices based on selfishness, party affiliations, and candidate biases. 

All these strengthen the circle of evils and unleash economic hardship, sufferings, slavery, rebellions, sexual immoralities, etc,  on the generations following.

Before you act, stop and think. 

On who or what will you be basing your choice on- selfish-self-interest, biases, affiliations, or on the Word of God.?

As Christians, we should not be under bondage to the spirit of error to continue in its oppression (Read 1 John 4:1-6).

Instead, we should prayerfully counter all lies with the Spirit of Truth and work out our salvation with awe and trembling.

Refuse to be victimized again!

 Deliverance from the spirit of error:

1). Thank God for the ability to make right choices  based on your new status as a child of God.

2).  Acknowledge your biases, selfishness, Bigotry, and projectionism, etc

2b). affirm God’s forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness. 

3. Command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, the spirit of error, and all the evil spirits influencing wrong decision making, selective amnesia, and disobedience, as well as those confusing, manipulating,  and controlling your choice making abilities.

4). Affirm that the Spirit of Truth is at work in your life and that God holds the World by the Word of His power and you are obedient to Him

5). Declare that you have chosen to serve God with your life, for life, and have been redeemed; therefore sins, curses, failures, rejection, sicknesses, mediocrity and all other evils cannot cross generational lines to torment, oppress or afflict you and yours.

 6). Declare that Abraham, your ancestor by faith, chose to believe in God, and he became known as the father of faith,  and through him you are now able to participate in the blessings of God in Him (See Genesis 15:6,Romans 4:3-5).

7). Pray for the people of your nation  and command the activities of the spirit of error to stop at once.

 9). Release upon your nation, state, county, city, and community, the anointing of God’s Spirit that enables righteousness.

10). Declare that the reproaches of sin are rolled away from your nation and righteousness now reigns 

11). Thank God that as the spiritual descendant of Abraham, you have chosen 

 life and blessings.

12). Proclaim that you have withdrawn support from those who are vehemently opposed to the Word of God, so that you and your bloodlines will not participate in the outcomes of their sins, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.
