Prayer Lead-in

Dear Lord Jesus, Lord of Hosts, My Sovereign Lord, My Provider Jahovah Jireh, My Healing Jahovah Rapha, My Peace Jahovah Shalom, Hallowed, Indescriable are YOU and the Wonderful Works and Benefits You Bestow upon me Everyday! Daily You load me with Your Benefits, New Mercies You Pour-out on me when I wake-up every morning!!!! I Thank You and Praise You for This Day, Because God, You said, That This is the Day that YOU HAVE Made and that I should REJOICE ALL DAY Because everything I can possibly NEED YOU HAVE PUT IN THIS DAY FOR ME; My Resources, My Relationships, My Directions, My Peace, My Joy, My Excitement, My Health, Your-Mindset and Your Unlimited Provisions, Protections, Health, Peace and Prosperity for me, my children, my family and those connected to me. You Said, to Come to You Bodly and With Complete Confidence that I will receive what I am praying-for because You are the person Praying what You want through me, and I am praying Your Word and You said, Your Word CAN NOT return to You Void and You said, to Trust in You with ALL OF MY HEART AND ALL OF MY MIND AND YOU-WILL DIRECT MY PATH - YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT and "YOU-WILL" keep me wealthy, healthy and saved to DO YOUR WILL (3 John 3). YOU SAID, THE SAME POWER AND AUTHORITY That raised Jesus from the dead is IN ME. You Said, the same miracles that Jesus Performed, I can Perform and I can do greater, I have the same Glory that Jesus had living on earth sinlessly. YOU SAID, If I came to You FIRST and Acknowledged-You and Sought-You and Your Kingdom FIRST, that YOU WOULD ADD EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED. YOU said, If I Acknowledged YOU in ALL OF MY WAYS TODAY, that YOU WOULD DIRECT MY PATH AND YOU WOULD TELL ME WHAT TO DO. You Said, that You would go before me and make my path straight today. You said, to keep Your Word before my eyes and to meditate on Your Word day and night and that I WOULD make my-way Prosperous (by being completely obedient to Your Word). This Prayer Serves as a Point of Contact, Agreement and Declaration between You and I because You said, to Get In You, resist satans thoughts and MY WORDS, ACTIONS, DECLARATIONS AND DECISIONS would over-ride and cancel-out EVERYTHING satan tries to do to me which is how I resist him and his demons and they flee seven different ways. My attack on satan's kingdom which is "My Knowledge, My Power and My Authority" to resist, to Condemn, to Bind, and to Cancel every word, thought and action he causes, which makes him flee and his weapons won't ever prosper in my life or the lives of those connected to me. This Prayer and this Communication is one of the ways that I get into You, to Get my mind centered and focused on You: 1) So that I can prepare for anything satan tries to do to me to get my mind off of YOU, and to get my mind off of Who I am in YOU AND WHAT YOU HAVE NEED OF ME TO DO TODAY - RIGHT NOW TO BRING YOUR KINGDOM TO EARTH. I KNOW THIS PRAYER DOES NOT INFORM YOU OR CAUSE YOU TO MOVE - THIS PRAYER CAUSES ME TO ALIGN MY MIND, MY THOUGHTS AND MY ACTIONS WITH WHO I AM IN YOU, WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY FINISHED FOR ME AND HOW YOU INTEND TO MANIFEST IN THE EARTH WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE IN THE SPIRIT / HEAVEN. THIS PRAYER IS MY WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION OF satan's kingdom, his suggestions, his methods, his thoughts, his storms, his distractions and his demons. YOU HAVE ALREADY GIVEN ME THE VICTORY OVER him and anything he can present to me. This Prayer is my way of DECREEING, DECLARING AND RECITING YOUR WORDS AND YOUR WILL AND YOUR MIND into the Atmosphere so that: 1) My Mind Hears You, Understands You, Obeys You and Responds to You Only and keeps me aligned and in Harmony with You, Time and Eternity. 2) So That, Your (My Angels) Hear and Respond to YOU. 3) And so that, all demons and principalities hear and respond to YOU (through me)! 4) AND SO THAT, I REMEMBER AND ACT-OUT WHO I AM IN YOU CHRIST AT ALL TIMES! You Said, In You, I Move, I Live and I have my very being! It's through You that I exist! You said, I must live by Your Faith, The Faith of Jesus Christ! You said, It takes Faith + Plus Patience in order to receive ALL OF YOUR PRECIOUS PROMISES! You said, You are the Vine and I am the Branch and All that You Are in ALL OF YOUR FULLNESS (wealth, health, wisdom, love, courage and protections etc) is continually streamed, flowed and fed to me without interruption as a branch that is connected to YOU ALWAYS. You Said, this body is not mine, its YOURS and You made me for Your use! You said, to let Your Mind be in me as Your Mind is in Jesus Christ! You said to meditate on You and Your Word Day and Night and I will make my way prosperous! And I will also despise the "so-called" shame and humiliation that comes with being completely obedient to You (as You Did Jesus) as You stated in Hebrews 11:2. I Thank You and Praise You for allowing me to Know, to Understand and to Live-Out the Fact and Truth that I AM THE TEMPLE OF PROVISION, I am the Temple of HEALING, I am the Temple of Shalom Peace, I am the Temple of Courage, I am the Temple of Integrity, I am the Temple of Character and Honor, I am the Temple of Wisdom and Knowledge, I am the Temple of Determination, Endurance and Excellence and I AM THE TEMPLE OF AGAPE LOVE! AND EVERYDAY, I WILL PUT AN EXPECTED DEMAND ON MY WEALTH, HEALTH AND SALVATION Because You said, it is finished and these three Promises are YOUR TOP PRIORITIES FOR ME, SO THAT I can do the work on earth that You need me to do! God, You said, “If, I remain in You and Your Words Remain in me, I can ask-decree-declare whatever I wish, and it will be done for me, because IT'S YOU DOING THE ASKING, DECREEING AND DECLARING THROUGH ME! YOUR GLORY IS VISABLE TO THE WORLD WHEN YOU ANSWER AND MANIFEST MY PRAYERS AND WHEN “WHAT-I-DO” PRODUCES YOUR GOOD-SUCCESS! Right Now, by Your Authority and In the Name of Jesus, I quiet (I shut-down) the noise, the anxieties, the concerns, the unknowns and my own thoughts, so that I can hear Your "Still Small Voice" and Your Rhema Word for what You need to do or have told me to do right now.

DESPAIRING OF LIFE - Paul & his companions

Jun 7
2 min read

My Daily Life Parallels this passage.


 

2 Corinthians 1:8. Paul describes a severe affliction he and his companions experienced in Asia, stating they were "pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life" (KJV) due to being overwhelmed beyond their power.


  • 2 Corinthians 1:8–9): Paul explains, "For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death" (ESV).

  • Purpose of the Despair: Paul explains in verse 9 that this extreme situation was allowed so that they would "not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead".

  • The Cause: While not explicitly detailed, scholars believe this refers to extreme persecution or life-threatening danger, such as a riot in Ephesus or an incident of imprisonment.


 

PAUL'S AFFLICTIONS

Paul the Apostle endured extreme physical, emotional, and spiritual afflictions, including five Jewish scourgings, three beatings with rods, stoning, three shipwrecks, frequent imprisonment, and dangerous journeys. He consistently faced hunger, thirst, sleeplessness, cold, and persecution from both enemies and false believers while carrying the "daily pressure" of his concern for all the churches.


Physical and External Trials (2 Corinthians 11:23-27)

  • Violent Punishments: Five times he received 39 lashes from the Jews; three times beaten with rods; once stoned and left for dead.

  • Imprisonment: Spent over five years in various prisons for his faith.

  • Dangerous Journeys: Survived three shipwrecks, including being adrift at sea for a night and a day.

  • Constant Threats: Faced threats from robbers, Gentiles, his own countrymen, and "false brothers" in both cities and wilderness.

  • Physical Deprivation: Suffered frequent hunger, thirst, cold, nakedness, and lack of sleep.


Internal and Spiritual Afflictions

  • "Thorn in the Flesh": Described as a messenger of Satan that buffeted him to prevent pride; many suggest it was a physical ailment (like eye trouble), which God refused to remove, promising grace instead.

  • Mental/Emotional Strain: Expressed daily anxiety and care for all the churches he founded.

  • Despair of Life: In Asia, he experienced such severe tribulation that he "despaired of life itself".


The Purpose of Paul's Suffering

Paul viewed these trials as a way to demonstrate God's strength through his weakness, allowing him to share in the sufferings of Christ. These trials served to prove his apostleship and allowed him to endure hardship for the sake of the Gospel
