The Righteous is Blessed

 

Bible Nugget 0407 [Psalm 1 v 1 Amplified]

 

1BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.

 

Rejoice because the promise of God is to bless you as you walk with him in righteousness and true holiness. You shall be the envy of all who do not know or wish to serve our loving heavenly Father. Wait on the Lord and see what he will do in your life. He will send blessing of salvation, healing, deliverance, spiritual and material prosperity abundantly upon you.  He will not delay. He is always on time. When the wicked are saying there is casting down, continue to say there is lifting up. Be blessed today in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

 

Prayer Nugget 0407

1.      Oh LORD, remember your covenant of blessing on anyone who calls on you with a true heart of righteousness and holiness. Rain down your blessing upon my life in Jesus Name.

2.       LORD, fill the field of my life with the dew of heaven. Let your river of blessing flow into every department of my life in Jesus Name. Amen.

Covenant keeping God

Bible Nugget 0403[Isaiah 59: 21 (KJV)]

21As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

God is a covenant keeping God. He made a covenant with Abraham and has kept it ever since for some 4000 years. He will keep his covenant with you if you include yourself in the word “them” in the above verse. The blessings of God will not depart from you and your household in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

Prayer Nugget 0403

Oh Lord, keeper of covenant, thank you for giving me your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your word that you watch jealously to fulfill it. Lord, fill my heart with your word and let my mouth be an outlet for your word. Lord, keep your covenant over my life and my children and children’s children according to your promises in Jesus Name. Amen.

The sanctification Process II – Your Responsibility

Bible Nugget 0402 [I Thessalonians 4: 1-8 KJV]
1Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

 2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

 3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

 5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

 6That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

 7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

 8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

The sanctification process is the responsibility of every believer after new birth in Christ. The will of God stated in verses 3 and 7 in the above scripture is that we should live a sanctified and holy life. There should be no excuses. During repentance every believer should take stock of his life and make sure he repents of every known sin. No extra baggage of sin should be taken in the life-long Christian journey with Christ. The commonly known sins which will prevent a person from going to heaven include the works of the flesh listed in Galatians 5: 19-21 (read it for yourself) and Rev 21:8

 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

However, many believers gloss over many sins as if they do not matter. Some even believe the theory of heretics who profess that “once saved, saved forever”. The truth is that no sin should be left handing over your head as a believer. The last verse of Galatians 5:21 makes one to understand that the lists of sins that will prevent someone from inheriting the kingdom of God are too many to recount. I took a stock of sins in my own life from a Prayer book, which actually should serve every believer as a deliverance manual, written by some Ministers in Christian Word Ministry. They have a free version of the manual on the Ministry’s website. Please visit their website www.christianword.org  and in the Box Prayer Book  click  the PDF or Word Format of the Part 2 Download Prayer Book,. Read the” A” to “Z” list of sins for yourself on pages 35-38 of the book and it will be clear to you the common sins easily omitted or brushed aside, not knowing that any of them could prevent someone from inheriting the Kingdom of God.

For example the “A” list of sins in the book includes the following:

abandonment, abduction, abhorrence of holy things, abhorring judgment, abomination, abortion, abusiveness, accusation, adulterous lust, adultery, afflicting others, aggravation, agitation, aiding and abetting sin, alcoholism, all unrighteousness, anger, animosity, anxiety, apprehension, argumentativeness, arrogance, assaults, astrology, atheism, avariciousness,

The “D” lists are:

dealing treacherously, deceit, deception, defamation, defeatism, defiantness, defiling, degrading, dejection, demon consciousness, demon worship, denying Jesus and His resurrection, dependencies, depravity, desecration of holy vessels, desires of this world, despair, despising God, His Name and His Word, despising spouse, despising neighbors, despising parents, despitefulness, despondency, destruction of the innocent, saints and holy things;  deviousness, disagreements, disbelief, discord, discouragement, discrediting, disdain, disgust, dishonesty, disliking the love of good men, disobedience, disobedient to God, disorderly, disputing, disregard of God’s work, disrespectfulness of God, disruptiveness,  dissension,  distantness, distrust, divining, divining for water with rods, divining for money, division, divorce, domineeringness, double-talking,  double mindedness, doubt, dread, driving men from true worship and inheritance,  drug abuse, drunkenness, duplicity, drinking blood,

And the “F” lists include

failure in duty,  failure to glorify God, false burdens, false compassion, falsehood, false praise, false responsibility, fantasizing, fantasy lust, fault finding, fear, fear of accusation, fear of condemnation, fear of disapproval, fear of man, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of reproof, fetishes, fighting, flattery, fleshliness, fooling self and/or others, foolishness,  following any ways of man, folly, forbidding the preaching of God’s Word, forcefulness, forgetting God and His work, fornication, forsaking the assembly, fortune telling, fraud, fretting, frigidity,  frustrations, fury,

These are just examples of listed sins. There are other demonic sins listed in pages 38-40 of the book and it will do you a world of good to pray out of your life every sin using the book as a guide. As verse 4 of the day’s bible nugget says, it is your responsibility; someone else cannot do it for you. The challenge is yours.

1Thessalonians 4:4

 

 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

Carry out a check-up of your life. In fact, you should do this from time to time and run through the list of sins, for example in the reference prayer manual stated above and see areas of your shortcoming.  The LORD will empower you to live a Holy and sanctified life as you pour out your heart to him in repentance. Pray every known sin out of your life and appropriate to yourself the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

 

 

1 Corinthians 1:30

30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

This is the way to way to go in the sanctification process to make you heaven bound! The LORD help you as you do this in Jesus Name. Amen.
 
Prayer Nugget 0402
Before you start praying, sing this song or any other song on holiness such as the Hymn Holy Holy Holy.
Song:
LORD prepare me, A sanctuary, Pure and Holy, Tried and True, with Thanksgiving, I will be a living, sanctuary for you.

Or the classical hymn  Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

 

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

 

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

 

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

[Reginald Heber, 1826]

Prayer Points

 

  1. Oh Lord empower me to live a life of holiness unto you. I repent of every sin I have committed in the past, known (list ——- every known sin) and unknown in Jesus Name.
  2. Satan I address you, I am not a candidate for hell fire. My destination is heaven. I command you to pack your evil load and get out of my life in Jesus Name.
  3. Oh LORD encase me with the purifying fire of you Holy Spirit. Every demonic power sent from the pit of Hell to deceive me, be roasted by fire in the name of Jesus.
  4. Begin to thank God for the Grace given to you to live a victorious life of holiness in Jesus name.

The Lord Himself Shall Descend With a Shout

 

Bible Nugget 0319 [1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 KJV]

15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

How prepared are you for the second coming of Christ? This is not a fairy tale. The Bible Prophesied that he was coming the first time and he did. Just as he came the first time unannounced and not accepted that he came,  the second coming though more spectacular, will catch a lot of people by surprise.  Even believer’s who are not watchful will be left behind. Let us review his first coming briefly. John 1 v 10-12 summarizes his first coming, how he was received, and the few people who received his first coming, then and even now. He did not disguise himself. He told everyone who he was and yet they did not and many people today do not accept who he is that he is the Son of God sent to restore their relationship back to God.

John 1: 10-12

 10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

 11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

After Jesus died and resurrected, the bible says the disciples saw him intermittently and fellowshipped with him before he ascended to heaven. These included over 500 brethren who saw him at the same time, so it is not just individual visits. Except for Paul who saw him after ascension, all other visits to the disciples was before his ascension. Paul writing in

1 Corinthians 15:3-9

3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

 5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

 6After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

 7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

 8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

  9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

A time came when he must leave back to heaven and he did. Recall, angels are ministering Spirits. They ushered him back to heaven with pomp and fanfare, because he as the Captain of the Lord of host had come and conquered all the enemies including the devil (Lucifer), the principalities, powers and rulers of darkness of this world. Even the last enemy (death) could not stop him. He went back to heaven, and is right now seated at the Right Hand of God. Two angels who stood by the disciples as the disciples watched him go to heaven told them not to marvel that Jesus was surely coming again.

Acts 1:9-10

9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

 10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

 11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

He came with carrot the first time. This second coming will be with a stick. He came as a lamb the first time. The second coming will be as the king of kings ready to render justice and vengeance.  To believers his second coming will be to reward them. To unbelievers who will be alive when he comes, it is to give them a final chance to repent but that time not by Grace but by their own works. It will literarily be like pulling chestnuts out of the fire to be saved and qualify for heaven. Many people will not be able to bear the wrath of the devil as it unleashes evil because he knows its time is short. They will take the mark of the beast. It will not be pleasant to live on the earth then because all the candle lights (believers) are gone to heaven.

 

Rev 13: 15-18

 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

 16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The mark of the beast is 6 6 6, (v15). This is revelation teaching and we will not get into it, but the bible advises that be wise and avoid that time when only that mark will grant you the opportunity to make choices of your own for living.  The easiest way to do this is to be prepared for Jesus’ return now.  So today do not take your preparedness lightly. The night is far spent. Accept Jesus today as Lord and Saviour if you have not, and if you have, be prayerful and watchful like the five wise virgins who had their lamps ready for the bridegroom’s arrival. In closing this sermon nugget, lets hear the words of Jesus himself concerning his second coming. The story is in Matthew 25:1-13.

1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

 13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

 

Prayer Nugget 0319

  2. I purify myself because I have the hope of resurrection in the name of Jesus. Lord keep this hope alive in my heart always in Jesus name.
  3. I shall be prepared with my garments spotless in the name of Jesus.  I shall be like the five wise virgins in the name of Jesus.
  4. Lord preserve my soul from all evil. Every power wishing for my spiritual downfall, receive the stones of fire and be disgraced in Jesus Name. Amen.
  5. Lord give me visions and raptures of heaven always in Jesus name. I set my affections on the things of heaven in Jesus name. Amen.
  6.

Tower of Babel Experience: Whose voice do you hear?

 

Bible Nugget 0317 [1 Cor. 14 v10; 1 Timothy 4:1-2 KJV]

 

1 Corinthians 14:10

10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

 

1 Timothy 4:1-2

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Today our nugget study is, what is the origin of languages and how significant are the voices one hears? The human mind is bombarded with different thoughts in its quiet moments. In other words, there are many voices competing for your attention. In broad categories these are your own voice, other people’s voices, the devil and evil spirits voices, and the voice of God ministered to your spirit through his word or by the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. However one voice that you must hear and pay constant attention to is the voice of God.  In the world we have many languages and if you have ten people in a room all speaking their language and trying to convince the other person on a very important point, how frustrating it will be for the participants. You as an eleventh person will close your ears and run away from the room.

 Think about this, how about bringing these ten people into the same room with each person speaking the follwing languages without an interpreter: English, French, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Afrikaan, German, Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek. How confusing and frustrating if these people set out to achieve a common goal.

This scenario must have played out when pride and disobedience by those who lived when the earth was one language, in unity, challenged the omnipotent power of God. Their scheme was to build a tower to reach heaven and make a name for themselves that they can do whatever the Almighty can do. Their theory was “whatever God can do, we can do therefore we are equal”. They banded together, and united with one voice to make the natural supernatural, to break down the laws of nature which God set in motion when he created the world. In Genesis chapter 1, God created the world we see by the spoken word. These people had one voice, and they chose to use it to cause disorder to God’s created heaven lies. God had no choice but to confound their language (v7).  This story also bothers on ethics. Not every invention by man is moral. These inventors thought they could be original in their creation but their target invention was evil.

 

Gen 11:1-9

1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

 4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

 

The question at this moment is; how significant is the voice you hear? Do you hear the devil’s voice or even man’s voice in preference to God’s voice? God speaks to everyman’s conscience. Do not silence the voice of God because it becomes more and more difficult to hear God’s voice turning such mind to become reprobate or degenerate, preferring evil to good. Turn your inner radio on and let it be tuned to heaven’s frequency so you can hear the voice of God.

 

Rom 1:28-32

 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

 31Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

 

For a believer, discerning God’s voice is not optional if you want to live a successful Christian life in these last days. The most common way to hear the voice of God is by meditating on word of God and let the Holy Spirit minister his word directly to your spirit. When you hear the voice obey and the voice will become clearer to your ear the next time. Hence two important points in our conclusion.

 

•         We need to hear the voice of God clearly and says, yes this is the voice of God, not my own voice or the devil’s voice.

 

•         The Spirit of God helps us discern the voice of God. We need to train our ears to hear the voice of God like Samuel did.

 

1 Thesis 5:19, Paul warns: “19Quench not the Spirit.” [KJV]

 

19Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit; [Amplified]

 

Eph 4:30

30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

 

  

 

Prayer Nugget 0317

  1. I bind every spirit of pride and every contrary spirit to the Holy Spirit. Be bound with chains and fetters and command you to return to your abyss estate in Jesus name.
  2. I silence every voice of disobedience. Be subject to the word of God in the name of Jesus.
  3. Oh Lord, cleanse my mind from every thought that is contrary to your word. My heart shall be a good soil to sow the word of God in Jesus Name.
  4. I refuse to be controlled by any evil voice emanating from acquaintances, friends, neighbors, and family members in the name of Jesus.

Joy Like a River

 

 

 

Bible Nugget 0316

Joy is like a river.  Just like a river can crested, a person’s joy can be full. A river also can overflow its banks, so is joy. Joy can be very full and begin to overflow, becoming affectious to those around. It is also true that a river could dry up in the time of severe drought. This is the case of those who experience spiritual dryness or those who have no joy in their Christian lives.  So the joy-stick level potentially can be at the low or high. When a river is dry, every Tom, Dick and Harry can step into it and begin to walk all over it, not knowing it also has destructive power. They should have come around when it is full or overflowing and try to walk allover it.  Jesus said, anyone that believes in Him out of that person’s belly will flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the Holy Ghost. So the Holy Ghost is the source of that River in your belly (or heart).

 

John 7:37-39

37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

 38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

 39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Before Jesus left back to heaven he said they should wait until they receive the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit came fully on the day of Pentecost and see how beautiful and affectious the lives of these ordinary men and women became. 120 disciples who had been tarrying in the upper room waiting as Jesus had said before ascending to heaven became filled with that River of Power. The disciples obeyed Jesus and waited in prayers in an upper room. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit arrived and became resident in the hearts of these first fruit disciples. The Spirit came like a mighty rushing wind and they began to speak in tongues.

Acts 1:4, 8

4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

 8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

 

Acts 2:1-4

1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Before the Holy Spirit can fill a person, the person has to be convicted of his sins and repent. The Holy Spirit came in the fullness of His Power on Peter and some 3000 people were saved in the first revival sermon of the church. Peter in his sermon preached that the Holy Spirit arrival is a fulfillment of prophecy which the Lord showed to King David of the death, resurrection, ascension and glorification of Jesus. The joy opf Jesus became full in heaven because he had completed the earthly assignment he had from God The Father.

Acts2, 25-28, 33

 25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

 26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

 27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

 28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Brethren, the Holy Spirit is very important in our individual walk with God as individuals and as a corporate body. The Holy Spirit is the one that does the signs and wonders that accompanies the preaching of the gospel. The Holy Spirit is the seal of our redemption [Eph 4:30]. The Blood of Jesus is the “gum” and the Holy Spirit is the seal on your forehead as a believer.

For unbelievers, they should not attempt to trample upon the Holy Spirit and walk all over it like the Tom, Dick and Harry at the beginning of our sermon nugget. Because the Holy Spirit can also make the unbeliever’s life miserable on earth before the person is sent to hell at death. Jesus warned blasphemers particularly.

Matthew 12:31-32

31Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

 32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

So today if you hear his voice as the scripture says, do not harden your heart. Repent of your sins if you are an unbeliever, or if you are believer of any known sin. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and begin to seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit Power in your life. He will come and fill you with his Power and your joy will become full like a river.

 

Prayer Nugget 0316

1.       Prayer of Repentance: Oh Lord forgive me of all my sins. Sins committed knowingly or unknowingly. Blot them out of my life with your precious blood, Lord Jesus. Become Lord and Master of my life in Jesus Name. Amen

2.       Holy Spirit come into my life. Bring me into the joy of salvation in Jesus name.

3.       Holy Spirit purify my heart. Thoroughly garnish my heart with your cleansing fire in Jesus name.

4.       Oh Lord, let the joy of the Holy Spirit flow in my heart fully with the Rivers of Living water in Jesus name.

5.       Lord as I tarry and wait on you, come in the fullness of your power in Jesus name.
