Praying Scripture!!




So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.                                                 Isaiah 55:11 (AMP)

                                                                   


I have always believed in praying scripture. Equally important to me is personalizing them.  For clarity, I will share a couple of examples. Perhaps you might want to consider trying this. 

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.  And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering of sacrifice to God.  Ephesians 5:5 (ESV)

                                                      (Personalized)

Therefore, I am an imitator of God,  As a beloved child.  And I walk in love, as Christ loved me and gave himself up for me, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  For we are to God  the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.                                                                                            2 Corinthians 2:14-15  (NKJV)                       

                                    

(Personalized)

'Thank you Lord that You recognize the FRAGRANCE of Christ on my life, and that when I enter a room, other Believers recognize HIS FRAGRANCE on my life, and those who are not Believers recognize it as well, feeling convicted & drawn more toward You.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But seek first the kindgdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)

(Personalized)
'As I seek You, Your Kingdom and righteousness first, You have promised to add whatever I need to me.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                             Deuteronomy 28:2-14                                                

                                                  (Personalized)

'And all these blessings shall come upon ME and overtake ME because I obey the voice of the Lord MY God.  I am the head & not the tail.   I am above & not beneath.   I am a lender, not a borrower.  My comings & goings are blessed.  My enemies are defeated.   My storehouses are blessed.   The fruit of my body are blessed...AND...IT...IS...SO, in the name of Jesus!!' 


Blessings.

Elohim, The God of Creation

Image
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
