PRAYERS OF POWER: 
DEVOTIONAL PRAYERS FOR CHRISTIANS 
Written and Compiled by

CLEARLIGHT CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES 

INTRODUCTION 
If there ever was a day that Christians needed to pray: it is now. 
There is so much evil and deception in the world and in the 
churches. These are the LAST of the last days as so clearly prophecied 
in the Bible. 
My hope and prayer is that this devotional prayer book will be a tool and 
help and encouragement to you. It is not meant to be read but prayed 
aloud from the heart. Many prayers are for you and your spiritual 
strength and enrichment. Some people think it is selfish to pray alot 
for yourself. No, never ! Jesus told His disciples to "pray lest they enter 
into temptation." If you are weak or sinning, then the church also is 
weakened as you are part of a Body. If you are strong, then the church 
also is edified. So pray for yourself and for others as well. Believe GOD 
for more power in your life to overcome every sin, weakness or temptation. 
For THIS is the call of the hour: "To him/to her who overcomes..." 
Be blest. Make it your heart's desire to be an overcomer as you pray 
and seek the LORD. 
prayerfully, 
your fellow bondservant in Christ,

DEVOTIONAL PRAYERS FOR CHRISTIANS 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR OVERCOMING POWER 
Abba-Father, I ask you to baptize me afresh again and 
again with the precious Holy Spirit, Ruach haKOdesh. Help me 
to walk in victory day by day in the overcoming power of the Holy 
Spirit. May the fire of Your Presence burn away anything in my 
life or nature that is unChristlike. May that same fire that purifies 
give zeal and grace sufficient to run the race to the very finish and 
proclaim Your Truth faithfully. May Your precious Holy Spirit be a 
fire in my bones for Your honor and glory. In the precious Name 
of The Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and King. Amen. 
Psalm 119:11 
Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee. 
"Breathe on me, Breath of GOD, til I am WHOLLY Thine: 
Til all this earthly part of me glows with Thy fire Divine." 
~ Amy Carmichael, missionary to India 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER for dealing with distractions: 
Abba-Father, in the merciful name of Your Son and my Savior, 
The LORD Jesus Christ, please help us and enable us 
to be rid of all distractions when we pray, worship, praise, 
or read or meditate on Your Holy Word. Help us, help me, 
help us to consecrate, concentrate, and sanctify our thoughts 
and affections holy, wholly, holy unto Thee, O LORD, in the 
Mighty, Holy, and Merciful Name of The LORD Yeshua Messiah, 
 The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 
Please grant this grace we pray, in Jesus' Name. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR PROPER AND WISE DIET 
When Daniel was in training for the king's service, 
he took an uncompromised stand that he would not 
defile himself with the king's rich food and wine. 
Instead, he asked for a diet of vegetables and water 
which he and the three Hebrew children were allowed 
to substitute for the rich dainties and the wine. Daniel 
and the three Hebrew children were found to be ten-times 
better in every matter of wisdom and understanding 
than all the magicians and wise men in the kingdom ! 
A Prayer: 
"Help me, O LORD, not to defile my physical body. 
Help me to eat properly, both physically and spiritually, 
in the merciful mighty name of The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen." 
"Help me not to compromise the standards of GOD's 
Word which has established guidelines for a healthy 
and meaningful life, in Christ Jesus, The LORD. Amen." 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR ABUNDANT SPIRITUAL LIFE 
Abba Father, I want to thank You for the gift of Your Son, 
the Lord Jesus Christ, Who has become my Savior and 
Redeemer-King. I ask that all the benefits of Jesus as Savior 
and Lord be real in my life today and always. Let Jesus be 
to me a refuge of safety, peace, and protection from the 
storms of life because He is, in truth, my Refuge. I ask also 
for wisdom and authority to overcome every work of the 
enem. I know that Jesus is my Wisdom and all 
authority is only in Him. I ask for provision for every need. 
Most of all I ask for the abundant spiritual life. Full and 
free salvation for body, soul and spirit. Deliverance where 
I need it: healing and resurrection power in my life 
today and everyday, I pray in the wonderful Name of 
the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord. Amen. 
According as His divine power hath given unto us all things 
that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge 
of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue. ~ 2 Peter 1:2-4 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR INTERCESSION 
Father-God, we come to You on behalf of the schools and the 
children that are subject to them. 
We pray for a purification of the subject materials and 
curriculum. In Jesus' Name we rebuke the infiltration of evil 
that has flooded the schools thru text books and ungodly 
subjects. We rebuke teachings on evolution, 'safe sex,' 
'alternate lifestyles,' (homosexuality), false religions, New 
Age, witchcraft, wicca, Harry Potter materials and any other 
evil subject that is taught or promoted. In the Name of the 
Lord Jesus Christ we bind all these evils being taught to 
children. Especially that which is meant to deceive or 
destroy their faith in Christ. 
Father, send laborers into the schools, godly teachers, 
counsellors, principals and superintendents to challenge and 
change ungodly subjects and curriculum in all the schools. 
May the children be taught well the subjects that will truly 
help them and enable them in life. May they be taught good 
and godly principles that are founded upon Biblical truth 
and morality. 
Save the children, O LORD. Root-out the evil infiltration 
that infests so many schools throughout the world ! - This 
we pray in the Mighty, Holy Name of the King of kings, 
The LORD Jesus Christ. Amen. 
And all they children shall be taught of the Lord: and great 
shall be the peace of thy children. ~ Isaiah 54:13 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER AGAINST UNBELIEF 
Father in Heaven, I ask You to grant me a heart free of unbelief, 
that I may praise You in Spirit and in Truth. You are the GOD of 
the impossible, the GOD of the supernatural. Help me to see 
the things that I hope and pray for by faith. I renounce all doubt, 
hopelessness, and fear, in Jesus Name. I believe You, GOD of Heaven 
and earth, that You can do anything, heal any disease, mend any 
relationship, provide for any need and move any mountain of difficulty 
out of my life and bring FULL and COMPLETE VICTORY, in Jesus 
Name! Open my eyes that I will always see Your chariots of fire 
upon my hills and mountains of difficulties and trials. ~ This I ask 
in the holy, mighty Name of The Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior 
and King. Amen. 
Behold...the just shall live by faith. ~ Habakkuk 2:4 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
WARFARE PRAYER 
Abba-Father, I ask that all attacks and plans of the enemy against 
me be stopped IN JESUS NAME ! That whatever is hidden be exposed 
to the light. Help me to see and discern the traps and snares of the 
enemy and his tricks to keep me from my calling and doing Your 
perfect Will. Stop the way against the enemy who would seek to 
hinder or do me harm. 
Abba-Father, I surrender myself to You totally and trust that You 
will protect me. Please cancel every assignment of men and devils 
that are against me. I thank You for the precious Blood of The 
LORD Jesus Christ, The Lamb of GOD, that covers me this day
and every day! Amen. 
Let Your Will and plans for my life, O LORD, be established in its 
fullness, now and always. This I pray in the wonderful, merciful 
name that is above EVERY name: The LORD Jesus Christ, 
my Savior. Amen. 
No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper: for THIS is 
the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and my righteousness 
is of The LORD Jesus Christ. ~ Isaiah 54:17 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
~ DEVOTIONAL INTERLUDE ~ 
SEEING JESUS AS ALL IN ALL 
"In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the LORD..." ~ Isaiah 6:1
We have to get our eyes off others before we can have a full vision of 
Jesus. In the year that King Uzziah died, Isaiah says, I saw the LORD. 
His eyes and hopes had been upon the might and victorious earthly 
leader, and with his death all these hopes had sunk in despair. But 
the stars come out when the lights of earth fade. It was then Isaiah's 
true vision and life began. 
It is not enough to see Jesus along with other things and persons. 
What we truly need is to have Him fill all our vision, all our sky, all 
our heart, all our plans, and all our future. What He wants from us 
is "first love," that is, the supreme place; and He cannot really be 
anything to us satisfactorily until He is everything. He is able to fill 
every capacity of our being and without displacing any rightful affection 
or occupation, yet so blend with all, so control all, so become the very 
essence of all thought and delight that we can truly say, "For me to live 
is Christ," for "The love of Christ constaineth me," shuts me up and in 
from everything else as a pent-up torrent in its narrow course, to live 
not unto myself but "unto Him that loved me and gave Himself for me." 
Prayer: 
"Holy Spirit, bring us our transfiguration, take us apart to our Mount of 
vision, let Moses and Elijah pass, and let us see no man save Jesus only, 
- The Most Holy One. Thru Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray. Amen."

SPRINGS IN THE VALLEY, page 25-26, by Mrs. Charles Cowman 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR RIGHT USE OF FINANCES 
Gracious Heavenly Father, I pray that You would teach me the 
correct and wise use of the finances that You have placed in my 
hands. I know that it is a responsibility to use those finances 
wisely. Please guide me and correct me where I need it. Enable 
me to be a faithful steward and a fruitful giver in Your Kingdom. 
May I never be greedy or foolish or selfish. 
Help me, O LORD, to always be grateful for what You supply. I trust 
You to always supply every need in the abundance of my Lord Jesus 
Christ, YahOvah-Yireh, my Provider. 
Help me to be trustworthy in handling whatever income or offering 
I am given, through Jesus Christ, my LORD. Amen. 
The tithes and offerings belong to GOD. - Yes, even 100%, - for 
He is my Master, and He alone. ~ Malachi 3:8-12 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR CARE OF FRIENDS 
Heavenly Father, Thank You for friends. Thank You for my best 
Friend, Jesus, Your Son. 
Help me to be a good friend, O LORD, to those friends I have in 
my life. Enable me to be thoughtful, trustworthy, a good listener, 
uplifting, truthful with kindness and tact, and (most of all) loyal 
and prayerful to and for my friends, everyday in every way. 
Show me anyone You would have me befriend, dear LORD. 
I thank You for every good relationship I have and have had. 
I ask that You send me more and faithful friends, dear LORD, 
those who can share my love for You, and to whom also I can be 
a loyal friend. In Your gracious and holy Name, The LORD Jesus Christ,
my Savior, King, and most precious Friend. Amen. 
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life 
for his friends. ~ John 15:13 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR CONTINUAL GUIDANCE 
Heavenly Father, in Jesus Name I come before You. Help me to 
be a profitable servant. Help me not to wear myself out with needless 
activities and any good works that are not the work of the Holy 
Spirit, but of the flesh and carnal-mind. 
Prepare my heart to hear and obey Your directions. Help me to be 
ever sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. May I be so yielded 
to You, Father-God, that the works of Jesus can be done in me and 
thru me. Works of real redemptive quality and power. Help me to 
put away distractions and focus entirely on Jesus and His Kingdom. 
May Heaven's vision always guide me, O LORD, for this I ask 
in the great and merciful Name of The LORD Jesus Christ, 
my Savior and King. Amen. 
It is the Spirit that quickenth, the flesh profits nothing: The 
words that I speak unto you, THEY are Spirit and they are Truth. 
~ John 6:63 
I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: 
the night cometh when no man can work. ~ John 9:4 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR CHRISTLIKE CHARACTER 
Abba-Father, thank You for calling me out of the kingdom of darkness 
and into the Kingdom of Light and Life thru Your dear Son, my Savior, 
The LORD Jesus Christ. 
Help me to reflect more perfectly the light and life of Jesus to others. 
May people sence the love, peace, and purity of Jesus in my life. 
Transform me. I deeply desire to be Christlike in character. 
May I be salt and light in every situation I face. Give me greater 
victory over the temptations that assail me. This I pray in and thru 
the mighty and most powerful Name of The LORD Jesus Christ. Amen. 
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory 
of the Lord, are changed unto the same image from glory to 
glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD Yeshua. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:18 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
~ DEVOTIONAL INTERLUDE ~ 
DO THE LITTLE THINGS WELL... 
The commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light: 
and reproofs for discipline are the way of life. ~ Proverbs 6:23 
If you want to be a person with a large vision, you must cultivate the 
habit of doing the little things well. That is when GOD puts iron in your 
bones ! . . . the test of my calling is not how well I do before the public 
on Sunday; it's how carefully I cover the bases on Monday through 
Saturday when there's nobody to check up on me, when nobody is 
looking. 
When GOD develops character, He works on it throughout a lifetime. 
He's never in a hurry. He knows exactly what is needed. 
It is in the schoolroom of solitude and obscurity that we learn to 
become men and women of GOD. It is from the schoolmasters of 
monotony and reality that we learn to be faithful and trustworthy. - 
THAT is how we become, - like David, - men and women after GOD's 
own heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR DEVOTIONAL TIME 
Heavenly Father, I live in a world that is a spiritually dry and 
thirsty land. More than that, there is a famine in the land for 
the word of the LORD. 
I ask that You would daily help me to find an oasis of Your 
Spirit's Presence to refresh my weary soul. Feed me with revelation 
from your word each time I open the Bible. Help me not to be hindered 
nor distracted from my times with You. For You are the true 
sustenance of my life. 
Open the riches of Your Kingdom to me and set me free from 
the bonds of earth as I reach toward Heaven in time spent 
seeking You and Your righteousness. This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. 
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him: and He 
will show them His covenant. ~ Psalm 25:14 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR MARRIAGE PARTNER 
Gracious Abba-Father, thank You for my marriage partner. I give You 
praise for him/her. Use our relationship as a true picture of Christ and 
the church. Help us to be unselfish, kind, gentle, patient, and 
unconditionally loving towards each other. 
Put strife and any selfish ambitions far from us and help us to have 
the heart of a servant towards each other from day to day. Help us 
to encourage one another in our relationship with You, O LORD. 
Help us to comfort and protect each other and count each other 
as a treasure which You have given, without making each other in any 
way an idol in our hearts. - That YOU, truly would always have first 
place in our heart and affections. 
All this I ask in Jesus' Name, and I thank You for the gift of marriage. 
Amen. 
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husband, as unto the LORD. 
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and 
gave Himself for it. 
~ Ephesians 5:22 & 25 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
FOR A PURE HEART 
Heavenly Father, I pray You would help me to always serve You with 
a pure heart; with a heart of pure motives. I pray my service would 
be anointed and appointed BY YOU. That my service in ministry 
would be a service of gold and silver, not that which will be burnt 
up at the Judgement Seat of Christ. 
Please give me grace to keep serving You and to "not grow weary 
in well-doing," that I may have joy at the appearance of my LORD 
and Savior, Jesus Christ, - for I ask this grace in His Name. Amen. 
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept 
the faith: 
Hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness 
which the LORD, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at that Day: 
and not to me only, but UNTO ALL them also who love His appearing. 
~ 2 Timothy 4:7-8 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR MINISTRY 
Father-GOD, I thank You for the saving, healing, delivering power of 
Jesus that You have displayed in my life. Yet I desire more wholeness: 
spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Nothing is too hard for You, so 
I humble myself before You and ask for a greater healing and wholeness 
for both body and soul, in Jesus' Name. 
May Your supernatural power touch my life again and again til I am 
fully whole and walking always in Your Spirit, dear LORD. 
I ask that You would help me to be a vessel of honor for Your Kingdom. 
That You would anoint me and work through me to bring healing, 
deliverance, and salvation to others. Use me for Your glory. - This I 
ask in the merciful Name of The LORD Jesus Christ. Amen. 
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they shall 
cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues: 
They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing 
it shall not hurt them. 
They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. 
~ Mark 16:17-18 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR ENABLING STRENGTH 
Abba-Father, I humbly approach your Throne in my weakness. 
I am weak but You are strong. I desire to live life in the Spirit and to 
die to self. To crucify the works and lusts of the flesh and carnal mind. 
To RENEW my mind in Your Word and by Your Spirit. 
Dear LORD, I cannot do these things except You help me and enable 
me by Your precious Holy Spirit and Word. I only yield myself now before 
Your Sovereign Throne: body, soul, and spirit to You, Heavenly Father, 
and ask that You enable and strengthen me to fast, pray, meditate on 
Your Word, and spend quality time in Your Presence. 
My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak and even fights my efforts in 
these areas of great need. I confess I need grace and help. I trust You 
now for this help and grace, for I ask it in the precious holy Name of 
Your Son and my Savior, The LORD Jesus Christ. Amen. 
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit 
do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. ~ Romans 8:13 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
~DEVOTIONAL INTERLUDE ~ 
LORD, KEEP ME IN BALANCE... 
The longer I live the more I realize the ease with which we can 
slip into extremes. I see it all around me and sometimes, to my 
own embarrassment, I find it in myself. A major prayer of mine 
as I grow older is, "Lord, Keep me balanced !" 
We need a balance between work and play, between kindness 
and firmness, between waiting and praying, between saving and 
spending and giving, between wanting too much and expecting too 
little, between warm acceptance and keen discernment, ... between 
grace and truth. 
For many folks, the struggle with imbalance is not an annual conflict, - 
- its a daily grind. . . . The adversary of our soul is the expert 
on the extremes. He never runs out of ways to push us to the 
limit . . . to get us to go so far out on one end we just cast 
perspective to the winds. 
The longer I live, the more I must fight the tendency to go to 
extremes...and the more I value the wisdom of godly balance in 
thought, word, and deed. 
~ WISDOM FOR THE WAY, page 289, by Chuck Swindoll 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR BREAKING EVERY CURSE 
Lord Jesus, You became a curse for me. Thank You and praise, 
glory and honor be unto Thee ! You redeemed me from all curses brought 
on by sin. - my sin and generational sins. I renounce all sins and 
declare all curses related to sin to be broken because I am redeemed 
by the precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in Whom I trust. 
I receive the blessings of GOD and not the curse. For poverty GOD 
gives me abundance; for sickness He gives me health and healing; 
for foolishness of man He gives me His wisdom; for death He gives me 
eternal Life; for shame He gives me divine favor; for ignorance of GOD, 
- He gives me knowledge of His ways. 
I will rejoice and praise You, O LORD, forever, for You have saved me 
from every curse of sin and damnation. 
Help me, O my GOD, to live a life that honors You always in return 
for all your goodness and grace toward me, in Jesus' Mighty Name. 
Amen. 
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a 
curse for us: for it is written, 'Cursed is every one that hangeth upon 
a tree.' 
That the blessings of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through 
Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit 
through faith. ~ Galatians 3:13-14 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR DISCIPLINE AND HEALTH IN BODY 
Father God, I will praise You for "I am fearfully and wonderfully 
made." My body is Your temple. Please help me to take good care 
of this body, Your temple. 
Help me to adjust my eating to things that will benefit and improve 
my health. May I be aware of how the lust of the flesh influences 
by decisions in what I eat and resist lust for unhealthy goods and 
drink. Help me to choose the good and refuse that which is not 
healthy to eat. 
Grant that I would have strength and discipline to exercise often. 
May I do it as a spiritual discipline with Christian music and thoughts 
of You, O LORD ! 
Help me to delight in a divine diet of Your Word and a healthy 
hunger for Your Presence. Enable me to fast regularly with wisdom 
and Your guidance. I believe you can empower me to do these 
things so I can glorify You in my body, as well as in spirit and in 
soul. I confess that I need Your enabling strength. Thank You for 
giving the grace needed for this, 
in the precious Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 
What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, 
which is in you, which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own. 
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify GOD in your 
body, and in your spirit, which belong to GOD. ~ 1 Cor.6:19-20 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR SANCTIFIED THOUGHT AND SPEECH 
Heavenly Father, I praise You for You are the GOD of all hope. 
I renounce any and all fear, in Jesus' name. I pray You would fill 
me with hope. - HOPE for every situation. 
Help me change my attitudes and speech that are tainted with 
negative fears, judgementalism, or any hidden bitterness toward 
You or others. 
Enable me to keep praising You in every way and every day. 
Enable me to speak only that which edifies. To lift people with my 
words and exalt You with my praise. 
Help me to only pray against the evils that I see, and not to 'say' 
or speak about it to others. 
Thank You, LORD. I believe You to make me an overcomer of all 
wrong thinking and speech, - for this I pray in the great and precious 
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart 
be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my 
Redeemer. ~ Psalm 19:14 
Whosover offereth praise glorified Me: and to him that ordereth 
his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of GOD. ~ Psalm 50:23 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR DIVINE FAVOR 
Abba Father, I come to You in Jesus name. I ask You for Your 
Divine favor to rest upon my life and ministry. I know it is only 
grace that would open my life to favor, - and this I believe 
because of Jesus Who is my Savior and Lord, - thus may I ask 
for Divine favor. - Favor in Your sight and favor with Man. 
Being me into relationships which would receive my ministry and 
appreciate the giftings of the Holy Spirit which You have given. 
I pray for this grace of favor and that You would anoint me more 
and use me more as I pursue You and Your Will, 
in Jesus' Name. In the precious holy Name of The Lord Yeshua. Amen. 
For Thou, O LORD, will bless the righteous: with favor wilt Thou 
compass him as with a shield. ~ Psalm 5:12 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR HEALING IN THE BODY OF CHRIST 
Abba-Father, my Father and my GOD, I come to You as your child 
through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior. I am a part of 
the Body of Christ on earth, but I see the Body of Christ is so 
divided, - so broken when we should be whole and holy. We need 
the true life of Christ to heal and deliver. 
I pray, Holy Father, that You would purify the Body of Christ 
in the earth. I pray for healing, - deliverance, - purity, - and 
truth in the inner-heart of each one of Your children, - in each 
member of the Body of Christ. 
Deliver us from evil deception in the church and in our own hearts. 
Bring us to true humility and divine love. Purge us of pride and all 
bondage to sin. Help us to unite around Truth and by Your Spirit, 
heal us, O LORD ! - This I pray in the precious, holy Name of 
The Lord Jesus Christ, The Eternal Head of all the Church. Amen. 
So we being many are one body in Christ, and every one of us 
are members of one another. ~ Romans 12:5 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
~ DEVOTIONAL INTERLUDE ~ 
JUST THE RIGHT MESSAGE 
Listen to me, victims of mistreatment. More importantly, please 
listen to GOD's truth. He has a hundred different messages to 
give you during a hundred different dungeon experiences. He knows 
just the right message at just the right time, and all it takes to 
receive it is a sensitive, obedient, trusting heart. Not one of those 
messages is preoccupied with revenge or bitterness or hostility, 
but only a heart that says, "Lord-God, help me now. Right at 
this moment. Deliver me from my own prision. Help me to see 
beyond the darkness, to see Your hand. As I am being crushed, 
remold me. Help me to see You in this. . . . " 
Pray that prayer. Turn your trial into trust as you look to GOD 
to tenderly use that affliction, that dungeon, that abandonemnet 
for HIS purpose. . . . 
In the midst of all this, remember, GOD has not abandoned you. 
He has not forgotten you. He never left. He understands the 
heartache more perfectly than any other.

WISDOM FOR THE WAY, page 287, by Chuck Swindoll 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER AGAINST ABORTION 
Dear GOD and Father of all Creation, You see and know what evil 
has invaded and prevailed in this world. Evil beyond imagination: that 
a mother would murder her own child in the womb. Abba-Father, 
have mercy on those innocent unborn lives that are endangered today. 
Put Your protective hand on those babies that satan is trying to 
kill. Cause the mothers to reconsider what they are about to do. 
Put Your holy fear on them, O LORD. Put a love in their hearts 
for their unborn child. 
We cry out to You, O LORD, for these helpless ones. Defend and 
protect them. Cancel satan's plans of death against them in the 
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, - The Mighty and Holy One. Amen. 
Behold, I am the LORD, the GOD of all flesh:is there anything 
too hard for Me ? ~ Jeremiah 32:27 
For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my 
mother's womb. ~ Psalm 139:13 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR THE CHARACTER OF CHRISTLIKENESS 
Abba-Father, Please help me to represent You, Your Son and 
Christianity in a way that brings You glory and honor. 
Help me to have true virtues of Christlike-character: Love, joy, 
peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, humility, meekness, 
compassion, integrity, generosity, and convictions that honor You 
and Your Word. 
As I espouse the name Christian, may I be strong to resist all 
temptations of evil in any form. May I be willing to suffer wrong 
and still forgive and love in return. May I be willing and obedient 
in Your word and will for my life. 
In my natural self I cannot fullfill any of these things, so I ask 
You to help me to yield to You and that You would fill me with 
Your Spirit and enabling grace. I humble myself and admit that I 
am a very needy soul in my own strength, but WITH YOUR HELP I can 
grow into the full stature of Christ and be a true friend of Christ 
to HIS glory. I believe and desire this Christlike life, in the 
merciful Name of the Lord Yeshua, my Savior and Friend. Amen. 
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good 
works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:16 
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good 
works, which GOD hath before ordained that we should walk in 
them. ~ Ephesians 2:10 
...and let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from 
iniquity. ~ 2 Timothy 2:19 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER TO OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD 
Holy Father, I honor and praise You for Your grace and compassion 
which You have shown to my life. 
I ask that You would help me show the same grace and compassion 
to others. Cleanse me, dear LORD, of any attitude that would hinder me 
in relationship to You or Your children. I renounce any judgemental, 
critical, or cynical attitude toward others, in Jesus' Name. 
Remove from me inverted vision that would cause me to be consumed 
with my own need and problems rather than You and the needs of 
others. 
Help me to pray and fast and to be fine-tuned to Your Spirit. 
Thank You, Gracious Father. How I need You ! I ask these graces 
in the merciful Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 
Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. ~ Romans 12:21

A Life-Changing Prayer 
Colossians 1:9-14 
The most powerful act anyone can perform is to pray for someone. Of course, the power is not in the praying, but in the release God gives in His perfect answer to our prayers. Paul provides an example of one of the most effective prayers we could utter. He prays that the Colossian church: 
 May be filled with the knowledge of Gods will. What a wonderful gesture to ask God to make clear for family members or friends the precise, exact decisions He wishes them to make in every circumstance. 
 May walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. This means asking that someones life will have weightwill count eternally and not temporally. 
 May bear fruit in every good work. We should pray for loved ones to remain so Christ-centered that He through them determines their conversation, conduct, and character. 
 May increase in the knowledge of God. Can there be a more precious request than that of wanting someone to grow ever closer to our heavenly Father? 
 May be strengthened and sustained with the power of God. Within an evil world system, we need the supernatural power of God to help us bear up under the strain. 
 May give thanks that we already have qualified as saints of God. There is nothing for which we should be more appreciative. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR STRENGTH AND VICTORY 
Father in Heaven, help me to be a faithful servant. Make me strong in 
spirit and body to do the work You have put before me. Shield me from 
the attacks of the enemy. Grant me wisdom, discernment and anointing 
for every task You give me, - for every relationship, every ministry 
You can me to. 
Help me not to be overwhelmed by discouragement, betrayal, or 
seeming failure. Help me have staying-power, persevering power 
til my work is fully done. 
May I be willing to stay or go; to change any plan, to follow 
Your Spirit's guidance no matter where it leads. Open the right 
doors for further miniistry and close the wrong doors that are not 
of or from You. Send the right people to aid in what ever work 
You give to Your servant, O LORD, and strengthen me in my inner 
man til the battles are over and the victory is won ! All this I ask 
in the precious, holy Name of The LORD Jesus, my Redeemer-King. Amen. 
Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, 
always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye 
know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. ~ 1 Cor.15:58 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
FOR TRUE UNITY AMONG BRETHREN 
Abba-Father, I pray that You would help Your children to walk 
and work together in true harmony, sincerity, unity and Agape Love. 
Not the ecumenical or institutional-type unity of deceptions and false 
christianity, but TRUE unity built around Truth and holiness by Your 
Holy Spirit in accordance with Your Holy Word. 
Show us any way the deceiver is trying to bring false people to 
us or our ministry. 
We long for relationships that will strengthen and encourage each 
other as we serve You in Spirit and Truth. Bring us these right- 
relationships by Your mercy and grace to give us greater power in 
prayer and service. - This we ask in the precious Name of our 
Savior, The Lord Jesus the Messiah. Amen. 
Can two walk together, except they be agreed? ~ Amos 3:3 
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have 
fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ His 
Son cleanseth us from all sin. ~ 1 John 1:7 
Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together 
in unity. ~ Psalm 133:1

WHEN THE GOING GETS ROUGH 
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths 
of justice. ~ Proverbs 8:20 
Vision is the ability to see GOD's presence, to perceive GOD's 
power, to focus on GOD's plan inspite of the obstacles. 
When you hae vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is 
optimistic rather than pessimistic. Your attitude stays positive 
rather than negative. Not foolishly positive, as though in fantasy, 
for you are reading GOD into your circumstances. So when a situation 
comes that cuts your feet out from under you, you don't throw 
up your arms and panic. You don't give up. Instead, you say, "Lord, 
this is Your moment. This is where YOU take charge. You're in 
this, and I choose to trust You." 
This is nothing more than having a strong belief in the power of 
GOD; having confidence in others around you who are in similar 
battles with you; and, yes, it is having confidence in yourself, 
BY THE GRACE OF GOD. Refusing to give in to temptation, 
cyncisim and doubt. . . . It's hanging tough when the going gets 
rough.

PRAYER FOR GRACE NOT TO BE STUMBLED 
Heavenly Father, have mercy on us and help us to overcome in these 
last days. These are days of great deception, temptations, and offenses. 
Please steel our hearts against being offended. Give us extra grace and 
increase our faith so we can completely forgive any and all offenses 
and wrongs done to us. May our love be so strong that we can simply 
ignore and not be stumbled by offensive words or actions or betrayals. 
May we never offend others, and if we do (even without any intent) 
help us to apologize quickly and forgive completely. 
We cry to You, O LORD, for strength and grace for this great 
grace, in Jesus' precious Name. Amen. In the merciful holy name 
of The Lord Jesus Christ. 
Great peace have they that love Thy Law [Torah] and nothing shall 
offend [or stumble] them. ~ Psalm 119:165 
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 
But he that shall endure unto the end: the same shall be saved. 
~ Matthew 24:12-13 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYER FOR THE RENEWAL OF THE MIND 
Gracious Father, in the merciful name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I 
confess that at times my thoughts hinder me spiritually. If I meditate 
on trials and the evils of this world, - it becomes like a heavy weight 
that covers me. Help me, LORD, to think on the good, not the bad. 
To pray over negative things and praise You for the answers to come. 
In thee last days there is so much evil, - You warned us and told 
us clearly that it would be that way in the world, but You didn't 
tell us to focus on the evil, but rather to "Look up ! for your 
redemption draweth nigh !" Help me, LORD, to do this always. 
To "Look up" to watch and pray, and not worry or fret or get caught 
in a wrong focus on the wrong things. 
By faith I surrender my mind, my thoughts and affections and feelings 
to You. Cleanse and renew my thinking and plant Your Word in my mind 
continually. Help me to meditate on You and Your Holy, Faithful Word 
continually. In the Name of the LORD Jesus, The Living Word. Amen. 
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, 
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, 
whatsoever things are of good report: 
if there be any virtue or praise: think on these things. 
Those things which ye have both learned and received and 
heard and seen in me: do. and the GOD of peace shall be with you. 
~ Philippians 4:8-9

THE BENEFITS OF SOLITUDE 
Every word of GOD is tested; He is a shield to those who 
take refuge in Him. ~ Proverbs 30:5 
The Scriptures are replete with references to the value of waiting 
before the LORD and spending time with Him. When we do, the 
debris we have gathered during the hurried, busy hours of our 
day gets filtered out, not unlike the silt that settles where a river 
widens. With the debris out of the way, we are able to se things 
more clearly and feel GOD's nudgings more sensitively. 
David frequently underscored the benefits of solitude. I am certain 
he first became acquainted with this disciple as he kept his father's 
sheep. Later, during those tumultuous years when King Saul was 
borderline insane and pursuing him out of jealousy, David found his 
time with GOD not only a needed refuge but his very means of 
survival. . . . 
GOD still longs to speak to waiting hearts, . . . hearts that are 
willing to be quieted before Him. "BE STILL and KNOW..." 
~ excerpt from THE FINISHING TOUCH, in WISDOM FOR THE 
WAY, page 163, by Chuck Swindoll

APPEAL FOR HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE 
Father-GOD, I praise You for the truth of Your Word which says 
that "I am seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places." 
Help me to have a greater understanding of that spiritual position. 
May that knowledge help me to be an overcomer. 
You, Holy Father, are "my hiding place." I will hide "under the 
shadow of Your wings" from the destructive powers of satan and 
those who fallow him. In Jesus' Mighty Name every snare, trap, 
temptation and attack of satan against me and my loved ones is 
CANCELLED. I ask the precious Blood of Jesus to cover me, - 
wash away all my sins, - cleanse me, and be my protection, spirit, 
soul, and body. IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF THE LORD JESUS 
I bind up every destroying spirit of satanic or demonic origin that 
would seek to attack me or my loved ones. 
Thank You, my Father and my GOD, for Your unfailing help in 
this battle against the destroyer and the powers of evil. I am weak 
but THOU art strong. Keep me safe always, I pray 
in Jesus' Name, Your Son and my Savior. Amen. 
Make haste, O GOD, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. 
~ Psalm 70:1 
GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. 
~ Psalm 46:1 
Keep yourselves in the love of GOD, looking for the mercy of our 
Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 
And of some have compassion making a difference... ~ Jude 21,22 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
PRAYING FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY 
Father-GOD, You said in Your Word that we should pray for those 
in authority, so I would ask You now to assist all those who rule 
this land: give them strength and wisdom for for each day's 
responsibilities. Grant them Your wisdom and guidance, Holy Father. 
May honesty and righteousness reign and over-rule in all their ways. 
Please don't let them abuse their position or power. Help them, instead, 
to stand for justice and to uphold Your moral laws. 
May those who rule have a heart to serve. I pray that they would 
have compassion on people of need and seek to find ways to assist 
them and better their lives. 
Last of all, dear LORD, keep them in good health and protected 
according to Your Will and purpose. And most of all, convict them 
of their sins and save them, I pray 
In Jesus' Name. Amen. 
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplication, prayers, 
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 
For kings, and for all that are in authority: that we may lead 
a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Savior 
Who would have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge 
of the truth. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-4 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
FOR DEEPER TRANSFORMATION 
Abba-Father, thank You for calling me out of the kingdom of darkness 
and into the Kingdom of light and life thru Your dear Son, my Savior, 
The Lord Jesus Christ. 
Help me to reflect the light and life of Jesus to others. May people 
sense the love, peace and purity of Jesus in my life and words. 
Transform me. I deeply desire to be Christlike in character. 
May I be salt and light in every situation I face. Give me greater 
victory over the temptations that assail me. 
- All this I ask in the precious mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 
Amen. 
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the 
LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even 
as by the Spirit of the LORD. ~ 2 Cor.3:18

~ DEVOTIONAL INTERLUDE ~ 
EMBRACE THE REFINER'S FIRE 
"We had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust 
in ourselves..." ~ 2 Cor.1:9 
These are weighty words for all Christ's servants; but we must be 
His servants in reality, in order to enter into their deep significance. 
If we are content to live a life of indolence and ease, a life of self- 
seeking and self-pleasing, it is impossible for us to understand such 
words, or indeed to enter into any of those intense exercises of soul 
through which Christ's true-hearted servants and faithful witnesses, 
in all ages, have been called to pass. 
We find, invariably, that all those who have been most used of 
GOD in public have gone through deep waters in secret. Paul could 
say to the Corinthians, "Death worketh in us; but life in yuu." 
Death wroking in the poor earthen vessel; but streams of life, 
heavenly grace, and spiritual power flowing into those to whom he 
ministered. 
How the professing church has departed from the divine reality of 
ministry ! Where are the Pauls, the Gideons, and the Joshuas ? 
Where are the deep heart-searchings and profound soul excercises 
which have always characterized the servants of Christ in other days 
and times ? Flippant, worldly, shallow, empty, self-sufficient and 
self-indulgent are we ! Need we wonder at the small results ? 
How can we expect to see life working in others, when we know 
so little about death [to self] working in us ? 
May the eternal Spirit stir us all up ! May He work in us a more 
powerful sense of what it is to be true-hearted, single-eyed, devoted 
servants of the Lord Jesus Christ ! 
From prayer that asks that I may be 
Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee, 
From fearing when I should aspire, 
From faltering when I should climb higher, 
From silken self, O Captain, free 
Thy soldier who would follow Thee. 
From subtle love of softening things, 
From easy choices, weakenings, 
(Not thus are spirits fortified, 
Not this way went the Crucified) 
From all the dims Thy Calvary 
O Lamb of GOD, deliver me. 
Give me the love that leads the way, 
The Faithe that nothing can dismay, 
The hope no disappointments tire, 
The passion that will burn like fire; 
Let me not sink to be a clod: 
Make me Thy fuel, O Flame of GOD.

PRAYER TO OVERCOME DECEPTIONS 
Gracious Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, 
I cry to You for protection from deception and sin. From every form 
of deception, deliver me ! 
Jesus warned of much deception in the last days. Please help me to have 
keen discernment. May Your truth from Your Holy Word and the Light 
from Your Holy Spirit deliver me from all deception. 
There are people who would deceive, O LORD. The world is filled 
today with alluring deceptions to sin and compromise. Even the church 
is flawed (and some times filled) with deceptive teachings and 
compromised, carnal ways. And worse than this, our own hearts can be 
deceived if we have pride or justify any wrongful ways or habits. 
RESCUE US, O LORD ! In Jesus' Name, save us from every deception, 
I pray. Help us to love truth and righteousness and to be loyal to 
Your ways and Your Holy Word. May mercy and truth preserve us 
til You call us Home. In the Most precious Name of the Lord Yeshua, 
our Savior and King. Amen. 
But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 
deceiving your own selves. ~ James 1:22 
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man 
deceives you. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, 
and shall show great signs and wonders: insomuch that if it were 
possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 
Behold, I have told you before. ~ Matthew 24:4, 24-25 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
EQUIPPED FOR THE BATTLE 
Most Holy Father, GOD of Heaven and earth, please enable and equip 
Your servant to be a minister of Your grace and power. Give me the 
courage to stand in the battle for souls. Help me not to fear or 
faint as I wrestle in prayer and ministry, even for the deliverance of 
others and their eternal salvation. 
Make me effective in helping souls get saved and set free from every 
form of sin and demonic bondage. Give me authority in the Spirit to 
overcome all attacks, oppression and any kind of warfare. 
Help me not to retreat from active duty or go AWOL. 
Give me balance between war and peace in the spiritual realm. 
Make me powerful for Your glory and for the sake of captive souls, 
I pray in Jesus' Name ! Amen. I thank You, Father, for hearing my 
prayer, in the great and merciful Name of The Lord Jesus Christ 
Who alone can bring salvation and true deliverance. Amen. 
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath 
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me 
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, 
and the opening of the prisons to them that are bound. ~ Isaiah 61:1 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
CONCLUDING PRAYER TO BE READY 
FOR THE RETURN OF JESUS 
Abba-Father, thank You, thank You for the great Love You have shown by 
giving Jesus Christ, Your Son, to be my Savior. I praise You forever 
that I have known His Grace, His Love, His Truth, and Holy Presence. 
Words can never fully express my love and gratitutude toward You 
for all this. Calvary's Love is truly beyond all other loves and all 
other things of any value ! 
It is my heart's desire, Abba-Father, to keep Jesus at the center of 
my life. I pray that the eyes of my understanding would be enlightened 
and I would come to know my Savior and Lord in deeper and deeper 
ways. I pray that my love for Jesus would fully and truly surpass all 
others, and that my love for Him would keep growing as a fire that 
never dies. Even til You take me Home to be with You forever, dear LORD. 
Please help me in these last days, to be always ready, counted worthy, 
and always watching for the glorious return of my Lord Jesus Christ, 
in Whose Name I pray. Amen. Thank You for Your wonderful grace 
and keeping power, Abba-Father. I trust wholly IN YOU and in Your 
most gracious salvation, thru our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 
Watch ye therefore and pray always, that ye may be accounted 
worthy to escape all these things [the tribulation and GOD's wrath and judgements] that shall come to pass, and to stand before the 
Son of Man. ~ Luke 21:36

================================================== 
 APPENDIX I: 
A PRAYER FOR WARFARE AND OVERCOMING . . .

Gracious God, I acknowledge that You are worthy of all honor,
glory and praise. I am thankful for the victorious work of
Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary for me. I appropriate
His victory for myself now as I willingly surrender every area
of my life to Your will.

Thank you for the forgiveness and righteousness that has been given to me as Your adopted child. I trust in Your protection and provision daily. I know that Your love for me never ceases.

I rejoice in Your victory, my Lord, over all the principalities and powers in the heavenlies. In faith I stand in Your victory and commit myself to live obediently for You my King.

I desire that my fellowship with You become greater. Reveal to me those things that grieve You and enables the enemy to secure an advantage in my life. I need the Holy Spirit's powerful ministry in 
my life; bringing conviction of sin, repentance of heart, strengthening my faith and increasing perseverance in resisting temptation.

Help me to die to self and walk in the victory of the new creation
You have provided for me. Let the fruits of the Spirit flow out
of my life so that You will be glorified through my life.

I know that it is Your will that I should stand firm and resist

all of the enemy's work against me. Help me to discern the

attacks upon my thoughts and emotions. Enable me to stand upon

Your Word and resist all the accusations, distortions and

condemnations that are hurled against me.

It is my desire to be transformed through the renewing of my mind,
so that I will not compromise with the ways of the world,
or yield to the enemy's attacks,
but be obedient to Your will.

I draw upon those spiritual resources that You have provided me
and I attack the strongholds and plans of the enemy that have
been put in place against me. I command in the name of Jesus
Christ that the enemy must release my mind, will, emotions
and body completely. They have been yielded to the Lord Jesus
Christ and I belong to Him.

Lord, enable me to become the person You created me to be.
Help me
as I pray to be strong in faith. Show me how to apply Your Word
in my life each day. I know that I wear the full armor of God
when I am committed to and stand firmly upon Your Word. I want
You to have the supreme place in my life.

I surrender myself completely to You, Lord. You are always 
faithful and You extend Your grace to me constantly, even when
I do not realize it. I claim Your promise of forgiveness and
cleansing in its fullness. In faith, I receive the victory
today that you have already put in place for me. I do this
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior with a
grateful heart. AMEN

APPENDIX III
A few excerpts from Randy Alcorn's very thoughtful and beautiful book,

THE GRACE AND TRUTH PARADOX . . .

  Some churches today embrace truth but need a heavy dose of grace.
Other churches talk about grace but cry out for a heavy dose of truth.

~~~~~~~ ACHIEVING BALANCE ~~~~~~~

  The apparent conflict that exists between grace and truth isn't
because they're incompatible, but because we lack perspective to
resolved their seeming paradox. The two are interdependent. We
should never approach truth except in a spirit of grace, or grace
except in a spirit of truth. Jesus wasn't 50 percent grace, 50
percent truth, but 100 percent truth. 
Truth-oriented Christians love studying Scripture and theology and
doctrine. But sometimes they're quick to judge and slow to forgive.
They're strong on truth, weak on grace.
Grace-oriented Christians love forgiveness and freedom. But 
sometimes they neglect Bible study and see moral standards as
"merely legalism." (which it is not). They're strong on grace, 
but weak on truth.
Countless mistakes in marriage, parenting, ministry, and other
relationships are failures to balance grace and truth. Sometimes
we neglect both. Often we choose one over the other.

 A paradox is an apparent contradiction. Grace and truth aren't
really contradictory. Jesus didn't switch on truth and then turn it off 
so He could switch on grace. Both are permanently switched on
in Jesus. Both should be switched on in us.

What would Jesus do? There is always one answer: 
He would act in grace *and* truth.
Truth without grace breeds a self-righteous legalism that poisons
the church and pushes the world away from Christ.
Grace without truth breeds moral indifference and keeps people
from seeing their need for Christ.
Attempts to "soften" the gospel by minimizing truth keep people
from Jesus. Attempts to "toughen" the gospel by minimizing grace
keep people from Jesus. It's not enough for us to offer grace OR truth.
We must offer both."

~ Randy Alcorn, THE GRACE AND TRUTH PARADOX, pgs.15-18


And here's a classic: an excerpt from page 29 of the same book:

~~~~~ THE COST OF GRACE ~~~~~

" Hounded by the Pharisees, betrayed by a friend, forsaken by
His disciples, brutalized by police, beaten by His inquisitors,
led in disgrace to a rigged trial.
Arrogant men sitting in judgment over Him, crowning Him with
thorns, mocking and disdaining. Beating Him without mercy, nailing
Him to the cross, the worst and most shameful of tortures, stretched
out between two common thieves.
Miserably thirsty, utterly forsaken by His Father for the first
time in eternity, ... the picture of complete aloneness.
Hell on earth ! Not just one man's hell, but the hell of billions.
At any moment - in a millisecond - He could have called legions
of angels to deliver Him and destroy His enemies. Instead, He bears
forever the scars of sin, rebellion, mockery, and hatred...the
glorious scars of God's grace toward us. "

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

" The cost of redemption cannot be overstated. The wonders of grace
cannot be overemphasized. Christ took the hell He didn't deserve
so we could have the heaven we don't deserve. - THAT was the cost
of GOD's Grace toward a fallen race. "

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

(if that one doesn't warm your heart and bring a tear to the
soul and eye...perhaps nothing will: THAT was descriptive of
our Savior and LORD. - He deserves A L L of our allegiance
and our life. - without reservation.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
APPENDIX IV
"Be tenderhearted..." ~ Ephesians 4:32 
It is much easier to convince a human soul of its natural impurity, 
than to convince it of its natural hardness and utter destitution of 
heavenly and divine tenderness. The very essence of the Gospel is 
divinely-imparted tenderness and sweetness of spirit. Even among 
intensely religious people, nothing is rarer to find than a continuous 
and all-pervading spirit of tenderness. 
Tenderness of spirit is not the tenderness of mind and manner which 
results from high culture and a beautiful social training, tho these are 
very valuable in life, no doubt. No, it is a supernatural work throughout 
the whole spiritual being. It is an exquisitely interior fountain of God's 
own sweetness and tenderness of nature, opened up in the inner spirit 
to such a degree that it completely inundates the soul, overflowing 
all the mental faculties and saturating with its sweet waters the 
manners, expressions, words, and tones of the voice; mellowing the 
will, softening the judgment, melting the affections, refining the 
manners, and molding the whole being after the image of Him Who 
was infinitely meek and lowly in heart. 
Tenderness of spirit cannot be borrowed or put on for special 
occasions; it is emphatically supernatural, and must flow out 
incessantly from the inner fountains of life. 
Deep tenderness of spirit is the very soul and marrow of the Christ- 
like life. What specific gravity is to the planet, what beauty is to 
the rainbow, what perfume is to the rose, what marrow is to the bone, 
what rhythm is to poetry, what the pulse is to the heart, what 
harmony is to music, what warmth is to the human body, - all this, 
and much more, is tenderness of spirit IN CHRIST. It is possible to 
be very religious and even staunch and persevering in all Christian duties; 
possible, even, to be sanctified, to be a brave defender and preacher 
of holiness, to be mathematically orthodox and blameless in outward 
life, and very zealous of good works as well, and yet to be greatly 
lacking in tenderness of spirit, - that all-subduing, all-melting Love, 
which is the very cream and quintessence of Heaven, and which 
incessantly streamed out from the voice and eyes of the Lord Jesus. 
(Who, let us remember, is BOTH Lion and Lamb!) 
"O LORD, Thy gentleness hath made me great." ! ~ King David

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
And here's more beauty and Truth on a wonderful theme . . . 
DEFINING and UNDERSTANDING PRIDE Versus TRUE HUMILITY... 
There is no room in God's world and Kingdom for anything that even resembles pride! If it resembles a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, ...well, you get the picture. When are we going to learn? Does humility cause us to flaunt wealth, cheat, presume, to lie, contradict, seek high places among men, foment strife in other's lives, fleece our brethren or trust in our "chariots" (Psalms 20:7)? Humility sees the road ahead very clearly and never makes it's own way. Humility never breaks hearts, strays off or tramples a good name and never causes shame upon the name of the Savior, our Lord Jesus. Of all precious gems in the spiritual world, humility seems to be the rarest spiritual element these days. Even rarer still than discernment, for it is at the root of real life as God meant it to be. 
Humility is a foundation stone of Righteousness. Humility is 
unpretentious and quiet, trusting not in itself but in the Master, 
as a child, defenses down so to speak, open to instruction and 
reproof. It cloaks the man or woman in the old worn 'coat', 
causing calmness, meekness and rest, a patient waiting on a 
leading from Father God instead of one's presumptuous appetites. 
Humility is the ultimate appetite suppressor! Those who own and use a cloak like this are seeking the true way to wisdom, understanding and knowledge of God and truly LIVE! 
Remember that our "boldness" (spiritual courage) is of the Spirit of God. It is a result of the gift of Faith, a fruit of the Spirit. It is that which causes us to stand before God in confidence, speak His Truths to others and perform our humble tasks. Boldness is an attribute of the Holy Spirit and is not "showy" in a worldly sense. It is not to be confused with being prideful or brash ! There is plenty of boldness out there but not the Godly kind. Boldness and Humility live side by side in perfect accord. 

Please ponder this well. 
Humility is the godly force behind "being sober" in Romans 12:3. "Sober" is described in the Greek as: to be calm and collected in spirit, to be temperate, dispassionate, circumspect. We are instructed to live soberly: to be in one's right mind, to put a moderate estimate upon one's self, to curb one's passions. 
Remember also as the Scripture says, 
"let each of you esteem the other more highly than your self." ~ Philippians 2:3 ~ 
In other words: To cause others to feel and sense THEIR OWN WORTH AND VALUE, not to exalt our own ''importance'' in their sight or in the sight of GOD. 
HUMILITY is what causes this sobriety within us and seals the door to our passions, suppresses our wrongful desires, curbs the tongue, etc. Sobriety is that which is born of humility ! Humility is a good and godly gift we seek from God, not wavering when we ask it of Him (James 1:6). Are we still tossed by the storm and tempest of our prideful desire to have our own way in our lives ?. - Then we shall not receive from God unless we are humble, genuine and seeking after that which is pure and righteous, leaving the "agenda" on the ash heap. When we are called to Christ and truly surrender, we are no longer in "control" of our comings and goings. Study this. There is plenty of scripture to back this up. 
~ Start with 1 Corinthians 6:19. ~ 
And how does God resist the proud? Look at the scars! Look at the path of devastation leading right up to our doorsteps. We've judged, presumed, assumed, lusted and desired ourselves into ruin and the utter ruin of others in the path of our self-righteous lunacy. Foolishness may be forgiven but it often has long lasting side effects on those we have offended by our pride. Every time we venture from God's will, we are guaranteed trouble of one kind or another. Big or small, a mess is a mess. We haven't been cloaked in Humility! We haven't refrained our feet (Jer 14:10). We've veered off the right path again. And according to biblical logic, calamity follows if we do not walk in true humility and Agape/Divine Love. 
Remember: It is is always, "Faith THAT WORKETH by Love."

APPENDIX V
AN ENDTIME PRAYER FOR ALL INTERCESSORS . . . 
Abba-Father, we want to agree with the plans and purposes You have for the end of the Age which we can now discern is near. Therefore we pray in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the true redeemed believers to be delivered from worldliness, sin, and compromise; from materialism and greed; from selfishness and deception and the spirit of wickedness and rebellion that is in the earth today. We pray, O LORD, that each true child of GOD would discern the beast-system that is even now operating in the world already through various forms of consumerism, materialism, electronic webs of deception, and coveteousness ("which is idolatry.") We pray also that each true Christian would be fully equipped with the Word of GOD to withstand the onslaught of any antichrist/false religion which would try to deceive them. 
Father, we pray for the Bride of Christ to be fully prepared. That with the help of the 
Word of GOD and the Holy Spirit she would purify herself and make herself ready 
for the return of the LORD. That she would not give place to the Jezebel-spirit of 
usurping God's Government of righteous order and authority. That she would be full 
of faith and faithful as a true witness in the earth. That those in the Bride of Christ would not be driven by the driving-spirit of this Age so that they lose their first love, their place of prayer and intimacy with the LORD. 
We pray, O LORD, that Your people may be filled with the knowledge of Your will 
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that they may have a walk worthy of Thee, 
O LORD, fully pleasing unto You, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in 
the knowledge of GOD; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, 
for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks wholly unto Thee, O LORD, 
for You have qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in Light. 
{Colossians 1:9-12} 
Dear LORD, we also lift up the suffering Church to You, - those who are persecuted 
for the testimony of Jesus. Please strengthen and sustain each one by Your power and grace. Protect them according to Your Divine will and purpose, and grant them a great inner peace that nothing can shake. 
Father, we pray for any lost sheep to be found and brought into Your Kingdom, that all souls that are Yours would be safely rescued from the hands of the enemy and that this would be a quick work in the earth, according to Your time and purposes. LOOSE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT on all those who serve You in truth to bring in this last harvest of souls. Send us where needed, or use us to equip, provide for and stand with those who are sent by You. 
Last of all, dear LORD, we pray for the Remnant of Israel to be saved and sanctified, - and especially for the 144,000. Save them, prepare them for their mission, SEAL THEM WITH YOUR HOLY NAME and THE HOLY SPIRIT and EQUIP THEM IN ALL THEY WILL NEED TO BRING FORTH A FINAL WITNESS OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. Amen. 
We watch and wait for the trumpet to sound, for the time we will be taken out of this present evil world. Help us, help us to be faithful in the place of service and prayer til You return for Your own. - all this we ask in the precious, holy Name of The LORD Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior. Amen.

APPENDIX VI
THE KEY: 
~ THE RIGHT KIND OF PRAYER FOR REVIVAL. ~ 
"Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on 
of late and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is 
that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it 
simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. 
Prayer will become effective when we stop using it 
as a substitute for obedience." 
~ Dr.A.W.Tozer 
~ 1897-1963 ~ 
"Why will we just keep praying for revival and yet so many 
are not be willing to change in order to be more sanctified 
and obedient to the LORD.? We must be willing to do whatever the LORD wants to do in us and thru us: 
THERE, truly, is THE KEY." 
- Lynne Young Hummel 
PRAY for a revival of holiness and TRUE UNITY among the Body of Christ !
