Prayers for the month of May 2009

Meeting # 190 May 1/2009                                      AUDIO LINK

Jesus we all praise you tonight.

We all are doing well and we are sure you are the reason we are ok.

We thank you everything, and we know all things are gifts from you.

Never let us be sad or let the world get us down, we all have the greatest gift of all to be thankful for: Salvation.

Jesus spoke to his disciples when they also had doubts about their future, this is the promise he made to them and to us all:

John 14 1 thru 7

 ¹“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

 ²In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

⁴You know the way to the place where I am going.”

 ⁵Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

⁷If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

So let us all rejoice in the promises that God Almighty has made to all of us who keep our hands in the big man’s hands.

And let us also let all our friends know about Jesus, at work, in the public, when we are with enemies or with friends, let us always offer the truth about Jesus Christ!

Dropping the Mall for Jesus is what we call it up here on Channel Forty Six, and everybody in the United Friends Organization is burning rubber for God, Walking the Dog, and Slopping the Hogs, getting up and getting down for Jesus Christ!

Makes me proud to call you all friends, and makes me happy to know that when I die, I will be seeing most of you again.

Because the Bible teaches that I will know you in Heaven, and you will know me. We will be reborn and re-transformed in all of God’s Glory, and we will be together. That alone makes all the toil in this world worthwhile, just knowing we are Heaven Bound!

Amen

Oh Heavenly Father.

We all gain comfort in knowing that your love for us all here on Earth is magnificent.

But we also understand that even though you love us we still stand separated from you, unless we have accepted you Jesus Christ, as our Savior.

Because the Father cares so much for mankind, He did offer us a plan to be fully accepted by Him.

Salvation is a free deal offered to anyone and everyone, but you must accept it to benefit from the plan. . By the death of Christ on our behalf, the Lord opened the door for us to be saved, but He does not push anyone through.

Imagine we are in the jungle and you have fallen into quicksand. I throw you a rope, but you do not accept my rescue. You decide to get out of the mess you are in on your own.  In the same way, God made every provision for your salvation, but you must respond to His offer. Just as the trapped in quicksand man must reach out for the rescue rope, so each of us need to reach out in Faith, believing that you died for us Jesus.

 A trapped and lost man will not be saved merely because he knows I am standing close by with the rope, in case all else fails.

We  must trust in you Jesus all the time, placing all our faith and trust in you twenty four hours a day, and depend on you and you alone Jesus.

We know that simply relying on the fact that God loves us is not enough, and we also know The Spirit is reaching out to everyone to be saved Lord.

How many will be lost because they did not accept your rescue Lord?

I choose to believe in you Christ, and I surrender my life to you, help me to become a shining light in a world of darkness God, so that all must face the reality I am speaking.

Let him who has understanding call upon your name Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray,

Amen

Our Heavenly Father,
 Thank you for all you give us every day.
 We in the UNITED FRIENDS ORGANIZATION have all been blessed richly Lord, and we know that you supply all we have. Your love for us is evident in the way you always provide for us God.
 We praise you God for your gift of eternal life through Salvation from Jesus. And we all understand how fortunate we are that you care for us enough to give your only Son to the Cross that we might get another chance to prove we can be worthy of your love God. Lord I know I am a sinner.

 I try to do a little better each day to win the battle for my soul, and if you take my hand Jesus and walk with me, I know I will not stumble.
 Every day is a battle Lord, and since I accepted you as my savior, things haven’t been easy.                                                            

 I don’t remember reading any text in the Bible that said it was supposed to be easy either.  To the contrary there seems to be a lot of trials placed against Christians who pick up the cross and follow you.                     

 Frankly Jesus I don’t claim to understand how you work your miracles and sometimes the changes you make in me, take a long time to even see for myself, or I might be in distress and wonder why it seems you are not answering my prayers.
 Jesus it seems your time table and my time table don’t always connect, but I have faith in you Jesus.
 I know you love me and care for me, and if I submit to you, and hand you my Big Problems, you will take care of me, on your time.

That’s OK with Me Jesus; after all you’re the boss, not I.
 No matter what happens Jesus I will always Love you, and I will try my very best to be all I can be for JC.
 Jesus, we all believe you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world.

 Thank you for coming to Earth and dying so that we could have eternal life.

Please forgive all our sins.
 We are going to follow you with our lives now.

Please fill us with Your Holy Spirit and direct our steps.

Thank you for giving us Salvation Lord,
 Amen.

Meeting # 195 May 6/2009                                       AUDIO LINK

Almighty God,

Giving my life to Jesus has been a learning experience for me.         

 I often close my prayers by saying “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but honestly I have never understood the meaning of the third nameless spirit in the Trinity. Thankfully I was recently informed by this same Spirit that He is somebody, not a thing. Examination of the Bible reveals the truth. The Spirit of God has intelligence, will, and emotion.

First Corinthians 2:10-11 explains that the Spirit knows God’s thoughts and illuminates the truth for us.  

¹⁰but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
      The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

The Holy Spirit is the one who leads you to your spiritual gifts

First Corinthians (12:7-11) states it this way:

 ⁷Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. ⁸To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, ⁹to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, ¹⁰to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.  ¹¹All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines

In Romans 15:30, It describes the Holy Spirit’s Love for us all.

 ³⁰I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

In Ephesians 4:30, which warns against grieving Him.

³⁰And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Jesus you told us all in John 14:25 of a Helper that would follow you to Earth.

 ²⁵“All this I have spoken while still with you. ²⁶But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Aiding and assuring others are the acts of a person, as is teaching–the Holy Spirit’s primary work. I have always misunderstood the Holy Spirit and I know now that the Holy Spirit is a person not a thing. Just as God is the Father or Jesus Christ is the Son so then the Spirit is a part of the Trinity, and if you are a believer, He is with you now. God has given you His Spirit as a special Helper–one who sticks closer than a brother Proverbs. 18:24. Says 

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Thank you God for understanding that only comes from the third part of you, the Holy Spirit.   

 Amen.

Meeting # 196 May 7/2009                                     AUDIO LINK

Our Father the creator of the stars, we praise you in all your glory.

From the beginning of time, until the time we live, you have always watched over us believers here on Earth.

Many of us are going through tough times these days God, and as the Government normally do, they have not produced any plans that seem to make any difference to our quality of life here on this planet.

Most of us will work hard all our lives, and try to save up a little nest egg, so we can have security when we are too old to work. But for many of us the quest for money, jobs, financial pressures, after years of dollar deflation, and price inflation, our once flourishing Nation, is now struggling to keep its place in the world as a World Power, and our individual dreams of having money security is quickly fading away.

As knowledge increases, and vast networks and information highways link up, the world is becoming closer together, and greed and hatred spreads almost as fast as populations or technology.

People are moving to and fro and the world is so wrapped up in all of this that no one is just stopping to think, to meditate, to read your words God, to worship the Savior Jesus Christ

Our Governors and Senators act as if they are on a free for all spending spree, and as more companies sell out to the White House, more and more of the American Dream is being sold right along with it.

Jesus we Americans need your help. We want to restore our country the United States of America to the freedom and religious and financial leaders of the world.

We need you intervention Heavenly Father, even though we have turned our backs on God as a nation, and have been lead astray by fancy words and empty promises.

God have mercy on our great Nation, and fill us all with your Holy Spirit, and awaken the Spirit in all of us.

Let us not wait until another building is blown up to love one another and too pull together, let us all pull together now, as the current situation we face as a nation has for bitter consequences than anything anyone in this Nation has ever allowed to happen in our history.

If we are so smart, and we have so much technology, then why it is all the smart men in Washington don’t fear you God.

Are they so ignorant or arrogant that they can sit back and allow the destruction of our nation, without fear of the final judgment that will come to every man?

Do people have any scruples left at all God?

God we need you to love us now more than ever.

We need you to protect us from evil, and protect or Allies, especially Israel, our Long time friend, and you’re chosen people God.

Who will stand with them if our nation is destroyed?

Would not our damnation also be theirs?

Forgive us for our transgression Jesus, and forgive our nation for ignorant and sinful people, may they redeem themselves to you Father.

The seventh verse of the song America the Beautiful sums it all up about America:

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man’s avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stains
The banner of the free!

Thank you for loving us all, and for blessing us this day, may our country swiftly return to these notions:

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I Pray:

AMEN

 Jesus our father,

Hallowed be thy name.

Your work here on Earth has cleared our pathway to heaven, and we glorify your name Jesus.

The entire world belongs to you Father, and you have authority over the Heavens and the Earth.

We know your are the Savior who died on a cross at Calvary, taking with you our sinful ways.

We know you arose from the dead three days later Lord, and returned to be with the Alpha and the Omega the creator of the Stars.

May your holy spirit remain in us until we part from this life, and begin our new eternal life with you in Heaven, Father.

God we trust in you with our lives to do with what you want.

Psalms 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Thank you for all of your wonderful blessings God, and for Jesus of Nazarene, for saving us and delivering us from Evil.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray,

Amen

Meeting # 199 May 10/2009

 

Jesus we call your name tonight, that you might be with us in your spirit.

We all believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and we know that He works in the believer’s life. Lord you are very clear that serving God is not a one-man or one-woman show. You told the disciples they would not be ready until they received power from on high Luke 24:49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Only with the Holy Spirit can the believer live a true Christian Life. He enters your heart the moment you accept Christ as you Savior and remains with you, helping you adapt to your new way of thinking.

When the apostle Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” he was talking about the Holy Spirit’s continual presence. Philippians 4:13.

What it all means is the Spirit is a wonderful source for strength and power inside of each and every one of us who are saved. The Spirit is the one who helps you through those terrible times in life that you can’t seem to get through alone, in fact, the Bible says that He can do “far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” Ephesians 3:20.

I am sure that every one of us hear have seen or heard of miracles many times in our lives. All of those Fantastic stories, of miraculous victory over Evil, and Sickness, and suffering, through the power of Christ.

Remember during those times when it seems like all the odds are against you, the Spirit of God is working new happenings for you, opening new doorways, leading you to new friendships, Godly people, and better times.  Within you lies untapped potential — not your own strength and abilities, but the Holy Spirit’s unlimited might. His power will be unleashed in response to your acting on faith. Have faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit who lives within each one of you, they more than anyone, want you to be victorious.

Thank you for your countless blessings God,

Amen

Matthew 9:35-38  

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. ³⁶When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. ³⁸Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Jesus, today in the World we live in, the workers are few in comparison to the potential Harvest.

More of us need to spread the message throughout the lands, that Jesus Christ Lives, and as promised is coming back to harvest all us believers. When it comes to reaching the lost, all believers are personally responsible.

Jesus said, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” John 20:21.

It is so easy in the world we live in to not find time to harvest for you Jesus.

As technology increases, and as constant turmoil in the lives of many, blindness from the most important human endeavor, Salvation, has set in.

Matthew 9:27-30

 ²⁷As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

 ²⁸When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
      ”Yes, Lord,” they replied.

 ²⁹Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”; ³⁰and their sight was restored.

It is Faith that healed them, and it is faith that strengthens us all. Without faith we are not unlike the blind, we cannot see the light, and we cannot get excited about bringing others to you Jesus.

Let us grow with your eternal Spirit, so that we might be a shining light to those who are blinded.

Let us all rejoice for the Lord has prepared a place for us to remain in Heaven. Let us take our friends and neighbors, co-workers and family members with us, for we will know each other in Heaven as we did here on Earth, and we will have all of eternity to know God.

So let the Harvest Begin. Tell someone who is blind about the saving grace that comes only from our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ. Plant the seeds of faith into their hearts and give them hope for more in this life than strife and hopelessness.

Pray to God almighty that He might strengthen your resolve, so you can take on the ARMOR of faith. Preparing yourself for a battle

This battle will begin as soon as you accept Jesus as your Savior.

God will test your faith, He will allow you to experience hardships, and humility, and disappointments. God can deliver you from all of these if your Faith is strong. You will mature with God as the Holy Spirit guides you. Soon you will find yourself involved in the Harvest for Jesus Christ. Take the challenge, and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, and your strength, and your hope will always be with you. You will not always have a easy time trying to do what’s right for God, but Strength is gained as Faith is increased, and soon you will find that what is pleasing to God is also pleasing to you.

Then you will be able and willing to go out and Testify and Harvest others for Jesus Christ.

Thank you Jesus for delivering this message through the Holy Spirit of faith and strength and hope, as you guide each of us to Harvest this Earth for you.

Amen

Jesus our Father who art in Heaven,

We seek comfort from you tonight.

Many people feel like it is hopeless to try to be a good Christian because of the way they live now.

The feel like they are just too bad, too dirty, too rotten to ever have a chance to be saved, so instead they clam up and deny that you exist at all Lord.

These lost souls need to know that you are calling out to embrace them.

Scripture very clearly states that the Lord’s desire is for all people to be saved in (1 Tim. 2:3-4).

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Evil sinner you are never out of reach for God.

God is the creator of all things from the smallest to the most grand, and all things are possible through God who strengthens us all.

Jesus needs Christians willing to share their testimony!

That is why I share this message with you all today.

 God is calling out to all men of the Earth to make stead fast your house, get you lives in order, repent and be saved, and testify so that the harvest will be good, and the blessing will fall upon you like manna from the heavens, and you thirst will always be quenched.

Those of you out there who hear my voice, if you are a believer in the Nazarene named Jesus Christ, then you have been commissioned to make disciples for His glory.

 (Matt. 28:19-20).

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

For those of you who feel like you are out of God’s reach, don’t be foolish, the creator of the stars knows everything inside your heart, repent to him, and receive his never ending love.

For those of you who already have a father in Jesus, get busy and start telling your story to those willing to listen.

 Among them are men and women who will hear what the Lord has done in you and say, “If God can do that for you, He can do it for me too!”

May we all glorify the name of Jesus Christ!

Amen

Our Heavenly Father,

We admire and trust you above all others.

We know you are all knowing, and no-one can hide their thoughts to you.

(John 2:24). ²⁴But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. ²⁵He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.

(Acts 1:24) “Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen”

(Matthew 9:4). ⁴Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

There is no one who perplexes Jesus. No thought or action is unintelligible to him. He knows its origin and end. The most convoluted psychotic and the most abstruse genius are open and laid bare to his understanding. He understands every motion of their minds.

Jesus not only knows all people thoroughly as they were and are today, he also knows what people will think and do tomorrow. He knows all things that will come to pass.

(John 18:4).  ⁴Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”

The greatest thing that can be said of Jesus’ knowledge is that he knows God perfectly. We know God partially and imperfectly. Jesus knows him like no other being knows him.

(Matthew 11:27).  ²⁷“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

All the sciences that scratch the surface of the created universe are the simple compared to Christ’s immense knowledge of the created universe. Man’s knowledge is nothing compared to the ocean of knowledge that Jesus has of the Being of God himself.    God is infinite. The universe is finite. Knowledge of the infinite is infinite. Therefore to know God, as Jesus knows God, is to have infinite knowledge.

Therefore let us bow down and worship Jesus Christ.

Jesus alone is worthy of our trust.

He can show us the Father and give us irresistible wisdom

(Luke 21:15). ¹⁵For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

He can see how to make all things work together for our good

(Romans 8:28). ²⁸And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

None of his judgments about anything is ever mistaken

(John 8:16). ¹⁶But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.

He teaches the way of God with infallible truthfulness

(Matthew 22:16) ¹⁶They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are.

I say that no one else but Jesus Christ knows you, and watches out for you, He knows all things and he especially knows of the good inside of all of you.

Trust him. Admire him. Follow him.                                                                                        

In the name of Jesus I pray,                                                                                                

AMEN

Meeting # 203 May 14/2009                                AUDIO LINK

 Our Father who art in Heaven,

Thank you for another day.

We all have so much to be thankful for, and we can see your spirit working in our lives.

Even though we come out here every night, and pray together and spend time together, some of us still are not receiving your messages.

In an earlier pray this year we talked about “installing active clarifiers” on our faith, so we could fine tune in your spirit Jesus.

And those of us out there who still have old bad habits, or nasty dispositions, or like to just downright aggravate others, are not hearing the messages.

Let me tell you, it is better for a man to not be here to hear your messages if He or She have no intentions to tune in and hear the message, than it is for a man to not come here at all.

God wants you to stop pushing people’s buttons, He wants’ you to love your neighbor, not torment him. God has no desire to see you here, if you have no desire to be here.

God wants those who will listen to receive this message, and those who cannot tune in with the spirit, to repent, refocus, re-tune, because you are playing a dangerous game.

Salvation is no game friends, and to be faithful to God’s will, is to follow all of his commandments, especially the Golden rule to treat your neighbor as if He was yourself.

We as a group can move forward for Christ and deliver a strong message to the un-believers, that Love, and Good Will toward men are the doorways to Salvation.

There are those in the world who can hear and see the goodness and even witness it for themselves over and over, but still they cannot tune into the spirit for they are blinded by the Evil one. So they make up their own interpretations, and live in a way that they feel is good, they have not tuned into the spirit therefore the bible holds no in-sight for them at all.

It is well to remember that the Bible for many does not mean what it says, it means what you feel it says, the Bible means what you think it says, it means what your denomination says it says. The Bible can always be adjusted to a denomination mind set.

Such folk are spiritually blind. The real reason for spiritual blindness is in the words of the Apostle Paul in Second Corinthians chapter four when he says, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Do not let the goodness of this club to be made less by the actions of a few. There are always going to be difficult people who take pleasure in humiliating others, in offending others, in making others uncomfortable, but then you will see these same individuals at church on Sunday, without a shred of repentance for the way they have acted before you Jesus.

Do not let these people sway you from your quest to be “All you can be for J.C.”

To not attend the church because they are in the pulpit is exactly the opposite of what you should do. You should go sit there and be yourself, and pray for them, that God might speak to their hearts and bless them for they have not matured in the spirit, and they my friends are sitting on the edge of a mountain, and the soil is shifting, soon the rocks will come crumbling down on them. We as Christians must build our faith on Solid Rock the Rock of Jesus Christ.

Time is running out. The same way you look back and say man these last twenty years went so fast, so will the end of man be, swift, and without fail, without warning.

Before you know it you will be standing before God almighty, and you will have to account for your life. Do not play games with God. Get tuned in and stay on frequency people, because the storms are coming and the signal will become fainter and fainter as this world spirals down to the Pit.

God wants you to repent and be saved, and He wants you to do it now.

John 3-16

For God so Loved the World. That he sent his only Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish: but have ever lasting life.

Is that not a cause worthy of all your efforts?

Jesus loves you, and He loves your enemies too, no one is out of reach from God. He desires for you to be good to one another, not just in church, but all the time, twenty four hours a day seven days a week three hundred sixty five days a year. Don’t play games with your Salvation people; nothing is worth dying without Salvation.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Heavenly Father,

We pray to you tonight to give testimony of all the miracles you have performed in so many people’s lives. Most people feel their life is rather ordinary God, and that they don’t have any real spectacular events to testify about. But people should realize that any time you share testimony of the goodness that God has given to you, you give an un-believe something to believe in.

It might be a simple thing that you know God has done for you, and you should tell others about that small miracle, because life is full of small victories.

To stand up and testify about Jesus Christ and his saving grace on you, to proclaim that the Lord is your Sheppard and you will not want or need, for you trust in the creator to care for you, speaks volumes about your faith and God’s good love.

People listen to their friends more closely than their doctors in a lot of cases, they trust in what their friend has to tell them. Your simple testimony might awaken a spirit in a fellow brother or sister, as they begin to feel the need to confide in Jesus Christ our miraculous savior.

Jesus assures us all that to testify pleases God, and always returns goodness from Heaven.

In Isaiah 55 10 & 11 it speaks of the blessing for testimony.

10 As the rain and the snow
       come down from heaven,
       and do not return to it
       without watering the earth
       and making it bud and flourish,
       so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
       It will not return to me empty,
       but will accomplish what I desire
       and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Gods spirit is with you when you tell others about Jesus, and the Heavens will rain down Goodness on you, and your words will flourish and grow in the hearts of un-believers, and God’s will be accomplished.

Deuteronomy 11:13-14 

 ¹³ So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul- ¹⁴ then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil.

 

My heavenly Father you have taken me and changed me, and I am in awe of your magnificence. I was a retched sinner, and you forgave me and turned my spirit anew, everything I have is because of your Love.

God may your spirit encourage all to speak out and be bold for Jesus Christ. May your blessings rain down on us all good and faithful followers!

Amen

Jesus Christ,

I think I have a bad case of writers block.

I was thinking all day long : what can I talk about tonight, what words can I write that might inspire someone?

How can I write into words how you took me and saved me and forgave me of all my sins and also keep someone’s attention.

What can I say that will make them feel excited about Salvation?

Should I tell them how the Holy Spirit has inspired me to be a web developer, or a writer and speaker of God’s word, or my latest new talent, comic book creator? Or should I tell them all that I knew nothing about any of these wonderful gifts, until you sent the spirit to guide me.

 Jesus my Father give me strength to be  a good writer, a good speaker, help me to keep your word exciting and fresh, so that I might catch the eye of an unbeliever.

Then as I was praying these words I realized that this is the message. That you can change anyone Jesus, you can give people inner strengths and insights, which were never before realized.

Through your Holy Spirit all things are possible Jesus, and I pray with all my might that this ministry will grow larger and larger, and that more and more people tune into the UFOFREEBANDCLUB and share their testimonies too Lord.

Let everyone who has found blessings relate those experiences to an unbeliever, and let us not fear what to say as I feared writers block today, but instead let the Holy Spirit be your tongue.

 

As it is said in Mark 13:11
whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

 

Or in Luke 12:12
for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”

 

And may we close this pray tonight with another wonderful verse from

 

2 Corinthians 13:14
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

 

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit I Pray,

AMEN

Our Heavenly Father,

I knew the day that I decided to create this club, and to proclaim our basis for foundation was you Jesus Christ, that there were going to be a lot of challenges.

Believers who faithfully share their testimony are sometimes challenged. I do not write this to frighten or silence you. In fact, I encourage you to welcome questions, confrontations, and even persecution. These tests grow your faith and make you a stronger advocate for the Lord.

Sometimes unbelievers question everything you believed. They sometimes even laughed at you or become vindictive or even nasty.

Pray and search the Scriptures for the answers you may not have, and with each verbal skirmish, each run in you may have will help faith flourish. Courageously share the truth that you know.

If challenged, never be afraid to say, “I don’t know how to answer this question, but I’m going to find out.” Then get in the Word, get on your knees, or get with other believers so you will be more prepared “to give an account of the hope that is in you”

(1 Peter 3:15-17). 

 ¹³Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?

¹⁴But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear^]; do not be frightened.”

 ¹⁵But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

¹⁶keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. ¹⁷It is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

So when you over hear someone slandering you because you are trying to do God’s work, or you hear about people who slander your name, or talk down about you, while you stand in the light of Jesus Christ, be glad, because the Devil is so upset about not reaching you, that he is employing others to team up against you.

He is absolutely frustrated that you remain godly even under fire. That He will try almost anything to shut you up, for every victory for you, means a loss for Satan.

Give all your glory to God, and He will fortify you and give you all the strength you need to fight even the world’s most evil advisory, and win the battle, because God also sends the Holy Spirit to be on your Team.

So do not be dismayed, instead celebrate because you have the Devil jumping through hoops to try to bring you disgrace.

1 Peter 3:8-12 also reminds us how to fight these challenges in a way that is pleasing to God.

 ⁸Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. ⁹Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

¹⁰For, “Whoever would love life
      and see good days
   must keep his tongue from evil
      and his lips from deceitful speech.
 ¹¹He must turn from evil and do good;
      he must seek peace and pursue it.
 ¹²For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
      and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
   but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

Thank you Jesus for delivering us all from Evil, and help us to understand being a Christian is an uphill climb, and every step endures effort on our part.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray,

Amen

Meeting # 207 May 18/2009                                  AUDIO LINK

God in Heaven we praise you tonight..

I know as a sinner I cannot make it in this world without your love.

I know when I face a crisis in my life, that you will use your divine influence to change the chorus of things, as long as I come to you with a righteous heart. You know I cannot live a perfect life, no man can, but I know that when I turned to Jesus Christ for salvation that he cleansed my heart and gave to me a new nature. (2 Corinthians 5:17) say’s

 ¹⁷Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Yet even believers will back slide and still wonder back into old sinful ways. We must repent and confess with our mouths to Jesus Christ and he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9-10)

 ⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

Thankfully He still hears us as we are sinners, as long as we truly desire to walk his path. But I know I cannot knowingly live in sin, and choose not to turn from it because the Lord will not hear an unrepentant heart.

Cry out to God when trials and tribulations are upon you. Pray to him passionately with sincerity. (Psalm 34:15-17) say :

¹⁵ The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
       and his ears are attentive to their cry;

 ¹⁶ the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
       to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

 ¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
       he delivers them from all their troubles.

Almighty God I beseech all my friends to cry out to you when their hearts are troubled, cry out when they need your strength, cry out to you with a righteous heart and you will supply a solution, or an alternative plan, because your are All Powerful, Loving and Sovereign, and we fully trust that you will do what is best for our lives.

We thank you God for giving us another powerful message, about your awesome everlasting Love.

Amen

Meeting # 208 May 19, 2009                 

Jesus our father,

I come to you tonight a sinner, and ask for your forgiveness,

I am trying to be the best person I can be, and I know you are always there for me.

I know sometimes things happen in people’s lives that may not affect them directly, but never the less hits pretty close to home. And I am not talking about times of National crisis either; I am talking about when hard luck affects your neighbor, or friend, or someone at work, never feel as though a prayer to Jesus will not help them. Never let Satin lie to you and tell you that your single voice is not going to make a difference.

Pray is always heard by you Father, and when we come to you with a spiritual heart, you will intercede on our behalf, even if the request is for the guy down the street that we don’t personally know, but feel badly for their situation.

James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Almighty God we know you are able to heal us, and bring us inner peace, and we know that all things are possible through Jesus Christ who strengthens us all.

In Philippians 4:6 it states:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

So let us all share everything with you God, our inner most feelings are laid open for you to see. We know that according to the scriptures that when we ask for in the Name of Jesus, and we ask it with a righteous heart, that God Almighty in person will hear our prayers.

Psalm 66:18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
       the Lord would not have listened;

Whenever you hear of a terrible thing or tragedy that affects people you don’t even know, do not let Satin lie to you about how you cannot make any difference. You can make a difference and have a startling impact on the lives of others, when you pray to God for his help and his mercy.

Love thy neighbor as if he were you, treat him as you want to be treated, Pray to God for Help when he needs help.

Jesus thank you for filling me with your holy spirit so that I may pray with my friends tonight, you are in everything Lord.

Amen

Meeting # 209 May 20, 2009

Almighty God,

Today I read a simple scripture, that has so much reality and truth in it that I feel I need to pray with all my friends about it.

Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.”

God this simple verse tells it all. We as men and women will all have to face death.

Then all of us weather saint or sinner will have to stand before you and make an account for our lives we had here on Earth.

You will judge us all and decide whether or not we are worthy to be in your presence or weather we are to remain in Hell with Satin.

People today seem so wrapped up in worldly things that they have forgotten this simple verse “It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.”

Why else would there be so much sin and un- rest in the world.

This generation we live in are blinded by populations, and greed, drugs, and sex, homosexuality, and murder, violence, war and crime. Trying to pay bills and stay afloat, fighting road rage and hostility all the time. So the generation we live in is blinded to the scriptures.

I recently ask a young man if He had accepted Jesus as his savior, and nervously he laughed and said “God is a Fable, a Fairy Tale made up to give hopeless people hope.”

So this is the sentiment of the Now Generation.

Today we have more people in the world than ever before, but at the same time fewer and fewer people are hearing the gospel, they are blind to the scriptures, and sin is all around them.

So after examining the statement made that God is just a tale for hopeless people, I realized that He and millions of others just like him are the hopeless. They never heard about you God, Their parent were too busy getting high instead of sharing the message of Jesus Christ and his gift to mankind at Calvary. Their schools won’t allow them to worship you, and they are under the social pressures of all the other hopelessly lost souls to conform, be like the rest of the masses, to just go with the flow, use condoms and practice safe sex, to experiment with drugs or to get drunk, to steal or peddle dope, to work religiously, and make as much money as possible, Oh yes, Money the root of all Evil.

What would people do without their precise god Money?

Money, Money, Money, it all comes down money.

Well it is time for everyone to start thinking about that simple verse in Hebrews Chapter 9 Verse 27 “It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.” You see there is not going to be any escaping this day. There will be no scam to get you past the God of the entire Universe. There will be no price that can wash away all the things you must give account for. God almighty knows you, He has always known you, even before you were created. He will know what you have done, He will know what your heart as spoken, what your intentions where, he knows everything.

Pray for the Now Generation. Pray that they might have the veil lifted from their eyes that Satin has constructed specifically to blind them.

Pray for them even though you may not even know them, pray that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God will fill them, and rescue them from certain despair.

The road to Heaven is a narrow path, and will be traveled by few, but the road to hell is a super highway, and everybody is racing there as fast as they can.

You as believers owe it to Jesus who died for you, to pray fervently that this generation will prevail, keeping intact the Doctrine and policy that governs all men as created equal, by the people for the people under God in divisible and with liberty and justice for all men. May God forgive and have mercy on the Now Generation.

I pray for all of the people of this lost time, may the Holy Spirit guide them to Jesus.

Amen

Meeting # 210 May 21, 2009                    AUDIO LINK

 Jesus our Father,

We come to you tonight as a club a team a union of people who all are seeking the same thing: A friendly place to go share quality time with our friends in a Christian atmosphere, free of ridicule and hatred.

There are so many different ways to fall into trouble these days, it seems like every where a person turns there is temptations to do wrong.

And it is a challenging life to be a Christian, and to act in a way that is pleasing to God.

The normal society labels us as “Jesus freaks” or “religious fanatics”, or “Holy Roller” because we choose to lead our lives with a sense of responsibility toward our magnificent creator. It is easy to live the life of a sinner, and after a long period of time, Jesus himself may stop trying to reach the unreachable hopeless sinner. The Lord is very patient toward everyone and wants everyone to come to repentance. .

2 Peter 3:9  ⁹The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

But we also know from scripture that God at some point might stop wooing you back to his graces and let you do the evil you do.

In Exodus it tells of the Pharaoh who hardened his heart when Moses requested the Israelites’ freedom (Ex. 8:15, 32; 9:34).

But eventually, God hardened Pharaoh’s heart which means that He let the wicked ruler have his way.

There is no way to tell when you will give up on someone Jesus and stop working in their lives, because sometimes you forgive someone at the very last seconds of their lives, as many people have accepted Jesus just before dying, and the Holy Spirit was with them to the last moment of life. But other people keep rejecting Christ or postpone thinking about salvation. Eventually, God may let them become desensitized so they see no need for Jesus. Continually rejecting the Lord is risky.

If you’re not a believer but are seem to be interested in spiritual things, your heart remains workable, and the Holy Spirit is still working in your life. Don’t put off a decision about Jesus Christ. You don’t know when God might stop leading you to Himself. The wisest thing you can do is choose to follow Him today.

If you have not yet chosen Jesus Christ as you savior just say this next pray with me where you are right now, and believe in its meaning, and you can receive the gift of eternal life.

Jesus I choose you today to be my savior, I know your are the son of God almighty, and only through repentance to you can I be forgiving for all my past sins, for no man comes to the Father lest it be through you Jesus. I am a sinner and ask that you forgive me of my sins; I know you died on a cross at Calvary so I could receive this gift from you now. Thank you for granting me salvation Jesus Christ.

Amen

 Rev. Robert D. Wright 05/21/2009

 

Meeting # 211 May 22, 2009                        AUDIO LINK

Our Heavenly Father,

Today I wanted to pray with my friends about the importance and the purpose of the Holy Bible. God your plan to save your children is the Bibles main purpose.  It tells the story of mankind lost and his quest to be saved, and the story of Jesus Christ, who was God almighty in the flesh, living among us on Earth.

To read the Bible often helps us as Christians to accurately understand its meanings.

This glorious book was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty different prophets, all having different views but one central theme, namely salvation of mankind through the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 Moses started the book in a desert in Arabia and John finished this glorious tale of victory over death alone on the island of Patmos, this story is centered on your love for us all God, and your desire that we all come to you through Jesus Christ.

As we all grow in Christ, we sanctify and make Holy our faith in you God.

Just as the Bible is a journey of sorts, so it is also the life of a Christian. There are many things to learn along our way, and it is up to us as individuals if we desire to take the shorter path, or we may decide to take the longer route to God. Certain people grow slower after salvation, but if they are encouraged by fellow believers and pursue maturity through prayer, meditation on Scripture, they will be able to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:17).

All of us here in the UFOFREEBANDCLUB have noticed a change in our lives and character since our fellowship began last October God.

We want to mature with you Father and ask that you lead us to the answers we seek in the scriptures, through prayer, and through continued friendship, sharing our delight in the Lord Jesus Christ repenting our sins, and living purposeful lives for His glory.

In the Name of our Glorious Father and Creator and the World I pray,

Amen

 Rev. Robert D. Wright 05/22/2009

 

Meeting # 212 May 23, 2009                 AUDIO LINK

Our Heavenly Father Jesus,

I am sometimes asked “what do I have to do, or not do to be a Christian?

We have been talking and praying all week about the first step and that of chorus is coming to you Jesus and asking for forgiveness and repenting our sins. But the next steps are somewhat harder to define, so I decided to look in scripture to find out what God thinks.

I found a great summary in the book of Galatians where Paul had this to say about living by the Spirit.

Galatians 5: 16-24

 ¹⁶So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. ¹⁷For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. ¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

 ¹⁹The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. ²⁵Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

The Lord teaches us how to live the “exchanged life” in

Galatians 2:20

 ²⁰I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 Our sinful nature has been crucified with you Jesus, and your life is expressed through us as we surrender to the Holy Spirit’s influence.

I hope everyone can recognize changes in themselves as they look back over their walk with you Lord.

Perhaps some of us can identify an area where God still needs to work in our lives.

Don’t let anything stand in the way of allowing Him to live fully through you, surrender to the Holy Spirit, asking Him to help you become more like Jesus. 

In the name of the Savior Jesus Christ I pray,

Amen

Rev. Robert D. Wright 05/23/2009

Our Father who art in Heaven,

Thank you for this beautiful day.

We had a really good time at the park today flying kites, any success that we had today we owe you all the glory.

Thanks for the big wind at the end of the day God,

We were able to finally get the kites way up there, and we all had a lot of fun.

It is always nice to get together with friends and share in good clean fun.

We did not have any music, or any distractions, just us all together talking, laughing and having some fun, in the sun. We couldn’t have been a better day Lord Thank you.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the members of this great club; I cherish my friendships with each and every one of you.

Lord we all are trying to be better people, individuals who care about others, and who pray for one another.

May your Holy Spirit continue to guide us Jesus, and help us to mature in our faith, and to help us become all we can be for Jesus Christ.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, and helped make the day so special.

It was a pleasure to hang out with Marks Mom and Dad, Doug and his daughter Star, and all the kids that showed up with Timmy and Tracy seemed to have a lot of fun.

We want to continue to try to be close friends and share in all kinds of things together Lord, and we thank you for everything you provided for us today…

May God bless each of you, and keep you all safe from harm, my Friends, you all know who you are, God bless you all!

In Christ Name I pray.

Amen

Jesus

    We know you are the son of god.

    You lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.

    “God almighty showed mercy for us in that he allowed Christ to die for us.”

Jesus rose from the dead and now he lives in heaven with God his father.

He offers us the gift of eternal life — of living forever with him in heaven if we accept him as our lord and savior.

Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except by me.”

God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be his child. “As many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on his name.”

Jesus we love you and we know you are our savior and the Son of God almighty in Heaven.

 Jesus bend our will and ways back towards you.

Allow us to yield and cooperate with you and allow the Spirit of God to fill our Hearts.

 Oh Lord please eradicate every thought pattern and activity promoting dependency on anything other you.

I will rely on you to attain security, salvation, or physical and emotional comfort.

I will not advance myself at the expense of others, or participate in hateful un-Godly acts. 

The truth is that we all have areas in our lives where we need God’s help.

Help us Jesus to honestly look inward to discover wrong habits and thought patterns.

Our Heavenly Father helps us identify those faults, and He will lead us down a path which is righteous and help us overcome and be renewed…God let us all surrender to your will so we can become wise and useful servants for you,

  Amen

Rev. Robert D. Wright May25/2009

 

 

Meeting # 215 May 26, 2009                        AUDIO LINK

Our heavenly Father,

We have all accepted new purpose for our lives when we accepted you as our Savior. We know to be a follower of you Jesus means each of us will be going through certain changes so that we can live righteously. All of us will be going through changes in our beliefs as we try to think more like you Jesus.

The worlds influence is very strong. If we are part of the current culture, we would probably push ahead of others, take credit for our accomplishments, and keep material possessions in high esteem. But followers of God know through scripture that the last will actually be the first.

Mark 9:35-36   ³⁵Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.”

 ³⁶He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, ³⁷“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

We must realize that God deserves all our praises and anything we have we owe it all to God.  

Psalm 96:4 ⁴ For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
       he is to be feared above all gods.

 We also all need to learn how to be generous, as the Bible describes generosity equal to love.

1 Tim. 6:18 ¹⁸Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

We all realize that you are first God in all matters, and we must trust in you, and do as the spirit leads us. When we make choices we need to make sure those choices are pleasing to the Father, and in line with his plans, not our own.

This might mean getting rid of old habits that keep us separated from God, or it might mean we should be more generous or loving toward others. Each person knows what the spirit is telling them to do.

Our Father wants and deserves His children’s full devotion

Matthew 22:37 ³⁷Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

 The Bible describes Christ’s servants like this:  

2 Corinthians 6:10  ¹⁰ sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

Jesus Christ is supreme over all things forever, but suffering and death remain for a while. Life is not simple. There is pleasure, and there is pain. There is sweetness, and there is bitter suffering. There is joy, and there is misery. There is life and health, and there is disease and death. And therefore emotions are not simple. For those who love others, and not just their own comforts, this complexity means that we will rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep  

Romans 12:15 ¹⁵Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

And there is always someone we know who is weeping, and someone we know who is rejoicing. And therefore we will learn the secret of “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” and joyful yet always sorrowing. Those amazing words that describe the Christian soul–”sorrowful yet always rejoicing”–mean that suffering remains for a while in this world, but Christ is supreme now and forever.

We all will gain confidence of knowing that God will use us to fulfill His plans through the Holy Spirit.

Amen

Rev. Robert D. Wright May26/2009

 

Meeting # 216 May 27, 2009                               AUDIO LINK

Our Heavenly Father, today I pray for hope.

1: Hope to desire with expectation of obtainment 2: to expect with confidence:  Trust.

This is the way Webster’s Dictionary describes the word HOPE. We as Christians have a somewhat different meaning for this word.

Hope for Christians is only obtained by trusting Jesus Christ, as we desire for something good to happen, and our expectations for it to happen. Jesus is our only source for hope.

Jesus you know what is best and you have all the Glory and Power to fulfill. Any other type of hope is grounded on unstable ground, a fantasy and beyond our control.

A lot of us hope for change in our earthly life, but you have given us all hope for a life after this one in Heaven. As we hope and hopes fade away, the eternal promise you have made to us all Lord, will never fade away. This hope and desire to live with God is your only real security, you’re only sure shot for true happiness.

What more do people need in this life than to have food and a place out of the weather? 1 Timothy: 6-10 talks about what we need and not what we want when it is written:

 ⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain. ⁷For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. ⁸But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. ⁹People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. ¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s.

But Heaven can seem so far away at times, and how am I supposed to endure the pain I am experiencing here and now. Jesus what about times when our situation is not improving–then, what is God doing that is “better”?

Peter tells us you give us these bad times to test our faith, which will be repaid to me when you return to Earth to collect us – the faithful. Then we will be exalted in praise, glory and honor. When we lose hope, our faith grows stronger, and our hope in your Father, increases.

Peter describes this better in:

^{1 Peter 1:3-9   3}Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, ⁵who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. ⁷These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. ⁸Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, ⁹for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Christ promises us hope not only for eternity, but also for this life. Those times that God does not deliver us from difficulty, we can be sure He is doing a greater work within us. When we finally reach our eternal home, we’ll recognize the immeasurable value of the faith He produced in us as we kept our hope in Him. 

Father we trust in you to do with our lives what you see fit, always trusting in the Lord God in Heaven to deliver us from Evil.

Amen

We have been praying lately about hope, and trials we are all going through today.

 Hopelessness and worldly despair can blind a believer from seeing the glory of God.

As our trials and tribulations increase in this world let us focus on the Lord closer and closer, through prayer and scripture .Sometimes this can seem like a hard if not almost impossible task for someone who is getting the beat down, but hope awaits those who are willing to see life from God’s perspective. 

Romans 5:1-5

 ¹Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ²through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. ³Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Sometimes people also lose hope because the old sinful habits keep calling them back like a plague, robbing them from our spiritual connection with you Father Jesus.  But the sin that hides inside us can be fought with the help of the Holy Spirit, from which God has left with us, to help us, and guide us back to God, if we only surrender to his authority and depend upon him; He will heal us from the inside out.

Oh Jesus our father let us all pray for hope for our great country the United States of America. May the Holy Spirit flow down upon all the peoples of the USA that we as a nation might bend back to our Glorious God in Heaven.

May we pray for a return of God to our country, and strength in America, the kind of strength that can only come from you mighty god. As it is written in  

Proverbs 3, 5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.  

We praise you father, and acknowledge that we are nothing without you, and thank you for all your blessings.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray this pray for Peace and Joy:

Amen

Meeting # 218 May 29, 2009                     AUDIO LINK

Our heavenly Father,

Tonight I pray for friends everywhere, and for their Salvation through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

God loves us all and wants us to have a personal relationship with him forever.

Our heavenly Father also has a purpose for our lives.

He gave us a definite promise in Jeremiah, 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God created you to share life with Him. He wants you to grow as close as you can now so you can spend the rest of eternity in Heaven with him. The only thing that can keep this from coming true is SIN.

Everything we do wrong and we know it that is sin. Every one of us is guilty of sin, and no one ever walked the face of this planet, except Jesus Christ, who did not sin, so you are not alone my friends.

Romans 3:23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

There is a certain penalty for our sins, if we do not seek forgiveness from Jesus Christ as explained in Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Everyone listen to me when I say you cannot get to Heaven for doing good deeds, becoming baptized or going to a church, these things are pleasing to God but just not enough to make the final cut. But there is hope Friends, God loves us so much that He sent his only son, Jesus, to earth.

Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and then died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins

Romans 5:8. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Three days later, He arose back to life and now He lives in heaven.

John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

To see and live with God and go to heaven after you die, you must accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord.

Salvation can be yours if you receive Him now.

Say this next simple prayer with me, no matter who you are, no matter where you are, if you here my voice, or you read these words, God is calling out to you in love right this very moment in your life and believing that Jesus will forgive you of all your past, if only you ask him, is the starting point for a new life with God. 

Just say after me:

“Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world.

Thank you for coming to Earth and dying so that I could have eternal life.

Please forgive all my sins.

I am going to follow you with my life now.

Thank you for giving me Salvation Lord.

 Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and direct my steps.

I give my life to you Jesus, to do what you will.

 In Jesus’ name,

Amen.”

If you just ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior congratulations, Friend you will definitely be in Heaven.

Hallelujah, God is Great!

Can I get a BIG Amen?     

AMEN

Meeting # 219 May 30/2009                   AUDIO LINK

 Jesus our father,

Many people today know you are the savior, but they don’t get a grasp on what your mission is here on Earth to man. The problem is not you Lord but our inability to grasp the fullness of the man Jesus Christ.

A lot of people question your divine love for us all because they have bad circumstances in their lives. They question your love when there are tragedies or hurt, and they question how God can allow them or the ones they love to suffer so. We can’t possible understand why anything bad happens, but rest assured God’s compassion and Love for us is bigger than this world, and one day, He will make all things better.

If you life circumstances are getting you down, chances are that the problem is also be antagonized by one who wishes to cause you suffering, Lucifer, but never God, God is all loving. If you feel inadequate or un clean because of things in your past or sins that won’t stop haunting you, if you compare your situation with others and envy them, you will end up hopeless and guilty of failing.

The lord will never scold you or tell you to “Get your act together” and maybe I will forgive you. His forgiveness is based on his love for us not our behavior, so don’t expect Jesus to promote this kind of self condemnation. Satan however specializes in making you feel like hell, and He is an expert at pushing all of your buttons.

Do not believe his lies for one second, even when it all is ready to go right down the drain, do not stop believing in God my friends. If we as believers begin to doubt that God cares for us, then we in essence are saying the scriptures are a lie, and I am here to tell you right now, every word of this Bible is one hundred percent true, so never be discouraged and think God has forgotten you. He knows all you are going through, and he promises to never give you a burden you cannot bear. The Lord wants each of us to experience His great love in a personal, intimate way. Don’t let the Enemy’s lies or life’s hardships steal the enjoyment and security of this great blessing. When doubts arise, rely on the truth of God’s Word. He loves you. Believe it, and eventually you will feel it. 

Ephesians 3:14-19 for this reason I kneel before the Father, ¹⁵from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. ¹⁶I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

In the name of the Father who will we always trust:

Amen

Rev. Robert D. Wright May 30/2009

 

Meeting # 220 May 31/2009

Jesus,

We have all come here today

To hear about your love

You were sent down to us on Earth

from Heaven up above

Without you we are nothing

in all things you exist

We will follow faithfully

salvation we won’t miss

in all the scriptures

in all the books

you are the one we seek

you walk among us here on Earth, both the mighty and the meek

help us Lord to do our best

to live our lives like you

to do our best continuously in everything we do

to keep God first above all things

the worldly and our flesh

that with our faith you bind us up our spirits they will mesh

As we age and we grow old allow us to reflect

on all the things you’ve done for us, we give you our respect.

God help the masses of the world to bend back toward the light

and bless them who on bended knees worship you at night

God most of all we love you for the son Jesus Christ

Who took away all our sins and gave us back our life

the only life that matters the eternal one that’s real

where all our cares are washed away

and love is all we feel.

We will walk on streets of Gold everyone is there

we will live in happiness you will provide our care

Thank you God for everything, that comes along with life.

The good the bad and the ugly, and all our woes and strife

it makes me stronger knowing that

you are always there for me.

And when the mountains crumble others they will flee.

I will stand in your grand light with crowns upon my head

along with all who once did live, but no longer now are dead.

And on that day of judgment Lord you will take me home,

no longer will I wait, no longer to be alone

The place you have prepared for me, and all who worship you

We will live eternally, with THE BREAD OF LIFE from you.

 

Thank you lord for this wonderful prayer, I honor you Jesus and long to be with you,

Amen

Rev. Robert D. Wright 05/31/09
