“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Matthew 6:13, King James Version (KJV).
Greetings In The Holy Name Of Jesus Yahshuah,
My sisters and brothers, we pray for Christ’s sake, to heal us in our distress in trust and disbelief for Jesus Yahshuah is both the branch and the vine, as so requested by our President Donald Trump, United States Of America (USA). Jesus is the branch [Zechariah 6: 12- 13, KJV, “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”; John 15: 5, KJV, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”].
LORD GOD, HEAVENLY FATHER YAHWEH, we come to you in our most urgent need of salvation in the grace of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. LORD GOD, I NEED YOU! When all else is lost to the winds of change, I know I need you, in my ever - waking hour to save me, on my humbled knees, I pray for your saving grace. When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in the fiery furnace in dire need of your saving grace, I know you were there, the Godman, standing there next to them, in the gap of faith—-closing in the torment of disbelief to deliver them safe and sound out of the hands of those who did not believe that you are able to do the impossible and work all things together for good, deliver me today, my FATHER, out of the depths of despair back to your marvelous light of everlasting love in the favor of your only begotten Son, knowing the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Jesus, bears the burden of the darkness that escalates so rapidly to consume the only leadership that is possible—-that of your power could prevail to stand rightfully so, in Truth, forsaking the idea of outcasts in power, outcast me not, for in the day of the outcasting let the light of your glorious favor shine the relief of a free nation under God.
When the light of day was present, and so established the light of evidentiary Truth not hidden in the thoughts of the absent but present in the hearts and minds of believers of Truth, never failing to witness, for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit bear witness of Truth. To the power of GOD’s glory, let the light of day in the darkness of discovery shine the light of Truth, for I believe, in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to weigh the impossible thoughts of distress at the feet of the accusers and let the light of justice prevail to serve all of mankind even in a time of disbelief that cultivated distrust between members of the world that God so loved [John 3:16, King James Version]. Lord, we pray, you grant relief to sufficiently avail the Truth to all in need of the prayer of saving grace for the relief of light in a most darkest hour, let there be light.
We ask GOD for what we want for Jesus said so as the church grows as a mustard seed [Matthew 13: 31-32, KJV, “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.”], and speaks to the mountain, continuously fervently in prayer. God bless us one and all, to walk in the faith of Christ Jesus. Thank you LORD GOD. Thank you Lord Jesus.
HEAVENLY FATHER, we look to you, your saving grace, to expound upon the attitude of man. For you my HOLY FATHER created such a man and also desired to destroy such a man, for in the weakness of the flesh, let not the Spirit of the Law of Christ Jesus, given to us written by the hand of GOD, presented to the people by Moses, let the precept of grace, not fail us. For the wealth of man did not save man as so demonstrated in the test of Job a pious man of faith who held himself up so high in holiness that the Truth of his holiness was questioned as to why he was in need of such a test of faith. Let your strength hold us all up in this time of testing faith for there are times when a man desires to show Truth in strength of character but not overstep the bounds of the power of the HOLY FATHER, for there is but One GOD! Let not the demonstration of strength to take courage to perform in the will of GOD cast blindness over the eyes of those who could not ever perform righteously, for Christ Sakes, render us not blameless, without cause, to persecute the Spirit of Truth yet again, simply because God’s gift to one man overshadows the gift given to others.
Let us accept the will of GOD. For God did not give all men wealth. We hear the Words of Peter, the Rock, the successor to Christ Jesus himself, witnessing in the streets, according to Acts (3: 6-16, King James Version):
“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”
We steadfastly pray, fervently pray for God Almighty, to loose the leadership of the executive branch from the stronghold of the legislative branch, so that all the branches serve the people of such a great nation under God, not the flawed plan of an ambitious scheme to compete in power, for such a feat at least is foolish and at best without cause, [Matthew 5: 22, KJV, “But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.”]
for the power belongs to God given to Jesus, all power [Matthew 28: 18-20, KJV, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”], and in the prayer of our Lord and Savior as witness by the publican, tax collector, and disciple Matthew, “...For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” [Matthew 6:12-34, King James Version, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
We pray for sustaining grace, to lift us up, in our time of need out of the purpose of binding us in sin against our great nation but freedom to do the will of GOD in and for a great nation under GOD. We look to you, LORD GOD. LORD, save me, in the one body, in the kingdom of God, in heaven and here, on earth. LORD, grant favor to withstand the pressure of distrust and disbelief to fight the good fight back to the marvelous light of the Truth in GOD, to work in the will of GOD, without chastisement unto faith to do the will of GOD. Christ be with you.
God be with you. Walk with God. In the good faith of Jesus, let us purpose of things, for righteousness sake. Amen.
