</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> A Prayer for my Husband Father in the name of Jesus I seek you for the mind of my Husband for the weapons of his warfare are not carnal but mighty through you to the pulling down of strongholds. For these strongholds have set themselves up against his mind, his emotion, spiritual relationship, his finances, family and marriage. Therefore I cast down imaginations, and every high thing that has set itself up in his mind to exalt itself against the knowledge God, and to bring into captivity every thought of lust, pride, guilt, insecurity, uncleanness,promiscurity and unforgiveness. But transform his mind by renewing it through the power of prayers, songs, spiritual teachings redirect his mind. Where his conscience has been seared by the negative instill that which is moral and good. Stir the Holy Spirit to convict him when he is making wrong decisions. Never let him lean to his own understanding but acknowledge you in all of his way. Where Satan wants him to doubt and believe the lies that he has placed in his mind give him the helmet of salvation to protect his mind for Lord your word is sharper that any two edged sword it penetrates to the dividing soul and spirit, joint and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of his heart. Nothing is hidden from you. I pray that thou would keep him in perfect peace. May he come to know you and trust in you. No more shall past relationships come to mind, or be remembered, visit, nor be repaired neither shall he be able to start new ones that are not of you Father. He will love you with all his heart with his entire mind and with all his soul. With readiness of mind he shall search the scriptures daily for his daily walk with you. He will serve the Lord with all humility of mind. That he will know the mind of the Spirit because it maketh intercession for him according to the will of God. Therefore let this mind, which was in Christ, also be in him.Ceate in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him. I pray that he will present his body a living sacrifice Holy and acceptable unto you. Deliver him from the power of darkness save his soul Lord. He will overcome by the blood of Jesus. And no weapon that is formed against him shall be able to prosper. Therefore every life that he has adjusted to, that is not of God destroy it in the name of Jesus. Deliver him from every cage mentality in the name of Jesus. Every demonic cage restricting his life receives the fire of God on it. Every cage of non-achievement working against him return to the sender, bring him out every house of bondage. Every good thing that has been kept from his life I thank you Lord that it will find him by fire. He will achieve what no one in his family has been allowed to achieve. And I pray that he will love his wife as Christ loves the church and also died for it, that he will love her as he loves himself. In Jesus name amen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>scriptureprayersformarriagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05740761293146076763noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894890413857549238.post-25094506057233696992011-07-21T06:22:00.001-07:002011-07-21T06:22:54.462-07:00For Married Women Only<div style="text-align: justify;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--> <m:smallfrac m:val="off"> <m:dispdef> <m:lmargin m:val="0"> <m:rmargin m:val="0"> <m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"> <m:wrapindent m:val="1440"> <m:intlim m:val="subSup"> <m:narylim m:val="undOvr"> </m:narylim></m:intlim> </m:wrapindent><!--[endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

I will extol You at all times; Your praise will always be on my lips. You are faithful to all Your promises. Thank You, Lord that You are turning the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers this month of June. I pray that HUSBAND as a father has compassion on his children, as the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

Lord, You called HUSBAND to be free. Therefore, do not let sin reign in my husband’s mortal body so that HUSBAND obeys its evil desires. I pray that HUSBAND will not use his freedom to indulge in the sinful nature; rather, HUSBAND will serve others in love. My prayer is that HUSBAND will live by the Spirit, and he will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For 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 HUSBAND does not do what he wants. Guard my husband’s life and rescue HUSBAND let him not be put to shame, for he will take refuge in You. May integrity and uprightness protect my husband, because my hope is in You. From the Lord comes deliverance for HUSBAND May Your blessings be on my husband today.

Lord, I have not stopped praying for my beloved husband asking You to fill him up with the knowledge of Your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

But my husband’s delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law HUSBAND meditates day and night. HUSBAND is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever HUSBAND does prospers.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen HUSBAND with power through Your Spirit in his inner being so that Christ may dwell in HUSBAND s heart through faith. I pray that You will make HUSBAND to be made new in the attitude of his mind, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. I pray that HUSBAND as a father will not exasperate his children but instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. I pray that my husband will love me, his wife as he loves himself, and I pray that I will respect my husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

I am like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. Lord, lead HUSBAND who is blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths You will guide them; You will turn the darkness into light before him and make the rough places smooth. These are the things You will do. Thank You that You will not forsake my husband and all my loved ones. Praise your Holy Name. Amen.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my cry, do not be silent at my tears. Put my tears in a bottle, are they not in Thy book? Since I am afflicted and needy, let the Lord be mindful of me. Thou art my help and deliverer. Do not delay, O my God." (From Psalms 56 and 40)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">My close friend, _____, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, then I could bear it, nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, then I could hide myself from him. But it is _______, a man my equal, my companion and my familiar friend, we who had sweet fellowship together." (Psalms 41 & 55)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. Hold them guilty, O God, by their own devices, let them fall! In the multitude of their transgression thrust them out for they are rebellious against Thee. Let them be appalled because of their shame. All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall suddenly be ashamed. Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon Thee. Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent. In Thee, O Lord, I have taken refuge. In Thy righteousness deliver me. (Psalms 7, 9 & 31)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Though they intend evil against Thee, and devise a plot, they will not succeed. When my enemies turn back they stumble and perish before Thee. Thou hast blotted out their name forever and ever. The very memory of them has perished. Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more. And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there. But the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant properity. (From Psalm 21)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"Thou dost surround the righteous with a shield. In peace I will both lie down and sleep. For Thou alone dost make me dwell in safety. Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and call upon Me in the day of trouble. I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me. (From Psalm 4)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord. Be their shepard also and carry them forever. I would have despaired if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord. (From Psalm 27)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"For your huband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of Hosts; for the Lord has called you, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of ones youth when she is rejected, says Your God" (Isaiah 54:5-6)</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">"I ask You, Father, to rebuke and bind satan in the Name and through the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask you to build a Hedge of Thorns around ______ so that anyone who is interested in him will lose interest immediately and leave. I base my prayer on the command of Your Word which says, "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate" and "Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." and, "The husband should fufill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wifes body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husbands body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.", as well as, "Dont you know that you yourselves ae Gods temple and that Gods spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys (defiles) Gods temple, God will destroy him, for Gods temple is sacred, and you are that temple", "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Flee from sexual immorality. All others sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." Therefore I will block ______ path with thorn bushes, I will wall ________ in so ________ cant find his way. ______ shall chase after his lovers but not catch them. _____ will look for them but not find them, then ____ will say, I will go back to my wife, ____, for I was better off then than now. Therefore I will allure ____, bring ______ into the wilderness, and speak kindly to _____. For I will remove the names of Baals from _____s mouth. Then the Lord said to me, "Go love ______, a (man) yet an adulterer. For this reason a man, _____, will leave his Father and Mother and be united to his wife, _____, and then they, _____ and _____, will become one flesh. Havent you read He replied that at the beginning the creator made them male and female and said "For this reason a man, ______, will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, _____ and the shall become one flesh". So they, _____ and _____, are no longer two but one, therefore what God has joined together let man not separate. I hate divorce, says the Lord thy God of Israel. Husband, ______, love your wife _____ just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy cleansing her, _____, by the washing with water through the Word. In this same way husband, _____, ought to love his wife, ____, as his own body. Drink water from your own cistern, and fresh water from your own well ______. Should your springs be desperesed abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be yours alone, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountains be blessed, ____, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, _____. As a loving hind and graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Place ____ like a seal over _____s heart, like a seal on ____s arm, for ______s love for ____ is as strong as death, _____s jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench _____s love for _____, rivers cannot wash it away. If _____ were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. For though _____ walks in the flesh, _____ does not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of ______s warfare are not of the felsh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of the fortresses. _____ is destroying every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and _____ is taking every thought captive to the obediance of Christ. For I now rejoice, not that ____ were made sorrowful, but that ____ were made sorrowful to the point of repentance, for ____ were made sorrowful according to the will of God, in order that ____ might not suffer loss in anything through us. For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation. but the sorrow of the world produces death. Lord God, Your Word says that if I see a man sin and it is not a sin that leads to death, that I should pray for him and if I pray for him, You will give him life. Father God, in the Name of Jesus and in the Blood of Jesus shed for _____ and I on the cross of Calvary, that both _____ and I accepted as a payment for our ransom, and asked Jesus to take our sins upon Himself so that we may have life, I come before You day and night unceasingly lying my prayer and petitions before You for ______'s life. Bring him out of captivity Lord God, give him life in You, and restore him to his land. Your Word is Your promise to us that hope in You. Please Lord God, do not hide Your face from me, reach down and rescue us from the pit. Keep Your Word Father God, show us Your mighty hand in our marriage circumstance as I do not and will not focus on the circumstance itself, but will focus on You, keeping my eyes upon You Lord, knowing that You will turn our marriage circumstance around, that You, Lord God, will reverse the curse on our marriage! I love You Lord, I thank You with all my heart. You, Lord God, are my first love, my hope, my light in the darkness, my reason for living. For the only thing worth living for has been the blessing of being chosen by You Father God, to be a heir in Your Kingdom, to be called Your child, to know that I am spoken for by You. Preserve my life Lord God, preserve Kevins life, preserve what You have joined together and make it whole in You. I praise Your Holy Name. Lord life me up and set me on the solid rock and I will endlessly sing and dance my praises to You and I will proclaim Your mighty works all the days of my life! I love and thank you Father God..forever and ever, and I ask all in the precious Name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen</div><div style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

• Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.<br />
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it —he will be blessed in what he does. If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. <em>(<a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=James+1%3A19-26" title="NIV James 1:19-26">James 1:19-26</a>).</em><br />

As I turn my ear to Your wisdom, help me to apply my heart to doing things YOUR way. I know you are the giver of wisdom; help me to hear what you want me to learn even if I don’t always understand Your ways, or why you allow certain things to happen in my married life. I want to trust you with my whole heart. Please help me. I know that as I trust in You, You have promised me that You will make my paths straight. Thank You. <em>(Based on <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+2%3A1-6" title="NIV Proverbs 2:1-6">Proverbs 2:1-6</a> and <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+3%3A5-6" title="NIV Proverbs 3:5-6">Proverbs 3:5-6</a>.)</em><br />
• Lord, help me so that “love and faithfulness” never leaves me, no matter what happens within my marriage. Show me how to bind them around my neck and to wear them around the tablet of my heart so they protect me. Help me to guard my heart from the temptations that are all around me. You know my weaknesses, but so does the enemy of my faith. I don’t want to do things that would dishonor You or my marriage vows. I want to be a promise keeper, just as You are a promise keeper.<br />
Give me discernment when temptation is waiting to ambush me. I don’t want to stumble into that which will snare me into sin. Help me to “preserve sound judgment and discernment” and not to let them out of my sight, for I know they will be life for me. I know that “there is a way that seems right” but that it can lead to death. Help me not to go there. For you are my confidence and you are able to keep my foot from being snared. Thank You Lord. <em>(Based on <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+2%3A11-12" title="NIV Proverbs 2:11-12">Proverbs 2:11-12</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+3%3A3" title="NIV Proverbs 3:3">Proverbs 3:3</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+2%3A212-26" title="NIV Proverbs 2:212-26">Proverbs 2:212-26</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+4%3A23" title="NIV Proverbs 4:23">Proverbs 4:23</a>.)</em><br />
• Sometimes I say things I shouldn’t. Help me to “let no unwholesome thing” come from my mouth, but only what is helpful” for building my spouse and children up, rather than tearing them down. I acknowledge that I am not my spouse’s Holy Spirit. That is Your position. I do not want to grieve You, or say things what will cause more damage to my marriage relationship, rather than help it.<br />
I know that the “tongue of the righteous nourishes” and “spreads knowledge.” Help me to “speak the truth in love” when it will benefit the situation rather than contaminate it. I don’t want to be a fool who lacks judgment and speaks in haste. I know that discernment, and the timing, and tone of my words are as important as what I say. Thank You, and help me Lord. <em>(Based on <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Ephesians+4%3A15" title="NIV Ephesians 4:15">Ephesians 4:15</a> and <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Ephesians+4%3A29" title="NIV Ephesians 4:29">Ephesians 4:29</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+29%3A20" title="NIV Proverbs 29:20">Proverbs 29:20</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+10%3A21" title="NIV Proverbs 10:21">Proverbs 10:21</a> and <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Proverbs+10%3A32" title="NIV Proverbs 10:32">Proverbs 10:32</a>.)</em><br />
• Money, Lord, I know that loving it is the “root of all kinds of evil” because it has caused many to wander from the faith and pierced themselves with grief. So I don’t want to place a higher value on it than You know is best or would condone. But sometimes it causes problems in our marriage when our expenses seem to be higher than the money we have available each month. You promise to meet all our needs “according to Your riches in Christ Jesus.” If one of us is spending more than we should, or if we need to look further into how to expand our income, I pray that You will reveal this truth to us and help us to line our lives with Your will.<br />
You tell us not to worry about how our needs will be met. Help me Lord, not to worry and to release those things that I cannot change concerning our finances. I know that as I seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, You will give us the things we truly need. I need Your help in being “content whatever the circumstances.” I know that “I can do all everything through Him who gives me strength.” After all, You own it all, and if You deem that we should have more, it will be done. <em>(Based on <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=1+Timothy+6%3A10" title="NIV 1Timothy 6:10">1 Timothy 6:10</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Philippians+4%3A19" title="NIV Philippians 4:19">Philippians 4:19</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Matthew+6%3A25-34" title="NIV Matthew 6:25-34">Matthew 6:25-34</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Philippians+4%3A11-13" title="NIV Philippians 4:11-13">Philippians 4:11-13</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Psalm+136" title="NIV Psalm 136">Psalm 136</a>.)</em><br />
• Heavenly Father, it is so difficult to forgive my spouse sometimes. But I know that I am not perfect either. I’ve fallen short of Your standards. And yet you love me and even sent Jesus to die for me while “I was yet a sinner.” Help me to be as gracious to my spouse as you are to me. I know that if I forgive my spouse for the things that grieve my heart, and Yours as well, that you will forgive me for the things I have done that I shouldn’t.<br />
I also know that if I refuse to forgive my spouse, it will poison my spirit as it starts as a bitter root defiling not only my marriage, but others I come in contact with. Help me Lord to let go of unforgiveness and to be in the center of Your will for my life. <em>(Based on <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Romans+3%3A23" title="NIV Romans 3:23">Romans 3:23</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Romans+5%3A8" title="NIV Romans 5:8">Romans 5:8</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Hebrews+12%3A14-15" title="NIV Hebrews 12:14-15">Hebrews 12:14-15</a>, <a class="bibleref" href="http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=31&passage=Matthew+6%3A14-15" title="NIV Matthew 6:14-15">Matthew </a></em><br />

</span></div><div align="center" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.tbm.org/prayers_answered.htm">http://www.tbm.org/prayers_answered.htm</a></span></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;"><img align="left" border="0" height="193" hspace="5" src="http://www.tbm.org/Tmp35.jpg" vspace="5" width="135" />You should pray to get results. Unfortunately, many people pray, but they don't receive specific answers to their prayers. I'm going to show you how to pray to get answers. Once you know how to get answers to your prayers, you'll never be in need. You'll never have to stay sick, stay broke, or stay defeated all the days of your life.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The first and most important step for getting answers to your prayers is this:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;"><b>Find scriptures that definitely promise you the specific thing you are praying for.</b></span><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">When people say that they're praying for something, I like to ask, "What scripture or scriptures are you standing on in order to get what you are asking?" Often, people answer, "Well, nothing in particular." Well, that's what they'll get, Nothing in particular</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Jesus says, "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you" (John 15:7). Notice that Jesus began this promise with a little word called "if". The word "if" is a little word with consequences. The word "if" means that this promise for answered prayer is conditional upon something. What is it? Jesus says that you can ask whatever you wish, so long as "my words remain in you."</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">You must have God's word abiding in you if you expect an answer to your prayer. Often Christians pray for something, such as healing, yet they don't have any promise from God abiding in them which guarantees that God will answer.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">God has made many promises to heal you. What you need to do is find those promises and meditate on them until they become real to you. By doing this, you will be able to fight doubt when your healing doesn't manifest immediately.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">You see if you pray for healing and do not know God's promises to heal you, when the symptoms persist, you'll begin to doubt that the answer is coming. Once you doubt, the answer is cancelled.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">James 1:6-7 says, "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord." God answers only believing praye<i>r</i>, not doubting prayer.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Someone might say, "But if God doesn't heal us in response to our prayers, then maybe God does not want us to be well. It may not be His will to heal us."</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The truth is, God's Word is His will. If you want to know what God's will is, then look at His Word. He only promises things that He is willing to do. Since He has promised us healing, we can be assured that it is His will to heal us. By not knowing His Word, delays in answers may make us think that God is denying us the answers. But by knowing the Word, delays are simply opportunities to stand on God's Word in faith.</div><div align="CENTER" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The second step for answered prayer is this: <b>You must ask God for what you want and believe that you receive it.</b></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">What is it that you want? Be specific and ask.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Dr. Cho, the pastor of the world's largest church, said that many years ago when South Korea was poor, he asked God for a bicycle. Back then a bicycle was a big thing. Well, several months had elapsed, but he had not received the bicycle. Finally he asked the Lord why it was taking so long for Him to answer this prayer. The Lord answered, "Son, you didn't tell Me what kind of bicycle you wanted. There are many different brands, different colors, and different manufacturers. Be specific. What kind of bicycle do you want?"</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">I think many people need to be specific in their requests. Jesus asked a blind man, "What do you want me to do for you?" It would seem obvious that the man wanted his sight. But Jesus never assumes to know your desire. He wants you to tell Him.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Once you are specific in your request, you must believe that you have received the answer, even before you can see the answer.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Jesus says in Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Notice that this scripture does not say to believe that you <i>will</i> receive. No! It says to believe that you <i>have </i>received. This means that you must believe that you have the answer already, even before you physically possess the answer. This is faith.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Many times people are praying, thinking that they are believing, when in reality they are not believing, but hoping. Hope and faith are not the same. You cannot expect to receive from hope what is promised only to faith. Faith is what is required in prayer.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">If you're praying and expecting that God will, sometime in the future, answer your prayer, then you are not believing but hoping. Faith says that God has answered my prayer the very moment that I prayed. Are you believing or hoping?</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">I'm reminded of a story that Happy Caldwell once told. When he was a sinner, he and his buddies used to love getting drunk. One day, they were driving down an old Arkansas highway when they drove past a run-down tavern. Its sign read: FREE BEER, TOMORROW.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">"Whoa!" they were excited. They could hardly wait to guzzle down the free beer. The next day, they sped back to that old tavern.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">"The sign for free beer is still up!" Happy exclaimed. They jumped out of their car, busted down the tavern's doors, and shouted to the bartender, "Hey! Give us some free beer!"</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">"What are you talking about?" the bartender asked.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The guys pointed to the sign, "You advertised free beer. That's what we've come for."</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The bartender smiled, "Free beer—tomorrow!"</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The devil is like the bartender. He will get you thinking that tomorrow you'll get your answer. And when tomorrow gets here, he'll say, "Wait until tomorrow." As long as you are waiting for tomorrow, tomorrow never comes. God says, "Believe that you have the answer today--NOW!" This is what Jesus meant in Mark 11:24: "...whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."</div><div align="CENTER" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">THANK GOD FOR THE ANSWER</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The third step for getting your prayers answered is this: <b>Thank God for the answer, before you can see it</b>. Since you have already believed that God has answered your prayer, the only logical step is to thank Him in advance for the answer. Doing this proves that you trust God's Word.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">You may ask, "How can I thank God for answering my prayer, when I don't see the answer yet?" Because He promised the answer, and that's good enough for you to thank Him.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Suppose a gentleman promised me that he was going to buy a new suit for me next week. Would I say, "Sir, when you actually buy it and I'm wearing it, then I'll be grateful and thank you for it. But I'm not going to thank you until I am wearing the new suit you promised." Of course I wouldn't say that. I would immediately thank him for the new suit, even though I don't actually have it yet. I thank him, because I believe his word is good. The same is true of God.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">God promised to answer our prayers, and His promise is good enough to solicit gratitude from us. So after you have prayed and believed that you have received the answer, then thank God for the answer.</div><div align="CENTER" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">KEEP YOUR MIND POSITIVE</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">The fourth and final step for answered prayer is this: <b>Let every thought affirm that you have the answer to your prayer.</b></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">It is this last step that many believers stumble over. They will do fine until this last step, because many believers do not know how to fight the devil. Satan battles against the mind. The mind is the arena where the battle is fought.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">Do not allow any negative thoughts to enter your mind. Let your mind affirm that you have the petitions that you requested from God. The reason you need to keep your mind on positive things is because doubt begins in the mind. And if you can keep it out of your mind, then you can keep it out of your heart.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica;">These are the four practical steps to answered prayer!</div>scriptureprayersformarriagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05740761293146076763noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894890413857549238.post-3727672889564850082011-05-05T10:50:00.000-07:002011-05-05T10:54:01.468-07:00Unanswered Prayer<h1 style="color: #625539; font-family: Constantia, Georgia, serif; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><a href="http://www.openbible.info/topics/unanswered_prayer"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">http://www.openbible.info/topics/unanswered_prayer</span></a></h1><h1 style="color: #625539; font-family: Constantia, Georgia, serif; font-size: 64px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #625529; font-family: Corbel, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><a class="bibleref" href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?passage=James+4%3A3">James 4:3</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #625529; font-family: Corbel, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"> </span></h1><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #625529; font-family: Corbel, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><br />

His thoughts about us number more than the sands of the sea (Psalm 139: 17, 18), He loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3 & John 3:16). His promises are Yes & Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20). We know that satan’s a liar but God has never lied nor broken a promise or covenant (Hebrew 6:18, Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2). He is the God of the second chance to infinity. Nothing is to hard (Jeremiah 32:17, Genesis 18:14), nor impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). With man it is impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible (Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27). He is faithful (Psalm 89, Hebrew 10:23), His Word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11,12), He magnifies His Word above His name (Psalm 138:2) & His Word is settled in Heaven forever (Psalm 119:89). We need to trust Him & His Word no matter what trials or tribulation we are facing, what ever mountain, valley, desert, storm, or goliath that’s in our life. <u>TRUST HIM</u>! Naham 1:7 tells us, “God is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble & He knows those who trust Him.” He tells us we have worth & value in His eyes (Jeremiah 29:11-13), He is our helper (Hebrews 13:6) who has compassion, mercy & grace for each of us. Gods’ forgiveness is bigger than my sin. If I confess my sins, God is faithful & just to forgive me of my sins & cleanse me of ALL unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Once I confess & repent, God remembers them no more (Psalm 103:12). They are put in the sea of forgetfulness (Micah 7:19). They are under the BLOOD of JESUS, and we are set FREE, with no condemnation (Romans 8:1), especially from ourselves. We must learn to forgive ourselves. Praise and Worship must be included in our prayers. We have the VICTORY!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

SPOUSE remains stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty God whose power no foe can withstand -- this secret place hides him from the strife of tongues.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">SPOUSE believes the wisdom of God's Word dwells in him and, because it does, he realizes that he is without fear or dread of evil. In all his ways he acknowledges You and Your Word; therefore You direct and steps. SPOUSE has Your Word hidden in his heart. He is strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in his inner self by the Holy Spirit that dwells in him. God is his strength and his refuge and he confidently and boldly trust in Him and in His Word. SPOUSE is empowered through his union with Almighty God. "God said, I will never leave you nor forsake you." SPOUSE takes comfort and is encouraged and confidently and boldly says, 'The Lord is my helper, I will not be seized with alarm, I will not fear or be terrified, for what can man do to me?'" SPOUSE confesses and believes that his children are disciples taught of the Lord and obedient to God's will, great is the peace and undisturbed composure of her children -- because God Himself contends with that which contends with him and his children and He gives His angels charge over them. God will perfect that which concerns him. The Word of God that I have spoken is alive and full of power. Your Word energizes and strengthens him. Your Word is sharper than any two-edged sword and it is penetrating into his joints and into the deepest part of the marrow of his bones. It is healing to his flesh, and prosperity for him. It is the magnificent Word of Almighty God El-Shaddai. Glory to God in the Highest for His mighty Word!</span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I thank You, Father, that You are his shield, a wall of fire around about him. You have sent Your angels to go before him and shield him from all the fire darts that fly by day and all the evil by night, Your angels encamp around about him.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I thank You, Father, that SPOUSE dwells in the secret place of the Most High and abides under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of You, Lord, that You are his refuge and fortress: his God; in You he trust. You cover him under the shadow of Your wings Your truth shall be HIS shield and buckler. SPOUSE will not be afraid for with his eyes he will see the reward of the wicked.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Because SPOUSE has made You, Lord, his refuge and dwelling place, no evil shall befall him—no accident will overtake him—neither shall any plague or calamity come near him. For You will give Your angels charge over him, to keep his in all Your ways.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Father, SPOUSE has set HIS love upon You, he knows You deliver him and when he calls upon You, and You will answer him.</span><br />

And You will meet all my</div><div align="left">needs according to Your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord for Your</div><div align="left">promises that what You have said, that will You bring about; what You have planned,</div><div align="left">that will You do.

Psalm 91 is a prayer for Christians only. This is not a prayer to be prayed for or by non Christians as the basis of the protection is seen in Verse 14. If you would like to know how to become a Christian, see the<a href="http://missionariesofprayer.org/2010/03/gospel/" style="color: #cc0000; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> Gospel of Jesus Christ</a>.<br />
<h2 id="passage_heading">Psalm 91 (New Living Translation)</h2><sup id="en-NLT-15372">1</sup> Those who live in the shelter of the Most High<br />
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15373">2</sup> This I declare about the Lord:<br />
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;<br />
he is my God, and I trust him.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15374">3</sup> For he will rescue you from every trap<br />
and protect you from deadly disease.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15375">4</sup> He will cover you with his feathers.<br />
He will shelter you with his wings.<br />
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15376">5</sup> Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,<br />
nor the arrow that flies in the day.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15377">6</sup> Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,<br />
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15378">7</sup> Though a thousand fall at your side,<br />
though ten thousand are dying around you,<br />
these evils will not touch you.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15379">8</sup> Just open your eyes,<br />
and see how the wicked are punished. <sup id="en-NLT-15380">9</sup> If you make the Lord your refuge,<br />
if you make the Most High your shelter,<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15381">10</sup> no evil will conquer you;<br />
no plague will come near your home.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15382">11</sup> For he will order his angels<br />
to protect you wherever you go.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15383">12</sup> They will hold you up with their hands<br />
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15384">13</sup> You will trample upon lions and cobras;<br />
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! <sup id="en-NLT-15385">14</sup> The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.<br />
I will protect those who trust in my name.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15386">15</sup> When they call on me, I will answer;<br />
I will be with them in trouble.<br />
I will rescue and honor them.<br />
<sup id="en-NLT-15387">16</sup> I will reward them with a long life<br />
and give them my salvation.”<br />
Heavenly Father, I (we) ask You to place a hedge of protection around me (us). It hides me (us) from the enemy, familiar spirits, any and all demon spirits, making it difficult, if not impossible for them to effectively track or trace me in the realm of the spirit. There shall be no perforations or penetrations to these hedges of protection according to your word in Psalm 91. I(we) know that You will answer this prayer because I (we) love You and I(we) trust in Your name only. I pray that Your blood Lord Jesus will cover me(us) and all that You have given me(us). That the enemy will not have access to what has been given to me(us).Thank you for your divine protection in Jesus Name, Amen.</div>scriptureprayersformarriagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05740761293146076763noreply@blogger.com0
