Fear : Bondage of a False Truth

Image
  "Fear is the bubble of bondage surrounding the people of God (His Church), that is stopping us from uniting to do God's work." What does this mean? Fear lies and deceives us into a false belief of who we are in Christ, what God wants for us, why we should or should not do as God wants us to do. Look at the past year and what was the biggest player in the evil within it? The answer is FEAR. There has been so much fear from the pandemic, fires, bad weather, political & racial unrest, a heightening fear of death, and losing all that we have as far as the freedoms we have to the keeping of our jobs. False Evidence Appearing to be Right = FEAR , this is the only acronym that I have found describing what this bondage is like. This is a fabrication of the mind that hurts you mentally, while it tries to creep its way into the deepest part of our soul. This is what causes the bondage within us that can cause us physical, mental, and even spiritual anguish if allowed in...

God in the Center

  God in the Center "Not by our views or opinions but by God's grace and love are what leads the sinner to God's eternal goodness!" Pastor Jean Marie By putting God in the center of our lives, we look at the world in a different light. We look to the love of God and His goodness to save those who are still sinners and don’t know Him. Through God's forever gracious love we are to leave our opinions and judgments behind. Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but a...

Change Our World, Oh God!

We take life forgranted, thinking that we will be here forever.  We don't realize how fast our life can change nor if we will be around the next minute, hour, or day.We need to live each day like it's our last.  This is something we hear a lot.  But the truth cannot be ignored, we actually need to live each day as there is no end, so we can encourage others. Ask yourself what type of legacy do I want to leave, one that promotes my faith, my beliefs, and show the love of Christ to the world, or a life that is full of judging others, being self-righteous, and only being angry and hateful to others in the world?  Do you want to wake up and see the goodness of God every day and the people around you that need to be loved? Or are you looking at each day in dispair and who is going to put you in a bad mood for the day?  If you want to change but can't.  If you want the world to see you as a good person but you just don't know how to become that person.  I...

Covid-19 Prayer

Lord Jesus, please be with those who are working on the frontlines of this virus and seeing so much depression and death. We know that you give us the comfort we need to get through this. Give all of our doctors and nurses strength and keep them safe from harm. Lift them up Lord and show them what needs to be done. Walk before them with your love and peace. Give our scientists the vaccine that is needed to stop the COVID-19, so that it can be administered to those who are in need of it right now, in the name of Jesus. I ask that you save us all from this horrible virus, that your Holy Spirit travels throughout the whole earth to heal all of those who need healing from the virus. We ask this for you have promised us that no plague shall come near our dwelling in Psalm 91, we proclaim that promise for the whole word. We ask this in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus. Amen! Please pass this prayer on! Let's keep it going! Many blessings, Pastor Jeanne Marie

Prayer for Overcoming Fear

2 Timothy 1:7   (NKJV) 7  For  God has not given us a spirit of fear,  but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Father God- I come before You this day to offer to you all the fears I have in my life.  I ask that you take these burdens from me so I may walk in Your righteousness, dear Father.   I come before Your throne humbly under Your mighty hand, casting all my cares upon You, for I know that You will care for me! (1 Peter 5:6-7)   I command  that all fear and anxieties be gone from me, in Jesus name, for Satan has no power over my mind or my body!  I am a child of the Living God, an overcomer, and a mighty servant of the Lord!  There is NO EVIL that shall befall me, in the name of Jesus! (Psalm 91 protection scripture). Thank You Lord for making me Your righteousness through Your Son, Jesus!  I praise You for all Your work that, Lord, You have done for me.  In You I will trust and always find m...

Faith Prayer

Faith Prayer Heavenly Father- I repent this day for all my wrong doings and ask You, Lord for forgiveness this day.  I ask that You bestow upon me the faith I need to be closer to You.  I, also, ask for the words that Jesus spoke in Matthew 17:20, for those words to manifest in my life, to be the kind of faith that can move mountains. I claim all knowledge and understanding of Your word, for I know that what it says is truth!  Open my eyes that I may see the path you have before me and open my ears that I may hear what you are trying to speak to me.  Teach me to trust with Your wisdom of what You, Lord, are showing me to do with my life.  Let me learn to let go and let God.  Help me to believe that You have chosen the best path You would have for me to go.  Thank you so much for what You have done in my life and what You are about to continue to do in my life.  Let others see in me, who You truly are, so that they may experience the freedo...

Thanking God

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life we tend to forget that we need to not only ask God to answer our prayers, but we need to Thank God for answering our prayers.  God has shown me through the years that it is just as important to thank and praise Him, as it is to come before Him with our needs and wants.  Why do we just assume He owes us answered prayers and not thank Him?  Isn't He worthy of our praise and thanksgiving?  After all He sent His only Son, Jesus to die for us.  It puzzles me as to how many Christians forget how important this is, and how many churches don't teach this anymore.  When you give someone a gift, don't you expect at least a thank you for that gift?  So, why do we hesitate in thanking our Father in Heaven for all He's done in our life? If you have noticed on this prayer blog the first statement I make in my prayers is a thank you to God, it is usually my ending statement in a prayer as well.  This solidifies my res...

Memorial Day Reflection & Prayer

Today has been our Memorial Day in the USA for our fallen soldiers. Those who served our country for freedom giving the ultimate sacrifice for that purpose.  We need to reflect what this freedom means and quit allowing those freedoms from being stomped on.  It's time to stand as a country for the rights of all not just the minority but for all.   Stop forcing your opinions on others, learn to love them instead.  Stand for what you know is right, by showing people the truth not forcing it on them.  Also, research what you stand for and have an open mind.  It does us no good to argue with each other.  We all have a right to freedom and that's what the men and women in this great nation have fought for. Remember, Christ gave the first ultimate sacrifice at the cross for everyone of us!  Freeing us from sin and death, through His atoning blood. Also, remember the soldier who gave that sacrifice for our freedoms, for God and Country!  We ...
