We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  We want to represent you and your glory God in how we live.  You have called us as a chosen generation, and a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, in whom you have called out of darkness, and into your marvelous light.  We will show the world that we are representing you as your, chosen generation, and that we have been called out of darkness (sin), and into your marvelous light (salvation).  Lord, in our language and communication we will represent who you are.  Our language will not be filthiness, foolish talking, or jesting, because they are not convenient (Ephesians 5:4).   We will represent you in our ways and character because we will walk in your spirit and not our flesh.  For the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance:  We will represent you at our place of our employment, in our communities, and in our daily affairs.  We want the world to see that your light is in us, and that you are the light of the world.  We will not represent Satan in any part of our lives, but our duty is to represent you to the best of our ability in all that we do.

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

-verse 3-

Our Father, which art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  The preparations of our heart is ours, and the answer of the tongue, is from you, Lord.   All our ways of us are clean in our own eyes; but you weigheth the spirits.  We will commit thy works unto you, and our thoughts shall be established. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of you, we depart from evil.   When our ways please you, you maketh our enemies at peace with us.  Our hearts deviseth our way, but you direct our steps.   It is better for us to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. If we handle a matter wisely we shall find good: and if we trust in you, happy are we.  If we are wise in heart we shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of our lips increaseth learning. Understanding is a wellspring of life unto us that hath it:  Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, and sweet to our souls.  As we continue to be the godly example, we thank you for allowing us to pray to you today.

Discerning the Times

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.”

-Ezekiel 44:23-

Our Father, which art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  We pray that we become discerned spiritually.  We pray that we will have in us the gift of the discerning of the spirits.  We are living in the end times, and we desperately need to recognize, distinguish, and perceive right and wrong. We pray that we shall be taught the difference between the holy and profane, and it will cause us to discern between the clean and unclean. We pray that we will be able to put a difference between holy and unholy, and between clean and unclean.  We ask that you will grant to us a wise man’s heart, because he discerns both time and judgment. For in the end times, many (hypocrites) can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but cannot discern this time.  Help us, O Lord, to know the end times. We know you are coming back soon.  We do not desire to turn away from sound doctrine.  For many have turned away from sound doctrine, and after their own lust (pleasures), and have looked for leaders who will teach them what they desire to hear (itching ears).  But, God we pray that you will allow us to be aware and alert of the false doctrines. Make us aware of the FALSE teachers (pastors, teachers, evangelists, ect..) who are among us, who privily will bring to us damnable heresies. We ask you again, O Lord,  give us the wisdom and the knowledge to discern between the righteous and wicked and between him who serves you Jesus, and him who does not.  Lord we pray this prayer, in Jesus name.

Love you,
