“Guarding Our Thoughts (Mind)”

 

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”

 

-Philippians 2:5-

 

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 things we think in our hearts, that is who we could become (Proverbs 23:7), whether we think about holy things or unholy things. We ask you to help us to guard our thoughts, Lord, because we struggle daily with unholy thoughts that are not pleasing to you. We often, allow our eyes to watch (on television, internet, ect..) and listen to unholy things, which causes our thoughts to travel to harmful places that Satan has set up for us to fail, and to be out of your will.  We know if we feed our minds junk food (unholy things), then we are feeding our flesh.  But if we feed our minds healthy food, it will bring goodness to our spirit.  We realize, that we have to do our part, in what we feed (place) into our minds, and the choices we make can have an effect on us.  We know that we cannot be conformed to the things of this world, but we have to daily be transformed by the renewing of our minds that we will prove what is good, acceptable, and your perfect will.  We will gird (protect and be prepared) up the loins of our mind, and protect our thoughts from allowing unholy things to invade it.  We will think on things that are honest, just, pure, lovely, and of a good report.  Lord, the thoughts that you think towards us are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, but to give us an expected end.  Help us to guard our thoughts from evil thinking, so we can glorify you!

Discerning of the Spirits

“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,

Your Servants
