Upper Room

Please agree with me in this prayer!

Dear Father, We come before you with humble hearts today knowing that without you and your guidance we are nothing and can do nothing. You are the great I AM and your greatness is beyond our understanding. It is even difficult for our finite minds to wrap around just how awesome You are and that You are mindful of us, Your creation, yet You word tells us of Your compassion, Your mercy, and lovingkindness. You tell us if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2Chr. 7:14). Father, we are seeking Your face, Your ear, that You might hear our cry for help. You know that trials that face our nation. You know the greed and avarice, the manipulation that has gone before in our government- its corruption and lawlessness, that is now being revealed in part but that threatens the livelihood of so many innocent- the loss the homes, jobs, lifetime savings,- the many blessings that You have given us. Father, we know that our nation- the people- have turned from You, we've taken You out of the marketplace, schools, government, we've turned our eyes on the world and what it offers instead of keeping our eyes focused on You. We've worshipped the manna and not Jehovah Jireh. We've allowed the expedient to rule our actions and the politically correct to dominate our ideology. Yesterday when I heard the report that over 50 % of (christians) believe that there are many paths to heaven I was sickened unto my heart. Oh, how this must grieve the Lord Jesus who suffered, bled, and died for the church. I am reminded then of last week when our pastor of a large baptist church told us that he feared there were less than 20% of the members truly saved in our body. When I really, really consider the way of things I know you are heart sick over your children, over your church, over just how far this once Christian nation has fallen. And if the coming cataclysm is your judgment, I pray that you will stay your hand with mercy. I pray that the light of Christ will permeate into the darkest recesses of our government and reveal the hidden chaff, reveal the truth, build up the innocent and godly, and diminish the ungodly, greedy, evildoers. I pray that every true christian is making this and similar prayers their main activity during this time that we are seeking your face, studying your word, drawing ever closer trusting in You and You alone- not Your blessings, not their pocketbooks, but putting their faith and adoration on You---so that if this is your judgment, that we will be able to bear it, sharing with one another, encouraging one another even as the DAY OF THE LORD draws ever closer. In Jesus name! Amen.

stained glass -My Upper Room

designed by Toscano Designs.
I love this beautiful stained glass."Based on a 1920s English Medieval Revival design, a heroic crusader’s shield is flanked by the traditional royal roses that signify noble lineage" I am so inspried by the Crusaders who performed amazing spiritual warfare in the physical as well as the spiritual realm.This design calls me to prayerful intercession. I have requested it for my next major gift from my husband. Until then, I would like to use it to inspire in my cyber upper room.
I am lifting the following mjor prayer requests before my Lord and Saviour!
For it is by His mercy, grace, and blood shed on the cross thwt we have free access to heaven.
1)Those who have cancer, illnesses,weaknesses, and spiritual sickness there are too many to mention, but I pray that the spirit of affliction will be cast out, bound and cast as far as the east is from the west, that by Christ's stripes the blood will wash away all remnant of residual infirmity that does not originate in heaven, that Christ will loose within each beleiver who is ill a recreation at the cellular level that will manifest healing and renewal of flesh, and a healing spirit that reaches into the deepest marrow and spreads through each body that whatever the enemey meant for evil, God can turn to good. I pray that each ill beleiver be strengthern in their resole to battle against this mighty foe, and that their faith will be made strong. I pray that beleivers everywhere will keep their focus above with high expecttions of waht can and wants to do to bring forth healing and restoration.
2) Those who have suffered traumas of all sorts, burns, accidents, falls, broken bodies of all kinds, my self included, I pray for the Lord to be merciful in His restoration. I am praying expectantly that the Lord God will speak from heaven a restorative Word that will knit together, realign, restore new cells, new skin, new bone, new joints, new blood, whatever it is that needs to be replaced. Father, you alone are our refuge in times of trouble, Who can we turn to but Thee, and when we are lame, or in such a weakened state, we have no recourse whatsoever but to beseech You to hear our plight. Whatever it may be that we must learn about You and your kingdom give us eyes to see, speak words of confirmation to us that what ever you would have us know or do we will be obedient to do. I thank you Father for what you have done, You are doing and will do in the process of bringing forth our restoration. We give you all the Glory. In Jesus name, Amen
