The Who becomes the What

35Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

Can affliction or anguish or persecution

or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36As it is written:

Because of You

we are being put to death all day long;

we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

37No, in all these things we are more than victorious

through Him who loved us.

38For I am persuaded that not even death or life,

angels or rulers,

things present or things to come, hostile powers,

39height or depth, or any other created thing

will have the power to separate us

from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Romans 8:35-39 

Prayer Warriors:

As you read these verses above, we are going to see Who or What can separate us from the LOVE of Christ.

The who is the ( enemy or even ourselves) can separate us from the LOVE of Christ. Not just separate us from Christ, but His LOVE. That's why Paul goes on, can affiliation or anguish or persecution....Then we start having a battle in our minds, then if God is for me, then why am I going through this. Then He must not LOVE me.

If the enemy can separate you from God's LOVE, then he has succeeded. That's why so many of our children or love one's, have walk away because they have believed, what the enemy has told them. Our circumstance becomes greater then God's Love for us. 

We take verse 37, and we say NO! I will have victory over this situation, our children will live the life, they were created to live. My love one will live, a transform life. I will live a life of victory! I know my God loves me and my love one's.

Ladies we know we're in a fight, that's why we're praying, but it's not just about the fight. It goes beyond the fight. What's on the other side? Victory in Christ! Like children of Israel, we gain the Promise Land. Yes, they had to fight to gain the land but it was already theirs because He gave it to them. If we persist in prayer, what do we inherit and our love one's. A closer relationship with Christ, we get to the know the one and true living God.

That's why Paul could say in verse 38, I am persuaded...... I do believe that there is no power that can separate us from Christ. We believe the word, not the enemy or our circumstance or even how we're felling, but we see VICTORY on the other side of our prayers being answered!!!

Thank you Lord, because we do have VICTORY in YOU!

     Isaiah 66:1-2b       Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne, And earth is my footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My hand hath made. And all those things exist. Says the LORD. But on this one  will I look On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit. And who trembles at My word.                 

God is for Us

31What then are we to say about these things?

If God is for us, who is against us?

32He did not even spare His own Son

but offered Him up for us all;

how will He not also with Him grant us everything?
 Romans 8:31-32

Prayer Warriors:

May we always remember, God is for us, even when he's working against us. Meaning; when we are working against ourselves or our love ones are. He steps in and say's "No"! Now I'm going to step in and work against you, because I am for you. I love you too much to leave you there. I created you for a purpose.

 If, He gave His only son and He is for us. Why doesn't He answer that prayer or work in that situation in the way we think he should or maybe he's asking us to wait. He has a greater YES, an eternal one for His purpose.His word does not lie. He foreknew, predestined called and justified us and our love ones, to greater things. For here and in eternity! He is always for us!

Lord, I pray that our hearts would be filled with mercy and grace. Our minds be fix on you. How great and holy are you. We come to you with hearts full of concerns and lay them at your feet. Grant us your peace, not like the world gives but peace that passes all understanding. The people we love, we give them over to you. Only you Lord, can save, change and transform a life. Holy Spirit draw them to the father. Thank you for your Son, for he has redeemed us. Thank you, because you never change. You love us with an everlasting love. You are love. The cross, what a beautiful picture of love. In you Son's name we pray, Amen.

How Majestic Is Your Name

1O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,

you have established strength because of your foes,

to still the enemy and the avenger.

3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him,

and the son of man that you care for him?

5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

you have put all things under his feet,

7all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field,

8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8

Jacob Wrestles with God

24Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. 25When the man saw that He could not defeat him, He struck Jacob’s hip socket as they wrestled and dislocated his hip. 26Then He said to Jacob, “Let Me go, for it is daybreak.”

But Jacob said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me.”

27“What is your name? ” the man asked.

“Jacob,” he replied.

28“Your name will no longer be Jacob,” He said. “It will be Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

29Then Jacob asked Him, “Please tell me Your name.”

But He answered, “Why do you ask My name? ” And He blessed him there.

30Jacob then named the place Peniel, “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “and I have been delivered.”   Genesis 32: 24-30

Prayer Warriors:

May we never lose that PASSION to pray to our Lord, like Jacob did that day when he wrestle with our Lord. Like Jacob said, " I will not let go until you bless me."

We will say, we will not stop praying till we see our loves saved. We will not stop praying, till we see them changed and transformed. We will not stop praying, till we see that situation answered. We will not stop praying, for His will to be done. We will not stop praying, for every person on this list.  

We will not stop praying till we go home to be with you!

Philippians 1:3-6

3I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you,4always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer,5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 

Psalm 1

1Blessed is the man

who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the way of sinners,

nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

2but his delight is in the law of the Lord,

and on his law he meditates day and night.

3He is like a tree

planted by streams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

and its leaf does not wither.

In all that he does, he prospers.

4The wicked are not so,

but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

6for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.

Longing for God’s House

A psalm of the sons of Korah.

1How lovely is Your dwelling place,

Lord of Hosts.

2I long and yearn

for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and flesh cry out for the living God.

3Even a sparrow finds a home,

and a swallow, a nest for herself

where she places her young —

near Your altars, Lord of Hosts,

my King and my God.

4How happy are those who reside in Your house,

who praise You continually. Selah

5Happy are the people whose strength is in You,

whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

they make it a source of spring water;

even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings.

7They go from strength to strength;

each appears before God in Zion.

8Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer;

listen, God of Jacob. Selah

9Consider our shield, God;

look on the face of Your anointed one.

10Better a day in Your courts

than a thousand anywhere else.

I would rather be at the door of the house of my God

than to live in the tents of wicked people.

11For the Lord God is a sun and shield.

The Lord gives grace and glory;

He does not withhold the good

from those who live with integrity.

12Happy is the person who trusts in You,

Lord of Hosts!

Psalm 84
