We want to pause again today for ANSWERED PRAYERS! Our hearts desire is to give Thanks to God for providing a way out of our hopeless circumstances. When there seems to be no way, Jesus makes a way and His Way is always best!  Jesus walked the path of complete obedience to what He was empowered to do. When Jesus was baptized we read that the heavens open and the Spirit descended upon Him like a dove and a voice from heaven said, ‘This is My Beloved Son. In Him I AM well please!’ Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness and there He resisted the temptations of devil by reciting the Word of God!  Please notice this pattern – Obedience – Pray the Word of God – Reward. We should be DOING what God Almighty has put into our heart TO DO!

We should pray, using the very words of scripture and listen for the Holy Spirit of the Living God to led us into The Truth. When temptations come, and they will come during the driest of times, we can proclaim the Words that Jesus spoke and in the Authority of His Name, we can and will rebuke all of our enemies.

Heavenly Father, we TRUST You with all of heart. We will not lean on our own understandings, but in all of our ways, we will acknowledge You as our preeminent Sovereign Authority in our lives. Jesus, You are my Lord, my Savior, my Redeemer, my most trusted friend. Make straight my paths, Lord. Guide and Direct my life with Your Divine Purpose and Your Divine Appointments today!  Thank You Lord for hearing my prayer. I know that You always hear my prayers! Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is  Proverbs 3:3-10

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, so you will find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear {Respect} the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.

Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we serve and AWESOME GOD! Everything we have in this world came from God. “Naked I came into this world, and naked I shall leave – Blessed BE the Name of the Lord”! Jesus never said to give away all of your possessions. He just wants you to acknowledge that God is our source. It is God Almighty that gives us the power to gain wealth! A majority of Christians in this world today do not understand that God’s Grace is to empower us to do the work of the Kingdom of God here on earth, to be just exactly like it already is in Heaven.

Ministers, Pastors, Priests, Rabbis, Evangelists, Missionaries, Apostles, Prophets and YOU who are doing exactly what God has called you, appointed you, and created you to do should never have to beg for monies! If all the people that belong to a local church would simply and joyfully pay ten percent (10%) of their income each week, the wealth of that congregation would explode in blessings.  In America, we must get over this notion that giving monies to the church is building up personal wealth for the pastor and his family. Giving my tithe and my offerings is about investing seeds in the good soil of the place that is doing Kingdom business here on earth. Our giving to the Lord is showing that we worship Him with the very best that we have to give! These first fruits acknowledge the complete trust in Him that He will take care of the rest of our needs. We love Him, because He first LOVES us. Jesus said to Paul – My Grace is sufficient for you!

Do you believe the Word of God is true? Prove it by giving your very best to serve Him today! When we obey His Word, we can expect to receive ‘open windows of Heaven’. We might even hear a voice from Heaven saying ‘These are My Sons and My Daughters – I AM Well Pleased with ALL of YOU!’

Amen and Amen!
