Have you ever prayed any of the names of God, to God? If your heart is right and you use His names appropriately, I believe God is pleased.

First, use God’s appropriate name for what you are talking to Him about or asking. It will deepen your prayer. For example, “Jehovah Jireh,” in English means, “The God who provides” or “The Lord will provide.”

Any name of God should humble our hearts and cause us to bow our heads, but “El Shaddai” should humble our hearts and cause us to bow our heads, but “El Shaddai” should cause every part of our being to bow. For He is the “God Almighty.” The One that can overpower anyone or anything. He is the “Almighty.” He has unlimited power. That knowledge alone should cause us to confess our sins and walk in the ways of the Lord. Your God knows everything about you and has unlimited power to curse you or bless you. Read II Chronicles 20. There He blessed the king Jehoshaphat and tells of a beautiful prayer. Then later in life, Jehoshaphat aligned himself again, with the wicked king Ahab, so God corrected Jehoshaphat, and I believe, protected him.

About 1980 is when I started to pray for others and it got to the point that my prayer list became long. Praying for others would take an hour daily.

Then I thought, if God wants me to pray for all of these people, He would remind me of their names during prayer. Well, I would only remember a few.

Now, I don’t know if it was Satan that put that thought in my head or if it was my own sinful self. All I could really remember was, “Don’t grow weary of doing good.”

People had entrusted me with prayer requests for them. God had entrusted me to bring prayers to Him.

Beloved, do not grow weary of doing good.

My Lord God Almighty, your divine secrets rest in my heart and mind. Help me to continue to learn Your truth that knows no bounds for all eternity. Let me be your visible proof of what I believe. Let my harvest reveal the fruit from the seed that You planted within me. Help me to be what You designed me to be. Amen

It appears that we are in the last days before the tribulation period. That which is right is now wrong and what is wrong is now right. It will become even darker before the return of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that things will be like in the days of Noah before the flood. Man’s heart has not reached that depth of darkness, but we are fast approaching it.

The children of God need to nurture our light, the Holy Spirit within us. We nurture by studying His word, praying, and worshipping. The world can snuff out our light or cause it to glow only dim.

Now is the time for our light to shine brightly and pull others into the light so that they may see Christ.

A wife’s and mother’s primary influence in the home is to fill it with joy, peace, laughter, and an essence of the Lord.

In order to do this, one must bathe themself in God’s essences. Pray daily that He will guard your home. You want all who enter to be of the spiritual realm to be only from God. You do not want your family’s emotions to be in a tug of war with those not from God. You want them to find peace in your home. Their hearts and minds are precious to you. So pray, Beloved.

Your morning prayers are so important. At the beginning of the day, place your home, children, and husband in the presence of the Lord. Ask Him to protect your family and make your home a refuge for your family. Your home can become a stronghold of God.

It is here in the home that your husband can find rest from his daily work in the world. It is here in the home with God, that your Beloved husband can renew his mind and gain strength in his integrity and ethics. Here in the home, the family members become precious to one another.

It is here, in the home, that children will learn how to have a home that honors God. It is here that they learn how to serve others. It is in the home where children learn about humility, grace, mercy, and compassion.

In the home, the family can find strength in their battles. The home can make it easy for its members to pray. So ladies, call out to God. ask God to help you to change the atmosphere in your home. Beloved, God is always near. Call out to Him and let Him guide you in His love and peace.

What Type of Shepherd Are You

Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers, not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away. I Peter 5:2-4 (NIV)

I was at a person’s house a few years ago when she answered the phone. It was from her neighbor, who asked her if she could pick up her child from school when she picked up hers. She said yes. She hung up the phone, turned to me, and said, “Now she owes me,” with a tone.

I was at the person who called, talking to her husband about some real estate when the lady came out and said to her husband, “I ironed your shirt. Wasn’t that nice of me.”

Now each of these women may have gotten a thank you from the other person, but I doubt they got any credit in heaven. If they were Christians, Christ forgave them. I doubt these acts brought joy to Christ. Our attitude determines how it is remembered by Christ. You serve because Christ loves you. With His love, you love and serve others.

I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. (NAS)
