Heavenly Father I praise You today and ask that You help me take command of my day. Help me follow this prayer: Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain! So, God granted him what he requested. Please grant me this same request. [1Chronicles 4:9&10]
Holy Spirit as I have grown up in wisdom and understanding I have learned how often the physical world mirrors the spiritual world. 1687 Sir Isaac Newton published his Three Laws of Motion. His third law said, “All forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.” In our words, this means there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action. So when we pray and step into the enemy’s territory he will push back and we should expect it. When we tell people of Christ and of salvation understand the enemy is also telling them lies to stop them from listening. I need to understand that Your word never returns void and that I am just the faithful person to deliver Your message, it is Your job to change their hearts. I need to be faithful and speak, pray, and testify, and then let Your Spirit do what it does best. I need to appreciate the quote by G. K. Chesterton: Jesus promised His disciples three things: They would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.” I need to do my part and then stand on the foundation that You will do Yours.
For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen me with power through His Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. And I pray that I, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within me, to Him be glory, Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21
