My Prayer and My Plea

Good morning Father.  I would like to petition You from my very heart, in truth, before all the world for the forgiveness of my sin.  I have taken lightly the cost for which you bought me; the price of Your own blood.  I am not my own and how quickly I forget that fact.  I blame not the enemy of my soul as I am perfectly responsible for my own sin.  There is a great gulf between my own sin and that of Lucifer; I wish not to implicate him for my suffering any longer.  If it be that serpent then so be it, I am yours and will speak of your greatness.  From before the earth was formed, before the fabric of time was woven, YOU WERE.  I am sorry for my wickedness and the hypocrisy which runs so deep Father.  I am a great deceiver and I openly admit my sin for the entire world to see.  I wish that you may be glorified in my open admittance of my very own sin.  I ask that you touch the hearts and lives of all those who would see this prayer.  Please forgive us, The Many, who are deceived of our ownselves and not knowing the trouble which we are bringing upon ourselves.  It is our own fault.  You have given us Your Word Father and we have neglected it.  Your Word became flesh and it cleansed the world of its sin, but sadly in our day so far removed from Your sacrifice, we see in a glass half dark.  We don't have true FAITH, I dare say that most of us lack even a mustard seed of FAITH.  It is our own undoing for not heeding Your Word.

I plead with you this morning for forgiveness.  I ask that your blood be poured on me this morning.  I will to perform Your will today.  I submit to you as best I know how.  Lead me into this great world filled with wealth that fades, sin leading unto death, and let Your Awesome Strength be made manifest in my sufferings.  May the world see my suffering and seek You alone that they may not taste of this bitterness in my soul.  It is the bitterness of disobedience, hypocrisy, pride, deception, wickedness, cheating, stealing, lying, and seeking after my own glory.  Father, I repent of these sins.  Your Glory is worthy of seeking all by itself, it needs not my help to achieve that which it seeks.  May I be true to You who have called upon me to be obedient to Your Word.  May I seek from You treasure to store up in Heaven and not on this earth.  So quickly I forget that my treasures should never be in this life.  How quickly do my feet run to evil, it disgusts me to even think of it.  Father, please help me today, please let Your light shine through me in a way that I don't have a clue. May others see You in me so that YOU ALONE are glorified.  Hide me, the man, from any self seeking and heap up glory for Yourself through my life.  -Amen

Readers, you have not heard from me in quite some time. This prayer above is written from my heart and it is my own prayer this morning.  Hypocrisy runs deep, and a hypocrite I am.  I want you to know that I do not set out to be a hypocrite, it is by my sinful nature in direct disobedience to God, that I fall victim to this sin and all others.  The Word has much to say concerning a hypocrite and it is none pleasing.  If you are like me, and you can feel God's Holy Spirit upon you this morning, PLEAD NOW FOR HIS FORGIVENESS. 

The hour in which we now live is frightfully dangerous, and we do not know the number of our days; nor do we know the hour which the Son of Man will return.  We do know the season in which He will return and EACH ONE OF YOU IS LIVING IN IT RIGHT NOW.  

Do not regard lightly the Word of the Lord.  Be blessed and take count of your iniquities.  You have not heard from me in a long time due to my own.  This you will hear more about soon.  I take responsibility for my own sins.  Know that there is a spiritual war which is taking place right now; the price is YOUR SOUL. 

Father, I ask you for the breastplate of righteousness right now before I leave and step into this world this morning.  I ask for a MIGHTY SHIELD of FAITH because the enemy is deadly accurate with his arrows of temptations and wickedness.  I ask for helmet of Salvation in Your very own Son.  I pray you would shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel.  Please give me a sharp sword which can pierce so I am not defenseless against the wiles of the devil.  While he is the great chess master, always two moves ahead, Lucifer quickly forgets that you made the pieces which go on the board.  Check mate it may be for Lucifer for now; but soon You will gather up all the pieces and declare which are Your own.  Let us not forget that before this world ever was, before the Angels and all mankind, YOU ARE and WERE GOD. 

If You will for me to speak the gospel, I ask that You please shut my ears so that I cannot hear; for I do not want glory.  I am not willing to steal any longer.  To thine is all Glory forever and ever. 

I love you all and pray that each step of your day will be prepared for you.  That your path be ligthened by God and that every step you take and every word you speak have purpose.  Pleasing to God shall we be if we will but humble ourselves and obey. 

Shalom
