FAITH CAPSULES: Praying demands continual knowing that God answers prayer.

Psalm 91 

Praying the word of God should be continuous engagement.
Pray the word of God before to gain His presence.
Psalm 91 admonishes all, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Reading or quoting the word of God and not spending time to study the word of God is like dwelling but not abiding by the word of God.
It is the same as hearing but not living life by the word of God, the character of running in and running out of the secret of God not staying to dwell and abide in God.
The word of God is the secret of God that does not hide for one that will seek God in His word. (Isaiah 45:19)
The word of God is God. (John 1:1)
The word of God is the presence of God.
Give yourself to the word of God, the presence of God that is the secret of God.
In this wicked world, gain the presence of God. 
Retain His presence, to live life as an overcomer to the glory of God.
PRAYER
Ask that God enable you to gain and understand His word, His secret, dwelling and abiding in His presence.
Ask that the rest of God, the peace of God shall become your portion continually.
Ask that His presence shall take over your life not to become a victim of terror in the night, arrows that fly in the day shall not locate you, pestilence of the darkness shall not come your way, the pestilence that walks in the noonday shall not come to your way of life.
Prayerfully, with knowledge, understanding dwell and abide in the secret place of God, the word of God.
Dwelling and abiding in the presence of God shall know the way of God to become exposed to the peace of God.
Moses, at a point in the calling of God over his life, gains the understand to ask from God to show him His way. 
In Exodus 33:14, God responds to the request of Moses, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
The rest of God is the peace of God.
Isaiah 26:3 records the promise of God for ones seeking Him with understanding, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You Because he trusts in You.”
To gain the PERFECT peace of God, not the peace of wife, husband, or family or friend, but the PEACE OF GOD is for MIND STAYED ON GOD (to be mindful of God have mind that stays on God Psalm 8:4) OR TRUSTS IN GOD (to trust and hope in God shall be blessed by God Jeremiah 17:7). 
PRAYER
Ask that God enable you to have a mind that stays on Him and you know to trust and have hope in God continually that peace of God become your portion.

FAITH CAPSULES: Pray from the word of God, not just from the head.

2kings 5

Know that the word of God is His command, His statutes, and is the testimony of God.
Living God-given life is by keeping the testimonies of God that provoke the blessings of God.
One with desires of the blessing of God should diligently keep the testimonies of God. The word of God speaks to all, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.” (Deuteronomy 6:17)
PRAYER
Ask that you live life to be keeping His commands not to become complicated in days He has given you.
Ask that you will know to keep the testimonies of God to claim and not to miss out on the blessings of God for your life.
God is good. 
In this wicked world, what reduces one is evil.
One can consciously or unconsciously experience being reduced in life physically, spiritually, or emotionally.
With prayer, God shall intervene to bring one out of forces that reduce victim.
Mark or disease that is not of God, placed on one can reduce one. 
Praying the healing word of God shall deliver.
2kings 5:1 records the issue of Naaman that reduced him, “Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master because by him the Lord had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.”
PRAYER
Ask against every conscious or unconscious mark of sickness be washed, not to be reduced in life. (Hebrews 10:22 testifies, “let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Ephesians 5:26 makes us know that God sanctifies and cleanses with the washing of water by the word.”)
Ask that the healing and deliverance word of God shall locate you, bring you up, and not reduce.
1 Chronicles 4:9, “Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “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.”
What is reducing Jabez in life was his given name.
Prayer for today: 
Ask that whatever is reducing you not to answer fully in life to the glory of God should be erased, removed permanently in my life.
Ask against what reduces you shall be terminated and not have a place in your life.
Ask that whoever or wherever that is in position reducing you shall begin to experience the hand of God to be scattered.

FAITH CAPSULES: Keep the testimonies of God to experience the blessing of God.

1Timothy 4

Know that the word of God is His command, His statutes, and is the testimony of God.
Living God-given life is by keeping the testimonies of God that provoke the blessings of God.
One with desires of the blessing of God should diligently keep the testimonies of God. The word of God speaks to all, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.” (Deuteronomy 6:17)
Let there be desire in you to experience the blessings of God.
Keeping the testimonies of God is seeking Him to receive His blessing.
What you keep in the word of God (testimony of God) is what you have received to become of you and position you for the blessings of God.
Psalm 119:2 encourages, “Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!”
The promise of God does not return to God void.
Isaiah 55:11 testifies, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Living God-given life, be encouraged in the word of God, keep the word of God that does not return void.
It is one that void the word of God not to claim the promise of God.
Keeping the testimonies of God will be meditating on the word of God.
Meditating the word God continually is communicating with God not to miss His presence.
The word of God identifies keeping His testimonies in Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Keeping God’s testimonies by meditating on His word is set to gain the blessing of God’s success.
In the journey of life, give self to testimonies of God by meditating on His word continually.
The Bible identifies when you meditate the word of God:
Psalm 77:6, “… I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.”
Psalm 77:12, “I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.”
Psalm 145:5, “I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works.”
1Timothy 4:15, “Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.”
The word of God is God.
The word of God is His command, is His statutes, is His testimonies, and one that will live life by keeping the word of God, meditating the word of God will experience the blessings of God.
Keep the testimonies of God to experience the blessing of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to keep His testimonies.

FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to the word of God to avoid distraction.

Genesis 2, 3

A distraction will take the attention of one away from what is supposed to be doing in life.
Distraction will not announce itself when approaching one but will consciously or unconsciously gain a position in life.
Distraction can cause extreme agitation of the mind or emotions in life.
Distraction can be evidence of the issues of life and will give place not to have the peace of God.
Undeniably, giving oneself to listening to the word of God is the antidote to deny distraction, not to gain position in life.
God listens to all.
God created all to be able to listen.
Without a doubt, one that listens to the word of God during the day and night to keep all His commandments (word of God) will not have a place to become a victim of distraction.
Jesus emphasized the importance of listening when He spoke rhetorically in John 8:43, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” 
By listening to God, one will gain understanding against distraction.   
Get to know with the understanding that to derail man from arrival at the center of divine assignment is also in distraction.
Distraction comes to man through the agent of the devil to derail with deception and lying.
The documentation of Adam and Eve is for all to learn to avoid distractions that will come through deception.
God commands Adam, “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17)
After the command of God to Adam, the serpent approached Eve with distraction to deceptively twist the word of God to Adam saying “…Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1) With Eve, the serpent lied about the command of God for Adam.
By the recording of the word of God, He did not command Adam and Eve not to eat of every tree, but God commanded them not to eat just one of all the trees.
The distraction of Eve was the evidence of not listening to understand the command of God when she wrongly responded to the serpent, “…We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” (Genesis 3:2-3) 
Eve interacted with the serpent.
Eve was not able to listen to the word of God to become a victim of distraction. 
In life, distraction, a deception will settle one for derailment not to arrive in the center of the divine assignment.

Prayer for today: Pray not to be a victim of distraction.

FAITH CAPSULE: Wicked knows about the word of God.

Jeremiah 12

Are you an acclaimed believer with no understanding of what wicked means?
Living as a believer having a place of worship is not evidence of exception not to be identified as a wicked one.
Jeremiah questions God about the wicked ones, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.” (Jeremiah 12:1-2)   
Wicked knows about the word of God but does not know the word of God.
One with the word in the mouth but not in the heart is the wicked one.
Wickedness is evil.
Evil is sin evidence of not having fear for God. 
God is a longsuffering God, His sentence against evil work might not be executed speedily, but God is in perfect control to see overall under the heaven. 
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 is a warning not to be encouraged in continual sinning, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” 
The wicked one can be comfortable and growing living a life of sin, but God does not look away from the appointed time of judging the sinner.
In Psalm 73, Psalmist could not look away from wickedness when he states, “For I was envious of the boastful when I saw the prosperity of the wicked for there are no pangs in their death, but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. Therefore, pride serves as their necklace; violence covers them like a garment.” (Psalm 73:3-6)
Are you one that is not able to look away from the wickedness around you? 
Are you being intimated by the wicked way of life? 
Be restful and know that God is never asleep nor slumber, but He will cause the wicked separated for judgment at His appointed time. 
Look away from the wicked and not be envious of the wickedness activities. 
God cannot be intimidated to act out of His appointed time to judge.
The example about judging by God in Matthew 13:30 records, “Let both grow together until the harvest and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn.’” 
The timing of God is not negotiable but has appointed time.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled not to live life as a wicked one.
