FAITH CAPSULE: Three issues praying about who you look up to, your preparation, and the issue of fear.
LOOKING UP
The only one to look for is the hand of God.
In His hand is deliverance and preservation.
Psalm 34:9, “They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.”
Psalm 119:6, “Then I would not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments.”
PRAYER
Ask that distraction wish causes one to look away from God shall not have a place in your life and permanently cease in every area of your life.
Ask that God will continually enable you to look up to Him alone.
Ask that every force causing shame to become reduced in life be converted to fame, increasing you for the glory of God.
PREPARATION
It is preparation that brings to pass the process of time.
God closed the womb of Hannah to place her in preparation.
When it was time for her womb to become open in answering the prayer of Eli, 1 Samuel 1:20 records, “So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son…”
In preparation, come to the process time.
Preparation is crucial so as not to miss the time of His visitation.
At the time of Passover, there has to be preparation.
Jesus asked the disciples to go and prepared a place for Passover.
Mark 14:16 records, “16 So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.”
PRAYER
Ask God to prepare you to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true. Lord, let me be a living sanctuary for you.
Ask that Lord God give you strength with His holy hand, upholding you in all areas of life.
Ask that God will lead you from temptation and purify you from within.
Ask God to occupy you and clean you from sin.
FEAR SHUTS
Fear is a silent killer that denies one not to answer right in the calling of God.
When fear rises, faith sinks.
When Jesus rose, the disciples remained shut, where they assembled for fear of the Jews.
Jesus visited them in their fear.
John 20:21-22 records, “Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER
Ask God to visit you in every area or issue that locked you up because of fear.
Ask God to breathe on you that the Holy Spirit be active in your life in the name of Jesus.
ASK:
Psalm 86:11 prayed, “Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.”
Pray that God will teach you in His way, that you will walk in His truth, and unite your heart to fear Him.
