May 22, 2024 at 6:31 amThanks Tina for sharing this encouragement from Joel Osteen’s Ministries. Helmen we walk in the truth and humility the lord honors our prayers. May this be so for us all amen. 🙏 🤲🙏🙏 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ “Today’s Scripture He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd’s bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd’s staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:40, NLT ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ You Have What You Need the giant Goliath was standing before David in a full set of armor. All David had was a sling and a few stones. He could have been intimidated and afraid. “Maybe this isn’t a good idea.” But he knew that sling with the favor of God was more powerful than having the best equipment. It’s not so much what you have; it’s what you think about what you have. If you’re thinking, “If I just had more talent, more training, more experience, more education, more personality,” you’re going to miss the greatness God put in you and limit your life. You don’t need great talent to do something great or to have great resources to leave your mark. You don’t have to come from an influential family to make a big difference.🤲🙏🙏 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Here’s the key: You have exactly what you need to fulfill your destiny. Don’t discount what you have. If you needed more, God would have given you more. Don’t underestimate who you are. God will take what seems like not enough and breathe on it. It will become more than enough.🤲🙏 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ A Prayer for Today “Father, thank You that You have provided me with the gifts and the talents I need. Thank You that I don’t have to have what I think is a big gift for You to use me in a great way. I will be faithful to develop what You’ve given me and trust You to give me more as I increase it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” JOM

May 22, 2024 at 9:11 pmThanks Tina for sharing this so we can know its source. Blessings to you sibling ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🙏”Daily Devo Know the Truth – Joyce Meyer ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ So Jesus said…If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. And You will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. John 8:31-32 (AMPC) ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ In my book Battlefield of the Mind, I also write about Mary’s husband, John, a low-key type of person. He was a man who had been verbally abused by his mother and taunted by playmates in childhood. He hated confrontation and couldn’t stand up to Mary’s strong will. In his own way, John was as much a prisoner as his wife. He blamed her; she blamed him—and here we see Satan’s deceptive ways again. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ John was convinced that it didn’t do any good to stand up to anyone; he was going to lose anyway. He thought the only way to get along was to be quiet and accept whatever happened. John also believed another lie of the devil—that he wasn’t truly loved by God. How could he be? He wasn’t worth loving. Because he felt that way, he had believed the devil’s lies. “I felt as if God said to the world, ‘Believe in Jesus and you’ll be saved.’ I got in on some kind of package deal—but I never felt I was worth loving.” ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ That is one of Satan’s biggest lies: “You are nobody. You are not worth anything.” If the enemy of your mind can convince you that you’re too bad or too worthless, he has set up a stronghold in your mind. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Although John was a Christian, his mind had been imprisoned by his enemy. John has had to learn that he is important to God. For a long time, he did not know the truth. His mother had not told him that he was good, worthwhile, and a child of God. His friends didn’t encourage him, and in the first years of marriage to Mary, her criticism convinced him even further that he was a hopeless failure. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ John needs to know that he is loved, and that he is as valuable to the kingdom of God as Paul, Moses, or anybody else. Jesus cares for him, and He is with him. For John to win his battle and cast down the mental strongholds the devil has built, he needs to know the truth. Jesus said, If you . . . [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free (John 8:31b–32 AMPC). John learns truth as he reads God’s Word, prays, and meditates on what it says to him. He also learns as he applies God’s Word in his daily life and has the experience of watching it work as Jesus said it would. Experience is often the best teacher. I have learned from the Word of God and life’s experiences that God’s Word is filled with power and will tear down the strongholds Satan has built in our minds. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ You cannot be free unless you know that the weapons of warfare are available to you and that you can learn to use them. As you learn to resist Satan and call him a liar, your life will change dramatically for the better. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Prayer of the Day: Lord God, remind me that I am important to You and that I am loved by You, even if I don’t feel loved. Help me to learn that I am as important to You as any other Christian and that You love me as much as You love them. I thank You in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”

May 23, 2024 at 10:09 amThank you Joel Osteen for todays encouragement🤲🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨”Today’s Scripture Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29, NIV ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Don’t Rely on Signs when Thomas heard that Jesus had risen from the dead, he said that he wouldn’t believe unless he saw the physical evidence. You haven’t seen it, but you keep believing. God says that because you believe without a sign, blessing is coming, healing is coming, victory is coming. Don’t be a Thomas and say, “God, show me a sign, open this door, change my circumstances, then I’ll believe.” God is looking for people who believe without a sign, who don’t need the evidence to prove to them that He is working. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ It’s great when you get a sign, but don’t rely on signs. Don’t become dependent on seeing first and then believing. Your faith needs to kick in when there’s no evidence. Instead of asking God to prove to you what He’s going to do, turn it around and prove to God who you are. Prove to Him that you’re not going to be moved by what you don’t see or give up because things aren’t changing. Prove that you’re going to stand in faith when every circumstance says it’s never going to happen. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ A Prayer for Today “Father, thank You that You are sovereign and worthy of my unconditional trust. There are things in my life that I don’t understand, situations I want to see changed, but even if things don’t happen the way I hope, I’m still going to trust You. I am going to stand in faith and be blessed. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” JOM ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ May we continue to walk with the lord in humility honesty and integrity Amen 🙏

May 23, 2024 at 2:23 pmIt’s important to keep in mind as we discuss this topic that one very distinct problem with plagiarism is that the individual whose plagiarizing is in direct contradiction to the scriptures. (Matt. 7:12) says for instance, that for the believer we are to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Regarding this conversation, the idea is that you wouldn’t want another individual to steal the ideas that originate from you, and to purposely use them as if they were their own without giving credit where credit is due. 🙏🏼Father, we are called to walk in truth, in doing so we are told in Your WORD 📖 that it brings You great joy (3 Jn. 1:4). We are also told that all liars are going to hell (Rev 21:8). Strong words yes, but they reveal how You feel about those who yield to the deceptive practice of lying. Teach us LORD, how to walk in Your ways. Let it not once be said about us that we willingly, or in any other way, walk in a way that is contrary to Your holy WORD.📕 Forgive us for missing the mark where this practice of plagiarism is concerned. 📖 Help us Father, to live into what You have said in (Matt. 7:12) and to do unto others as we would have them do unto ourselves. We thank You Abba, for Your mercies that are new every morning…
We ask, in the Name of JESUS.
Amen! 💞GCOGAPrayers: 18276Requests: 1404
May 24, 2024 at 7:24 amThank you Joel Osteen for today’s encouragement. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Happy Friday & A Restful Weekend!!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Today’s Scripture “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9, NLT ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ He Sees You God sees things that we can’t see. So often we let our circumstances determine who we are, how people treat us determine our value, and how good we perform determine our worth. God looks beyond all that. He sees the giant killer in the shepherd boy David. He sees a mighty hero in Gideon who’s hiding from the Midianites. In the former prostitute Rahab, He sees a respectful, honored woman who is in the family line of Jesus. God knows your heart. You may have done things you’re not proud of, but God sees the redeemed you. You may be intimidated, thinking you’re not that talented. God sees the history maker in you. Maybe you’ve been hurt, abandoned, or betrayed. God sees the valuable you, the blessed you, the favored you. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Nothing that’s happened to you has changed the true you. God looks beyond our mistakes, the hurts, the bad breaks, and He sees who He created you to be. He hasn’t lost the vision of who you are. He won’t stop working until He brings out the best you. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ “A Prayer for Today “Father, thank You that You see my heart and know who I am and all the potential that is in me. I struggle and make mistakes, and there is so much I need to improve on in my character, but my heart is committed to You. Show Yourself strong in my life today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” JOM

May 26, 2024 at 4:15 pmMy encouragers class at my church addressed the sin of plagiarism today. It was a topic that was brought up few weeks ago. This “sin” Was addressed today. God opened my inner heart of understanding with the wisdom that flowed from men and women of faith who have lived many decades of their lives honoring and serving God in truth. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ They addressed the reason why any person commits this sin. Some of which were selfish desires; pride; emptiness; low self esteem; lack of knowledge or education; attention seeking; lack of purpose or peace; idleness and the list is endless. I asked questions as to why it is difficult for whoever is plagiarizing to ✋ stop 🛑 🛑 ✋🛑✋🛑✋🛑 The answer is that it won’t stop 🛑when they are neck deep into it, because it has simply become their way of life. They live a lie; it has become their norm, It will not stop 🛑. Sometimes, it is therapeutic for their pain. It makes them feel Good because it calls attention to them and makes them feel good inside!!! 🤯 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ With all the wisdom and maturity in the words I heard and learnt today in that class; I have asked for prayer for me and anyone who may be frustrated as I was. After prayers today; I feel the air of peace after hearing all these facts and knowing this truth. 🤲🙏🙏 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I am thankful that I am no longer one of those that have been fooled over the years. Being a dabber for almost 18 years has been beneficial and rewarding. Thank you Lord for letting me get a closure; helping me to focus my eyes on what you have called me to do. Praying and being guided by the Holy Spirit. Taking my eyes off any posts that could derail my thinking. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🤲I have been a recipient of grace and answered prayer from this community and so, as long as God gives me breath in my 🫁 lungs and I am able, I will continue to pray and intercede as the need arises and as the Lord gives me strength and grace especially for dabbers battling cancer ♋️. The lord graciously healed me and restored my health therefore, I am committed to praying for our brothers and sisters who are still fighting. Amen ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Thanks to all who have taken time to learn and know the truth. May we continue to pray according to Ephesians 6;10-18 and may we do so in truth, love, wisdom, maturity, integrity and understanding. Thank you myanchoresure for your encouragement. Let us enjoy unity and peace as we look away from those issues that injure the spirit. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Leaving the prayer wall like so many of our brothers and sisters have done because of unresolved issues that were expressed does not solve these problems. All of us are laborers in the Lord’s vineyard. We will all account for our stewardship before Our Heavenly Father. If I have crossed the line as a result of my frustration; I humbly ask for forgiveness. I had the opportunity to address my class today and have been blessed by the prayers of the Elders and My Pastor. I am free and grateful that My Heavenly Father has given me peace ☮️ 🕊️ ✌️ looking away for my sanity and peace. The Lord will take care of His flock. We are all His. Thanks and blessings in Him. 🤲🙏Gods Chosen OneGA 🤲🙏

May 26, 2024 at 7:35 pmIt is troubling because so many people have voiced their concerns, have repented when perhaps we ourselves have discounted the work of another, and have shared its premise, without acknowledging its source (that being the person who actually labored and birthed) the original text and/or manuscript. The author is a human being that has labored long to produce something meaningful… but we negate that labor of love when we fail to give credit where credit is due. When we steal the work of another in an effort to pass it off as our own original thoughts, we are “elevating self,” thereby likening the man or woman who actually labored to produce this work an afterthought, one whose name and work as unworthy of mention. This has all but gone by the wayside when plagiarism supersedes accountability and envy, pride and self-seeking is the slop that continues to be served. Where is the conviction that should have already come when this was called into question and pointed out as nearly “word for word” and later revealed as a “reposting of” Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer or an article taken from a reputable news source, or an article on prayer taken from The Intercessors of America as though it was one’s own work as “food for thought” from the multiple reposts? I have searched my own heart before God, and ‘have not found it wanting’ to serve a personal vendetta or agenda; but rather to seek ‘the truth in love’ that our calling to serve as intercessors will not be hindered by the sin of plagiarism in our midst on The Prayer Wall. Like Brian says; this is a sacred place that is always on 24/7, so check it out, don’t miss out on being a part of it. This is the heartthrob of God to intercede and pray for one another, one that we as ‘prayer warriors have been entrusted with the responsibility of stewarding.’ Come Holy Spirit, may blind eyes be opened, may pride, self-seeking, envy, wrath and deceit fall by the wayside as we contend before Your Holy Spirit for a spirit of brokenness and a collective heart of repentance. We love You Father and we seek to love, honor and serve You, being of one mind, The mind of Christ, and of one accord that is Jesus, Our King of Kings and Prince of Peace. Have Your Way in us oh God so that our prayers may be pleasing unto You, as a sweet aroma rising up to Your Holy Name. May it be done for us according to Your perfect will and our faith in The One to Whose Name we pray, The Matchless Name of Jesus, Yes and amen🫶🏻🙏🏻❣️

May 26, 2024 at 8:26 pmHaving fully read your last post that may have posted while I was laboring with my own frustrations… I do agree with you Beloved sister GodsChosenOneinGA. There is great wisdom in your words and it is time to let go in love and to move forward, as you so eloquently stated we have all been forgiven and healed of much! Now then, let us love much, in Jesus Mighty Name. I choose love, joy, peace and contentment in The Holy Spirit and ask for forgiveness that I did not choose wisdom sooner. I thank You Dear and Precious Lord for Your gift of repentance❤️🙏🏻 and that I have chosen the Good thing, that is Your Presence. May we never lose sight of this truth, in Jesus Name‼️

May 27, 2024 at 7:14 amDearest NewTrix4an01’d0g; Your words and prayers are very encouraging and well appreciated. We need the Holy Spirit to help us with wisdom and discernment but most importantly we need to attain a measure of deliberate effort to discipline ourselves, especially our eyes and then the mind from allowing Satan to distract and cause us to go back to our vomit 🤢 God forbid it! In order to maintain healthy and purposeful prayer discipline, we need the fruits of the spirit; the mind has to be guarded seriously from all avenues that could cause damage to our spirit man. 🧍🏿♂️ We have to put on our armor and be watchful for the scheme of the devil. 👿 God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love 💕 and of a sound mind. I need discipline to look away and keep my focus on what is most important- praying with compassion; being kind, and intentional in caring, loving and understanding. I want to decrease so that God’s light 💡 can shine bright. I will be interceding for all who take time to pray that God will give them a heart of love, unity humility and peace in their calling. We have lost great warriors on this sacred wall. Many just decided to bid the wall “bye” and they never looked back!! When God calls you, you don’t quit!!! I stand in Him, for and through Him. Praying for increased wisdom and enduring patience; grace and God’s unending mercy and strength to do just the little we can for His glory. There are other important things to invest time on and I pray that God will give us his wisdom direction and discernment. Thank you again for all you do on the wall for our siblings. May the lord be glorified in our lives as we continue to walk in honesty, humility, love and integrity. Be blessed on this Memorial Day. May God bless all our service men and women who have sacrificed their lives for this great nation on earth. 🌎 Blessings to the overflowing again my beloved sister. Much love 💕 🤲🙏

We decrease so that He can increase thus helping us to relinquish pride and selfish desires. May the lord continue to help us to look away; walk honestly and humbly; and may we pray in unity and love giving room For the fruits of the spirit to lead and guide us in our intercession. The world Is already filled with enough chaos and decadence. All we have to do is walk by the guidance of His Holy Spirit. I Strive to live by my favorite scripture Proverbs 3:5-6 daily. All to Jesus, we Surrender and all to Him we Freely give. Have your way Lord Jesus. Amen. Shalom. May we finish the race set before us well to his glory🤲
