“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” James 1:14

Father God, we are finally dissatisfied and weary in our will so, therefore, we are praying to You, the only One that can help us as we are declaring that our will, shall not be coerced, forced, pressured, strong armed, compelled, bullied or intimidated anymore because of the conditions or state of affairs in our lives which has tempted us to do the wrong thing at the wrong time! We are determined and tenacious in this prayer to let the devil and the enemy of our faith know that we are going to uphold a spiritual standard of faith, cleanliness, righteousness, truth, holiness, correctness, and love as You renew our minds to yield not to temptation today, but allow thy Will be done, thy Kingdom come in us as it is in Heaven in Jesus’ name, Amen!

August 30^th – Answer By Fire

“And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.” 1 Kings 18:24

We thank You God because You answer by fire during our drowning situations! Hallelujah! We overcome these downpours of false accusations, downpours of lack, downpours of bad decisions, downpours of fear, downpours of sickness, depression, oppression, and despair because of Your consuming fire that burns out each and everything that doesn’t line up to the Word of God in our lives! We say and pray thank You in Jesus’ name, Amen!

We pray that we shall do business by faith, walk by faith, talk by faith, see by faith, and live by faith always because our faith does not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God, (1 Cor. 2:5) in Jesus’ name, Amen!
