Checking into God's Presence... "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;" Isaiah 11:1-2 As the year is withering, Lord, we call on Thee to forgive us out of the depth of Your love. We also ask that You will remove our shame and work on the attributes of our hands. Let us begin to grow like a "rod out of the stem of Jesse". We call on Thee today, oh Lord, make us a truthful branch that extends mainly out of Your name. As Your sons and daughters, invest in us and redeem us from the shackles of anger, hatred, strife, adultery, malice, fornication, pride, jealousy, and lust through the unique power of adoption. From now, let us begin to run our race with joy, peace and victory. Ensure Your spirit rests upon us and in Your name, guide us with the knowledge of truth and the spirit of wisdom and understanding. Counsel us with Your might, so we do not become forsaken, the guide that we do not falter, teach, so we can continue to fear Thee and the power in Your name. You knew us from the beginning because Thou created us; satisfy our strength in You and ensure we eschew the mundane things of this world to serve and worship You so faithfully. Let us be quick in understanding Your love towards us, and with the fear of Your name Lord, give us the courage to act and maintain the type of love You will be happy within our relationship with our neighbours. We pray You in Your name not to judge us with what You see or reprove us with the contents of what You hear from our mouths: rather; deal with us with the humility of Your heart and the mercy of Thine hand. Let the breadth of Thy lips save us through righteousness and by fulfilling the word that came out of Your mouth as a covenant to Abraham, our forefather. "And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious". Amen Isaiah 11:10 Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
