"Prayers of the Saints"

"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having 

a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, 

that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon 

the golden altar which was before the throne."

(Revelation 8:3)

They are not just words uttered into nothingness; they are not just the murmurs of one in dire need; they're not just statements sent forth into space with no return  ...  No, no; they are POWER uttered from lips of those who know where those heartfelt pleas are going.  In fact, they're so important to God that He keeps them along with the tears; He bottles them up!  "Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?"  (Psalm 56:8)  Prayers are extremely important to God  ...  "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."  (James 5:16) 

"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;

 and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

(James 5:15) 

Don't underestimate what happens when you pray!  We can go all around the world on our knees; we loose angels and cast down demons; we dispatch and unlatch; we meet and defeat; we climb and we soar; we launch into the deep and we leave the devil in a heap; we fly above the snake line and we can SEE for miles; we step into realms of glory and move in auras of power; we hi-five with angels and war with devils; we venture into grass huts with kneeling pleading missionaries; we enter palaces and confront dictators; we subdue governments and uplift crying Nations; we reach into hearts and bring clarity to minds; we are the MOST powerful in our lives when we're on our knees  ...  Ah, prayer!  It's the greatest adventure of your life  ...  if you do it right  ...

Depiction of Jesus Christ praying in the Garden

before the Cross

The God of eternity, who became flesh and dwelt among us, our Lord Jesus Christ, knows about prayer.  He prayed so intensely in the garden that he sweat drops of blood!  It has been scientifically proven that this is possible.  Prayer changes things, changes circumstances, changes hearts, changes minds, changes  ...  "us!"  We must be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, because sometimes "we" don't know what to pray, but the Spirit makes intercession for us.  Paul said he prayed in tongues (or in the Spirit) and he also prayed in his own native language; he sang in tongues and he sang in his native language.  Ah, it's a beautiful thing, indeed, to spend time praying in the Spirit; it is refreshing, and when you pray in tongues, you are speaking His language and you are speaking directly to God.

People pray, each in their own way, and "the right way" is meant to say that it must be done from a repentant, honest, and sincere heart.  God is no respecter of persons; all who come to Him, honestly, He receives!  And, the most powerful of all is the UNITY of the body of Christ, His Church, all praying all over the world  ...  it will shake the very foundations of earth!  It's our Holy connection, "dust" rising in the winds to meet the Creator!  God said it, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."  (2 Chronicles 7:14)  We're there now!  What?  We have come to the time of "if my people ... will ... pray..."  The world is a mess, a terror-ridden mass of hate, a series of governments run amok, a scared generation looking for some leader somewhere to lead righteously, a Church feeling the pounding of Revelation's hooves and the hearing of a distant trumpet, a Bride preparing her wedding garments and oiling her lamps, a Harvest looming before Laodicean reapers, a readying for the antichrist who is lurking in the wings  ...  It's time to PRAY, and ACT, and REAP, and GO into all the world  ... on our knees, and every other way we can get there!  AMEN!

The Prayers of the Saints!  Nothing happens without the Saints' prayers  ...  Nothing!  Something has to be sent up, for something to come down.  As my wise and wonderful Pastor Phillips says, "Without God; we can do nothing, and without us, God will do nothing!"  Pray on Saints, fight on Saints, war on Saints  ...  we're on the Home stretch now; the clock is ticking down; the horses are pawing the ground and preparing to ride; the Angels are readying their vials and seals; the code "666" is on the soon horizon; the world is seeking a leader to bring peace, but he will bring War; the Angels of God are antsy; the praying saints are feeling the pressure and leaving is on their minds; the heavens are restless and war is raging in the second heaven; the Holy Bridegroom is losing patience  ...  we are "Between His face and His fury;"  PRAY!  

"UNITY"

What's holding up everything?  The Saints of Almighty God!  Huh?  If people think it's bad now; wait until the Saints are gone!  We, the praying, soul-winning, worshiping, standing, warring, believing Saints of Almighty God, are holding back the final terror, the Tribulation period and the antichrist.  " For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."  (2 Thessalonians 2:7)  When the Rapture takes place, and all the Saints of God, are taken out of the way  ...  terror will occur such as no one has ever seen.  What must we do?  Get right!  Repent, be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance; be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and live right, stay right, witness to everyone we see;  look up, and PRAY with the pure heart and innocence of a little child  ...  because our redemption draweth nigh!

"He Got Up!"

"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are

of all men most miserable.  But now is Christ risen

from the dead  ... even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

(I Corinthians 15:19,20,22)

Jesus Christ IS ALIVE!  He arose the third day as He 

said He would; and mankind was redeemed 

From the whipping post to the cross, to the tomb, but it 

was not over as it seemed

The tomb was now empty, and the stone was rolled away; there

is no more pain; only the scars remain

The cross didn't defeat Him; the tomb didn't hold Him; death

didn't conquer Him; the universe is His domain

Hell trembled when He burst through the door; the keys 

were in His hand, and He was THE Man!

Defeat was swallowed up in victory by the One who reigns

over all; it was an immortal plan

"Is it really true?" you ask.  The Lord Jesus Christ appeared

to many after He arose; it's true

And, by the outpouring of His Spirit, after He ascended to 

the throne; the truth is confirmed anew

He IS the risen LORD, the God of creation, the Savior 

and the Comforter; He IS "I AM!"

He IS the Alpha and Omega, the Holy One of Israel, the 

Lion of Judah, and the risen Lamb

The world will never be the same, for Glory took the 

reins and Holiness is on the move

To reclaim Eden, bring earth to the altar, and rains of 

the Spirit, a power which satan doesn't approve

But, wail all you will satan, the world is not yours to 

plunder; it is the LORD'S footstool

Jesus Christ sits upon the circle of the earth, and His 

rising has shown you, satan, to be but a fool

The Lord Jesus Christ is alive forevermore; His majesty 

took reign, when He knelt and drank the cup

Then, the sin was obliterated by the blood, the cross, the

death, and when "He Got Up!"

"His Love"

This is a Word from the Lord:

"You do not understand My love," says the Lord. 

 "You cannot fathom the love I have for whom I formed 

with My own hand, and molded into beloved man and 

woman. Love to you is a word and some emotions that

 fill your being, but to Me, it is the culmination of 

thousands of years of My loneliness for someone to

 partake of the beauty that flows from My mind into 

everything I touch and create, from the universe, to the 

earth, to My own created man and woman. Do you not 

know that I would die for you again, that I would bleed

 for you again, that I would be beaten for you again? 

 All that I gave of Myself was the intricacies of Love; it 

was the splash of infinite blood for a creation that knows 

not what is waiting for them. No, my beloved ones; You

 do not understand My Love, and You will not comprehend 

it, nor know it in its fullness, until you see Me face to face. 

 When you look into My eyes, you will eternally 

know LOVE." Says the Lord of Hosts.

"Mercy Walked In"

"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery;

and when they had set her in the midst,  ...  So when they continued asking him,

he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him

first cast a stone at her.  Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.  And they

which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,

 beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman

 standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the

woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man

condemned thee?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I

 condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

(John 8:3-11)

Jesus, writing on the ground

the sins of the people ready to

stone the woman taken in adultery

"Forgiveness" is one of the hardest things for anyone and everyone to master; the bottom line is: We all have need of it; that big thing called  forgiveness; we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.  God saw good in this woman, when the people only saw her sin.  The people ready to throw the stones had to drop them, when Jesus began writing their own sins on the ground for everyone to see.  When we, ourselves, have been forgiven so much, why is it so hard for us to forgive others?  Is it pride; is it vengeance; do we somehow feel we have control when we hold on to hatred and grudges; does it accomplish anything when we refuse to forgive?  Oh yeah, it accomplishes something all right  ...  it hinders our relationship with God; it stops answered prayer; it can bring on disease (medical research has proven different diseases have a basis of guilt, unforgiveness, and other deep-seeded emotions), and it completely robs us of Joy.

We must forgive, because we have been, and forever are,"Forgiven."  We all were bad, born in sin and shapen in iniquity, but God saw the best in us.  Winning souls requires us to forgive others "before" we lead them to the cross  ...  to see their potential, to view them as blood-washed and buried in Jesus' name, before they ever get there.  The love of Jesus Christ shining through us to others is the impetus for soul-winning. 

  "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else,

for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself,

because you who pass judgment do the same things."

(Romans 2:1)

Forgiving sets "us" free even more than the other person.  Huh?  There are times when we carry around bitterness, grudges, hatred, strife, and other treacherous emotions, when the other person is not even aware of it. So, who is it hurting?  You say, "You don't know what was done to me?"  Life has some really horrific things that happen to people, but the Lord didn't distinguish between small things and big things, between terror things and irksome things; He just said if we don't forgive others, He won't forgive us.

The Lord Jesus Christ forgives us, picks us up, carries us on, and loves us day by day; how much more should we forgive and love our brothers and sisters?  I didn't say it was easy, but it is surely required.  All we have to do is look at ourselves in the mirror, and we know that sometime in our lives we have hurt others; we have said or done things that require others to forgive us.  That's a hard thing to face, but if we could, we would all go back and do some things over; wouldn't we?  Age, trials, experiences, and growth in God give us knowledge that we wish we could have had when we were younger, or even just a few days ago  ...  What?  We're not perfect human beings, just "forgiven."  Repentance is a daily thing; as long as we abide in earth, we will hurt, be done wrong, gripe and receive gripes  ...  and "I'm sorry" is ever on our lips, isn't it?  Love IS having to say, "I'm sorry."  Those two little words could cure the whole world, could bring peace to Nations, could set governments straight, could heal a multitude of hearts  ... two "powerful" words  ...   

Are you having constant trouble in your life?  Do you battle with illnesses?  Do you seem to never get ahead, yet you are a Christian?  We have to face it  ... is there anyone we have not forgiven?  You say, "It was a parent, who is now deceased."  Go to the grave, or if that's not possible; kneel at an altar of God and speak it, "I forgive you, daddy, or mom, or whoever hurt you."  Jesus will hear it; you will hear yourself say it, and you will bring a release.  You say, "I just can't; you don't know; this was devastating to me."  Jesus knows, and if you ask Him for strength to do it, He will help you.  You may have to say it over and over; it may be a process, until you sense the release.  But, you will have a release if you do it.  A great heaviness will lift from you, when you forgive those who have hurt you.  It is a requirement of the Lord when we come to Him.  If we do not forgive others, He will not forgive us.  And, Jesus Christ is our example; what did He say about those who nailed Him to the cross, while He was yet hanging on the cross?  He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

"Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are

well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."

(John 5:14)

You say, "Do these types of things really have anything to do with sickness?"  In the above scripture, the Lord had healed a man and later he saw him in the temple, and told him to stop sinning, or he could have worse trouble.  The Bible says if we know to do what is right and we do not do it, it is sin.  (James 4:17) Therefore, the Word says to forgive, and we know it says that, so if we don't do it, we are sinning.  It is the Lord's desire that we prosper and be in health, that we have hope and a future, that our ashes are turned into beauty, that we walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, that we are blessed coming in and going out  ...  that we live in peace  ...  It's simple; OBEY the Lover of our souls; OBEY the Holy Bible; OBEY the commandments; OBEY and Live!

Let it go!  It's not worth losing your health, your wealth, your peace, your joy, and you will feel free as a bird.  It's tough to fly if our wings are broken  ...  Our wings are the principles of our faith, our obedience to the Word hidden in our hearts, and the armor that helps us stand and then succeed in war with the enemy.  If any part of that is failing, we have broken wings, so to speak.  Sin, in any way, shape or form, robs us of everything God has for us.  Come out of the dark dungeon and into the light; give it all up to Jesus; write letters, make calls, visit a grave, or just do something to let that person know you forgive them, even if they do not accept it  ...  you are released.  Then, come unto Jesus, and let Him brighten your world for the first time in a long time.  Do it, today  ...

We forgive for one main reason:

WE are forgiven; it happened when 
"Mercy Walked In"
