Your Voice Of Encouragement

Prayer Champions, we re-broadcast the teachings on the prayer shut-in. Hebrews 10:24 makes suggestions for our conduct and says, And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.  But some cannot do this because we have been wounded, and hurt. We cannot love as we ought because our hearts are scarred or we have built walls of defense around them vowing never to let anyone close enough to ever hurt us again! We have to change and we can ask GOD to help us! We can go to GOD in prayer when we are suffering and confronted with emotional pain. We can find scriptures that we can declare as seek GOD’S face when we are in pain. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.  As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. Psalm 103:12-13, NKJV

Today it is with great joy and thanksgiving that I come to you on this first Sunday in December and first Sunday of the Advent Season. I’m Pastor Diana R. Williams and it is my pleasure to serve Adore The Lord Online Christian Faith Community! We are a fellowship of Christian believers who love The LORD Our GOD with all of our heart, soul, and mind according to Matthew 22:37. Our mission is to worship The LORD Our GOD in Spirit and in Truth, broadcasting over the airwaves with those who are homebound or without church homes.  Come let us adore the Lord in true worship! 

Prayer Champions did you know that there is power in being thankful! The thankful person who is praying, or the person who prays with a thankful heart, is a person who prays with an attitude of gratitude and a spirit of appreciation. Prayer Champions we must recognize that God is good and God has been good to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:18, NKJV, “ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”  

Prayer Champions, we are deeply loved! But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8, NKJV For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 38-39, NKJV

We pray without ceasing in every situation we encounter. Many see prayer as weak, spineless and the last resort of out-of-touch people in over their heads.  I beg to differ.  Prayer is the very first tactic of powerful, resourceful people living in the favor of GOD. Prayer allows mere humans to transcend the supernatural and contend with the forces of evil.  Prayer champions know the secrets of calling upon scriptural promises to bring about triumphant change. “Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven”  Matthew 18:18 Amplified

Today, I want to talk to you about the times that may cause each of us to feel less than victorious. Let me ask you, how do you handle those emotions? When you feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, or sad, what are the ways you confront those feelings? Emotions have a physical component, a psychological component, and a behavioral component. Emotions govern what we do, say, and even what we think. Emotions should serve us and help us make quality decisions. Unfortunately, sometimes emotions can cause us to react instead of responding rationally to a given situation. I’ve said these things to you so that you will have peace in me. In the world you have distress. But be encouraged! I have conquered the world.” John 19:33, CEB

As many go out to the polls today, we pray for God's blessings. Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s order. So live responsibly as a citizen. If you’re irresponsible to the state, then you’re irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible. Duly constituted authorities are only a threat if you’re trying to get by with something. Decent citizens should have nothing to fear. Romans 13:2, Message.

I urge you today Prayer Champions! Have faith in GOD!  JESUS said if we ask the FATHER anything in HIS name, it will be given to us! Mark 11:22-23, NKJV,  So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. We can believe that we receive the things we prayed for by releasing most holy faith.  We pray for the love; power and the sound mind God has granted each of us!.

Nevertheless, not my will, but Your will be done, Lord! We go with our whole soul to God, all of our affection, all of our mind, all of our memory, all of our passion, hopes, fears and all of our faith.  We will not be denied, it must come to pass we have the holy boldness to say, I will not let you go until you bless me! This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to God’s will, God hears us. 1And if we know that God hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked. 1 John 5:14-15, NIV.  Never give up praying. And when you pray, keep alert and be thankful. Colossians 4:2, CEV

While we are waiting for God to move on our behalf, we pray! Prayer Champions, the Bible assures us that all the promises of God are yes and amen! God made great and marvelous promises so that God's nature would become ours too. The promise is to us and to our children and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call. As we honor God, God transforms us, is kind to us and will allow us to live in perfect peace! GOD gives us the power as we invite The Holy Spirit to live within us and change us from within.

Prayer Champions, God wants us to understand His holy word and how to apply it to our lives. God also wants us to have healthy relationships with others and enjoy our lives to the fullest. God grants us the spirit of discernment so that we will not be deceived but can walk in the center of His will for us!  A right relationship with God will help us to develop right relationships with others.  By the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will be able to make wise decisions about every area of our lives.  “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7, KJV

Join us for October's Worship Service! We are a fellowship of Christian believers who love The LORD Our GOD with all of our heart, soul, and mind. (Matthew 22:37, NKJV) Our mission is to worship The LORD Our GOD in Spirit and in Truth, broadcasting over the airwaves with those who are homebound or without church homes. (John 4:23, NKJV) We express our adoration of The LORD in worship through our passionate prayers, perpetual praise, and prophetic preaching of the Word of GOD.

(Matthew 28:19, Luke 22:19)  

I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. Philippians 4:13, TPT So there’s a secret for overcoming all things? Prayer Champions the Voice translations puts it this way, I can be content in any and every situation through the Anointed One who is my power and strength. Voice So then is contentment, learning to be content, or gratified, pleased, comforted, and gladdened, in Christ Jesus the answer? When we pray about the things we must face, the challenges we must confront, the problems we have to solve, and sometimes the crises that occur in our lives, can we be content that God has the situation hand and will help us?  Can we cast those cares on the altar and leave them there? Today's broadcast helps us pray, I can do it!

After the storm – be encouraged and thankful for your life! You have survived! And despite what has happened, GOD longs to bless you still.  Although catastrophe and chaos may seem to abound in every direction, a ray of hope is always present. Although your natural life may be altered by the weather disasters, you can embrace a more powerful spiritual life and start to build something brand new. If you already believe, do not cast away your confidence. God has not abandoned you. From this moment forward, live your life under GOD’S protection and securely within the family of believers. Let your faith grow! Don’t be afraid of what lies ahead. Speak words of love, joy, and peace over your life! Be thankful for even the small things and wonderful acts of kindness that will begin to show up for you! Expect GOD’S favor to perfect those things which concern you! “Don't be afraid.  I have rescued you.    I have called you by name;    now you belong to me. When you cross deep rivers,   I will be with you, and you won

Some situations are so acute we cannot carry on business as usual. Look at the example that Jesus gives us in the 6th chapter of Luke. Jesus had healed the man with the withered hand on the Sabbath day, therefore, the Scribes and Pharisees got indignant.  At Luke 6: 11-12, And they were filled with madness, and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. The Living Bible puts it this way, At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to plot his murder. – Make no mistake about it, they were his enemies, and they wanted to kill Jesus! If Jesus had to pull away, shut in and pray all night, in a life or death situation, we might have to as well. 

As prayer champions, we have decided to spend this entire month thanking and praising the Lord in Prayer for all of the wonderful blessings in our lives! When we enter into the praise of our LORD, either alone or corporately, it is like being taken up to a high place in the LORD. High above everything and everyone around us. Our hearts become fixed on GOD with a heavenly glow resting upon our countenance. So wrapped up in the radiance of the LORD, we can quickly make my way out of sadness, gloom, and disappointment!

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Let's worship the Lord and give thanks together. God is great and greatly to be praised!

Prayer is the very first tactic of powerful, resourceful people living in the favor of GOD. Prayer allows mere humans to transcend the supernatural and contend with the forces of evil.  Prayer champions know the secrets of calling upon scriptural promises to bring about triumphant change. Our prayer affirms our confidence that everything that GOD allows in our life will work together for our good.  We then respond by loving HIM with all of our heart, mind and soul acknowledging that if He never does anything else for us, we are already blessed to be in the kingdom. HIS HOLY SPIRIT frames our prayers to coincide with GOD’S purpose for our life.    “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.”
