The Power of Prayer – 2

God hears and answers the prayers of all His children. We must focus on watching and praying always. Prayer changes things. Many situations have been altered, lives changed and priorities rearranged by spending time in prayer. There is no inherent power in prayer itself, but rather prayer connects us to God who is all powerful.

• 

Let us continue to pray ardently that God’s promise to prayer may be more than realized.

The Power of Prayer

The power of prayer is not the result of the person praying. Rather, the power resides in God who is being prayed to. Prayer opens up a lot of opportunities in our lives. It benefits the mind, body and soul. Prayer gets me through every day, as I ask the Lord to direct my path and guide me along the way.

Below is a poem about the power of prayer. I write it to remind myself and hope it will remind you that prayer is important in our daily lives.

• 

God works when we pray.  Things happen when we pray. Things change when we pray, mountains move when we pray, and most important, we change when we pray. Keep praying. 

To you reading this, thank you so much for being here. You are special to me and I appreciate you always registering your presence here. May God be with you as you go through your day!

Today’s Prayer # 115

Dear Heavenly Father I am grateful to you for opening my eyes this morning to see your beautiful creation, how beautiful the trees and birds are. I am most thankful that you sent your only begotten son to this world to die for a sinful soul like me. To give me a chance at eternity.

Celebrating My Baptism Anniversary 💃🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥

The best day of my life is a day I will never forget. June 15, 1986 was an ordinary Sunday night for many people, but for me, it was a night that changed my life forever. It was the beginning of something marvelous and awe amazing for me.

• 

What happened on June 15, 1986? Today marks thirty-five years since I was baptized. It was the start of a new journey for me. Being baptized I made a public announcement of faith, a belief in what Christ did for me, a proclamation of profound change, and an act of surrender to the crucified and resurrected Jesus Christ.

My baptism experience was amazing. I remember that night after being immersed I felt like my soul had been cleaned spotless and I was filled with overwhelming joy. Knowing I was making the right choice I came up from the water rejoicing. I was convinced that I was born again. It was the beginning of a great journey walking hand in hand with the one who died for me. I was only a child but I was very excited and zealous to know and learn more about God. I was anxious to attend every church service, be a part of a bible quiz team, and be able to repeat the golden text in my Sunday school class every week.

Amazingly, as I recall, the more I read the scriptures in my early days after becoming a Christian I felt more at peace and was able to share with my schoolmates about the love of Christ. I no longer felt tempted by the things of the world. I started to attend church functions regularly and serve actively in various ministries. The more I got to know God, the more joyful, peaceful, and secure I felt.

Looking back after thirty-five years, I can see clearly how God’s love remained true and faithful despite the fact that I messed up many times. Although my struggles and challenges did not disappear from my life, they prompted me to draw close to God and rely on Him more. Through each difficult moment, God’s tender love has never failed to guide me through. I have finally understood what it means to have faith and trust in a God who is unseen. Over the years I have found comfort, peace, meaning, and joy in the Lord that the world does not give me. Walking with Jesus is the best decision I have made. Today I am grateful for being obedient to His call. I am grateful and I want to tell the world, Jesus saved my soul and made me whole.

May God’s name be praised for what he has done in my life and for what he will continue to do!!! Magnify the LORD with me, Hallelujah for His saving grace that saved a sinner like me!!! Click here to read more about my baptismal experience.

Prayer of Repentance😢😢

Dear Heavenly Father, here I am, your daughter, a little lump of clay. I acknowledge that I have sinned and I come before you in humility asking for your forgiveness. I come before with a heart that longs for more of you. I want to feel the presence of your Holy Spirit from day to day. I want to hear your still small voice. But you word declares that if I have iniquity in my heart you will not hear me. Your word also tells me that if I confess my sins, you are faithful and just to forgive me of sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Father, you see my heart and know it is a fickle thing, full of deceit and selfish desires.

Father I have sinned and I seek your forgiveness. I feel guilty for all the wrong doings in my life. I feel guilty for being disobedient😢😢, for doubting you and listening to the lies of the devil. I have had sinful thoughts and have done sinful actions as well. I cannot undo what I have done, but here I am, I repent of my sinful thoughts, and actions, and ask you to take me and mold me into a vessel fit for your use. Today the door of my heart is open wide. Come in, and expose all the sin in my heart, convict me, clean out the skeletons and the cobwebs and make me clean.

Please forgive me for all the wrong things I may have done or committed knowingly or unknowingly. Please Lord, forgive me for the sins that I have done in the past. I know I am far from perfect but I know you are a forgiving God. Father I am ready to let go. I submit and surrender my all to you. Lord I am consciously choosing to allow you to wash me and make me pure within. Please fill my heart with your light and love. I accept your forgiveness you offer me and thank you for hearing me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

I Am Who God Says I Am

I, Fay Ann Swearing is set apart. I am different. I am a child of the Most High God, a daughter of the King. I am a royal priesthood and my worth is priceless. I am above and not beneath. I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. I am loved by God before the creation of the world. Matthew 25:34. I am the apple of His eye. Zechariah 2:8.

I am never alone. Hebrews 13:5. He Himself has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I am chosen. John 15:16 You did not choose me; I chose you.  I am not forsaken. I am accepted by Christ. Psalm 94:14, “The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession”. I am victorious. 2 Corinthians 2:14. I am gifted. James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above. I am valued, precious in God’s sight, fearfully and wonderfully made in the image and likeness of my Creator. Psalm 139:14

I know, that I know, that God is real and he lives in my heart. It is not any goodness of my own but it’s the goodness of the Lord that is keeping me and His Grace and mercy follow me everyday of my life. God is working everything out for my good. Romans 8:28

Build On The Solid Rock – Part 1

Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

The stability of a building depends on a solid foundation and so does the stability of our lives.

What are you building your life upon? Is it on your vehicle, your husband/wife, children, your money, your house, your good health, or all the other earthly achievements? Guess what? At some point, all of these will wash away, like sand slipping out from under your feet. When the storm come to the houses built on sand they wreak havoc. But nothing can move the houses that are firmly built on Jesus Christ, the Solid Rock.

During this time of uncertainty, I am reminded of the lyrics, “On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. It is such a blessing to know that in the midst of all that is happening around us, Jesus Christ is our Solid Rock. He is the Solid Rock that cannot be shaken. He is the Rock that is immovable, protective, secure, firm and strong. It is the best foundation to build our lives upon.

Lord help us all to make Jesus Christ, the Solid Rock, our only foundation.

My Rock

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Saviour; thou savest me from violence.” 2 Samuel 22:2-3

Someone sent me this picture and immediately I thought of writing a post about the rock, which is JESUS, our only true rock.

So often we tend to look to the worldly things to satisfy us which fail so many times and leave us hanging. But there is a rock we can trust. That rock is Jesus Christ. A building is not secure unless it is built on solid ground with a good foundation. Neither is a person secure unless his life is built on Jesus Christ.

Take note of the words connected to safety and protection in the scripture quoted above. The Lord is . . . my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my rock, my shield, my salvation, and my refuge. Notice the personal nature of these words with the use of the word “my.”

Are you building your life upon the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ? If you cannot answer yes this morning, today is a good time to start. He is a rock that cannot be moved. Lord, you are our rock. Let us hide ourselves in you.

Remembering Mama

Today am giving God thanks for Mama’s life. Today she would have been 103 years old, but God took her home seventeen years ago. I am grateful to God for Mama’s life of 86 years.

Today as I remember Mama I am grateful that she is no longer in pain, but resting. I am grateful Mama taught me how to pray and led by example. She encouraged me to trust God and not curse God. I still remember her voice as she read the bible and prayed those long prayers. I also remember her voice, her laughter, her cooking and her groans while she prayed.

Mama’s wisdom rubbed off on me so much so that when I echo things that she would say, people always laugh and ask where I get that from. Sometimes I still hear my Mama’s words ringing in my ear whenever I engage in things that I shouldn’t have done. Mama would always go out of her way to help others. She was just a giver and a strong woman of faith.

Mama was a precious gift from God, so much beauty, grace, love and patience she possessed. Mama’s passion for life, her compassion for others, and her loyalty to her faith, her self-sacrifice, and an uncomplaining spirit remains etched with a platinum pen, with an exquisite diamond tip and a steady flow of spectrum light on all those she loved, touched, and served. I am forever grateful for the influence that her love, wisdom, amity, discipline and guidance have in my life. I am forever grateful for how she nurtured me in the faith.

I will forever love and adore you Mama for everything you taught me in life. Your death took away joy from our lives but we will hold on to the beautiful memories of times spent with you. Mama you were and always will be, our gold standard. Rest well Mama.

Resting In God’s Faithfulness

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:23).

God does not always answer my prayers the way I would hope, but He remains a faithful God. I am thankful that God is faithful, he never changes. He is the same God of Moses, Elijah, Abraham and Sarah. He is the same God of the three Hebrew boys. The God who was with Daniel in the lion’s den. He keeps His word and we do well to obey and trust Him. In our distress, this is the unchanging God who is faithful. He is faithful even when we are faithless. 

“Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; Deuteronomy 7:9

None is faithful like my God. When you are discouraged, remember God’s faithfulness. My prayer is that we will be conscious of his faithfulness in our lives each day.

Focusing on God’s Goodness

“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Psalm 34:8

Remembering God’s goodness uplifts me. It helps me in all my daily struggles.

God’s sovereignty and goodness have been made more evident to me as I consider all that has been happening in the world.

Today I challenge you to reflect on the goodness of God.

I pray that as I reflect the light of Christ, more people will see the light of Christ through me and surrender their lives to Christ.🕯️🕯️

Lord I thank you for blessing me with people who have their light turned up so brightly, that they lead me down the path that you desire me to follow. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer in Jesus name I pray amen.

Birthday Prayer

Today, I go down on my knees to thank you Heavenly Father from the depths of my soul for blessing me so lavishly with your choicest blessings. On this special day, Oh God, I humbly come before you thanking you for another birthday. Lord, thank you for bringing me into another fabulous year where I will live out your glory. Lord I give you all the praise and honor for enabling me to mark yet another year of my life. I give you all the glory for how far you have brought me. I exalt your Holy name for all the blessings both seen and unseen. Forgive me of all my iniquities Oh Lord and help me forgive all those who have wronged me. Create in me a clean heart and let every thought and words that I speak be guided by you.

Waking up to know that this is the special day in which I was born, makes me feel very thankful. My heart cannot find the right words to express how grateful I am. Lord I cannot thank you enough for bringing me this far in life. I might not have riches, or have worldly possessions but you have blessed me with life, good health, happiness and peace of mind. These gifts are worth more than all the money and treasures of the world. Thank you, God, for blessing me with such priceless gifts.

I thank you, Lord, for giving me the air that I breathe. I thank you for giving me the strength I need to function each day. I thank you for the amazing family members and true friends you have surrounded me with. I thank you for the happiness that you have put into my heart! Thank you for everything, my dearest heavenly Father. Being alive and healthy today is as a result of none other than the Almighty God. Thank you so much Heavenly Father.

I also pray that I will continue to be a blessing to all who know me and all who I will encounter in the days ahead. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer in Jesus name I pray amen.

Thankful For Another Milestone

Every year I try to write a birthday post expressing my gratitude to my Heavenly Father for his faithfulness and blessings. Also to express how grateful I am for each and every one of you that GOD has placed in my life. However, this year is a bit different and this post is coming late, nonetheless I will post more about this special milestone at a later date.

I am so grateful that I am celebrating another birth anniversary. I truly thank God for the gift of life.

• 

Another birthday means another day of praising and giving God thanks. Thank you Lord for filling my life with countless blessings. Thank you for bringing me to this new age. Thank you for the blessings of family and friends. I am loved and blessed and I am forever grateful for their love. Thank you for allowing me to set aside my agenda to satisfy the flesh, which brings temporary satisfaction and to be engaged in prayer and fasting, praising you and feasting upon your words instead of honoring myself.

Heavenly Father, only you know the desires of my heart, but all I ask is that you give me the ability and strength to continue to love and serve you faithfully throughout all of my remaining years.

Grateful For The Atonement

Isn’t the atonement of Jesus Christ amazing?! I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and for His sacrifice for us. I know that He loves us because He chose to suffer and die for us.

Sweet Jesus you died for me. You are the perfect definition of love. Amazing Grace, that’s me, a wretched sinner saved by His grace. My heart jumps for joy and so many times I just cannot take it all in, thank you Jesus.

I feel so loved by my Heavenly Father. I have been able to be comforted and feel of God’s love for me through the power of the Holy Ghost. I love my Saviour, Jesus Christ. Bless The Lord O my soul. All Glory to God Almighty for he is good and gracious!

The Sufficiency of His Amazing Grace

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

God has chosen not to remove my “thorn”. His grace is working with my faith, giving me the strength that I need.

His grace is more than a warm blanket to comfort me in my weakness. It is the fuel for my soul to power me through them. I have zero percentage of sufficiency in myself. In my weakest of moments there is always sufficient strength in God’s grace to sustain me. Only God’s grace is sufficient to sustain me.

The ONLY reason I am here today is because of God’s GRACE!! Thank you God for the gift of your Amazing Grace!💕💕💕

The Tale of Lust

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1: 14-15

The Holy Spirit is there to strengthen us in the struggle against lust. As we ask him daily to help us apply a filter to what enters our mind and our eyes. We can overcome sinful urges, fleshly lusts and carnal desires by living and abiding in the word.

Today’s Prayer #93

Dear heavenly Father I thank you for a new day. Thank you for waking me up to see the start of this new day. Father as I journey throughout this day help me not to be anxious or fearful but trust you wholeheartedly. Father, I thank you that you promise to be with me always. Thank you that your presence is with me. Lord you see and know the concerns of my heart at this time but help me to rely completely on you. As I keep trusting you, may you favour me, satisfy the righteous desires of my heart and elevate me to heights beyond my imagination.

Father, I pray that doors of unprecedented favour will be opened to all visit my blog. Everywhere that they may turn this day and beyond, may they be helped supernaturally. I pray that their barns will be enlarged and even their enemies will marvel at your goodness.

I pray that no one who visits this blog will leave feeling empty but will feel your presence. They will enjoy the peace of God and fullness of your joy. May you provide all of their needs according to your riches in glory. Father I pray that doors of ceaseless provision will be open unto one and all.

A Treacherous Climb

I found myself walking in a place unfamiliar to me, only to realize it was only a dream,
Glancing around I saw behind me a lonely road heading down a stream,
In the opposite direction a peak before me so high, a very steep hill,
this unfamiliar place so quiet and still,
enthralled by anxiety the dirt sunk beneath my feet,
pulse racing, I felt dizzy, I felt my heart wildly beat,
knowing not my destination, I sigh as I ponder my situation,
I stood in disbelief and breathe out my frustration.

I began my treacherous climb, slipping, sliding in the dirt like I was diving,
Anxiety wrapped its arms around me, without warning, I began crying,
like a fountain, I just let my tears spill,
nervously climbing this dangerous hill,
twas an uphill battle, getting above this hill that looks like a mountain,
my nerves rattle, my tears flow uncontrollably like a fountain,
gazing at this empty place, I felt as though I was going to die,
but then, I tried to pray even though I was terrified.

The hill so rough and splintery and so the task was hard, you see,
as I climb my feet grew weak,
wobbling a bit, I slowly try to stand,
brushing away the dirt from my knees and my feeble hand,
feeling of sinking, clawing for solid ground,
crawling on my belly I sensed the smell of death coming from all around,
the whisper of a cold wind blew and whipped across my face,
I silently whispered, oh Lord, this death fate I must embrace.

This experience is about a dream I had recently. Regrettably I woke up before reaching the top of the hill. It was a nerve rocking experience. I felt weak and tired when I woke up, only to realize it was only a dream.

Today you may have thought that you have reached your highest point and you cannot climb any further. Yet, there is hope and there are many lessons to be learnt from this difficult experience. Our focus should not stay hung up on all the struggles we face in life and possibly still experiencing at this time.

Regardless of how difficult opposition may rise, remember that the Almighty God has a purpose and plan to far exceed anything of the world and its leverages. When we stand firm in the relationship with God, he gives us power to overcome.

Whatever your mountain may be, I am confident that with God’s help you can climb it. Just imagine the glory of conquering it.

Dear Heavenly Father today give us strength though your Spirit to face whatever struggle may come our way. I know with you, we will get to the other side. In Jesus Christ name. Amen

Sail on with Jesus

If you sail on with Jesus always,
When your ship loses anchor you’ll walk on waves,
He’ll never leave you in dismay,
So sail on with Jesus always.

He’s beckoning to those who have strayed,
Gave his life so sinners might be saved,
There’ll be no redemption in the grave,
So sail on with Jesus always.

His nail print hand is reaching,
Stretch forth and be redeemed,
So you might make it in that great meeting,
Within the portals of celestial realm.

Give your life to Jesus, no delay,
In the end you’ll be victorious comes what may,
These times are so mysterious but don’t you go astray,
Sail on with Jesus always.

A Strong Black Woman

I am a strong, black woman, compassionate, gentle and kind,

Resting In God’s Faithfulness

Absolutely nothing or no one in this world is 100% reliable, but God is. Isaiah 25:1 encourages us, “O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvellous things, things planned long ago.”

I just want to remind someone that whenever you pray you can trust that God hears and answers your prayers. One thing is for certain HE ANSWERS PRAYERS.  🙏🙏. I am a living witness to that fact. He is faithful to all his promises. God’s faithfulness is manifested in His keeping His promise and covenant. His fulfilling every word that goes out of His mouth regardless of what man does.

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.

When I do not see God at work in a certain situation, I want to rest in the peace that He knows all about it and he will work it out for my good. There is uncertainty regarding a project I am working on but I am praying with expectancy and is hopeful that God will show up, and work it out as he always does.

Lord, thank you for this day. I am grateful for your unending love and amazing grace. I praise you for your protection over my loved ones and even my enemies. Thank you for answered prayer.

Abba Father I do not know what today may bring but I pray that it will bring love, peace, joy, kindness, protection, abundance, prosperity and blessings to bless others.

Abba Father, I SURRENDER ALL to you. ELOHIM, I release all my cares and worries to you. I place them at your divine feet, knowing that the battles of life’s journey belongs to you.

Thank you Lord for who you are. You are our protector, refuge, light, guide, healer, defender. You are faithful, merciful and kind. You are the one who sustains us, fight for us, gives us beauty for ashes. You are the balm to my aching wounds. You are our ultimate redeemer. You are the one who exchange our mourning with your oil of joy to make beauty of our life from the fire and ashes we have endured.

I pray that you lead and guide me in all that I do this day. Please help me not to do anything that is not of you. Help me to treat others right and praise you in all circumstances. In Jesus name I pray amen.

As always thank you for reading. Feel free to like, share, leave your thought or reblog.

Be Not Conformed, But Transformed

God specifically calls us to abstain from the activities of the world and remain pure. If we invest much of our time in the Word of God by reading it, studying it, talking and thinking about it, our thinking will change. Our old selfish and worldly thought processes will be replaced by new ones that are conformed to the mind of Christ Himself.

We need to listen to the instructions given to us by God and not wind up conforming to the world, but transforming the world to the word. We are people of God therefore, our character and behaviour MUST exemplify who we belong to and not who we are surrounded by. Now is the time for Christians to dare to be different. We must stand firm and hold true to the word of God.

It is my prayer that we will not conform to the world’s cultures but instead be transformed by what we know to be truth. Lord, we cannot do this in our power but through your Holy Spirit. Help us Lord.

Safe In The Arms of Jesus

May the truth of the fact that you are safe in the arms of Jesus give you strength, peace and courage to face every challenge, knowing that your life can be a testimony of his peace to those who do not yet know Him as Lord and Saviour.

May the love and peace of Jesus Christ be with all who read this and may the blessings of the Lord fall afresh on you all!!!

Order My Steps Lord

Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

The Lord will order our steps when we listen for his still, small voice and follow his instructions.

Lord please help us trust your leading. Order our steps as we go forward today. I praise and thank you for leading and guiding us. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer in Jesus name I pray amen.

Today’s Prayer # 63

Dear Heavenly Father I thank you for this new day. I humbly ask that you grant me a willing and obedient heart to follow wherever you lead me and trust you with the outcomes. God help me to trust you wholeheartedly, knowing you are directing my steps. Even if things do not go perfectly today, help me believe all things are going to work out for my good. 

Father help each of us to realize that unless we understand that our ultimate control lies in giving our control to you, we suffer with worries, anxieties and depression. Our help comes only from you. No matter who we are, what kind of person we are, when we cry out to you Daddy, you are ready to fill us with your joy and comfort. Your love is more and beyond our comprehension, unfathomable. We can rest in your love forever. I thank you Lord that you hear my humble cry. Amen.

I pray that you will give me the strength to withstand the challenges. And grant me grace to rely only on you. Lord, help me to stay in a humble state of mind and keep me in your will.

Special Anniversary 🙌🏼💃🏽

I did it! I got baptized, I took the plunge, I got immersed!!

Praise God today 15th June mark another milestone with the 33rd anniversary of my Baptism.

I must say it was a wonderful experience for me. I was nervous, but also excited at the same time.

I never expected to feel such a nervous shake in my legs as I stood at the altar in front of so many people. I was so thankful that my family was there to support me, I did not plan to be baptized, but I accepted the invitation that was extended to me that night.

I remember that night vividly. What a night that was. Heart-leaping, spirit-soaring, joyful jubilation! That was exactly the way I felt that night! I had never felt so utterly thrilled about anything before.

I AM A PENCIL

I am a pencil. It’s what’s inside that transforms ideas into realities. I am full of energy, able to deal with any subject, flexible and creative. I have the ability to erase the past, live the present and write my future.

Do Not Love The World

1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

We are naturally drawn to the things that do not last! It is significant that the Bible directs its commandments to our hearts or affections. The greatest commandment is, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matt. 22:37).

I am humbled and honored that you have decided to visit my blog! The launch of this blog comes from the desire of wanting to share the word of God with the world. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you. Have a blissful day. Much love and blessings to you all.

Starting My Day

Do Not Live In Fear

Do Not Live In Fear

My brothers and sisters, please lend me a listening ear
The uncertainty of life can cause many to fear,
To doubt, lose sight, or even shed a tear.
There is only one way to overcome fear
Trust in God, it’s simply that clear.
God is near and holds us dear
Faith in God is the Christian’s daily wear
Let’s stand firm and do not cower in fear
It’s time to look up, the coming of the Lord is near
Life is ephemeral, let’s not waste it living in fear.

To you reading this, thank you so much for being here. You are special to me and I appreciate you always registering your presence here. May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen you.
