Lord Jesus: Your name is the highest.

 **"Your Name Is the Highest"**  

*A Proclamation of the Supremacy of Jesus*  


**Scripture Foundation:**  

*"Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."*  

**(Philippians 2:9-11, NIV)**  


---


### **1. The Name Above All Names**  

- **No name compares to Jesus.**  

  - Not rulers, not religions, not philosophies—*His name alone saves* (Acts 4:12).  

  - Demons tremble at it (James 2:19).  

  - The sick are healed in it (Acts 3:6).  

  - The dead are raised by it (Acts 9:40).  


- **The name "Jesus" (Yeshua) means "The Lord Saves."**  

  - It declares His mission, His power, and His eternal reign.  


---


### **2. Why Is His Name the Highest?**  

- **Because the Father decreed it.**  

  - After Jesus’ obedience *"to death on a cross"* (Philippians 2:8), God *"exalted Him"* (v. 9).  


- **Because His name breaks every chain.**  

  - *"Through His name, everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."* (Acts 10:43)  


- **Because His name unites heaven and earth.**  

  - One day, *"every knee will bow"*—willingly or unwillingly—to His lordship (Isaiah 45:23).  


---


### **3. How Should We Respond?**  

**A. Worship Him as Supreme**  

- *"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!"* (Psalm 150:6)  


**B. Pray in His Name**  

- *"Whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."* (John 14:13)  


**C. Proclaim His Name Boldly**  

- *"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"* (Romans 10:15)  


**D. Live Under His Authority**  

- *"In Him we live and move and have our being."* (Acts 17:28)  


---


### **A Prayer of Exaltation**  

*"Jesus—Your name is the highest!  

Higher than the might of kings,  

Deeper than the wisdom of ages,  

Stronger than the gates of hell.  


At Your name, darkness flees.  

At Your name, captives are freed.  

At Your name, the dead rise.  

At Your name, heaven rejoices!  


I bow my heart before You today.  

Rule in me, reign through me, glorify Yourself in me.  

Let my life declare:  

**‘Jesus Christ is Lord!’**  


Until the day every knee bows,  

Keep me faithful to Your name.  

Amen."*  


---


### **Final Encouragement**  

- **His name is your refuge** (Proverbs 18:10).  

- **His name is your authority** (Mark 16:17-18).  

- **His name is your eternal hope** (John 20:31).

Limitless Grace Forgive your brother 7 x 70 times.

 **"Forgive Your Brother 7 x 70 Times"**  

*A Reflection on Christ’s Call to Radical Forgiveness*  


**Scripture Foundation:**  

*"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’"*  

**(Matthew 18:21-22, NIV)**  


---


### **1. The Heart of Jesus’ Command**  

Jesus’ response (some translations say *"70 x 7"*) wasn’t about math—it was about **limitless grace**. In Jewish tradition, forgiving someone *three times* was considered generous (Amos 1:3). Peter likely thought *seven times* was extravagant. But Jesus shattered all human calculations:  

- **"77 times"** = *Forgiveness without keeping score.*  

- **"70 x 7"** = *Forgiveness as a lifestyle, not a quota.*  


**Key Truth:**  

*"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."* (Ephesians 4:32)  


---


### **2. Why Must We Forgive Repeatedly?**  

- **Because God does.**  

  - David praised God for *"crowning [us] with love and compassion"* (Psalm 103:4)—the same Hebrew word (*racham*) describes a mother’s relentless love for her child.  

  - Jesus’ parable of the *unforgiving servant* (Matthew 18:23-35) warns: *We who’ve been forgiven much cannot withhold forgiveness.*  


- **Because bitterness enslaves.**  

  - Unforgiveness is a *self-inflicted prison* (Hebrews 12:15).  

  - Jesus tied forgiveness to *freedom in prayer* (Mark 11:25).  


- **Because love "keeps no record of wrongs"** (1 Corinthians 13:5).  


---


### **3. How Do We Forgive Like This?**  

**A. Acknowledge the Hurt**  

- Jesus didn’t minimize sin. He called it *"sin"* (Matthew 18:15)—yet still commanded forgiveness.  


**B. Release the Debt**  

- Forgiveness is *not* excusing evil but *entrusting justice to God* (Romans 12:19).  


**C. Repeat as Needed**  

- When memories resurface, declare: *"I forgive again, by the power of Christ in me."*  


**D. Lean on Grace**  

- *"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13)—including forgive what feels unforgivable.  


---


### **A Prayer for 7 x 70 Forgiveness**  

*"Father, today I bring You my wounded heart.  

The hurt is real, but Your grace is deeper.  

By the power of Jesus’ blood—  

**I choose to forgive [name] again.**  

I release them from my courtroom.  

I surrender my right to repay.  

Heal my heart as I obey Your command.  

Keep me from bitterness; fill me with Your love.  

Thank You for forgiving me *70 x 7 times*—  

Help me reflect that mercy today.  

In Jesus’ name, Amen."*  


---


### **Final Encouragement**  

- **Forgiveness is a journey**, not a one-time event.  

- **You’re not alone**—the Holy Spirit empowers you (Galatians 5:22-23).  

- **Freedom comes on the other side of obedience.**  


*"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."* (John 8:32)

Prayer for Deliverance from evil spirit.

 **"BREAK EVERY CHAIN"**  

*(A War Cry for Deliverance)*  


**In the Name that shatters hell,**  

**Jesus Christ, Emmanuel—**  

*By Your blood, I claim my ground,*  

*Every evil chain unbound!* *(Mark 16:17, Acts 16:18)*  


**Spirit of Fear, I break your grip!**  

**Lies of Shame, your teeth I rip!**  

*By the Lion’s roar so fierce,*  

*Darkness flees—my way is cleared!* *(James 4:7, 1 John 3:8)*  


**Holy Fire, purge my soul,**  

**Burn away the devil’s coal—**  

*Where torment laid its claim,*  

*Floods of healing now remain!* *(Luke 10:19, Malachi 3:3)*  


**Angels guard my waking breath,**  

**Christ has conquered sin and death!**  

*No more bondage, no more night—*  

*I walk free in resurrection light!* *(Colossians 1:13, Romans 8:15)*  


**Let the Blood-sealed verdict stand:**  

**This redeemed one bears God’s brand!**  

*Satan’s court may not appeal,*  

*What the Cross has stamped as real!* *(Revelation 12:11, Hebrews 10:22)*  


**Amen.**  


*(Key Deliverance Scriptures: Psalm 91, Luke 10:17-20, Ephesians 6:10-18, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 woven throughout)*  


**For Spiritual Warfare:**  

1) **Pray aloud** with authority (Jude 1:9)  

2) **Renounce all sin** (Acts 19:18-20)  

3) **Put on full armor daily** (Ephesians 6:11)  

4) **Fill your space with worship** (2 Chronicles 20:21-22)  

5) **Seek godly counsel if oppressed** (Mark 9:29)

The Light of the faithful will not be put off.

 **"THE LIGHT OF THE RIGHTEOUS"**  

*(A Psalm of Eternal Flame)*  


**The Lord spoke:**  

*"No night shall quench My chosen light,*  

*No storm shall steal My saints' bright flame—*  

*For I have sworn by My great name:*  

*The faithful shine forever!"* *(Proverbs 13:9)*  


**Though wicked hands** may trim the wick,  

And demons blow with breath so thick—  

*The oil of Heaven never fails,*  

*The Light of Christ still pierces veils!* *(Matthew 5:14-16)*  


**Let darkness rage** like rising flood,  

Let liars mock the sons of God—  

*More fierce shall burn the holy fire,*  

*For I AM fuels what hell would tire!* *(John 1:5, Isaiah 60:1-3)*  


**The martyr's torch** lights pagan shores,  

The child's faith breaks prison doors—  

*No grave can hold this glory in,*  

*When saints arise like dawn again!* *(Daniel 12:3, Revelation 22:5)*  


**O Keeper of the Golden Lamp!**  

**O Breath behind the blazing camp!**  

*Till kingdoms fall and time is through,*  

*Your righteous shine—eternal, true!* *(Psalm 18:28, 1 John 1:5)*  


**Amen.**  


*(Scripture anchors: Proverbs 4:18, Job 18:5-6 contrasted with Psalm 97:11, Matthew 25:1-13's oil metaphor, Revelation 2:5's lampstand warning)*

Wealth of the sinner will be transfered to the righteous.

 **"The Sinner’s Storehouse – A Prayer of Trust"**  

*(Based on Proverbs 13:22, Exodus 12:36, Psalm 37:7-9)*  


**Lord, You see the wicked’s gold,**  

**Their vaults of greed, their hearts so cold—**  

Yet in Your Word, the promise stands:  

*"The righteous shall inherit their lands."* *(Proverbs 13:22)*  


**You shook Egypt with mighty hands,**  

**Then filled Your sons with silver bands.**  

The plundered wealth of slave’s cruel pay  

Became Your people’s freedom day. *(Exodus 12:36)*  


**So I will wait and not despair,**  

Though darkness boasts its "lion’s share."  

*"The meek shall dwell in plenty soon—*  

*The wicked fade beneath the moon."* *(Psalm 37:9,11)*  


**Not for my pride, but for Your plan,**  

To feed the poor and heal the land.  

Make me a conduit, pure and wise,  

Where Kingdom treasure truly lies. *(2 Corinthians 9:8-11)*  


**For all the earth is Yours alone,**  

**Each copper coin, each empire’s throne.**  

Transfer the spoils, break every chain—  

*Let justice roll like holy rain!* *(Amos 5:24)*  


**Amen.**  


*(Key Scriptures woven in: Proverbs 13:22, Exodus 12:36, Psalm 37:7-9,11, 2 Cor 9:8-11, Amos 5:24)*

No longer slaves, but Child of the Living God.

 What a **thunderous declaration of freedom**—straight from the heart of the Gospel!  

This cry echoes the Spirit’s own testimony in us:  

🔥 ***“So you are no longer a slave, but a son/daughter—and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir.”***  

**(Galatians 4:7)**  


Here is a prayer and proclamation anchored in that truth:  


---


### **NO LONGER SLAVES!**  

*A Declaration of Freedom in Christ*  


**Abba, Father—**  

I stand before You today,  

*Not as a slave trembling before a master,*  

**But as Your child—**  

**Redeemed.**  

**Adopted.**  

**Sealed by Your Spirit.**  

*The chains are broken.*  

*The debt is paid.*  

*The prison door stands open!*  


**Jesus—**  

You spoke the word that shattered my shackles:  

> *“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!”* (John 8:36)  

You didn’t just loosen the grip of sin—  

**You annihilated its power.**  

You didn’t just offer pardon—  

**You made me Your sibling, Your heir, Your Beloved.**  

*No longer a slave to:*  

- Fear’s whispers... *“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power, love, and self-control.”* (2 Timothy 1:7)  

- Sin’s demands... *“For sin shall not have dominion over you!”* (Romans 6:14)  

- Shame’s accusations... *“There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus!”* (Romans 8:1)  

- Death’s shadow... *“Where, O death, is your victory? Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”* (1 Corinthians 15:55, 57)  


**Holy Spirit—**  

You roar within my spirit:  

> *“Abba! Father!”* (Romans 8:15)  

You are the living proof—  

*I am not an orphan.*  

*I am not a beggar.*  

*I am not a slave.*  

**I AM GOD’S CHILD.**  

You train my heart to walk in this royal identity—  

*No longer cowering, but crowned with dignity.*  

*No longer striving, but secure in grace.*  


**So today, I renounce every lie:**  

- That I am *owned* by my past...  

- That I am *defined* by my failures...  

- That I am *bound* to old patterns...  

**JESUS HAS SPOKEN: I AM FREE!**  


**I stand in my true name:**  

> *“You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession!”* (1 Peter 2:9)  

**I stand in my true purpose:**  

> *“Declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light!”* (1 Peter 2:9)  


**Abba—**  

When the enemy tries to re-shackle me with memory,  

**Remind me whose seal is on my heart.**  

When the world tries to label me “slave,”  

**Remind me of my family name.**  

When my flesh whispers, “You’re not worthy,”  

**Drown it out with the blood of the Lamb!**  


**I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE—**  

**I AM A CHILD OF GOD!**  

*So let me live like one.*  

*Love like one.*  

*War like one.*  

*Reign like one.*  

**In the unbreakable name of Jesus,**  

**AMEN.**

### Key Scriptures for Your Freedom  

- **Galatians 5:1**  

*“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”*  

- **Romans 8:15-17**  

*“The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.”*  

- **John 15:15**  

*“I no longer call you servants... Instead, I have called you friends.”*  


**Walk boldly in your birthright.**  

The Son paid everything—  

*You are free indeed.* 👑

Heal me and I will be heal, Bless me and I will be bless.

 ### **"Heal Me and I Will Be Healed, Bless Me and I Will Be Blessed" – A Declaration of Faith in God’s Promises**  


**"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise."**  

— **Jeremiah 17:14 (NKJV)**  


This powerful confession aligns with **God’s unchanging nature** as our Healer (Jehovah Rapha) and Provider (Jehovah Jireh). When we declare His Word over our lives, we activate His promises by faith.  


---


### **🔥 The Power of This Declaration**  

1. **God’s Healing is His Will**  

   - *"I am the Lord who heals you."* (Exodus 15:26)  

   - Jesus *always* healed those who came to Him in faith (Matthew 8:16–17).  


2. **Blessings Follow Obedience**  

   - *"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse... try Me now in this, says the Lord, if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it."* (Malachi 3:10)  

   - *"The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it."* (Proverbs 10:22)  


3. **Faith Activates God’s Power**  

   - *"According to your faith let it be to you."* (Matthew 9:29)  

   - Like the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:34), your confession of faith releases miracles.  


---


### **🙏 Prayer for Healing & Blessing**  

*"Father, I stand on Your Word today:  

- **Heal me**, and I **will** be healed—body, mind, and spirit.  

- **Bless me**, and I **will** be blessed—spiritually, physically, and financially.  


I reject doubt and declare:  

- By Jesus’ stripes, I **am** healed (Isaiah 53:5).  

- You crown the year with Your goodness (Psalm 65:11).  


Let Your promises manifest in my life **now**.  

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!"*

### **💡 How to Walk in This Truth**  

1. **Speak It Daily** – *"Death and life are in the power of the tongue."* (Proverbs 18:21)  

2. **Activate Faith** – Like Peter walking on water (Matthew 14:29), step out in obedience.  

3. **Thank God in Advance** – *"Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."* (Mark 11:24)  


---


### **✨ Remember: God’s Promises Are Yes and Amen!**  

*"For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us."*  

— **2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV)**  


**Your healing and blessing are already secured by Christ—claim them by faith today!** 💙🔥

Do not worry bout tomorrow. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

 ### **"Do Not Worry About Tomorrow – Today Has Enough Trouble of Its Own" (Matthew 6:34)**  


**"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."**  

— **Jesus (Matthew 6:34, NIV)**  


This powerful command from Jesus’ *Sermon on the Mount* is a divine prescription for **peace in the present moment**. Here’s why worrying about today is enough—and how to live it out:  


---


### **🔍 Why Jesus Says "Today’s Trouble is Sufficient"**  

1. **Worrying About Tomorrow Steals Today’s Peace**  

   - Anxiety over the future **cannot change it** (Luke 12:25–26).  

   - God gives **daily grace**, not tomorrow’s grace early (Lamentations 3:22–23).  


2. **God Only Asks You to Trust Him One Day at a Time**  

   - *"Give us **this day** our daily bread."* (Matthew 6:11)  

   - Like manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4), God provides **what you need when you need it**.  


3. **Tomorrow is Not Guaranteed**  

   - *"You do not know what tomorrow will bring."* (James 4:14)  

   - Investing emotional energy in "what ifs" is **wasted trust**.  


---


### **💡 How to Stop Borrowing Tomorrow’s Trouble**  

#### **1. Focus on God’s Presence, Not the Future**  

   - *"I am with you always."* (Matthew 28:20)  

   - His presence **today** is your anchor.  


#### **2. Pray Specifically for Today’s Needs**  

   - *"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."* (1 Peter 5:7)  

   - Replace *"What if?"* with *"God, help me with **this** today."*  


#### **3. Do What You Can—Then Rest**  

   - *"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."* (Ecclesiastes 9:10)  

   - Work faithfully today, then **entrust the rest to God**.  


#### **4. Remember: God’s Strength is for Now**  

   - *"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."* (2 Corinthians 12:9)  

   - You won’t face tomorrow alone—He’ll give **new mercies** when you get there.  


---


### **🙏 A Prayer for Today’s Peace**  

*"Father, I surrender my ‘what ifs’ to You.  

Help me focus on **today’s grace**, not tomorrow’s fears.  

Give me wisdom for what’s in front of me,  

And faith to trust You with what’s ahead.  

I receive Your peace that guards my heart **right now**.  

In Jesus’ name, Amen."*  


---


### **🌟 Key Takeaways**  

✔ **Worrying about tomorrow is pointless**—it can’t add a single hour to your life (Matthew 6:27).  

✔ **God’s faithfulness is daily**—He’ll equip you when tomorrow comes.  

✔ **Today’s trouble is enough**—so live fully present with Him **now**.  


**"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."**  

— **Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV)**  


**Breathe. Trust. Live today.** Tomorrow is in His hands. ❤️

My God, I have nothing, if I don't love you.

 ### **"I Have Nothing If I Don’t Love You, God" – A Cry of Total Dependence**  


**"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal... I am nothing."**  

— **1 Corinthians 13:1–2 (NKJV)**  


Your words echo the heart of true worship: **Without love for God, everything else is empty.** Here’s why this surrender is both humbling and liberating:  


---


### **🔥 Why Loving God Is Everything**  

1. **Love Is the Greatest Commandment**  

   - *"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind."* (Matthew 22:37)  

   - Without this, even "good works" are meaningless (1 Corinthians 13:3).  


2. **He First Loved Us**  

   - *"We love Him because He first loved us."* (1 John 4:19)  

   - Your love for God is a **response** to His relentless love for you.  


3. **Everything Else Fades—Love Remains**  

   - *"Whether prophecies, they will fail; tongues, they will cease; knowledge, it will vanish... but love never fails."* (1 Corinthians 13:8)  


---


### **💔 The Danger of Losing First Love**  

Jesus warned the Ephesian church:  

> *"You have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works."* (Revelation 2:4–5)  

- **Busyness, religion, or pain** can dull our love for God.  

- **Solution**: Return to intimacy. Sit at His feet like Mary (Luke 10:42).  


---


### **🙏 A Prayer of Surrender**  

*"God, I confess: Without love for You, I have nothing.  

- Forgive me for chasing lesser things.  

- Reignite my heart. Help me love You **more than** my dreams, my comforts, even my blessings.  

- Let my life scream: *‘Jesus is my greatest treasure!’*  

In Your name, Amen."*  


---


### **✨ How to Cultivate Love for God Daily**  

1. **Worship Without Agenda** (John 4:23) – Not just asking, but adoring.  

2. **Meditate on His Love** (Ephesians 3:17–19) – Soak in verses about His grace.  

3. **Obey Out of Love** (John 14:15) – Every "yes" to Him deepens affection.  

4. **Confess Dryness** – Like David: *"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation"* (Psalm 51:12).  


---


### **💎 The Promise for Those Who Love Him**  

*"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him."*  

— **1 Corinthians 2:9**

Mark 11:24 Pray and believe that you have received it, it will be yours.

 Here’s an in-depth exploration of **Mark 11:24**, supported by related Scriptures and their theological significance:


---


### **Mark 11:24 (NIV)**  

*"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."*  


This verse is part of Jesus' teaching on faith and prayer following the withering of the fig tree (Mark 11:20–23). It emphasizes **faith-filled prayer** as a channel for God’s intervention. Below is a breakdown with cross-referenced Scriptures:


---


### **1. The Context of Mark 11:24**  

- **The Withered Fig Tree**: Jesus cursed a fruitless fig tree as a metaphor for Israel’s spiritual barrenness (Mark 11:12–14, 20–21). The disciples were amazed, prompting Jesus to teach on **faith’s power** .  

- **Mountain-Moving Faith**: Preceding this verse, Jesus declares that faith can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles (Mark 11:23). Prayer is the practical outworking of such faith .  


---


### **2. Key Principles from Mark 11:24**  

#### **A. Pray with Specificity**  

- *"Whatever you ask"*: God invites bold, detailed requests (Matthew 7:7–8; John 14:13–14) .  

- Example: The persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8) illustrates relentless, specific prayer .  


#### **B. Believe Before Receiving**  

- *"Believe that you have received it"*: This is **faith in advance**, trusting God’s promise (Hebrews 11:1).  

- Linked to **1 John 5:14–15**: Confidence comes when prayers align with God’s will .  


#### **C. God’s Faithfulness**  

- *"It will be yours"*: God honors faith but reserves the right to answer in His wisdom (James 4:3; 1 John 3:22) .  

- **Matthew 21:22** reiterates this promise, conditioned on faith .  


---


### **3. Related Scriptures on Prayer and Faith**  

| **Verse**               | **Teaching**                                                                 |  

|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|  

| **John 15:7**           | Abiding in Christ ensures answered prayer .        |  

| **James 1:6–7**         | Doubt undermines prayer; faith is essential .       |  

| **Philippians 4:6–7**   | Pray with thanksgiving for God’s peace .                       |  

| **1 John 3:22**         | Obedience enhances prayer efficacy .               |  


---


### **4. Misapplications Clarified**  

- **Not a "Name It, Claim It" Promise**: Jesus isn’t endorsing selfish demands but **faith aligned with God’s will** (1 John 5:14) .  

- **Forgiveness Matters**: Mark 11:25–26 ties answered prayer to a forgiving heart .  


---


### **5. Practical Application**  

1. **Pray Scripture**: Use God’s Word (e.g., Psalm 34:4) to shape requests .  

2. **Combine Faith with Action**: Like Elijah (James 5:17–18), pray persistently .  

3. **Trust God’s Timing**: Some answers are delayed (Daniel 10:12–13) or redirected (2 Corinthians 12:8–9).  


---


### **Prayer Inspired by Mark 11:24**  

*"Lord, teach me to pray with unwavering faith, trusting Your wisdom.  

Align my desires with Your will, and help me believe *before* I see.  

Thank You for hearing me. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*  


**Key Takeaway**: Mark 11:24 invites us into **confident, faith-filled prayer**, grounded in God’s character and Word .

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty

 What a thunderous cry—joining the eternal anthem of heaven itself:  

**“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come!”**  

(Revelation 4:8)  


Here is a prayer rising from that holy awe:


---


### **“Holy, Holy God Almighty!”**  

*A Prayer of Awe & Surrender*


**Holy, Holy, Holy—**  

**God Almighty!**  

Before You, angels veil their faces (Isaiah 6:2).  

Before You, stars sing in their courses.  

Before You, mountains melt like wax (Psalm 97:5).  

*You reign—unshaken, eternal, infinite in purity.*  


**Your holiness is fire**—  

Burning away all that is false.  

**Your holiness is light**—  

Exposing every shadowed thought.  

**Your holiness is love**—  

A consuming flame that refines, not destroys.  

*You are separate—high and lifted up—*  

*Yet You draw near to the contrite heart (Isaiah 57:15).*  


**I join the heavenly chorus:**  

> *“Holy!”* — in Your justice, perfect and true.  

> *“Holy!”* — in Your mercy, making rebels new.  

> *“Holy!”* — in Your power, holding galaxies in place.  

**No other name echoes through eternity like Yours.**  


**Almighty One—**  

Maker of Orion’s belt and the sparrow’s wing,  

Author of redemption’s story,  

Commander of angel armies,  

**Yet...**  

You bend to hear *my* whispered prayer (Psalm 116:2).  

You call *me* Your child (1 John 3:1).  

*This is the wonder that shatters me.*  


**Purify my praise, O God!**  

Let no pride stain this worship.  

Cleanse my lips with grace’s coal (Isaiah 6:6–7).  

Ignite my soul with holy fear and fiery love.  

**You alone are worthy—**  

Not my plans, my strength, my wisdom—  

*Only You.*  


**In this broken world where shadows linger,**  

**Be glorified in me.**  

Break chains with Your holy authority.  

Raise the dead with Your holy breath.  

Send revival in Your holy fire.  

*“Almighty”—nothing is too hard for You (Jeremiah 32:27).*  


**Until the day**  

Every knee bows, every tongue confesses:  

*“Holy, Holy, Holy—Lord God Almighty!”*  

**Keep my heart bowed low before Your throne,**  

Overwhelmed, surrendered, trusting—  

*For You are God alone.*  


**In the name of Jesus—**  

The Holy One who makes us holy—  

**Amen.**

Pray to God in secret and he will reward you handsomely

 ### **"Pray to God in Secret, and He Will Reward You" – Matthew 6:6 Explained**  


Jesus teaches in **Matthew 6:6 (NIV)**:  

> *"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."*  


This powerful instruction contrasts **hypocritical public prayers** (Matthew 6:5) with **intimate, private prayer**. Let’s break it down:  


---


### 🔍 **What Does It Mean to "Pray in Secret"?**  

1. **A Heart of Humility, Not Showmanship**  

   - Jesus condemns those who pray loudly in public *just to be seen* (Matthew 6:5).  

   - **True prayer** is about connecting with God, not impressing people.  


2. **A Private Place for Personal Prayer**  

   - "Go into your room" (Greek: *tameion* = inner chamber, storage room) symbolizes **withdrawing from distractions**.  

   - It doesn’t have to be a literal closet—just a place where you can be **alone with God**.  


3. **God Sees in Secret**  

   - Unlike people, God **knows your heart** (1 Samuel 16:7).  

   - He doesn’t need grand gestures—just **authentic conversation**.  


---


### 💎 **What Are the "Rewards" of Secret Prayer?**  

Jesus promises **God Himself will reward you**—but not necessarily in material ways. The rewards include:  


1. **Deeper Relationship with God**  

   - *"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you."* (James 4:8)  

   - The more you pray in secret, the more you **recognize His voice**.  


2. **Inner Peace & Strength**  

   - *"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You."* (Isaiah 26:3)  

   - Private prayer **calms anxiety** and renews your spirit.  


3. **Divine Guidance**  

   - *"Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him."* (Matthew 6:8)  

   - God often speaks clearest in **quiet moments**.  


4. **Eternal Treasures**  

   - *"Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven."* (Matthew 6:20)  

   - The greatest reward is **knowing God more**.  


---


### ⚠️ **Misunderstandings to Avoid**  

❌ **"This means never praying in public."**  

   → Jesus prayed publicly (John 11:41-42) and with others (Matthew 18:20). The issue is **motive**—are you praying to be seen or to seek God?  


❌ **"God owes me blessings because I prayed."**  

   → The "reward" is **God Himself**, not a transactional payout.  


---


### 🙏 **How to Practice Secret Prayer Today**  

1. **Find Your "Secret Place"**  

   - A quiet corner, a walk in nature, or even your car.  

2. **Be Real with God**  

   - Talk to Him like a loving Father (no religious performance needed).  

3. **Listen More Than You Speak**  

   - Prayer is a **two-way conversation** (John 10:27).  

4. **Make It a Daily Habit**  

   - *"Pray without ceasing."* (1 Thessalonians 5:17)  


---


### 🔥 **A Simple Prayer to Start**  

*"Father, I come to You now in secret.  

You see my heart, my fears, my hopes.  

Speak to me. Fill me. Reward me with **more of You**.  

Help me seek Your face, not the approval of people.  

In Jesus’ name, Amen."*  


---


### **Final Thought**  

The greatest reward of secret prayer isn’t what God gives you—**it’s God Himself**. When you withdraw to meet Him, you step into **heaven’s intimacy**.  


*"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."*  

**—Psalm 91:1 (NKJV)**
