Prayer Focus

 Prayer Focus for the Week of 7-7-13



My soul waits only upon You, my God, and I obey Your voice, for my hope and expectation are from You.  You alone are my rock and my salvation.  You are my defense and I shall not be moved.  In You are my salvation and my glory.  The rock of my strength and my refuge are in You.  At all times, I will trust in You, and pour out my heart before You.  You are my protector.
When I call out to You God, You answer me and tell me marvelous and wondrous things that I could never figure out on my own.  As I meditate on and speak Your Word day and night, I sow Your Word on good ground and I believe it will produce fruit in my life and in the lives of others.  By obeying and acting on Your Word, Father, my way will become prosperous and I will have good success.  Halleluiah!   
Lord God, please forgive me of any corrupt communication that has proceeded out of my mouth.  I reject and repent of any word that I have spoken against You, or Your operation.  I dedicate my mouth to speak excellent and right things.  I shall only speak what is good and true, so that I can help others and minister grace to those who hear me.  Thank You, Father.  In Jesus name, I pray, amen.  




“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.  He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.  In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.  Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.”  (Psalm 62:5-8 KJV)

“This is GOD’s Message, the God who made earth, made it livable and lasting, known everywhere as GOD: ‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.”  (Jeremiah 33:3 MSG)

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”  (Joshua 1:8 KJV)

“And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.”   (Mark 4:20 KJV)

“Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.  For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.  (Proverbs 8:6-7KJV)

“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”  (Ephesians 4:29 KJV)

As a young adult pastor....


For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19 KJV)
God has been revealing more and more to me as my relationship with Him grows and prospers. This is not unusual seeing as we should be moving from faith to faith

. As a young adult pastor it’s important that I move from faith to faith and glory to glory. I need to prosper in my releationship with God so I have something to give out to others. The lost and dying depend on us to take our relationship with God seriously and to make His name known to them.

Each and everyone of us are called out and set aside to do something for the kingdom of God. You have a purpose, no matter who you are, God wants to use you! I used to ask myself “Is what I’m doing really helping anyone?” “Am I really accomplishing anything for the kingdom?” I can say with assurance now YES! No matter what lies satan tries telling me I can always be assured I’m manifesting God in what I do.

How can I be sure of this? Simple, being successful in kingdom work is not based on what you do. It’s based on your willingness to listen and obey the Holy Spirit. it’s not based on works it’s based on obedience. So no matter what God has called you to don’t lightly esteem it, or think its not important! Don’t compare it to what other people are doing. But instead measure your success on if you are listening and being obedient.
