October Prayer Inspiration

 [10/2, 11:12 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Night

Praying the Scriptures

Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

2 Corinthians 8:20-21

INSPIRATION

Paul was intent on delivering the offering given by the Gentile churches to the poor Jewish saints in Jerusalem. But he insisted everything involving money be done in a manner above all reproach. He had others travel with him to deliver the gift, even though he was trusted by all.

LET'S PRAY 🙏

Lord, let us act in a way that is honest in not only your sight but also in the sight of men. Let us be sure that our dealings are beyond reproach, particularly all dealings with money. Let everything in our churches be done "decently and in order," and let this be the rule in our personal lives as well.

[10/3, 6:56 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Praying the Scriptures

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13

INSPIRATION

There truly is no greater love than the love expressed for us through Jesus Christ. Though we were sinners, He considered us friends and counted us worth dying for. There is no one else in this entire universe who can reenact this great move of love

LET'S PRAY 🙏

Dear God, I am always in awe when I think of the love that shone through Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died for all mankind so that we could be saved and redeemed from a life of sin. Father, were it not for Your son, I would not be able to commune with You. May I never take this gift for granted, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

[10/4, 7:07 PM] MY TESTIMONY: But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John 2: 27:

INSPIRATION

This anointing is the Holy Spirit, whom we receive upon salvation. The Holy Spirit teaches us about the things of God as we study His word. The Holy Spirit communicates what God desires us to know, when we pray. Once we have received the Holy Spirit, He remains with us, as our assurance of our salvation – never to leave.

LET'S PRAY

Dear God, I thank You for the Holy Spirit, who is also the assurance of my eternal salvation. Lord, I pray that I will always be attentive to His teachings and His guidance because I know He speaks what You speak. May I never try to find counsel in another, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

[10/5, 2:13 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Praying the Scriptures

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

PSALM 107:9

INSPIRATION

God will never leave you wanting and He will never leave you weak. God readily provides us with his goodness; it is never something we have to beg or plead for. He even went a step further to ensure that we are always in His presence, by giving us the Holy Spirit. We truly can never want when it comes to God.

LET'S PRAY

Dear God, I am grateful to have such a loving Father like You, who never leaves my soul hungry or weak. Lord I am also grateful that in times of need, You take care of me. When I desire to know more of You, You share readily. You are so willing to give, Father, and I am grateful. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

[10/5, 8:30 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Praying the Scriptures

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22

INSPIRATION

What did Paul mean that he was "all things to all men?" Not that he would compromise the Gospel message, changing it or "adapting it to different cultures, but that he would change and adapt himself in any way not sinful or deceitful, in order to remove a needless roadblock to men hearing the Gospel.

LET'S PRAY

O Lord, let me be willing to leave my "comfort zone" or to adapt to others and different situations as needed to be an effective witness for you and your truth. Let me not hinder the Gospel by stubbornly holding to human traditions, but let me not change the truth of the message with novelties that depart from the faith once delivered to the saints.

[10/5, 8:31 PM] MY TESTIMONY: O Lord, let me be willing to leave my "comfort zone" or to adapt to others and different situations as needed to be an effective witness for you and your truth.

[10/10, 11:32 PM] MY TESTIMONY: Praying the Scriptures

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Hebrews 11:13

INSPIRATION

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

LET'S PRAY 🙏

O Father, you have chosen us out of the world to yourself, and we are of a Heavenly nation though living on the earth. We are foreigners to those who do not know you, and our ways from you are foreign, strange, and offensive to them. We are also pilgrims, for this world is not our permanent home. Help us to live for you in the midst of a strange and hostile land, always remembering our true country is above.
