Prayer International

The temple of His chosing Jesus spent many days teaching in the temple among the people. What is amazing is that this in itself can be seen as a fullfillment of the prophesy in Malachi 3 where it says "and the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple". The temple was where the Holy of Holies stood behind the veil, signifying the way into His presence. The high priest could only venture behind that veil and into the sacred place once a year. Yet Jesus, being fully God in the flesh, "came and dwelt among us" (John 1:4). Jesus who is our eternal High Priest (Hebrews 8:1) not only provided a way into the presence of the Father, but also restored the communion with God that had been lost during the first fall of man in the Garden. Not only did He come to dwell amongst us, He also began building His real temple inside his church who is also His Bride. " in whom you also are being built together for a  dwelling place of God in the Spirit." (Ephesians...

 With some amazing telescopes scientists have estimated there are around 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe. We do not have the technlogy to even send humans outside our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Imagine that for a minute. Out there are an untold number of unique galaxies that were each designed and crafted by the God of heaven and Earth.  The bible says in Colossians 1:17 that " For  by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or  dominions or  principalities or  powers. All things were created  through Him and for Him "  I think we as christians get so caught up in the world that we forgot just exactly who He is. What reason is there to worry or fret when the God of all creation loves us. Romans 8:37 says: " Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.   For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor princi...

  2 Chronicles 7:14-18 states that " if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 17 As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, 18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom,           We find a direct corelation between prayer and humility.  God declares, humble your self in the sight of the Lord and He will exalt you in due season.  If we are to reach the altitude promised to us by the Father,  "seated with Christ in hea...

THERE IS AN IDENTITY CRISIS IN THE WORLD AND IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.  AS A WHOLE, WE DON'T KNOW WHO OUR DADDY IS.  WHO'S YOUR DADDY?, HAS BECOME A POPULAR STATEMENT.  A VERY TRUE ONE INDEED!  Our Father which art in Heaven, Jesus told us to pray Our Father, He did not refer to Him as His Father although He was his Father.  He is OUR Heavenly Father.  There is an identity crisis in our nation and across the world.  We have entered into the fields of the fatherless.   There is a lack of Fatherhood in our nation.  Everywhere across the board for one reason or another, children are being raised without the blessing and wisdom of their father in their lives.  That is not to say for some, the character and behavior of their fathers, is not worth  the wisdom or blessing that they have to impart .  We are in a time where we desperatly need to know our Heavenly Father .   As a people, we need to find, get to know, an...

Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. If you want God's blessings in your life, then do not consent with,or follow the ungodly.  God declares if you meditate on the Word of God and follow and obey His instructions, then you will be prosrerous and have good success.   He tells us to meditate day and night, that means ...

Prayer for the Lost Heavenly Father, I (we) come to You now in the Name of my (our) Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Heavenly Father, I (we) pray for the lost of the world this day and that every man, woman, and child from here to the farthest corners of the earth be saved. As I (we) intercede, I (we) use my (our) faith, believing that thousands this day have the opportunity to make Jesus their Lord. I (we) ask the Lord of the harvest to thrust the perfect laborers across these lives this day to share the good news of the Gospel in a special way so that they will listen and understand it, that it will touch their hearts. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I (we) pray with thanksgiving. Amen.

So it has been almost a month now since we have been able to post or host the radio show on Blog Talk Radio. Chris and his wife Tracey have been in the process of moving to a new house, and my wife and I have been dealing with just random life stuff. It could also be that we have perhaps gotten lazy, or even that we have become so focused on our own lives we have forgotten why we were doing this ministry to begin with. Let me clarify that last statement. Almost a year ago when Chris and myself began the Prayer International ministry, we were not completely sure where God would take it. We both just knew that God was moving. We also both felt a strong need to have a 24 hour prayer site on the web, where people could go and get prayer anytime day or night. So we created a simple website with that purpose in mind. In the beginning we would get a few prayer requests, which Chris would send responses to, and we also had live video feeds available. However, we soon learned that staffing a ...

What is truth? Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". What did He mean by saying such things? One suggestion is that He is the culmination of everything that has a beginning, when He Himself does not. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. (John 1:3). To find out the truth about the reason, purpose, need, and function for any item...you must ask the Creator of that item. Some people wander about seeking out purpose. They search to and fro looking for the satisfaction that only comes from have a reason to exist. Yet few people realize that the answer to that question can not be found anywhere but through and from Him. You see my friends, Jesus is the answer. Jesus is the reason. Jesus is the solution to so many of life's questions. You can read a million books about relationship, and purpose, and destiny. However none of those, while they may be great books, will get you a real revelation about your pur...

Prayer for World Leaders Heavenly Father, I (we) come to You now in the Name of my (our) Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. I (we) pray for our world leaders that Your Spirit rests upon them.

Thank You that Israel will hope in the Lord for with You there is loving kindness, and with You Lord there is abundant redemption, and You will redeem Israel from all his iniquities according to Psalms 130:7-8.

Heavenly Father, thank You that the sorrows for the appointed feasts; You will remove from Israel, they are a burden and a reproach to Israel. Thank You that You will rescue the lame and...

Praying the Apostolic Prayers These portions of the Bible are listed here to help us.  The Holy Spirit inspired Jesus and the apostles to pray these prayers.  Therefore, let's join them and agree with God.  I find that praying the Bible is an excellent addition to my regular spontaneous prayers for my family, friends, the nation and the world. 1.   Prayer for revelation of Jesus' beauty and the Bride's destiny for transforming our heart. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Eph 1:17-19 2. Prayer for the release of supernatural strength in the heart unto experiencing God's emotions . I pray that out of hi...

Sometimes we feel as if our prayers just bounce off the ceiling and are not breaking through. There can be many reasons that cause our prayer life to be stale and ineffective. Below, I have listed few of them. It will be different for everyone, there are no formulas here. Just get before God and allow the Holy Spirit to show you other things that may also be hindering your prayer life. 1. Conscious unconfessed sins (Ps.66:18; Is.59:1-2) "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened..." (Ps.66:18). "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save nor His ear too dull to hear. But* *your iniquities have separated you from your God, your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear" (Is.59:1-2). 2. Idolatry - occult involvement (Ez.14:3) "Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling* *blocks before their faces. Should I let them enquire of Me at all?" 3. Stin...

What is prayer? Prayer is communication between The Heavenly Father and His children.  In one sense, that is all there is to it.  When prayer seems difficult, and we feel unworthy of asking the Almighty Creator God to answer our seemingly mundane requests, we would do well to remember that most Fathers want to talk with their children; and most parents will tell you that communication is very important. With God, however, prayer is not limited by words only but it is a touching of our spirit, with the Holy Spirit of God, that leads us into relationship with the Father.  This means that we don't need to put everything into words, but can simply open our hearts,thoughts, and emotions to our Father God. But how can this be, you might ask?   Why would God allow himself to be pestered by millions of prayer requests from us? The answer is that prayer is a gift.   God has given each and every one of us the opportunity to address Him directly. Moreover,...

John 10:27 says,  " My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" Get to know the voice of God, He talks as often as you need Him.  I cannot explain to you my wife's voice, you would have to get to know her, by spending time with her.  God talks more than anyone you will ever meet.  I cannot explain the voice of my Heavenly Father.  To get to know His voice, you would have to spend time with Him.  Unless you recognize the voice of the Spirit, obedience is impossible.

1 Samuel 15:22 (New Living Translation). 22 But Samuel replied, "What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Obedience is far better than sacrifice. Listening to him is much better than offering the fat of rams        Obedience is the key, we need to worship and experience the love of the Father, and the fellowship of Holy Spirit and although we think worship as being the most important in our devotion to the Lord.  We bring Him the sacrifice of praise and worship to show Him we love Him.  Jesus himself declared in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments".         We need to carry ourselves with an obedient mind set, learn to obey God quickly.  It starts the moment we wake up.  Even the prophet Samuel knew how important obedience was.  From the time he was a young boy he learned "S...

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, behold ing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. This verse seems to have such deep meaning. All throughout the bible it refers to the glory of God. And over and over again it says that Jesus is the glory of the Father. Jesus Himself said that no one has seen the Father at any time. Yet He also said that if we see Him, we are seeing the Father. So what we are beholding is Jesus, Who is a mirror image of the Father whom no one has seen except the Son. And we are being transformed from glory to glory into the image of Jesus. If you read Ezekial 1, Ezekial has a vision of the Lord. Verse 1-28 descibe the unbelievable and magestic appearance of the Lord. Then at the end, in verse 28, he says "...This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord." If you read this chapter and then flip to Revelation 4 you w...

It is not enough to walk this life resting in the mercy of the Father that His grace provides through His precious blood. How can we any longer live in the mercy of such a grace without also standing in the strength that also equally lies within that grace. Or did He not say, "My grace is sufficient and My strength is made perfect in your weakness"? He is calling us to a deeper level of intimacy and fellowship not with this world which is passing away, but with the eternal hosts of the heavens and with Himself. He is calling us deeper and deeper into His arms and into His presence. His holy and majestic and glorious presence in which no flesh can stand and yet not be changed. I like many other I would assume have stood too long in the midst of our excuses for our sin and disobedience, while still pondering why the power of the cross is not more readily apparent in our lives. Though it is true that by grace we are saved through faith, it is also true that He requi...

1 T here is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, [ a ] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. ...
