Expected End

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man
Struggling past and present associations who try to replace the dominate role God and family should have in his life.
One day he yields to the gentle prodding of the Spirit and who, though  late in life, begins to live a fulfilling, abundant, and rewarding life he could never have dreamed of.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman
A woman who was hurt and torn by parents and siblings who seemed to be so needy but beyond her ability to help. But who resolves to raise her children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a young woman
who has witness devastating turmoil in her family. Unfaithfulness, selfishness, bitterness, lack of love. But she looks within finds the God given strength to smile. To excel at school. To pray and meditate upon the word. She has learned that there is one who will never leave her nor forsake her. Who has nothing but thoughts of love and peace towards her and promises her a future and a hope.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman
who is little in her own eyes but who allows the very big God within her to guide here and direct her as she works as a resource and a consolation to people all over the community.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man
who faces a number of mountain high obstacles to enjoying a peaceful, productive, and spiritual life for himself and his children. Though at times the the way seems dim, he does not give up. He trusts in God who is working within and so he keeps fighting, he keeps struggling. As as he does, the light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter and brighter and larger and larger and nearer and nearer.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman
who as struggled with past relationships and been hurt. Though the hurt was in a public fashion, she did not withdraw into the shadows, but launched a church and a ministry which is poised to bless the world.

What is your parable of the Kingdom?

My Prayer for Healing

My Father in heaven. Precious Holy Spirit within, to you belongs all the honor and glory and praise.

• I sanctify my mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.
• I set apart my  mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.
• I reserve for your use and your good pleasure my mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.
• I trust you with my my mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.

My faith is is in you. You have proved yourself faithful. You have been merciful, gracious, generous, loving, caring, nurturing and a patient Father to me. You have been my provider and my source. You have met my needs.
You Abba, know me as intimately as is possible because your Spirit is within me.

• If I had any limitations, you would know.
• If I had any weakness, you would know.
• If I was truly unworthy, you would know.
• If I was defective and unfit,you would know.

Your word Abba tells me That I am precious in your sight. I am accepted in the beloved. My spirit agrees. I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I am a king and a priest. I am a child of God, joint heir with Jesus.

I am righteous. IN Christ, sin has been dealt with. My sins no longer are a barrier to your love and Acceptance in me. Jesus made this possible. Nothing can separate my from your love.

As a citizen of your kingdom, I have nothing to fear. In my Father’s kingdom, there is only one power – any other power exists only in my mind. Demons are powerless against me. I can cast down and cast aside so-called powers and principalities. I have only to submit to God and resist the devil. That being called  Satan, Lucifer, the Serpent will flee if I but resist him.

If God is on my side, what can men, angels, demons, terrorists, liars, gossipers, schemers, racists, sexists, or any thing do to me?

I will use the spiritual weapon you have graciously blessed me with to cast down every argument or imagination or thought which says to me that:

• The Word of My Father is not true.
• That He does not love me
• That I am not His child
• That Jesus death and His life was not sufficient to deliver me out of the kingdom of darkness.
• That God does not hear my prayers.
• That even if God hears my prayers, He will not answer
• That God is not my comfort and consolation
• That God has anything but thoughts of peace towards me: to give me and expected end.
• That my Father cannot and will not supply all my needs according to his riches in glory.

Whenever a thought comes to my mind that I cannot absolutely, positively, completely, without reservation rely up you for my EVERY NEED, I will cast the thought down., trample upon it, cut it into shreds, grind it to powder, burn it and scatter the ashes to the winds.

There is only one King in My Father’s Kingdom.  And to him belongs  glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Abba Father,

I am grateful that you hear me. It is my desire to know you, your way, and your will. I know because your word tells me and Your spirit agrees with my spirit that if I ask according to your will, you hear me and will grant my request. The word of God is complete salvation and peace. My every need is met. I can face the pressures of this day knowing that  You  are with me.

I resolve to renew my mind. I take charge of my body. My appetite submits to my will. My will submits to the Holy Spirit within me. I will live a consistent, disciplined life. Though this body is temporary and I look forward to my perfect, glorified body, I will appreciate and  care for this fearfully and wonderfully designed temple over which you have made me steward.

I resolve to renew my mind to be able to focus my sight upon what is unseen to the physical eye, yet can be felt, examined, and handled with my spiritual senses. I am free from worry and anxiety because I trust my God. The peace of God surrounds and permeates my being. I know I am loved and cared for.

I resolve to renew my mind that I may  be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; of the love of Christ. A love which passes knowledge.  I am filled with all the fullness of my God.   My broken heart is healed. My joy is renewed. I know what true happiness is.

I resolve to renew my mind with the knowledge that You give those You love- and I know you love me — a full and restful night’s sleep. I wake up refreshed and ready for  whatever the new day may bring.

I resolve to renew my mind and  keep under my body, and bring it into subjection. I present my body a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto You. My recreated  spirit longs to do this very thing: for this is the most reasonable, practical, sensible and logical way I can serve you. The Holy Spirit purifies me spirit, soul, and body that I might be a fit and righteous vessel for my Lord.

Thank you Father: For Yours is the kingdom the power and the glory.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

Jesus said, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth,  if someone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Mark 11:22-24 Net Bible

This is what I stand upon. I am not commanding God to heal. And I do not blame myself or God if my healing does not come when, where,  or how I want. My prayer is to align my mind, my will, my spirit with God to such a degree that I, like Paul, can pray to the Father three times in  full faith and confidence, and be at peace when He answers and says to me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” II Corinthians 12:9,10

Or like Job, who said, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.   He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite (or profane, godless person)  shall not come before him.” Job 13:15,16

My goal, through prayer, is to strengthen up the inner man. Ephesians 3:16 says this: “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;”

Who or what is is This inner man? If you are born again, your spirit is reborn. It is new. It is our minds which we have to work upon.  Paul says this, in Romans 12:2;
