Our Father in Heaven Holy and Glorious is your name
Let your Kingdom come to this earth as in Heaven,
Let it be made manifest through a people crying out to you
“YOUR WILL BE DONE in and through me and in this world”
Raise up an army that will march into the gutters of the world
See the needs of the people and change their lives
May we preach the gospel of the Kingdom to the poor
Proclaim liberty to the captives and open the eyes of the Blind
It will storm the world and bring heaven down to Earth
Provide for our needs from the smallest to the greatest
From the physical and emotional to the spiritual
Provide all we need to fulfil the dreams you have given us
To abolish slavery, end abortion, end AIDS end poverty
May you bless us that we might raise the poorest to be princes
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us
Let us pour our lives out in love for our Fathers who rejected and used us
Let our lives be sacrificed in prayer and devotion to you
May we know true love that you have called us to be
That we might be love even to our enemies who hate us and abuse us
Keep us away from temptation and deliver us from the evil one
May we live in this world without compromising our lives
Let sin not even be tempting to us and
let our lives reflect yours in all we do
For yours is the Kingdom the Power and the Glory
May our lives bring you the Glory you deserve
And may we see the world revolutionized
that all men might worship your name in Spirit and Truth

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with their whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 ¶ You have commanded us to keep your precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep your statutes!

I will praise you with uprightness of heart.
8 I will keep your statutes: O do not give up on me.

21 You have rebuked cursed proud men,
who reject Your commandments.

158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved;
because they kept not your word.
159 Consider how I love your teachings: quicken me,
O LORD, according to your loving kindness.
160 Your word is true from the beginning: and every one of your righteous judgments endures for ever.
SCHIN
161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause:
but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162 I rejoice at your word, as one that finds a great treasure.
163 I hate and abhor lying: but I love your law.
164 Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they who love your law:
and nothing shall offend them.
166 LORD, I have hoped for your salvation,
and kept your commandments.
167 My soul has kept your unchanging word;
great is my love for it.
168 I have keep your laws and your testimonies:
for you all my ways.
TAU
169 Let my cry come to you, O LORD:
give me wisdom in keeping with your word.
170 Let my supplication come before you:
deliver me according to your word.
171 My lips will utter praise, when you teach me your ways.
172 My tongue shall speak of your word:
for all your commandments are righteousness.
173 Let your hand help me;
for I have chosen your instructions.
174 I have longed for your salvation, O LORD;
and your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise you;
and let your judgments sustain me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
seek your servant;
for I do not forget your commands.

VISION of the STEEL MILL-by Mitt Jeffords.
"Who shall stand at his appearing?..."
"I found myself in the middle of a steel mill, and all around me were the sights and the sounds of one would expect to see and hear in a steel mill that was in full production. I saw fiery sparks every where I looked, and the sound of "shhhhh"; the sound that hot iron metal is dipped in water to be cooled. The only thing missing was the mill workers; for there was not one man to be found anywhere. I then noticed that not far from me was a molten mass just laying on the floor; and it had no shape or form to it. The outside of this mass appeared burnt black and crackly, appearing just like the lava that I have seen in pictures from the volcanoes in Hawaii.
Though the outside of this mass appeared cool and hard, I could tell that the inside was still molten hot. I was studying this molten mass when all of sudden it started taking on a form; it was a simple upright form that was about 4 feet high and 2 feet across; other than be upright, it had no other characteristics to it. The outside of this mass still appeared as black and crackly as lava. I was amazed because though I saw this mass taking shape before my eyes, I could not visibly see who was doing it. For about 15 minutes I had been trying to figure out what this form was before me when all of sudden, starting at the top, all of the burnt outside pieces began to fall off this figure. It was not until the bottom pieces fell away before I could what this form was. It was the figure of a man who was bent over at the waist, with head straight down towards the floor, his arms were running parallel to his legs, and he appeared to be made out of sterling silver.
I hardly had time to consider what this new form was before I could discern that this figure was about ready for another. I then observed as this figure changed from sterling silver to liquid silver. Once it became liquid, this figure then stood completely upright. After this figure stood upright, it then hardened again; this time the figure appeared as the most clear sparkling crystal that I have ever seen. I do not know how I perceived this, but I knew that this new man was completely filled with all humility and boldness, having all confidence and faith in God. It was then that I woke up from my dream. When I opened my eyes, there standing at the foot of my bed was this very figure of a man that I had seen in my dream. He leaned towards me and said, "I stand corrected"; and then he disappeared.
Immediately the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me that which is written in Malachi, "Who shall continue in the day of his coming? Who may abide in the day of his coming? For he is like a refiners fire and a fuller's soap; and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver so that they may present before the Lord an offering in righteousness". I then shook at the reality of what the Lord has shown me; for many, many are looking for the coming of the Lord, but who is he who has gone through the fire of the Lord's corrections? I then asked the Lord, "Who does this man represent, Lord. Is it me?". And the Lord then answered and said, "The man that you saw in your vision, he is your inner man; your heart, your mind, and your soul. The inner man is he which no man has power to correct or to change of himself. The man who attempts to correct himself, he is the man who does so that he might be found pleasing and acceptable in the sight of men, as well as in his own eyes. He who loves me, he it is who humbles his heart before me, presenting himself before me, asking for me to correct him. I correct all those whom I love because they desire to for me to change them into my own image", says the Lord."When I correct you, I change things in you; for I do that which is impossible for any man to do...." "I have asked you to seek for the truth.
I have asked you to believe and to trust me when I said unto you that you do not yet know the truth. There are many things that you do not yet comprehend because you have not yet asked to understand them. If you ask diligently and if you will focus your eyes on me, and not on your own self, your own emotions, your own reasoning, your own vision, or on your circumstances, then I will show you the truth. If you will seek my goodness, in all that comes upon you, then I will reveal myself unto you. Do not think it strange nor be dismayed at the fiery trials which confront you. Remember, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, for just as I was with them, so also am I always with you. Look for me in the fire, for you are not alone.
Believe on my words, and look for the good that I desire to bring forth in all that you go through. Remember that which is written, "Happy is the man whom the Lord corrects". I AM; I Am a consuming fire. I desire to baptize you with my fire. I am that fire. I am that fire that you must pass through to return to paradise, the kingdom of God. The kingdom which is about to appear on earth. But who shall stand when I appear except those who have been corrected? Are you ready for me?" says the Lord.

experimental prayer meditations
Hey i am hoping to start using this blog to post prayers and meditations maybe liturgies or songs and chants and other stuff like that mostly from the directly from the bible some stuff is interpreted or just prayers from the heart and stuff.
I hope this will be useful to people. make full use of it copy paste,change whatever up to u maybe might help praying scriptures and stuff.
If u want to send in stuff to post just send in and write your name or a nickname something.
This is my first experiment actualy started last week did some of it today. I used mostly NLT, AV and BBE. i removed the doeth and stuff like that from AV.
some of it is also my interpretation or understanding or what really hit me after meditating on it
so yeah this an experiment with these two scriptures
1Jn 4:7-21
Oh Dear friends, Let us love one another
For love comes from God
Anyone who loves is born of God
Anyone who loves knows God
But anyone who does not love,
Does not love does not know God
For God is love
God showed how much He loved us
By sending his only son into the world
That we might have eternal life through Him
THIS is real love not that we loved God
But that He loved us and sent His Son
As a sacrifice to take away our sins
Oh, Dear friends, since God Loved us that much
Shouldn’t we also love one another
No man has ever seen God, but if we love one another
God DWELLS in us and his love is perfected in us
The Holy Spirit was given to us
As proof of His indwelling in us
And we have seen and testify that
The Father sent his son to be
The Saviour of the world
All who proclaim that Jesus is the Son of God
Have God dwelling in them and they dwell in God
We have known and believed the love that God has for us.
God is love and He that dwells in Love dwells in God and God in Him
Our love is made perfect
That we might have boldness in the day of Judgement
And as He is Love so are we Love in this world
There is no fear in Love
For perfect love casts out fear
Fear torments (Fear is/has torment/punishment)
He who is not free from fear is not perfected in love
We are empowered to love because He first loved us
If a man claims to love God but hates his brother he is a liar
For if he loves not his brother whom he sees
How can he love God whom he does not see
This is his command that we should love man as we love God
1Jn 3
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us
That we should be called sons of God
The world does not acknowledge us
Because it doesn’t acknowledge Him
Beloved we are now sons of God
We cannot imagine what we will be like
But we know when He appears
We will be like Him, for we will see him
Everyone who has this hope in His appearing
Purifies himself as he is pure
Whoever sins opposes the law of God
For sins is opposition to God’s law
And you know that Jesus came to free us from sin
And in Him is no sin, whoever abides in Him does not sin
But whoever sins has not seen Him neither known Him
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as Christ is righteous.
He the sinner is a child of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God came, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.
For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.
But if one has enough money to live well, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion for him, how can he claim to have the love of God abiding in him?
My little children, let us not only claim to love with our words; but let our actions reflect this love from inside us.
It is by our actions that we know we are living in truth
That we might be confident when we stand before God
For even if our heart condemn us,
God is greater than our heart, and knows all things
My loved ones, if our heart does not say that we have done wrong, we have no fear before him
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
And this is his commandment: that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he commanded us to.
He who keeps his laws is in God and God is in him. And the Spirit which he gave us is our witness that he is in us.
I hope this will be useful to people. make full use of it copy paste,change whatever up to u maybe might help praying scriptures and stuff.
