July 27th Yooks Blogon Jul 27 in Uncategorized tagged by pclyooksIn Ephesians 6:18 the Word instructs: “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints…”
At 12noon and 10pm (Local) we’ll pray for all the saints in Christ all over the world; That the communication of their faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing in them in Christ Jesus. Pray very much in the spirit and especially intercede for those who are still very young in the Lord. God bless you. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4). Many have misconceptions about the scripture above because they’re not familiar with the use of prophetic language. When the Lord Jesus made this statement, He wasn’t talking about the mourning of a loved one; rather, He was talking as a prophet. When you study the lives of the Old Testament prophets in the Bible, you’d often read of how they put ashes on their heads or tore their clothes as they mourned. On such occasions, they weren’t mourning because they lost something, or someone died! They mourned because of God’s children who had either gone astray or into captivity. They were concerned with the plight of God’s people so they mourned in intercession for their deliverance. And when the restoration or deliverance came, the prophets were comforted. Some Christians are less concerned about the well being of fellow believers. They hear that a particular brother or sister doesn’t go to church anymore, yet they’re unperturbed. This ought not to be so! Just as the prophets were concerned about the Israelites, we also must be concerned about the plight of other believers around us and throughout the world. How often do you pray for the persecuted, the distressed, the backslidden and the sick in our midst or around the world? If you haven’t been doing this consistently, then you must begin today! In Exodus 32, God was on the verge of destroying the entire Israelite nation because of their disobedience, but Moses stood in His way in prayer. He stood in the gap for the children of Israel, seeking the mercy of God on their behalf. Moses strongly connected himself to the people, and the Bible says, “So even though the LORD had threatened to destroy the people, he changed his mind and let them live” (Exodus 32:14 CEV). Hallelujah! This should be your attitude towards other believers around you. Don’t become cold-hearted; realize that it’s your spiritual obligation to intercede in prayer for them. Jesus said you’re blessed when you do this, for you’ll be comforted. That means your prayers will yield the desired results. Today, at 12noon and 10pm (local) we’ll pray earnestly and fervidly in other tongues for 15mins. As we pray, we will intercede for saints all over the world, that they may be strengthened in the Lord always, and that they may continually walk in the victory of Christ.

Good day Pastor Sir, Thank you always for every opportunity to leave comments. Glory to God !
Today, we are looking at the Word “Divine Health”. Glory !
With reference to “Healing from Heaven Vol 2 written by Our Man of God -
Pastor Chris page 91, says “The Word of God actually functions like a step-up
Converter; it transforms you from one level of glory to another. It changes the
circumstances of your life and brings healing to your body. When you understand
this truth, you’d realize that God doesn’t choose to heal one and not the other.
Glory to God ! He said: When you see, hear and understand My Word, you’ll
be healed ! There’s no option. My healing power is in My Word ! Hallelujah !
The Book of Mark 10: 51, Jesus asked the Blind Bartimaeus; What do you want me
to do for you ? The blind man said “Rabbi, I want to see”. Go, “said Jesus
Your faith has healed you”. Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus
along the road. Hallelujah !
Therefore, Faith is based on the knowledge of God’s Word. To be healed,
we need to believe that it is God’s will for us to be whole and healthy. Praise God!
God is the healer. He was very specific, straight to his point of needs.
God wants us to be specific, with Him. No long stories; just to tell Him what
we want Him to do for us. Act 10: 38; talked about how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power and how He went about doing good
and healing all who were under the power of the devil because, God was with Him.
Hallelujah ! The same power has been given unto us ; We can lay hands on the
sick and they wii recover. Hallelujah ! Hebrews 13:8, says, Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday and today and forever. Glory to God !
Let us please examine Matthew 8: 5, which says, The Faith of the Centurion “He
said my servants lies at home paralyzed and in terrible sufferings; Jesus said
to him, “I will go and heal him.” The Centurion replied……”Just say the Word,
and my servants will be healed” Glory to God ! Our healing depends on our
Faith based on the Word of God. Hallelujah ! Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know
the plans I have for you “declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future.’
All we have to do is to seek him with all our heart. Glory !
The answer to every situation is found in the Word of God. Why ?
Because, God lives in us and has given us of His Spirit. We are born winners
and in good health. Therefore, sickness shall have no dominion over us.
Glory to God ! Isaiah 53:4-5 says “Surely, he took up our infirmities and
carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God, But He was
Pierced for our trangressions, He was crushed for our iniquities, the punish-
ment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we were
healed. Glory ! 1 Peter 2: 24 also say that, He Himself born our sins in His
body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by
his wounds you have been healed. Glory!
Proverbs 4:20-22 says; My son, pay attention to what I say ; listen closely
to my Words, Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body.
Hallelujah ! Joshua 1:8 says, Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your
mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do
everything written in it: Then you will be prosperous and successful. Glory !
Can you please speak words of healing to your body, your circumstances
today. Hallelujah ! Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified for the Lord
your God is with you. Hallelujah !
Thank you Pastor Sir.
The same spirit tat raised Jesus from the dead has mortalised my body so no sickness no disease can stay in my body. Thank u pastor for the message. I love u pastor.

For the week of August 4, 2012 / 16 Av 5772
Torah: Devarim / Deuteronomy 3:23 – 7:11
Haftarah: Isaiah 40:1-26
When To Stop Praying
And I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, “O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? Please let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon.” But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me, “Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again.” (Deuteronomy 3:23-26; ESV)
Prayer is amazing! On one hand it is straightforward in that it is simply talking to God. On the other hand, there are aspects of prayer that are not that straightforward. Not that it need be too complicated; it’s that some people turn it into some sort of formula that they guarantee will work as expected as long as you follow the directions. Others make prayer a spiritual exercise designed to nurture our souls, with no real communication aspect, which is really the only aspect of prayer to which the Bible refers.
The complexity of prayer has nothing to do with its mechanics, it’s that it is a truly relational activity and as a relational activity, it is not predictable. God as God is both free and able to respond to prayer however he wishes. While he is kind and compassionate, he will not be manipulated by anyone. Whatever he does, he does what is in his best interests. It’s not that he is selfish; it’s that since he is perfectly good, his best interests are best for everyone – something many are slow to accept. Also, because he is God, he is able to deal with everyone perfectly at the same time. As finite humans, we cannot comprehend how God could legitimately interact with billions of people simultaneously while ensuring his righteous aims will be met. But he is God, and he is good at what he does.
Our hesitancy to accept how relational prayer really is can prevent us from freely and confidently addressing God as we can and should. False notions of spirituality may tell us that if we pray at all, then we should simply state our purpose and leave it at that. The problem with this kind of piety is that it doesn’t reflect the Bible’s understanding of God and prayer. Yeshua’s encouragement to pray and not give up (see Luke 18:1-8) is a wonderful way to describe the kind of earnestness in prayer that we see throughout the Bible. The picture of prayer painted for us in the Bible is far more like that of a child’s expectancy of a loving parent than the false humility of adults who rarely ask for anything from anyone.
That brings us to the question then, how do we know when to stop praying about something. Of course you are free to stop whenever you wish. Perhaps God has answered your prayer or your take on the situation has changed, which also might be due to God answering your prayer. But when a request that you have laid before God over and over again is still an issue for you, is there a time when you should stop praying? Yes there is. When God says so. As we saw last week, Moses had a really hard time with God’s decision not to let him enter the Promised Land. Yet that did not stop him from pleading with God to change his mind. Moses experienced firsthand how God could take a stand on something, yet change course due to prayer (see Shemot /Exodus 32:11-14). Why not in this case?
Yet in this case, God not only said “No,” but also that Moses should not speak to him at all regarding this matter ever again. Centuries later, Paul would experience something similar. He had been earnestly asking God to remove some sort of problem he was having. Like Moses, but in different words, God said, “No,” and made clear to him what he needed to do (see 2 Corinthians 12:7-10).
So how do we know when to stop praying? When God says so. Until then, don’t stop.
Love my father in the lord.Botswana.
wow dady lm wining every day. Botswana.
amen Pastor
we luv u pastor chris.christ embassy idutywa.
Good afternoon Pastor. Thank you Sir for every opportunity to leave a comment.
Psalm 84 v5 says “Blessed are those who dwell in your house , they are ever
praising you. Verse 12 says O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trust in you.
Hallelujah ! What is trust ? It means confidence, belief, faith, expectation, conviction,
assurance, certainty, reliance and many more. In Proverbs 3 :5 , says ” Trust in the
Lord with all your heart. Praise God ! In our daily walk with God, we must have trust
in Him. Proverbs 3:3-4 says; Let Love and Faithfulness never leave you; bind them
around your neck. Write them on the tablets of your heart. God is our Shephered.
Psalm 84: 11 says; For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord bestows favour
and honor, no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
Why ? This is because their trust in the Lord. Hallelujah !
When you trust in the Lord; Then you will win favour and a good name in the
sight of God and man. Glory ! Psalm 143: 8 ; says, Let the morning bring me Word
of your unfailing love; for I have put my trust in you. Praise God ! The Word
Trust ! is powerful, is active, and vital. Is a connector between man and God !
Glory to God ! There is no relationship if there is no “TRUST ” For man to believe
that God is Who He is, there must be a “Trust ” , as in reference to Psalm 8 :10.
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken
those who seek you. Isaiah 26:4; says “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord,
the Lord, is the Rock eternal. Isaiah 50: 10…..Let him who walks in the dark, who
has no light, trust in the name of the Lord. Hallelujah ! Psalm 37 :3 , says “Trust in
the Lord and do good ;dwell in the Land and enjoy safe pasture. Praise God.
Trust, comes with a package that is, the blessings of God, as revealed in Psalm
35 :5; “Commit your ways to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this.
Hey ! What will God do ? He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
Glory ! the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Glory !
Let us please examine 1Peter 2:23; When they hurled their insults on Him, He
did not retaliate, when he suffered, he made no threats instead, he entrusted
Himself to Him who judges justly. Praise God ! Psalm 118 :8, says,
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man ..Psalm 112 :7-8 ,says.
Those that trust in the Lord, will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast,
trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will
look in triumph on his foes. Hallelujah. Our Trust is in the Lord ;
Isaiah 43:10 says; You are my witnesses, declares the Lord, ‘ and my servants
whom I have chosen. Glory ! 1Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen people,
a royal priest hood, a Holy nation, a people belonging to God, that, you may
declare the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His wonderful
Light. Hallelujah ! Our lives have been subplanted. The Holy Spirit gives us peace
in times of trouble. As we trust in the Lord, we are not moved, because
greater is He that is in us; than he that is in the world. We live here, but we
are not permanent residence of this world. Heaven is our home. We are on a
transit. Hallelujah ! As we pray for those who are going through persecutions
today. Psalm 118 :6 ” The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid. What can man do
to me ? Isaiah 12:2-3 says, Surely, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be
afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song, he has become
my salvation.” With joy, you will draw water from the wells of salvation !
Glory ! We pray that the message of the Lord will continue to spread rapidly
and be honoured, just as it was with you. The Lord is faithful and will strengthen
and protect you from the evil one. Hallelujah ! Glory to God!
