Good morning. Apologies for posting my Sat article as promised. Sat happens to be "My Family Day". We had a great time with the family God has blessed me with. Praise God! He has blessed me with a lovely & loving wife & a beautiful daughter and they are my great source of inspiration. So today I will post the rest of the acronym (FELLOWSHIP)in detail. We looked at the first 3 letters FEL...Today, we will look at the rest of the letters...LOWSHIP & I pray that it is going to be a prayer guide in praying for the strength of your innerman. If you are strong in your INNERMAN- everything else becomes easy to do. You become UNSTOPPABLE. L- LIGHT OF YOUR GLORY: Father, let me see the light of Your glory or to encounter the “glory realm”.Give me Holy Spirit encounters (dreams, visions, angelic visitations, manifestations of light, fire,wind) as You gave to Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel and John (Ex. 33; 34:29-30; Isa.6; Ezek. 1; Rev. 1). 6 A great light from heaven shone around me…8 He said to me, “I am Jesus of Nazareth…” 11 I could not see for the glory of that light…I came to Damascus. (Acts 22:6-11) 18 And he (Moses) said, "Please, show me Your glory." (Ex. 33:18) 6 Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us. (Ps. 4:6) 16 His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. (Rev. 1:16) 3 Send out Your light and truth! Let them lead me…bring me to Your holy hill… (Ps. 43:3) 3 Restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved! (Ps. 80:3) 51 You shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending… (Jn. 1:51) 17 I pray, open his eyes that he may see. Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man…the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kgs. 6:17) O- ONETHING LIFE FOCUS: Father, strengthen me to maintain a life in Your word with desire for it. When I lose this focus, send Your word to deliver me as You did for the saints at Ephesus, Sardis and Laodicea (Rev. 2:4-5; 3:1-3; 3:15-20). Alert me when I need to recommit my schedule and priorities to live as a person of one thing who regularly sits at Your feet, as Mary of Bethany did. Busyness, guilt and despair cause fervent believers to drift from their fervency. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part… (Lk. 10:42) 4 One thing I have desired…all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord. (Ps. 27:4) 8 I have set the Lord always before me…He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. (Ps. 16:8) W- COUNT ME WORTHY(faithfulness unto fullness): Father, strengthen me to walk in a way that You would consider me worthy to walk in my highest calling and escape all compromise that I might stand before You victorious in full obedience. 11 We pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power… (2 Thes. 1:11) 36 Watch…and pray always that you may be counted worthy (prepared) to escape all these things (sins of v. 34)…to stand (in victory) before the Son of Man. (Lk. 21:36) 1. No one is “worthy” to receive forgiveness which is a free gift because of Jesus’ worthiness. Rather, we are to have a worthy response to God by living free of compromise, thus prepared or worthy to walk in the fullness of our calling. 2. The opposite of having a worthy response is to waste or receive God’s grace in vain. 1 We…plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. (2 Cor. 6:1) 3. Help keep me free of compromise that I would walk blameless body, soul and spirit. 23 May the God of peace sanctify you completely; may your spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless (without compromise) at the coming of our Lord… (1 Thes. 5:23) 13 That He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God… (1 Thes. 3:13) 4. We agree with David’s prayers to walk in purity. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit in me. (Ps. 51:10) 17 Your people…offer willingly to You. 18 O LORD…keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You. 19 And give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments… (1 Chr 29:17-19) 1 Save me, O God! The waters have come up to my neck. 2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters…the floods overflow me. (Ps. 69:1-2) 5. We agree with David’s holy resolve to set nothing impure before his eyes. 3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes… (Ps. 101:3) 1 I have made a covenant with my eyes; why should I look on a woman (lustfully)? (Job 31:1) 6. Lead me from the storm of temptation, rescue me from its deep waters, and cleanse me from secret faults (Ps. 19:12; 69:1-2).Search me and show me my heart (Ps. 139:23). 13 Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (Mt. 6:13) 15 That You should keep them from the evil one. (Jn. 17:15) 12 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret (unperceived) faults. (Ps. 19:12) 23 Search me, O God, and know (reveal) my heart; try me, and know my anxieties… (Ps. 139:23) S- SPEECH: Father, set a guard over my lips. Free me from defensive, angry and foolish speech (Eph.4:29; 5:4). Sustained communion with God requires restrained conversation with man. 2 If one does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body. (Jas. 3:2) 3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. (Ps. 141:3) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable... (Ps. 19:14) 1-The Spirit is quenched in our life by unwholesome speech (filthy, foolish, coarse jesting). 29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit… 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting…(Eph. 4:29-5:4) 2-I set my heart to not sin with my speech (Ps. 17:3; 39:1). 3 I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. (Ps. 17:3) 1 I said, "I will guard my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked are before me." (Ps 39:1) H- HUMILITY: Jesus, I want to learn from You how to walk in lowliness. I commit to take Your yoke of humility (lowliness of heart) on my life in my attitudes, speech, and actions. Give me wisdom on how to carry my heart in humility. 29 Take My yoke…and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart… (Mt. 11:29) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself…5 Let this mind be in you which was in Christ… (Phil. 2:3-5) I- INSIGHT UNTO INTIMACY(wisdom): Father give me insight into Your Word, will, and ways. Give me wisdom on how to live before You that I may walk in intimacy (union) with You. 17 May give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him… (Eph. 1:17) 9 Ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord… (Col. 1:9-10) 1. Father, “Give me insight that I may walk under the Spirit’s leadership that we may partner together in every issue in my life including my finances, schedule, emotions,circumstances, physical body (diet, health), relationships (in the home, office, ministry), my future, fears, addictions, etc. Give me new ideas in each area of my life”. 26 The Holy Spirit…will teach you all things... (Jn. 14:26) 3.Father, I long to walk in the fullness of Your will in every area of my life. 12 Epaphras…always laboring fervently for you in prayers that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. (Col. 4:12) 4-Let me know the secrets of Your heart (Ps. 25:14). What are You thinking and feeling? 4 Show me Your ways…teach me Your paths. 5 Lead me in Your truth…14 The secretof the LORD is with those who fear Him… (Ps. 25:4-5, 14) 4. We ask for the Spirit’s insight into God’s end-time purposes (Dan. 11:35; 12:10), eternity, the New Jerusalem, the judgment seat of Christ, and hell. 13 The Spirit…will guide you into all truth; He will tell you things to come. (Jn. 16:13) 22 O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. (Dan. 9:22) 20 The anger of the LORD (end-time judgments) will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly. (Jer. 23:20) P- PEACE & JOY: Father, strengthen my heart with supernatural peace and joy that overpowers fear and anxiety that I would not sin. Sin grows fastest when fear or anxiety works strongly in us. 7 The peace of God…will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:7) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abounding hope (confidence) by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 15:13) 16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. (2 Thes. 3:16) Cultivate a lifestyle of prayer!
