Todays Prayer Dear God, Thank you for being orderly and powerful and loving and understanding! I need your help. You know there are difficult people in this world. There always have been and always will be. Some people can be avoided. Some people I must see and deal with, so I need to know what to do. When they are so wrong and their sin and stupidity affects other peoples lives, but they do not want help nor do they listen to reason and good sense or even Christian counsel from others who have been there, there really isnt much I can do. So what I need to do is ask you to please intervene. Please help me to not react and do or say anything wrong. Please open the other persons eyes, enlighten their mind, and speak to their heart. Draw that person (or those people) to you. Fill them with spiritual wisdom, increase their knowledge and maturity, and break down the strongholds that keep them from doing what is right and following your will. Please help. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen. The Spiritual Realm TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1, by Os Hillman 09-10-2014 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. 1 Corinthians 14:15 How real is the spiritual realm? My lawyer friend from Nigeria tells a personal story of how he was preparing for an important case. He knew that he must be prepared to argue five separate points. He was to appear before his countrys supreme court, so it was a very important case. As he neared the time in which he was to go to court, he began to pray about how he was to argue the case. He spent much time in legal preparation and intercessory prayer. As he went to court, the Spirit spoke to him and said, Do not argue point one, point two, point three, or point four. Only argue point five. Imagine my friends struggle of faith. If he were reading this wrong, the shame and professional fallout would be devastating. The time had come to present the case before the judge when my friend said, Judge, I wish to withdraw points one through four. I wish to argue only point five. The opposing counsel stood up and objected. Your honor, he cannot do that! Objection overruled, counsel, said the judge. My friend went on to present his case around point five only, and then sat down. When the opposing counsel stood to present his case, he stood speechless for 12 minutes. He could not get a word out of his mouth. He finally mumbled a few words and complained to the judge that he was going to have to yield. It seems that the opposing counsel had prepared to argue only points one through four, but failed to prepare for point five. The judge ruled in favor of my friend. The unseen Lord wants to help us in the physical realm of our work life. We must acknowledge His presence and tap into this incredible resource He has given to each of us. Seek Him today and ask Him to reveal His perfect plan for you this day. Today God Is First (TGIF) devotional message, Copyright by Os Hillman, Marketplace Leaders.
