Prayer

“Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.”
— ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬



Father, thank You for the privilege of being Yours. You are my Shepherd, who guides and leads me. You know my name. You already know and understand, with depth and clarity, the breadth of the situation in which I now have to make a life-altering decision or choice. You foresee the impact and outcome each choice will have on me, my destiny, and others, including those in my future. You have given me free Will to choose; I  submit to you, Father.



A good Father, You are. Your Will is good, pleasing and perfect. As You said in Jeremiah 29:11, Your plans are for my prosperity; never to harm me. You plan to give me a hope and a future. You love and are for me and those who will be connected to me in future. I trust Your heart towards me. Show me Your Will. Lead me to make a decision that aligns with Your plan and Your good, pleasing and perfect Will for my life. Lead me to make a decision that has a good outcome and will result in Your plans being fulfilled. 



You know me completely. All-seeing One, You know the desires of my heart and my needs. Guide me to choose, without settling, the option that will fulfill the desires of my heart. May I have peace in my decision; may your peace confirm that I made the right choice.



I acknowledge that, like Joseph, though my logic and thought processes may guide me to make a particular choice, Your Will may be for me to make another choice. You are all-knowing. May I not decide based on logic, for I am limited in knowledge and may potentially forfeit a divine blessing through my decision. May I not choose based on solely my own reasoning, but by Your vast understanding and intimate knowledge of all things. Not my will, but Yours be done. 

Speak Lord; Your son/daughter is listening. What should I choose? Communicate Your Will to me through any channel or medium You choose, whether by dreams, visions, hearing, Your Word, Your still small voice, etc. Thank You in advance for Your answer, Jesus. Thank You for listening.

In Your name I pray, 
Amen.

“The People of Light” (I) | Light and Darkness

In this day and age, it is unlikely for one to be unaware of the suffering being experienced globally.  We all hear the Earth as she groans.  To preserve our sanity, many of us have covered our ears. Situated within suffering is a peculiar body of people whose hope appears inextinguishable.  Within the Earth grimacing at chaos rises a contrasting melodic sound.  With one voice, the people sing songs of joy and triumph, shifting the atmosphere.  Their words and hands share healing.  Their stories of enduring dark pasts inspire.  Even in dire heartache and grief, their recovery is sure.  Their peace remains unable to be permanently stolen.  Despite the steady decline of society’s circumstances, this people declares resolute, “It is well”.  If they have had and are having the same human experiences as the rest of the world, how do they live beyond the suffering? These people are called the People of Light, Children of the God of Israel. ...

You Have to Start.

“Fear tries to convince you that you can’t do what you were born to do. It makes you want to run from the opportunity to break that cocoon and enter a new stage of responsibility, showing others whom you were really created to be.”  — Tanänia Reid      I know how it feels to be where you are; afraid of starting. I know that you are scared because, as I write the second sentence of this blog, I am. Regardless, I have to start. You have to start. We have to start making our dreams happen. Time is valuable, and our timidity is expensive. We have too much within us not to give our all, especially to those who need it. The Ultimate Catalyst      The fastest way to get a man to believe is to give him proof of what to believe in. I figure that it would be hard to believe in the wind if nothing ever swayed. Belief in the unseen is born from its physical representation. Therefore, it is impossible for others to believe in the gold within you if it is unsee...

Spiritual Warfare - An Introduction

Hi, I’m Light. Welcome to— Introduction  War:- “a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country.” (Oxford Languages) War is synonymous with warfare, and spiritual warfare adopts this definition. Spiritual warfare is an unseen reality of armed conflict in the realm of the spirit; one between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God.  “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].” — Matthew 11:12 AMP Like all wars, spiritual warfare involves violent attacks, plunder, weaponry and casualties. Due to destinies, purposes, possessions and people’s lives being at stake, it is important for those within the Kingdom of God to be knowledgeable about and equipped, experienced and trained in spiritual warfare. Those of the Kingdom of God must have an awareness and be learned on how to engage and be victorious in spiritual warfare. Sadly, ...
