"Wherever it flows, the river teems with every kind of living creature; fish will abound. Where these waters flow they refresh; everything lives where the river goes." (Ezekiel 47: 9)
Wherever the Holy Spirit flows, there is blessings and prosperity. The Holy Spirit is Lord and give of life. He is the River of life. The Holy Spirit has brought untold blessings in my life. The Voice that speaks in court has helped me in some very tight situations I found myself and needed the right word.
Come Holy Spirit Come!

I will not compete with Jesus
"For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed." (Romans 15: 18)
I know from experience that there is nothing I cannot do with the help of Christ who empowers me. Jesus Christ has absolute power to do whatever He wants. This power is available to those who trust Jesus, who walk in His will and who asks for it.
Lord Jesus, I trust in you. I want to trust in you with all my heart, mind and soul, I believe I walk in your will. Help my weakness and strengthen my steps. Grant me the power I need so that I can accomplish your purpose in my life. I ask for this in your mighty Name Jesus. Amen!

The One thing necessary
"One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the LORD’s house
all the days of my life,
To gaze on the LORD’s beauty,
to visit his temple." (Psalm 27: 4)
Be joyful in hope.
"I believe I shall see the LORD’s goodness
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD, take courage;
be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!" (Psalm 27: 13 -14)

The Lord will build and guard my house
"‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’" (Luke 14: 30)
O Lord, forbid that I should come to such a fate again. Your word promises, "I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1: 6)
I agree and rejoice with your word in Psalm 127: 1:
"Unless the LORD build the house,
they labor in vain who build.
Unless the LORD guard the city,
in vain does the guard keep watch."
Once upon a time, I started to build but was unable to finish. I became a laughing stock in the community. This time, I have learned my lesson. I want you to build my house O Lord. I want you to watch over the house O Lord. With you building and guarding the house I feel secure.

Pray without ceasing
"Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer." (Romans 12: 12)
Prayer is the key that unlocks hope and patience. Prayer is so important and so powerful that our gracious and awesome Father made it a universal gift for all His children. It is the one gift that can be exercised always and everywhere. Life is full of tribulations. Trials come to all and sundry. If prayer is free and the ordained means of getting so much needed help in crisis, what reason could there be for not using it. Ignorance and pride. I rule out ignorance because prayer is a built-in instinct for all living things. Even the animals cry out to God for food. See the scriptures below:
"Who provides nourishment for the raven
when its young cry out to God,
wandering about without food?" (Job 38: 41)
God hears the young raven when they pray for their food.
"The eyes of all look hopefully to you;
you give them their food in due season.
You open wide your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing." (Psalm 145: 15 - 16)
The eyes of all living things look hopefully to God for their sustenance. We who know that God is a gracious and merciful Father rejoice in hope and endure our affliction as discipline and we are constant in prayer.

Lord, make us worthy of your calling
"To this end, we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith,
that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ." (2 Thessalonians 1: 11 - 12)
Lord Jesus, this is a great intercessory prayer. I claim it. My desire is to be worthy of your calling and to be a powerful instrument of fulfilling your entire purpose. I want to magnify your name everywhere.
