Prayer Works Morning Devotion: September 26, 2025

Thus Says The Lord-Who God Says He Is, His Commandments and Promises

"1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray Without Ceasing - Friday Morning Prayer"

---

A very good morning, a very good morning to you, everybody. I pray that you had a wonderful, restful night. And we are up and ready for another day with the Lord. Today is Friday.  

This day we are reserving to pray for one another, each other's needs, and to keep prayers flowing into the heavens. And brothers and sisters, I just want to encourage you before we start.  

This environment that's going on in this nation, or pretty much in our world, demands that we pray. And because the reality is that, you know, I don't know if humanity have solutions anymore for the challenges that we all face, because not only can people talk about things anymore, I think people have made themselves what things should be.  

You know, we have given ourselves titles based on what we believe, instead of just understanding that we are all God's children. And that would be a good starting point, but there are others that no longer believe other people are God's children. 

And that becomes very difficult to have conversations pertaining to anything, because once you take a stance that proclaims that you are something other than God's child, then you want to defend that position because you believe that you are the position.  

And because you believe you are the position, violence becomes an answer if you feel threatened. So, that's the world we are in now. And what makes it worse is that technology is now taking over, even thinking.  

So, if we need a solution instead of listening to the Holy Spirit, you know, we are likely going to go to computers. And computers don't have emotions or feelings. Computers can't relate to the Kingdom of God, cannot, because they were designed by men.  

And because of that, we are in this predicament that we are in. So if you are a believer, my encouragement is that let's stay in consistent prayer and let's continue to pray without ceasing, like Paul instructed us to, because it's needed and it's our only way, it's our only answer.  

Scripture says, if my people who are caught by my name humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways and seek my face and pray. So, turning from your wicked ways and seeking his face and humbling yourself should lead you to one thing, prayer.  

And like we always say here, that prayer is an antidote to every human condition. So pray, pray, pray, pray without ceasing. You get a moment, pray. You're in your car, pray. You are at the grocery store, pray.  

Because the stuff that we're dealing with now, can no longer be solved by debate, or can no longer be solved by discussion. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your goodness and your mercy towards us.  

We thank you, Lord, for all that you're doing in our lives and what you're still going to do. We come before you this morning with a clear understanding that prayer is now needed in most situations that we are dealing with in this world.  

So, Father, today we want to decree some things, knowing that that's what you have said about us, and that's what we stand on, Christ the solid rock. So Father, we decree that we are loved by God.  

We are decreeing that we are in your kingdom, and the kingdom of God is in our inheritance, that we are eternally alive, and that we are being guided by God's Word and His Spirit.

But we decree that the Kingdom of God is in us. We are decreeing that the Kingdom is operating in us, directing us and moving us in the direction in which you desire for us to go.

That the kingdom is ours. We are decreeing that we are full of joy and everlasting peace. We are carrying the nature of the true God. We believe, Lord, that the Kingdom of God is ours, and we are in it. 

And we protect us of its statutes, and that it is our inheritance to experience what it gives, that the Kingdom of God is at hand, and it's open to us to access and to enter in, in the name of Jesus.  

Father, we decree that we are all healthy, that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that God is our healer, that Jesus Christ raised that God raised Jesus Christ and His Spirit is now living in us making us whole again in the name of Jesus. We decree Lord that every single one of us is healed that we experience good health. 

And we pray Lord that our children, our extended family, they are all walking in health in the name of Jesus. Father, we decree, Lord, that there's no sickness that will come and derail our lives because the blood of Jesus is upon us that we're not dealing with any cancerous cell or suffering from any pulmonary diseases or conditions.
