We seek God’s purposes in prayer. We seek God’s healing in prayer and we seek God’s sustenance in prayer. And he will sustain us! Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus who endured his crisis to see himself seated at God’s right hand.”

Psalm 84:11
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favour and honour. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Some thoughts about prayer: “The spectacle of a nation praying is more awe-inspiring than the explosion of an atomic bomb… because prayer is man's greatest means of trapping the infinite resources of God,” (J Edgar Hoover, first-ever director of the FBI); “God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them,” (E. M. Bounds). And the words of a good friend of mine, Evangelist George Miller, “What God can do, prayer can do!”

The whole world is living through one of the greatest universal crises in recorded history. The effects of the coronavirus lockdown and the fear of contracting this deadly disease have shaken so many people. Some have become consumed with confusing conspiracies propagated by Social Media. Others have lost their livelihoods while still more have lost their very lives. This pandemic has invoked lies, death and destruction. It has robbed people of joy, peace and their incomes. Let’s remember, Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” He also said that the devil is the father of lies.

The enemy of God’s plan for your life is Satan. His plan for you is to derail you from God’s plan for you. Satan is the thief that Jesus referred to; he is the killer and the destroyer. If you are suffering the effects of this coronavirus, I encourage you to pray and seek first God’s domain and his goodness. Your Lord is faithful and he will meet your needs and heal your flesh. By God’s grace, you are made right before him and no good thing will he withhold from those who live under his grace. Again, I encourage you to pray. Prayer is the key to seeking his face. We seek God’s purposes in prayer. We seek God’s healing in prayer and we seek God’s sustenance in prayer. And he will sustain us! Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus who endured his crisis to see himself seated at God’s right hand.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I pray, dear God, as Jesus taught us to pray, deliver us from evil!

“Heavenly Father, I believe you are still on the eternal throne of glory and in control of all that transpires on this planet. Firstly, I pray, forgive me for any wrong I have done, and for taking my eyes off you during this pandemic. Secondly, I stand with all who are praying against this pandemic and rebuke the works of Satan through the coronavirus. I seek your face and acknowledge you as my almighty Lord and Saviour. You have saved me from sin and death and all evil. I pray, dear God, as Jesus taught us to pray, deliver us from evil! Bring an end to this global crisis. Bring healing to those who are ill and bring recovery to our economies. With my God, all things are possible. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

If you require more prayer, I’d love to pray with you. Please email dudley@godtracker.co.uk

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING WARY OF THE DEVIL'S SCHEMES


The e-devotional helping to keep you on track with God’s plans for your life. GodTracker is published at http://godtracker.co.uk 

The devil’s plan is to always undermine the plan of God. Satan is not a creator; he is a counterfeiter”

John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Jim had a calling on his life. He’d come to know Jesus at an early age and by the time he reached his teens, he knew God had a plan for him. Jim was bright and talented, and the Lord soon opened a door for him to flourish as a worship leader. Three years after leaving school Jim married his childhood sweetheart. Together they fixed their eyes on the purposes of God. He registered with a Bible seminary to study for the ministry. However, two years into his studies Jim was to discover the truth that, although God had a plan for his life, so did the enemy of God’s plans – the devil.

Only one year into Jim’s study programme, the enemy came in like a flood. Jim had been spending much time practicing music with a young woman in the music team. Spending undue time together they soon fell in love. Both were married. Gradually Jim’s marriage began to unravel. His eyes and heart were being drawn away from the woman he’d loved since childhood. He tried to justify his infidelity by claiming that he’d never loved his wife, but that was a lie, and he knew it.

The devil’s plan is to always undermine the plan of God. Satan is not a creator; he is a counterfeiter. Satan does know the future; he can only surmise God’s plans for your life. Therefore, he will devise his own alternative schemes to undermine God’s purposes. His plans surely offer a viable alternative to the plans of God. But Satan is a subtle liar. He presents his alternatives in ways that flatter and appease the flesh.

If you have come under the attack of Satan and fallen for his lies, then I counsel: Turn from sin in repentance and contrition and return to the plans you know God knows he has for you. Do this and God will revive you. Humbly submit to the truth of God’s word and conviction of the Holy Spirit (humility always counteracts the flesh), to neutralise the attack of Satan. Do this and God will raise you up. So, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

I’m glad to conclude that Jim came to his senses. The affair lasted only a few weeks, but it almost derailed his marriage and ministry. Love is a choice and Jim chose, with God's help, to again love his wife. God’s plans prevailed!

I submit to the truth of your word and choose to walk according to the plans you know you have for me

“Dear God, I see it now. I have been flattered by the devil and he has attempted to derail me from my God track. I admit to and confess my wrong, O Lord. Forgive me I pray for taking my eyes off you and following the devil's alternative. I humble myself before you in contrition and truth. You alone are my Lord. You alone are my Guide. I submit to the truth of your word and choose to walk according to the plans you know you have for me. Praise you for your purposes. Amen.”

 Gossip is dangerous, and gossip is a sin. Gossip can split families, split churches, destroy businesses and undermine God’s purposes. Jesus called the devil the father of lies… gossip is at the very least, embroidered truth.”


Proverbs 18:21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

http://surereality.netDuring his last year in office, British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was attending an official ceremony. Several rows behind him two gentlemen began whispering. “That's Winston Churchill,” said one man. “They say he is getting senile,” replied the other. “They say he should step aside and leave the running of the nation to more dynamic and capable men.” When the ceremony was over, Churchill turned to the men and quietly said, "Gentlemen, they also say he is deaf!"
French playwright, Pierre de Marivaux said, “Some people will believe anything if it is whispered to them.” In proverbs we read, “A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.” The tongue is a dangerous weapon. With it we praise God and with it we slander men. A surreptitious whisper can often have far reaching ramifications, particularly because the Lord hears every word that we speak.

I was once the victim of a clandestine conspiracy. In a small church, where I was the worship leader, the pastor developed a notion that I planned to split the church and lure half its members away with me. This was a ludicrous thought. I had absolutely no intension of doing so. At the time, I was in fulltime training for the ministry and needed both the pastor and the church’s support. Nevertheless, the pastor had this idea, and soon he began talking to others about it. Eventually, he’d rallied enough covert support to confront me. I denied his accusations but, because he had already spread the rumour, I was compelled to resign, for fear of actually splitting the church. Sadly, that was not the end of the story, because, when I stepped down, the majority of the church began to ask questions. I tried to remain objective but soon a vote of confidence was called in the pastor’s leadership. He lost the vote and the church eventually shut down.

Gossip is dangerous, and gossip is a sin. Gossip can split families, split churches, destroy businesses and undermine God’s purposes. Jesus called the devil the father of lies. As was obvious by Churchill’s reply to the two men who whispered about him, gossip is at the very least, embroidered truth. Scripture warns us, “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.” So, let’s pray, “Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips.”

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Lord, help us to guard against gossip in the Church; help us to guard the gate of our lips

“Father God, I’m sorry for ever spreading rumours. I realise that gossip is dangerous and vain. Forgive me for the times I have gossiped. Jesus, you are the Truth. Help me to always walk in the truth, believe the truth and speak the truth. I pray for anyone I may have hurt through a flippant word or futile gossip. I pray for their restoration and healing. Lord, help us to guard against gossip in the Church; help us to guard the gate of our lips. Amen.”
