Prayer to St. Charbel to receive blessings and hope

 

Dear Saint Charbel, today I raise my prayer with gratitude and trust. I ask you to present before God my needs and those of all those who seek your help. Pour upon my home the peace, health, love, and blessing of heaven.

Keep away from my life the discouragement, fear, and every worry that steals my tranquility. Fill my heart with faith, guide my steps on the path of good, and accompany me in each new dawn. May I never stray from the love of Christ and may, through your powerful intercession, I live with hope, joy, and trust in the will of God. Amen.

Miracle prayer to Saint Anthony of Padua, Blessing, Healing and Deliverance

Everything has a Reason and a Season

GOD has Chosen you

to make you 

a Blessing to many.

Don't blame your situation.

Don't be discouraged.

Don't panic....

just wait.

Hold on to God....

Everything has a Reason

and a Season.

My life is a blessing from You Lord, come to my assistance O' Lord my God

Thank you God for everything, everything in my life is a blessing from You. I am now unable to handle things on my own as financial commitments and debts are have overwhelm me. At times I have no money to even meet my basic daily necessities like even fuel for my car,  the situation I am in is almost out of my control. You are my Lord, God and Savior only You can do the impossible, without You I am nothing. All I have is from You, all I am is because of my own faults and all I am going to be depends on You infinite mercy and goodness Lord. Please hear me Lord, as I call upon You in this desperate times and help me. Lord I know that I am a sinner and it is unworthy for You to enter under my roof, but I truly believe and trust that You only have to say the word and I will be healed from my misery. You have said your word does return to You void as in Isaiah 55:11, “so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth, it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” Make a way Lord for the financial assistance to come to me and provide  for me to overcome these debts so that my life will change, I will repent and as You have helped me, I too will be a help to others and the needy. Lord I make this pray through Your son 

JESUS CHRIST. 

Amen.

How can we know with certainty that Jesus is truly who he claims to be - the Son of God and Savior of the world? Philip was eager to tell his friend Nathaniel (who is also known as Bartholomew in Matthew 10:3 and Luke 6:14) about his decision to be a disciple of Jesus. Philip tried to convince his friend that Jesus was the Messiah, whom Moses and the prophets had foretold would come. Nathanial was very skeptical because he didn't think it was possible for the Messiah to come from Nazareth, a town in Galilee. Nathaniel not only disliked the town of Nazareth, he despised its residents as unworthy Jews. "How could anything good come from such a place?"

Nazareth was at the crossroads of the ancient world where people from different cultures and religions would pass through. Perhaps Nathaniel thought its religious teachers were not orthodox enough in their understanding and interpretation of the law of Moses. Besides, how could the Messiah come from Galilee when the prophets said he would come from Bethlehem of Judaea? Aren't we all a bit like Nathaniel? We are skeptical when someone tries to convince us of the truth until we can comprehend it for ourselves.

A skeptical but earnest search for God's truth

So what kind of proof did Philip offer to Nathanael? Rather than argue with his friend, Philip took the wiser strategy of inviting Nathanael to "come and see" for himself who this Jesus claimed to be. Clever arguments rarely win people to the Gospel - but an encounter with the person of Jesus Christ can change one's life forever. When people are receptive to the word of Christ and when they see his love in action, the Lord Jesus himself, through the power of the Holy Spirit, touches their hearts and opens their minds to recognize that he truly is the Son of God who reveals the Father's love and truth to us.

When Philip brought Nathanael to Jesus, Jesus did something which only God could do! He opened Nathanael's heart and his innermost thoughts and desires to God's revelation. Jesus called Nathanael a true "Israelite in whom there is no guile." God had chosen Jacob, who was given the name Israel, over his twin brother Essau, because Jacob was a man of faith, without guile or cunning like Essau (Genesis 25:27). Nathanael, like Jacob, hungered for God and believed in God's promises. Nathanael knew the Scriptures. He had read the law and the prophets. And like Jacob he was waiting for the fulfillment of God's promises to his people Israel. Nathanael was an earnest seeker of God. He not only sought to grow in understanding of God's word, but he sought an intimate personal relationship with God as well. That is why he was willing to meet Jesus, to see if perhaps this miracle worker from Galilee might be the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

God's word brings blessing and refreshment for those who receive it 

What is the significance of Jesus' revelation of seeing Nathanael "under the fig tree"? For the people of Israel, the fig tree was a symbol of God's peace and blessing (1 Kings 4:24b-25, Micah 4:4). It provided shade from the midday sun and a cool refreshing place to retreat, pray, and reflect on God's word. Rabbis often gathered their disciples under the shade of the fig tree to teach them the wisdom and revelation of God's word in the Scriptures. The rabbis had an expression for comparing the fig tree to being nourished with God's word in Scripture, "He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit."

Jesus offers the greatest gift possible - peace and friendship with God

It is very likely that Nathanael had been thinking about God's word while sitting "under his fig tree" and reflecting on God's promise to send a Messiah King who would free his people from sin and oppression and usher in God's kingdom of righteousness and peace for the whole world. Perhaps Nathanael dozed off for a midday nap and dreamt of God's kingdom like Jacob had dreamt when God gave him a vision of a great ladder which united earth with heaven (see Genesis 28:12-17). Through the gift of revelation Nathanael recognized that Jesus was truly the Messiah, the everlasting "Son of God and King of Israel" (John 1:49). The Lord Jesus offered Nathanael the greatest gift of all - the gift of friendship with God and the offer of free access to God's throne in heaven.

Jesus promises that we will dwell with the living God

What does Jesus mean when he says "you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man"? One of the most remarkable revelations recorded in the Bible is the dream of Jacob (Genesis 28:12-17). God had opened a door for Jacob that brought him and his people into a new relationship with the living God. In Jacob's dream God revealed his angelic host and showed him the very throne of heaven and promised Jacob that he and his descendants would dwell with the living God.

Jesus, the Son of God, unites earth and heaven in himself 

Jesus' response to Nathanael's new faith in accepting Jesus as the Messiah is the promise that Jesus himself will open the way for free access to the very throne of God in heaven. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise to Jacob and his descendants - he is the way to the Father in heaven and the true "ladder (or stairway) which unites earth with heaven." In Jesus' incarnation, the divine Son of God taking on human flesh for our sake, we see the union of heaven and earth - God making his dwelling with us and bringing us into the heavenly reality of his kingdom through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus gives us free access to God's presence

Jesus' death on the cross, where he defeated sin and won new life for us through his resurrection, opens the way for each of us to come into a new relationship with God as his adopted sons and daughters. The Lord Jesus opens the way for each one of us to "ascend to heaven" and to bring "heaven to earth" in the daily circumstances of our lives. God's kingdom is present in those who seek him and who strive to do his will. Through the gift of faith God opens a door for each one of us to the heavenly reality of his kingdom. Do you see with the "eyes of faith" what the Lord Jesus has done for us?

Heavenly Father, through your Son Jesus Christ, you have opened the way to heaven for each one of us. As you personally revealed yourself to your beloved patriarchs and apostles, so reveal yourself to me that I may recognize your presence with me and know the power of your kingdom at work in my life. May I always find joy and peace in your presence and never lose sight of your everlasting kingdom.

God Bless, Prayers leads to Blessing and Miracles

 

Dear Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ,

I thank you for this day, for this is the day that the Lord has made,

I will rejoice and be glad in it.
I thank you for being able to see, and to hear,

and to speak, and to feel, and to taste

of Your good creation this day and every day.
I'm blessed because you are such a loving

and such a forgiving God, and such an understanding

and caring God.
You have done so much for me and yet you keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have ever done,

or ever said or ever thought, that was not pleasing to you.

I say I am so sorry, and I now repent and ask for your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe O God from all danger, hurt, and harm.
Help me to start this day and every day with a new attitude

and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day,

to clear my mind so that I can hear from you.
Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things

according to God's Will.

Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over,

for all things are working together for my good and God's Glory.
And when I'm pushed beyond my limits,

give me the best response, a response to says Alleluia, and
Praise the Lord, and Thanks be unto the Most High God Almighty, I know that when I can't pray,

You listen to the prayer of my heart.
Continue to use me to do your will.
Continue to bless me so that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong so that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted so that I may have words

of encouragement for the discouraged.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way,

that they come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour,

even through this Prayer I am now praying.

I pray for those that are misjudged
Misguided, misused, and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know you intimately.
I pray for those who will ignore this prayer
without sharing the Love of God with others.
I pray for those that don't believe,
but I thank You, that I do believe
that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers,
for each and every one of the family members in their households.

I pray for peace, love, and joy in their homes.

I pray that they are out of debt
and that all their financial needs are met,

and they have more than enough to be a blessing to others.
I pray for every eye that reads and says this Prayer
that they come to know that there is no problem, no circumstance, no situation that is greater than God,

for God is greater than all,

God is greater in all,

God is greater through all,

and God is greater upon all.
For God, the Most High God Almighty of all the Universes

is truly the Greatest of All.

I pray for all my enemies, and those who have used me

and abused me, and have lifted up their hands

and their tongue against me.

I now forgive them for all they have done.

In Jesus Name, all my enemies are now forgiven,

and I pray for God's forgiveness upon all my enemies,

for they do know what they are doing, as I am a Child of God.
So every battle that I have ever encountered in my life

is now in God's Loving hands,

for You, O God fights all my battles for me.
I pray that these words be believed, received and accepted
into the hearts of every eye that sees them

and every tongue that confesses them
in name of Jesus Christ.

I pray believing, receiving and accepting God's miracles

in my life this day and every day,

for God's Divine favor is now my heritage,

in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen!

It is done!

O' Praise The Lord! Alleluia!
