1. The blood frees you from grief & sorrow. Surely, He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows . . . and with His stripes, we are healed.—Isaiah 53:4-5

2. The blood frees you from sickness & pain. "By His stripes, you are healed." (Isaiah 53)

3. The blood frees you from fear. The blood of Jesus is the proof of God's perfect love for you. There is NO greater love than to offer His blood for us. And this great, perfect love casts out fear! Cast your care and fear on Him today. His love will bring you peace today.

Exhortation to the church: Philippians‬ ‭4:10-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:10-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The prayer of intercession

“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When we intercede it requires us To have a constant posture to pray always.

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Spirit of God tells or directs us on who to pray for.

The bible says we don’t know how we ought to pray.

It is the Spirit of God that make us pray accurately. He informs our Spirits on how to pray.

Intercession is standing in the gap for someone else.

We excused our prayer lists and pray for other people .

Intercession takes out selfishness in us.

Intercession is standing in a gab as a bridge.

“You have not gone up into the gaps or breaches, nor built the wall around the house of Israel that it might stand in the battle on the day of the LORD.”

‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭13:5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

We all have to stand for one another ( in the bridge)

Always pray for your local church, and every part of your church leaders.

List the names of your church’s pastor(s), ministry leaders (e.g., elders, deacons, Sunday school teachers, (The Joy bunch), church workers and their spouses and children. List other members of your church who especially are in need of prayer

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭NKJV

Peace is our nature... we bring peace where ever we go because “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Jesus is the PRINCE of peace/ the originator of peace / the Father of peace

“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Powerful message on how to TRIUMPH in pain.

What does God say about EFFECTIVE PRAYER?

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Prayer is a place of request.

A place where we bring all our anxieties and needs to God .

Make your requests KNOWN to God, even though He Knows all our needs.

We have to make all our requests known to God.

God move when we pray, as prayer gives Him the authority.

Pray also with THANKSGIVING . Thank you Lord for supplying all my needs .

Prayer of thanksgiving should be our lifestyle just like FAITH. As Faith cannot be separated from our prayer lives.

Thank you Lord for answering our prayers . Amen

Vision

Contending for new grounds . See/ ENQUIRE,RESEARCH before you possess. Let my people see where they are going .

““Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”

And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.”

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭13:2, 25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.”

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭13:27-28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants ( the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.””

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭13:31-33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Be aware of your next place of influence.

The next level requires FOCUS, ONE NESS, UNITY, togetherness, courage etc

Where there is two visions there is division

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.”

‭‭John‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭
