CLOSER September 25

GOOD NEWS from Proverbs 18: 24

24 There are “friends” who pretend to be friends, but one who has reliable friends soon comes to prosperity; and then there is A Friend who sticks CLOSER than a brother! 

Dear Heavenly Father God and Faithful Friend,

Thank You for being CLOSER and more loyal to me than my own flesh and blood!

You are ALWAYS CLOSELY looking out for my best interests even when I think I know better.

As I walk CLOSER with You, may the walls that try to separate me from Your Kindness, Goodness, Joyfullness, Belief and Praise come toppling down underneath the weight of  Your Love and my praise.

Your Pathway of Peace is so much better when I walk on it CLOSE to You

Though I often think I know what I want, on CLOSER inspection I find that Your Wisdom is more grounded than my own understanding which shifts with the seasons.

You are infinitely the same God, as is Your Boundless Mercy, Your Steadfast and Deep Love, and Your CLOSE Affection.

Today Lord, may I CLOSELY rely on Your Continuous Love and Wisdom.

You are a CLOSER and better friend than any I have ever known.

You are ALWAYS with me and You are ALWAYS committed to me.

Your capacity to love me is One Of A Kind.

I am so grateful to be the object of Your CLOSE and Tender Care. 

Thank You for holding me CLOSE and ALWAYS Loving me to life.

JC: Pour ALL of your energy into trusting and praising Me. It is through trust you stay CLOSELY  connected to Me, aware of My Presence every step of your life.  Focus your CLOSE attention on the path just ahead of you and on The One Who is ALWAYS CLOSEST to your side.

Father God, let the Fire of God fall afreash on the JCFAMILY/WARRIORS! On this day and in the season and for the year ahead: We declare Victory over the enemy, over every tactic, every lie, strategy, plan and ploy against us, our families, friends and nations. These shall ALL be defeated by tbe Blood of Jesus. We command that the kingdom of darkness be stripped of any spiritual armor and be separated from every power or principality from where their power is drawn. Holy Spirit, we ask for a hedge of light and a wall of fire to make us impregnable and invisible to the kingdom of darkness.

In the name and in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, we hereby order a cease-and-desist order against ALL the enemies plots, plans and schemes against us RIGHT HERE and RIGHT NOW in TODAY and in this SEASON and the YEAR ahead! We bind ALL the functions of the enemy and send great destruction and chaos into its camp. We send the enemy to the pit or to the Lord Jesus Christ for Him to deal with them as He sees fit!

Holy Spiri, fill us afresh with renewed strength, hope, love, joy, and peace to share with whom ever you postion us to do so. Above all we praise and honor You and declare our love and gratitude to You on this day. And may our mouths be opened and may the Roar of the Lord break forth like the voice of many waters, destroying every work of the enemy!

In Our Mighty King Jesus' Name. and at that Name EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, AMEN and AMEN. Great Love and many Blessings to my Beloved JCFAMILY/WARRIORS! JJ

(The phrase "God inhabits the praises of His People" comes from the King James Bible translation of Psalm 22:3, which says, "But Only Thou art holy, O Thou Who inhabitest the praises of Israel." Biblical Source and Translations King James Version (KJV): Uses the word "inhabitest," meaning to dwell or live in. Other Translations: Modern translations like the English Standard Version render it as "enthroned on the praises of Israel." Hebrew Meaning: The key word (yashab) means to sit, dwell, or be enthroned like a king on a seat of honor. What It Means God's Presence: It paints a royal picture of God reigning as King in the middle of His worshiping people. Not Limited: It does not mean God is absent until people start singing; God is everywhere at all times. Focus in Suffering: King David wrote Psalm 22 while feeling abandoned, yet he chose to praise God and remember His Holiness and past rescues. Key Takeaways Shift in Focus: Praise helps turn a person's attention away from hard times and toward God's character. A Spiritual Home: Worship creates an open atmosphere where God's Presence and Power are felt and honored among believers)
