WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Pray this year ends well....



Hi friends, brothers and sisters,
I pray this year ends well for each of us. Pray the Lord will help us forgive those who hurt us, forget the pain that came our way, say sorry to those we hurt.
It's sad precious, vital relationships on earth end over misunderstanding, lack of communication, ego, pride and refusing to hear the truth.
If only they had taken time to find out the truth, spend quality time with each other and understand many relationships will stay on!
If people are really valued a relationship they sure would take time to mend, build and heal broken relationships. 
If the friendships and relationships we
share with each other has been good, meaningful, Christ-centered, why would  misunderstandings, disagreements wipe out all the good memories?
Christ's love in our hearts should sure  help us love at all times.
Prov 17:17 says, " A friend loves at all times,"
I know it takes a lot of understanding, trust and time,to build a strong relationship with our spouse, kids and friends. And if our relationship is based on Christ we sure will not call it quits when the going gets tough.
What kind of a relationship we are in with the ones we love?
 'The greatest evidence of genuine friendship or relationship is loyalty (loving at all times).
True Godly love, as said in
1 CORINTHIANS 13:7"It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres."
One thing I've learnt, in any relationship we should have a genuine desire to give, with minimal expectations to receive.

Someone said, "Life does-not give us people we want; instead it gives us people we need, to love us, to hurt us but finally to make us exactly how God wants us to be."
People in our lives are precious let's value them.
                Every relationship on earth, helps us to learn more lessons and make us stronger individuals.
Any relationships that are Christ based, never dies.
 If a relationship was true God can restore it.
Are you struggling in a relationship with your kid, sibling, spouse, parents, friends?
Lost a loved one to misunderstanding?
Don't give up hope. Our Heavenly Father, is a God of restoration.
" Trust the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)
JESUS helps to build bridges and not walls.
He gives live and life abundant.
When we have a misunderstanding with a loved one, let's reach out and try to find out what the truth is. Let us be willing to talk and listen.
Let's be willing to be transparent and open in relationships we value.
If we judge without knowing the truth and choose to walk away angrily without a word, we will end up loosing valuable relationships.
Let's pray the Lord's love will always rule and reign in our hearts.
Let's not give up on people who fail to understand us. Let's be willing to say "Sorry" when we hurt people.
Let's always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and let us seek His help to remove all anger and resentment from our midst us.
PSALM 133: 1 How good and pleasant it is
       when brothers live together in unity!
 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
       running down on the beard,
       running down on Aaron's beard,
       down upon the collar of his robes.

 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
       were falling on Mount Zion.
       For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
       even life forevermore.
David states here that unity is pleasant and precious.
It takes years to build a valuable relationship. Let's not allow disagreement, misunderstandings break the unity.
We believers are called to live in unity. Unity does not mean we have to agree on everything but it's learning to walk together and helping each other. 
YSIC,
Julie
Something I read that blessed me:
True love/friendship gives without expecting anything...in return.
It's letting go of all expectation.
It's building bridges and not walls.
It's speaking the truth in love.
It's never lost by loving..but by holding back.
And...
True love/friendship...
Is not how you forget but how you forgive...
Is not how you listen but how you understand...
Is not how you see but how you feel..
Is not how to let go of it but how you hold on to it,
Is not the urge to shut away but keeping your heart open.
JESUS YOU ARE MY  BEST FRIEND WHO'S ALWAYS TRUE!
"Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve
your blessings in stone."

~Deliverance Prayer~(Author Unknown)



~~Deliverance Prayer for ----

If the person for whom you are interceding has not confessed Jesus as Savior and Lord, pray specifically for his/her salvation if you have not already done so. Stand and thank the Father that it is done in the name of Jesus. Then pray the following:(Put the name of the person you are praying for in the blanks) 

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come boldly to Your throne of grace and present ----- before You. I stand in the gap and intercede in behalf of ----- knowing that the Holy Spirit within me takes hold together with me against the evils that would attempt and hold ----- in bondage. 

I unwrap ----- from the bonds of wickedness with my prayers and take my shield of faith and quench every fiery dart of the adversary that would come against ----- in Jesus name. 

Father, You say that whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever I loose on earth is loosed in heaven. You say for me to cast out demons in the name of Jesus.

I speak to you Satan, and to the principalities, the powers, the rulers of the darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places and the demonic spirits of depression, confusion, manipulation, doubt, lust, hatred, lies assigned to ------ and I take authority over you and bind you away from ----- in the mighty name of Jesus. You loose ------ and let him go free in the mighty name of Jesus. 

I demand that you desist in your maneuvers now, Satan, you are spoiled and defeated.

You have no authority to take hold a child of God. You must release ------ and bow to the blood of Jesus Christ! 

Ministering spirits of God, you go forth in the name of Jesus and provide the necessary help to and assistance for ----- to be released. 

Father, I have laid hold of ------'s salvation and his confession of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 

I speak of things that are not as though they were, for I choose to look at the unseen the eternal things of God. I say that Satan shall not get an advantage over -----=: for I am not ignorant of Satan's devices. 

I resist Satan and he has to run in terror from ------ in the name of Jesus. I give Satan no place in -------. I plead the blood of the Jesus over ------ for Satan and his cohorts are overcome by the blood and Your Word. 

I thank You, Father, that I tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy in ------'s behalf. 

------ is delivered from this present evil world. He is delivered from the powers of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of Jesus!

Father, I ask You now to fill those vacant places within ------ with Your redemption, Your Word, Your love, Your wisdom, Your righteousness,and Your revelation knowledge in the name of Jesus. 

I thank You, Father, that ------ is redeemed by the blood of Jesus and out of the hands of Satan.

He is justified and made righteous by the blood of Jesus and belongs to You spirit, mind, soul, and body. 

I thank You that every enslaving yoke is broken, for he will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power in the name of Jesus. 

------ has escaped the snare of the devil who has held him captive and henceforth does Your will,Father, which is to glorify You in his spirit, mind, soul, and body. 

Thank You, Father, that Jesus was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. Satan's works are destroyed in ------'s life in the name of Jesus. 

Hallelujah! ------ walks in the Kingdom of God which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit! Praise the Lord!
amen and amen in Jesus name amen 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once this prayer has been prayed, thank the Father that Satan and his cohorts are bound. Stand firm, fixed, immovable, and steadfast on your confessions of faith as you intercede on this person's behalf for greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1John 4:4).
