Faith In Jesus Christ
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Jesus said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Jesus also said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, people cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for their lives. The apostle Paul wrote, ” For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) and that “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23) that is, eternal separation from a holy and perfect God.
Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for sin. Through Christ you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life and be assured of eternity with Him. ” God commends his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us.” ( Romans 5:8 ) “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) Jesus said, ” I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. The bible says, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12) Salvation is a gift of God. We receive Jesus Christ through faith. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) When we receive Christ, we experience a new birth, as Jesus described in John 3:7, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” We receive Christ by personal invitation, ” Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20)
Repenting and turning to God. In Romans 10:8-10, we are given the words of repentance to say,
But what does it say?
The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart —that is, the word of faith that we are proclaiming: For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart it is believed for righteousness, and with the mouth it is confessed for salvation..
Father I have sinned against heaven and against Thee, blot out my sin, wash me, and forgive me. Jesus you are my Savior, my Lord, and my Redeemer. Jesus, you died for my sins and I thank you. Lord save me. I surrender my will Lord, let your will be done in my life. Thank you for your loving kindness and tender mercies. Thank you for your saving grace. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me a new beginning. Thank you for making me a new creation- at this very moment I have been made NEW.
I worship you, honor you, and praise your holy name. I pray all things in Jesus Name. Amen.
Read the Bible and talk to the Lord in prayer every day. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12-13)

A Prayer for Healing and Deliverance
A prayer to remove the spiritual blocks that manifest through sickness.
Lord Jesus Christ, please forgive me for spiritual blocks to healing: unforgiveness, ignorance or lack of knowledge, no relationship with God according to knowledge, personal and family sins, not having faith in God, the need to see a miracle, looking for signs and wonders, expecting god to heal on one’s own terms, looking to man rather than God, not being honest and transparent, flagrant sin or habitual sin, robbing God in tithes and offerings, sin of our parents, looking to symptoms and not to the Healer, letting fear enter your heart, failure to get away in prayer and fasting, improper care of the body, not discerning the Lord’s Body, touching God’s anointed leaders, immoderate eating, pure unbelief, failing to keep our life filled up with God, not resisting the enemy, just giving up, looking for repeated healings instead of divine health, rejecting healing in the Atonement as part of the covenant for today, trying to bypass the penalty of the curse, murmuring and complaining, hating and not obeying instruction.
I forgive my ancestors, descendants and anyone else that has sinned against me to curse me with weakness, sickness, disease, illness, injury and trauma. Please forgive me for my sins that would open me up to these attacks and I forgive myself for my mistakes. I ask this is The Name Of Jesus Christ.
In THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, I now command the evil spirits and their families to leave me that came in through spiritual blocks to healing and have manifested in illness and disease in the body: Fear, anxiety, stress, anger, rage, self hatred, bitterness, low self esteem, grief, guilt. Amen.
Pastor Gabriel’s Prayer
A prayer to pray for our nation and God’s people everywhere.
We Pray for Strength and Courage now. For Strength and Courage are brothers that agree, and it’s hard to embrace one without the other.
Heavenly Father we beseech thee, let the spirit of Strength and Courage rest upon us now, in such a day as this. Let us not regard earthly wealth and riches as our strength, but let us regard with our whole heart that which is true and that which is heavenly treasure. For The Arm of Yahweh only, is the strength of a goodly nation, and is the definitive source of the survival of mankind. Oh Lord our God, there is none like you in Heaven or on earth or beneath the earth. For You have measured the expanse of heavens in the palm of your hand. We beseech thee, Oh Great and Mighty King. Give unto us, a plan for your people. Reveal unto us, what you will have us do today. Let thy will be done according to thy word. Your will, and not the will of strangers. Your will Oh King, and not the will of the adversary.
These things we pray in the mighty name of Yeshua, Son of the living God. Amen

A Prayer of Forgiveness
A prayer for release from bitter roots, abuse, and judgements.
Dear Lord, you have told me in Matthew chapter 6:14 that forgiveness is not an option. You simply said I have to choose, yet I find it difficult to do that. Do for me what I cannot do for myself.
By myself, I find it difficult to forgive. But, for Your sake, Jesus, as an act of my will, I give You any right I’ve felt was mine to put anyone, even myself, into a debtor’s prison. Lord, I release those who have offended me (you can name them here) I forgive them for their offenses Jesus. Before You as my witness, they owe me nothing. I give You the right to hold them accountable for their actions Lord. Thank you Jesus, for accomplishing forgiveness for me.
As a child I was not responsible for the abuse that happened to me. Forgive me of my bitterness, judgments, feelings of anger, resentment, and even in some cases hate. Help me to forgive myself. Release me from strong holds of unforgiveness to receive the forgiveness You want to give. Have mercy on me and teach me Your ways.
I often want those who hurt me to hurt like I do. I want them to know the enormity of what they have done to me, and I want them to be sorry- but that is vengeance, and that is your territory. Forgive me for trying to take Your place. Forgive me for my desire for vengeance. Thank you that I do not have to pretend it is all right, or that it does not hurt or matter. Thank you for listening to my expressions of pain. My hurt, and my sin matter to You, so much that You provided forgiveness for my healing.
Lord, wash my mind, spirit, and emotions of pain, resentment, and anger and clothe me in Your righteousness. I know my heart will heal in time. In time I will be able to forgive emotionally as well- I will be able to feel the emotion of being forgiven and of extending forgiveness. Until then, Lord, keep mending my wounded spirit and bruised heart. Thank you for restoring relationships with others when it is wise to do so, and especially for restoring my relationship with You and the Father. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
