Not By My Strength

“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 NASB

God, we trust You, we want to be a part of the remnant that refuses to bend to the pressures of society in these last days. Oh Lord we need Your strength, Your resolve and steadfast hope, there is pressure to modify and deny our belief in You king Jesus, forgive us! You are mighty glorious unchanging everlasting, we declare that society will not determine the standard by which we live and that by Your grace Lord we will live according to the teaching and dictates of the Bible. Please help us Holy Spirit, we need You to keep us upright, to stand brave in these crazy times and to impart Your wisdom to others who are feeling the same pressure to conform to the dictates of a quickly decaying world. We give You all the glory God all the honor, all the praise, we worship You jesus  It is not by our strength or might, we repent, yes Lord forgive us our trespass, We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
