Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

We have our “marching orders”. Onward, Christian soldiers!🙏
Love Like the Galaxy – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood – The Animals
A mischievous young girl takes revenge on the bullies in her life. Chinese historical. I LOVE this one!!!
Good morning Mary!!
Thanks for your snicker 🤭 this Monday morning!! Great start to the day!!!
🥰
It’s so good to “see” you, Feral Cat. Your moniker always warms my heart. The first feral litter I ever took in was in California. The babies were pink! Only after we fought them in the bathtub did I realize it was blood from fleas. We’re too old to take in any anymore, so I just feed anyone who comes from the library window.
Oh… so you’re the reason my “friends” disappear at night!!
Good job Mary!!
And good to “see” you back here.. hope you can stay awhile 😘
Perhaps it was lockdown funk, but I spent the last half year glued to watching asian dramas and not creating a single, darn thing – video or writing. Sooooo frustrating. Out of nowhere, the urge suddenly descended on me again and I took advantage of the opportunity to make these 8. I think there are two more still inside screaming to get out, then I’ll try logging another show and seeing if anything else inspires. By the way, the skunks are a little too active, so I’ll suggest to them that you’re missing them and they should go back to visit! I’m keeping the raccoon babies!
Mary…even Rachmaninoff, after his disastrously received first symphony had an extended period of funk…and he came roaring back to produce his most monumental and loved works. You were just recharging your creative batteries. Well done! From one fellow feeder of God’s needful creatures to another.💕
I have to admit to also feeling I’m in a race against time as I pass my 78th birthday. My last video was number 915. I’ve always hoped I’d make it past 1000 but one does wonder. These little videos are my life’s art and, since I’m on no social media sites, it feels good to be sharing them here among friends.
And we all appreciate them. It’s so wonderful to have a passion for something beautiful, all of which we must hold on to, as the world around us tries to destroy the very things which are civilized and precious. Thank you for using this forum to share your work. And keep on keeping on. We are the beneficiaries of all your efforts and are so grateful.💕
When I was writing the book about my grandfather, I discovered a newspaper article from ten years after his death reminding people of his begging readers to feed the birds in winter. Do you ever wonder about the long line of bird and animal feeders that we’ve been privileged to join? That we share that same empathy and love of living creatures with people who lived centuries ago. And we’ll leave our own requests for the children of the future to protect the warm hearts that beat under a coat of fur or feathers.
Oh my….my heart. And it is after my heart that article. We can do only within our sphere, and I probably worry inordinately about our feathered friends and other creatures in the wild, especially in the winter. But wherever we have been, we have always said that we will see no creature go hungry if we can help it. If we can make a difference for those, then we will do it happily.
Hoping this works. Just pulled the articles out of the book. Going on 96 years ago he wrote this.

Oh how lovely! Thank you!!🤗
Wow, how cool is that about your grandfather!
I LOVE family stories and wish we heard more on this group about our mothers and fathers and great grandparents. Every family has stories that are just as good as TV shows. We keep these long gone souls alive in the memories we share with others.
And let’s try this with HTML to see if it makes a link.

My heart was broken thinking about all the birds and critters being pummeled about in Hurricane Ian. I just have to tell myself the Lord will care for them.
All His creation in the wild…I felt the same.
And I’m reminded by your comment of one of my favorite wild animal videos:
Wild Animals and the People Who Love Them – Images From Daily Mail – Joseph Blanchard
Thank you for posting your video mary!
I could watch hours of that footage! And the music was great choice!
Good morning Cat!💜
Morning, G! Much cooler here with a brisk breeze. October has arrived!!😍😘

on his Hello Kitty plate no less
We had spagetti and meatballs and garlic bread for dinner Friday. Sherry always makes more meatballs than we can eat with it so we can make meatball and mozzarella hoagies later. BTW that cat is pretty much exactly what Gabbie looks like.
This morning it was quite chilly for our area. Sweet Pea was outside the living room windows looking at me having my coffee. So I opened the door and invited her in. She was waiting for the help to pick her up and carry her inside. So I did.
I made spaghetti sauce with two green apples a few days ago, but was afraid to allow my furballs to clean the plate as they’re pure white and just returned from the groomers. When in deep need of comfort food, I always go back to mother’s refried spaghetti. Hamburger and pasta cooked separately, then returned to the pan with catsup until it dries out. She was a wonderful mother and a terrible cook.
😊💕
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Good morning, Mr jay. Another good selection to get this Monday started. Hoping your week is full tongue brim with blessings from on High🤗
Maidin Mhaith Betsy Blessings upon your house also 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Mornin’ jay! 😉
🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Good morning Bet! Another busy day for me. After working out got to work on my retreat talk then in the afternoon head to New Braunfels for our 10 yo grandson’s play showcase.
How did I miss this?? My youngest used to live in New Brandeis before moving to Midland. They loved it. I’m sure the play was perfect. And I’m sure he was thrilled you were there😘
This is just the teaser. The play is next month. 😍😘
Morning jay!
Morning Gramps 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Howdy Garrison 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Good morning, Garrison. And there she is…a pianist with just the right touch for this beautiful Chopin concerto. So light and pleasurable. And one that captured me when I was still a teenager. So a whole bunch of memories with this one, dear sir. As always, may there be so many blessings delivered to you it will be impossible to count them all.😘
My Kindle for some reason does not let me successfully link to most videos…I have no idea why…BUT…
I am leaving you with the name of another Polish composer and his most joyful piano composition which lifts my heart as no other.
*******
Ignacy Feliks Dobrzynski
Piano Concerto in A-flat, Op 2 (1824)
*******
It is on Youtube. I so much hope when you need a break, you will find and listen to it. It is as lyrical as Chopin’s are, dare I say even more so. And since you posted one of the two Chopin wrote, you’ve given me the opportunity to present this one as a gift for you. I promise that it is a mood lifter extraordinaire. 😘
🙂
Mornin’ Bet. The first real cold front has finally arrived here in Texas. This is a poignant time for me. Early fall was my wife’s favorite time of the year. Where early fall was never an emotional landmark, it sure is now . . . 🙂
Howdy Garrison!
It is brisk here and much cooler. Looks as if the low for us here in the morning (38 degrees) will be on Wednesday. Noticing leaves are starting to turn, with the greens of summer decidedly less vibrant, even browning. It’s hard to realize the month we’ve looked forward to is over half gone.
I understand your emotions on the arrival of autumn, Garrison. In ways that are hard to explain, because there are just some that do not lend themselves to words. And I know these landmarks, as you so rightly call them probably show themselves when you perhaps least expect them. I know her passing is still raw and fresh. In time, I hope they settle from their abruptness into quiet remembrance. I pray that for you, dear friend. 🙏😘
Same here Bet. Earlier the weather app was showing 37 for Wednesday morning but they changed it back to high 40s – low 50s. And in a couple of days we’ll be back to low 80s. At least we got almost 0.4 inch of rain with the cool front and I didn’t have to water the garden this morning. The fall tomato crop is coming in full blast and we are about to start having cucumbers, too. 🙌🙌🙌
We had a splodge of rain the other day and were grateful for it, though the night before it was predicted on my phone to be continuous with lightning and thunder all day. Didn’t happen unfortunately. Ah well…next time….🙏
Oh and homegrown tomats (as my mother in law used to call them? YUM!!
They are sure yummy. The forecast for us went from half an inch to 4 inches to quarter. Got a bit more than that so we are thankful. ❤️
Hey Garrison–I’ve been wanting to run something by you, being the musical discerning person you are. As I’ve gotten older I find myself either more able or just developing an ability to hear not just the song but more so the components-it’s like I’m picking them all out at the same time. This despite my wife claiming I’m going deaf. It definitely raises the enjoyment quotient. Thoughts?
I think that’s largely a function of familiarity. I think I can whistle the Chopin Piano Concerto #1.
Sounds like a recording to be posted
Joe, I have always been able to do that, and it really makes my enjoyment of music (for me, classical) more intense. I think it allows you also to feel it on a much deeper level. It’s a gift….enjoy😊
Thanks B…maybe my brain has nothing better to do 🙂
😁😁😁!!
Interesting. I wonder?

Very much needed, WP. Amen.
Oh praise You Heavenly Father
I’m about 79 pages into this book + can highly recommend it: The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.
The author knows his Bible + does a good job contrasting it with texts of the New Age Movement + does a good job connecting it to the Davos Crew-types. It was published in 1983. Below is a Parler link to some quotes:
The Average Person accepts that the Nazis were often Occultists but doesn’t like to imagine the people who run CERN or the the IMF might be as well…
https://parler.com/feed/bbeaf614-1bd1-41bd-9dd7-7d7234308c53
Here’s an example: He quotes from Revelation 13:18 about 666. Then notes:
[Q]
Alice Baily on pages 78-79 of The Rays and the Initiations calls 666 a sacred number and shows how they use Occult numerology to calculate it….The Keys of Enoch, another New Age “Bible”, instructs the reader to use the numberical sequence 6-6-6 as frequently as possible. Use of the number is to attract “higher intelligence” from either another dimension or outer space to our planet.
[EQ]
Remember, when Apple was 1st getting started, the 1st home PC they made they sold for $666.
Wozniak gave some ridiculous answer when asked why he picked that # of all #s. But just remember — Take a Bite Out of the Apple was their early slogan…
— It doesn’t matter whether or not you believe in the Bible or the Occult or the Supernatural altogether.
If many Powerful people who can influence whole Industries + national economies or what Laws are passed do share common beliefs – it make a big difference…
I found Jim Marrs’ ideas on how the Nazis “won” WW2 + took over the West hard to swallow + still do, but I’m going to have to reread some. Here is a quote from Hidden Dangerous of the Rainbow:
[Q]
I could have easily whited out every reference to Nazism, the Third Reich, and Germany [in a book about Occult Germany] and replace it with The New Age Movement – a worldwide phenomenon… The cosmology + cosmogony of the NAM and Nazism were identical. From the “Master Race” theory thru evolution through swastikas, there was total identity between these 2 political movements. Tibetan Buddhism + Theosophy played an important role in each. Initiates, adepts, and masters were an important part of each. The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to come together.
[EQ]
Now I think I get those recent memes where someone turned the Rainbow flag of the LGBTQ+ movement into different positions together to make a rainbow swastika…
And of course, I’ve always thought, who but satan would try to appropriate and debauche the sacred symbol of God’s holy promise to mankind. satan is getting bolder as he struts this earth looking for and collecting souls.
Jesus only condemned the religious leaders, why is that? Well, place any “ism” in place of religion and you see why. Also why God had such a problem with Saul as king, he wanted no king, no leader from man only his spirit.
Ancient church was in touch with heaven, the light of heaven shined on us humans. We have lost that for religion. Mans creation. God made the laws of the Old Testament so hard it was impossible for a reason. Jesus walked it out because it was himself that was the law, made it look easy.
Think about how humans would have to cultivate a relationship with our lord at birth to function in a society with no government just God. There would be no compromise in that world because life would be understood as God and only God. As it should be.
You would learn every issue to follow God, reading writing, meditation which is a form of prayer. All God gave us would be understood and life would transform on this planet. A God that knows everything would be available for us at all times. He is now we just ignore him for our own ways. Difficult even thinking about it as our opportunities are so limited as we are.
“There would be no compromise in that world because life would be understood as God and only God.” Indeed, what you are describing here is a world after redemption. In such a world the spiritual awareness will be so powerful and shared by all, while still maintaining one’s individual soul. Yes it is an Utopia, a Godly Utopia, without need for police/military or even government as we know it today. From where we stand today, it appears an almost impossible fantasy, even nonsense to many. Yet I for one believe it is indeed possible, may well be a lot easier than we may imagine, and is promised to us by God. Our job is to do everything in our power to help bring about such a world, by faith, action and prayer. When enough of us are sincere, the Creator will have no choice (so to speak) but to act in His loving kindness.
The fundamental flaw with New Ageism + a more is – a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature.
It is the Luciferian deception: that you can become God…
Lucifer did not tell Eve that the difference between being “like God” + being God is —— Infinite.
Nor that when we gained the knowledge of the difference between Good + Evil, we would become unable to walk solely in the good. That we would be prone to the vices of evil.
That is why ZERO efforts to make ourselves Illuminated or Pure or a god will ever save us. We need a savior. One capable of atoning for our sinful natures. We have one. He died on a cross 2,000 years ago + arose on the 3rd day. God come in our flesh to rectify the sins of all who will accept it.
Wow iggy!!! I could hug you!!
Didn’t think anyone I would run into read this.. I read it a decade ago, after finishing it… I was shocked but prepared mentally for what came since… and the hits just keep coming!!!!
I don’t ordinarily recommend a book…but when I do, it’s this one 😉
Thank you for brightening my day.. 😘
I noticed Kindle doesn’t carry it. I give a wild guess that that tends to happen to books like this……but New Age ones get never go out + get quick audiobooks, I’d bet….
I prefer to buy my books as well, this one, I was grateful I could download for free, my exception to my rule.
And, happy to report, you can still find it elsewhere for “free” on the webs…. Feral verified this morning 😉

Reply to rah
Yep,Agreed…MAGA ALL THE WAY! for me also.Just curious though,if I may…one question…IF TRUMP DOESN’T RUN,who do you think would be a good candidate for us ‘deplorables’ in 2024? Would be interested to know YOUR opinion…who would be a good candidate sir?
That is a tough question and one I am not prepared to answer at this time. It is not just a matter of who is MAGA but who has a chance to win! It would probably a moot point though since if Trump does not run then I believe De Santis is a shoe in even if Trump does not endorse him. I am sure that Trump, if he decides not to run and does not endorse De Santis, will endorse a candidate but have no idea who it would be.
My personal list of who I would not support is huge though and includes every Republican politician that has been hyped as a possible candidate by the press and of course every single democrat. Haley, Christy, Pence, are all repugnant.
Hoping we don’t have to pick another.. Go Trump 👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Thanks for your reply Rah,and your honest opinion in the matter.I agree with you and my point of the post I made was that I don’t think we should put all our eggs in one basket,so to speak,and completely ‘write off’ DeSantis.He MAY end up having to be our choice in 2024,whether we like it or not.I think that if he did run as a result of Mr. Trump’s choosing not to,that he would receive that endorsement,in my opinion.
If Mr. Trump decides to run,then all this speculation will be a moot point obviously.I like them both,but if Mr. Trump does run,and Gov. DeSantis chooses to run against him,well,that is an entirely different matter.I tend to think that our very good governor would not be that foolish.
I like to be prepared as possible in my work and daily life.I also like to be prepared politically for what choices we may have coming up.We have our dear Mr. Trump up ‘at bat’,DeSantis ‘on deck’,but no one ‘in the whole’.That’s where I direct my focus right now,in the light of ‘being prepared’.I don’t have an answer for that at the moment.
I hear names being bantered about for VP for Mr. Trump.Aside from absurd choices in my opinion,I like Devin Nunes.He’s smart,seemingly loyal and low key.Whoever that person is,I think they NEED to be low key.Putting two ‘alphas’ together usually doesn’t mix well.
As far as who I wouldn’t support,ha,that list is endless.
Again,thanks for your sincere reply,and God go with you on your travels and keep you safe.I love reading about them,and the weather posts also.Casco 🙂
Good morning, Casco. After a robust discussion the other day on Sundance’s thread about Ryan crawling out of the sewer to endorse DeSantis, I’ve come to this conclusion…
A day is a long time in politics, but two years? All can and will change. Of this we can be assured. The slate of players will no doubt change. The future is one big cauldron of “Ifs”.
As British PM Macmillan answered when asked once long ago what could throw his government off course, he said, ” Events, dear boy, events.”
Quite right.
And there will be many, many events before we see 2024. I am putting myself into the “one day at a time” mode. I love intellectual exercises. They keep me young(er than my chronological age, at least😉). But on this question and for myself, I wait to see what our Lord’s “timetable ” will be. That way I can keep what is left of my peace…and my sanity. Blessings to you, my dear friend.😘
I think Ryan discovered he’s persona non grata and is trying to be relevant, put Christie in that grou as well
Testing the waters perhaps…and now he knows they are stone cold…and he can crawl back into his fetid sewer.
I agree Betsy.. so many turns in the road of life one never knows.. exactly what’s around the corner 🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
No we absolutely do not, Jim. Nothing is predictable or certain, except for the love, mercy, and grace of Almighty God. I’ll hold on to that, my friend.🙏😊
🇺🇸💪😀👍
😊
Great morning to you Bet.I concur with those sentiments.We see ‘October surprises’ on a weekly basis anymore,whether it’s October or not.
I had mentioned just being a little annoyed at the praising or dismissal of whoever the cult of personality de jour is at the moment.Since in the big picture,this really doesn’t matter to me,I should probably just remain silent.
Blessings to you gran amiga mia,and have a most wonderful week.Blessed be God forever.Casco 🙂 🙂 🙂
You do the same, Casco. Be well. Love ya.😘
Good morning Casco! Methinks that the October surprises just like race have been ridden hard and put up wet. After so much crying wolf there’s no bite left.
Hello Ms. Betsy,
I’m in your camp – one day at a time!
Now in my later years, I want to protect my peace and enjoy whatever time is left!
All of this “what if” speculation can bring much anxiety.
Besides, the Lord did say, Do not worry about tomorrow. Also, He says our times are in His hands.
What better place to be!
Ticket stub memories.. rare times..
Thin Lizzy..
I didn’t realize it at the time.. but it was a twofer..
it was during the time when Gary Moore was playing guitar in the band..
I remember I was down on the floor.. no more than fifty feet from the stage..
if I say anymore.. it could doxx me.. so only thirty seconds of Phil and Gary audio..

The Key of the Greater Work
…I say to you, he who believes in Me,…greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. —John 14:12
Prayer does not equip us for greater works— prayer is the greater work. Yet we think of prayer as some commonsense exercise of our higher powers that simply prepares us for God’s work. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, prayer is the working of the miracle of redemption in me, which produces the miracle of redemption in others, through the power of God. The way fruit remains firm is through prayer, but remember that it is prayer based on the agony of Christ in redemption, not on my own agony. We must go to God as His child, because only a child gets his prayers answered; a “wise” man does not (see Matthew 11:25).
Prayer is the battle, and it makes no difference where you are. However God may engineer your circumstances, your duty is to pray. Never allow yourself this thought, “I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly cannot be used where you have not yet been placed. Wherever God has placed you and whatever your circumstances, you should pray, continually offering up prayers to Him. And He promises, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do…” (John 14:13). Yet we refuse to pray unless it thrills or excites us, which is the most intense form of spiritual selfishness. We must learn to work according to God’s direction, and He says to pray. “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Matthew 9:38).
There is nothing thrilling about a laboring person’s work, but it is the laboring person who makes the ideas of the genius possible. And it is the laboring saint who makes the ideas of his Master possible. When you labor at prayer, from God’s perspective there are always results. What an astonishment it will be to see, once the veil is finally lifted, all the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you have been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.

“Once the veil is finally lifted.” Indeed, this clarifies in a short phrase.
Good morning, Cat😘🙏
The great extinction events in earths history.
First a necessary explanation of the Taxonomical phylogenetic tree which is the most recent of several systems by which life has classified into categories or groups. Oriiginally scientists assigned organisms to their positions to the tree based on physical characteristics and still do when it is not possible to extract and study genetic material (DNA).
A single designation in this scheme is a taxon (plural taxa). A taxon is assigned a rank and is placed at a particular level in the hierarchy reflecting evolutionary relationships.
From greatest to smallest the classifications are
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Further divisions can be made into sub-classes, sub-orders, sub-families etc.
Theoretically all member of the same species can breed. Some species in the same genus can breed but when they do produce sterile off spring like a horse mating with a donkey producing a mule.
&ehk=EJUaSJ7u9ykboGQKa3c%2b3n7JWPwjEN5UhojHOEhddyk%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0
Now on to the great extinction events:
The resistance to the idea of species extinction during Jefferson’s life time was based on the belief that everything the God created was perfect and so could not die out. It was similar to the church/state dogma that Galileo faced but not so organized since no particular church dominated and so those that proposed the idea were not condemned as religious heretics but their ideas were strongly resisted and criticized until overwhelming evidence could be produced to back them.
It is not just church/religious beliefs that have been the power that have tried to squelch new ideas and disparage and punish their authors. Scientists create their own dogmas by consensus and defend them vehemently. We see it all the time in the clash over climate change today and in that clash the state is the major player in continuing the dogma of CO2 being the control knob of climate. It is as we have regressed back to the way things were in Galileo’s time.
The great extinctions seem to be great wasteful endings but in reality they are also new beginnings for new and more advanced forms of life. Here is the list:
Makes one wonder if mankind has a similar fate (extinction) coming down the road…🤔..I don’t worry about it, I figure I’m here by God’s plan and will depart by His plan also.. speaking for myself I could NOT have planned my life any better than it has been for me..🤣👍

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
