'Repeated Pleadings!' β Mark 14:39
Key Thought
So often we find ourselves praying the same prayer several times. Is doing so wrong? Should we keep on praying? How often is too often to pray the same prayer? These are legitimate questions. We do know several things for certain:
Even though Jesus requested God to let the coming crisis of the cross be lifted from him, God did not grant his request. Jesus asked that God's will be done and not his own. We are told that Jesus' prayer was heard, [1] which is a reminder that God can hear us and answer "No" to our prayer. He may have other and bigger plans for us if we are willing to submit ourselves to his will.
Jesus prayed for deliverance three times while submitting himself to the will of God. [2] Paul also prayed three times for his thorn in the flesh to be removed as well. [3] So I believe that we should seek the Lord repeatedly about issues. In fact, Jesus encourages us to keep on praying and not lose heart, [4] suggesting that three times is not a biblical limit on repeated prayers. Yet, it is crucial that we are willing to leave things in God's hands to answer in the way that glorifies him.
Since Jesus faced such desperate trials, we can be assured that we can go to the Father through him and know that we are heard β that not just our words are heard, but also the unspeakable emotions of our hearts. [5]
[1] Hebrews 5:7-9.
[2] Matthew 26:44.
[3] 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.
[4] Luke 18:1-8.
[5] Romans 8:26-27.
Today's Prayer
Father, please hear the prayer of my heart. I want to ask you to please ... (add your own prayer concerns here.) Yet Father, not what I want, but may your will be done in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

One of the sad things that happen to some believers is that they give up or turn back at the edge of their breakthrough and fullness. The implication of this is that all the genuine and time-draining efforts as well as resources they had deployed so far will be wasted and there will be nothing to show for them. This is the spirit of labour loss, non-achievement and profitless hardwork.
Beloved, there is a spirit that makes people to lose hope, get discouraged and give up the dreams and visions they once held so dearly. That evil spirit attacks its victim with fear, unbelief, worry, discouragement, error and failure. The Bible warns us not to be ignorant of the devices of the devil. You must fight against any spirit that wants you to give up at the edge of your fulfilment, breakthrough and fullness. The agenda of that spirit is to make you a failure and an object of mockery. You must abort that agenda through prayer and press on to breakthrough and fulfilment.
In our Fire Scripture for today, we read about Israel turning back from Canaan. Though they were so close to the Promised Land, full of milk and honey and had travelled so long and bore pains to possess it, they turned back eventually. Why? The Bible says it was because of their unbelief fuelled by the evil report they received in Numbers 13:25-33. Subsequently, Numbers 14:1-24 presents a graphic and detailed picture of how the Israelites demonstrated their unbelief. The sin of unbelief makes people to doubt the unfailing ability and faithfulness of God. It is an insult to our sovereign and omnipotent God. Beloved, the basis of unbelief is fear. When you give a place to fear in your life, you will clip the wings of faith and be unable to fly.
As the Israelites could not enter Canaan (their rest) due to unbelief and fear, so would any believer be unable to possess God's promises or achieve his desired breakthrough if he allows unbelief and fear to overcome him.
Beloved, the message the Lord is bringing your way today is: let your faith be persistent; don't give up and don't turn back. Press on. You will have that breakthrough and possess your possession!
*ββπΈππΌβ βππβππ:*
1. I will not give up at the edge of my breakthrough, in the name of Jesus.
2. Any power that roars and wages war against me at the edge of my breakthrough, your time is up, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Fire of God, consume every enemy of my breakthroughs and testimonies, in the name of Jesus.
4. Spirit of discouragement, I am not your candidate, die, in the name of Jesus.
5. I overcome the spirit of labour loss, by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
6. Spirit of non-achievement, depart from me and die, in the name of Jesus.
7. I receive the grace to press on with persistent and rock-like faith, in the name of Jesus.

Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son who took the punishment on our accounts while we deserve death.
Thank You that by grace I will not be standing before the great white judgement throne of God.
I also belive that the day is coming when every knee will bow before His throne and every tongue will confess that βJesus Christ is Lordβ.
Open my eyes to see the purpose for my existence and the importance of focusing on the things above.
May I be faithful to share the message of salvation with others who are yet lost and broken.

'They Didn't Know What to Say!' β Mark 14:40
Key Thought
Sometimes we just fail. Maybe we fail because we don't understand the gravity of a behavior. Maybe it's because we're just too weary and distraught to do what we need to do. Maybe it's because we're weak or lazy or ... However, the bottom line is that we are flawed people living in a fallen world. Despite our best intentions, our flesh sometimes triumphs over our faith. I can't think of anything that reminds us of our desperate need for Jesus to be our Savior more than Jesus' closest followers' letting him down in his moment of greatest need. Yet he dies for them and then calls them back to his service. What a message of grace triumphing over sin, disappointment, failure, and death.
Today's Prayer
Lord Jesus, I pray in your name so often to offer praise and thanksgiving for things and to request things from the Father that I sometimes forget to thank you for your incomparable love, mercy, and grace to die for us β to die for me β even though I have let you down and hurt you with my failure and sin. Thank you! Thank you, dear Father, for such a divine plan to deal with human weakness and sin. All praise be to you, and to your Son, in whose name I praise and thank you. Amen.

"Grieve not the Holy Spirit."β Ephesians 4:30
All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except he worketh in you to will and to do of his own good pleasure. Do you desire to speak for Jesus-how can you unless the Holy Ghost touch your tongue? Do you desire to pray? Alas! what dull work it is unless the Spirit maketh intercession for you! Do you desire to subdue sin? Would you be holy? Would you imitate your Master? Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality? Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardour for the Master's cause? You cannot without the Spirit-"Without me ye can do nothing." O branch of the vine, thou canst have no fruit without the sap! O child of God, thou hast no life within thee apart from the life which God gives thee through his Spirit! Then let us not grieve him or provoke him to anger by our sin. Let us not quench him in one of his faintest motions in our soul; let us foster every suggestion, and be ready to obey every prompting. If the Holy Spirit be indeed so mighty, let us attempt nothing without him; let us begin no project, and carry on no enterprise, and conclude no transaction, without imploring his blessing. Let us do him the due homage of feeling our entire weakness apart from him, and then depending alone upon him, having this for our prayer, "Open thou my heart and my whole being to thine incoming, and uphold me with thy free Spirit when I shall have received that Spirit in my inward parts."
