O Lord, we come together in Your name,
And as You promised, we know You are here.
AND SO WE WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS,
AND PRAY THAT YOU FIND PLEASURE HERE WITH US,
AS WE, YOUR LOVING CHILDREN WORSHIP YOU.
We now invite You to reveal Yourself,
And share with us Your presence, openly,
FOR YOU ARE EVERYTHING THAT WE DESIRE,
AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE, WE GIVE TO YOU.
In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.
The Lord, Himself, taught us to pray like this . . .
The Lord's Prayer
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,
for ever and ever. Amen.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! - by Bishop Reginald Heber, 1827 - Public Domain
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee!
Holy, holy holy!
Merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore Thee!
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee,
Who wert, and art, and
Evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee!
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy!
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow'r in
Love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name,
In earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy holy!
Merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed Trinity!
Amen.
May the Lord bless these, His words, to our use.

Unclean spirits need to know who we are before they will yield to our
authority over them.
"And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus
I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye?"
(Acts 19:15 KJV)
By ourselves, we are all guilty sinners, doomed to hell.
"As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one:
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;"
(Romans 3:10 and 23)
"For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine
iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to
look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore
my heart faileth me." (Psalms 40:12 KJV)
But we are not by ourselves! We have our Lord
Jesus Christ, who came into the world to save guilty sinners like us.
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,
of whom I am chief." (1 Timothy 1:15)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."
(John 3:16 KJV)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV)
We have "confessed with our mouths and believed with our hearts."
Therefore He is now our Lord, and we are saved by His blood.
" . . . and the blood of Jesus Christ his son
cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7 KJV)
" . . . though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be white as snow . . . " (Isaiah 1:18 KJV)
"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed
our transgressions from us." (Psalms 103:12 KJV)
We continue to forgive everybody of all their offenses against us;
therefore God
continues to forgive us of all our offenses against Him, even as we
continue to
sin.
"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
but, Until seventy times seven." (Matthew 18:21-22 KJV)
"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenlyFather will also forgive you:
"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither
will your Father forgive your trespasses."
(Matthew 6:14-15 KJV)
Thus, we are His true disciples today, and He has given us power over
unclean spirits, just as he gave it to His earlier disciples.
"And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he
gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease." (Matthew 10:1 KJV)
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew
10:8 KJV)
"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing
shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19 KJV)
Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) (Power extended to new disciples)
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost:
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues;
"They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)
We also have power to bind unclean spirits and to loose whatever they
have bound. And, we can use our power from a distance, and over time.
We do not need to be physically present where the unclean spirits are.
"Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18:18 KJV)
"For with God nothing shall be impossible."
(Luke 1:37 KJV)
" . . . for with God all things are possible."
(Mark 10:27 KJV)

FOR TERRORISM: A PRAYER, A BINDING, AND A CURSE
by Rev. Bill McGinnis, Disciple Of Christ
TERRORISM is "the systematic use of violence to create a
general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring
about a particular political objective." Source: Britannica.com
A PRAYER FOR TERRORISTS TO REPENT
O Lord of all Creation, the One and Only God,
We come before You now to ask Your help.
We pray that you will rid us of a plague
Which is the foul and evil Spirit of Terrorism,
Which seeks to maim and murder innocents,
Pretending falsely that it is Justice,
And far exceeds the limits set by You
For acceptable human behaviour.
We pray that You will enter the hearts of all terrorists
And potential terrorists,
And turn them away from this Satanic force.
We pray that the terrorists recognize their error
And repent, putting their former acts behind them
And completely removing themselves
From all terroristic thoughts and deeds.
In Jesus' holy name we pray.
Amen.
BINDING THE DEMON OF TERRORISM
O foul and evil Spirit of Terrorism,
Demon born of Satan,
I know who you are, and I am coming now to bind you,
By authority of Jesus Christ, Himself,
Who has given this authority to me,
And to all of His true disciples.
In the name of Jesus of Nazareth,
Son of God, risen from the dead,
I now do bind you, head and foot,
With chains of steel which you can never break.
Your movements now are difficult and slow.
Your focus is not clear, your thoughts are weak.
The powers you once had are melted down.
Your tongue is thick, so you can barely speak.
And when you speak, nobody wants to hear.
In Jesus' name I issue this command.
A CURSE ON ALL ACTS OF TERRORISM
As Jesus cursed the unfruitful fig tree,
So I now do curse all acts of terrorism,
By authority given to me by Jesus Christ our Lord.
As the terrorist bomb is being prepared,
may it explode prematurely. And may the
terrorists receive the exact same harm they
had intended to inflict,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
As the terrorist shrapnel is being inserted,
may it cut the hands of its handlers, as they
had intended to cut their victims,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
As terrorist chemicals are being transported,
may the containers break open, and may the
terrorists receive the exact same harm they
had intended to inflict,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
As the terrorist vehicle is being started,
may it catch on fire and burn. And may the
terrorists receive the exact same harm they
had intended to inflict,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
As the terrorist message is being sent,
may it be lost and never received.
As the terrorist plans are being made,
may errors and confusion ruin them.
As the terrorist sympathizer TV station is broadcasting,
may its transmitters fail. May numerous technical
problems come upon it. May dissension seize its staff.
As the terrorist building is being used,
may its roof and floors collapse. And may
the terrorists be harmed as they had intended
their victims to be harmed,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
As terrorists are communicating with each other,
may their messages be garbled, and may confusion reign
among them.
As the terrorist computer is being used,
may it catch on fire and burn.
As the terrorist vehicle is driving down the road,
may it crash into a barrier. And may the terrorists
receive the exact same harm they had intended to inflict,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
As the terrorist mission is underway,
may it be detected and broken up. And may the
terrorists be captured and brought to justice,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
In all of its acts whatsoever,
may terrorism be smothered and destroyed.
And may the terrorists receive the exact
same harm they had intended to inflict,
thus preventing the innocent from being harmed.
In Jesus' name I call down this curse
upon all terrorist acts whatsoever,
no matter who, or what, or why.

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Sometimes we are so wrapped up in ourselves,by William McGinnis, Public Domain
So worried with our own important lives,
That we do not take time to see the world,
Through someone else's eyes, the way he sees.
The Lord wants us to care for everyone,
To love our neighbor as we love ourselves,
But if we are to do as He commands,
We need to see our neighbor's point of view,
And give it the importance it deserves.* * *
I pray the Lord will help us take the time,
And give to us the empathy we need,
In order that we may begin to see,
The world through eyes of others than ourselves.
And once we understand his point of view,
I pray the Lord will help us more to love,
Our neighbor as we surely love ourselves.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

EPHESIANS 3:14-21 (KJV)
14
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ,
15
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his
glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
inner man;
17
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
being rooted and grounded in love,
18
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh in us,
21
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout
all ages, world without end. Amen.
