Devotion and Prayer

 Inspired by the Holy Spirit 

By Prophetess Roberts

Psalm 148

Praise the LORD!  Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, And you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created.

He also established them forever and ever; He made a decree which shall not pass away. Praise the LORD from the earth, You great sea creatures and all the depths; Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars; Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying fowl; Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth.

Both young men and maidens; Old men and children. Let them praise the name of the LORD, For His name alone is exalted;  His glory is above the earth and heaven. And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints— Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise the LORD!

Psalm 148 (New King James Version)

                                           Prayer by Prophetess Roberts

Father, I (Prophetess T. Roberts) come before your Throne and in your Presents on this day (December -3-2010). I come with a bowed head and a humble heart. Thank you for stirring up the gifts that are in me. Thank you for allowing me to know who I am in Christ Jesus our Savior. Thank you for my Prophetic Gifts, and for the Prophetic Anointing that is on my life. Thank you for giving me courage and boldness to speak your words freely without fear or intimidation.

I worship you! I praise you! I love you! I lift up your Holy name because you are the First and the Last, the Ever Lasting King. You are the Alpha and the Omega. You are the King of all Kings! You are the Lord of all Lords! We magnify your name because you are worthy to be praised. You are God all by yourself, and there is none like you! Amen!

Father, we thank you for your Son Jesus, who you sent to die for our sins. Who sits on your right side at this present time. Who will come back soon for His Church who is called “The Bride of Christ”. Father, we welcome His coming, and as we wait, we ask that you prepare us to meet the Bride Groom with out spots or wrinkles.  Father, search our hearts today. If there be any malice, unforgiveness, resentment, or bitterness in our hearts against anyone today, we ask that you will touch our hearts and set us free.

We pray for a new heart and an upright spirit on this day. We pray for a spiritual makeover in Jesus name. Father, today before the New Year starts, we ask that you heal old wounds and scares. Let us not go into another year with grudges, bickering or strife.

Father, today I bring before you “The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith” who you assigned me to Cover in prayer.

Father, before the foundation of the earth was formed, you had a plan. And in Your plan there was a Beginning and an End. Father, you had it plan form the foundation of time, that you would raise up a group of people on the earth and call them The Bride of Christ. Father, we thank you on this day, for allowing us (The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith) to be a part of your Bride.

Father, we were taught in “Your Word” to give honor where honor is due. We thank you for giving us an extraordinary Apostle/ Bishop bold and outspoken in his day and in his season.  We thank you for giving us Apostle/ Bishop S.C Johnson. If it were not for him, “The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith” would not be here today. Even though you have a long-term plan for this church, you called an Apostle to start the process.

Father, we know that no man living is perfect and we do not hold his (Bishop Johnson’s) Ignorance’s against him. In His Ignorance’s and lack of understanding you winked at him. You gave him the gifts of an Apostle, the ability to start churches through out the world. Even in His lack of education you provided him with enough wisdom and knowledge to maintain these churches financially and keep them running even unto this day. What you gave him can know man take from him, because he was one of a kind.

Father, in the Book of Revelation 1:4 you told the Apostle John to write to the seven churches. John wrote a letter over two thousand years ago to a Church (A group of people) in Philadelphia. Father, today we (The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith) are a part of that Church that you wrote to over two thousand years ago.  Thanks to Bishop S.C Johnson who answered the call. He started a church that no man has been able to tear down. And the church will continue to stand until the End Times! Because you said in your word to the church in Philadelphia, “That you will keep the church in the time of tribulation which will come upon the entire world." Thank you Father, for keeping your word until this day.

The Apostle John said in the letter to the church in Philadelphia, that you Father would open doors that no man can close, and you would close doors that no man can open. Many have tried to prevail against this church but, no one has been able to tear it down.

The Original Church, which the Apostle/Bishop S.C Johnson started, still stands on 22^nd& Bainbridge Street. Father, you arranged the whole thing from the beginning. You had it mapped out and planed from the beginning that this church in Philadelphia would exist today. Father, you are the Founder of this church and it stands today because of you.

You chose Bishop S.C Johnson to start this church.  But it was not planed for him to be here during the Ends Times. Bishop S.C Johnson fought the good fight of faith. And like the other Apostles he has moved on. His chapter in the Book of Life is closed, his work is completed and now he is at rest. Like Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished!" But not forgotten.

There is always an Ending to a Beginning and a New Beginning, that will come to an End. Today you have placed Bishop Omega Shelton over the Original Church in Philadelphia that Bishop S.C Johnson started.  You have opened a New Chapter in your book. In this New Chapter you have a plan.  The plan is already in motion as I speak. Your plan from the beginning was, once Bishop S.M. Shelton died his son who you named “Omega” which means "The End" would reign. Father, we pray for a covering of protection over him and his family today.

Father, you have shown me in visions, that he has many enemies. Many are on the outside. And many are in the inside, sitting quietly and waiting for him to fall. But he will not fall! And if he does, he will not be destroyed because your right hand will keep him lifted. Father, let him know that I (Prophetess T. Roberts) am not the enemy but, a watchman. Let him know that you sent me and that I am genuine. Father, I pray for peace between us.

Father, were he is weak make him strong. Where he lacks knowledge give him wisdom. Father, order his steps concerning the church and how you would like for it to be run. Let him not lean on his own understanding concerning your will for the church. We pray for his health today. We pray for his marriage today. We pray for his children today. We pray for his finances today.

Father, give him boldness to preach your word without fear or Intimidation. Father, let him be a role model to those in leadership.  Let him lead by example. Father, if he slips keep him from falling. Amen!

Father, on this day, we pray that you will cast down every imagination, and every high thing, that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity every thought, to the obedience of Christ! 

Father, today I prophetically ask that you tear down the strong holes in the minds and hearts of the people in this church.  We denounce the spirit of Idolatry that has plagued the church over the years. Father, let the church see that there is only one God. And it is not a man. Father, those who does not know you, Introduce yourself to them as Lord of all Lords and King of all Kings. Introduce yourself to them as The Almighty God! 

Let them know that there is only one Savior and His name is Jesus. Father, let the church know that we are all equal in the House of God. And no one is more Superior than the next.  Father, let the church know that you have no respect of persons. And that you love all your children the same.

Father, no more ignorance’s! No more bondage and control!  No more strife! No more court battles! No more hurt and pain! Father, I ask that you remove the spirits of Fear, Control and Bondage out of the church. We denounce the spirit of homosexuality out of the churches today. We denounce the spirit of incest and molestation today. We cry out against abuse in the church, and neglect.

Father, I prophetically speak revival over this church in Jesus name. I send out a decree of Change and New Growth over this Church today!  Father, it is time to awaken the bones that have dried and withered. It is time for revival! It is time for those dry bones to be revived and live again. I prophetically speak to the atmosphere by calling those things that are not as if they were.  I pray for an out pouring of the Holy Spirit over the churches today by faith. Father, I ask that you come into this church (The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith) and have your way in Jesus name.

Father, I bring before you the Board of Directors over this church. Father, we both know, before the tail can operate correctly and mature, the Head must first function correctly.  Father, on this day, I pray that you visit each and every member who sits on the Board of Directors. Father, you know the hearts and spirits that are in man. Search their hearts today. If anyone sits on the Board of Directors and does not have a genuine love in his or her heart for the Betterment, Growth and Development of this church, let them be known to the others and, to the one in Leadership.

Father, we pray for a Fresh Anointing over the churches today in Jesus name. We pray for Peace in all our churches today. We pray for unity and love. We pray for victory over our enemies today, those on the inside and, those on the outside looking in. We pray for Growth and Development. Father, take this church to another level called Spiritual Maturity. Father, help us to let our light shine in darkness before men and the world. Father, help us to go forward and not backwards.

Father, we pray for the church finances today. We pray that you will miraculously erase all legal fees and debts. We ask for prosperity over the churches and in the lives of the members. Father, we pray for the property on Cherry Hill today. We pray that you would bless the land and keep it Holy for your return. Father, give Bishop Omega Wisdom and Knowledge on how to use the land for your glory.

Father, if you remove all legal fees, debts and financial burdens off the church, the members  in the church will not have to give as much. And they will be able to meet their own needs without worry or concern. Father, I pray for all those that give faithfully and willingly. I ask that you (Father) will bless them sevenfold. I pray for all those who have a desire to give but do not have to give. I ask that you (Father) will let their cups run over with abundance. And when their cups run over abundantly, I pray that they will remember the church. Father, I pray for all those who have a need today. I pray that you will meet their individual needs by faith.

Father, I pray for those who are seeking companionship today. I pray for good wives for the men and, good husbands for the women. Father, you said in your word “That a Man that find a wife finds a good thing.” Father, you also said, “Marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled.” Father, let them know (Those who desire to be married) that marriage is more than sex. Let them know that marriage is a Ministry. 

I pray for all those who are having marriage problems and, on the verge of a divorce. Father, you said in your word that you hate divorce. Therefore, I pray that you intervene and turn their situations around. Where there is hate, I pray for love.  Where there is no forgiveness and no trust, I pray for forgiveness and mercy. I pray for reconciliation.

I pray for our Elderly today. I pray that the church will have patience and compassion on them. I pray for all the Elderly who have a need today. Father, meet they're needs according to your will.  Some are sick today and need healing. Father, visit them in their homes, in the hospitals and in the nursing homes. Father, comfort their souls today. Let them know that you love them and that they are not alone.

Father, I pray for those Elderly that live alone. I pray that you watch over them and protect them in their going out and in their coming in. Father, some have paid tithes and given offerings for many years. Father, remember them now in their old age. Meet their financial needs and let them want for nothing.  Father, many of the Elderly are struggling with the new changes that are being made today. Father, give them peace of mind. Let them know that it is ok! And that they are not being forsaken. Comfort their hearts and souls and let them know that the “Church” is within.

Father, today we pray for the Ministers, Deacons and Elders in this church. We Pray that they lead by example. Father, where they are weak, make them strong! Father, I pray for exceptional wives for those that are not married. Father, when they have been blessed with good wives, teach them to love their wives, like you love your Church. Father, our Ministers, Deacons and Elders have sat stagnate too long. They have been hindered by the traditions of man for too long. They have been controlled by the rules and regulations of this church too long. Father, loose them and set them free! Father, bring out of them what you have placed inside of them to Minister to your people. 

Father, there is too much sicknesses and death in this church. Father, give those in leadership faith to lay hands on the sick, so they can recover.  Father, stir up the gifts that are in them to preach, teach and bring forth your word boldly without fear! Father, set your people free!

In Jesus name we pray Amen! Amen

                                              A prayer for Little Prophetess

Father, I bring Little Prophetess before your throne today. Father, stir up the gifts that are in her. Let her gifts be known to her Parents, the Church and the World. Father, bring out of the child what you have already placed inside of her to be your Servant. Father, I pray for a covering of protection be placed around her in her going out, and in her coming in. Father, show yourself strong to the child in Visitations, Dreams and Prophecies. Father, you are all powerful and magnificent in everything you do and say.  

Father, I pray this day that you take Little Prophetess by the hand and guide her in the direction that you would like for her to go. Lead her into righteousness and salvation. As she grows into the Daughter and Prophetess that you are calling her to be, touch her Ministry and cause it to be one of a kind.   Let those who are on the outside looking in see how you are with her. Let her gifts make room for her. Let the world see your miraculous works inside of her.

Let her works be manifested by your powers and anointing. Let her face shine like the face of an angel. When the world looks on her face, let them see you Father. Let her be a light for the world to see and a blessing to this church and, the Body of Christ.   Father, if there are any sicknesses or abnormities in her body today, let your healing virtue, come into the child, and make her healthy and strong. Let your healing power start from the crown of her head to the bottom of her feet.

Father, visit every inch of her body and make her whole. Father, provide her with a good education.  Give her a hunger and a desire to learn. Give her a mind to  be obedient to those who have rule over her. Father, let those around her be a good influence. We denounce any evil forces that may come up against her. Father, cover her ears and eyes from the influences of evil that surrounds her on television, school, church and in her neighborhood.

We ask that you will sanctify the foods that she eats. Let the food provide nourishment for her soul as she grows and develops. Father, we pray for the company that she keeps. If they are not there to build her up, remove them out of her life.   We pray for her Parents today that they be good role models. Father, open up their eyes so they can see what you have shown me concerning the child.

Father, reveal the truth to them so they can support the child in ministry.  Father, give her Parents a clear understanding of Prophets and their functions and duties to the building up of the church. Let her Parents see that you are not a God who discriminate or show favoritism towards your children whether they are Male or Female.

Father, open up her Parents understanding to the truth concerning Women Preachers. And when you do, remove the spirit of fear off his life, so he could teach the truth boldly. Father, let Little Prophetess prophetic anointing flow everywhere she goes. Let it be known to the world that a Prophet of the Lord was born........in Jesus name I pray..... Amen! Amen!
