Father God, we praise You right now because we know You to be an awesome God! We thank You Lord for Your Word. In Your Word You have made us many promises, including we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us. Your Word declares to us that we are winners! Although there is so much we don't understand, there may even be some things we don't agree with and wonder why it had to happen to us, but in all and through all we choose to trust the fact that You have already declared we win. Lord, because of Your Word we choose to rejoice in the God of our salvation. We choose to thank You in advance for the victory. We choose to look at our situations and by faith call them good. We choose to use the breath that You have given us to praise You. Today we choose to look past trouble and perceived defeat and see victory. Today we choose to let brotherly love continue. We choose to forgive, even if they don't ask our forgiveness. We choose to keep living through it all, believing the victory is already ours. We choose to declare, in Christ we are new creatures, old things have passed away and You are making all things new. Today is a new day and we choose not to bring yesterdays arguments, disagreements, disappointments, hurt or failure in to today, it's over with and we're moving forward in to the newness of today. We give You praise for another chance to say yes to Your will, another chance to rejoice and be glad in this new day that You have made, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Because of Calvary,

Bishop Willie Williams

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord!!! We thank You for this new day filled with endless benefits and possibilities. Today we choose to focus on what You said and not what "they" said. You commanded us to have love one to another, You didn't give us the right to choose, You simply said, "Love". Help us to know love is about agreeing to honor and respect, even if it means agreeing to disagree and keep loving. Love is about sharing the light of the Lord everywhere we go, for love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Your Word tells us to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding; In all our ways acknowledge You and You will direct our path-- We pray that each one is reminded to talk more to You about decisions. Talk more to You about how to love. Talk more to You about everything, all the time. Father, it's no secret, we need You every second, every minute, every hour of the day. This morning we're praying for Edward Crawford, the brother of Della Ford, as he prepares to go in to surgery. Lord, we thank You for doing it for his mother Monday and we're praising You in advance for doing it for him today. We're also praying for Jenetta Croom Johnson, asking for Your mighty healing touch, draw her closer to You and grant her peace. Father, there is so much going on in our lives and in the lives of the people around us, help us to remember You made today and there is nothing about this day that You cannot handle. There is nothing about today that will take You by surprise. There is nothing about today that will intimidate You or cause You to panic, so it's best we continue to trust You enough to allow You to hold our hands and lead us through whatever today brings. Lord we praise You and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we humbly bow before You to worship and adore You. We worship You because You are a mighty God and with all Your might You continue to move mightily in our lives. We praise Your Name Lord Jesus because You're our Rock, You're our Fortress, You're our Deliverer, in You O Lord do we trust. Help us Lord to not just say words that sound nice, but give us the wisdom to know trusting You is the best thing we'll ever do. Give us the strength to surrender all to You and the courage to let You deal with all that we have surrendered to You, Your way and in Your time. Help us to know You don't always move in the way we would like for You to move, but You always move in a way that's best for us. Strengthen us to trust Your way and continue to praise our way through. Bless each one who reads this prayer, bless our family and friends and help us all to realize the importance of letting our light shine everywhere we go today, including in our homes. So many of us are struggling with different things and issues, help us to know our struggle becomes greater when we take matters into our own hands, it becomes greater when we fuss, complain and worry; It becomes greater when we don't trust the Great One Who lives in us. Help us to know it may not be easy, but it becomes easier if we just keep singing our song. We all have a different song, but any song that reminds us of what a Friend we have in Jesus, will help us get through today and really that's all we need to do, take one day at a time believing just as You care for the sparrow, You will take care of us. We give You praise, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You Lord for our life, health and strength. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for our jobs and means to support ourselves. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love to us, always. Father, this morning we're praying for Michelle Clark and family as they mourn the passing of their sister. Give them strength to deal with the difficult days ahead and grant them peace. We're continuing to pray for Kaman Richardson, asking that You continue to provide healing to his body. We're also praying for Cora Paige, the mother of Della Ford, as she prepares to go in for surgery this morning. Father, we're thankful for the 93 years You've blessed her to live and we're thanking You in advance for yet another victory in her life. We pray for Apostle Berry, Mercedes Snowden,Stephanie Robinson, Lori Williams and my entire family. Bless each one who reads this prayer with the blessings we stand in the need of. Help us Lord to remember, greater is He Who lives in us, than he who lives in the world. Help us to remember, no matter how great or small, any distraction will do -- anything to cause us to loose focus and concentrate on who or what we can see is a victory for the enemy. Help us to remember, we're in a spiritual warfare and it is not a war that our eyes can see. Help us to remember this battle can't be won with bullets and guns, it can't be won with a "get even spirit", it can't be won by insisting on doing things our way; For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Help us not to be distracted by what's going on around us in and our lives, but instead purpose in our hearts to rejoice in the God of our salvation, for truly You are the source of our strength and the strength of our life. We lift our hands in total praise to You today, determined to praise You in advance for the victories we shall experience today. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Because of Calvary,

AMEN!!
I loved the story Bishop Willie, thanks for sharing. It also reminded me of the saying and the story"Pennies from Heaven." God always has a way of getting our attention, one way or the other.

God Bless You Bishop and your Ministry!!
Love and Blessings, Phoebe

Great message Bishop Williams, thanks for sharing. Now I have a whole new perspective on the next penny I pick up while on my early morning walk, or stroll in the mall, or along side my grocery cart. Yes, I Trust In God!

Peace & Blessings

FRIDAY INSPIRATION AND PRAYER
IN GOD WE TRUST
Several years ago, a couple was invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. The wife was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.

The first day and evening went well, and the wife was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. The wife knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.

As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of the couple. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment. The wife wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny. He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?

Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value. A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this? 'Look at it.' He said. 'Read what it says.' She read the words ' United States of America '. 'No, not that; read further.' 'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.' 'In God we Trust?' 'Yes!' 'And?' 'And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!

Later the wife had this testimony, "When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message. It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient".
Our Father, we thank You Lord for the many simple reminders You give to us to trust You. We pray for Your strength and courage throughout this day so we will remember (even if we don't find a penny), to trust You with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding; In all our ways acknowledge You first and trust You to direct our paths. We give You praise for a beautiful day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to be a part of one more day. We thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for always looking out for us, always leading, guiding and directing our path, always loving us, even when we act as if we don't love ourselves. Father, You are an "always" God, the same yesterday, today and forever--we thank You for being the only constant we have. We pray one for another, asking that You will help each one to remember, You've done "it" before and You will do "it" again. If trouble comes, help us to remember You've delivered us before and You will deliver us again. If sickness comes, help us to remember You've healed before and You will heal again. Whatever the problem, You've done "it" before and we should trust You to do it again. We all have different "its", but the great thing about You is, You can handle them ALL, all at the same time. Your Word tells us, In everything give thanks to You, help us to give thanks now, just because You've done "it" before and our victory is in our praise. Help us to know praising You now before we see that You have done "it" again, is our act of faith and You love it when we trust You enough to thank You in advance for the victory. We praise You, we worship You, we adore You and we thank You in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
