Changing Face of Compton

fireworks3
Compton is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. It is home to almost 100,000 citizens. Known as the “Hub City” because of its unique position in almost the exact geographical center of Los Angeles County, Compton is strategically located along the Alameda Corridor, a passageway of 25 percent of all U.S. waterborne international trade. Compton is rapidly emerging as a large industrial center in Los Angeles County for transit and distribution, business services, high technology, home and lifestyle products, metals, financial services, and textile manufacturing.

Wednesday Morning Prayer:

How great is our God! Good morning Jesus!! We thank You for this new day graced with Your presence, full of Your mercy and grace. Thank You for a new chance to do new things and forget about the old things of yesterday; especially those things that got us down, disappointed, and frustrated; it’s a NEW day and we praise You for giving us the privilege to still be here. Lord, order our steps this day, point us in the direction of the one who needs our smile—let us smile. Show us the door that has been opened just for us—let us walk through it. We invite Your strength so we may bear the load and be determined not to give up. We pray for each eye who reads this prayer, give us something extra special to praise You for; bless us coming in and going out, give us a praying, praising spirit, and PLEASE, be glorified in our life today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:

Jesus, You’re the center of our joy; all that’s good and perfect comes from You. You’re the reason for our contentment; You’re the hope for all we do. Thank You Lord for being the center of our joy. We give You praise for life, health and strength. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for another chance to forgive a wrongdoing. We thank You for another chance to speak peace in the midst of confusion. We thank You for another chance to let brotherly love continue. We thank You for another chance to willingly be a witness for You and allow You to be glorified in our life today. Today is a new day and we pray each one will take new steps in the direction of dreams coming true and purposes being fulfilled. We look forward to You exceeding abundantly above all we say, do and even think, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:

All praise be to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, You are wonderful!! You are a mighty God! You’re awesome! You’re sovereign! You’re merciful, loving, compassionate and a constant friend. You are everything to us and we praise You for being our Lord and Savior. Thank You Lord for today, a day filled with Your grace and mercy. It’s a new day and we have a new opportunity to be drawn closer to You. We have a new opportunity to allow You to be glorified in us. We have a new opportunity to let our light shine. We pray each one will purpose in our heart to experience the newness of this day. Yesterday is gone and not worth rehashing. The arguments, disagreements, hurt, and pain of yesterday is old, You make all things new. The accomplishments of yesterday are old, You make all things new. We stand on tip-toe anticipation ready to experience the new today. We declare by faith we’re moving forward, expecting great new things, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

O Lord, our God, how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth! Your love to us is amazing; Your mercy endures forever and mighty are the works of Your hands. O mighty God, oh how wonderful it is to be loved by You. We thank You for another awesome new day. We pray each one will purpose in our heart to leave yesterday where it is, and choose to be grateful for another chance to let our light shine. We pray each one is excited for a new opportunity to allow You to be glorified in our life. Open our eyes that we may see the tricks and schemes of the enemy. Help us to know it’s not Your will that we stress, worry, complain, stay angry, give up, or settle; but it is Your will that we love, no matter what. It’s Your will that we use the gifts You placed within us for Your glory. It’s Your will that all know we are Your disciples. It’s Your will that we have a great day today on purpose; Father, let Your will be done in our life today,especially as it relates to the sister of Apostle Jennifer Easley, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

We worship You O mighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace. We give You praise because You are our righteousness. There is none, nowhere like You Lord. You know everything there is to know about us, You know our thoughts, our motives, the lies told, mistakes we’ve made, the hurt we’ve caused—You know it all and still You love us unconditionally. There is none like You. When the seeds we plant bring forth a harvest of consequences, still You’re right there giving us the strength we need to make it to the other side of through. There is none like You! We pray each one will recognize how great You are and what it means to have You with us always. Help us to remember there is nothing about this day You didn’t already know, and if we trust You, we will see the good You’ve already worked together. We pray each one has an attitude of praise. An attitude of, “I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength”. An attitude of, “There is no weapon formed against me today that will prosper”. An attitude of, “Because of Jesus, I am more than a conqueror in all things! I shall go forth today experiencing victory after victory!” Father, we pray You get glory out of our life today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:

WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW?

You've done way too much talking, what will you do now?
How much more advise will you listen to—what will you do now?
Counseling is good, classes are great, but what will you do now?
You said you would do it tomorrow, but tomorrow was yesterday, what will you do now?

There is something IN YOU, you need to share. What’s IN you will bless me, him and her, when will you decide it’s time to do what you know you need to do? Taking care of “this”…fixing “that” before you can do “IT” are excuses that keep giving you an excuse to not do what you know you need to do.

The graveyards are full of “I’ll do it tomorrow”…will you add to the pile? “No!” I’m going to do what I know I need to do!! Oh yea? What day is “going to do?” Is it today? It should be, after all, today is all you have right now. What will you do now?

God took care of the hard part—He placed IT in you. Will you praise God by doing what He assigned you to do? Yes, I will!! Great!!! Today is a good day to get started!

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
WHAT WILL IT TAKE?

What will it take for you to let go? What will it take for you to let "bygones be bygones"? Will it take them being "gone" forever, never to return no more? Is that good enough for you?

People are dying everyday...people who you expected to be here today are gone! Now it's too late to forgive...it's too late to say "I love you" ...it's too late for one last hug. It's too late! The things you plan to say at the service with the crocodile tears, save it: it's too late!

Everyone should take a "self-inventory" take a look at yourself. Who is it that has caused you to bottle up wrong-doings (according to you) and hold on to the bottle to remind you how hurt/angry you continue to be? Don't worry you don't have to admit it to anyone, but until you admit it to yourself and throw the bottle away....you will never be free.

Time is winding up, whatever they did in the past is over, no one has the capability to go back and undo; that's why God said, "forgive"...it wasn't a suggestion, it was a command. When you refuse to let go, you're in direct violation of God's command.

Today you can decide to keep the bottle and constant reminders of why you should continue to be: mad, sad, hurt or depressed. Or, you can finally break the bottle and declare, "It's over now".

Beloved, let us love one another: love is an action word, ask Jesus. Don’t let it be said, “it’s too late”. Do it today…it’s too hard? Ask Jesus to help you.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We give thanks unto You Lord because You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You for Who You are, all the time—there is nothing we can do to change Who You are. We thank You because You are Jehovah Jireh, everything we need, Your faithful hand continues to provide. We pray one for another, praying each one will recognize we never have to go without peace, joy, direction, comfort, love, protection—whatever we need You to be, You simply say, “I Am”. We pray Willie Ray experiences Your peace and total confidence in Your healing touch, as he prepares to go in for the procedure. We pray each one purposes in our heart to have a great day today. Help each one to see the hand of the enemy moving and not lose focus of truth…our God is greater. There is no problem, no situation, no sickness, no man, no woman greater than You, so today we shall magnify You in all and over all. Depression, sadness, defeat---You lose! We have the victory in Jesus! We are winners together with Jesus and we’re moving forward today in victory! We give you praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
O Lord, our God, how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth! Your Name is above all names; Your knowledge is too wonderful, it is high we cannot attain it. There is no where we can go and You’re not already there. We thank You for Your hand that protects us and Your love that refuses to let us go. Lord, we thank You because we can always count on You; we pray each one will know today that You’re ready and willing to help us. Draw each one closer to You and let our desire be to have a closer walk with You. We pray each one understands the answer to our trouble, heartache, pain, loneliness, struggle and void is always You. We pray Your expedient healing touch on Ms. Fay Bell. Help us to cast our care to You and know You care so much You will come to our aid. Help us to remember, if we trust You, You will exceed abundantly above all we ask or think. If we trust You, we can declare victory by faith, right now. Our right now faith says, today is a great day and great things are coming our way, in Jesus Name, Amen.
