A Recipe for Powerless Prayer

Walk in Self-Condemnation

An old family recipe for powerless prayer has a very simple ingredient: self-condemnation. Contrary to what some might believe, it has nothing to do with repentance, nor does it glorify God. Furthermore, it keeps you in the driver’s seat. It runs contrary to what Jesus said was required to come after Him. Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. Part of denying the self includes not inserting yourself into places where you do not belong. It’s never been our position to condemn anyone, including ourself. 1 Corinthians 4:3-5 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but He that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. When entering into self-condemnation, one tends to reject mercy, and by extension God’s forgiveness offered them through the precious Blood of Jesus. Of course, many condemn themselves, because they haven’t forgiven themselves. From that standpoint, it is hard for them to imagine God forgiving them, since they can’t seem to do it, themselves. “I don’t know how He could forgive me.” How much confidence do you think they have in God hearing their prayers? 1 John 3:20-21 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Repentance Removes Self-Condemnation

When persons do not truly repent, they may employ self-condemnation, especially if they plan to continue in the wrong direction. They use it like self-flagellation, in order to feel better about things. In order to save face before others, they’ll verbalize the self-condemnations, so others will not condemn them -at least not verbalize it to them. They’re still in control. Repentance is concerned with the way God see things, and how He would want us to address sin, or anything else for that matter. It means to change the way one thinks, which in turn leads to a change in behavior. Repentance includes confession, which is full on agreement with God to include His view on our shortcomings. In addition, it seeks to change direction on His terms. What are His terms? 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (see also Acts 3:19-20). Repent, confess your sins, receive His forgiveness, learn whatever lesson needs to be learned, and move on. We cannot glorify God by condemning ourselves, while living in the past. Rather, glorifying Him includes pressing forward to the mark of your high calling, and being conformed to the image of Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (see all of Philippians 3). If you want to makes things up to God, do things His way. His ways do not include self-condemnation.

Joseph Prince Daily Devotional 6th December 2023 – The Ground Is Ready for Your Healing.

TOPIC: The Ground Is Ready for Your Healing Scripture: Psalm 129:3 “The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.”

DAILY GRACE INSPIRATION 6TH DECEMBER 2023

In the verse above, we see a powerful and graphic agricultural imagery being used to help us understand the violent suffering our Lord Jesus endured for our healing. Psalm 129 is a messianic psalm, and this is a picture of the scourging Christ went through. I was reading this verse one day, and I felt the Lord saying to me, “Meditate on why I used words that are associated with farming.” That made me wonder, Why did the Lord say, “They plowed My back” rather than beat, scourged, or hit? Plowers drag a sharp plow that digs into the soil to break up the soil and make deep furrows in preparation for seeds to be sown as pictured on the following page. I believe that was what happened to our Lord Jesus’ back. When He was scourged by the Roman soldiers, it was as if His whole back had been plowed. Furrows made in the ground by a plow allow for the planting of seeds and irrigation. In Psalm 129, the furrows speak of the scourging Jesus received for our healing. Victims of Roman flagellation were scourged using a whip made up of several long leather thongs embedded with shards of broken bone, metal, and hooks. With each stroke, the thongs would wrap around the victim’s body, and the shards would lodge in his flesh. When it was jerked away, the flesh of the victim would be ripped off and left in shreds, making deep, long furrows across his back. By the time our Lord’s tormentors were done, I believe there wasn’t a single sliver of skin left on His back. Psalm 22, a messianic psalm, tells us that even His bones were exposed and stared back at Him (Ps. 22:17). It was not by coincidence the language of sowing was used to describe our Lord Jesus’ horrific scourging. Furrows are made so seeds can be sown. When you feel like you have no faith to believe in healing, our Lord Jesus says you just need faith as small as a mustard seed (Luke 17:6). It is not about how strong your faith is—just sow your little seeds of faith into the good ground of our Lord. The more you see what He has done for you, the more your faith will grow and the more you will experience a harvest of healing. When His back was lashed into furrows, He was allowing the seed for your specific healing to be sown, whether it is high blood pressure, a tumor, or your child’s asthma. Whatever condition you or your loved one might be suffering from, Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice speak of how the price for your healing has been paid in full. It speaks of how you are so loved. Now reach out by faith and receive your healing. And even as you wait for your hundredfold harvest, may you experience His love for you like never before! Read the full article

Twelve-year Devotion for the Souls in Purgatory by St. Bridget

The following prayers were given in a private revelation by Our Lord Jesus Christ to St. Bridget of Sweden. They are to be prayed for 12 years. Our Lord promised the following graces to all who will have this devotion: 1. The soul who will pray these prayers will suffer no purgatory. 2. The soul who will pray these prayers will be accepted among the Martyrs as though he had spilled his blood for the Christian Faith. 3. The soul who prays them can choose three other souls whom Jesus will then keep in a state of grace that is sufficient for them to become holy. 4. No one among the four successive generations of the souls who prays these prayers will be lost. 5. The soul who prays these prayers will be made conscious of his death one month in advance. When the person who has committed himself to pray these prayers dies before the 12 years are over, the Lord will accept the prayers as having been prayed in their entirety. If a few days of prayers are missed due to a valid reason, they can be made up for later. This devotion was pronounced good, and was recommended by both the “Sacro Colegio de propaganda fide,” as well as by Pope Clement XII. Pope Innocent X, in turn, confirmed the revelations of the Lord to St. Bridget. Prayer Offerings in Honor of the Precious Blood of Jesus O JESUS, we will pray the Lord’s Prayer Seven times in union with all the love With which You sanctified This prayer in Your heart. Take the prayers from our lips Into Your Divine Heart. Improve and complete our prayers So that they bring as much honor and joy To the Blessed Trinity As you glorified the Trinity. May these prayers bring glory to You Because of Your painful Wounds, And the Precious Blood That You poured forth for us. 1. The Circumcision of Jesus. Our Father and Hail Mary. Eternal Father, Through Mary’s unblemished hands And through the Divine Heart of Jesus, We offer You the first wounds, The first pains, and the first Bloodshed As atonement for all the sins of youth Committed by us and by all humanity, And as protection of our relatives from mortal sins. 2. The Agony in the Garden. Our Father and Hail Mary.

As protection against committing again such sins, And for the spread of The Diving and brotherly love Among all. 3. The Flagellation of Jesus. Our Father and Hail Mary. Eternal Father, Through Mary’s unblemished hands And through the Divine Heart of Jesus, We offer you the numerous wounds And the gruesome pains That Jesus suffered, As well as the Precious Blood That He shed during the flagellation As atonement for the sins of the flesh Committed by us and by all humanity, As protection against Committing again such sins, And for the preservation of The virtue of innocence Among our relatives. 4. The Crowning with Thorns. Our Father and Hail Mary. Eternal Father, Through Mary’s unblemished hands And through the Divine Heart of Jesus, We offer You the wounds and pains That Jesus suffered, As well as the Precious Blood That flowed from The Holy Head of Jesus During the crowning with thorns, As atonement for the sins of the spirit Committed by us and by all humanity, As protection Against committing again such sins, And for the spread of Christ’s kingdom on earth. 5. The Carrying of the Cross. Our Father and Hail Mary. Eternal Father, Through Mary’s unblemished hands And through the Divine Heart of Jesus, We offer you the sufferings of Jesus On the way of the Cross— Especially the Holy Wounds He suffered on His shoulders, And the Precious Blood That came from these wounds— As atonement for every grumbling Against Your Holy Will, As atonement for sins of the tongue Committed by us and by all humanity, As protection against Committing again these sins, And for the spread of True love for the Cross. 6. The Crucifixion of Jesus. Our Father and Hail Mary. Eternal Father, Through Mary’s unblemished hands And through the Divine Heart of Jesus, We offer You Your Son nailed And hanging on the Cross, His wounds on His hands and feet, And the three streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth From these wounds for us, His extreme tortures Of the body and soul, His precious death And its unbloody remembrance In all the Holy Masses, As atonement for all the offenses Committed against the vows and rules of Religious Life and the Priesthood; As reparation for our personal sins And the sins of the world; As supplication For the sick and the dying, For the priests and the laity, For the Holy Father’s intentions Towards the restoration Of Christian families, For the strengthening of the Faith, For our country, and For unity among all nations In Christ and in His Church, And for the people of the Diaspora. 7. The Piercing of the Side of Jesus. Our Father and Hail Mary. Eternal Father, Accept as our worth offering The Precious Blood and Water That flowed from the wounds Of the Divine Heart of Jesus For the needs of the Holy Church, And for the atonement Of all the sins of humankind Be gracious and merciful toward us. May the Blood of Christ, The last precious content Of His Holy Heart, Wash us and others Of all the guilt of our sins. May the Water From the side of Christ Wash us clean Of all the punishments of our sins, And may it extinguish The flames of Purgatory For us and For all the Poor Holy Souls. Amen. Prayer in Honor of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Mother Whoever thinks of the Passion of Jesus Christ must also think of His Blessed Mother Mary. The Mother of God gave St. Bridget the private revelation that the following graces will be gained by anyone who prays seven (7) “Hail Mary’s” daily while meditating upon her tears and sorrows, and by anyone who spreads this devotion to others: 1. There will be peace in the person’s family. 2. The person will experience enlightenment into God’s mysteries. 3.

Deliver them from their bitter pains, Call them finally to yourself And embrace them In Your arms in Heaven. Amen. Prayer to the Three Archangels To Saint Michael: St. Michael the Archangel, Defend us in these days of battle, Be our safeguard Against the wickedness And snares of the devil, May God rebuke him We humbly pray, And you, O prince of the Heavenly Host, By the power of God, Cast into hell Satan And all the evil spirits Who roam throughout the world Seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. To Saint Gabriel: Angel of Humanity, Trusted Messenger of God, Open our ears For the quiet warnings and calls Of the most Loving Heart of Jesus. Always be in front of our eyes, We beg you, That we may understand The Word of God correctly, And that we may follow, Obey, and fulfil that Which God wants of us. Assist us in staying awake So that when the Lord Comes to get us He may not find us asleep. To Saint Raphael: Arrow of Love And Doctor of God’s Love, Wound our hearts with burning love, We ask you, And do not let the wound heal So that we may stay On the path of God’s Love everyday, And so that we overcome everything With love that comes from God.
