Radical Prayer #2: Jesus Became Poor That You Might Become Rich

I’ve been praying radical prayers for awhile now, and I’m seeing God answer in radical ways. The radical prayer I want to talk about with you today is about how Jesus became poor that you might become rich.

Some of the religious people, who prefer to be poor, might have gotten upset when they read that first sentence.

If you just got upset by that sentence, I challenge you to read the rest of this post, study into it, and pray about it. You’re not having that much fun being poor anyway, so you might as well try something new.

Second Corinthians 8:9 contains this gem:

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”

Let’s talk about what this means.

Does this verse talk about spiritual riches? No, it’s talking about material wealth: MONEY.

If you read the entire chapter, Paul is telling the believers in Corinth to gather an offering of money. The entire passage is about money and material provision.

Although it’s certainly true that Christ died to give us spiritual riches, like forgiveness of sins, eternal life, wisdom, and communion with God, that’s not what this chapter is talking about.

But it seems too far-fetched, you say.

We have to understand that [Read more…]

Prayer for You If You Feel Invisible

Beloved, do you feel invisible today? If so, I believe the Lord wants to break that hiddenness off you today and flaunt you to the world.

It’s true that God raises people up in hiddenness.

Think about David:

He turned David into a mighty man of valor on the back side of Bethlehem while David was tending sheep. Long before David ever made it to King Saul’s court, he was known as a mighty man with the sword and the harp.

God raised David up to be strong before He ever got David away from the sheepfold. But then, a day came–and God flaunted David to the world.

He did a similar thing with Joseph:

God raised Joseph up, taught him, and discipled him during those long years of rejection at home with his family. His brothers hated him and sold him into slavery. Then, Joseph had a momentary glimpse of favor at Potiphar’s house–only to be falsely accused and subsequently thrown into jail for many years.

But when due time had come, God took Joseph from the pit to the palace in one day.

God may take His time; but when He promotes, He promotes quickly.

How To Pray Against the Python Spirit

Are you being attacked by the python spirit, or are you praying for someone who is? Is the breath being squeezed out of you or them? Are you in bondage to anything that keeps you from walking holy and living a holy life? If so–and if you’re ready to cast this demon out–then today’s prayer against the python spirit will help you.

Why this is on my heart today:

Recently, I was minding my own business when suddenly, I looked to my side where another person was. When I looked over, I was startled and horrified by what I saw: a python, twisted and wrapped around their hands.

In the natural, there was no snake there. But in the spiritual, the Lord was showing me the enemy spirit that was coming against this person. I began to pray, and the Lord gave me a prayer against the python spirit that beats the enemy.

What is the python spirit?

Various people describe it lots of different ways. Today’s article isn’t an in-depth look at what this spirit does. All I want to say today is: a python spirit twists and coils its way around a victim and suffocates them spiritually. It squeezes the spiritual life out of them by squeezing the spiritual breath out of them.

That breath is the Spirit of God. And people only allow this to happen in their own lives because they are unaware of it happening. If a real snake tried to wrap its way around you and kill you–and you knew it–you wouldn’t allow it, would you? Of course not.

In the same way, the python spirit tries to take people unawares–usually because they aren’t paying attention.

Note: The python spirit is a different spirit from the spirit of fear. The spirit of fear makes you feel like you physically can’t breathe–like something heavy is sitting on your chest. You KNOW you’re being attacked when the spirit of fear takes away your physical breath. But a python spirit takes away your spiritual breath, and you generally don’t know you’re being attacked by it.

What is the antidote to the python spirit?

Holy Spirit–the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ–is the antidote to the python spirit.

Keep in mind that Holy Spirit and the python spirit are not equal adversaries for good versus bad. No, the python spirit is a totally defeated minion of the enemy with limited power–and no power unless YOU give it to him. The python spirit simply masquerades as a thing with power, taking people unawares if it can; and it chips away at attacking what Holy Spirit does/gives: the breath and freedom of the Lord.

But Holy Spirit is God Himself. He has ALL power.

And He IS the breath–the Breath of God. HE is Living Breath. I would say He is Breath Incarnate, but the “-carn-” part of that word “incarnate” means “flesh,” and Holy Spirit has no flesh. He is Spirit, which IS a substance that can be seen; but it is not flesh. But, you could think of Holy Spirit as Breath Tangible. Breath Literal. He IS the Breath of God.

And Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. He is God Himself, very God of very God, just like Jesus is. And it’s “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts,” that all battles are won (see Zechariah 4:6).

So you defeat the python spirit by being filled with Holy Spirit and being submitted to Jesus.

Again, the enemy has ZERO right or ability to hurt you or make any inroads against you and your life unless you give it to him. When you are hidden in Christ and dwelling in the secret place of His presence (Psalm 91:1-2), you are totally and completely safe.

So if you notice the python spirit squeezing the life and breath out of you or someone else, you can pray against the python spirit by praying for yourself or that person to be FILLED with Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty and freedom:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17).

The Gospel is simple, folks:

Jesus saves. He heals. He delivers. He raises you up into newness of life by His Spirit … and it’s easy.

All we have to do is submit to Jesus and be filled with His Spirit in order to be free in every area. Just obeying the commands of the Lord and listening to His Spirit. Walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh … that’s how we get and stay free.

So would you like to be free from the python spirit today? Or, are you praying for someone else to be delivered from the python spirit?

I’m going to write the prayer below using words as if you are praying for yourself. However, if someone else is caught in bondage to this evil demon, pray it for them too. Just change up the words.

However, be sure to pray it for yourself first–and then pray it for someone else after that. Jesus said we shouldn’t try to pick the speck out of someone else’s eye when we still have a log in our own eye.

And while you’re praying this prayer against the python spirit, walk out your freedom, okay?

You can’t be free if you pray the prayer and then don’t follow up by submitting to Jesus. Grace empowers you to live a holy life. It’s not too hard, either. The commands Jesus commands you this day are not too hard.

As it says in Deuteronomy 30:11:

“For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off” (Deuteronomy 30:11).

And then Deuteronomy 30:19-20:

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them” (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

So choose life proactively–on purpose, every day–if you want to be free from the python spirit.

Pray against the python spirit once, or whenever you need to if you allow this demon back into your life. However, to STAY FREE, voluntarily submit to God’s Spirit every day of your life. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).

So if you’re ready to be free, to submit to Holy Spirit, and to kick the python spirit to the curb …

Pray this prayer to defeat the python spirit:

“Father God, in Jesus’ name, I thank You that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all sin. Thank You that You have redeemed me and bought me back from the slave market of sin, to which I was condemned. Thank You for saving me and forgiving my sin.

Father, I confess that I have not been working out my own salvation with fear and trembling. I confess that I have not been walking in the Spirit like I should have. I confess that I have not been seeking You first, Lord.

Father God, I repent for these things. Please forgive me.

I confess my sins to You, and I thank You that Your Word says if I confess my sins, You are faithful and just to forgive me my sins, and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

Father, I repent of and renounce my agreement with the python spirit.

I repent for tolerating the python spirit. I repent for agreeing with it. I repent for not caring enough to kick it to the curb. And in the name of Jesus, I command the python spirit and every other evil spirit to leave me right now in Jesus’ name. Be gone, demons, and do not return, in the name of Jesus.

Father God, please fill me with Your Spirit.

Come from the four winds, O Spirit of God, and breathe on me. Father, Jesus, put Your breath into my nostrils. Breathe on me again, just as You breathed into Adam in the Garden of Eden. Breathe on me and fill me with Your breath from Your lungs–Your Spirit Himself.

Father, have me for Yourself. I give myself completely and totally to You.

I surrender, Lord. I surrender to You. Have me for Yourself. Holy Spirit, fill all of me. Jesus, I am Yours. Please take me completely and totally for Your purposes. Baptize me anew and afresh in Your Spirit and power. Fill me with Your fire. From this day forward, let me never be the same again.

Lord Jesus, I confess You as my Lord. Holy Spirit, I confess You as my Lord as well. And Father God, I confess You as my God, my Lord, the Ruler of Heaven and earth–and the Boss of me.

You are my Everything. So Lord, I need Your help.

As I put one foot in front of the other to seek You first from now on, please help me. Work in me both to will and to do for Your good pleasure. Help me to want to seek You every day, Father. Make me hungry and thirsty for You.

Help me to obey You in every moment, Father, no matter what You are telling me to do that moment. Help me to walk in the Spirit, where I will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Father, it’s not by might, nor by power that I can seek You and submit to You. It’s only by Your Spirit.

So help me, Father. Holy Spirit, please lead me and guide me. Instruct me and teach me in the way I should go, and guide me with Your eye upon me. You who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it, and I thank You for that. But please help me to submit to You every day, and fill me with Your breath.

Breathe through me every moment with the wind of Your Spirit, Lord Father. Thank You. And it’s in the name of Your holy Child Jesus that I pray, and I give You all the glory.

In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.”

Now take a deep breath.

Thank God for the breath in your lungs–both physical breath and spiritual breath–for they are from Him. His breath, and His Spirit, if you have given your life to Jesus.

And now walk it out. Submit to the Lord every day. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh–and you will be filled with the Breath of God, hidden in the secret place of the Most High, and immune to the attacks of the enemy.

Radical Prayer #18: The Anointing of the Tribe of Zebulun

Hey beloved, do you want the Lord to give you His special anointing for Kingdom finance? If so, then you want the anointing of the tribe of Zebulun! In this article, I’ll share what the anointing of the tribe of Zebulun is; where we find it in Scripture; and a sample prayer you can pray to ask God for this special gift!

First, what is the anointing of the tribe of Zebulun?

The anointing of the tribe of Zebulun is a spiritual inheritance God gave to the natural sons and daughters of Zebulun, the tenth son of Jacob. (His mother was Leah.) This anointing was bestowed upon them first when Jacob, in his old age in Egypt, pronounced blessings upon the bloodlines of each of his sons.

We read about the bestowing of the tribal blessings in Genesis 48 and 49, when Jacob told his sons to gather together so that he might tell them what would befall them “in the last days.”

Then, Genesis 49:13 records him predicting Zebulun’s future as follows:

“Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; he shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall adjoin Sidon. Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens; he saw that rest was good, and that the land was pleasant; he bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a band of slaves” (Genesis 49:13-15).

(And yes, I included the passage about Issachar also on purpose; but we’ll get to that in a minute.) 🙂

We read more about Zebulun’s tribal inheritance from the Lord when Moses also pronounced a blessing over them in Deuteronomy 33:

“And of Zebulun he said: ‘Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar in your tents! They shall call the peoples to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; for they shall partake of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hidden in the sand” (Deuteronomy 33:18-19).

So what did Zebulun’s inheritance look like in practical terms?

Several things. [Read more…]

Radical Prayer #17: Lord, Seat Me With Princes

Did you know that it is God’s purpose and desire to seat you with princes? It may sound selfish or materialistic, but it’s not. The Bible says that the Lord seats you with princes–that seating you with princes is His plan for your life; His habit; and even His pattern. If you would like the Lord to sit you down with royalty, read on and pray this radical prayer from Psalms!

I was reading my Bible the other day and I was shocked when I found this verse. It’s Psalm 113:7-8, and it says:

“He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes—with the princes of His people” (Psalm 113:7-8)

Notice a few radical truths out of this passage:

First, these verses describe what God DOES–His habit; who He is and what His patterns are.

That’s important because it should build your faith. If you see a verse in the Bible where someone is asking God to do something, that’s one thing. If it’s a good prayer, you might want to pray it too. God is the Giver of good and perfect gifts, and He’s no Respecter of persons. If He gives one gift to one person, He’ll give it to you too.

But this passage is different.

This passage doesn’t merely record somebody else’s prayer to God. This passage doesn’t record somebody’s selfish desire to be first in the Kingdom of God, like the disciples argued about one day while they were walking with Jesus.

No; this passage records Holy Spirit telling us who God IS. He is breathing through the heart, mind, and pen of the author, and He’s telling us who He IS.

God raises you out of the dust. It’s who He is.

There’s power in knowing who God is. When you learn who God is, you’ll have faith–because God cannot deny Himself. Second Timothy 2:13 says:

If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.”

God is always who He is. If He’s one thing, He’s always that thing, without exceptions. For example:

He is always merciful. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always just. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always good. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always holy. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always faithful. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always generous. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always pure. He cannot be otherwise.
He is always wise. He cannot be otherwise.

We could go on and on, talking forever about who God is. We don’t even have the human ability to know everything there is to know about God–but we could still talk forever about His attributes that we do know. He is just that amazing.

And you know what? Whenever He does something, He’s only acting out of who He is. So He does the same things all the time, because He IS the same all the time.

That’s why it’s important when you read about one of God’s habits or patterns in the Bible: because once you see Him do a thing once, you’ll see Him do that same thing over and over again if you’ll pay attention. He is just acting out of Himself–out of who He is; and who He is never changes.

So when Scripture tells us what God habitually does, pay attention! He wants to do that thing for YOU.

And what does Psalm 113:7-8 say God habitually does? Let’s look at this passage again:

“He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes—with the princes of His people” (Psalm 113:7-8)

Did you get that? God raises the poor out of the dust. He lifts the needy out of the ash heap. And He does these things so that He may seat them with the princes of His people.

Whoaaaaa. That is amazing.

Check out why:

If you’re poor and needy, God wants to bring you out of poverty and need.

It’s who He is. You could name Him that: He is God Who Raises the Poor Out of the Dust. God Who Lifts the Needy Out of the Ash Heap.

God Who Sits You With Princes.

It’s who He is.

So are you poor and needy today?

If so, God wants to raise you up. Permanently. He doesn’t want to just lift you up, wipe your tears, then plop you back down right where you were. No, He sees the deadness of your situation and He wants to raise you–to bring resurrection power into your situation; to lift you and change your environment and bring you into newness of life.

He also wants to lift you out of the ash heap.

To be perfectly honest, I looked up the word “ash heap” and it doesn’t necessarily mean “ash heap.” 🙂 It can also mean, um, dung heap. Filth heap. You get what I mean?

Point being, if you are in a heap of filth right now–meaning, somebody came by and left their stuff and you’re in it–He wants to lift you out of that too. Even if the filth heap/ash heap/dung heap is YOUR OWN filth.

Yup, He’s just that good.

So why does Papa God want to lift you up out of the filth heap? Why does He want to raise you out of the dust? Because:

God wants to seat you with princes right now.

He sees where you are, but He knows where you’re going. He knows where He’d like to take you if you’ll just let Him:

He knows what He has in mind for you, and it’s a gorgeous palace.
The place HE has in mind for you is royal and beautiful and influential and full of FAVOR.
He has a clean place for you …
A place where His servants wait on you and take care of you …
A place where all your needs are provided …
A place in which you will enjoy the princes’ companionship; and
A place where the light of the King’s favor will shine on your face.

If you’re drowning in filth right now, your Papa God wants to seat you with princes.

He desires to lift you up. To raise you up. To change everything for you, starting with scrubbing you down, cleaning you up, rescuing you, and putting you in an entirely new place.

He loves you, you see. And His kids are all kings and priests to Him … so He wants your life to demonstrate the royalty that you are.

Will you let Him do this for you?

If you will let the Lord lift you up and seat you with princes, pray this with me:

“Father God, in Jesus’ name, I confess that I am in this ash heap. I’m in this dung heap; a pile of filth. Whether I made it myself or someone else made it, I have chosen to sit in it–and I’m sorry.

Lord, I recognize that You have more for me than this. You desire to raise me up into a wide place. You desire to lift me out of this pile of filth and into the place where royalty dwells. I have not allowed You to do this before, Lord, but I am allowing it now.

Father God, please forgive me for living beneath my privilege.

In the name of Jesus, I renounce my agreement with the filth, lies, poverty, and ashes that I have embraced. I repent of all of it, Lord, and I receive Your truth right now. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I give my life to Jesus first and foremost, to walk in the Spirit from now on.

Father, I receive Your truth:

That I am more than a conqueror through You who give me strength;
That I am a chosen generation, a royal priest, Your own precious possession;
That I am Your beloved child;
That greater are You who live in me than he who lives in the world;
That I can do ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL, ALLLLL things through Christ who strengthens me;
That You shall provide all my needs according to Your riches in glory;
That I am filled with wisdom from above by Your Holy Spirit;
That I always know what You want me to do and when You want me to do it;
That You have good plans for me, and I shall walk in them always;
That I am the healed of the Lord, for You sent Your Word, Jesus, and healed all the disease that was in my body;
That I walk the path of Christ, do the deeds of Christ, think the thoughts of Christ, and say the words of Christ;
That I am hot on fire for You, and I love You with all my heart, soul, mind, body, and strength;
That I have the mind of Christ;
That I am the righteousness of God in Christ;
That I hear Your voice behind me, saying, “This is the way; walk in it;” and I always obey and never turn to the right or to the left;
That I am filled with Your power; and
That I abide in Jesus; His words abide in me; and I keep Your commandments.

Father, I choose from this moment to seek You and You only. So do what You do, Lord, for Your Word says that “if” I obey You, then I can be blessed.

So Father God, in Jesus’ name, raise me up and seat me with princes.

I choose to get up and leave this dunghill now, by Your Spirit; for it’s not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit that I can do all things. I thank You that You are leading me out right now. You are leading me over, and not under. I shall no longer be victimized or conquered by the enemy or his devices. I shall walk in victory beginning today and every day going forward.

Thank You, Father, for carrying me out of this ash heap. Wash me in the blood of Jesus, and let me never return to it. I thank You that the enemy I see today, I shall never see again, for I turn my face from the enemy and I choose to seek only You.

Father, in Jesus’ name, order my steps in Your Word.

There may be a journey to get to the palace, so order my steps. Teach me. Bring me all the way along the road, and help me to obey You at every point and turn along the way.

And Father, bring me into the palace You have prepared for me. Seat me with princes.

Give me all the favor You have for me, Lord.

Since You desire to seat me with princes, that’s going to require favor. I know it and I thank You for it. Please give me favor on every side, and influence too; but let it all be only for Your glory.

Don’t give me any favor or influence that I would use wrongly, Lord; but give me LOTS of favor that I do use for You.

And when you seat me with princes, Lord, teach me how to act.

Lord, You’re going to have to teach me how royalty behaves. Please help me learn the ways of royalty well, and learn them easily too. Teach me who I am in You, Father, for Your Word says that I AM royal.

Thank You, Father. Thank You that when you seat me with princes, I will fit in. I will be prepared, dressed rightly, and I’ll know how to behave around other royalty–for You will lead me there.

Thank You, Father. Thank You for loving me and for hearing my prayer. I receive it all, and I bless Your name for it. Thank You, Jesus, and thank You, Holy Spirit.

It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Beloved, do you want God to seat you with princes? Did you pray this prayer with me? If so, leave a comment below! I’d love to hear from you!

Prayer for the Brokenhearted

Hey beloved,
I have been praying for you and everyone in this community, and I found a prayer and a word of exhortation that I believe will bless you.

This prayer is a prayer for the brokenhearted.

It’s an audio clip from when I was ministering live at a conference, and if you have been brokenhearted …

… or discouraged …
… depressed …
… or going through a nightmare …

This prayer for the brokenhearted, hurting, struggling, and discouraged will help you. In this prayer, I command LIFE into your spirit, soul, and heart.

Please watch and listen to this short clip below. Come into agreement with me as I pray for you, and allow Holy Spirit to minister to you.

Next, I wanted to provide you with a list of Scriptures that will comfort you if your heart is broken.

So here are 12 Scriptures to read, pray, and chew on if your heart is broken:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:3-5).

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

“‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know'” (Jeremiah 33:3).

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you” (1 Peter 5:10).

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:37-39).

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6).

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust'” (Psalm 91:1-2).

“Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah” (Psalm 61:1-4).

“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:12-13).

***The entire chapters of Psalm 23 and Psalm 91 are also tremendously helpful, but are too long to include here.***

Beloved, I am praying for you today. Remember that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted. He saves those who are crushed in spirit. And if YOUR heart is broken today, may our loving Papa God wrap His comforting arms around you right now in Jesus’ name.

Love in Christ,
Jamie

7 Prayers for When You Feel Afraid

Do you struggle with fear? Whether that fear is situational or long-term, you can get rid of fear.

Fear is a demonic spirit. When you feel afraid, it’s because that demon is harassing you with thoughts of fear.

The good news is that Jesus paid the price with His blood for you to be completely delivered from ALL harassment by the spirit of fear. You can be delivered and walk in freedom because Jesus died to set you free!

A lot of people try to get free from fear by exercising faith, but faith is not the antidote to fear. Faith is the opposite of doubt and unbelief, so faith cures doubt and unbelief. However, 1 John 4:18 tells us what cures fear:

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).

So if you struggle with fear, you can be healed by being made perfect in love.

If you feel afraid today, I wrote seven super-short prayers that will help you get free from fear and be made perfect in love.

I wrote these prayers for this month’s article on iBelieve.com, and it was posted there a few days ago.
