11.5.2013 my PRAYER REQUESTS

Lord
1. HELP me to ORGANIZE a usable system to aid in MY  (daily?) INTERCESSORY PRAYER for
- other men, women, groups (ie. my neighbors, ridgeline fellowship, the US government down to those self-appointed tyrants rather than PUBLIC SERVANTS who are on the souderton borough board, my family in Christ around the world,  ?...), issues (ie. the death of the Church in the US and the resulting piecemeal destruction of the US (see deuteronomy 28 to see a picture) by God,...?)  and various prayers found in the bible, etc.

ephesians 6.18-
with ALL prayer and petition
PRAY at ALL times in the Spirit
and with this in view, BE ON THE ALERT with ALL perseverence and petition
for ALL the saints.

I timothy 2.1f-
first of all, then, i URGE  that
entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings,
BE MADE ON BEHALF OF ALL MEN..

2. HELP me LIVE MATTHEW 6.19-33

v19 DO NOT LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES UPON EARTH
v20 but LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN
v.24 no man can serve two masters..you cannot serve God and mammon (ie. valued possessions)
(how much of my thought-word-deed, time, energy, ability and $ are focused on God today?)
v.25 DO NOT BE ANXIOUS (ie. recurring thought) for your life (food)...nor for your body (clothes)
v26 LOOK AT the bird of the air..do not sow..reap..gather into barns..
v28 OBSERVE how the lilies of the field grow..they do not toil nor..spin.
v31 DO NOT BE ANXIOUS...
v32..your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
v33 but SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
and all these things will be added to you.
v34 therefore DO NOT BE ANXIOUS for tomorrow...

I timothy 6.6-10-
but godliness is actually a means of great gain,
WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY CONTENTMENT.
for we have brought nothing into the world,
so we cannot take anything out of it either.
and if we have FOOD and COVERING,
with these we shall be content.
BUT THOSE WHO WANT TO GET RICH

(note: here is God's definition of RICH: having MORE THAN FOOD AND COVERING)

fall into  temptation
and a snare
and many foolish and harmful desires
which PLUNGE men into ruin and destruction.
for the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil,

(note: we can't LOVE GOD ( have time to 'keep His commandments', john 14.15,
and at the same time LOVE MONEY (have time to seek for more than what is absolutely necessary  to live). it is just impossible to do. every person chooses one or the other.)

and some by longing for it have
wandered away from the faith
and pierced themselves with many a pang.

3. SET me COMPLETELY FREE from
-masturbation
-gluttony (especially gallon containers of ice cream)
-book reading (other than the bible)
-any focus(es) i currently don't see as stealing precious moments and all consuming focus from God
-any further distractions that will present themselves in the future

(note: i share this private information publicly
as a single person protest
against the squeaky clean 'church'
(this in quotes hoping those i encounter are NOT ONLY tares among the wheat,
but also true  believers who are in stages leading to total spiritual atrophy
(kinda like samson. of hebrew 11 hall of faith for believing God to destroy the philistines
in giving him a prayer-asked resurgence of  the sin-destroyed strength),
evidently (?) having no shepherd
who cares enough to seek them out
and nurse them back to spiritual health and then vibrancy.
i'm sick of never encountering true believers who are fighting a daily battle against sin
that i am fighting.
it is a reality for every person who truly knows Christ.
 (ie. Jesus, talking to the disciples...
'if you BEING EVIL
know how to give good gifts and paul....(many years after meeting Jesus on the road to damascus, while leading, (almost single-handedly?) the greatest evangelistic effort in church history...
'for i am not practicing what i would like to do,
but i am doing the very thing i hate'...)
james 5.16 has been excised,
along with many other verses from the bible
and from the daily practice of christians one with another.
we desperately need to once again bemoan and agonize
in the ongoing battle against sin in our lives.
pray for me!)

john 8.31f-
Jesus..was saying to those jews who had believed Him,
if you ABIDE (obey, keep) IN MY WORD,
then you are truly disciples of Mine
32 and YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH
and THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
34..truly, truly, I say to you,
everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
and the slave does not remain in the house forever;
the son does remain forever.
36 IF.. THE SON SHALL SET YOU FREE
YOU SHALL BE FREE INDEED.

romans 8.13-
for if you are living according to the flesh,
you must die;
but if by the Spirit
you are putting to death the deeds of the body
you will live.

galatians 5.1F-
it was for freedom that Christ set us free;
therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and
DO ONT BE SUBJECT AGAIN to a yoke of slavery.
13-for you were called to freedom, brethren;
only DO NOT TURN your freedom
into an opportunity for the flesh,
but through love, SERVE ONE ANOTHER.
16 but i say WALK BY THE SPIRIT
and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh
for the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit
and the Spirit against the flesh;
for these are in opposition to one another,
so that you may not do the things that you please.
18 but IF you are LED BY THE SPIRIT,
you are not under the law
24
