I Have Prayed For You

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -

I have asked the Lord to do this for you: If you’ve got an unwanted guest  in your body such as an infection, virus, inflammation or disease of any sort.  I pray that without hesitation your immune system will step in, like a bouncer who means business.  I command your body to release white blood cells and other chemicals that will  destroy these threats right now  in the name of  His son Jesus Christ. That elite squad of agents that zap invaders in your body -- like bacteria, viruses, and fungi -- In this hour, we come into agreement that they must now zoom through your entire body and defend you, powered by the blood of Christ Jesus.  We close all ports of entry into your body by these viruses and activate the wisdom needed to stay well and healthy in this hour. If you are not ill, as these  aliens  position themselves to attack your body they will not be able to get in through a cut, ride in on something you ate, filter through the air, or wait on a coin

Called to Love

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
I have been treated badly in recent times by persons who really should be the 'keepers of my soul' and people who claim that they 'love' me.

Think about it, it is so difficult to even forgive and love those we call friends whenever they hurt us, more so an enemy. Anyone who believes it is easy to bless those who curse us should think about it carefully. Quite often when we ha

31 Days of Prayers for Children: Day 11

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
DAY 11  (I am stressed out) Jesus, it's almost frightening to hear a little ten-year-old girl crying just how much she is stressed out. Deliver our children from their emotional and mental stresses and give them the strength and stamina to grow from each difficult.  The Child's Prayer:  I refuse to be stressed and I embrace my blessing today. Amen. Notes to Parents:   Don't underestimate the fact that your child could be a carrier of stress.  In times of adversity and turmoil, stress evokes strong emotions and causes uncertainty in all of us. As parents, we are in the best position to help our children. Here are five things we can do:   Supervise their tv time or use of the media and devices   Plan times away from devices where they can be creative and be engaged in outdoor activities   Listen whenever they want to speak.  Some children will want to talk about difficult situations and some won’t. Both reactions are common and natural.   Be calm. Th
