I just want to share with you this powerful prayer, the Prayer to Take Authority which was the opening prayer of every Catholic Charismatic Renewal Community, especially here in our little community in Sto.Niño Parish Church, Cadiz City. We made this as our opening prayer before we started our prayer meetings, fellowship gatherings and Bible Enthronements, entrusting all to God to pour out His Holy Spirit on us and on our midst overflowing us the gifts of His Spirit, filling our hearts with love, joy and peace.
This is part of my active spiritual life every Mondays as our prayer meeting day, and every Sunday our Bible Enthronement where we spread the Good News in every homes and families mostly those who haven't accepted Jesus in their lives yet. We inspired and encouraged them to attend the Holy Mass every Sunday, hear and listen to His Words through the Gospel, participate in worshiping God through the Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist as the highest form of prayer and worship, and received His Body and Blood though the Sacrament of the Holy Communion. Our goal is to bring more people closer to God by sharing them His wonderful Words through Bible sharing, true to life testimonies of God's wonderful gifts of healing, blessings and miracles.
God really works mysteriously in my life, He brought me closer to this community and the people here welcomed and embraced me wholeheartedly as I started my life anew, as they witnessed how God transformed me in so many ways, how I am submitting myself fully to His Will and Purpose. If only I could share to you a novel of my life-story, you too will be amazed how God does many miracles in my life.
Perhaps, in due time I can gradually reveal to you from the very start how my life started as a sinner. But God do really loves us so much that He won't allow us to be thrown into the pit of darkness. He will always be there ready to save us if we just submit ourselves fully to Him and let His will be done for us and trust in His loving kindness.
Life with God is full of love, joy, peace and compassion. He knows all our needs and He provides it abundantly, more than we ask for and expect. He listen and fulfill every desires of our hearts. Walking with Him leads us in the righteous path through His Kingdom. So, let us be prayerful enough as we struggle in getting closer to Him all the days of our lives and let us ask His gift of grace that we may be able to walk with Him in faith, love and compassion with others and may He bless and use us to be a blessing also to other people most in need not only financially but above all, spiritually. And may God bless all the works in our hands as we prepare our souls in His final coming.
By the way, this is also a powerful prayer especially in most critical and needed times of our lives. I can still remember of the intensity 5.9 quake which hit the Island of Negros last Feb. 2012 that caused many deaths, damage and homeless families, and it lasted for longer minutes, but rather than panic, I gathered my family members and prayed this Prayer to Take Authority, so that God and His angels will take care of everything and God will be in control. And it does worked, it will ease and relax your mind and spirit in His care. You can try this too and feel God's presence. May we will always gather in prayers and proclaim His goodness no matter the time or the place and may we be always prepared on His coming and calling to us for the last and final days of our lives. "To God Be All The Glory!"
Always remember, "God is working in ways we cannot see."
Be blessed,
Nonie f.
