SUGGESTED PRAYERS

When you make prayers for yourself, make it as short as possible, because God knows your heart and mind. If you pray from your heart, that prayer can be very powerful. I pray that these suggested prayers may be very helpful for you.
 
Day prayer:
O Heavenly Father, please protect me from all adversaries during the day and whomever I may associate with. If I offend anyone during the day, Lord Jesus, please forgive me and forgive that person too, so that I may have peace in my home and my work place. Bless me so that I can meet all my needs to feed the family and clothe them. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen!!!
 
Night Prayer:
O Heavenly Father Jehovah my comforter, may you have mercy upon me thy simple servant? Father I thank you and I praise your Holy Name for the breath of life that you have given me. I am asking you to give me peace as I lay my head on my pillow and give me a good night’s sleep. Amen!!!
 
Put on the whole armor of God:
Heavenly Father Jehovah, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, have mercy upon me thy simple servant. Father in the name of Jesus, I am asking for you to consecrate me from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet, in and out of my body, by putting the “Whole Armor Of God” upon me, so that I can be able to withstand the wiles of the Devil in Jesus mighty name. Amen!!!
 
I always take the blame, because God knows who was right or wrong. He will judge us fairly. I always ask God for forgiveness. Forgiveness is your answer for most problems.
 
I pray that these suggested prayers will be very helpful for you. Amen!!!

CONDEMN

When a person condemns the Father (Jehovah), he may pardon you.
When a person condemns the Son (Jesus), he may forgive you.
When a person condemns the Holy Spirit, it is unforgivable. In Hawaii we called it Aloha. (Good-bye) (You will be finished)
We should never, never condemn the Holy Spirit. There is no way out to my knowledge.
What is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity through whom God acts, reveals His will, empowers individuals and discloses His personal presence. In other words, God’s acting force. As stated in 1 John 5: 7-8, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are one.
We as human beings cannot judge or condemn anyone only God can judge us. If we judge, than judgment may come upon us. I am sure many of us don’t want that. Amen!!!
Even as a Reverend or Pastor, I am not perfect or should I say no one is perfect in this world except the Lord Jesus Christ. Every chance I have, I read what I have written in the Internet Church Topics as a reminder for me. Many of these topics came from God and I just write them down for him. I always say, Lord what do you want me to write today? Sometimes, nothing comes to my mind; that is when I tell myself, well Lord I have a break today and I will try another day.

Happy Holidays!!!

BLESSING OF FOOD CAN BE A GOOD START OF LEARNING HOW WE CAN PRAY.

One of my first prayers was blessing of the food and at the same time thanking the Lord for the food. By praying many times, I have gotten used to it and it has become natural for me today. Whenever, opportunity arises, I was asked to give the blessing of the food. Without hesitation, it would just come out from my mouth.

This is my personal prayer:
Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all my sins and have mercy upon me. I am asking for you to bless these foods whatever food was prepared for me today, as I am about to partake. May these foods nourish my body and heal all of my illness from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet, in and out of my body. Lord, whatever is not good, I am asking for you to cast it away in your mighty name. Thank You Jesus! Amen!!!
 
Note: I have seen many blessings of the food and many of them are a long, long prayer. The longest prayer was approx. 6 to 7 minutes, at that time, my hot food was getting cold, especially the soup. NO! NO! NO! It is not necessary to make a long prayer, unless you want to impress people around you. Impress God, not people. Before you make your prayer, God knows what is in your heart and mind. We must please God with all our heart and always ask God for forgiveness. Don’t you all agree with me? Amen!!!
 
Try this prayer for the coming Holidays.

AS GOD CLOSES ONE DOOR, HE OPENES ANOTHER

Why? He is a loving and forgiving God. If you read the whole bible from Genesis to Revelation, you will notice that God gets angry at us many times, but some how he forgives us. When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree, sure he punished both of them for being disobedient to him; however, he still had love in his heart for them by not destroying both of them. I believe he could have, if he wanted to, but he didn’t.
Remember King David? He committed adultery with Bathsheba. He asked God for forgiveness. Psalm 38: 1-22, 51: 1-19. The two main terms for forgiveness in Hebrew are nasa’, “to take away sin” and salach, “to pardon.”
Now let’s look at Jonah, he was disobedient to God by running away from where God instructed him to go, the city of Nineveh. Jonah took a ship and went in the opposite direction, so God taught him a lesson. After Jonah was cast into the sea, God arranged for a big fish to swallow him. Jonah was in the fish’s belly for three days and nights. Jonah then prayed to God from his heart for forgiveness and God ordered the fish to spit out Jonah onto the beach.
There is much written in our bible about people who have received forgiveness. Now we all know that we are full of sins, no one is perfect in this world. What is the answer? The only thing we can do is to keep asking God for forgiveness from our heart. Amen!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
From Rev. Jimmy Nishimoto and Chris Eliason

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?

Christmas is one of the joyous days, why? When you break the word Christmas into Christ-mas, for me, it means “CHRIST - MASS”. Many countries acknowledge, even if for only once a year, our Lord Jesus Christ by saying “Merry Christmas to all of
you”. At this time of the holidays, we as Christians must try to take advantage and mention our Lord Jesus Christ, so we may be able save a soul.

Bring all the Joy of the Lord to the people and try to save their souls. I truly believe the Lord will approve of this and will bless you. Always remember, the “Joy of the Lord is our strength in our life.” Amen!!! Pretty soon this year will be
over and we can make a New Year resolution by saying:

1) Lord, I am going to study your words in the bible and know them.
2) Lord, I am going to save the lost souls and bring them to you.
3) Lord, I will not gossip, as stated in James 3: 3-10. In the past and present, I have seen or will see them full of smiles and tears in their eyes at the end.
4) Lord, I am going to help the needy within my means.
5) Lord, it is not only the words from the bible, but to have a strong relation with you and the power of the Holy Spirit.
6) Lord, grant us the wisdom and knowledge so we can be able to understand many things.
7) Lord, show us the way, so we can be able to please you much more.

I am sure there are many reasons for all of us; however, these are some of the reasons we must focus on. Christians, we must always help one other and please God, not man. I am praying that all Christians will be united as one, it doesn’t matter what the names on the churches are; the buildings are only a shell. The true temple or church is within our hearts. Amen!!!

May the Lord Jesus bless you and your families next year. (2010) Amen!!! All of these Topics below came from God, I just write down these Golden Messages for the Lord. Sometimes, I receive these Golden Messages early in the morning. May the Lord
Bless each and every one of you.

Merry Christmas!!! From Rev. Jimmy Nishimoto and Chris Eliason.
