Morning Prayer with Pastor Sean Pinder

You Should Be Grateful For What God Has Done

Do not forget to be thankful. Everything in your life may not be the way you want it, but you still have plenty to give God thanks for. Stop looking at what you do not have. You should be grateful for what you have. Thank God for the breath in your lungs, the food on your table, the clothes on your back. You could have been dead, but you are still alive, so take a moment and bless God for being so good to you.
Do not be like the nine lepers. As Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, he entered a village and encountered ten lepers who had leprosy. They cried out for Jesus to have mercy on them, and He did. Jesus told them to go show themselves to the priest, and they would be healed. They did as He said, and they were all healed.
But even though ten lepers were all healed, only one came back to Jesus to thank Him. He was a Samaritan, and He fell at Jesus’s feet, praising God. “Didn’t I heal ten men?” Jesus said. “Where are the nine?” Jesus told the one who was grateful, “Go your way. Your faith has made you whole.”

God Will Give You Another Chance

Samson was chosen by God from his birth, and when he was grown, God used him mightily to defeat the enemies of the Israelites, the Philistines. God gave Samson supernatural strength, and he was able to annihilate 1,000 Philistines with just the jawbone of a donkey. But even though Samson was sometimes strong physically, he was weak spiritually.
He loved the Philistine women, and recognizing this weakness, the Philistines seized the opportunity to bring him down. They paid a Philistine woman, Delilah, who Samson loved, to make him reveal the secret of his strength. Delilah nagged Samson until he could take it no longer. He told her that he was a Nazarite from birth, and that he was never to cut his hair, which was a symbol of his covenant.
The Philistines cut Samson's hair and seized him. Samson thought he would shake them off like he did in the past, but the Spirit of God had left him. The Philistines put out Samson’s eyes and made him grind in their prison. But in prison, Samson’s hair began to grow again. Samson prayed to God, and God gave him another chance. The Philistines threw a party at their temple, and Samson leaned between the two pillars. With God’s help, he brought down the two pillars, which destroyed the temple as well as over 3,000 Philistines. God is merciful. He is reaching out to you. Accept the opportunity to make it right. God will give you another chance.

Breakthrough in 24 Hours

The wicked king of Ammon, King Nahash, whose name meant serpent, gathered an army and came against the Israelite town of Jabesh-Gilead. The people of Jabesh-Gilead requested peace and pleaded with Nahash to be his servants. Nahash agreed, but he also said that he would pluck out the right eyes of all the men as a disgrace to Israel. The people of Jabesh-Gilead told Nahash if they did not receive help in seven days, he could do just that.
Quickly, Jabesh-Gilead sent messengers to Saul, pleading for help. Saul had just been anointed king over Israel, and the Spirit of God came upon him when he heard the news. Saul became very angry, and the fear of God fell on the Israelites. They came together as one before Saul, a mighty army of 330,000 men. Saul sent messengers to Jabesh-Gilead, saying they would receive help by noontime the next day.
Dawn had scarcely arrived when King Saul attacked the Ammonites. The Ammonite army was so ravished, that not even two who escaped were left together. Help is on the way! God may not come when you want Him, but He is always on time. Have faith. God will give you a breakthrough in 24 hours!

Pastor Sean Prays For Your Healing

Join your faith with Pastor Sean as he prays for your healing. It is God’s will to heal you. Jesus healed when He walked this earth, and He still heals today. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God said in Exodus 15, I am the God who heals you. He did not say, I was the God who healed. He said, I am.
When Jesus died on the cross, He shed His blood, so you could receive forgiveness of sins as well as healing in your physical body. He was wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities, and by His stripes, you are healed.
As a child of God, you have a right to be healed. Jesus paid for your sickness on Calvary. Reach out in faith and receive your healing. Just believe. All things are possible with God.

God Will Get You Through This

You may be experiencing a storm in your health, relationships, finances, or employment, but do not be afraid. Jesus is in your boat, and since God is with you, you can hold your peace and smile at the storm. The disciples experienced a terrifying storm right before Jesus delivered the demoniac of Gadarenes.
Jesus had told them to get into their boat and cross over to the other side, but along the way, they encountered some demonic resistance. The disciples thought they were going to drown, but Jesus was asleep on a pillow. Lord, don’t you care that we’re going to perish, the disciples cried. Have you ever felt that the winds and the waves were going to swallow you, and God was sleeping?
Jesus arose and rebuked the storm. Peace be still! Suddenly there was a great calm. After every great storm, there is a great peace. After every great battle, there is a great victory. Jesus asked His disciples why they had so little faith. He had told them they were going over to the other side, not under. When God is on your side, you cannot go under. You are going to overcome because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. God will get you through this!

God Will Make A Way

Stop looking at what you do not have and give God thanks for what you do have. Do like Jesus when He multiplied the five loaves and two fish. He broke the bread and gave thanks. Phillip and Andrew and the other disciples were looking at what they did not have, but Jesus was grateful for what they did have.
A large crowd had gathered to hear Jesus preach, and Jesus asked Phillip how they should feed them all. Phillip replied that they would never have enough money to buy bread for the large gathering, even if they worked for months. Andrew brought a little boy to Jesus who had five loaves and two fish, but Andrew said that was nothing compared to the huge crowd.
Jesus, however, took the fives loaves and two fish and gave thanks. When the disciples distributed them to the people, a miracle happened. God multiplied the food, and after the crowd had eaten to their satisfaction, there were twelve baskets of food left over. Put your faith in God. All things are possible with Him. God will make a way!

Keep On Believing and You Will Win

Nothing is too hard for God, not even death. Dare to keep on believing. It’s not over until God says it’s over. A leader of the local synagogue learned this when his daughter was deathly ill. Immediately, he went to Jesus and pleaded with Him to heal his daughter.
Jesus went with Jairus to his house, but on the way, one of Jairus’s messengers arrived with news that his daughter had died. “Be not afraid,” Jesus told Jairus, “Only believe.” Just have faith. All things are possible with God.
When Jesus arrived at Jairus’s house, many were gathered weeping over the girl’s death. Jesus told them not to cry, but they laughed at Him, so He made them all leave. With the girl’s parents and three of His disciples, He went into the room where she was lying. Taking her hand, He told her to get up, and she did. It’s never too late for God. Keep on believing. You will win!

The Lord is Working For You

A mighty army of Philistines came up against the Israelites, and the Israelites were so terrified, they hid themselves in caves, dens, and cisterns. They were so fearful, they did not realize God was on their side, and He was greater than the enemy they faced. Even King Saul was terrified, but he had a son who dared to believe in the power of God.
Jonathan and his armorbearer snuck away from the Israelite camp and approached the Philistines. He did not even tell his father about his plan, and sometimes, you cannot tell everyone what God is about to do in your life because they will choke your faith. You have to surround yourself with people of like precious faith.
When the Philistines saw Jonathan and his armorbearer, they told them to come up to them. “Climb up after me,” Jonathan told his armorbearer, “the Lord will help us defeat them.” The Philistines fell before Jonathan and his armorbearer, and they panicked and started killing each other. The Israelites got the victory that day, and God will give you the victory if you can dare to believe in Him. Have faith. The Lord is working for you!

God Favors You

Joseph’s jealous brothers had sold him to Ishmaelite traders, and he was brought down to Egypt where he was purchased by an Egyptian officer, Potiphar. Joseph’s brothers thought they got rid of Joseph and his God-given dreams, but God’s favor was on Joseph’s life.
The Lord was with Joseph and made him prosper in everything he did. Potiphar recognized God’s hand was on Joseph’s life, so he put Joseph in charge of everything he owned. God blessed Potiphar for Joseph’s sake, but Potiphar’s wife began to lust after Joseph. She begged him to lie with her, but Joseph was a man of integrity. He refused, so she lied that he tried to rape her.
Potiphar threw Joseph into prison, but God was with Joseph and gave him favor with the prison ward. The prison ward put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison, and God made Joseph successful. During his stay in prison, Joseph encountered Pharaoh’s butler and interpreted his dream. Later, the butler mentioned him to Pharaoh, and Joseph was made the second ruler over all of Egypt.
