“Good morning, good morning, good morning. I want to give God thanks for each and every one of you. And I want to welcome you to another episode of our EBC Prayer Podcast.

God is a good God, a mighty God, a wonderful God, a holy God, a God who cares so much about us. He cares more about us than we even care about ourselves. And so I want to welcome you again.

Remember, I am your host. I am Dr. Victoria Haddad, the First Lady of Elion Bible Church, Apostolic in New Jersey. God has been blessing us in so many different ways.

And so today, we want to celebrate the Lord. Today is June 29th, 180 day of the year. And God have not given up on us.

Pray our works, pray with us ceasing. Don't stop praying, trust God, and let God will be accomplishing our life. We are starting on the Book of Malachi.”

“And we're going to read our scripture today, Malachi 3 verse 10. And it reads, Bring ye all the tithes into the store houses, that there may be meat in my house. And prove me now therefore, say the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive.

Today, the Lord is asking us to give. Give pay our tithes in our store houses. Give to him so that he can open those windows of heaven and pour back out on us a blessing that we never even thought possible.

Blessing that's greater than what we can do because he's God. So let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, our wonderful God, our holy God, our righteous God, our heavenly God, our Savior, the one who spoke and it was done, the one who commanded and it stood fast, the God who never give up on us.

Lord, here we are in your presence. We don't want Lord God to give upon you because you are God and nothing is impossible for you. So here we are, Jesus, asking for your guidance, “asking for your protection, asking for your power so your will can take place in our life, Lord.

You are the Father to the fatherless, the one who can do might to work to each and every one of us. So Lord, we come before you today with our heart full of gratitude, thanking you for the countless blessing you are bestowing upon us. You are pouring out on us each and every day.

And as we gather in your presence, God, help us never to give upon you. Help us, Lord God, never to stop praying, never to stop trusting you. But Lord God, help us to believe your word, take you at your word.

And Lord God, believe that what you are asking us and promising to do, God, will come to pass. Because God, you are saying to each and every one of us, God, that we should pray, God, and pay our tithes and not give upon you. You said, bring he all the tithes into the storehouses that there may be meat in my house.”

“Lord, you are encouraging us to go to churches, God, that we should not be afraid to give, not afraid to pay our tithes, not afraid, Lord God, to offer God, to the church house that we are membership with. Lord God, you are encouraging our hearts, Lord God, that God, there is a blessing in store for us, God, when we are able to help God, our church leader, when we are able, Lord God, to help God, the bills that are due, when we are able, Lord God, to contribute, oh God, there is so much in store you have for us, God. So you said, Lord God, when we bring tithes into the store houses, into our church, God.

God, you said that God, that will help Lord God to have meat in their house, that God, the bills will be paid, and our leaders, God, will have what they need to take care of them. You said, Lord God, when we do that, we can prove God to you, because you are the Lord of hosts, you are the God, you are the creator, and God, we know you have funding to send a different “way, but God, you want us to trust you, you want us to depend on you, you want us to truly believe that you are God, that Lord God, when you see us, God, stepping up by faith, when you see us helping, when you see us doing something good, God, you said, God, that you will open the windows of heaven, hallelujah, Jesus. Thank you for encouraging us, God, that God, you see everything that we do, and when we are pleasing you, God, there's a shower of blessing that you're pouring out in our life, a shower of blessing that will open door for us whenever thought possible, a shower of blessing that will bless us significantly in a mighty protective way, because God, you are gonna pour out that blessing in our life.

None of us is more blessed than you. None of us can open doors that you can open. None of us, God, have got to know how to truly, truly blossom the way you can blossom in our life, God.

And that's why you said, God, that you will, oh God, we won't even have room enough to receive your blessing. No matter “how much we think we have, it won't be enough for your blessing. So help us to be givers, God.

Help us to pay our tithes, God. Help us to take care, God, of your houses, God. Help us to take care of our leaders, God.

Help us to do the thing that are pleasing to you, God. Help us to, God, to take care of everyone even associated with us, related to us, God. Those who are in need, God.

Help us, Lord, God, not to give up on you, oh God, and withdraw and hold on to everything. Because sometimes, God, when we close those doors, we don't even get the blessing when you're pouring because the doors are closed. But help us to open up, God.

Help us to give. Help us to fully surrender to you. So we can see your blessing take place in our life, Lord God.

Father, we know, God, that you have some great nourishment and support, that God, you are encouraging our heart to trust you and to pour out all God to everyone in need. Lord God, we thank you for encouraging us in your word. We thank you, “God, for testing our faith.

We thank you, God, for reminding us that when we step up our faith, you will bless, you will open heaven doors, you, God, will provide in a mighty way because, God, you want us, your God, to do something that will get your attention. So, Lord, we are seeking and we are depending upon you, we are reaching out to you and rejoicing as we go through this day. Let this not be a depressive day, God, but let it be a joyful day, a day when we can do good for somebody, a day when we can go out and celebrate you, a day when we can just give you thanks, a day when we can rejoice and worship the God in whom we serve.

Father, remember all those who are praying today and all those who are seeking you. Let none of us give up on you, but all of us to keep on praying and keep on trusting you and believe you in your mighty name we pray. Amen.

“I want to encourage everyone who are praying today, keep on praying, keep on rejoicing, keep on trusting God. And the Lord is encouraging us to give, pay our tithes when we go to church, take care of our leaders, do what we can do. And I'm encouraging all of you, trust God, because God said, I, He, God, will open the windows of heaven and pour us out the blessing that we don't even have room enough to receive.

Have a great day and we'll pray again tomorrow. God bless you. Bye bye.”
