What are you going to praise God for today? You likely have a long list, right?
However, today, we're going to do things differently.
Last Friday, we took the time to join each other in faith by praying on the things our fellow Peppers were waiting on God for.
This day, we're thanking God for what He's done for other Peppers. This will honor the word as stated in Romans 12:15 - Rejoice with those who rejoice...
Guy's, I suspect God wants to do some big things for all of us. Let's take this seriously as we give Him praise for other people today.
God bless you!
PS: I'm chuckling right now because Holy Spirit is up to something. When I sat down to write, I had no idea this is what fellowship would be about. But, phew, this will show how many of us have been paying attention to what others have said in prior posts. Lol! May I recommend you take some time and look at old posts? Or, you can check out the Testimony thread to thank God for what He did for folks.
CLOSING PRAYER
Father, I thank You for this opportunity to praise You for my fellow P&Pers. You are too kind. Thank You for the instruction to praise You for what You've done for them. Lord, be highly lifted up!
God, cover Your children who took the time from their schedules to fellowship today. Please remember those who gave You Your due praise. I thank You for them as well as those who will praise at a later point in time. I pray for Your mighty right hand to be raised for their good and to Your glory, IJMN, Amen.
From PBS - Thank You Father for Your Breakthroughs for Your dear children. Unexpected favor and prosperity, miraculous healings, obeying the Holy Spirit even when it doesn’t make any sense, rewarding our faithfulness, prospering us and blessing our work and households, protecting us as we navigate through the trials and temptations of this world—WE ARE IN AWE of Your Love and Presence in our lives!
Thank You Lord!!!
*From MFC* - Sovereign Lord, thank You for the caretakers @BI @AW @SS . Jesus, You told us that what we do for the least of us, we are doing unto you. Thank You for being with them every step of the way. Grant them words to speak, strength to serve, and love to reflect You in all they do.
Thank you Father God for covering and protecting @FFJ @JL79 @PBS You have called them out for Your purpose and in Your power. May they rise to every challenge that comes their way to give honor and glory to the Most High. May the peace of God reign in their lives and the joy of God uphold them through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
Our God and our Redeemer, has seen our group through the loss of family members, Covid, natural disasters, unemployment, and spiritual attacks. But in spite of these situations, I will give You thanks and praise because this is the will of God in Christ Jesus. Father, I choose not to worry about what I see. I pray for peace to rule our hearts. Lord thank You for what You’ve done, what You’re doing, and what You’re about to do.
Dear Lord, I pray that You surround the Peppers with those who will benefit them spiritually, emotionally and even physically. Lord I pray that those who do not add anything good to their life will be removed. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Father, I pray that the environment they are in is one that helps them to grow closer to you and stronger in their faith. Lord have Your divine way over all of their lives, in Jesus name Amen.
*From MFC* - Almighty God and Savior Jesus Christ, thank you for what you are doing in the lives of the Peppers. Thank You, Lord, because You fulfill Your promises each and every day.
Thank you for blessing @cmdr @IA84 and @CD with new homes and for giving them the strength to get through their moves. May the Holy Spirit touch each residence and fill each space with worship, peace and comfort.
We give thanks for healing miracles in the families of @CH33, @AC and @K. In the Name of Your Holy Son Jesus, we declare that sickness is temporary, and we focus our gaze on You, our Unchangeable God. Illness is under the feet of Jesus, and we claim total restoration now. Amen.
Glory to God for blessing @EC and her business. Even though she had a challenging situation, You worked it out for her good. We give thanks for the employment blessings you shared with @CX and @J. As you enlarge their territories, Holy Spirit fill them with the assurance that your plans are the best possible plans and that they can do all things in Christ who strengthens them.
LAST 10 MINUTES
I don't know about you, but today's P&P was different. We had to focus on thanking the Lord for our fellow P&Pers and not just ourselves. I believe that when we do what God wants, we unlock gates and blast open doors that may have been in our way.
Why don't we take a moment to thank the Lord for today's P&P?
Let us pray -
Sovereign Lord, we are Your humble servants. Thank You Lord for this exercise. For calling us to rejoice with others and give You praise for what You have done for them. You are worthy to be praised. Always!
Father, thank You for all You are doing for this group. Take all the glory. Pour out Your blessings upon individuals, the group, and what concerns them. We thank You for this opportunity to bless each other for You have instructed to do just that.
Hallelujah! IJMN, we pray!
Praise God folks! Thank Him for what He's done for You. Be happy in the Lord!
Faithful Friend! Gracious provider! You are all we need Lord!
My King, because of Your promises in Your word to provide for all our needs (Phil 4:19), to never put us to shame (Ps 34:5), and to be the source of all wealth (Dt 8:18), I come to You completely believing in You to meet the needs of all people. Whether people deserve it or not (2 Tim 2:13). Let Your grace and mercy speak on this matter. Lord, I know You will do it for the sake of Your name in Your people.
In Jesus' name, amen.

From BI - I lift into the capable hands of God those suffering from mental illness. Lord, I pray You help Your children to overcome the challenges brought on by a decline in their mental health. Surround them with Your love when they feel overwhelmed. Turn their faces towards You and grant them Your transcending peace. Lord, fill their lives with true happiness that can only come from You. Strengthen their mind, body and soul and fill them with the Holy Spirit IJMN Amen.
From AC - Yahweh Rapha, I come before You to plead your healing grace upon your faithful servant Uncle EK, who was recently diagnosed with cancer and held off from telling us because he didn’t want to spoil our vacation. I have never known a man so God-fearing, so gentle in spirit, humble, and full of humility. Even in his suffering, his concern was for us. He has faithfully and diligently served you and his church community my entire life, so I ask that you please heal him and deliver him from this disease and discomfort so that he can continue to advance Your kingdom. Thank You for bringing attention to this matter in the early stages. Thank You for the swift treatment he has been able to receive and the access to quality healthcare. Give strength and comfort to Auntie E and my dear cousins and bless them with a healing victory for Your glory. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Almighty God, I call out to You to help Your people to honor Your word in 1 Timothy 2:1 which calls us to give thanksgiving for others.
Help Your people to learn that we must praise You for those You put in our lives. Even those who might be too prickly to embrace. You made all sorts of people and are working on each one. I praise You God for being the God who has a plan for everyone and who is refining each person.
Thank You for making each of us a work in progress. All glory belongs to Your Holy Name, IJMN, Amen.
My God! The greatest Father who sits upon a mighty throne in heaven! The mightiest King who was and who is and who will be!
I stand in the gap for Your children. I ask that the world would see that we are in You just as Jesus is one in the father. Lord the gates of hell will not prevail. Please send help from Your sanctuary to support the Body of Christ all around the world. In Jesus' name, I ask this in faith, amen.
John 17:23 "I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."
From EB - Thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives, thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. Thank you that you are Able to bring hope through even the toughest of times, strengthening us for your purposes. Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Thank you that you are always with us and will never leave us. Thank you for your incredible sacrifice so that we might have freedom and life. Forgive us for when we don't thank you enough, for who you are, for all that you do, for all that you've given. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on you afresh. Renew our spirits, fill us with your peace and joy. We love you and we need you, this day and every day. We give you praise and thanks, for You alone are worthy! Amen
*From PBS* - Father, thank you for saving and delivering us! We love You!
I stand with you and agree with you and your beloved—thank you Lord—-accept our praise, usher in like a mighty rushing wind your BREAKTHROUGHS RIGHT NOW—over all of your children—-who call to you with expectant hearts and thanksgiving!!!
Let your Word manifest even greater in our lives—You have all power, You are Righteous—You alone should be feared— He who blew life into dust and formed us in Your image—You have all authority and power Father God!
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER!!!
Every opposition and agent of evil—every insurrectionist and plotters against our liberty, faith, and peace—every deceiver and lying tongue who say they do Your will—every dictator and oppressor—every weapon formed by man and the devil—-YOU ARE DEFEATED IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!
We walk in victory! We command every ache in our bodies, souls, and lives to bow its knees unto the captivity and submission of Jesus Christ and His Blood. We were bought at a high price, saved by grace and mercy, through the sacrifice and resurrection of God’s only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.
We should be shouting everyday that we did not receive a crown of thorns pressed into our heads. We did not receive the torture and chastisement that Jesus endured! Never forget what He did for you!
We should not go about with our heads and eyes cast down!!!
Look up—Jesus got you! Look inside—the Holy Spirit is with you! Look around you—His Love, Favor, Grace, Mercy, Joy, Peace, and Protection surround you. Goodness and Mercy follow you all the days of your life—every morning, every afternoon, every night!!!
Thank You Father for Your wisdom, understanding, and discernment!
Open up your mouths and speak forth the Word He’s given to you—it’s your weapon to FIGHT BACK. Stand firm! You already got the VICTORY!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!
In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen!’
Lord, I lift up everyone who has been affected by Hurricane Ian as well as other weather systems that brought damage and destruction to communities here and abroad.
Father You are the God of all comfort and the Father of compassion. For those who are struggling with the aftermath of bad weather, please be their Balm in Gilead. Comfort them in their distress and bring quick solutions to them, that they may recoup what was lost and get back to normal.
I also lift up all those who are working to help others recover - police officers, firemen and women, hospital staff, relief agencies and even individuals. So many have turned their attention to helping others, having to leave their own families, property and issues to serve. Lord, remember these ones as well. Bless them mightily. For You are more than able as stated in 2 Corinthians 9:8.
Please provide their needs in accordance with Philippians 4:17 and take all the glory, IJMN, Amen.
Father I thank You for being present in the lives of Your ministers. Thank You for lifting them out of the miry clay and setting their feet upon a rock (Psalm 40:2). I ask that You continue to eliminate the hindrances that try to oppose the fulfillment of their destiny. Thank You Lord for answering this prayer as You desire -- in Jesus' name, amen
PRAYER
Please pray for other people over the next 25 minutes. It seems like a lot of time but it isn't. So, let's make it count by praying for family members, friends, people in this group, nations and others.
God bless you!
1 Timothy 2:1 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people

I also want to thank You for all the testimonies shared in the testimony thread. Father, You worked things out for people in mighty ways. Thank You for being the God who reveals Himself to us.
Glory be to Your Holy Name.
