Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Wedding Day that is before us! I Thank the Lord for He is the One that preparest His Bride. I Thank the Lord, for we are Mere Mortals and He is not of this world!

 

It is written, “You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.  Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.  In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.  Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.  Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.  You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.  All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.  Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.” Psalms 45:2-9

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you prepare our Hearts and Spirits for the Worship that is to come!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Pain, for in our brokenness we found His Love. I Thank the Lord for emptiness, only there can we know what it is to want. I Thank the Lord for His Blood, for without it, I would not have Life!

 

It is written, “Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains; they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.” Psalms 104:1-9

 

Prayer: I Pray that Mankind stop looking at what is seen as real and realize that true life does not last in the moment, but the Eternity that is before us!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord that he loves me through all my ups and downs. I Thank the Lord that His love for me is greater than the sins I have committed. I Thank the Lord for Grace, because without it, we would be condemned by all men!

It is Written, “Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.  In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice,  “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested me; they tried me, though they had seen what I did. For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘they are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways.’ Psalms 95:1-10

Prayer: I pray Lord that you put praise and Joy into our hearts, for all our knowledge, we still do not know your way!

Day 65 1 Corinthians 1:7-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord who strengthens me Day and Night! I Thank the Lord for Healing and Deliverance in His Mighty and Powerful Name! I Thank the Lord that in all things, He has shown us Love and Compassion!

It is Written, “Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.  He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:7-9

“Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.” I am moved by the Love of Christ. For with the Greatest Sacrifice to ever be offer to Humanity, Christ redeemed all mankind from the grave. This alone makes him great and worthy to be praised! If redemption was not enough, Jesus left another in his place, a counselor, so that we may not be alone. Through the Holy Spirit, we are baptized into the same Spirit that was within Jesus and through this Spirit, we are given gifts. As we wait for the Return of Our Lord, we are called to eagerly seek spiritual gifting’s as people refers in Corinthians.

“He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” So who will keep us firm to the end and blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Holy Spirit; if there was any other way; Paul would have called us to just be Blameless unto the Day of Our Lord’s Return. How can we be blameless? As the Scriptures point to, it is through the gifts of the Spirit. I know many people wrestle with these things, but we must understand this, “God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” If God has called you, then he is Faithful to keep you. We must keep to the example set by the original apostles. They prayed and fasted until the baptism of the Spirit. God has called you today and in Jesus Name I pray you eagerly seek the Gifting’s that will carry you to the Day of our Lord’s return!

Prayer: I Pray in Jesus Name that the Lord Bless all with the Spirit of Understanding!

 

Day 64 Psalms 13:5-6

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Day to sing praises unto Him! I thank The Lord that He hears our cries and prayers and blesses us. I am Thankful for the Love that comes from knowing Christ Jesus!

It is Written,“But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he has been so good to me.” (Psalms 13:5-6)

“But I trust in your unfailing love.” God’s unfailing love, what does this mean to us? Well, think about it this way, the Lord set a standard which is His Word and promise given unto us. We all know the Word that was sent, because it our daily bread and for the promise, it is the Holy Spirit who Jesus said will be with us forever! God so loved us he not only gave us scripture to live by, but a counselor whenever we need help on any situation. So when someone in the bible says they put their trust into the Lord, it means 100 percent Faithfulness. Now how many of us have had this track record with our emotions towards God? I know many times when I come under distress or trails, I used to feel like my faith was weakening or God wasn’t hearing my prayers. Even when I was lost in the world, I used to feel that I had sinned to the point where God come never use me. But it is by God’s Grace that this wasn’t the truth. Have you ever wondering why people don’t pray for the Spirit of Happiness? Because it is the Spirit of Joy that will keep us always!
.
“I will rejoice because you have rescued me I will sing to the Lord because he has been so good to me.” I truly rejoice in the Lord for saving me. I praise him because when I felt beat up, lost and defeated, he renewed me and lifted me up. For if True Love is the essence of the Lord; then Love can never be about emotions. Emotions can change like seconds in the day, But God has remain the same even before the beginning of time. This is why Jesus calls us above all things to Love. This is why when Paul said even over hope and his own Faith he would chose Love. We must understand that it is not about the feeling; it is about the security of the Word of the Lord that we should seek for daily. If you believe in the Lord because of your feelings, then where would that leave you? Joy one day and then you are lost another. We are called to believe and Love the Lord through every up and down, because that is what he has done for us. When you start understanding that Love is not an emotion, but a firm commitment, you will truly know the Heart of your Father who is in Heaven.
.

Prayer: I Pray in Jesus Name that everyone who reads this today is blessed with the Love and Compassion of the Lord!

Day 63 Acts 9:26-28

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Breath, for without His Mercy and Love that is renewed daily, all men would be lost. I Thank the Lord for trails, for they strengthen us for His Glory and Destiny!

It is written, “When Saul arrived in Jerusalem , he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They thought he was only pretending to be a believer!  Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus . Barnabas also told them what the Lord had said to Saul and how he boldly preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus .  Then the apostles accepted Saul, and after that he was constantly with them in Jerusalem , preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.”(Acts 9:26-28)
“When Saul arrived in Jerusalem , he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him.” Many people do not understand the story of Paul. When God came and commissioned Paul to do his Will, he went out and started to preach the Word boldly. Well, the problem with this is that the established church authority was in Jerusalem . So, why were these groups of believers so afraid of Paul? Because of the signs and wonders he was working in and the boldness of his speech. He was so anointed with the Word, that they felt people could not really be a Brother in Faith. “They thought he was only pretending to be a believer!  Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus . Barnabas also told them what the Lord had said to Saul and how he boldly preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus .”
“Then the apostles accepted Saul, and after that he was constantly with them in Jerusalem , preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.” It is truly amazing to see that it wasn’t until Paul was constantly with the believers did they accept him. I have might many many many anointed men and women of God who have been rejected by the church. It is daily that I receive email messages from people who have such an anointing from the Lord, but when the go to their pastor of the Church they are rejected or turn away. Just like in the Word, it is fear that is in operation. Paul was ordained by Jesus himself to go out and preached the Word and you would think that he would have been well received, but this is not the case. I know many people have received a special ministry from the Lord. Many times we look for approval from others to confirm this, but understand that even Paul had suffer through doubt and fear from his own people. But what did Paul do? He persevered through it all to so that the Lord was with him. If God has blessed you, show it to the world. Even through all fear and misunderstanding, work hard to accomplish what the Lord has commissioned you to do. Even if the church rejects you, it is the Lord who judges you.

 

Prayer: I Pray that every man understand that God’s Grace is Sufficient through every needs and every trail in Jesus Name!

Day 62 Genesis 11:4-9

Thanksgiving: I give thanks to The Lord for guiding and directing my path. I have been given much and seek to show my Love for His Grace and Mercy. I seek to praise the Most High God and bring Glory to His Name!

It is written, “Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”  But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.  The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.  Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”  So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.  That is why it was called Babel–because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4-9

“Then they said, “Come let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens…” In the early part of human history, men spoke one language. By this time, they were corrupted with sin and sought to build monuments to themselves as an expression of their greatness. “The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” Now, we must understand how deep this statement that was from The Lord. When men come in one accord with the same language, there is power. Scripture reveals that through Christ we can do all things, but we must remember how this is accomplished.

The Lord came down and confused the language of men. Once all men had the same language, cursed with confusion, speak many different languages. Many of us communicate within our different languages, but we must understand, the root of all spoken languages is just Babel. For men speak with silver tongues, but their language is just gibberish. I know many may not understand these things, but when Jesus died and made way for the Holy Spirit, once again were we able to speak the Language that we lost at Babel.  “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?” Acts 2:4-8

Even though they were speaking in tongues, those of all different backgrounds heard their own language. How can this be? We must understand that we cannot be moved by anything that isn’t God inspired. There are many who will try and move you away from the Truth that the Spirit of the Lord brings. It is important you receive what the Lord has for you, only by the Baptism of Jesus shall you discovery the Promise that is available to all men.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I pray and intercede for all who want to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name!

Day 61 Matthew 4:1-11

It is written, “Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil.  For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry.  Then the Devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God. ‘Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple , and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, He orders his angels to protect you. And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.’ “Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, `Do not test the Lord your God.’* “Next the Devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory. 9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “If you will only kneel down and worship me. “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, you must worship the Lord your God; serve only him. “Then the Devil went away, and angels came and cared for Jesus.” Matthew 4:1-11

 

“Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil.  For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry.” We must understand that the temptation of Christ did not happen until after receiving His Baptism. In Preparation of his attack against the enemy, he fasted for 40 days only to be nourished by the Word of the Lord. Even though Jesus was weakened in His Body, he was overwhelming strengthen in His Spirit! He exchanged natural food for the supernatural power of God’s Word. “Then the Devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread.” Now stop here, I don’t want you to miss what was just said. The devil asked Jesus if he was the son of God, he would command the stones. Now, the devil knew Jesus was the Son of God, but said if so he could see how Jesus would react. If you don’t know who you are in the Lord, it will not be validity but the enemy. The devil through every situation is trying to test your faith and what your destiny is in the Lord. I can’t tell you how many people fall under the lie of sin. They see what they have done in their life and because of their actions; they condemn themselves to living a life that isn’t who they are. We must see this lie and cut it off at the root!

 

“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.” Combat the devils lie with the Word of the Lord. Through every situation, Use God’s Word to validity what is going on. We all fall on hard times and even looking at this situation that Jesus was going through, we could have said, “ Oh well, I was hungry and didn’t eat for 40 days that is why I failed.” It is only by the Strength that comes from the hearing and doing the Word of The Lord that we are made stronger. Don’t ever give into the lies of the devil. If he tried to deny that Jesus was the Son of the Most High God, then how much will he comes against you and your destiny? God has a plan for your life that was set a long time ago, but how much longer will you let the lies of the enemy stop you from becoming what God has called you too?

 

Day 60 Hebrews 3:12-14

It is written,“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.” (Hebrews 3:12-14)
.
“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.” I remember speaking to a gentleman who told me that he had lost his Faith. He felt that the sin’s he had committed in the past were too great for God to forgive him of. In buying into this belief, he stop serving the Lord altogether and lived a life believing that he could never serve the Lord. “Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters make sure your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving….” By understand this passage; we can see how someone can buy into the lie of not being unforgiving by the Lord. I know many who have prayed for the forgiveness of the Lord, but their Heart condition is so filled with unbelief that they did not change their sinful ways.
.
We must understand that unforgiveness doesn’t come from the Lord, but from our own heart condition. If our hearts were filled with Faith and Joy, we would live a life a victory, but evil things hold us back from the blessings of the Lord. “Choose you today who you will serve.” Who are you going to live for today? We have a choice of standing on what God has professed in our life or living a life of sin. In the case of this gentleman, he was living a life in a backslid state for so long, that his disobedience became a life style. People live a life of sin for so long, they start believing that is who they are, but rejoice, because Jesus came to set us free of these things!
.
“You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.” As we read, we must encourage each other everyday, so that none of us will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. Just like the gentlemen who I talked to, he was so deceived by his sin, he was hardened against God. He believed that God could not forgive him and cleanse him of his past, because he was not encouraged of the Promise of the Lord today. “You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today.” We are all called to encourage each other everyday. If we truly love each other like the Father in Heaven, then we are called to Love and encourage each other as long a sit is called “today.” I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of one day that I wake up that wasn’t called today! This isn’t a misprint; God was making a point with his Word. Everyday is called today and we are called to encourage one another so that known of us are hardened by sin. Act of the Word of the Lord, Believe in the saving power of his Word and let today be the day where you go out and encourage others in the saving power of the Lord!

Day 59 1 Corinthians 12:4-7

It is written,“Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.  A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.”(1 Corinthians 12:4-7)
.
 “Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all.” Taking a quote from Paul, “Now Brothers and sisters, concerning about spiritual gifting, I do not want you to be ignorant!” It is important for the body of Christ to understand what the purpose of Spiritual gifting. As you have read this posting, God has a special purpose for your life and when I say you, I mean you. When God created you, he put inside of you something special to give to the world and when Jesus died, he gave us the Holy Spirit to gain access to the power to achieve God’s plan for your life. This may come as a surprise to some and a reminder, but the promise of the Holy Spirit is the way to access the giftings that The Lord wants you to bring to this world. “There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving.” As there are different services to be done within the church and the body of Christ, so shall there be different people to do these things. It has been assumed before, that when many answer the calling of The Lord that they will become a preacher, but there are more areas within the church that need servicing. Some will feed the poor; others will evangelize to the youth and to other will help the elderly, but all will be done for the Glory of The Lord.
 
“There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.” The Lord uses us all in different ways. He has blessed me with my online minister and to another it might be passing on what they learn to a co-worker at work. You never know how God will use you, but never think that what you are doing is less than anyone else. It is just like a finger thinking it is less than the head, all in all, they both work together to make up the body. “A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.” We are all gifted to help the whole body of Christ. Today, I pray that those who know there calling in the Lord continue forth and those who yet do not know, Pray and ask the Lord to reveal to them their part in the kingdom. God has a plan for your life and once you figure this out, you will be operating in the Gifting God has for you.
