Day 539 2 Peter 3:1-9

Posted on July 29, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Love, For we receive freely everyday from Heaven which we can not find in this World! I Thank The Lord for Just One, For we are all called to spread the Gospel to all people, Imagine if we all brought a single person to Christ! I Thank The Lord for The Calling, For a Man will Leave his Mother and Father to unity with His Love!

It is Written, “Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:1-9

Prayer: Father, I Pray that as the days grow wicked, that your Children are not lead astray. For the time has come where Satan and his children are taking their place on earth. Let us not give into the lies of this world, but Keep to the Faith and Understanding of your Coming in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 538 Philippians 4:1-9

Posted on July 28, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Timing, For he knows exactly when to come by our side! I Thank The Lord for Prayers, For we are called to enter in the throne room of Grace! I Thank The Lord for Petitions, For after we have prayed and fasted, We shall bring our requested to The Father!

It is Written, “Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:1-9

Prayer: Father, I Pray that we take hold of your Word and not be anxious anything, but seek you in every situation and to keep the Hope of your Love in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 537 2 Corinthians 1:3-11

Posted on July 25, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Compassion, For God sees our struggles we have in this fight for salvation! I Thank The Lord for Comfort, For we are called to take refuge in the High tower of our God! I Thank The Lord for Hope, For we shall stand firm in Christ Jesus!

It is Written, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-11

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I Pray that as we endure this Christian Fight of Faith, that your children continue to be strengthen through this time of testing and suffering. Through our testimony may you be lifted on high in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 536 Titus 3:1-11

Posted on July 20, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Rulers, For we are to pray and respect the authority God has put in place! I Thank The Lord for Resistance, For we are called to flee all kinds of temptation that is within this world! I Thank The Lord for Rebirth, For we have been renewed by the Power of the Holy Spirit!

It is Written, “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned. Titus 3:1-11

Prayer: Dear Father, I Continue to Pray and Encourage those who seek to devout themselves to the Calling of your Kingdom. I Pray that as we are refined by you, that you continue to make it evident as to those who are called to represent your Kingdom in Spirit and Truth in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 535 Ephesians 6:10-20

Posted on July 18, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Armor, For we are called daily to put on our Spiritual Vestments to stand against this world schemes! I Thank The Lord for Authority, For we are haven be given power to overcome on earth and in the Heavens! I Thank The Lord for Praying in the Spirit, For we are called to pray without ceasing!

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Prayer: Father, I Pray that we not only read your Word, but take hold of it powers. Jesus did not only fight temptation, He lived a life with Authority. I Pray your people come to the understanding of Authority and the Power it brings over Darkness in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 534 Colossians 2:16-23

Posted on July 17, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Freedom, For Christ came to release Humanity from the Bonds of this World! I Thank The Lord for Humility, For it shall never exalt itself! I Thank The Lord for Life in The Spirit, For it shall always be greater than that of the flesh!

It is Written, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.” Colossians 2:16-23

Prayer: Father, I pray for all those who seek to scorn the flesh to increase their Spirit life. As it is written, we are to increase in Spirit to train the flesh. The only way to fight temptation is not by harsh treatment of the body, but to be obedient to the calling of the Spirit. I Pray that we seek what The Spirit is calling us to in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 533 Ephesians 1:1-10

Posted on July 16, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Spiritual Blessings, Through Christ Jesus we have been blessed with All Authority from the Heavenly Realms! I Thank The Lord for Predestination, For we have given sonship to God through Jesus Christ! I Thank The Lord for Wisdom and Understanding, For they are the key to unlocking the mysteries of God’s Kingdom!

It is Written, “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will– to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment–to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Ephesians 1:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray for all those who thirst and seek to gain insight into your Word. Let those who seek Wisdom and Understanding come to the Knowledge of your Deep Revelations in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 532 2 Peter 3:1-10

Posted on July 15, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Patience, For we know the Day of the Lord shall be upon us like a thief in the night! I Thank The Lord for Perseverance, For we continue with the Faith though we are mocked by the World! I Thank The Lord for His Word, For this world shall pass away and we the faithful shall be rewarded!

Prayer: Father, I pray that we as your Sons and Daughters of the Most High God continue on the good fight of Salvation through these changing times! For we who were the many are now becoming the few. For what men kept in darkness is now be heralded as the new light. I pray that we kept Christ alive as we are condemned for honoring your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 531 James 3:1-12

Posted on July 14, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Obedience, For God’s know it takes more than sacrifice to over come! I Thank The Lord for Breakthrough, For we all put our Hope and Faith in Jesus hearing our prayers! I Thank The Lord for Listening, For The Holy Spirit is always speaking to us, shall we not hardened our hearts, but lend an ear!

It is Written, “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” Hebrews 3:1-12

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I Pray that we as your Children remember what you have called us to and where you have delivered us from in Jesus Name, Amen! For we have all sinned and fallen short, but have send One who speaks to our hearts on your Behalf!

Day 530 James 1:12-18

Posted on July 12, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: Thanks be to The Lord for Trails, For we are not tested by The Lord, but desires that come against us! Thanks be to The Lord for Perseverance, For those who keep from temptation shall build character before God! Thanks be to The Lord for Grace, For it Shall remind us that our true Strength is in God!

It is Written, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.” James 1:12-18

Prayer: Father, I pray for all who endure temptations through this life, for it shall pass and those who remain strong in the Lord shall reap a great Harvest in Jesus Name, Amen!
