Day 529 1 John 1:1-13

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for His Spirit, Even in the darkest hour, I shall call upon your infilling of My Body and you shall consume me! I Thank The Lord for Worship, For it is not by mind, but Spirit that we shall edify you! I Thank The Lord for Grace, For we did not earn what has been freely given to all Men!

It is Written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God– children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” John 1:1-13

Prayer: Father, I Pray that each Believer in Jesus Christ Understand that we take on the new title as Children of God when we choose Him as our Lord in Savior. From only Jesus can bring us from out of the darkness into the Light!

Day 528 John 2:13-23

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Zeal, For He has put such a great passion for His Kingdom within our Spirit! I Thank The Lord for Our Temples, For He has given us these bodies to be Holy! I Thank The Lord for Authority, For Our True Power is from the Unseen!

It is Written, “When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken. Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.” John 2:13-23

Prayer: Father, I Pray That we understand what true zeal looks like, for Jesus rage against the religious sects, because the were not truthfully respecting The spirit of God. My Prayers are to all those who seek to worship you in Spirit and Truth in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 527 Philippians 3:1-14

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Shortcomings, For in my Weakness I have made Him my strength! I Thank The Lord for Reliance, For I have grown to understand that we must never lean to our own understanding! I Thank The Lord for Grace, For by His Word, we are not called to be Perfect!

It is Written, “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh– though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:1-14

Prayer: Father, I Pray a special prayer that we as your Children forget the shortcomings of the Past and Chose today to press fully into Jesus. I Pray that we let go our pride and shame to embrace your Grace and Forgiveness in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 526 1 Corinthians 9:11-18

Thanksgiving: Thanks Be to The Lord for Justice, For we are protected by the Unseen! Thanks be to The Lord for Equality, For we are all equally sinful in God’s eyes, Needing to be forgiven! Thanks be to The Lord for Vision, For we must look beyond what the world tells us.

It is Written, “If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel. But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast. For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel. ” 1 Corinthians 9:11-18

Prayer: Father, I Pray that those who are called to bring your Word in Spirit and Truth understand that they preach not in Vein, But to be rewarded by you. I pray that we see fully what you have to offer to those who seek to bring an unadulterated Word to this world in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 525 Luke 16:1-14

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Trust, For even our minds are against us, But our Faith is firmly in Christ Jesus! I Thank The Lord for Destiny, For those who were once Tax collectors and Prostitutes will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven before you! I Thank The Lord for True Equality, For God does not have Favorites!

It is Written, “Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’ “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg– I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’ “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ” ‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’ “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ” ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’ “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 16:1-14

Prayer: Father, I Pray that we use your wisdom to win those in the world and the wealth of the world to bring more to Christ! Let us understand that even though we are in the World, that we are not of this World and carry on the True Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
