Day 550 Colossians 1:1-12

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

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Angels, For we have access to thousands of supernatural soldiers in Jesus Name! I Thank The Lord for Understanding, For Wisdom is given unto those who seek what they Lack! I Thank The Lord for Knowledge, For people of this world grow in their ways of the World, How much more will a Child of God grow with Spiritual bread!

It is Written, “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To God’s holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers and sisters in Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father. We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people– the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world–just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit. For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.” 1 Colossians 1:1-12

Prayer: Father, I Pray that your Children will gain great insight to who you are through Christ Jesus by requesting knowledge and Spiritual Wisdom. For we are called to put the wisdom of this age to Shame through the foolishness of the Gospel! Even Angels can not understand how we who were made lower have been given so much Authority. I Pray that each one of us seeks to understand what you have called us to be in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 549 Romans 5:1-10

Posted on August 26, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Fasting, For we are called to starve the Flesh to Feed the Spirit! I Thank The Lord for Prayer, For we who live by Faith know what ever is asked for in Jesus Name Shall Manifest! I Thank The Lord for Trust, For our God did not give us a spirit of shame!

It is Written, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” Romans 5:1-10

Prayer: Father, I Feel Lead by The Spirit to Pray for all those who are dealing with the spirit of shame. I Rebuke that spirit in the Name of Jesus! I pray for all my Brothers and Sister in Christ who feel they are not forgiven in Jesus Name! It is written, ‘Perfect Love Shall Cast out all fear!” as Christ is Our Hope and hope does not put us to shame! In Jesus Name, We shall live no longer with Shame!

Day 548 Hebrew 2:10-18

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

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Spirit, For we are called to tame the flesh and live in obedience by Faith! I Thank The Lord for Correction, For The Father only Disciplines those who are his Children! I Thank The Lord for The Calling, For there is a great battle before those who stand and say, “Here I Am!” For what Heaven has started, hell cannot stop it!

It is Written, “In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.” Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death–that is, the devil– and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Hebrew 2:10-18

Prayer: Father, Just like many before us, I know your Spirit still speaks to your Children. I Pray Lord that everyone who hears your voice today cries out, “Here I Am!” Let us not pass the opportunity to hear your voice and to serve your Will in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 547 1 John 1:5-2:2

Posted on August 21, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Christ, For through Him light has come into the World! I Thank The Lord for Repentance, For we who sin can be purified through Confession! I Thank The Lord for Righteousness, For we have an advocate in Jesus that will intercede to the Father on our behalf!

It is Written, “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 1:5-2:2

Prayer: Father, We have an advocate in Jesus that sets us free from our sins. I Pray that we confess the darkness of our sins in Jesus Name to cling to your Light. For we all have fallen short and daily seek your forgiveness!

Day 546 Romans 15:5-13

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

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Endurance, For you have given us the power to overcome through all trials! I Thank The Lord For Hope, For Jews and Gentiles alike rejoice at the Name of Jesus! I Thank The Lord for The Holy Spirit, For we have power in the Hope that has been Sent from Heaven!

It is Written, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.” Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.” And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Roman 15:5-13

Prayer: Father, I pray that each and everyone of your Child encounter the Holy Spirit. I Pray that those who have Faith and Believe are baptized with fire from heaven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 545 Romans 5:1-10

Posted on August 19, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Faith, For your conscience may come against you, but your Love for Christ through repentance will over come all doubts! I Thank The Lord for His Word, For you have given us the tools to combat the lies of Satan just as Christ did through the temptation! I Thank The Lord for Resilience, For God knows our daily battles, He has given Grace so that we may Faithful put our Love in Him!

Prayer: Father, I pray that you renew our minds to remember Grace and continue in Hope in Christ Jesus. For we know not the full power of your Love and I pray for all God’s Children that we stand firm in our faith in Christ Jesus forever, Amen!

Day 544 Proverbs 3:1-10

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

Thanksgivings: I Thank The Lord for Truth, For daily we are called to rebuke the lies of Satan, for the mind is a battle field and only The Word of God shall prevail! I Thank The Lord for Grace, For we are called not to lean to our own understanding, but Every Word spoken by God! I Thank The Lord for Victory, For even when we lose a battle, We take courage in knowing the War has been Won!

It is Written, “My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.” Proverbs 3:1-10

Prayer: Father, you are great in all your ways and I Pray that your Children never put faith in flesh that their knowledge is greater than your Spirit! I pray that we as your servants always put our Understanding in you and not what we have learned form this world. Make us fools Father and through our foolishness shall it confound the wisdom of this Age!

Day 543 Romans 6:1-10

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

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Resurrection, For we have been given power over the grave! I Thank The Lord for a New Day, For The Father has forgiven us of the Past and called us to fix our eyes to heaven! I Thank The Lord for Trust, For we in our heart of hearts must believe that we are called to greater than what the world has shown us!

It is Written, “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin– because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.” Romans 6:1-10

Prayer: Father, I Pray for a New Day for your Children. I Pray that we realize the depth of Sins deception and turn our faces to Heaven. I Pray in Jesus Name that we let not old wine consume new wine skins! For you have made us new through Christ Jesus and I pray we remember these thing through out our day.

Day 542 Exodus 4:10-12

Posted on August 5, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Restoration, For where we lack in the Flesh, He Makes Whole through His Spirit! I Thank The Lord for Flesh, For God knows we are weak, but we are Made strong through Him in all Things! I Thank The Lord for Callings, For many have Chosen careers as their destiny, But we The Few have Chosen Christ!

It is Written, “Then Moses told the LORD, “Please, LORD, I’m not eloquent, I never was in the pasts nor am I now since you spoke to your servant. In fact, I talk too slow and I have a speech impediment. Then God asked him, “Who gives a person a mouth? Who makes him unable to speak, or deaf, or able to see, or blind, or lame? Is it not I, the LORD? Now, go! I myself will help you with your speech and I’ll teach you what you are to say.” Exodus 4:10-12

Prayer: Father, I Thank you for all my shortcomings. I Thank you and pray for all my Brothers and Sisters who are not perfect, but by your Will, still are called to serve. For men strive to seek what they think is your perfect Will, but forget that is by Grace all Men are Blessed. I Pray that we as your Servants understand that you see our weakness, but By Faith you are Callings us to great things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 541 James 1:19-27

Posted on August 4, 2015 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Righteousness, For those who are quick to anger or judge are slow to remember The Lord! I Thank The Lord for Humility, For it leads us from the evil ways of this World! I Thank The Lord for The ways of Christ, For when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we should see Christ in all that we do!

It is Written, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it–not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it–they will be blessed in what they do. Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:19-27

Prayer: Father, I know the struggles that this world brings and pray for all my Brothers and Sisters who seek daily to never forgot to stand firm for Righteousness in Jesus Name, Amen!
