Day 374 2 Peter 3:1-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Friendship, For He has Blessed us with Brothers and Sisters by Blood and most importantly, By the Spirit! Lord, Give us Love in our hearts to receive one another and help us grow to Love those who are far off and the one’s who are close!

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: Dear Father, I Pray you continue to be Patient for your Children in Jesus Name, For we are all growing from Milk to Meat to Serve your Mighty Purpose!

Day 373 2 Corinthians 12:1-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Honesty, For we are free to come boldly before the Lord. For we are not Slaves without a Voice, But Spirit who can speak Life! In Jesus Name, Be empowered to go to the Throne room of Grace and ask for all things in the Fathers Name, Amen!

It is Written, “I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know–God knows. And I know that this man–whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows– was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:1-9

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with Supernatural Situations through their day in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 372 1 Thessalonian 2:1-8

Thanksgiving: I Thank you Lord for a New day, you have awakened your people out of deep slumber and called us to prepare for your return! Blessed us oh Father, so that we may find the strength to become the very Word you have died for upon the Cross!

It is Written, “You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed–God is our witness. We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” 1 Thessalonian 2:1-8

Prayer: I Pray Father that we come to a time when we are fully in Service to the Most High God in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 371 Ephesians 6:10-20

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Laughter, For it is a gift in times of sorrow! I Thank the Lord for Holy Friendship, For it will see us through my tough times! I Thank the Lord for Intimacy, For there is a Love of the Spirit that no man can overcome!

It is Written, “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.” Ephesians 6:10-20

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless us with your Mighty Spirit so that we may continue to Armor Ourselves against evil in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 370 Matthew 13:53-58

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Spiritual Sight, For some will see a Carpenter’s Son, Other will See a Savior! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For we have been given much and ask for so little in return! I Thank the Lord for every assignment, For our calling on earth is given from God who is in Heaven!

It is Written, “When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.” Matthew 13:53-58

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we not only Listen to the Parables, But Hear every Word that is spoken in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 369 Galatinas 2:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Direction, For we put our Faith in the Lord as He Guides us to our Destination! I Thank the Lord for Opportunities, For we are placed in positions for His Purpose! I Thank the Lord for Encouragement, For we are all called to daily lift up all those who are low with the Word of the Father!

It is Written, “Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. As for those who were held in high esteem–whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism–they added nothing to my message. On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised. For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles. James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.” Galatians 2:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray that you continue to Bless and Fill your workers with the Holy Spirit so that we may look beyond our differences and Keep to the Commission you have given us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 368 John 12:1-11

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for His Loving ways, For He has given us the freedom to pursue a life after him! I Thank the Lord for great timing, For it is when we believe that all things fall into place! I Thank the Lord for Abundant Living, For we are truly blessed to be able to bless others!

It is Written, “Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.” Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.” John 12:1-11

Prayer: I Pray Father that we are your Children seek to know your heart in all things and not just go through the motions in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 367 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Strength, For the Lord has given us the power to carry on! I Thank the Lord for Rest, For His has set aside a season for every man! I Thank the Lord for Understanding, For we gain knowledge of His Holy Calling through deep meditation of His Word!

It is Written, “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Bless your Children to Continue to Endure through all Hardships in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 366 1 Corinthians 15:12-22

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for making me aware of my weakness, For all I have to boast in is Christ my Savior! I Thank the Lord for all my trials, For His Glory come from every victory! I Thank the Lord that He stands with me, For if He is for me, who can come against!

It is Written, “But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:12-22

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we continue to Preach Christ risen, so those who are far off Become near to you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 365 Act 16:16-31

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a Full Year of Devotions, For Only Jesus can Bless a man with the Spirit of Faithfulness! I Thank the Lord for what is to come, For today marks the changing of the Season! I Thank the Lord for Rebuilding, For every broken temple shall be redeemed!

It is Written, “Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.” The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household.” Act 16:16-31

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we as your Children start to walk in the Light of truth in understanding what we are capable of in Jesus Name, Amen!
