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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the end of the Month, For on this day we are called to remember all the blessing we have had! I Thank the Lord for Deep Sincerity, For we are not moved by shallow praises! I Thank the Lord For Divine Appointments, For we all are destined to go forth in the Lord’s Will!

It is Written, “On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.” Mark 14:12-16

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to set the path for your Children through these trying times in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Hearing my prayers, For on this day He did not let one Word fall to the ground! I Thank the Lord for Redemption, For we can always come back from where we have strayed! I Thank the Lord for communication, For He has blessed us with a voice that we can Honor His Name!

It is Written, “A psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!” The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.” Psalm 29:1-11

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless and Strengthen your people to write to you and Worship your Mighty and Majestic Glory in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord my God for another precious day with my friends and family! I Thank the Lord my God for Blessing me with vision and Character! I Thank the Lord my God for showing me that in all things we should give thanks in Jesus Name!

It is Written, “David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, “Praise be to you, LORD, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you. LORD, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you.” 1 Chronicles 19:10-18

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you continually Bless us with the Blessings of Abraham and let your Glory been known through out the earth in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Perception, For what the world see’s and what Christ see’s in us are not the same! I Thank the Lord for His Glory, For we as His children are called to go all things for the Gospel of God’s Word! I Thank the Lord for revelation, For there is a knowledge that can only come from the most high God!

It is Written, “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel–not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Prayer: I Pray Father that we understand that through all things, we understand that the Church is under the leadership on you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Morning, For He has commissioned the Birds of the air to Sing beautiful songs to wake us up! I Thank the Lord for Morning Dew, For the Fresh smell of flowers is always a remembrance of His Love for His Children! I Thank the Lord for Health, For we are only in these bodies for a short time, I thank Him for every moment given!

It is Written, “Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Matthew 23:1-12

Prayer: I Ask and Pray Today Lord that you bring forth a new mantle upon this generation! Let us study your Word as it is written and live by what was spoken from you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Expression, For He has given us the Ability to Share our Love For Him to the World! I Thank The Lord for Dedication, For we are called to Worship our Father Day and Night! I Thank the Lord for Hard Teaching, For what we learn in this World will add to our Knowledge as Judges in Eternity!

It is Written, “Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.” John 6:53-59

Prayer: I Pay Lord that you Continue to Bless your Children with Understanding so that we may Further know the depth of your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Relief, For God’s know the pressure His people are under at all time! I Thank the Lord for Family, For we have been intrusted to Love one another! I Thank the Lord for Love, For His Greatest Gift to humanity was Himself!

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. As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.” Titus 3:1-15

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Blessing your Children to be Discerning in all things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Overcoming, For God has given us the Spirit to see pass every Mountain! I Thank the Lord for Forgiveness, For we were not made to hold hate in our hearts! I Thank the Lord for Divine Timing, For we must believe He has plans for us that we can not see!

It is Written, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” Hebrews 11:1-10

Prayers: I pray Lord that you Strengthen our Faith to believe what is not yet as if it was in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Caring people, For we live in a world that is self-seeking in all its way! I Thank the Lord for Purity, For we are called to cleanse ourselves of things that shall not last! I Thank the Lord for Higher Purpose, For we are not condemned to live a life that ends in Death!

It is Written, “While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.” Mark 5:35-43

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Continue to Teach us faith that is unwavering in the Face of death, I pray these things in Jesus Name, Amen!
