Day 140 Esphesians 5:8-20

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for reconciliation, for what has been lost is being returned 10 fold in Jesus Name! I Thank the Lord for being lost, for Home will always be Found in Him! I Thank the Lord for the Power of His Name, for in it is the Power to do all things!

 

Psalm: I praise you oh Father, that in my search for Love you have given me trust. Men shall seek happiness in the desert of this life, but Lord you have called your children to the living waters of your love. Father, in the days I stood upon my pride, you came forth and showed me the path of humbleness. Everyone with pride will be great in their own hearts, but those who are truly humble will serve others and not themselves.

 

It is Written, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible–and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:8-20

 

Prayer: I Pray for 2014 to be the Year that God’s Children take hold of Their Destinies and move forward in strength in their Faith in Jesus Name!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Doubt, but captivity of the thought, I strengthen my Faith! I Thank the Lord for Brokenness, it Him we are Whole! I Thank the Lord for Head strong perseverance, through every trail, we are made stronger!

 

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 that the Spirit of Defeat be broken over the Body of Christ in Jesus Name, for we are all Champions in Christ!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for all the suffering He endure for us on the Cross! I Thank the Lord that we are no longer His Enemy! I Thank the Lord for knowledge that gives life to His People!

 

It is Written, “ Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them–yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray for an increase of Grace upon God’s Children Through these wick times in Jesus Name!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Vows, for His Covenant shall Last through eternity! I Thank the Lord for Fear, For Fear of the Lord leads to Wisdom! I Thank the Lord for His Messengers, for His True shall be heard through out time!

It is Written, “Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool. When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.” Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Prayer: I Pray That we as Children of God Honor the Lord with the Vows we have made!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for preservation, For He Has Guided me to a new Day! I Thank the Lord for the Present, for in every moment we have a chance to praise His Holy Name! I Thank the Lord for the promise of tomorrow, for life may not be guaranteed, but our Hope is within Jesus!

Psalm: Lord, your love has guided us through the trails of the day and I thank you Father, for your Love is greater than the stars and everlasting as eternity itself. In you Lord, I put all my Faith and Hope which comes from you. Yesterday has passed, today is always present and tomorrow is waiting for all your sons and daughters who seek your face in Jesus Name!

It is Written, “A psalm of praise. Of David. I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty– and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works– and I will proclaim your great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. All your works praise you, LORD; your faithful people extol you. They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.” Psalms 145:1-12

Prayer: I Pray in Jesus Name that the Holy Spirit Lead your children deeper in your Love Father!

Day 59 1 Corinthians 12:4-7

It is written,“Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.  A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.”(1 Corinthians 12:4-7)
.
 “Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all.” Taking a quote from Paul, “Now Brothers and sisters, concerning about spiritual gifting, I do not want you to be ignorant!” It is important for the body of Christ to understand what the purpose of Spiritual gifting. As you have read this posting, God has a special purpose for your life and when I say you, I mean you. When God created you, he put inside of you something special to give to the world and when Jesus died, he gave us the Holy Spirit to gain access to the power to achieve God’s plan for your life. This may come as a surprise to some and a reminder, but the promise of the Holy Spirit is the way to access the giftings that The Lord wants you to bring to this world. “There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving.” As there are different services to be done within the church and the body of Christ, so shall there be different people to do these things. It has been assumed before, that when many answer the calling of The Lord that they will become a preacher, but there are more areas within the church that need servicing. Some will feed the poor; others will evangelize to the youth and to other will help the elderly, but all will be done for the Glory of The Lord.
 
“There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.” The Lord uses us all in different ways. He has blessed me with my online minister and to another it might be passing on what they learn to a co-worker at work. You never know how God will use you, but never think that what you are doing is less than anyone else. It is just like a finger thinking it is less than the head, all in all, they both work together to make up the body. “A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.” We are all gifted to help the whole body of Christ. Today, I pray that those who know there calling in the Lord continue forth and those who yet do not know, Pray and ask the Lord to reveal to them their part in the kingdom. God has a plan for your life and once you figure this out, you will be operating in the Gifting God has for you.

” A Reminder!”

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth.  Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.”(1 Peter 1:12-13)

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth” A long time ago, while I was praying and reading the Word of the Lord, God started to speak to me. I had yet started to write these daily devotionals and at the time that he put it on my heart that I should. After awhile of God urging me to move forward, I simply told the Lord that why should I write devotionals when there are a million and one other people who are already writing them daily! Then that is when God said to me, “you aren’t the millionth and two and there is something inside of you that has never been inside of anyone else!” Taken back by this statement, it took me a long while to understand what God was talking about. No man is alike, even though you may have a twin or someone similar to you, you are still you. God has blessed us with life because we have a purpose. If God can make millions of different animals on the earth to serve a purpose, how much more do we as His children have a  greater destiny says the Word of the Lord.
.
“Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.” I believe this to be true, because sometimes through the struggle and trails, we simply forget the promises of God. As long as my lungs have breath and my spirit within this body, I will preach the Word of the Lord. God has blessed us with everything we need, so this should be a reminder of His Love to the Body of Christ.

“Tradition of Men!”
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, Christ himself. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this. These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud. But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.” (Colossians 2:16-19)
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.” We live in a time of spirit and in truth. It is in Gods Word states that we should not condemn anyone who holds certain days or holidays as holy. “For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, Christ himself. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this.”
 “These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud.”  We must understand that we are all the body of Christ. We each have a part of the body that we operate in. I knew of many who have been mislead by teaching that were false. Many filled with pride because they Worshiped the Lord on a certain day or named their Church a certain name which gave them authority and power. Through all these things, people must understand it is just a shadow of who Christ truly is. “But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.” Do not feel condemned by man, but renewed by the Spirit o the Lord. Never let the Truths of man way against, because it is the Lord that ultimately will judge your heart.

“Unity in the Body”

For it is written, “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free— we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” I have grown to understand one thing through my Christ walk; God has made way for many to enter the Kingdom of God. I, like many others, believed so strongly in my Faith and domination that I was caught up in the ritualistic tradition of men to understand the power of the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross. The Lord has shown me through the story of the woman at the well, that the Father seek those who will serve him with Spirit and Truth. For Jesus said, “ Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain or Jerusalem….yet a time will come and has come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth!”

We as the Body of Christ must see that the Lord is not divided in himself. “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one Body!” God has destine every man woman and child. If you are reading this Word today, I tell you now, Gods plan for you is not death, but Life! “Whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free- we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” It is written that God is not a respecter of person and do not let anyone deceive you of these things. It is written that when you draw near to the Lord, He will draw near to you. My prayer in Jesus Name is that you seek a deeper understanding of your part in the Body of Christ. Do not measure your calling against others, it will just belittle what the Lord has called you too. Be persistent, press into the Father, seek him daily. For no man who diligently runs after the Lord shall not find Him. You are not alone, seek The Father in Spirit and Truth and He will find you.
