Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord For The Spirit of Understanding, For He reveals the purpose of our trials. I Thank the Lord for Knowledge, For we truly know the difference between right and wrong. I Thank the Lord for Obedience, For it will always be greater than any Sacrifice that we may bring!

It is Written, “The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.” Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.) The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?” “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.” Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the LORD, “Please, LORD, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, LORD, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.” Jonah 1:1-15

Prayer: Father, My Heart and Prayer is for those who are running. I Pray those who you have called into your Service, come home as you are waiting for their return. I Pray that you Make them realize that the Path they take will lead only to destruction until they turn back to you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Restoration, For Only He has the power to bring back what has been stolen! I Thank the Lord for Persistence, For even an unjust Man will hear your petition, How much more will God! I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For we miss always remember that under God’s court we have been forgiven and called to forgive those of lesser offenses!

It is Written, “”Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5

Prayer: Father, As it is the flesh that makes a man Judge, I pray that the Spirit moves us to Repent. For we have all been forgiven a debt by your Grace through Jesus Christ and called to Forgive and we all have been Forgiven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Devotion, For he has Given us a Spirit of Worship, for we are called to praise Him though all trials! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For we can not earn what we do not deserve! I Thank the Lord for Destiny, though He was just a Sheep Herder, even David was bound to take Hid Place as King!

It is Written, “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 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. On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

John 6:49-60

Prayer: Father, though your teachings are deep and meaning beyond Human understanding, I Thank you that you have given Ears for those to Hear and Eyes to those who can see. My prayers are for the Blind and Deaf to receive what has been freely given in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Morning, For the new day reminds us of His Glory! I Thank the Lord for The New Man, For we are Called to put the things of the Past behind us! I Thank the Lord for Determination, For God is Calling for us to fight to bring forth who He has Called us to be!

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.” Romans 5:1-5

Prayer: Father, I Pray that as we continue to Seek to Bring Character that will lead to never ending Hope in Jesus, that we for go the things of this World and hold onto what you have given through The Holy Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Favor, Even though Job lost it all, He was Blessed with Many’s Folds for His Faith! I Thank the Lord for Faith, For we may not see what Obedience Brings, We have trust it shall bring back Blessings! I Thank the Lord for Endurance, For this Life has many trials that we are called to fight through.

It is Written, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Prayer: Father, I Pray that as we run this Race, that you gives us Direction on how to truly train and prepare for the Destiny you have called us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Father for His Blood, For we are not cleansed by daily sacrifices, For Jesus Dead to make way for past future and present! I Thank the Lord for redeeming us from the fire and preparing us to be Brides!

It is Written, “Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars–they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.” Revelation 21:1-10

Prayer: Father, For we know not what is to come, but all things that have been foreshadow through your Word Shall prepare us. I Pray that we continue to seek the depth of knowledge in your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Prospective. For we do not know what may come before us, but thanks be to the Lord who gives us insight as why things shall come upon us!

It is Written, “When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. But when they opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.”Acts 18:5-11

Prayer: Father, I pray Today that you help your Children seek understanding in all situations and lead us to seek the Lost in this World in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Commission, For He has destined for His Glory. For we may not understand all things of the Lord, but we put our trust in what he is calling us to. For we all have different parts to play in the body of Christ and I thank the Father for each one and your purpose!

It is Written, “”About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ ” ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. ” ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. ” ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked. ” ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me. “A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. He stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I was able to see him. “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.” Acts 22:6-16

Prayer: Father, I pray that you meet your children in the way they have been called. For many who were tax collectors and prostitutes will make it into the kingdom ahead of us, I pray for every soul to encounter you in their own special way!

It is Written, “He said to them, “This is what the LORD commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.” Exodus 16:23

Prayer: Father, I Thank you have given us the Sabbath to Rest and give remembrance of your Blessings in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Godly Fear, For there is a peace that surpasses understanding and that is Godly Fear. For in the Face of Danger, we shall come to the point where the peace of the Lord is gained knowing that through Obedience of His Word shall bring us Salvation!

It is Written, “ Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.” Philippians 1:12-19

Prayer: Father, I know your ways are not the ways of the world! I Pray that we find understanding in all things of the Gospel. Even those who seek to preach with selfish ambition, we are called to rejoiced that it is you that is preached! I pray for wisdom in these things in Jesus Name, Amen!
