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!

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!

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 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 365 days, For He has given us time so we can appreciate Eternity! I Thank the Lord for Hard Fought Victories, For we shall always remember what He has brought us From! I Thank the Lord for Grit, For we who endure shall never stop preaching what we know!

It is Written, “When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? But now as for what is inside you–be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces. “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.” One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.” Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.” Luke 11:37-46

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you always remind us of what you have delivered us from and what we are truy called to be in this world in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Brothers and Sisters, For they are not only by Blood, But also By Spirit! I Thank the Lord for The Holy Spirit, For No strong man shall enter my House and Bind what the Lord has Destined! I Thank the Lord for Courage, For in the face of opposition from our own, we strive to push forward the Gospel!

It is Written, “Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.” So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house. Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.” Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:20-35

Prayer: I Pray Father that we Strengthen our Love with those who are our Brothers and Sisters in the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Trust, For He has given His Secrets to those created below Angels! I Thank the Lord for Goodwill, For we are called to be Christ to those who offend our Faith! I Thank the Lord for Gratitude, For we shall remember the Lord every time we take sacrament!

It is Written, “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life–not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you–guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” 2 Timothy 1:6-14

Prayer: Dear Father, I Pray that you bring to mind the Fire that is stored deeply in all your Children in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Enemies, For we have been given a chance to Love beyond or comfort! I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For we are not Blessed with knowledge to be overbearing! I Thank the Lord for Weakness, For in our humility we show the Strengthen of an Everlasting God!

It is Written, “”You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:43-48

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we reach those who are the most Furthest away from us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Season, For The Lord is moving His people into the Hour of His Spirit! I Thank you Lord for Confidence, For He has sent His Word and Spirit to Build our Character! I Thank the Lord for Aspiration, For God has made us to rise above our Earthly Means!

It is Written, “One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way. Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?” And they had nothing to say. When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” Luke 14:1-14

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Build and strengthen your Children to prepare them to receive the Feast that is prepared Before them in Jesus Name, Amen!
