Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Leadership, For The Holy Spirit shall Choose our Leaders! I Thank The Lord for Prayer, For in this we call upon the Lord for Guidance! I Thank the Lord for Fasting, For our flesh is corruptible, so we must starve ourselves to grow close to God’s Spirit!

 

It is Written, “In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.” Acts 6:1-7

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Church leans to the Holy Spirit to place Leaders where they are called in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Change, For we are given a new chance daily to become something better than Human. I Thank the Lord for Fruition, For God gives us plans that shall manifest into Life! I Thank the Lord for Declaration, For with this Vow we offer our Word to the Lord!

 

It is Written, “Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons. In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.” 1 Timothy 3:1-12

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you strengthen your Children who are Called as Leader in your Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Bravery, For we are called to stand when all else is falling! I Thank the Lord for Divine Dreams, For the Father has Angel’s who work in mysterious ways! I Thank the Lord for Fortitude, For through every struggle we and strengthened!

 

It is Written, “After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.” 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.” Matthew 2:19-23

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Send your Children dreams that will move them closer to their destinies in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Love, Even when we fail, God is able to reinstate! I Thank the Lord for Life, For not all Men shall taste Death! I Thank the Lord for His Renewing power, For everyman was Lost before He was Destined!

 

It is Written, “When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:15-25

 

Prayer: Dear Abba Father, I Pray that those who have denied you in the past be questioned three times on their Love for you and given the chance to show they Love you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Truth, For Lies can not stand before the eyes of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Honesty, Even when it hurts, we are called to be Righteous! I Thank the Lord for Valor, For we are all called in the Service of the King!

 

It is Written, “You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” Titus 2:1-8

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with the Spirit of Self-control so that we May be living representatives of the Gospel in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Sobriety, For We are called to be Sober of Mind to preach the Word of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Purity, For our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Assignments, For those who seek to present themselves to the Lord shall be used in His Master Plan!

 

It is Written, “Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.” 2 Timothy 2:14-21

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children seek to Ready ourselves to Be used for your Great Work in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 213 Hebrews 12:18-29

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Humbleness, For in our Pride we forget who gives and takes away! I Thank the Lord for Prayer, For our greatest gift is one often overlooked! I Thank the Lord for Drive, For we are given little, but from a mustard seed comes great things!

It is Written, “You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken–that is, created things–so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:18-29

Prayer: I Pray Father that you instill a greater prayer life in your children so that they may tap into the Spiritual Natural force that is available to them in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Patient, in the Hour of need, we shall wait on Him! I Thank the Lord for diligence, for only the strong shall break through! I Thank the Lord for persistence, for every building start out as a brick!

 

It is Written, “Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.” Galatians 3:15-22

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with the understanding of the Everlasting Covenant and the Spiritual inheritance we have From Abraham in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Time, For only the Father knows what is needed in every second of our lives! I Thank the Lord for secrets, for within them he reveals His perfect will! I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, for without it, knowledge will lead men to death!

 

It is Written, “After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him. But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near, Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” For even his own brothers did not believe in him. Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee. However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.” John 7:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you give your children insight and revelation as to their divine appointments in these days and time in Jesus Name!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Truth, for it is greater than the Law! I Thank the Lord for Sabbath, For it is a day of remembrance of your Great Name!I Thank the Lord for Faith, for even the crippled are called to stand by the voice of your Name!

 

It is written, “Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie–the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.” John 5:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Children Look beyond the Law and see the Perfect picture of Jesus in this Hour!
