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 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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Family, For we are united by Blood and Spirit! I Thank the Lord for surprise Blessings, For God has so much more than we can ever see! I Thank the Lord for Dedication, For we will not let failure stop us from our Destiny!

It is Written, “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs–we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” Acts 2:1-12

Prayer: Father, I Pray you continue to bring forth the revelation of your true gift that was given after the death of your Son in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank you Lord for this Day of Preparation, For you are Calling our Hearts to Receive what was freely given! I Thank you Lord for your Devotion, For you know what was coming and did not relent! I Thank you Lord for Humbleness, For God in Flesh lowered himself even more to Wash the Apostles Feet!

It was Written, “It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.”You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13:1-17

Prayer: Father, as we prepare to give remembrance to your great Feast, I pray Lord that your children daily recount the Love you have shown to wash them clean in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 504 1 Corinthians 3:4

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for the end of the Month, for the trials and tribulations are now beyond us! I Thank the Lord for New Beginnings, For We keep our Hope in Faith in the Blessings of Tomorrow! I Thank The Lord for renewal, for we are all given a time to rest!

It is Written, “For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?” 1 Corinthians 3:4

“For when one says, “ I Follow Paul,” and another, “ I follow Apollos….” It has always made me wonder about the Word of the Lord which is preached. I find the more I study God’s Word, I amazed how we have strayed from it teachings. I find many preachers who lead their flocks are sort of super stars. Many find pride in the fact that are known to attend a certain church or follow a certain preacher, when in reality the Leader is called to be humble servant of all. “Are you not mere humans beings?” Do not get caught up in titles and stature. I tell you, any one who is called to serve in Christ Kingdom does so by the Grace of God, for we are fools to exalt the Flesh when God is One is Spirit. For he gives many gifts to some and others a Few, but it is done by the same Spirit. Let us not marvel at these things, but see them for what they are and unity in Brotherly harmony to remember that it is Jesus who we truly seek to be like.

Prayer: I Pray Father that you impress upon your Children how much is given to each man and for them to stop looking upon each other as if they lack what is freely offered in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 503 Romans 7:18

Thanksgiving: I thank the Lord for Today, for His mercy shall endure forever! I Thank the Lord for Encouragement, for Daily he reassurance me with His Word! I Thank the Lord for Blessings, For His favor rest upon His Children!

It is Written, “ For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” Romans 7:18

“ For I know that good itself goes not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature…” I have found that men idolize other men. I never could understand this and I am not talking about in the world. In many Christian circles, there are the “Super Apostles” as Paul would refer to them. Even then, you will find preachers of the Word with this title! What is a title? For we are all servants. Even Paul, who wrote most of the new testament, struggled to do what is write. For it is written that Paul asked the Lord to remove the thorn from His side, but God said my Grace is sufficient. All Men struggle, for this is the nature or Flesh verse Spirit. Though you may want to do right, your soulish nature will always fight against you. “For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out…” We are bound by Grace and Truth, if you are to live a life in Christ foot steps, you will found yourself constantly humbled, for the Lord despises the Proud. This is Why Jesus is our mediator, who he knew that the only way to be cleansed of our Sins, we for Him to redeem us through His Perfect Work. Take Heart, do not forsake righteous work that the Lord has assigned you, for even in our failings, He is Callings us to continue on!

Prayer: Father, I know the weakness of the flesh tries to lead your Children astray, but I Pray for each and everyone of your people who seek to Spread your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 502 Galatians 1:10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Rest, for we shall only find it in Him! I Thank the Lord for Grace, for his mercy is endless! I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, for knowledge leads to death without it!

It is Written, “For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

“For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to Please men…?” For I find that as a body we have grown to compromise the teaching we have been handy down to please the world. With laws coming in direct conflict of our beliefs, we have moved from the norm to the minority. I see many who try and lobby for a change, revert back the Christian stances that this country was built upon, but to do this would only prolong the inevitable. As it is written, the end days will see the rise in wickedness. For it is fruitless to try and change what is written. For we all know the Lord of these things is Satan and all things lead up to the persecution of God’s people. As wickedness rise’s, we should focus on making strong our Faith. “For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ!” For we know you can not serve God and Money, you are either a slave to one or the other. Stand firm in faith, for when the time comes and the persecution begins, remember always the power in the Name of Jesus!

Prayer: Father, I know the world see your children as Fools, but it is the Fools that it is written that will confound the wise! I Pray you strengthen your children with the foolishness of the Gospel, so that they may bring honor to your Name!
