Day 484 Luke 15:1-7

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Change, For we have been given life to serve He who has given all! I Thank you Lord that we are not bound to who we used to be in this world, but have the opportunity to change. I Thank you Father that in all your doing, you would leave the 99, to find the one lost sheep!

It is Written, “Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.” Luke 15:1-7

Prayer: Father, Who my heart is always for your Children, but by your standard, may our purpose in this life be seeking those Sheep who are lost! For we do this all in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 483 Luke 24:36-49

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Promise, For we all know Jesus died for our sins, but he was not to leave us alone! For the Promise of the other he would send was fulfilled and continues to be fulfilled in this day and time! I thank the Lord he has given us the Holy Spirit through the laying on of Hands!

It is Written, “While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” Luke 24:36-49

Prayer: Father, I pray that your Children to go deeper in your presence and seek out the Baptism that came through the death of Christ! We Pray these things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 482 1 John 3:11-20

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Death, For in it, we truly find life! I Thank the Lord for our passing of this world into the next! For we should not morn the death of Flesh, but be Thankful for Eternal life that awaits us. For we are called to die to this world, so we may enter into everlasting life!

It is Written, “For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” 1 John 3:11-20

Prayer: Father, I Pray Lord that you continue to encourage us through all schemes of Satan, even when our own hearts try to condemn our actions, let your Love be greater in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 481 Mark 5:24-34

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Frailty, For God has called to unite himself to we who are but flesh and bone! I Thank the Father that His Spirit has the Power to Heal our weakness flesh! For it is by Faith that all things are possible!

It is Written, “So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Mark 5:24-34

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to show your Children that even though we were made lower than Angels, we have direct access to your healing power in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 480 Hebrews 11:1-13

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Faith, For it is by faith that we believe all things came into existence through Christ Jesus. I Thank the Lord that we using the same Faith can create what is from what is not! For this knowledge shall always baffle the wisdom of this world!

It is Written, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.” Hebrew 11:1-13

Prayer: Father, I Pray that we are your People seek to use the power of Faith to move the Lost to see the beauty of Christ which leads to the understanding of salvation in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 479 Hebrews 10:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the One True Sacrifice in Jesus, For all other offerings fail to be received by the Father! I Thank the Lord that our High Priest and intercessory sits at the right hand of God and has given us the opportunity to make it into the Kingdom of Heaven!

It is Written, “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming–not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, ‘Here I am–it is written about me in the scroll– I have come to do your will, my God.’ ” First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”–though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray you build up those who you have called, so when times comes, we can confidently say, “ Here I am Lord!” for I pray these things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 478 John 21:15-25

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Sincerely Love, For you have redeemed all Mankind from the Fire and have not ask for anything in return. For we have all fallen short Lord, but your Love is what keeps us going towards your Will!

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: Father, I Pray that you continue to show your Children the Truth of Love even when we fall short of Glory in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 477 Romans 15:1-13

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the heart of a Servant, for god shows us that we should lower ourselves in humility to serve and rejoice in what Christ has modeled. I Thank you Lord that your ways are not the ways of this world!

It is Written, “We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.” Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.” And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:1-13

Prayer: Father, I Continually Pray Jews and Gentiles alike who continue to praise your servitude in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 476 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Word of Mouth, For we are called to go to every nation and preach the Word! I Thank the Lord that daily I can reach people around the Word by the blessing of technology!

It is Written, “But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

Prayer: I Thank you Father for the end of this New Year and Pray for Encouragement for my Brothers and Sisters for the New year in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 475 1 Corinthians 1:4-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Thanksgiving, For we are truly Blessed with the Gift of praise to offer up to heaven! I Thank the Lord that we through service can offer our appreciate of Salvation through Christ Jesus!

It is Written, “I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way–with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge– God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:4-9

Prayer: Father, I pray through this tough times that we always remember what you sacrificed and offer up Thanksgiving and prayer in all occasions in Jesus Name, Amen!
