Day 223 2 Peter 2:1-11

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Today, For Tomorrow is not promised to any man! I Thank the Lord for Change, For Prayer by Faith can alter an event in a blink of an eye! I Thank the Lord for Righteousness, For those who seek to live righteous in the Lord shall be spared The depths of Hell!

 

It is Written, “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them–bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)– if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.” 2 Peters 2:1-11

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to reveal knowledge of the awesome Power of your spirit and the wages of sin which leads to death in Jesus Name, Amen!

 

Day 144 Galatians 5:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Blessings, for daily I thank him for all things! I Thank the Lord for endurance, for you give us the strength to continue! I Thank the Lord for forgiveness, for we all have Hope in our hearts!

 

It is Written, “Paul, an apostle–sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead– and all the brothers and sisters with me, To the churches in Galatia: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel– which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 5:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that all things are coming to pass for your great Will for your children in Jesus Name!

Day 140 Esphesians 5:8-20

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for reconciliation, for what has been lost is being returned 10 fold in Jesus Name! I Thank the Lord for being lost, for Home will always be Found in Him! I Thank the Lord for the Power of His Name, for in it is the Power to do all things!

 

Psalm: I praise you oh Father, that in my search for Love you have given me trust. Men shall seek happiness in the desert of this life, but Lord you have called your children to the living waters of your love. Father, in the days I stood upon my pride, you came forth and showed me the path of humbleness. Everyone with pride will be great in their own hearts, but those who are truly humble will serve others and not themselves.

 

It is Written, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible–and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:8-20

 

Prayer: I Pray for 2014 to be the Year that God’s Children take hold of Their Destinies and move forward in strength in their Faith in Jesus Name!

 

 

Day 131 Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Vows, for His Covenant shall Last through eternity! I Thank the Lord for Fear, For Fear of the Lord leads to Wisdom! I Thank the Lord for His Messengers, for His True shall be heard through out time!

It is Written, “Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool. When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.” Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

Prayer: I Pray That we as Children of God Honor the Lord with the Vows we have made!

Day 73 Romans 8:5-11

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord My God that in my time of Need, I can call upon His Name! I Thank The Lord My God That His forgiveness is greater than my understanding of sin! I Thank The Lord My God that I have breath to Breathe and offer thanksgiving unto Him!

 

It is written, “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.  The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” Romans 8:5-11

 

Prayer: Father, we are imperfect in our current human condition, I pray for the return of the Son and for this night of darkness to end. Come Lord Jesus, Come!

Day 53 Hebrews 11:5-6

“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying-“suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”(Hebrews 11:5-6)
.
“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying-“suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” When I read this, I think Enoch was a Man of God who walked with more than a Mustard Seed of Faith! Can you image one Sunday your pastor getting up in front of the Congregation and preaching the Word of the Lord and then telling the Church that God was going to take him up to Heaven? Think about it, every Sunday service, after he delivers the Word, he tells his congregation that he will soon depart from you until that one Faithful Day the chariot of Fire comes among you and he is gone. I am not talking about Enoch now, but Elijah who was another Man of God who did not taste Death. But how is this possible? It was Faith in the Power of God that these men lived such righteous lives that they were taken up. “But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, “it is impossible to please God without Faith.” Never lose your Faith! Always remember your tongue has the power of Life and Death.
.
I have had many people contact me and tell me that they are losing their Faith, or lost their Faith. I have said before how news like this deeply saddens me even more than persons who has passed away. With Faith, all things are possible! But without Faith, you can not be pleasing in the sight of the Lord. You are not your flesh and the sins that may come forth. You must have Faith and believe that God has better plans for your life. Beloved, stop looking at the natural and the world around you to receive validation of God’s purpose in your life! I know it is hard, but if you live by the standards of the world, you will die by them. God purpose for you is ever present. I know many of you are struggle in your own Faith in what God is Calling you to do, but just don’t give up. I heard it said once by a Pastor that he rather have 10 percent of the full vision 10 percent of the full vision. There is a difference, because you are not limited in your Faith.
.
“Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Sincerely seek after the Lord! Never give up on Faith, because God isn’t ready to give up on you. Be encouraged everyday to strive after what God has for you. I know this life is hard and that is why we can not do it alone. Call upon his name through the storm and never stop believing. Though we may struggle, I never forget His Name and when the time comes, I know He will not forget mine!

Day 22 Revelations 13:10

“Beyond Death”
“If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.” (Revelations 13:10)
.
I see we have two ways we can enter death. One being by the ways of the natural world, as such they call it a natural death by sickness and disease or a super natural death; by sword or crucifixion. I know this may not be a daily thought to most Christians, but lets us not believe these two options do not exist. “This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.” Not everyone will experience this kind of Death, but praise the Lord to those who are chosen and carry this mantle. Many may question to why I speak of these things, not to inflict fear of Death, but to the greater reality of the Fear of God. We owe nothing to the world that was brought by the Blood of Christ and by these things we must live with an understanding of the price that was paid. Death is a day of redemption. For our mortal bodies are from earth and the day of our Death, the earth shall reclaim the dust that we were made of. But in the balance of that, we are left with our spirit.
.
Many will have a fear of death of flesh, but rarely take this stance on their eternal soul. For by the flesh we are here in a mere blink of an eye, for this is just preparation of what’s to come. So much knowledge and so little understanding of the things of God and we must not by ignorant of what has been told. There will come a day when things that men held as foolish will confound the wise, and then the wise who were all knowing will find their wisdom as foolishness. Let us take up the wisdom of Christ who openly offers to all and see beyond the Death of the flesh, to the eternity of the Spirit.

Day 4

“Asleep, Not Dead.”
.
So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, the one you love is very sick.” But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God. I, the Son of God, will receive glory from this.” Although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days and did not go to them. Finally after two days, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.” (John 11:3-7 NLT)
.

Lord, the ones you Love are very sick. I want to pray for everyone who has accepted our Lord Jesus Christ into their Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. For there was a time that we all needed to be healed and cried out to the Lord. Our Prayers are like Messages up to Heaven. Our Father listens to our cries and just like here in John, Jesus says that our sickness will not end in Death and God will Receive Glory from this.

,

I know that God answers Prayers. For years I had a friend who struggled with drinking, partying and drugs. He was apart of that scene for such a long time and really saw no way out. I kept assuring him that God was ready to show his Glory in his Life, but he needed to be ready to believe. When Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, did he go straight to Judea? No, He waited two days and then he went. Why wait two days, when he knew that Lazarus was sick and needed to be healed right then?

,

But don’t we all face this situation? My friend needed to be saved from his life style and there were many times when I was on my last dollar that I needed the Lord to come to me in the moment. It is a time like these that we feel that the Lord is not by our side, but we must understand that the Lord knows everything and his Will is made complete. As we read on, Jesus says, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up. (John 11:11)

.

Thank you Jesus! For I once was Blind Now I can see! I once was dead, but The Lord says I was Just asleep! Don’t you know that Lazarus was in the grave for four days!? And when Jesus came, he resurrected him and brought forth life! Beloved I don’t care what your situation looks like; Drugs, Alcohol, Sexual immorality and any addiction. I tell you the Truth; you are not dead to the Most High God! If Jesus can rise a man from Death, he came rise you out of your situation. It was for Gods Glory that Jesus Brought Lazarus back to Life and if you believe this Day, I tell you that if you seek to be an example of Gods Glory, he will rise you out of your situation today!

.

Just like Jesus waited until the Fourth Day to Rise Lazarus, He is looking for others who are viewed as dead to the World to rise up for Gods Glory! Let us not ever believe the Lost are dead, because they are the ones that Jesus is looking for. Have a renewing of Faith Today knowing that God is glorified when you are rised and resurrected from your old self. Rejoice, for the world is not dead in Jesus Name, But sleeping and the Lord is coming to Wake the World up!
