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 Expression, For He has given us the Ability to Share our Love For Him to the World! I Thank The Lord for Dedication, For we are called to Worship our Father Day and Night! I Thank the Lord for Hard Teaching, For what we learn in this World will add to our Knowledge as Judges in Eternity!

It is Written, “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.” John 6:53-59

Prayer: I Pay Lord that you Continue to Bless your Children with Understanding so that we may Further know the depth of your Word 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!

Day 353 Titus 3:1-15

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Relief, For God’s know the pressure His people are under at all time! I Thank the Lord for Family, For we have been intrusted to Love one another! I Thank the Lord for Love, For His Greatest Gift to humanity was Himself!

It is Written, “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned. As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.” Titus 3:1-15

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Blessing your Children to be Discerning in all things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Overcoming, For God has given us the Spirit to see pass every Mountain! I Thank the Lord for Forgiveness, For we were not made to hold hate in our hearts! I Thank the Lord for Divine Timing, For we must believe He has plans for us that we can not see!

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.” Hebrews 11:1-10

Prayers: I pray Lord that you Strengthen our Faith to believe what is not yet as if it was in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Caring people, For we live in a world that is self-seeking in all its way! I Thank the Lord for Purity, For we are called to cleanse ourselves of things that shall not last! I Thank the Lord for Higher Purpose, For we are not condemned to live a life that ends in Death!

It is Written, “While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.” Mark 5:35-43

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Continue to Teach us faith that is unwavering in the Face of death, I pray these things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Divine Covering, For we are protected daily from Forces seen and unseen! I Thank the Lord Preservation, Through all out trails, We continue to prevail and fight Through! I Thank the Lord for Diligence, For we may see mountains before us, but even mountains must move in His Name!

It is Written, “ But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as first fruits 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 13-17

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Bless your Children with Heart to stand firm and press forward in Faith in Jesus Name, Amen!
