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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for family, for we have a destiny in Heaven! I Thank the Lord for seeing us through the Storm of a new day! I Thank the Lord for Courage, for we found heart in impossible situations!

 

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: I pray that the Lord Open the Flood Gates of Blessings upon His Children in Jesus Name!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Separation, for He calls us to be set apart for Him! I Thank the Lord for Love, in it, we see the Hand of God! I Thank the Lord for Desire, in its purity, it will drive us closer to God!

 

It is Written, “Sometime 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.” But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ” So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?” The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.” John 5:1-13

 

Prayer: I Pray that the Lord Make way for those who seek to come to him in Pure Prayer and Worship in Jesus Name!

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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Doubt, but captivity of the thought, I strengthen my Faith! I Thank the Lord for Brokenness, it Him we are Whole! I Thank the Lord for Head strong perseverance, through every trail, we are made stronger!

 

It is Written, “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray that the Spirit of Defeat be broken over the Body of Christ in Jesus Name, for we are all Champions in Christ!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for an attentive ear, for our prayers do not fall upon the floor! I Thank the Lord reverence, for with it we serve you wholeheartedly! I Thank the Lord for Israel, for His people carried the promise to the people of the World!

 

It is Written, “A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.” Psalms 130:1-8

 

Prayer: I pray in Jesus Name Father that all your Children Remember with Forgiveness comes no record of sin!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Purity, for He calls us to ascend the Hill with White Hands! I Thank the Lord for Authority, for it teaches us to keep from evil ways! I Thank the Lord for warnings, For those God Loves, He shall Chasten!

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.” Titus 3:1-10

Prayer: I Pray for all those who the Lord has saved from the fires of Hell examine their life’s according to the Word and Leadership of our Lord Jesus!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Power to take captive every thought, without it, we would all be slaves! I Thank The Lord for Righteous living, for we are not left in the death of sin! I Thank The Lord for the Grace of our Lord Jesus, for our works could never bridge the Gap with Heaven!

 

It is written, “I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.” Colossians 2:1-12

 

Prayer: I Pray that every man and woman eagerly seek the Mysteries of our Lord Jesus, in which are found the Keys to Life!

 

Day 54 Colossians 3:15-17

“Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace and always be thankful. Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.  And whatever you do or say let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.” (Colossians 3:15-17)

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” When I was doing my daily reading yesterday, I came across this verse. I had a long day at work and really was just tried from the day’s events. When I read, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,” I repeated this several times over. I noticed then that I accepted the Word into my heart and could physically feel myself stat to relax. I know some may not see the importance of this, but as we read in the next verse we can see why we are called to be at peace. “For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace.”  Then I started to realize and understand the principle and point of this verse. As one body of Christ, we are all tied into each other like an arm is connected to the hand.
.
Have you ever noticed when you have a pain in one area of your body, it affects the body as a whole. I remember many times when I sprained or broken a body part and how it changed and affected the rest of my body. God has Called us to be at peace, so as the Body, we shall have peace. It is always hard to understand the importance or role we play in the Kingdom of the Lord. We always want to believe our actions only affect ourselves and no one around us, but the reality is, just like a dominoes effect, your emotions bounce off of others.
.
Let us today be conscience of these things. If we are to be true examples of the Lord, then we must walk in his way. “Use his words to teach and counsel each other.” We are blessed richly with the Word of the Lord. As this is the case for many, let’s make it a point to counsel and teach others with what we have learned ourselves. Let the peace and Joy reign in your heart. For the Joy of the Lord could never be replace by anything we can find in this world. Peace comes to those who seek the inner sanctuary of the Lord. Rest within him, for there is a place of sound mind that the Lord wants you to be. “Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankful hearts.”  Once you have experienced the Joy of the Lord, watch as your body sings the praises of the Father. Rejoice in the Lord! Be Renewed In Jesus Name and seek to Gods Peace. Blessed is the One who knows he is truly Blessed with the Peace of the Lord.

“Tradition of Men!”
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, Christ himself. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this. These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud. But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.” (Colossians 2:16-19)
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.” We live in a time of spirit and in truth. It is in Gods Word states that we should not condemn anyone who holds certain days or holidays as holy. “For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, Christ himself. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this.”
 “These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud.”  We must understand that we are all the body of Christ. We each have a part of the body that we operate in. I knew of many who have been mislead by teaching that were false. Many filled with pride because they Worshiped the Lord on a certain day or named their Church a certain name which gave them authority and power. Through all these things, people must understand it is just a shadow of who Christ truly is. “But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.” Do not feel condemned by man, but renewed by the Spirit o the Lord. Never let the Truths of man way against, because it is the Lord that ultimately will judge your heart.
