Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Truth, For Lies can not stand before the eyes of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Honesty, Even when it hurts, we are called to be Righteous! I Thank the Lord for Valor, For we are all called in the Service of the King!

 

It is Written, “You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” Titus 2:1-8

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with the Spirit of Self-control so that we May be living representatives of the Gospel in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Endurance, For even when we are weak, He is Strong! I Thank the Lord for Agreement, For in His Love, we are called to Honor Him! I Thank the Lord for Marriage, for it is a foreshadowing of an eternity to come!

 

It is Written, “Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command. I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.” 1 Corinthians 7:1-9

 

Prayer: Lord, I Pray Today for the Spiritual Nature of Marriage, shall it be something we hold Holy before your eyes in Jesus Name!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Legacy, For the Promise was carry through the Jewish people to all nations! I Thank the Lord for Fulfillment, For The Lord promise came through flesh and spread by the Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Generations, For The Word of the Lord shall always carry on!

 

It is Written, “What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.” But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” Why not say–as some slanderously claim that we say–“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just! What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.” Romans 3:1-11

 

Prayer: I Pray Father the you strengthen our understanding of the Promise and The importance to remember Israel in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Heart, for we are all called to be brave in impossible situations! I Thank the Lord for Clarity, for discernment should be a mantle upon every man in this deceitful days! I Thank the Lord for Endurance, Everyday we are called to continue our strength in the Lord!

 

It is Written, “Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face. Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.” The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.” When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” John 19:1-11

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that take account of our Lives and seek sacrifice all to the Risen King, In Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 220 Philemon 1:8-16

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for His Spirit, For it can make a man who was once a slave into a fellow Brother in Christ! I Thank the Lord for Chains, For we are called to be bound to Christ and not the ways of this world! I Thank the Lord for Love, Instead of taking orders, we are moved by the appeal of Love!

 

It is Written, “Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul–an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus– that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. I am sending him–who is my very heart–back to you. I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary. Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever– no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.” Philemon 1:8-16

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you move your Children Hearts to see those who have been set free in Christ are Free indeed in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Sincerity, For Only His knows the true motives of the Heart! I Thank the Lord for Patience, For we were all lost at one time until the Lord turned us around! I Thank the Lord for Compassion, For any man at any time can lost everything in a Moment!

 

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.” 1 Philippians 1:12-19

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children understand the teaching that rather Good or Bad Intentions, the Message of The Cross must be taught to all in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For by it’s fruits it shall be shown known! I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For everyman shall forgive, for they have been forgiven! I Thank the Lord for Encouragement, For all have been through the valley low and seek to bring up those who are down!

 

It is Written, “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:13-17

 

Prayer: I Pray Dear Heavenly Father that you Bring forth Heavenly Wisdom to your Children in this hour so we may be blessing to the people around us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Training, Daily we arise to strengthen our knowledge of His Word! I Thank the Lord for Goals, For we are not content with just living in this World! I Thank the Lord for New Life, For daily we are given a chance to step into our New Man!

 

It is Written, “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia–your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead–Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children stop looking at things thrown in the sea of forgiveness and start looking at the opportunities given to us in the present in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Sobriety, For We are called to be Sober of Mind to preach the Word of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Purity, For our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Assignments, For those who seek to present themselves to the Lord shall be used in His Master Plan!

 

It is Written, “Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.” 2 Timothy 2:14-21

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children seek to Ready ourselves to Be used for your Great Work in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for weakness, for in it, we find our strength in the Lord! I Thank the Lord for imperfection, for in all things, His Grace is sufficient! I Thank the Lord for His Blood, For just like His Love, it cover a multitude of Sins!

It is Written, “Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:1-13

Prayer: I Pray Father that we not keep our minds set on today, but prepare for the coming of your kingdom daily in Jesus Name, Amen!
