Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Praise and Worship, For the key to the kingdom of Heaven is found in our utterance unto the Lord. We are called to make a joyful noise to the King of Kings in our sincere Love for the Father. As we pursue the things of God, He will continue to put Spiritual songs upon our hearts!

It is Written, “Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.” Psalms 150:1-6

Prayer: I Pray Father that you fill your Children with praise that is driven by the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Working all things for Good! For in times of hardship and turmoil it is hard to see how God is going to work things out! For we are sometimes trapped in the moment and not able to see pass our own situation! But it takes Wisdom to understand that the Lord has a greater plan than what we see with our human eyes!

It is Written, “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:18-28

Prayer: I Pray Father that we continue to build ourselves for your purpose Lord and may we count every suffering to the pursuit of Christ in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Discipline, For we are called to commit every part of our life to the Lord. For these days grow wick and we see the world’s droughts, sickness and disease’s that are killing off the multitudes! We cannot be conformed to the things of this world, For God has given us instruction not only to live life, but to live life more abundantly in Jesus Name!

It is Written, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” Roman 12:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we as your Children commit daily to Transforming our minds to your Will and Destiny for our lives in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the opportunity to be Imitators of His Word, For we all know that no man is good, but we are called to be that which is not a reflection of evil. It is in our humbleness and understanding that it is Grace that has saved us and it is by His Love that we have been brought for a price. Christ gave all and at every opportunity we should give in remembrance of Our Lord’s Great Sacrifice!

It is Written, “The elder, To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth. I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone–and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true. I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.” 3 John 1:1-14

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to Build your Children up to be Brave and stand for you in these evil and wicked times in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Acceptance, For it is not by the Color of skin or National identity that the Lord calls His Children, but by the Spirit of those who seek righteousness over the corruption of sin! For the Message of God is that not one to perish to the fire, but to be saved by His Blood and filled with His Spirit. Great is the Kingdom of Heaven, for all His Sheep shall be welcomed into the New Jerusalem!

It is Written, “Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached– how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen–by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.” Acts 10:34-48

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Speak to your Children and Remind them that none are unclean, but all have been washed with the Blood of the Lamb in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Restoration of Health, For we are blessed daily to be able to go about our day and function. It is only when this freedom is taken from us that we understand what we have taken for granted in our life!

It is Written, “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation– if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness– the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.” Colossians 1:19-29

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Continue to reveal the Mystery of your to your people in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Fire, For there is live that is far from flesh that is calling. We in this natural state have a burning in our bones that can not be quenched by the things of this world! I Thank the Lord for a desire that goes beyond all understanding and seek to go deeper with all things that have been given to me in Jesus Name!

It is Written, “After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. (This was before John was put in prison.) An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan–the one you testified about–look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’ The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:22-30

Prayer: I Pray Father that you guide and direct the path of your Children, bring us into the Destiny we have always called to be in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for being able to praise and worship his Holy Name! For our Father has given us a voice that is called to give Him Worship. Many idle words may department our mouths, but sacred and pure are the Words that Flow from the Spirit!

It is Written, “Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” 2 Corinthians 3:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we carry with us the Death of the Flesh, So that the Life of the Spirit shall be shown through us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank God for Another Glorious Day! For have spent most of our time focus on all kinds of things except the one thing that means the most. Strengthen me Lord that I keep my heart of you and that I let not the world take over who you have called me to be!

It is Written, “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh– though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” Philippians 3:1-12

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we do not count these perishable things in this World as true substances, when all will return to dust! It is only the Spirit and Truth that shall Survive into Eternity in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 381 1 John 2:12-17

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Love, For it is Love that calls a Man from His Family, to Consecrate himself for the Most High God! For it is Love that calls you away from all things and everyone to spend time with Him who has created you. Our hearts are not set on things of this world, but for the Eternity to come. Love will always thirst until He who brings living waters is within!

It is Written, “I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:12-17

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless us with the Spirit to depart from the things of this World so that we May Focus on bring more of the Spirit and Less of the Flesh in Jesus Name, Amen!
