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 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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Forgiveness, For we have been Forgiven Much and called to Forgive the little offenses that we will take in this short life time. For our Savior died so we may enter into eternity with him and all our debts are forgiven!

It is written, “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one– I in them and you in me–so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” John 17:15-26

Prayer: I Pray For Father that we as your Children pick up the Cross that was Laid down by our Savior Daily in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Than the Lord for Persistence, For the Lord came down from Heaven to save those who were made lower than Angels and Calls them His Bride! We have been made perfect and all new by Him who has made all things in the heavens and on Earth!

It is Written, “While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: ” ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ‘ David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight. As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything–all she had to live on.” Mark 12:35-44

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Enlightened our Hearts so that we may not look to be important in the eyes of the World, but Spirit Filled to the eyes of the Lost in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Divine Revelation, For we only know and see what the Father has given us access to in Jesus Name! For there is more that is to come to those who seek to go deeper within the Lord!

It is Written, “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did–and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test Christ, as some of them did–and were killed by snakes. do not grumble, as some of them did–and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.” 1 Corinthians 10:1-11

Prayer: Father, I Pray and ask that your Continue to remind us of what you have saved us from and where you are calling us to in Jesus Name, Amen!
