Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Holy Worship, For we have given all to the One who has gave everything! I Thank the Lord for Mercies, For Daily His Love is renewed for those who seek Forgiveness! I Thank the Lord for Companionship, For in our Darkest hour or Greatest Bliss, The Lord our God Shall be with us!

 

It is Written, “Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Romans 14:1-9

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Strengthen your Children to not judge one another, but seek to encourage them in their walk of Faith in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Transparency, For we are called to live our life without filters! I Thank the Lord for Reliability, For as your children are called to be standards within the Church! I Thank the Lord for an Open Heart, When the Light of Christ comes upon a man, it shall open all locked doors!

 

It is Written, “When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray. When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? “We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker. “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Galatians 2:11-21

 

Prayers: I Pray Father that you Strengthen your Children to be Transparent to the world as we bring forth your Word with Fire and Power in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 279 2 Timothy 4:1-8

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Family, For we are tied together beyond flesh and blood! I Thank the Lord for Destiny, For the Lord has spoken great things to be before we were even born! I Thank the Lord for Strength, in the Sight of obstacles, the Lord has Bless us to over come!

 

It is Written, “In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage–with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day–and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:1-8

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you bless your children with the vision of what is to come and not depend on what is in front of them in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Suffering, For it shall Bring from Character! I Thank the Lord for Fruitfulness, For it is the product of Our Faith! I Thank the Lord for Time, For it bears a testimony that shall last for an Eternity!

 

It is Written, “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.” 1 Peter 4:12-19

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you place in the Hearts of your people Remembrance of the great blessing that are received when we Suffer for your Name Sake in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 276 Romans 9:6-16

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Health, For we have been given this body as a temple to the Most High God! I Thank the Lord for Healing, For we have all been called to be restored in His Name! I Thank the Lord for Fire, For with Power and Authority comes Fire from Heaven!

 

It is Written, “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring. For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.” Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad–in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls–she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.” Romans 9:6-16

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children direct our path to receive the Fire that shall bring forth Signs and Wonders in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 275 Philipians 3:15-21

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Instruction, For there are ways to a man that seem right, but lead to utter death! I Thank the Lord for Hope, For what we see in this world is not our finally destination! I thank the Lord for End Times, For what will come as Death, shall bring forth new Life!

 

Psalm: Given new life, Given new life! I shall lay down my body, to be Given New Life!

 

It is Written, “All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Philippians 3:15-21

 

Prayer: Father, I Pray and ask that you send Super Natural Power to your Children who seek to honor you with Fasting in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord For Renewal, For we can ask and receive what we have lost! I Thank the Lord for Understanding, For those who find it shall Find Wisdom! I Thank the Lord for Prayer in the Spirit, For those who walk in it shall always hear from the Father!

 

Psalm: I shall give My Heart. I shall Command My Soul. Forever in Service to my Lord, For He has Made Me Whole!

 

It is Written, “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.” The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” John 3:26-36

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that the Testimonies of your Children reflect the Spirit and Power of the One who was sent from Heaven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For we all have fallen short, but the Lord is Good Enough to Redeem His Children! I Thank the Lord for Faith, For in the Mist of trails and tribulation, we are called to believe what is not as if it is! I Thank the Lord for Destiny, For we have been given life to bring forth a testimony of God’s great Love!

 

It is Written, “Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome. The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ” Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” “He is worthy of death,” they answered. Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?” Matthew 26:57-68

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Come Father, Come and Lift us up so your Name Shall be Glorified through the World in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Singing, For even the Birds of the Air Declare His Beauty every Morning! I Thank the Lord for Love, For we are called to sleep was is not to be Awakened! I Thank the Lord for Beauty, For by it, we are drawn to our one true Love!

 

It is Written, “She: I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. He: Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. She: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Listen! My beloved! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” Song of Songs 2:1-13

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Draw your Children in by your Loving Hand as we wait for the Return of the Bridge-groom in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For those who lack shall receive what is freely given! I Thank the Lord for trails, For all God’s Children shall endure and there reward shall be the Crown of Life! I Thank the Lord of Perseverance, For even though we are weak, but God’s Hand we are Made Strong!

 

It is Written, “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation–since they will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.” James 1:1-11

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with Divine Wisdom that will confound the wise of this world in Jesus Name, Amen!
