Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Courage, For in the Face of great odds, Faith shall Prevail! I Thank the Lord for Self Confidence, For we are all called to follow in the Image of our Creator! I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For our intellect alone can not lead us to the truth of the Lord!

It is Written, “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.” James 3:1-12

Prayer: I pray Father that you Anoint our tongues to speak life over death and Blessings over curses in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Breath, For he Breathed into Us Life and every breath is a sign of remembrance! I Thank the Lord for His Spirit, For He loved those who were near and far off! I Thank the Lord for Reconciliation, For what Adam divided, Christ Came to Make Whole!

It is Written, “Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)– remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” Ephesians 2:11-22

Prayer: I Pray To you Jehovah Jirah, unite your people by your Word and let none who are called be left behind in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Destiny, even through misery and pain, God has a Plan! I Thank the Lord for Authority, For we inherited the Spirit of God through Jesus’ Sacrifice! I Thank the Lord for Divine Love, For the Strength of Forgiveness is greater Than Sin!

It is Written, “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true. “You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish–the very works that I am doing–testify that the Father has sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. “I do not accept glory from human beings, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?” John 5:31-47

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Children come to the understanding that you are the fulfillment of Life everlasting beyond this existent in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 206 Romans 6:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Provision, For when we have nothing, He is our everything! I Thank the Lord for Assurance, For Our Hope is forever in Jesus! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For even our Hearts desires are corrupted in the eyes of the Lord!

 

It is Written, “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin– because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.” Romans 6:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you increase your Love and Grace over your Children through these times of Trail in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Joy, Though sorrow may last through the night, Joy comes in the Morning! I Thank the Lord for Worship, Daily we shall arise and praise His Holy Name! I Thank the Lord for Righteous Living, For He has called to honor our temple as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit!

 

It is written, “Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 1:13-21

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you instill Holy Living upon your children and we mature out of our old ways into our new ways in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Song, For in the Morning He shall put His Words upon our Lips! I Thank the Lord for Help, for in our time of need, we shall look to the Maker of Heaven and Earth! I Thank the Lord for Covenant, For He shall be with His Children Forever and Evermore beyond Eternity!

 

It is Written, “A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains– where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip– he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you– the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm– he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:1-8

 

Prayer: I Pray Father, that through every situation that your Children go through, may we focus our knees to the ground and our eyes towards Heaven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Foresight, for His shall Warn those who have the hear to Listen! I Thank the Lord for Divine Favor, for in time your time of need, He has made a way! I Thank the Lord for Friendship, Truly Blessed is a man who has many who would laid down their Life for Him!

 

It is Written, “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, n which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with Many of those who are not just called Brothers and Sisters, but who are truly Friends in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Patient, in the Hour of need, we shall wait on Him! I Thank the Lord for diligence, for only the strong shall break through! I Thank the Lord for persistence, for every building start out as a brick!

 

It is Written, “Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.” Galatians 3:15-22

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with the understanding of the Everlasting Covenant and the Spiritual inheritance we have From Abraham in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 199 Romans 7:1-6

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Law, For it shall lead us only until Death! I Thank the Lord for the Spirit, For we are all redeem to Him from the Law! I Thank the Lord for Marriage, for we were bound by flesh, but freed by the Holy Spirit!

 

It is Written, “Do you not know, brothers and sisters–for I am speaking to those who know the law–that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man. So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.” Romans 7:1-6

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to free your Children from the Law of Death, into the Realm of the Spirit which brings forth Life in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Trust, For without faith, we serve a dead God! I Thank the Lord for Idols, For the Image of Perfection is just an illusion. I Thank the Lord for assignments, For He uses all things to shape our Destiny!

 

It is Written, “The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. Then I said: “LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. “Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’ “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.” I was cupbearer to the king.” Nehemiah 1:1-11

 

Prayer:I Pray Lord that you strengthen your servants to bring forth a Heart of Repentance for this generation in Jesus Name!
