Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Separation, for He calls us to be set apart for Him! I Thank the Lord for Love, in it, we see the Hand of God! I Thank the Lord for Desire, in its purity, it will drive us closer to God!

 

It is Written, “Sometime later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie–the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.” But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ” So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?” The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.” John 5:1-13

 

Prayer: I Pray that the Lord Make way for those who seek to come to him in Pure Prayer and Worship in Jesus Name!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for His Spirit, For every man shall proclaim the Love of the Lord in His Heavenly Language! I Thank The Lord for Super Natural experiences, For God is not dead, He is surely Alive! I Thank the Lord for His Faithful People, For they shall bring about the signs and wonders of God!

 

It is Written, “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs–we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Acts 2:1-11

 

Prayer: I Pray that the Lord increase in our lives, so that we may decrease before the Lord!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Life, for His has blessed us to do His Will! I Thank the Lord for persistence, for those who seek, shall find you! I Thank the Lord for Abundance, for all things in Life are found in Him!

 

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. What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.” Romans 7:1-12

 

Prayer: I Pray that we are Children of the Most High God put to death our old ways, so New Life may come forth from the Lord!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for an attentive ear, for our prayers do not fall upon the floor! I Thank the Lord reverence, for with it we serve you wholeheartedly! I Thank the Lord for Israel, for His people carried the promise to the people of the World!

 

It is Written, “A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.” Psalms 130:1-8

 

Prayer: I pray in Jesus Name Father that all your Children Remember with Forgiveness comes no record of sin!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for times of testing, for our strength comes from the Lord. I Thank The Lord for suffering, In it we amplify The Spirit of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Faithfulness, for with it we are able to praise him day to day!

 

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: May Prayer is for the Less fortunate to be Blessed in this season of Joy!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for inner Beauty, for we forsake the things of the Natural and seek the Love and Live of the Super Natural! I Thank the Lord for Prayer, for all things are blessed by those who seek to do the Will of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for a submissive Spirit, for in our weakness, the Lord is our Strength!

 

It is Written, “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.” 1 Peter 3:1-9

 

Prayer: I Pray that all Men understand their Strength is found in their submission to the Will of the Lord!

” A Reminder!”

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth.  Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.”(1 Peter 1:12-13)

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth” A long time ago, while I was praying and reading the Word of the Lord, God started to speak to me. I had yet started to write these daily devotionals and at the time that he put it on my heart that I should. After awhile of God urging me to move forward, I simply told the Lord that why should I write devotionals when there are a million and one other people who are already writing them daily! Then that is when God said to me, “you aren’t the millionth and two and there is something inside of you that has never been inside of anyone else!” Taken back by this statement, it took me a long while to understand what God was talking about. No man is alike, even though you may have a twin or someone similar to you, you are still you. God has blessed us with life because we have a purpose. If God can make millions of different animals on the earth to serve a purpose, how much more do we as His children have a  greater destiny says the Word of the Lord.
.
“Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.” I believe this to be true, because sometimes through the struggle and trails, we simply forget the promises of God. As long as my lungs have breath and my spirit within this body, I will preach the Word of the Lord. God has blessed us with everything we need, so this should be a reminder of His Love to the Body of Christ.

“Holiness, it’s what I long for!”

“So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the special blessings that will come to you at the return of Jesus Christ. Obey God because you are His children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God-who chose you to be his children-is holy. For He Himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.”(1 Peter 1:13-16)

“So think clearly and exercise self-control.” Beloved, never under estimate the power of obedience, especially when you hear voice of the Lord. God is calling for a people who are going to be Faithful and Diligent in the His service. “Obey God because you are His children.” As it were, when I lived in the world, I sought after worldly things making me a child of the great deceiver, but when I found the truth of the Lord and conformed to His ways, I became a Child of God. “Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God-who chose you to be his children-is holy.”
.
I know for many people, living a righteous life is a struggle. To totally transform yourself to a new creation and cutting old ties that are pulling you back into a life of sin is not easy. But what is even worse is when the Lord has delivered you from a situation and you find yourself running back to it when times are tough. Just like you have built your life in the world, you have to build one in the Spirit. For when you were unsaved, you lived your life trying to satisfy the Flesh. But now God has entered into your Life, your life goals should be satisfying the things of the Spirit. “For He Himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.”
