Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for 365 days, For He has given us time so we can appreciate Eternity! I Thank the Lord for Hard Fought Victories, For we shall always remember what He has brought us From! I Thank the Lord for Grit, For we who endure shall never stop preaching what we know!

It is Written, “When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? But now as for what is inside you–be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces. “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.” One of the experts in the law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.” Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.” Luke 11:37-46

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you always remind us of what you have delivered us from and what we are truy called to be in this world in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Brothers and Sisters, For they are not only by Blood, But also By Spirit! I Thank the Lord for The Holy Spirit, For No strong man shall enter my House and Bind what the Lord has Destined! I Thank the Lord for Courage, For in the face of opposition from our own, we strive to push forward the Gospel!

It is Written, “Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.” So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house. Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.” Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” Mark 3:20-35

Prayer: I Pray Father that we Strengthen our Love with those who are our Brothers and Sisters in the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Trust, For He has given His Secrets to those created below Angels! I Thank the Lord for Goodwill, For we are called to be Christ to those who offend our Faith! I Thank the Lord for Gratitude, For we shall remember the Lord every time we take sacrament!

It is Written, “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life–not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you–guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” 2 Timothy 1:6-14

Prayer: Dear Father, I Pray that you bring to mind the Fire that is stored deeply in all your Children in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Expression, For He has given us the Ability to Share our Love For Him to the World! I Thank The Lord for Dedication, For we are called to Worship our Father Day and Night! I Thank the Lord for Hard Teaching, For what we learn in this World will add to our Knowledge as Judges in Eternity!

It is Written, “Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.” John 6:53-59

Prayer: I Pay Lord that you Continue to Bless your Children with Understanding so that we may Further know the depth of your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Season, For The Lord is moving His people into the Hour of His Spirit! I Thank you Lord for Confidence, For He has sent His Word and Spirit to Build our Character! I Thank the Lord for Aspiration, For God has made us to rise above our Earthly Means!

It is Written, “One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way. Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?” And they had nothing to say. When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” Luke 14:1-14

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Build and strengthen your Children to prepare them to receive the Feast that is prepared Before them in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Relief, For God’s know the pressure His people are under at all time! I Thank the Lord for Family, For we have been intrusted to Love one another! I Thank the Lord for Love, For His Greatest Gift to humanity was Himself!

It is Written, “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned. As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.” Titus 3:1-15

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Blessing your Children to be Discerning in all things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Caring people, For we live in a world that is self-seeking in all its way! I Thank the Lord for Purity, For we are called to cleanse ourselves of things that shall not last! I Thank the Lord for Higher Purpose, For we are not condemned to live a life that ends in Death!

It is Written, “While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.” Mark 5:35-43

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Continue to Teach us faith that is unwavering in the Face of death, I pray these things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Divine Covering, For we are protected daily from Forces seen and unseen! I Thank the Lord Preservation, Through all out trails, We continue to prevail and fight Through! I Thank the Lord for Diligence, For we may see mountains before us, but even mountains must move in His Name!

It is Written, “ But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as first fruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” 2 Thessalonians 13-17

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Bless your Children with Heart to stand firm and press forward in Faith in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Obedience, For Jesus did all the things He saw His Father Do! I Thank the Lord for Hard Work, For we are reward in this world by the sweat upon our brow! I Thank the Lord for completion, For Joy comes from the Lord who is the author and finisher of all things!

It is Written, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined–and everyone undergoes discipline–then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.” Hebrew 12:1-9

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you continue to refine us by your strong loving Hand in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Completion, For we who prepare shall be Blessed with a finished Work! I Thank the Lord for Passion, For there is a fire a in our Bones that Burns for the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Desire, For the things in the unseen world that drive us to rid ourselves of things of this world!

It is Written, “”Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.” John 14:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Bring us to the Place where we are understanding of your deeper Truths in Jesus Name, Amen!
