Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Spiritual Sight, For some will see a Carpenter’s Son, Other will See a Savior! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For we have been given much and ask for so little in return! I Thank the Lord for every assignment, For our calling on earth is given from God who is in Heaven!

It is Written, “When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.” Matthew 13:53-58

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we not only Listen to the Parables, But Hear every Word that is spoken in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Strength, For the Lord has given us the power to carry on! I Thank the Lord for Rest, For His has set aside a season for every man! I Thank the Lord for Understanding, For we gain knowledge of His Holy Calling through deep meditation of His Word!

It is Written, “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Bless your Children to Continue to Endure through all Hardships in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for making me aware of my weakness, For all I have to boast in is Christ my Savior! I Thank the Lord for all my trials, For His Glory come from every victory! I Thank the Lord that He stands with me, For if He is for me, who can come against!

It is Written, “But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:12-22

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we continue to Preach Christ risen, so those who are far off Become near to you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a Full Year of Devotions, For Only Jesus can Bless a man with the Spirit of Faithfulness! I Thank the Lord for what is to come, For today marks the changing of the Season! I Thank the Lord for Rebuilding, For every broken temple shall be redeemed!

It is Written, “Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.” The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household.” Act 16:16-31

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we as your Children start to walk in the Light of truth in understanding what we are capable of 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!

Day 352 Hebrews 11:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Overcoming, For God has given us the Spirit to see pass every Mountain! I Thank the Lord for Forgiveness, For we were not made to hold hate in our hearts! I Thank the Lord for Divine Timing, For we must believe He has plans for us that we can not see!

It is Written, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” Hebrews 11:1-10

Prayers: I pray Lord that you Strengthen our Faith to believe what is not yet as if it was 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!

Day 346 Revelation 17:1-14

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For we can not lean to the Flesh Alone! I Thank the Lord for Revelation of His Word, For the Mysteries of the Bible shall only be revealed through His Spirit! I Thank the Lord for His Chosen, For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see will Make it into the everlasting Kingdom!

It is Written, “One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. The name written on her forehead was a mystery: babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come. “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings–and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” Revelation 17:1-14

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we Gain and seek a Deeper understanding and knowledge of the Hour that is to come in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Sacrifice, For we will be Bless in this Age and the Age to Come! I Thank the Lord for Humbleness, For we shall bow to our knees when we enter into your presence! I Thank the Lord for Righteousness, For we honor the Lord with Loyalty in our Decision!

It is Written, “As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good–except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'” “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields–along with persecutions–and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Mark 10:17-31

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we not seek Worldly things to Honor you, But the things of the Spirit which are everlasting in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For His Divine Nature has seen His Children through to another Day! I Thank the Lord for Fasting, For our Strength does not come from Bread Alone! I Thank the Lord for Prayer, For we have given ourselves to seeking the deeper understanding of this Life!

 

It is Written, “Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.” Psalms 104:1-9

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that everyone that feels like they have fallen away, Come Home, For you are where we are all called to be in Jesus Name, Amen!
