Day 534 Colossians 2:16-23

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Freedom, For Christ came to release Humanity from the Bonds of this World! I Thank The Lord for Humility, For it shall never exalt itself! I Thank The Lord for Life in The Spirit, For it shall always be greater than that of the flesh!

It is Written, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.” Colossians 2:16-23

Prayer: Father, I pray for all those who seek to scorn the flesh to increase their Spirit life. As it is written, we are to increase in Spirit to train the flesh. The only way to fight temptation is not by harsh treatment of the body, but to be obedient to the calling of the Spirit. I Pray that we seek what The Spirit is calling us to in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Spiritual Blessings, Through Christ Jesus we have been blessed with All Authority from the Heavenly Realms! I Thank The Lord for Predestination, For we have given sonship to God through Jesus Christ! I Thank The Lord for Wisdom and Understanding, For they are the key to unlocking the mysteries of God’s Kingdom!

It is Written, “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will– to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment–to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Ephesians 1:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray for all those who thirst and seek to gain insight into your Word. Let those who seek Wisdom and Understanding come to the Knowledge of your Deep Revelations in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Patience, For we know the Day of the Lord shall be upon us like a thief in the night! I Thank The Lord for Perseverance, For we continue with the Faith though we are mocked by the World! I Thank The Lord for His Word, For this world shall pass away and we the faithful shall be rewarded!

It is Written, “Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.” 2 Peter 3:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray that we as your Sons and Daughters of the Most High God continue on the good fight of Salvation through these changing times! For we who were the many are now becoming the few. For what men kept in darkness is now be heralded as the new light. I pray that we kept Christ alive as we are condemned for honoring your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 530 James 1:12-18

Thanksgiving: Thanks be to The Lord for Trails, For we are not tested by The Lord, but desires that come against us! Thanks be to The Lord for Perseverance, For those who keep from temptation shall build character before God! Thanks be to The Lord for Grace, For it Shall remind us that our true Strength is in God!

It is Written, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.” James 1:12-18

Prayer: Father, I pray for all who endure temptations through this life, for it shall pass and those who remain strong in the Lord shall reap a great Harvest in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Trust, For even our minds are against us, But our Faith is firmly in Christ Jesus! I Thank The Lord for Destiny, For those who were once Tax collectors and Prostitutes will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven before you! I Thank The Lord for True Equality, For God does not have Favorites!

It is Written, “Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’ “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg– I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’ “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ” ‘Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,’ he replied. “The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’ “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ” ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he replied. “He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’ “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 16:1-14

Prayer: Father, I Pray that we use your wisdom to win those in the world and the wealth of the world to bring more to Christ! Let us understand that even though we are in the World, that we are not of this World and carry on the True Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Restoration, For Only He has the power to bring back what has been stolen! I Thank the Lord for Persistence, For even an unjust Man will hear your petition, How much more will God! I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For we miss always remember that under God’s court we have been forgiven and called to forgive those of lesser offenses!

It is Written, “”Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5

Prayer: Father, As it is the flesh that makes a man Judge, I pray that the Spirit moves us to Repent. For we have all been forgiven a debt by your Grace through Jesus Christ and called to Forgive and we all have been Forgiven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank you Lord for Rest, For we all are called to take time away to be restored. I Thank you that you have blessed your son and healed your children who seek comfort in you!

It is Written, “He said to them, “This is what the LORD commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.” Exodus 16:23

Prayer: Father, I Thank you have given us the Sabbath to Rest and give remembrance of your Blessings in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Godly Fear, For there is a peace that surpasses understanding and that is Godly Fear. For in the Face of Danger, we shall come to the point where the peace of the Lord is gained knowing that through Obedience of His Word shall bring us Salvation!

It is Written, “ Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.” Philippians 1:12-19

Prayer: Father, I know your ways are not the ways of the world! I Pray that we find understanding in all things of the Gospel. Even those who seek to preach with selfish ambition, we are called to rejoiced that it is you that is preached! I pray for wisdom in these things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank you Lord for Directing my Path, For you go before me so that I may be Covered! I Thank the Lord for Protection, For He has given us Angels to shield us from Evil! I Thank the Lord for Peace, Even in the mist of the Storm, you are our Rest!

It is Written, “After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city.” Acts 1:3-12

Prayer: Father, I Pray a Simple Prayer, that we as your Children keep our eyes on your Purpose and forgo the things of this World in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Love, For even when we go back, He still awaits our return! I Thank the Lord for Salvation, For the Power of Life is in His Blood! I Thank the Lord for Forgiveness, For the Power of the Cross Shall Redeem us all!

It is Written, “Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” John 21:12-19

Prayer: Father, I Pray for those of your Shepard’s who have went astray, I know your Love is drawing them back to their Destiny in Jesus Name, Amen!
