Day 83 1 Corinthians 10:1-11

Posted on November 15, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Day, for we are renewed with His Strength! I Thank the Lord for those who have came before us, for the Lay the Foundations of Faithfulness! I Thank the Lord that the Lost shall be saved, for His Blood has made this covenant for all men!

It is written, “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did–and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test Christ, as some of them did–and were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did–and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. 1 Corinthians 10:1-11

Prayer: I Pray that everything Jesus has shown us prepares us for the Age to come Father.

Day 77 Hebrews 10:1-10

Posted on November 9, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for the Blood of Jesus that Purifies me of all my Sins! I Thank the Lord my God that He has given me a Spirit of Victory and Not Defeat! I Thank the Lord My God that His ways are greater than the ways of Men!

It is written, “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming–not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, ‘Here I am–it is written about me in the scroll– I have come to do your will, my God.’ ” First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”–though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:1-10

Prayer: I pray that the Power of the Blood of Jesus but Received by every man, women and Child who call upon the Name of Our Lord Jesus!

Day 74 Hebrews 3:1-9

Posted on November 6, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Favor, blesses is the Man that Loves the Lord! I Thank The Lord for Faithfulness, for The Faithful shall see the Blessings of The Father! I Thank the Lord for unforeseen Circumstances, For His Glory shall come as a sweet surprise!

It is written, “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.” Hebrews 3:1-9

Prayer: Father, you are most real than life itself! I pray in Jesus Name that the minds of Men are moved from the natural to the super natural!

Day 67 Psalms 104:1-9

Posted on October 30, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Pain, for in our brokenness we found His Love. I Thank the Lord for emptiness, only there can we know what it is to want. I Thank the Lord for His Blood, for without it, I would not have 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 that Mankind stop looking at what is seen as real and realize that true life does not last in the moment, but the Eternity that is before us!

Day 66 Psalms 95:1-10

Posted on October 29, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord that he loves me through all my ups and downs. I Thank the Lord that His love for me is greater than the sins I have committed. I Thank the Lord for Grace, because without it, we would be condemned by all men!

It is Written, “Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice, “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested me; they tried me, though they had seen what I did. For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘they are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways.’ Psalms 95:1-10

Prayer: I pray Lord that you put praise and Joy into our hearts, for all our knowledge, we still do not know your way!

Day 64 Psalms 13:5-6

Posted on October 25, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for a New Day to sing praises unto Him! I thank The Lord that He hears our cries and prayers and blesses us. I am Thankful for the Love that comes from knowing Christ Jesus!

It is Written,“But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he has been so good to me.” (Psalms 13:5-6)

“But I trust in your unfailing love.” God’s unfailing love, what does this mean to us? Well, think about it this way, the Lord set a standard which is His Word and promise given unto us. We all know the Word that was sent, because it our daily bread and for the promise, it is the Holy Spirit who Jesus said will be with us forever! God so loved us he not only gave us scripture to live by, but a counselor whenever we need help on any situation. So when someone in the bible says they put their trust into the Lord, it means 100 percent Faithfulness. Now how many of us have had this track record with our emotions towards God? I know many times when I come under distress or trails, I used to feel like my faith was weakening or God wasn’t hearing my prayers. Even when I was lost in the world, I used to feel that I had sinned to the point where God come never use me. But it is by God’s Grace that this wasn’t the truth. Have you ever wondering why people don’t pray for the Spirit of Happiness? Because it is the Spirit of Joy that will keep us always!

“I will rejoice because you have rescued me I will sing to the Lord because he has been so good to me.” I truly rejoice in the Lord for saving me. I praise him because when I felt beat up, lost and defeated, he renewed me and lifted me up. For if True Love is the essence of the Lord; then Love can never be about emotions. Emotions can change like seconds in the day, But God has remain the same even before the beginning of time. This is why Jesus calls us above all things to Love. This is why when Paul said even over hope and his own Faith he would chose Love. We must understand that it is not about the feeling; it is about the security of the Word of the Lord that we should seek for daily. If you believe in the Lord because of your feelings, then where would that leave you? Joy one day and then you are lost another. We are called to believe and Love the Lord through every up and down, because that is what he has done for us. When you start understanding that Love is not an emotion, but a firm commitment, you will truly know the Heart of your Father who is in Heaven.

Prayer: I Pray in Jesus Name that everyone who reads this today is blessed with the Love and Compassion of the Lord!

Day 63 Acts 9:26-28

Posted on October 24, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Breath, for without His Mercy and Love that is renewed daily, all men would be lost. I Thank the Lord for trails, for they strengthen us for His Glory and Destiny!

It is written, “When Saul arrived in Jerusalem , he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They thought he was only pretending to be a believer! Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus . Barnabas also told them what the Lord had said to Saul and how he boldly preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus . Then the apostles accepted Saul, and after that he was constantly with them in Jerusalem , preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.”(Acts 9:26-28)

“When Saul arrived in Jerusalem , he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him.” Many people do not understand the story of Paul. When God came and commissioned Paul to do his Will, he went out and started to preach the Word boldly. Well, the problem with this is that the established church authority was in Jerusalem . So, why were these groups of believers so afraid of Paul? Because of the signs and wonders he was working in and the boldness of his speech. He was so anointed with the Word, that they felt people could not really be a Brother in Faith. “They thought he was only pretending to be a believer! Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus . Barnabas also told them what the Lord had said to Saul and how he boldly preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus .”

“Then the apostles accepted Saul, and after that he was constantly with them in Jerusalem , preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.” It is truly amazing to see that it wasn’t until Paul was constantly with the believers did they accept him. I have might many many many anointed men and women of God who have been rejected by the church. It is daily that I receive email messages from people who have such an anointing from the Lord, but when the go to their pastor of the Church they are rejected or turn away. Just like in the Word, it is fear that is in operation. Paul was ordained by Jesus himself to go out and preached the Word and you would think that he would have been well received, but this is not the case. I know many people have received a special ministry from the Lord. Many times we look for approval from others to confirm this, but understand that even Paul had suffer through doubt and fear from his own people. But what did Paul do? He persevered through it all to so that the Lord was with him. If God has blessed you, show it to the world. Even through all fear and misunderstanding, work hard to accomplish what the Lord has commissioned you to do. Even if the church rejects you, it is the Lord who judges you.

Prayer: I Pray that every man understand that God’s Grace is Sufficient through every needs and every trail in Jesus Name!

Day 62 Genesis 11:4-9

Posted on October 23, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

Thanksgiving: I give thanks to The Lord for guiding and directing my path. I have been given much and seek to show my Love for His Grace and Mercy. I seek to praise the Most High God and bring Glory to His Name!

It is written, “Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel–because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4-9

“Then they said, “Come let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens…” In the early part of human history, men spoke one language. By this time, they were corrupted with sin and sought to build monuments to themselves as an expression of their greatness. “The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” Now, we must understand how deep this statement that was from The Lord. When men come in one accord with the same language, there is power. Scripture reveals that through Christ we can do all things, but we must remember how this is accomplished.

The Lord came down and confused the language of men. Once all men had the same language, cursed with confusion, speak many different languages. Many of us communicate within our different languages, but we must understand, the root of all spoken languages is just Babel. For men speak with silver tongues, but their language is just gibberish. I know many may not understand these things, but when Jesus died and made way for the Holy Spirit, once again were we able to speak the Language that we lost at Babel. “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? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?” Acts 2:4-8

Even though they were speaking in tongues, those of all different backgrounds heard their own language. How can this be? We must understand that we cannot be moved by anything that isn’t God inspired. There are many who will try and move you away from the Truth that the Spirit of the Lord brings. It is important you receive what the Lord has for you, only by the Baptism of Jesus shall you discovery the Promise that is available to all men.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I pray and intercede for all who want to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name!

Day 60 Hebrews 3:12-14

Posted on October 21, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

It is written,“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.” (Hebrews 3:12-14)

“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.” I remember speaking to a gentleman who told me that he had lost his Faith. He felt that the sin’s he had committed in the past were too great for God to forgive him of. In buying into this belief, he stop serving the Lord altogether and lived a life believing that he could never serve the Lord. “Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters make sure your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving….” By understand this passage; we can see how someone can buy into the lie of not being unforgiving by the Lord. I know many who have prayed for the forgiveness of the Lord, but their Heart condition is so filled with unbelief that they did not change their sinful ways.

We must understand that unforgiveness doesn’t come from the Lord, but from our own heart condition. If our hearts were filled with Faith and Joy, we would live a life a victory, but evil things hold us back from the blessings of the Lord. “Choose you today who you will serve.” Who are you going to live for today? We have a choice of standing on what God has professed in our life or living a life of sin. In the case of this gentleman, he was living a life in a backslid state for so long, that his disobedience became a life style. People live a life of sin for so long, they start believing that is who they are, but rejoice, because Jesus came to set us free of these things!

“You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.” As we read, we must encourage each other everyday, so that none of us will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. Just like the gentlemen who I talked to, he was so deceived by his sin, he was hardened against God. He believed that God could not forgive him and cleanse him of his past, because he was not encouraged of the Promise of the Lord today. “You must encourage each other every day, as long as it is called “today.” We are all called to encourage each other everyday. If we truly love each other like the Father in Heaven, then we are called to Love and encourage each other as long a sit is called “today.” I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of one day that I wake up that wasn’t called today! This isn’t a misprint; God was making a point with his Word. Everyday is called today and we are called to encourage one another so that known of us are hardened by sin. Act of the Word of the Lord, Believe in the saving power of his Word and let today be the day where you go out and encourage others in the saving power of the Lord!

Day 58 John 14:17-18

Posted on October 19, 2013 by J.C. Jeffrey

“He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans-I will come to you.”(John 14:17-18 NLT)

“He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.” Jesus promised to send he who would lead us into some truth, partial truth or ALL Truth? When Jesus spoke with the woman at the well, He spoke of a time when people would not worship in a certain location, but that true worshipers would come and worship in Spirit and in Truth from all over the earth. We must understand that the promise of the Holy Spirit is not only the fulfillment of God’s word, but it is also access to knowledge of things not seen or heard. “The world at large cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.” Man, if you knew the Joy that springs up in me when I read this passage! The world at “large” cannot receive him and you may ask why? Some believe that water is just enough, others will be lead to believe in the Father, the Son, but will never receive the Holy Spirit. They will accept the Father and son and deny the Spirit of the Lord. But I get excited; because the Word of the Lord tells us that “He lives with you and later will be in you.” Beloved, we must take this understanding and apply it to our lives. The Holy Spirit lives today and later will be in those who will receive him. We must understand that the Lord sent the Holy Spirit to not only live with us, but to reside inside us.

“No, I will not abandon you as orphans-I will come to you.” We who have grown in truth can see that our natural man has not brought us closer to destiny. The other promise is the promise of the Spirit; which I thank the Lord for sending to me and having received him, now lives inside of me. The Promise that the Lord would not leave us as orphans is still ours today. He said he would come to us, but it is we that have to receive him. It is not that the world at large cannot receive the Holy Spirit; it is because they do not believe. Take hold of the promises of God, go forth and Baptize in the Baptism that brings forth Truth in Jesus Name!
