Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Endurance, For you have given us the power to overcome through all trials! I Thank The Lord For Hope, For Jews and Gentiles alike rejoice at the Name of Jesus! I Thank The Lord for The Holy Spirit, For we have power in the Hope that has been Sent from Heaven!

It is Written, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.” Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.” And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Roman 15:5-13

Prayer: Father, I pray that each and everyone of your Child encounter the Holy Spirit. I Pray that those who have Faith and Believe are baptized with fire from heaven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Shortcomings, For in my Weakness I have made Him my strength! I Thank The Lord for Reliance, For I have grown to understand that we must never lean to our own understanding! I Thank The Lord for Grace, For by His Word, we are not called to be Perfect!

It is Written, “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh– though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:1-14

Prayer: Father, I Pray a special prayer that we as your Children forget the shortcomings of the Past and Chose today to press fully into Jesus. I Pray that we let go our pride and shame to embrace your Grace and Forgiveness 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 Remembrance, For God has healed us of many afflictions, For we are called to give reverence everyday! I Thank the Lord for Commands, For He has given us Authority over All things in Jesus Name! I Thank the Lord for The Holy Spirit, For we have a Helper that fights on our Behalf!

It is written, “As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God. ” Luke 18:35-43

Understanding: This man had been blind, maybe from birth or just days, but one thing he knew, he was a sinner. As soon as he heard that Jesus is Coming, He called out to Jesus as the Messiah saying, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” By this he was acknowledging who Jesus is. But that was not enough, Jesus knew what the man wanted, but questioned him, “ What do you want me to do for you?” he replied, “ Lord, I want to see.” Having repented before the Lord and asking for Mercy and Boldly asking for the thing he wanted to be healed of, Jesus Said that the mans Faith had healed him and he was healed. No matter how much we cry out to the Lord, we must first seek repentance, followed by God’s Mercy and only when we have great faith so shall we receive Healing. There is order in The heavens that has authority over all things on earth. Remember The Word of the Lord, for it shall heal you of All things in Jesus Name!

Prayer: Father, I pray and intercede on the Behalf of All men, rather they be righteous or wicked, may they turn from their prideful or evil ways to Praise you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Prospective. For we do not know what may come before us, but thanks be to the Lord who gives us insight as why things shall come upon us!

It is Written, “When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. But when they opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.”Acts 18:5-11

Prayer: Father, I pray Today that you help your Children seek understanding in all situations and lead us to seek the Lost in this World in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Commission, For He has destined for His Glory. For we may not understand all things of the Lord, but we put our trust in what he is calling us to. For we all have different parts to play in the body of Christ and I thank the Father for each one and your purpose!

It is Written, “”About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ ” ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. ” ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. ” ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked. ” ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me. “A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. He stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I was able to see him. “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.” Acts 22:6-16

Prayer: Father, I pray that you meet your children in the way they have been called. For many who were tax collectors and prostitutes will make it into the kingdom ahead of us, I pray for every soul to encounter you in their own special way!

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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for the end of the Month, for the trials and tribulations are now beyond us! I Thank the Lord for New Beginnings, For We keep our Hope in Faith in the Blessings of Tomorrow! I Thank The Lord for renewal, for we are all given a time to rest!

It is Written, “For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?” 1 Corinthians 3:4

“For when one says, “ I Follow Paul,” and another, “ I follow Apollos….” It has always made me wonder about the Word of the Lord which is preached. I find the more I study God’s Word, I amazed how we have strayed from it teachings. I find many preachers who lead their flocks are sort of super stars. Many find pride in the fact that are known to attend a certain church or follow a certain preacher, when in reality the Leader is called to be humble servant of all. “Are you not mere humans beings?” Do not get caught up in titles and stature. I tell you, any one who is called to serve in Christ Kingdom does so by the Grace of God, for we are fools to exalt the Flesh when God is One is Spirit. For he gives many gifts to some and others a Few, but it is done by the same Spirit. Let us not marvel at these things, but see them for what they are and unity in Brotherly harmony to remember that it is Jesus who we truly seek to be like.

Prayer: I Pray Father that you impress upon your Children how much is given to each man and for them to stop looking upon each other as if they lack what is freely offered in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Obedience, For Christ endured death upon the Cross to fulfill the Scriptures. I Thank the Lord that it is through death that we achieve the Calling given unto us. I Thank the Father daily for being the example of true Obedience over sacrifice.

It is Written, “Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.” John 19:28-37

Prayer: Father, I Thank you for sending your Son for being the greatest example of Obedience to your people. I Pray as we are called to die to the Flesh, that all your children the importance to die to this World, so we may live for eternity in the next! I Pray these things in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Suffering, For the Lord knows every trial that comes between us. I Thank the Lord through our pain and suffering that we count all these things to Christ whose name was are called to uplift!

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: Father, I Pray that you continue to Bless and strengthen your Children through all suffering in Jesus Name, Amen!
