Day 72 Romans 5:1-8

 

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord My God that Childish Ways are not forever! I Thank the Lord My God that He Continually causes his children to grow in knowledge! I Thank the Lord My God, for every letter of His Word serves its own purpose!

 

It is written, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:1-8

 

Prayer:  I prayer that those who are called unrighteous come forth for Forgiveness and receive a double potion of your Grace in Jesus Name!

Day 71 Ruth 2:11-12

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord that he is my High tower! I Thank the Lord that he is my Fortress! I Thank my Father that in Him I find Refuge!

 

It is Written, “Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband–how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” Ruth 2:11-12

 

Prayer: Dear Father, we were all Foreigners to you, but we shall leave our Fathers and Mothers to be Joined to you, for this is the Legacy of your Son Jesus! I pray that no man stay in the house of their Father and Mother, but leave their old life behind to seek refuge in you!

Day 65 1 Corinthians 1:7-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord who strengthens me Day and Night! I Thank the Lord for Healing and Deliverance in His Mighty and Powerful Name! I Thank the Lord that in all things, He has shown us Love and Compassion!

It is Written, “Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.  He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:7-9

“Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.” I am moved by the Love of Christ. For with the Greatest Sacrifice to ever be offer to Humanity, Christ redeemed all mankind from the grave. This alone makes him great and worthy to be praised! If redemption was not enough, Jesus left another in his place, a counselor, so that we may not be alone. Through the Holy Spirit, we are baptized into the same Spirit that was within Jesus and through this Spirit, we are given gifts. As we wait for the Return of Our Lord, we are called to eagerly seek spiritual gifting’s as people refers in Corinthians.

He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” So who will keep us firm to the end and blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Holy Spirit; if there was any other way; Paul would have called us to just be Blameless unto the Day of Our Lord’s Return. How can we be blameless? As the Scriptures point to, it is through the gifts of the Spirit. I know many people wrestle with these things, but we must understand this, “God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” If God has called you, then he is Faithful to keep you. We must keep to the example set by the original apostles. They prayed and fasted until the baptism of the Spirit. God has called you today and in Jesus Name I pray you eagerly seek the Gifting’s that will carry you to the Day of our Lord’s return!

Prayer: I Pray in Jesus Name that the Lord Bless all with the Spirit of Understanding!

 

Day 61 Matthew 4:1-11

It is written, “Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil.  For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry.  Then the Devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God. ‘Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple , and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, He orders his angels to protect you. And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.’ “Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, `Do not test the Lord your God.’* “Next the Devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory. 9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “If you will only kneel down and worship me. “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, you must worship the Lord your God; serve only him. “Then the Devil went away, and angels came and cared for Jesus.” Matthew 4:1-11

 

“Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil.  For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry.” We must understand that the temptation of Christ did not happen until after receiving His Baptism. In Preparation of his attack against the enemy, he fasted for 40 days only to be nourished by the Word of the Lord. Even though Jesus was weakened in His Body, he was overwhelming strengthen in His Spirit! He exchanged natural food for the supernatural power of God’s Word. “Then the Devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread.” Now stop here, I don’t want you to miss what was just said. The devil asked Jesus if he was the son of God, he would command the stones. Now, the devil knew Jesus was the Son of God, but said if so he could see how Jesus would react. If you don’t know who you are in the Lord, it will not be validity but the enemy. The devil through every situation is trying to test your faith and what your destiny is in the Lord. I can’t tell you how many people fall under the lie of sin. They see what they have done in their life and because of their actions; they condemn themselves to living a life that isn’t who they are. We must see this lie and cut it off at the root!

 

“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.” Combat the devils lie with the Word of the Lord. Through every situation, Use God’s Word to validity what is going on. We all fall on hard times and even looking at this situation that Jesus was going through, we could have said, “ Oh well, I was hungry and didn’t eat for 40 days that is why I failed.” It is only by the Strength that comes from the hearing and doing the Word of The Lord that we are made stronger. Don’t ever give into the lies of the devil. If he tried to deny that Jesus was the Son of the Most High God, then how much will he comes against you and your destiny? God has a plan for your life that was set a long time ago, but how much longer will you let the lies of the enemy stop you from becoming what God has called you too?

 

Day 59 1 Corinthians 12:4-7

It is written,“Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.  A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.”(1 Corinthians 12:4-7)
.
 “Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all.” Taking a quote from Paul, “Now Brothers and sisters, concerning about spiritual gifting, I do not want you to be ignorant!” It is important for the body of Christ to understand what the purpose of Spiritual gifting. As you have read this posting, God has a special purpose for your life and when I say you, I mean you. When God created you, he put inside of you something special to give to the world and when Jesus died, he gave us the Holy Spirit to gain access to the power to achieve God’s plan for your life. This may come as a surprise to some and a reminder, but the promise of the Holy Spirit is the way to access the giftings that The Lord wants you to bring to this world. “There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving.” As there are different services to be done within the church and the body of Christ, so shall there be different people to do these things. It has been assumed before, that when many answer the calling of The Lord that they will become a preacher, but there are more areas within the church that need servicing. Some will feed the poor; others will evangelize to the youth and to other will help the elderly, but all will be done for the Glory of The Lord.
 
There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.” The Lord uses us all in different ways. He has blessed me with my online minister and to another it might be passing on what they learn to a co-worker at work. You never know how God will use you, but never think that what you are doing is less than anyone else. It is just like a finger thinking it is less than the head, all in all, they both work together to make up the body. “A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.” We are all gifted to help the whole body of Christ. Today, I pray that those who know there calling in the Lord continue forth and those who yet do not know, Pray and ask the Lord to reveal to them their part in the kingdom. God has a plan for your life and once you figure this out, you will be operating in the Gifting God has for you.

Day 55 Luke 8:43-48

And there was a woman in the crowd who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years. She had spent everything she had on doctors and still could find no cure. She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you. “But Jesus told him, “No, someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” When the woman realized that Jesus knew, she began to tremble and fell to her knees before him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Luke 8:43-48

 
And there was a woman in the crowd who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years. She had spent everything she had on doctors and still could find no cure.” For years, this woman was seeking for an answer to her problems. She spent everything she had going to people who she thought could cure her. But how many of us used to do the same? Trying to find answer to life problems every where and still left without an answer or with the problem solved? “She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.” Just a fringe of his robe and she was healed! I know many have read this before, but many may miss the power that this verse speaks of. This woman who spent all she had everywhere else, found complete healing from a corner of a robe of Jesus. See you must understand that it was Her Faith in knowing that she could be healed, but her Faith was not manifested until she came into the power of the Lord. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you. “But Jesus told him, “No, someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” I praise him, because he is worthy. If we today would make a stance to deliberately touch the Lord, how much would his power work in our lives! How many prayers that go up compared to how many blessings that comes down. Out of hundreds of People who were touching them, only one who touched the Hem, Fringe, the end of His robe was healed!
.
“When the woman realized that Jesus knew, she began to tremble and fell to her knees before him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” When you have Faith and Believe, it is God’s promise that we are made well. We have live changing Faith within us. If by Faith, this woman called upon the power to leave Jesus to heal her, how much so are we called to operate in the same capacity? There is a healing power that is available 24/7 to us and if we can gather just a mustard seed of Faith to touch the fringe of his robe, think of the deliverance that is guaranteed in your life within this hour in Jesus Name.

Day 54 Colossians 3:15-17

“Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace and always be thankful. Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.  And whatever you do or say let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.” (Colossians 3:15-17)

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” When I was doing my daily reading yesterday, I came across this verse. I had a long day at work and really was just tried from the day’s events. When I read, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,” I repeated this several times over. I noticed then that I accepted the Word into my heart and could physically feel myself stat to relax. I know some may not see the importance of this, but as we read in the next verse we can see why we are called to be at peace. “For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace.”  Then I started to realize and understand the principle and point of this verse. As one body of Christ, we are all tied into each other like an arm is connected to the hand.
.
Have you ever noticed when you have a pain in one area of your body, it affects the body as a whole. I remember many times when I sprained or broken a body part and how it changed and affected the rest of my body. God has Called us to be at peace, so as the Body, we shall have peace. It is always hard to understand the importance or role we play in the Kingdom of the Lord. We always want to believe our actions only affect ourselves and no one around us, but the reality is, just like a dominoes effect, your emotions bounce off of others.
.
Let us today be conscience of these things. If we are to be true examples of the Lord, then we must walk in his way. “Use his words to teach and counsel each other.” We are blessed richly with the Word of the Lord. As this is the case for many, let’s make it a point to counsel and teach others with what we have learned ourselves. Let the peace and Joy reign in your heart. For the Joy of the Lord could never be replace by anything we can find in this world. Peace comes to those who seek the inner sanctuary of the Lord. Rest within him, for there is a place of sound mind that the Lord wants you to be. “Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankful hearts.”  Once you have experienced the Joy of the Lord, watch as your body sings the praises of the Father. Rejoice in the Lord! Be Renewed In Jesus Name and seek to Gods Peace. Blessed is the One who knows he is truly Blessed with the Peace of the Lord.

Day 52 Joshua 1:3-9

I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you … No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.”(Joshua 1:3-9)

A great many of us are living a lie. Even though we are faithful in are daily works for the Lord there is a deep upon deep hungering in our souls to be greater. Many of us feel this way because we have not seen the greater things Jesus spoke about within the natural world. I have always been amazed to see healing and miracles break out at a evangelistic event, but I know God has called us to Acts of The Spirit that no man can deny. Lord has placed within me a vision of signs and miracles from even the lest of the believers in his name.

There has to be a breaking point where we put behind the natural world and enter into the realm of The Spirit. My prayer today is that everyone who has a deep upon deep yearning for the greater Acts of The Spirit continually pray in Faith in the name of Jesus name. I pray all strong holds that may be in your life be Broken in Jesus Name! I also pray for The Spirit to overcome all obstacles. We are called to be warriors in God’s Kingdom, but what is a Warrior if we do not see victory? I pray that Mantle of Victory Be upon you in this hour let none who ask go without the Lord’s Blessing.

Day 51 1 John 3:18-20

” Words are Wise, but Actions speak Louder!”

“Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions. It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before the Lord, even if our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.”(1 John 3:18-20)

.

“Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions.” I truly have a heart for The Lord. I say this because God has shown me from time after time that his Grace and Mercy is sufficient for every man and woman. I have heard story after story about how God has worked in different people’s life around the world. No matter the race, language or color; God has provided for all. Gods’ Word is more than just words we read on a page; they are Words that produce Action. When God says it is by Faith that we receive our blessings, it is not an empty promise. For the Bible says that God’s Word will not return Void which means there is a real force and power behind it. So what does this mean to us? That there is a standard that God has set that we should all follow; let us not speak of love, but put it into action.
.
“It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before the Lord, even if our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything.” I know it may sound crazy to most, but even if we feel in our hearts that we could have acted more in Love, God knows us better than we know ourselves. It is with the passion and desire that we seek after the Will of the Lord that God himself has put inside of us. For the heart does not know the Will of our Father in Heaven. The time of speaking in Love will never change, but let us pursue the action of Love above all things.

Day 50 1 Peter 1:12-13

” A Reminder!”

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth.  Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.”(1 Peter 1:12-13)

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth” A long time ago, while I was praying and reading the Word of the Lord, God started to speak to me. I had yet started to write these daily devotionals and at the time that he put it on my heart that I should. After awhile of God urging me to move forward, I simply told the Lord that why should I write devotionals when there are a million and one other people who are already writing them daily! Then that is when God said to me, “you aren’t the millionth and two and there is something inside of you that has never been inside of anyone else!” Taken back by this statement, it took me a long while to understand what God was talking about. No man is alike, even though you may have a twin or someone similar to you, you are still you. God has blessed us with life because we have a purpose. If God can make millions of different animals on the earth to serve a purpose, how much more do we as His children have a  greater destiny says the Word of the Lord.
.
“Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.” I believe this to be true, because sometimes through the struggle and trails, we simply forget the promises of God. As long as my lungs have breath and my spirit within this body, I will preach the Word of the Lord. God has blessed us with everything we need, so this should be a reminder of His Love to the Body of Christ.
