Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Suffering, For it shall Bring from Character! I Thank the Lord for Fruitfulness, For it is the product of Our Faith! I Thank the Lord for Time, For it bears a testimony that shall last for an Eternity!

 

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: I Pray Father that you place in the Hearts of your people Remembrance of the great blessing that are received when we Suffer for your Name Sake in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For we all have fallen short, but the Lord is Good Enough to Redeem His Children! I Thank the Lord for Faith, For in the Mist of trails and tribulation, we are called to believe what is not as if it is! I Thank the Lord for Destiny, For we have been given life to bring forth a testimony of God’s great Love!

 

It is Written, “Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome. The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’ ” Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” “He is worthy of death,” they answered. Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?” Matthew 26:57-68

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Come Father, Come and Lift us up so your Name Shall be Glorified through the World in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Prayer, For we are called to Pray always in the Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Angels, For in our times of weakness, we can call upon them to strengthen us! I Thank the Lord for Destiny, For we all have assignments in this life!

 

It is Written, “Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour–when darkness reigns. ” Luke 22:39-53

 

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you Bless your Children with the Strength from your Holy Angels to step fully in our destiny in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Authority, For we Operate in all giftings under the Banner of The Holy Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Power, For Authority is given to all Men, but few operate in it’s Full Strength! I Thank the Lord for The Spirit Realm, For what we see in this world Is temporary and what is unseen is forever!

 

It is Written, “Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority. In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!” “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.” Luke 4:31-38

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we are your Children find our true voice and with it, cast out and aside all Demonic forces in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for New Beginnings, For we have Been Bought for a price we could never repay! I Thank the Lord for Covering, For even we are not aware, God is Watching over Us! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For we have not earned what our Father has Died for!

 

It is Written, “The elder, To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth–and not I only, but also all who know the truth– because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love. It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.” 2 John 1:1-10

 

Prayer: I pray Lord that you continue to Bless the House Hold of those who are called to rise Families that will serve you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Judgment, For we have all been Forgiven of something! I Thank the Lord Righteous Living, For we are called to suffer just as our Father has Suffered! I Thank the Lord for The Fear of God, For we are all called to Worship the One and only Living God!

 

It is Written, “Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:11-21

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you strengthen us as Believer so we may endure the Life we are called to as Christians in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 261 Hebrews 2:1-17

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Pruning, For the Lord shall Divide the Sheep from the goats in our lives! I Thank the Lord for Super Natural Power, For through His people He shall shows signs and Wonders! I Thank the Lord for The Spirit to Overcome, For we have not been called to a Spirit of Defeat!

 

It is Written, “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.” Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death–that is, the devil– and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.” Hebrews 2:1-17

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that as we grow into you Lord, I ask for your Spirit to be out poured out upon your Children in this tie of Latter Rain like it has never been before in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Labor, For it gives Birth to Destiny! I Thank the Lord for Perseverance, For Every work in Christ shall be Rewarded! I Thank the Lord for Peace of Mind, For this World shall not rob of us the Spirit which is from Heaven!

 

It is Written, “Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness– the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.” Colossians 1:24-29

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children Seek to Glorify you on a Spiritual level that has yet been seen by this world in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Forgiveness, For we are all called to bring forth Mercy and Compassion! I Thank the Lord for Self-Control, For we have been given a great task from the Lord and must stand for our Calling! I Thank the Lord for Understanding, For our knowledge of all things means nothing without Divine Wisdom!

 

It is Written, “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:3-11

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless your Children with Divine Encouragement in this hour, For the ways of the world shall weigh upon us, but we shall overcome in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 257 1 Thessalonians 2:6-16

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Desire, For there is a burning within my Bones which Shall be Revealed! I Thank the Lord for Consecration, For we have been called to Prepare ourselves for the Bride-Groom! I Thank the Lord for Separation, For God Has called us all out to walk with him for a Time!

 

It is Written, “We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.” 1 Thessalonians 2:6-16

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as Children of the Most High God understand that we are not of this World as our Father was not of this World in Jesus Name, Amen!
