Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Faith, For what is not shall be for those who Believe! I Thank the Lord for Compassion, For we were all lost in the Lord’s eyes at one time! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For only the Lord can see the Love in a Man’s Heart!

 

It is Written, “Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed. “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: ” ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.” Mark 12: 1-12

 

Prayer: I pray Father that you continually show your Children Faith, even when we fall short of our calling in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for My Day of Birth, For He has shown great Favor to His Bond Servant! I Thank the Lord for Growth, For through the years He has Shown me the Deeper things of Life and Love! I Thank the Lord for Patience, For by Prayer and Fasting shall we receive what is truly on our Hearts!

 

It is Written, “Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written: “Be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.” Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.” Galatians 4:21-31

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that those who are Slaves by the Flesh realize that the Promise of the Spirit is born of the Free Woman and Offered to the First Son in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For He has made the Foolish Look wise by His Word! I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For we forgive, because we have been forgiven! I Thank the Lord for Love, even when people do wrong, we repay it with Righteousness!

It is Written, “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:27-36

 

Prayer: I Pray Abba Father that you continually show your Children what it means to Love, even when are persecuted in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Vision, For without it, we as a people would be lost in a dead world! I Thank the Lord for Tithe, For are love is shown when we make our offering to the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Due Diligence, For those who seek the Lord on a deeper level shall find the Father!

 

It is Written, “For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles– Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” Ephesians 3:1-12

 

Prayer: I Pray Father Abba, that you move this generation to seek the greater gifts you offer to them in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Bravery, For we are called to stand when all else is falling! I Thank the Lord for Divine Dreams, For the Father has Angel’s who work in mysterious ways! I Thank the Lord for Fortitude, For through every struggle we and strengthened!

 

It is Written, “After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.” 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.” Matthew 2:19-23

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Send your Children dreams that will move them closer to their destinies in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 232 Hebrews 10:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Convictions, For by the Holy Spirit we are lead to change our lives for God! I Thank the Lord for Blessings, Daily I pray that the Father increase the lands and territories of His Children! I Thank the Lord for His Divine Word, For it changes all Men from the inside out for all the world to see!

 

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.” Hebrew 10:1-10

 

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Children present themselves before you in one simple phrase, “Here I am!”

Day 225 Luke 13:1-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Growth, for the Lord gives every man an opportunity to get closer to Him! I Thank the Lord for Timing, For in a season, we shall see where God is calling us! I Thank the Lord for Vision, for it is a blessing to see beyond any man’s current situation!

 

It is Written, “Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them–do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ ” ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down. “Luke 13:1-9

 

Prayer: Father, I Pray that you brings us to the understanding of your Love and the time we have is the time we are called to produce fruit in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 218 James 3:13-17

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Wisdom, For by it’s fruits it shall be shown known! I Thank the Lord for Mercy, For everyman shall forgive, for they have been forgiven! I Thank the Lord for Encouragement, For all have been through the valley low and seek to bring up those who are down!

 

It is Written, “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:13-17

 

Prayer: I Pray Dear Heavenly Father that you Bring forth Heavenly Wisdom to your Children in this hour so we may be blessing to the people around us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 215 2 Corinthians 1:12-22

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Covering, By His Blood He has set his seal upon His people! I Thank the Lord for Liberty, For Freedom comes from the Spirit of the Lord! I Thank the Lord for Joy, for His has overcame darkness for us to live in the light!

It is Written, “Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace. For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus. Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you might benefit twice. I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea. Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”? But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us–by me and Silas and Timothy–was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.” For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.” 2 Corinthians 1:12-22

Prayer: Dear Abba Father, I Pray that your Children focus on making their yes mean yes and their No’s mean No in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for weakness, for in it, we find our strength in the Lord! I Thank the Lord for imperfection, for in all things, His Grace is sufficient! I Thank the Lord for His Blood, For just like His Love, it cover a multitude of Sins!

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. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:1-13

Prayer: I Pray Father that we not keep our minds set on today, but prepare for the coming of your kingdom daily in Jesus Name, Amen!
