Day 548 Hebrew 2:10-18

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Spirit, For we are called to tame the flesh and live in obedience by Faith! I Thank The Lord for Correction, For The Father only Disciplines those who are his Children! I Thank The Lord for The Calling, For there is a great battle before those who stand and say, “Here I Am!” For what Heaven has started, hell cannot stop it!

It is Written, “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. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Hebrew 2:10-18

Prayer: Father, Just like many before us, I know your Spirit still speaks to your Children. I Pray Lord that everyone who hears your voice today cries out, “Here I Am!” Let us not pass the opportunity to hear your voice and to serve your Will in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Christ, For through Him light has come into the World! I Thank The Lord for Repentance, For we who sin can be purified through Confession! I Thank The Lord for Righteousness, For we have an advocate in Jesus that will intercede to the Father on our behalf!

It is Written, “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 1:5-2:2

Prayer: Father, We have an advocate in Jesus that sets us free from our sins. I Pray that we confess the darkness of our sins in Jesus Name to cling to your Light. For we all have fallen short and daily seek your forgiveness!

Day 545 Romans 5:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Faith, For your conscience may come against you, but your Love for Christ through repentance will over come all doubts! I Thank The Lord for His Word, For you have given us the tools to combat the lies of Satan just as Christ did through the temptation! I Thank The Lord for Resilience, For God knows our daily battles, He has given Grace so that we may Faithful put our Love in Him!

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. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” Romans 5:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray that you renew our minds to remember Grace and continue in Hope in Christ Jesus. For we know not the full power of your Love and I pray for all God’s Children that we stand firm in our faith in Christ Jesus forever, Amen!

Thanksgivings: I Thank The Lord for Truth, For daily we are called to rebuke the lies of Satan, for the mind is a battle field and only The Word of God shall prevail! I Thank The Lord for Grace, For we are called not to lean to our own understanding, but Every Word spoken by God! I Thank The Lord for Victory, For even when we lose a battle, We take courage in knowing the War has been Won!

It is Written, “My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.” Proverbs 3:1-10

Prayer: Father, you are great in all your ways and I Pray that your Children never put faith in flesh that their knowledge is greater than your Spirit! I pray that we as your servants always put our Understanding in you and not what we have learned form this world. Make us fools Father and through our foolishness shall it confound the wisdom of this Age!

Day 543 Romans 6:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Resurrection, For we have been given power over the grave! I Thank The Lord for a New Day, For The Father has forgiven us of the Past and called us to fix our eyes to heaven! I Thank The Lord for Trust, For we in our heart of hearts must believe that we are called to greater than what the world has shown us!

It is Written, “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin– because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.” Romans 6:1-10

Prayer: Father, I Pray for a New Day for your Children. I Pray that we realize the depth of Sins deception and turn our faces to Heaven. I Pray in Jesus Name that we let not old wine consume new wine skins! For you have made us new through Christ Jesus and I pray we remember these thing through out our day.

Day 541 James 1:19-27

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Righteousness, For those who are quick to anger or judge are slow to remember The Lord! I Thank The Lord for Humility, For it leads us from the evil ways of this World! I Thank The Lord for The ways of Christ, For when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we should see Christ in all that we do!

It is Written, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it–not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it–they will be blessed in what they do. Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:19-27

Prayer: Father, I know the struggles that this world brings and pray for all my Brothers and Sisters who seek daily to never forgot to stand firm for Righteousness in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Patience, For we know the Day of the Lord shall be upon us like a thief in the night! I Thank The Lord for Perseverance, For we continue with the Faith though we are mocked by the World! I Thank The Lord for His Word, For this world shall pass away and we the faithful shall be rewarded!

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.” 2 Peter 3:1-10

Prayer: Father, I pray that we as your Sons and Daughters of the Most High God continue on the good fight of Salvation through these changing times! For we who were the many are now becoming the few. For what men kept in darkness is now be heralded as the new light. I pray that we kept Christ alive as we are condemned for honoring your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Obedience, For God’s know it takes more than sacrifice to over come! I Thank The Lord for Breakthrough, For we all put our Hope and Faith in Jesus hearing our prayers! I Thank The Lord for Listening, For The Holy Spirit is always speaking to us, shall we not hardened our hearts, but lend an ear!

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. That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.” Hebrews 3:1-12

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I Pray that we as your Children remember what you have called us to and where you have delivered us from in Jesus Name, Amen! For we have all sinned and fallen short, but have send One who speaks to our hearts on your Behalf!

Thanksgiving: Thanks be to The Lord for Trails, For we are not tested by The Lord, but desires that come against us! Thanks be to The Lord for Perseverance, For those who keep from temptation shall build character before God! Thanks be to The Lord for Grace, For it Shall remind us that our true Strength is in God!

It is Written, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.” James 1:12-18

Prayer: Father, I pray for all who endure temptations through this life, for it shall pass and those who remain strong in the Lord shall reap a great Harvest in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 527 Philippians 3:1-14

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!
