Day 518 John 6:49-60

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Devotion, For he has Given us a Spirit of Worship, for we are called to praise Him though all trials! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For we can not earn what we do not deserve! I Thank the Lord for Destiny, though He was just a Sheep Herder, even David was bound to take Hid Place as King!

It is Written, “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

John 6:49-60

Prayer: Father, though your teachings are deep and meaning beyond Human understanding, I Thank you that you have given Ears for those to Hear and Eyes to those who can see. My prayers are for the Blind and Deaf to receive what has been freely given in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 517 Romans 5:1-5

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Morning, For the new day reminds us of His Glory! I Thank the Lord for The New Man, For we are Called to put the things of the Past behind us! I Thank the Lord for Determination, For God is Calling for us to fight to bring forth who He has Called us to be!

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.” Romans 5:1-5

Prayer: Father, I Pray that as we continue to Seek to Bring Character that will lead to never ending Hope in Jesus, that we for go the things of this World and hold onto what you have given through The Holy Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen!

516 1 Corinthian 9:24-27

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Favor, Even though Job lost it all, He was Blessed with Many’s Folds for His Faith! I Thank the Lord for Faith, For we may not see what Obedience Brings, We have trust it shall bring back Blessings! I Thank the Lord for Endurance, For this Life has many trials that we are called to fight through.

It is Written, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Prayer: Father, I Pray that as we run this Race, that you gives us Direction on how to truly train and prepare for the Destiny you have called us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 514 Revelation 21:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Father for His Blood, For we are not cleansed by daily sacrifices, For Jesus Dead to make way for past future and present! I Thank the Lord for redeeming us from the fire and preparing us to be Brides!

It is Written, “Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars–they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.” Revelation 21:1-10

Prayer: Father, For we know not what is to come, but all things that have been foreshadow through your Word Shall prepare us. I Pray that we continue to seek the depth of knowledge in your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 513 Acts 18:5-11

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!

507 John 21:12-19

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!

Day 505 John 13:1-17

Thanksgiving: I Thank you Lord for this Day of Preparation, For you are Calling our Hearts to Receive what was freely given! I Thank you Lord for your Devotion, For you know what was coming and did not relent! I Thank you Lord for Humbleness, For God in Flesh lowered himself even more to Wash the Apostles Feet!

It was Written, “It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.”You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13:1-17

Prayer: Father, as we prepare to give remembrance to your great Feast, I pray Lord that your children daily recount the Love you have shown to wash them clean in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 504 1 Corinthians 3:4

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!

Day 503 Romans 7:18

Thanksgiving: I thank the Lord for Today, for His mercy shall endure forever! I Thank the Lord for Encouragement, for Daily he reassurance me with His Word! I Thank the Lord for Blessings, For His favor rest upon His Children!

It is Written, “ For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” Romans 7:18

“ For I know that good itself goes not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature…” I have found that men idolize other men. I never could understand this and I am not talking about in the world. In many Christian circles, there are the “Super Apostles” as Paul would refer to them. Even then, you will find preachers of the Word with this title! What is a title? For we are all servants. Even Paul, who wrote most of the new testament, struggled to do what is write. For it is written that Paul asked the Lord to remove the thorn from His side, but God said my Grace is sufficient. All Men struggle, for this is the nature or Flesh verse Spirit. Though you may want to do right, your soulish nature will always fight against you. “For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out…” We are bound by Grace and Truth, if you are to live a life in Christ foot steps, you will found yourself constantly humbled, for the Lord despises the Proud. This is Why Jesus is our mediator, who he knew that the only way to be cleansed of our Sins, we for Him to redeem us through His Perfect Work. Take Heart, do not forsake righteous work that the Lord has assigned you, for even in our failings, He is Callings us to continue on!

Prayer: Father, I know the weakness of the flesh tries to lead your Children astray, but I Pray for each and everyone of your people who seek to Spread your Word in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 500 Galatians 2:20

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord my God for a New Day! I Thank the Lord that even through all crisis, His Plan is made Complete. I Thank the Lord by His Hand, I am able to come and serve Him Daily!

It is Written, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

“ I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live….” In a world always seeking the meaning of life, we as Christians have been called to death. Everything we have grown to know tells us that we should live for the moment and seize the day! For whatever our sense’s lead us, we are to follow. The world says follow your heart or the heart wants what it wants. But we know it is written that the ways of the Lord is not the ways of men. “The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God…” We are no longer our flesh. For to long we have been lead and pulled each way by emotions and fleshly urges. God commands us by His Word to be followers of Christ and to Live Christ like. To be Christian at its root definition is literally to be followers of Christ. We do this because The Father so loved the World, He gave His only Son! With this life of Death, we shall inherit ever lasting life! Death of the Flesh is not the end, but the beginning of understanding. The Father’s love is always with you and always remember, “…who loved me and gave himself for me,” is the same one who seeks to bring into His Eternal kingdom!

Prayer: Father, I pray that today we make a stance to no longer be the same. For too many years we have forsaken you and my prayer is that those who have been called, rise and talk their place!
