Day 398 John 16:20-28

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Pain, For we count all suffering towards our work in Christ. There will be those who live in worldly comfort, but their hearts are not set on the Lord. Count it a Blessing that you have given everything for the eternity that is to come!

It is Written, “Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. “Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” John 16:20-28

Prayer: Father, I know many grow wary of this world, But I pray that you daily send them encouragement to continue the good fight of Faith you have imparted into your Children in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 396 John 4:3-14

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Hunger and Thirst, For there is a burning desire beyond the Flesh which drive those called by the Shepard to seek his voice. We were made for more than this and the fire inside our souls will not let us relent. I Thank the Lord for His Waters that can satisfy this deep longing within!

It is Written, “So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:3-14

Prayer: Father, I Pray Lord that you increase the Thirst of your people that we may seek you deep of a spiritual level in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 395 1 Corinthians 1:1-9

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord For Spiritual Gifts, For it is written that we must eager seek what the Spirit freely gives. I Thank you Lord for we are not victims to Spiritual forces, but have access to fight against Satan’s kingdom. For what we lack in the Flesh, all is given by the Spirit!

It is Written, “Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ–their Lord and ours: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way–with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge– God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 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:-9

Prayer: Father in Heaven, I Pray Lord that we as your Children take a Firm Look at the Life you have called us to. For if it is not Flesh and Blood we won against, then it is only Spiritual weapons that shall defeat the enemy in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 394 1 Corinthians 15:10-20

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for His Ever loving Grace, For we have been given a gift daily that frees us from God’s Wrath, For we were an enemy of the Lord, but by the Blood of Christ we have been made a friend of God! Let us look to repaid the greatest example of forgiveness, by seeking in our hearts those who we need to forgive!

It is Written, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them–yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” 1 Corinthians 15:10-20

Prayer: I Pray Lord that your Continue to show us the depth of your Mercy in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 393 1 Corinthians 14:5-15

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Understanding, For there is deep revelation and knowledge within the Spirit of the Lord! We must not lean on Knowledge alone, but be wise in all our actions. Only by the Holy Spirit are we able to meditate these things and make decisions that will further us in our Destiny. We seek great knowledge, but know it is the Wisdom of the Spirit that shall bear great Fruit!

It is Written, “I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified. Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.” 1 Corinthians 14:5-15

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to plant seeds of knowledge in your Children, so that our harvest of Understanding shall be great in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 389 3 John 1:1-14

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the opportunity to be Imitators of His Word, For we all know that no man is good, but we are called to be that which is not a reflection of evil. It is in our humbleness and understanding that it is Grace that has saved us and it is by His Love that we have been brought for a price. Christ gave all and at every opportunity we should give in remembrance of Our Lord’s Great Sacrifice!

It is Written, “The elder, To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth. I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone–and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true. I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.” 3 John 1:1-14

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continue to Build your Children up to be Brave and stand for you in these evil and wicked times in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 388 Acts 10:34-48

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Acceptance, For it is not by the Color of skin or National identity that the Lord calls His Children, but by the Spirit of those who seek righteousness over the corruption of sin! For the Message of God is that not one to perish to the fire, but to be saved by His Blood and filled with His Spirit. Great is the Kingdom of Heaven, for all His Sheep shall be welcomed into the New Jerusalem!

It is Written, “Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached– how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen–by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.” Acts 10:34-48

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Speak to your Children and Remind them that none are unclean, but all have been washed with the Blood of the Lamb in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 385 2 Corinthians 3:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for being able to praise and worship his Holy Name! For our Father has given us a voice that is called to give Him Worship. Many idle words may department our mouths, but sacred and pure are the Words that Flow from the Spirit!

It is Written, “Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” 2 Corinthians 3:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we carry with us the Death of the Flesh, So that the Life of the Spirit shall be shown through us in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 384 1 Corinthians 6:1-10

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Destiny, For those who commit themselves to the role God has called them to will experience life in the Spirit and the suffering of the Flesh. For The Spirit to be alive, or flesh must die. For what is on the dirt shall return, and what is made from His Spirit Shall be reunited in the grand Wedding!

It is Written, “If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? But instead, one brother takes another to court–and this in front of unbelievers! The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that we seek to equip ourselves of Destiny you have called forth for your Children in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 381 1 John 2:12-17

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Love, For it is Love that calls a Man from His Family, to Consecrate himself for the Most High God! For it is Love that calls you away from all things and everyone to spend time with Him who has created you. Our hearts are not set on things of this world, but for the Eternity to come. Love will always thirst until He who brings living waters is within!

It is Written, “I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:12-17

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Bless us with the Spirit to depart from the things of this World so that we May Focus on bring more of the Spirit and Less of the Flesh in Jesus Name, Amen!
