Day 524 John 1:19-28

Thanksgivings: I Thank The Lord for Baptism, For this is the sign to the world that we are marked for the Lord! I Thank The Lord for Water, For it was given to us to wash away sins! I Thank The Lord for the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, For it is the Baptism of Authority over the unseen world!

It is Written, “Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ ” Now the Pharisees who had been sent questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.” John 1:19-28

Understanding: John’s testimony is true. For he was not the Messiah. He said that there is another who will come after him in whose sandals he was not fit to untie. John Baptized by water, so what would Jesus Baptize by? If the one who is unworthy could only Baptized by the sign of repentance, who Baptism brings forth the Authority to fight against sin? Let us not be so blinded by what is clearly true. If you received John’s Baptism, how are you to forsake that of Christ! Make straight the way of the Lord, for He has called you to be filled with His Spirit!

Prayer: Father, For none are able to live a life apart from you and I pray that we confess these things, no matter how holy one feels or dirty as one lives, We all are sinners who by your Grace and Mercy have been redeemed by the Cross in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Heavenly Encounters, For we never know when we are entertaining Angels! I Thank The Lord Singing in the Spirit, For He has given us the Authority to praise His Holy Name! I Thank The Lord for Deep Prayer, For when we give Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit, it opens a gateway unto you!

It is Written, “”My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one– I in them and you in me–so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” John 17:20-26

Understanding: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.” Powerful prayer and Powerful Words. We are modern day aliens in our own lands. We must understand that as Jesus was not of this world, we are not of this World. Any Man who seeks to forfeit his Citizenship in Heaven becomes a citizen of Earth. As Aliens, we are mistreated, misunderstood in our languages and cultural ways will always been seen as different. But what we strive for is a Life with greater Authority than those who are under the law of Flesh. Given as we are called under the Law of Spirit, we become rightful heirs to The Kingdom of Heaven. Just as Christ ascended to Heaven and Defeated death, so shall we join him in Victory!

Prayer: Father, I pray that we are your Children do not fall for the lies and temptation that this world brings, but offers ourselves daily as Servants of The Kingdom of Heaven in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 522 Luke 18:35-43

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Remembrance, For God has healed us of many afflictions, For we are called to give reverence everyday! I Thank the Lord for Commands, For He has given us Authority over All things in Jesus Name! I Thank the Lord for The Holy Spirit, For we have a Helper that fights on our Behalf!

It is written, “As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God. ” Luke 18:35-43

Understanding: This man had been blind, maybe from birth or just days, but one thing he knew, he was a sinner. As soon as he heard that Jesus is Coming, He called out to Jesus as the Messiah saying, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” By this he was acknowledging who Jesus is. But that was not enough, Jesus knew what the man wanted, but questioned him, “ What do you want me to do for you?” he replied, “ Lord, I want to see.” Having repented before the Lord and asking for Mercy and Boldly asking for the thing he wanted to be healed of, Jesus Said that the mans Faith had healed him and he was healed. No matter how much we cry out to the Lord, we must first seek repentance, followed by God’s Mercy and only when we have great faith so shall we receive Healing. There is order in The heavens that has authority over all things on earth. Remember The Word of the Lord, for it shall heal you of All things in Jesus Name!

Prayer: Father, I pray and intercede on the Behalf of All men, rather they be righteous or wicked, may they turn from their prideful or evil ways to Praise you in Jesus Name, Amen!

Day 520 Jonah 1:1-15

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord For The Spirit of Understanding, For He reveals the purpose of our trials. I Thank the Lord for Knowledge, For we truly know the difference between right and wrong. I Thank the Lord for Obedience, For it will always be greater than any Sacrifice that we may bring!

It is Written, “The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.” Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.) The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?” “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.” Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the LORD, “Please, LORD, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, LORD, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.” Jonah 1:1-15

Prayer: Father, My Heart and Prayer is for those who are running. I Pray those who you have called into your Service, come home as you are waiting for their return. I Pray that you Make them realize that the Path they take will lead only to destruction until they turn back to you in Jesus Name, Amen!

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!

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!

Thanksgivings: I Thank the Lord for New Beginnings, For He has given us today filled with Grace! I Thank the Lord for Faithfulness, though the World around us is Filled with Darkness, we shall prevail! I Thank the Lord for Grace, For daily we are reminded of our weakness!

It is Written, “Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him–and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:11-19

Prayer: Father, I pray that all your Children remember that by Faith all things are possible through Jesus and not by earthly means. We should Daily remember who has saved us and worship His Name!

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!

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!

Thanksgiving: I Thank The Lord for Commission, For He has destined for His Glory. For we may not understand all things of the Lord, but we put our trust in what he is calling us to. For we all have different parts to play in the body of Christ and I thank the Father for each one and your purpose!

It is Written, “”About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ ” ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. ” ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. ” ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked. ” ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me. “A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. He stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I was able to see him. “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.” Acts 22:6-16

Prayer: Father, I pray that you meet your children in the way they have been called. For many who were tax collectors and prostitutes will make it into the kingdom ahead of us, I pray for every soul to encounter you in their own special way!
