1 Corinthians 13:1,2

1 Corinthians 13:1,2 (KJV)
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Today’s Prayer (07/31/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Lord, I pray that everyone that has faith in You, will also build upon that belief. May our hearts be continually open to the truths of Your Words, in the Bible, and in prayer. Open our hearts and minds to knowledge that only comes from above. Help us learn how to have self-control and be patient. Give us over to live like You and be more selfless. We desire to live differently and know that You can help us do so. Shape our lives that we may shine brightly. Help us to show kindness and love towards everyone we meet. May forgiveness be in our hearts no matter the cause. And if someone is in need, bring us to care for them. We hope in You, Lord. Your love gives us reasons to endure in our faith. If there is any goodness in our lives it is from You. You are the reason why we are joyful. Your presence gives us peace. We love You Lord and our lives are to follow You, even till the ends of time. Amen.

The Fruits Of The Spirit

Our belief in God is the first step of following Him. Our openness to God allows Him to pour into us and give us wisdom.

1 Corinthians 12:12,13

1 Corinthians 12:12,13 (KJV)
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Today’s Prayer (07/30/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that more people that believe in You, take the extra step and repent and be baptized. So many people in church do not understand the need to be born again of the water and of the Spirit and I pray that this changes. May this teaching be plain in churches that Your gifts of the Spirit are for every person that has committed their life to You, through baptism. I am amazed at the gifts that You have bestowed upon me. Thank You for the gift of wisdom. I am now able to gain Your insight and apply these teachings in my life. Your words of knowledge has helped me grow so much in the faith. You have strengthened my faith, each day that I seek You. You continually pour into my soul and give me guidance. Thank You for opening my mouth and giving me words to speak. I rely on the Spirit, oh Lord. Without the Spirit, I can do nothing. Work through me Lord and help me show kindness towards everyone around me. Also, help others that are seeking You and have not experienced these gifts yet. Help them take the extra steps needed, in order to experience these spiritual gifts for themselves. I know that You can do all things. I trust in You Lord. I love You. Amen.

The Gifts Of The Spirit

Some of you may recognize the gifts of the Spirit in your life, and others not so much. For me, God has given me the gift of wisdom, knowledge, faith, and to discern spirits.

Galatians 5:24,25

Galatians 5:24,25 (KJV)
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Galatians 5:22,23

Galatians 5:22,23 (KJV)

Today’s Prayer (07/29/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, thank You for giving us Your divine wisdom on how to enter the kingdom of God. We are grateful to come before You and be cleansed from all our sins. We give every evil work of the flesh over to You, this day. We acknowledge our sins and ask for forgiveness. Have mercy upon us Lord. We are sorry for living for the flesh and apart from You. We wish to not live this way any longer. Help us to no longer serve the flesh but live for the Spirit. And Lord, to those that have not been baptized of the Spirit, convict them now, to do so. May they repent and be baptized before it is too late. And to those that are already baptized in the Holy Spirit, wake them up. Set a revival in their hearts. Lead them away from all uncleanness and unto repentance. May they come back to their one true love, which is You, Jesus. I pray that they remember the day when they were baptized and filled with the Spirit. This I plead for them. Come back and be filled again. I know that You are waiting Lord. Lord, cleanse us this day, of all our sins, and fill us with Your Spirit. We believe in You. We trust in You. You are our hope. I love You Lord. Amen.

Proverbs 18:10-12

Proverbs 18:10-12 (KJV)
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

Proverbs 18:1,2

Proverbs 18:1,2 (KJV)

Today’s Prayer (07/28/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, come and cut down the pride in men and women’s hearts. When these people are shut up and have no place to receive You, convict them of their wrongs, nonetheless. Lead good Christians to pray for and care for them. May they speak with love and peace and never give up on them. Help these Christians to abide in You and speak through the Spirit. Then you can pierce the hearts of the wicked and show them the darkness that they are in. One day, I pray that their walls may come crumbling down. And in all their brokenness, I know that You can mend their broken hearts. You can speak wisdom to their lives and lead them to the truth. We are unable to escape the temptations of the devil but with You in our lives, we can do all things. So Lord, I pray that humility will come and that these people will be drawn to Your love. May they find mercy and grace. And when that happens, show them a new life . Give them understanding from above and lead them by the Spirit. Thank You for showing me the way. I am humbled by Your mercy and wisdom in my life. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen.

Be Wise In The Lord And No Longer Foolish

With all things good from God, there will always be the majority of people that reject it. Because they are foolish, they cannot see the value of learning from God.

Today’s Prayer (07/27/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I am so saddened to see how wicked this world has become. So many things are now considered OK by the world’s standards when these same things were once shunned. It is disheartening to see so many people now in favor of the homosexual lifestyle and how it is hardly ever spoken against in churches. It is also sickening to see millions of babies die every year and not hear one sermon on how killing unborn babies is evil. And even worse, porn is so prevalent in this generation. Because it is no longer hard to gain access to, even people in the faith are tied up with it. What has happened to this generation Lord. Why is it that people are justifying their wicked deeds? Why is it that people go out drinking and don’t even think twice? These things bring me to tears. I do not even know what to say but wicked, wicked, wicked are the people in this world. Please come Lord and wake up the people in the faith. Lead them on Your path of righteousness. May they come out of darkness, once and for all, and serve You, my King. Come and convict the hearts of the wicked, that they may repent and be made right in Your sight. I believe in You. I trust in You, Jesus. Amen.

 

Obey God’s Commandments And Enter Life

There are many people that think they are doing God’s will but are really leading people astray. Many of these same people do not even teach on obeying God’s commandments.

Proverbs 17:3,4

Proverbs 17:3,4 (KJV)
3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

Today’s Prayer (07/26/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, thank You for helping us know where we stand before You. Thank You for bringing to our attention all our sins. We do not wish to be wicked but holy before You Lord. And we know that only in Your presence can we be made righteous. We are not able to be good on our own will. And if any goodness comes inside our lives, it all comes from You. It is Your great love for us that moves us to be kind to others. It is Your forgiveness that helps us forgive others more freely. We love as You love us Lord. You have cleansed our hearts through Your blood and I am so grateful. Thank You for resurrecting me from the dead. Though my flesh was dead in the things of this world, You have come and given me new life. All the darkness has been scattered and Your light is in my sights, and it is glorious. This gift of forgiveness and mercy is so precious Lord. Thank You for Your compassion. May my life also reflect this same compassion to everyone I meet. If people are in need, help me to show them love and kindness. May I be so generous to help them as You help me daily. I love You Lord. Amen.

As God Convicts Us, We Listen

If you are for God, then you will help those in need and never laugh at people’s problems. Instead, love and care for every person you meet that has difficulties.

Proverbs 16:25-27

Proverbs 16:25-27 (KJV)
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

Today’s Prayer (07/25/2018)

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray for the unbelievers and those that are lost in a false religion. My heart breaks for them and the path they are on. There is a way that can lead them out of their bondage, and that is You Lord, but they do not see it. Their eyes are shut and their pride is elevated. Will you come and convict them, this day, of their wrongs? Humble them. Show them how foolish they have been and awaken them to what is true. I know that I was once a part of this group of people and am so happy that You have come and awakened my soul from darkness. Though I felt I knew the truth, I soon found out that I was so wrong. My ideas and church beliefs did not outweigh You or Your words. Based on the Bible, Your holy standard, I was living with a false conviction. The doctrines I had learned and believed in were only of men and Your words spoke out against them in volumes. It was difficult when You first made me aware of Your truths and the false teachings I was under but I am so grateful now. What seemed to be hard to bear in the past now seems so compassionate of You to lead me from darkness and into Your light. I love You Lord. I know that all truth comes from You and Your Words in the Bible. Amen.
