1 Chronicles 16:23-25

1 Chronicles 16:23-25 (KJV)
23 Sing unto the Lord , all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

Today’s Prayer (11/29/2018)

Oh Lord, our mighty God, I know You are there. You are all powerful and can do all things. Nothing can stop your judgements, wrath or punishments. This is inevitable for anyone that disregards Your commands. To live our own life and disregard You and Your counsels for our life is setting us up for hell. I know that without You there is only torment and pain. Shame and guilt is the consequence of disobeying Your will. Therefore, I have learned from my mistakes and I do not wish to do my own thing anymore. When I was foolish and blatantly sinned, I felt your wrath upon me. I have felt Your torments and I do not wish to go down that road again. To anyone that is in this mess now, pierce their hearts and minds, Lord. I pray that they will be ready to change their life today. Whatever is holding them back, take it all away. Break every chain of addiction from their lives. Lead them away from the darkness and into Your light. It is so beautiful to be here in Your presence. I am safe, for Your peace surrounds me. Your love has changed my wicked heart. Thank You for Your forgiveness and mercy. You are so amazing God. I love You. Amen.

The Lord’s Vineyard

As the people of God did not obey His counsel, God’s wrath and judgements were upon their shoulders.

Isaiah 5:22-24

Isaiah 5:22-24 (KJV)
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 5:11,12

Isaiah 5:11,12 (KJV)
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

Today’s Prayer (11/28/2018)

Lord God, thank You for helping me stay far away from alcohol. I have seen alcohol kill marriages and tear families apart and I am so happy that You have helped me steer clear from this. However, I know that many people in this world are caught up in drinking. Even so-called Christians are in this mess. My heart breaks for these people and I pray that they will turn from their sins and repent today. I know that Your mercy is for those that allow You to change their lives. However, I also know that Your wrath is real and these people that follow in their sins till death will be smitten. With Your presence in my life I know that following Your will is the most important thing ever. It is wicked to live by our wants and desires and leave You out of the picture. Calling evil good is never good and this almost destroyed my life, as You know God. If I had not called Your Name in prayer those many years ago, my life would be in shambles and I’d probably be dead and suffering in hell right now. I know that Your mercy endures forever but I also know that Your judgements are for real. Thank You for leading me out of a life of sin and into Your love. Thank You for Your forgiveness. I am so grateful to be on Your path and straightway to heaven. I want to be with You Lord. You are my light and my strength. Take my life and do as You please. I love You more. Amen.

Drinking Wine And Strong Drinks

If you are among such people that are known for drinking wine and other strong alcoholic drinks, then beware for your soul, for it is at stake.

Colossians 1:19,20

Colossians 1:19,20 (KJV)
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Today’s Prayer (11/26/2018)

Oh Lord, may the importance of true faith be in the heart of every Christian. I know that in the day we live in that works have been downplayed as faith is elevated. Where faith plus works should be taught, it is not. I pray that people will re-read what You have said about believing in You and then doing greater works. I know that You have done so many great things in my life and I give You all the glory. Your servant James also spoke about faith plus works, but his words are also set aside and not realized. Lord, this leaves us with so many empty people in this world. Without Your works inside of us, we are truly dead. Without Your fruits, we are not serving You but our own will. I pray that You will prick people’s hearts that they will repent and trust in You, Jesus, starting today. May there be a change of heart and soul take place. May their faith be revived, that You may start working through them. I know that You have so many great things to do inside of us, if we but listen to the Holy Spirit. If our hearts were just open, You could do so much good in our lives. We need You Lord. Our faith is dead without You. I trust in You God. I love You. Amen.

Faith Plus Works

It is God that would move us to love one another as He loves us. Without such love in our lives, there Is no true faith.

James 2:14-17

James 2:14-17 (KJV)
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

John 14:12,13

John 14:12,13 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Hebrews 13:5,6

Hebrews 13:5,6 (KJV)
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Psalm 25:4,5

Psalm 25:4,5 (KJV)
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

New Font Resizer Option

After many requests for adding a “Font Resizer” option to the “Daily Christian Devotionals” site, I decided to take some time away from my day and add the feature.

Isaiah 4:2,3

Isaiah 4:2,3 (KJV)
2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

Today’s Prayer (11/24/2018)

Oh Lord, I pray for those that are in bondage. May they humble themselves and be delivered this day. Help these dear people understand that Your freedom is the only way to get out of bad situations in life. I fear for their souls, that they will not realize this until it is too late. Without You, there is no peace but fear. We can find joy for a time but nothing lasts unless You are involved. It is not worth being fulfilled with the things of this world when none of it will save our souls from hell. So I pray that every person that is in the bondage of sin and death that they find refuge in Your love. May they experience true joy. People may think they have it good now but that notion will soon change when death comes and they are left in the bondage of hell. Only You can save us, Jesus. Fill us all with Your love. I pray for humility to enter every heart that they will be open to Your presence, Lord. May they come unto You with open arms and find freedom that lasts. There is forgiveness and mercy that comes from You, Jesus. I am so grateful for forgiving me and rescuing me from sin. I am so blessed. You are refuge in the storms. With Your armor in my life, I can overcome all things. You are my hope and my strength. I love You Lord. Amen.
