John 7:37-39

John 7:37-39 (KJV)
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

John 7:18

John 7:18 (KJV)

John 7:4

Luke 24:30-32

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Today’s Prayer (02/21/2019)

Oh Lord, reading Your words brings me so much strength. I am so blessed to read the Bible and understand it through the Spirit. It is because You abide in me, that everything is made clear and I know the way. Thank You for coming into my life and helping me see the truth of all things. You have lifted the veil off my face and I can see You for who You really are. You are my God and I love You. It is awesome to fall down and worship You, my King. Truly, my heart burns within me and my heart is set on fire for You, Lord. I can do all things, for You give me strength. You are alive and working inside of me. It is a true blessing to have You come into my life and for me to be Your witness. I did not deserve the love and mercy that You have demonstrated towards me. Just like the two men that You talked with, on the road to Emmaus, I also was blinded to Your great love for me for many years, until I finally decided to have You abide with me. This is when became real and everything changed. You became more than just a man but my personal Savior and Lord God of all. Thank You for making Your presence known to me. I simply called out Your name and You answered my prayers. Now, your words are a lump unto my feet. Truly, Lord, Your love is never ending and never fails us. I have failed You so many times, but You have never given up on me. Thank You continuing to forgive me and to lift me up. It is truly a blessing to know that I am loved by You. I love You so much Lord. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

The Road To Emmaus

Three days after Jesus’s death, there were two men walking to the village Emmaus. This is when Jesus appeared to them.

Luke 20:35,36

Luke 20:35,36 (KJV)
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Today’s Prayer (02/20/2019)

Oh Lord, I am grateful just to know You and to know that I am led by the one true God who saves. There is no more questioning things and wondering what is right and what is wrong any more. It is because I stand firm upon Your Word, in the Bible, that I have direction. I know how deceived people can get, if they stop reading Your words, and instead trust in man-made teachings over Yours. When this happens, the veil of darkness goes over people’s faces, and truth is unable to be scene. This is when a person begins to trust in their prophet or what their pastor, bishop or priest is saying, instead of going to the source of truth. I say these things, Lord, because I was a victim to this for many years, while in the Mormon faith. Instead of confiding in Your teachings, that are written in scripture, my thoughts and desires were elsewhere. And what is sad is that I would bear my testimony of the things I knew, in order to have true Christians stop trying to teach me. It was me blocking them out, when You were only trying to use these messengers to convict me of my sins. I was so lost and could not even see it. Now Lord, I am so grateful that You never gave up on me. It took time, but finally I found the answers in the Bible and through prayer. The veil has been lifted and I am set on the right path. Thank You Lord. I am made new through Your mercy and grace. I love You. Amen.

Luke 13:23,24

Luke 13:23,24 (KJV)
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

Today’s Prayer (02/19/2019)

Oh Lord, I pray that every person that calls themselves a Christian, will truly mean it. May it not just be something that people say they are when questioned, but something they mean in their hearts. I have heard and seen way to many professing Christians, when truly their hearts were far from You. Instead of seeking Your hand, they have sought after things that only fulfill the lusts of the flesh and do not please You in any way. What the world has offered them, this is what they have sought after, instead of finding time in Your Word and in prayer. These people are the majority of everyone around us and I am saddened to know this. For this, I desire that each person has an awakening in their lives and are set back on the path of salvation. Unfortunately, this is not happening. So I pray for more witnesses. That more people will be willing to go out in the harvest and find the lost. Then, when we find those that have been led astray, that through Your love, we might lead them back in. I also pray for every pastor. Please help them understand the importance of reaching every person in the audience. Because most of them are not living a life for Christ, they need to be called out. So I pray, God, that the important messages of sin and repentance is taught and that these people are convicted to a point of confessing their sins to you. This I know that salvation will come to them, because of Your mercy. I love You Lord and say these things in Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.

Today’s Inspiration #3 (02/19/2019)

Earlier today I was able to help reignite a friend’s faith and walk with Christ. Through much love, I was able to search her heart and lead her back to following the Lord again, through the Bible and prayer. In all this, I give all the glory to Jesus. If I had not been seeking His hand, this wonderful opportunity to witness His truths would have never happened. Thank You Lord.

Are You A True Christian?

It is clear that when Jesus says our whole body is in darkness, if He is not a part of it, that this should mean something to us.

Matthew 17:19-21

Matthew 17:19-21 (KJV)
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Luke 4:4-6

Luke 4:4-6 (KJV)
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Today’s Prayer (02/18/2019)

Lord God, please help us all have a greater desire to commune with You in prayer. May this become a heartfelt thing and not just something we do as a religious ritual. Only by having a real relationship with you, may we truly understand Your will and be drawn to do things that are extraordinary in Your sight. And God, help every Christian understand the need to fast. You were the greatest example of this act and did so for forty days. This, You did, that we may understand the need to fast. You also taught that some demons can only be cast out through prayer and fasting. And as everyone in the faith ought to be ready to fight off the demonic forces, we ought to also fast when needed. And God, You will help us know when this is necessary. Whenever the Holy Spirit is not present, I know that it is important to give you everything, including anything that is holding us back. And often times this takes a lot out of us to change in this way. That is why I am so grateful for fasting and to know that You are working through us in those moments to change us from the inside out. That way, when we come out of our fast, our Spiritual life is renewed and we are made alive again. I know that You have the power to save us all, if we just give ourselves over to You. This I know, as my life has been changed in these moments of fasting. Even many miracles have come of it. I love You Jesus. And I say these things in thy Holy Name. Amen.

Prayer And Fasting

Like Jesus did, we can say, “get thee behind me, Satan”. These are not just words, but come with power and authority from God.

James 5:16

James 5:16 (KJV)
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Isaiah 59:7

Isaiah 59:7 (KJV)
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
