Hebrews 2:10-13 (KJV)
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Jesus suffered for our sins on the cross that we might be sanctified through His blood. Those that receive Him are washed clean and forgiven.
The Cross Of Jesus
The salvation of the Lord Jesus came through the cross and His resurrection. We have forgiveness for sins, as we call upon His Name and put our trust in Jesus.
Today’s Prayer (05/14/2019)
Lord, I pray that people of Your church will not deny You, but follow in Your ways. Help them see in themselves the sinner they are and confess those sins to You today. I pray that nothing will be held back, but everything will come out in the open. For every person that these people have hurt, may their soul lead them to do whatever it takes to heal the broken relationships it has caused. I know there are so many evils in this world and unfortunately, if people do not wake up to their sins, they will not be with You in heaven. So please come and wake every wicked person up that says that they are a Christian to live like that. May they understand that alcohol and drugs is deterring themselves from being sober and being led by the Holy Spirit. Also, help them flee from sexual immorality, which includes pornography and any other sexual sin, which defiles the body and Your holy temple. These things will only destroy a person and leave them in hell, if repentance is not given to You, Lord. I know this to be true, for I was a victim of these things, until You came into my life and cleansed me of my sins. I had no way out of the bondage and addictions that held me down, but You gave me a way to escape it. I now know that anyone can be changed because of what You did for me. Your blood has forgiven my sins and I pray that many others will also be washed clean as well. I pray for these lost souls, Lord. I pray that before time is up, that they will decide to give themselves to You fully. I love You Lord. Amen.

Be Sober And Flee Sexual Immorality

Today’s Prayer (05/13/2019)
Lord God, I pray that our desires will be for You each day. Fill us with Your counsel, that we may know what is right and what wrong. And point us to always choose to do Your will and run from any form of ungodliness and sin. Give us wisdom and direct us in the ways that we ought to go. Be with us always, that we may not fall victim to the sins of this world. I know that I am stronger with Your presence in my life. As we have faith in You, Lord, may it be a shield to fight against Satan and his temptations. I know the shame that comes from the bondage of sin and I am so grateful to have You lifted it off of my shoulders. I was once in darkness and You have come and raised me into Your light. Where I was once alone in this world, You have given unto me the gift of the Holy Spirit. Now my soul is comforted and I have eyes to see. All the fear that was in me is gone. That is because You have done a mighty work inside of me. What a wonderful time it is to be in Your presence and to learn of You each day. As I come unto You, I want more and more of You and less of me. May You always abide in my heart, that I might walk worthily in Your sight. It is my greatest desire to do Your will above all else, for Your ways lead to life eternal. Your gospel is truly sweet to my ears and I can never learn enough, when it comes to Your ways. May my eyes and ears always be open to learn more each day. I love You Lord. Amen.
2 Timothy 1:7,8
2 Timothy 1:7,8 (KJV)
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Today’s Prayer (05/12/2019)
Oh Lord, thank You for my beautiful mothers and wife of our two daughters. I am so blessed to have these women in my life. I cherish every moment I have to be with them and to be in their presence as it is awesome to be in Yours. As I honor You Lord, I also honor my parents and this day give the respect that my mothers and my wife deserves. Because it is Mother’s Day, I give my attention to everything they have done and continue to do for me now. There is so much love and compassion in their hearts and I know that this can only come from You, God. It is so amazing to have knowledge of You and Your sacrifice for mankind on the cross, since I was a child. Those days I had with my parents, while reading the Bible, I will never forget. It was not their faith that was instilled in me but Your Words did the convicting that I needed to follow You, Lord. My wife is also a great example of being selfless and loving to me no matter what. She’s been through a lot, but has never lost hope in me, like You haven’t Lord. I know that You instilled this kind of love in her. And now that my birth mom is in assisted living, I want to be with her more and more. I can’t wait till our next visit. It is always a blessing to be with her and my stepmother. Lastly Lord, how blessed I am to have Elizabeth as my wife and mother of my kids. I love our time together and I know You prepared us to meet since the beginning of time. May we both never lose hope in Your promises Lord and to continue to walk in faith together. Amen.

Proverbs 23:22-25
Proverbs 23:22-25 (KJV)
22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
Today’s Prayer (05/11/2019)
I pray Lord that more people will learn to love You and to follow in Your ways. May the younger generation especially resist temptation and not give into porn, sex, drugs and alcohol. Porn can truly deter a person from a relationship with You and a relationship with their future spouse. Pornography and fornication is an abomination in Your sight and it is sad to see so many people into such filth. Sexual thoughts for another person and having sex before marriage is never right, but certainly wrong and I pray that people will wake up to this before it is too late. This sinful lifestyle, while adding drinking and doing drugs is only following Satan, which leads to death. I know that this type of lifestyle will keep people from either not marrying or marrying for the wrong reasons. So I pray Lord that people will confess their sins and give their whole hearts to You, starting today. This will change everything. Thank You for Lord for leading me to my spouse and for her being a good example to me in the faith. This has truly steered me in the right direction and to look to You in the faith. Now I am forgiven by Your blood and can walk in faith and not by the vile passions of the flesh. I love You and trust in You, God. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (05/09/2019)
Oh Lord, my God, I am so grateful to know You better each day. It is truly a blessing to have Your words in the Bible for me to abide in. Every one of us are sinners and need Your law, in order to point us back to You. Truly, it is easy to get lost in this world as evil is made to appear as good and what is good is frowned upon by this generation. If we went by what the average person says, we’d be led astray and not even know You or what is right. This is because their hearts are far from You and Your words are not in their hearts. Instead, their opinions trump what You’ve already taught us in scripture and new doctrines come out that lead people astray. This is so sad to see but also so true. I do not wish people in the faith to be led out and unto false doctrines, but I also cannot convince everyone to search the Bible daily and pray often. This I need the people to do on their own. And I know that the only way that this can happen is if they align themselves with Your Word. Then, will they be led out of darkness and into Your light. And as Your presence comes over them, will they understand the truth and be set free from every false teaching and doctrine of this world. This I pray Lord that people’s hearts will open up to You , understand Your laws, repent of their sins, and abide in them. I know that we are safe when we do what You say. This is true love when we keep Your commandments Lord. I know this to be true for it brings me great joy. I love You so much God. Amen.
1 Timothy 1:8-10
1 Timothy 1:8-10 (KJV)
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Timothy 1:3-5
1 Timothy 1:3-5 (KJV)
3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
