Romans 4:23-25 (KJV)
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Today’s Prayer (03/07/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will grow more and more in Your righteousness and holiness. Help us to shine Your light before people, that there will be more salvations. Even in our small communities, towns, or cities, help us gain the motivation and confidence to usher into the world Your gospel of hope. People need to realize that we have all sinned before You God. Nothing we have ever done is hidden before Your sight. Surely, our lives are an open book to a just and holy God, of whom I worship and give praise and honor. Yes, Lord, I worship You with all my heart, mind, and strength. There is nothing I’d rather have than Your presence in my life. I have so much more that is of worth when You are leading me, than if I was doing things on my own. I have a purpose, for I am a part of Your kingdom. Thank You, God. I give You thanks also for Your laws, of which the Holy Spirit helps me obey. Your teachings, God, are what motivates me to live each day and hour for Your cause. I am able to not lose focus, especially when I continue in Your Word daily and stay in constant prayer. Lord, thank You for Your forgiveness and grace. You died to save a wretch like me and billions of others in this world. We are not worthy of Your great love for us, but when we do come unto You, there is a restitution for all our sins. Thank You for no longer looking at them or keeping me guilty. I love You, God. Amen.
Romans 3:23-26
Romans 3:23-26 (KJV)
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Today’s Prayer (03/06/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that You will help us make the best decisions possible. And help us know when we have slipped up and done the wrong things. I know that I need to know at all times and in all places if I am doing right or wrong. If I am ever sinning against You, please bring it to my attention immediately. May that guilt hit me like a rock, that I might repent and get right with You as soon as possible. You are the way to eternal life, Jesus, and I need Your continued guidance and direction for my life daily. Even every hour, I pray that I will be guided by Your righteous and merciful hand and not my own. May You do Your will in my life. Keep me on Your path that leads to heaven. And if there is anything I need to change in my life now, help me know what those things are. Even if I need to apologize to somebody who I hurt through selfish ambitions, give me the courage to say sorry and ask for forgiveness. It is my prayer that You will build me up in Your armor. Help me to not do things that the enemy is happy about. Even if the flesh is fulfilled in the moment, it is not worth sinning against You, God. So what I am asking for is that You will lead me this day and forever. I know that if I fall into sin, it is not Your fault, but my own. I made that choice to walk away from the truth and instead obey unrighteousness instead. But Lord, know my heart, and that it is to not do such wicked things. I am truly sorry if I have hurt You in anything I have done. I do not wish to grieve the Holy Spirit but to make You happy in all things. You are my God and I am Yours. I give You praise and honor. I love You. Amen.
Romans 2:1-4
Romans 2:1-4 (KJV)
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Today’s Prayer (03/05/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will wake up to follow You. Too many people are on the verge of going astray, and their own good works are not going to help them. It is only when we give in to the Holy Spirit and walk in Your ways can we be rescued from the darkness that has us bound. Surely, God, many people cannot even see that they are in the clutches of the enemy until they finally give into confessing their sins to You. It is at this point that people can see the wretch they have become and repent. Lord, before I found You I was a wretch also. I may have appeared to be good on the outside, but that meant nothing at all. Inside, sins abounded. Even did pornography rain supreme in my mortal body. I had no way to stop this addiction, for it kept me captive. In secret did I do things that I knew were wrong. And this continued for years. You know the bondage I was under. No matter what I tried, nothing worked. I grew more and more distant to the things of God and even got very addicted to shoot’em up games at the same time. And then I remembered something important. I would never be able to stop doing things that were sinful unless I put my trust in You. Then, could You come and transform my life. So one night that I will never forget, I fell down on my knees and cried out to You in all my confessions. Tears were streaming down my face and it did not stop when I went into bed. I needed Your comfort, and before I went to sleep Your arms of mercy came over me. Wow! Thank You, God. It was at that moment that I knew that You were real. I began to trust in You like never before and overtime You kicked out of my wicked heart every evil imagination that came from these games and porn. You did it, Lord! You saved a wretch like me. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
Romans 1:16-18
Romans 1:16-18 (KJV)
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I will share God’s truths with anybody who has an ear to hear.
Today’s Prayer (03/04/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to have ears to hear You. And not just that, that their eyes will be open to see You, God. I know that You are looking for individuals who are fully open to know and do Your will. This starts with an open heart to learn. But Lord, I pray that we will not get mixed up in false religions because our heart is too open to things that may not be true. Some things do look really good on paper, but when reading the Bible I can always know if these things are just hearsay or true. Your Words do speak and that is because the Holy Spirit is with us now. You left us the great gift of all and that is the Comforter. Because the Spirit is able to abide in us, we are led into all truth and can understand things from above. This is my desire, Lord, to know of Your will for my life now and in the future. Help me to not fall victim to things I’ve done in the past that were sinful. I know now what it does to a person who continues to do the same sinful things and then justify it later. This might be good for the flesh in the moment but is terrible afterwards. The guilt and shame that comes from willful sin is the worst feeling ever. I know that the enemy doesn’t even want me to keep trying to do better afterward, but I rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus. Yes, God, if I do fall, I will run back into Your arms. Forgive me of all my sins Lord and give me understanding. I love You, God. You are my God and my King, and I worship You. Amen.
Acts 28:21-24
Acts 28:21-24 (KJV)
21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Today’s Prayer (03/03/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will come to You at all times and in all places, no matter the season in our lives. When things are not going well it is easy to look at the bad things in life and become very discouraged. Surely, this is what the enemy wants us to be thinking. He doesn’t wish us to be full of cheer, while in Your presence. Instead, he wishes that the storms of life will continue to beat us down. But Lord, I trust that You are still our deliver. I know that You can do all things in my life and others of whom I pray for. What we need are more believers coming together in prayer and fellowship. Then, would You be able to move in more people’s lives at once. Church is one thing, but seeking Your hand throughout the week is another. Lord, I am lost without You, but am encouraged and full of life when You are with me. I love it when I am at a brother and sister’s house in the faith and we are praying, reading the Bible, and/or breaking bread together. My heart is always racing in these moments, and I come out of it so alive in You, Jesus. It makes me want more of You and less of me each time. Lord, there are things that I could be doing better. That I could be removing more things that are of the world, of which are holding me back still. And so I give it to You now, knowing that You will replace these things with blessings and wisdom from heaven. Yes, God, I no longer seek what is earthly, but what is in heaven. May Your hand of mercy be more than visible in my life and others that I reach for Your kingdom. I love You, Lord. You are my God, Jesus, and I worship You. Amen.
Acts 27:33-36
Acts 27:33-36 (KJV)
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

Today’s Prayer (03/02/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will understand how much they are needed in Your kingdom. There is so much work to be done, but only a few workers in Your harvest. If people would simply submit their lives to follow You, then they would learn how valuable it is to do Your will. They would let go of anything that is holding them back and come running to You, Jesus, in prayer. It would be game over to the things they used to do that was sinful, and submit to do Your will instead. Surely, giving up things for Your cause is the best thing I have ever done. I am so much better off now than I ever was in the past. My faith is secure in Your grace. Therefore, I walk this earth with a clear conscience and no shame or guilt holding me back. You have wiped it all clean, Lord. Thank You, God. It is my desire to walk in Your abundant light this day and forever. Be there by my side and never let me go, God. I am Yours. As I speak, allow Your words to flow through me. I love the gospel truths of the cross and the resurrection, but love it even more when people hear it and are moved by what You have done, Jesus. I wish that people would understand what it means to proclaim the good news, but they will have to do it themselves to see what it is truly like. It isn’t nerve-racking at all as some may think, but oh so calming and peaceful. Surely, You make everything so much easier to perform when Your presence is near. Thank You, God, for everything You do in me and through me. I will light the way for all to see. I love You more than anything else. I praise Your great Name, Jesus. Amen.
Acts 26:19-21
Acts 26:19-21 (KJV)
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

Today’s Prayer (03/01/2021)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will follow You no matter the cost. That they will declare Your Name, Jesus, wherever they go. There is so much darkness in this world, but light can still come, in order to overthrow it. I wish people could have a heart for evangelism, but I know that I cannot cause anyone to become this way, but trust that You will continue to call Your disciples, in order to truly serve You. What a blessing it will be when they finally get on their two feet and see the fruits of the Your salvation. I have seen it in Boise and Utah, as I have witnessed for Jesus with others, especially with Patrick Roy, my good friend in the faith. You have been with me these last five years. Thank You, Lord, for leading me in the harvest, no matter the cost. Many seeds have been planted and I have seen so much fruit. One experience I will never forget is the day that I saw a man hold up a Bible, while on the streets, of whom I gave to him a few months back and say, “Paul, look what I have in my hands. Thank You so much for stopping that day and sharing the gospel with me. I have not stopped reading the Bible since. It has changed my life.” Praise be to God. I pray for more encounters like this, and I know I can if I continue to trust in You, God, it will happen. You are able to open my mouth today like in the past. I trust in Your hands of mercy and miracles for my life and others. You are the great God of the heavens and I will never stop doing Your will for mankind. I give You praise and honor, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Acts 25:4-6
Acts 25:4-6 (KJV)
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
