Be Leary about attending any Bible study where prayer is not emphasized. We never want to be led astray by men and women’s own understanding avoid from God.
Back from my hiking trip. It is has been awesome to be in the woods, these many days. I had a lot of time to think about God and read His Words in the Bible. I am strengthened in the Lord.
I will be away till the end of the week. Please pray for my safety and that God gives me the strength I need.

Matthew 24:13,14 (KJV)
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, I pray that people will start reading the Bible and begin to have sound doctrine come inside their hearts. May they understand your gospel truths and no longer twist them into believing a doctrine of men. I know that salvation is so important and for this, we cannot take it lightly. You have the right to give it and take away. Just as you have the right to add our names to the book of life and then blot our names out. I know that because you are rich in mercy, there is salvation. When we come to You in repentance, I can feel Your compassion. You can see where I am and how far I’ve gone because of the lusts of my flesh. And as I confess my sins openly, there is healing. You hear my cries. I am lost without You Lord and need Your guidance. Thank You for helping me and leading me from temptation. You make my faith stronger. I trust in You Lord. I love You. Amen.
To receive salvation in Christ is to believe, while showing fruits. This can also be through repentance and good works that God does through us.
Luke 5:30-32 (KJV)
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Psalm 9:9,10 (KJV)
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Giving your life to Christ is the beginning of your faith. Don’t stop there but repent often and trust in Jesus./July 15, 2018/
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, we come to You as a sinner, who is in need of a Savior. We admit that we are lost and need Your deliverance. There is nobody that has the power to save us but You. Only through Your blood, can we be cleansed from all sin. Our flesh is weak and easily given over to the lusts of the flesh, but with Your help, we can overcome all things. Temptation can no longer ruin our lives when You are there to build us up. We know that what has pulled us into darkness in the past can be cast out. You can change our appetites and renew our hearts. We ask You to come and transform our lives. Give us a clean heart and mind. Help us to focus on You and Your promises. May our priorities fall in line with Your will. We trust in You God. We come to You today in repentance, for we need Your mercy. It is Your forgiveness that we seek. Thank You for the cross and for taking my sins upon You. You are my Savior. Only You could be so compassionate to us all. There is nothing like Your love. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen.
Please know that Jesus is so willing to help us, when we put forth effort. We must dine with Him, as sinners did when He was on earth.
Genesis 2:23,24 (KJV)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
In Marriage, it is so important that you have a foundation of Christ. Your love will grow with God in your lives./July 14, 2018/
There is nobody that we can trust in, in order to go to heaven, but Jesus Christ alone. Believe in the Lord Jesus for salvation and your destiny is secure./July 14, 2018
Daily Prayer:Lord, please bless every person that is getting married and is married now. Help them grow in their love towards one another. And may they seek Your hand always, that this same love will grow. I know that if we strive to go into our marriage with our own desires and intents, it does not always work out for the best. I have fallen flat on my face, so many times, when I have trusted in my own understanding over You. This all changed, when I fully came to You, Lord, and put You first in my marriage. And now that You are there, my love for You and my wife has increased. I pray that the same thing will happen in more marriages. May couples begin to seek You often in prayer, Bible study and church ministry. May they strive to do Your will, and do this as a couple. Love in marriage can grow dim but with You at the head, it can continue to stay lighted up and vibrant for the rest of our lives. There is something special when Your love is showcased in my marriage and I want more of it. Thank You for coming into my marriage and rejuvenating it. I needed it Lord. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
I remember when I first kissed my wife, for I was on cloud nine. Immediately, my heart was full of love towards my future wife.

Ephesians 5:6-8 (KJV)

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, help us to not walk in sin but to follow You. Give us the strength to resist temptation and to live inside Your love. We know that we are not able to do Your will without Your hand in our lives. Therefore, we plead for You to send the Holy Spirit to be our guide. Pick us back up when we are down. Lead us back into Your love, when we fall. Break us free from all addiction. Encourage us to read the Bible daily and to pray for answers. I trust in Your Words, for they give me understanding. Help me to always look to You in faith. And as I read the Bible, strengthen my faith more and more, that I may know the truth and become strong to resist every evil situation I am put in. I trust in You for salvation. There is no one else that has the power to save. Therefore, I look to You in faith. Thank You for showing me what is evil and what is good. Now help me to not fall into any of these sins that will keep me out of Your kingdom. I do not wish to have these things in my life. I do not wish to be defiled and become unclean before You. I need Your holiness. I need You every day of my life. I need You Lord. I love You. Amen.
Once we all realize that that sins, mentioned in the Bible, are wrong, it is good to turn from it and repent.
Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Do not involve yourself with Wicca or any form of witchcraft. This is an abomination to God. To mix with this is a ticket to hell./July 12, 2018/
Daily Prayer:Lord, my heart sinks to think of all the people in this world that are partakers of black magic and don’t even realize it. There is so much evil around us and people are so blind to see it. It is so true that people are blinded to what they see on the streets and on TV as being evil. People make things out as good when it is really detestable and an abomination in Your sight. People freely go to magic acts, see fortune tellers, and watch TV with magic in it all the time. Lord, I know that I was among these people for so many years of my life. I also did not see the wrong in all of this. It wasn’t until I found You and started reading Your words in the Bible that my mind was opened to the truth. And Lord, all I know is that I want to be found righteous in Your sight and not wicked. I do not want to be among those in wickedness, including witchcraft. Thank You for freeing me from these things. I was once lost but You found me. You brought me out of the darkness and into Your light. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen.
If you are involved with witchcraft in any way, repent today before it is too late. This can involve giving up watching movies or TV with witchcraft in it.
John 8:56-58 (KJV)
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
As Jesus accepted worship, it is good for us to worship Him also. Cry out and praise the Lord, this day./July 11, 2018/
Daily Prayer:Lord, I lift You up in praise. Yes, You are so good Lord. Thank You so much for dying on the cross. Thank You for paying the price for my sins. I am so honored and blessed because of Your mercy and grace. You are my Savior and all healing is in Your hands. I worship You, my Lord, my God. You are my Lord and my King. Thank You for showing such love for me, though I am a sinner. Thank You for forgiving my sins, though I have strayed from Your love. Your will power is what helps me fight against sin and temptation. It is Your great compassion that welcomes me home when I fall. At your feet Lord, do I fall. I give You the uttermost respect and honor. You are so noble and so willing to forgive. There is no one like You, Jesus. I pray that You will find rest in my soul. Bring me closer to Your love, each and every day. Lead me to all truth. My heart’s desire is to follow You. I trust in You, Lord. My hope is in Your promises. I know You are there and rejoice in Your great Name. I love You. Amen.
Since Jesus and the Father are both considered God, then to worship them both is good. It is good to worship the Father and Jesus, our Lord.
