Make a decision to believe in and learn of the Lord God who saves. It would be very unwise of you to live out your entire life, having lived against the words of God.
Proverbs 22:11,12 (KJV)
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
Proverbs 22:9 (KJV)
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Proverbs 22:4-6 (KJV)
4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Those that are humble are taught by the Lord. There open heart to Him allows God to come in and do His will in their lives.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, help us all become a true follower of You. May our belief in You speak volumes about what we say and do for You in this life. Let Your light so shine upon us that we may be examples of those in the faith. We are open to receive the Holy Spirit and to be led by You in all things. Use us for Your greater good. Change our lives and lead us from temptation. Help us seek what is greater in this life, which is Your love, and leave the world behind. May we stop lifting ourselves up but lift You up before men. It is greater to make a name for You, God, then to make a name for ourselves. I pray that we are right in Your presence above what the world thinks. The wicked people in this world can make fun and persecute us in the faith but my trust in You will never fail. You are the rock of my salvation. Where shall I go but to You for answers. You are Savior and dearest friend. When I pray and read Your Words in the Bible, I am safe. You give me strength to endure all things. Thank You for being there for me Lord. I believe in You. I trust in You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
In this life, God is able to use us for His good. Even as parents, we are able to help raise up children that love the Lord.

28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

Proverbs 21:21 (KJV)

Nobody can bear us up like Christ does. Nobody could be so compassionate and loving as Jesus. His mercy endures forever.
True life begins when a person gives there life to Christ. His mercy is upon them and are given over unto a life of righteousness.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, thank You for showing such compassion towards us as sinners. Thank You for taking us in, when there was only hopelessness. You heard our cries and had mercy for our souls. Your light has come and scattered all the darkness. Every bit of shame is cast out. You have changed the atmosphere. Now there is love, joy and happiness. My troubles are long gone for You have come into my life. I am alive because of You, Jesus. You have come and resurrected me and breathed into my soul new life. It is You, Lord, that has given me new desires in life. Because my thoughts are Your thoughts, I come to You daily, that they may be holy. That what I say may be wholesome and considerate to everyone. That temptation may flee by Your hand and that my shield of faith may be raised all the day long. Yes, I am strong with You in my life. I am able to bear all things for You strengthen me. Thank You for Your forgiveness and this new life that You have given me. I am alive through Your blood. I owe all to You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Those in Christ Jesus are continually thinking about their actions and how they can serve Christ. The Lord is in their minds often.
Galatians 3:26,27 (KJV)
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
If you believe in Jesus and have not been baptized, why not commit do so today? This shows your commitment to Christ.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, I pray that people in the faith will be convicted of their sins and repent. May this conviction to follow You, lead them to the waters of baptism. So many people rely on their faith alone for salvation. However, what they do not realize is that faith without works is dead. To live their life alone, without You, is no salvation at all. I am so grateful for baptism. That is the time that You did come into my life and made me alive. I was dead but was crucified with You, at the cross, Jesus. Then, as I come out of the water, You give me newness of life. This was my new beginning and I am so grateful for this opportunity to have You in my life now. I was so lost in this world without You. In baptism, You have set a fire in my soul to serve You, my King. Where there was so much darkness in my life, You have scattered it and ushered in Your light. Where there was shame and guilt, You’ve replaced it with Your love. I no longer serve the lusts of the flesh but fight it with You, Jesus, in my life. You are my shield and my fortress. I am made strong with You by my side. Thank You for coming into my life, through baptism. I needed You and You came. Thank You so much, dear Lord. I believe in You. I trust in You. You are my joy. I love You. Amen.
Paul’s explanation of baptism should help you all understand the important of this event and why everyone in the faith does it.

28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Come and move inside of us Lord. Breathe on us the Holy Spirit. Our hearts are Yours. Lead us in the way of righteousness.
Follow Jesus and not man. Lift up the Lord God in prayer and worship. Give Him thanks and bless His holy Name. For He is mighty to save.
Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, we praise You. Through the storms of life, You have come through. You have heard our cries and shown us great mercy. Nothing is like Your compassion. Nothing is like Your kindness and love. Your compassion has pierced through every bit of shame and raised me up into newness of life. Your love has broken every chain and brought me into Your light. I made new through Your blood. What was once sadness has been replaced with gladness. All my fears are gone, for You have come to my rescue. I am safe in Your arms. Nothing can lead me away from Your love. You have made me confident in my faith. My zeal to follow You increases day by day. The day that You forgave my sins, a fire was lit in my soul to serve You, my King. It is an honor to walk with You, my Lord. You are all mighty to save. All blessings and honor to Your holy Name. All the praises to You, my God. I lift You up higher than all things. My heart sings out to You, my Savior and friend. I rejoice in the Messiah, that has come, to save us all from our sins. I love You. Amen.
Let it be my witness that God is almighty and willing to save us as sinners. He is all merciful and kind. “I called upon the Lord in distress” and “the Lord answered me.”
Always remember Jesus. Keep Him in your heart each day. Seek Him often and His love will come and light up your life.

Daily Prayer:Oh Lord, please help more people realize the things that they are doing wrong, that they may repent before they die. I pray that more people will be saved in the day of judgement. Help those in the faith find these people and be faithful in sharing the gospel with them. In so doing, may they love on these people, as You love us so much. May we share the same love with our neighbor as You have shown towards us. We desire to live inside Your will, Lord. Convict every person that is far from You to repentance, including us. Lead us from every form of darkness that we may be encompassed in Your light. If there is someone that is need, lead us to them. Help us carry their burdens as You carry ours. Help us no longer pass by people on the streets that are struggling but stop and care for them. If it is by money, food, giving them a place to stay, praying for them, or whatever it may be, help us know how to properly care for their needs. We long to live for You and no longer for this world. Make us wise in Your presence. Give us counsel and lead us by Your hand. You are our deliverer and we trust in You, Jesus. We believe in You Lord. We love You. Amen.
Every person that neglects their opportunity to repent is wicked. They will be judged and be found guilty.
Till the end of time, does the Lord God extend out His matchless arms of mercy to receive us as sinners. His love is for all.
