Lead Us Not Into Temptation

by

Jesus explained what it takes to follow Him. He said, “he that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.”

James 1:12-15

by

James 1:12-15 (KJV)
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

John 12:34-36

by

John 12:34-36 (KJV)
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Isaiah 10:1,2

by

Isaiah 10:1,2 (KJV)
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

Today’s Prayer (01/11/2019)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, our God. I know that the day we live in has greatly increased in its wickedness and abominations. Surely, Your judgments are upon the wicked and their evil deeds. So many of our Christian beliefs have been trampled upon because of the society we live in today. Instead of allowing pastors to teach on marriage between husband and wife and against homosexuality, they often are in trouble because of this. And if they do not marry such people, they are put in jail and fined. This brings me so much sadness for their families and what they are going through, for Your cause. Surely, the persecution in China and other countries is great and the people of faith need You to help carry them through it. I know that You also gave a great example of the good Samaritan, but people have also discarded that teaching as well. So the poor, the needy and the homeless are left in dire straits. Their needs are not being met because so-called Christians do not comfort them, but instead walk right past them. Lord, convict such people of their sins. Help them acknowledge that only thinking of themselves is evil and will not be tolerated. It is time, Lord, for people to be accountable to their faith. Cast out every idol out of their lives and instead give them over to showcasing true love towards one another and You. Cut the hypocrisy out of their lives. Help every Christian to stay in line with your teachings and keep the faith, even until the end. I love You. I trust in You, God. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (01/10/2019)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I know that I am very sick now and if you desired it, You would take me home. These pains bring me to tears and sorrow. Not of heartache of not being ready to meet You, for I long to be with You, but because in the flesh I suffer. This body of flesh causes me to feel much sadness and even depression because of my illness. You know it very well, Lord. I have expressed my concerns to You, many times and I know that if it is Your will, that I would be healed already. But it has not been so and therefore, I will live this life as is, with You at the head. Now, if it is my time, then take me Lord. Just please help me not be in so much pain. And help others not to be afflicted because of my sickness. I do not wish others to regret being around me. These are the thoughts I get in my mind Lord and I pray that You will take this sadness and grief and turn it all into gladness and joy. Only You can do this. I am weak, Lord, and need Your strength. Now, in all this, I trust in You. Whatever You would do in my life, I am ready to receive it and will walk in it, till the end of my days. I know that in the past, that I would not be ready if I was to die, but I can say that I am now. Because You have covered me through Your blood and forgiven all my sins, in death, I will run to You and rejoice. Forever, will I worship You, my King. I love You Lord. Amen.

When God Takes Us Home

by

To those people that continue to build up their lives in worldly pleasures. There will be a reckoning with God in judgement, come death.

Luke 12:8-10

by

Luke 12:8-10 (KJV)
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Luke 12:2-5

by

Luke 12:2-5 (KJV)
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Luke 12:16-21

by

Luke 12:16-21 (KJV)
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Listen To The Bible

by

Come and listen to the Bible today. It is so good just to listen to God’s Word when I am at work and driving in my car.

2 Corinthians 2:7-11

by

2 Corinthians 2:7-11 (KJV)
7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Today’s Prayer (01/09/2019)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that people’s hearts will be softened and that they will see a need to truly love their neighbor as themselves and drop every grudge and wall in their lives. I know that this is holding them back from Your forgiveness and mercy. May they not lose out on following You to salvation. So many people have already made up their minds on who they will forgive and who they will not. They have the unforgiven in the back of their minds and their walls are up high. This wall, unfortunately, is blocking themselves from You, Lord. I know this, since I did this same thing for my step dad for many years. I always wondered if I was truly forgiven and then it occurred to me that I had never forgiven my step dad for beating me when I was a kid. These thoughts never left my mind and there was always so much hate and bitterness in my heart for that man. However, their came a day when I saw him in church. And I don’t know exactly what came over me but forgiveness rushed through me and I ran to him, in order to give him a hug. Tears flowed down my face and the words came out, I forgive you. I love you. It was then, Lord that Your love took over in my life. I was set free from all the grudges and walls that I had put up. All the bitterness was swept away and Your love entered into my life like a wild fire. Thank You Lord. I am so grateful for Your mercy. Thank You for Your forgiveness. I now know that everyone needs forgiveness, not only from You but by me. This I know because You have spoken it. I love You Lord, even enough to forgive myself and others. Amen.

Forgive

by

Surely, when God speaks, we ought to pay attention. His counsel is much wiser than our own and is the only way we will be on the right path.

Today’s Prayer (01/08/2019)

by
Daily Prayer:
Lord God, this world is surely in trouble and I pray that You will come into people’s lives and open their eyes before it is too late. I am afraid that the wages of sexual sin and pornography has taken way to many lives down the pit of hell and their souls are in jeopardy. These people have gone down a very dark road and there is no light in sight. Will you wake as many people up today that will listen to You. Help them know that looking at such things is not worth it. That the pleasures of the flesh is not worth losing our salvation over. I know that only You could pull me out of this addiction and I pray that as people submit their lives to You, today, that You will cleanse their wicked hearts also. May all the darkness be scattered and Your light enter them. They may not have the power to resist temptation right now, but You can build them up, Lord. You can give them the armor to fight against sin and no longer walk in it. You have done this for me and I am set free. You have given me freedom from the bondage that I was under. Satan had a hold of me, but You were able to cut those chains lose. Thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness. I did not deserve it but You extended it to me anyways. How gracious You are, my God. My hope is in You, Jesus. You are my rock and my firm foundation. I can do no evil with You in my life. I love You. Amen.

Porn

by

To better understand the gravity of this situation, for every porn watcher, we will now look to what Paul said about this matter.

Isaiah 9:15,16

by

Isaiah 9:15,16 (KJV)
15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

Today’s Prayer (01/07/2019)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that there will be an awakening for every Mormon. May more and more people in that false religion be reached with the true gospel. This I know that their eyes will be opened. In their humility, will they see the importance of Your Words, in the Bible, and cling to You, above all else. Then will they finally quit following their prophet, who only lies and deceives people, and follow You, Jesus. This is when their souls will be truly awakened to Your truths. I pray that these people will give into You and the Holy Spirit, when they are taught. As Your messenger, I can only relay Your teachings to them and if they are willing, then they will truly be taught by the Spirit. I know that Your wrath is poured out upon them now, but there is still hope. Your arms are extended towards them all the day long, and if they would just repent and leave the church today, they’d find mercy. I know that it will take a lot of prayers, visiting with them and just caring for their needs, before this change will occur for most. But Lord, I will go the distance. I will do as You have called me and find the lost and bring them unto You. I just pray that more people will join in with me in Your cause. I know that Mormons can still be saved and go to heaven, I just pray that many more will and not have to go to hell. It hurts me badly to think that a lot of my family is tied up in that church. Help them Lord. May they come out of it and to You, in Your Holy Name. I trust in You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
