Luke 6:46-47

Luke 6:46-47 (KJV)
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

James 1:21-22

James 1:21-22 (KJV)
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Today’s Prayer (03/23/2019)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will wake up to live for You, starting today. May they truly desire to live a life that is pleasing in Your sight and no longer walk in sin. May You take them by the hands and lead them out of the darkness and into Your light. I know that there are many people on a road to destruction, where in their eyes, they feel like they are saved. I do not wish these people to die this way and to face the truth of their actions come judgement day. Instead, I wish people would start reading the Bible daily and find time to truly give themselves over to You in prayer. Maybe then will they start seeking You more often and desire to have a relationship with You, God. Then, will they be led by the Spirit and enjoy Your blessings from above. I know that our own works can do nothing good for our future, but Your good works, plus our faith, can move mountains. We can do all things with the Spirit of God in our lives. Nothing is impossible with You Jesus giving us direction. I am truly blessed, Lord, just to know Your will, by reading the Bible daily and through prayer. Your words have helped deepen my walk with You and now I can truly do what You have said. My walk is no longer led by my own hand but by Your works in my life. Thank You for taking me away from my hurtful desires. I was on rocky ground until you firmly placed me on Your rock. Now I am safe and am able to endure in this faith till the end. I am grateful for everything You have done for my life and pray that You will continue to lead me in the ways that are right. I trust in You Lord. I love You. Amen.

A True Christian

Now that we have defined what a true Christian is, I would like you to think to yourself if you are living a life of a Christian.

Jeremiah 23:5,6

Jeremiah 23:5,6 (KJV)
5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.

Acts 24:14,15

Acts 24:14,15 (KJV)
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Today’s Prayer (03/21/2019)

Lord God, we come before You now, in order to learn and mature in the faith. We know Your words in scripture are true and faithful and that they will lead us in the knowledge and ways that are right. Truly, there will be less confusion when it comes to doctrines and beliefs when Your words are implanted upon our hearts. This is when we are taught and truths are made known to us. We are grateful for the Holy Spirit and for teaching us things that are important to our lives and our pathway to heaven. Truly, after death comes the resurrection and my desire is to come before You, being only a just person that I am through Your blood. That because of what You did for me on the cross, my life has been changed. I could never live out a life of faith and honor on my own, apart from You. It is Your power inside of me that moves me to live differently and do things that are pleasing in Your site. May my life honor You. You have given me strength to overcome the temptations of this world and to follow You above all things. Truly, I live my life to give You praise and to love You and my neighbor as myself. It is a great honor to live this way, for it brings me great job and happiness. I pray for all those that are on a path to destruction and are headed to hell. May they not die in their sins and resurrect this way. Instead, open their eyes to their guilt and their need for a Savior. This I pray that they confess their sins openly to You, Jesus, that they may be forgiven and find mercy. Thank You for Your compassion upon me and for all those that call upon Your Name. I love You Lord. Amen.

The Resurrection Of The Dead

In reference to the resurrection of the dead, this was the reason why the Jews were upset with Paul. How interesting this is, since Daniel taught the very same thing that Paul taught concerning this topic.

Today’s Prayer (03/20/2019)

Oh Lord, I pray that we may always make You the king of our lives. And may Your will always come first above all things. This means making time for You in our day, more so than TV and anything else. You deserve our time, for Your building of the kingdom, for our lives are Yours. When I seek You Lord, my thoughts and desires and pure. I am able to think about things that are good and wholesome and I am not led into temptation. Even my desires to serve You is elevated. Truly Your words have made a huge impact in my life and I am so grateful. Your Words are truth and lead me into life. Reading the Bible truly changes me. Thank You Lord. I pray that I may never lose this desire to read and to pray. May the time with You always be more important than anything else in my day. I have wasted too much time watching TV and doing things that will not help me. It has only left my flesh open to temptation and sin. And for this I am sorry. So convict me if I am ever in the wrong, that I may repent and turn from it, right away. Your ways lead to life eternal and I’d rather walk in Your ways instead of my own. No TV show is more important than what You can teach me in Your Word and in prayer. I need You every hour Lord. You are my Savior and my guide. Lead me every day of my life. I trust in You and love You so much Lord. In Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.

TV Time Or Time With God

If you were to give your time to God and lay off all that TV watching, then you would be more inclined to read the Bible, pray and do the will of God.

Philippians 4:6-8

Philippians 4:6-8 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Isaiah 1:16-18

Isaiah 1:16-18 (KJV)
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Today’s Prayer (03/19/2019)

I am sorry Jesus for my sins. You are my Lord and I can see how far I have strayed from You now. My life is a mess without You. I know that hell is my destination if I do not repent and put my trust in You today. Truly, I need You today and forever to help me through life. I know that You are God and mercy and forgiveness is in Your hands. I just ask that have compassion upon me now, for I know that I am guilty for what I have done and am so sorry. I know that I have walked astray and apart from Your love for way to long and wish to truly change things starting today. I wish to get on the right path and no longer walk in darkness. I cannot break free from my addictions on my own and need a Savior. Not just a person that can give me temporary satisfaction but someone that will never leave me nor forsake me. This I know is You, Jesus. For this reason, I come and surrender all my heart, mind and soul to You. May your blood cover me. Cleanse me of all my sins and take every evil thought captive. Help me start a new in Your light. Today I wish that You would accept me into Your presence and never leave my side. I surrender everything to You now. You are my God and I will walk in Your ways. Teach me to love the commandments, that I might better serve you. Breathe upon me the Holy Spirit, that I may live according to Your will. You have my heart, and I will trust in Your guidance. May I never stop reading the Bible and always hold it up as your holy words. I love You Lord. Amen.

An Altar Call

I am sorry Jesus for my sins. You are my Lord and I can see how far I have strayed from You now. My life is a mess without You.

Acts 23:10-12

Acts 23:10-12 (KJV)
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

Today’s Prayer (03/18/2019)

Oh Lord, I pray that Your peace will come over us and bear us up when trials hit our lives. We know that in this life, we will all go through good and bad times. I just pray that in these bad times that You will comfort us and give us the strength to carry on. I no longer wish to go through these difficult times on my own. I know how these hard times have hurt me and made me feel, and I never want to go through that pain again. In trusting in myself there is only pain, remorse, depression and guilt. It is hard to escape these feelings. These types of feelings can really do some damage to my soul and put me in a very dark place in life. However, when I trust in You, God, there is only peace, comfort, strength, love, and so much light. We are led out of these trying times and led on a new path. It is so awesome to transfer my burdens upon Your shoulders. This way I no longer have to bear the difficulties of a job loss, financial issues, or death in the family on my own. It is because You have my hand and are ready to lift me up on Your shoulders that I can carry on. In doing this, You are able to lead me to people in the faith that are able to care for me and help lift my burdens. I know this to be true, for in my recent job loss, You never left my side. In prayer, You led me to friends in the faith that really came through for me. Now I am in a really good place in my life. This is all You had a hand it. Things would be very difficult now if You had not stepped in and helped through it. I love You Lord. I trust in You above all things. Thank You for helping me. Amen.

Trials In Life

Paul surely was a man of God who loved the Lord, even if it meant great persecution would be in his path or his own death.

Isaiah 58:9-11

Isaiah 58:9-11 (KJV)
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Today’s Prayer (03/17/2019)

Lord God, You are the supplier of all things good in this life. Everything I have ever wanted, apart from you, has never lasted. Only Your love is able to sustain me and lift me up during hard times. There is shelter from the storms with You in my life. All my fears are gone and my worries are over. It is because You fill me up with goodness and grace that I am safe. My eyes are opened and I can see the path I should go. The Spirit has led me into things that are pleasing to the soul. My flesh is deceiving and never wants true happiness in my life, only temporary satisfaction that never lasts. This is the type of lifestyle that only brings heartache and regret. All things evil comes into my life when I rely on myself and not in You, God. Things get confusing until I am humble enough to trust in You again and not upon myself and others. In the past, it was tough to look outside myself and other things that seem to help me, but now I know that every time I seek You, all things make sense. I understand where I am at in life, after coming to You in prayer. Now I realize what I truly need and that is Your love in my life. I had been seeking it all my life, but only found dead ends in so many wrong places. This has led me to give my life to You, my one true Savior. Where everyone else has deceived me at different times, You have never let me down. Continually, do you supply the blessings from heaven upon me. Your armor leads me from temptation and into Your glorious light. Thank You for Your protection and for never letting me down. I am forever Yours. I love You Lord. Amen.

The Lord Sustains My Life

Surely with the Lord God in my life, my future is secure. All my burdens are lifted. Where there was hunger, He gave me bread to eat.
