Do What God Loves Not Hates
Now that you know what God hates and of which is an abomination to Him, it is important to respond to Him accordingly.
Today’s Prayer (09/07/2019)
Oh Lord, I want You to know how much I love You. You have been so good to me, as to come to my needs and save me from my sins. I know that I am not perfect, but strive to live in Your righteousness, each day. When I slip into sin, it hurts me so much, that I broke Your laws and have sinned against You. Thank You for hearing prayers in these times and others and having had mercy upon my soul. I wish to always be faithful to You, but I know that the flesh is weak. Therefore, I plead for Your armor to take over my life. Forgive me when I am out of line and draw near unto You again for mercy. I know that You are the Messiah, which came into the world and sacrificed Yourself on the cross. You paid the ultimate price for sins, that we could never accomplish on our own. You freely took upon sin, so that we don’t have to suffer for our sins in judgement. Thank You Lord. Thank You for freeing me my bondage, that I am no longer a slave to sin. Because of You, I have hope for this life and the next. There are still trials I have to face, but as I endure in this faith I know that all things will work out for my good. Lord, I wish that for the remaining days of my life, that I will be a viable witness for You. I wish that people would hear the gospel and come to You for salvation. I know that I am not always the best speaker, but You are able to take my weaknesses and make them strong. Surely, when You take over and start speaking through me, people are taught the truth and also convicted of their sins. May they these people turn from their sins and unto You, oh God. You are our redeemer and I trust in You. I love You Lord. Thank You for everything You do for me and through my life, for the good of others. Amen.
Daniel 9:24-26
Daniel 9:24-26 (KJV)
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

The Prophesy Of The Messiah

Today’s Prayer (09/06/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to call upon Your Name in prayer and actually desire to hear You out when You respond. For surely You do respond to our needs when we call upon Your Name, especially when our hearts are open. It is these moments, that we are broken, is when You can do the most work in our lives. Humility is our key to that relationship with You, that we are missing out on now. I’ve learned, Lord, that seeking You for answers to my problems has been the best help that I’ve ever received for my life. This is because You are all powerful and want the best for my life. For that reason, You have led me out of my bondage of sin and put me on the right path. I am no more inclined to do the things of the flesh, for I know that they are not lawful in Your sight. If anything is abominable to You, I say, let it be abominable to me also. I want Your ways to be my ways and not the opposite. I’ve already experienced what the world has to offer and it is not good at all. I may have had pleasure in things for a time, but because of sin, it always came with regrets and much shame. So thank You for coming into my life and freeing me from my sins and addictions. I am so much happier now. Because You have saved my soul from hell, I have hope and meaning to my life. You died for my sins and now I have forgiveness and mercy for my soul. Your condemnation is not upon me, for You have saved me from my sins. Thank You Lord for helping me know what things I ought to do and stay away from. Truly Your Words in the Bible have become a lamp unto my feet and I cannot get enough of what You’ve said. Speak to my heart daily and lead me in the ways of righteousness. I love You Lord. Amen.
John 3:5-7
John 3:5-7 (KJV)
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

The amount of lost people in this world is growing at an alarming rate, but evangelists to reach them for Christ is limited.
Today’s Inspiration #1 (09/06/2019)
Those that love Jesus, why not get out of your comfort zone and be a witness for Christ. The Lord is waiting to use you.
Obey God’s Call And Follow Him
If you read the Bible, then you know what God hates, and should wish to be released from these things. This could be an addiction to pornography, alcohol, drugs, or a lifestyle like sex outside of marriage.
Today’s Prayer (09/05/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray that more people will be saved, before their own life ends in death. May more people come to know You, Jesus, for salvation. I know that so many people have a good chance at going to heaven, if they would just listen to Your gospel message and receive You. The problem is that people are not willing to give up what is sinful, in order to follow You. So many things are holding people back, Lord, that their priorities are all twisted. Surely, there is life eternal and a place with no more tears or sorrow waiting for those that would believe in You, but their evil deeds are keeping them from You. Oh, how I wish that people could see themselves in the mirror and know how sinful they have really become. Maybe then, would they desire a Savior in their life and seek after You, God, in prayer. In their confessions would they be able to see how good You really are and what they have been missing out on. There is so much joy in this life that people have never discovered and this is because they continue to get help from people and not a higher power for their addictions. They are only giving themselves over to the devil, that he may attack them more and more. What people need is Your shield to protect them and then would they find a way out of sin and temptation. No person is free from sin, until they deny themselves and follow You, Jesus. Only by doing as You have taught us can we find a way out of sin and find true happiness that never ends. We are more than capable to walk in Your holiness and be saved, but people need to be seeking You and giving You a chance to lead them. I trust in You, God. You are my rock, of which I stand on. I love You. Amen.
Matthew 25:31-34
Matthew 25:31-34 (KJV)
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Today’s Inspiration (09/05/2019)
Your faith in Christ is real when it is bearing fruit for Him. When God’s will is being done, then there is belief unto salvation.
Follow Jesus And Do His Will For Salvation
As is taught, come judgement day, people are either going be found innocent or guilty. The one key factor is if people believed in and followed Jesus for salvation.
Matthew 16:24-27
Matthew 16:24-27 (KJV)
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Today’s Prayer (09/04/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray for every person that desires to be saved, but isn’t truly saved yet. Speaking of these so-called Christians, many of them are living outside of Your grace and don’t even realize it. Because their pastors are not teaching upon sin and hell, they have become content with their wicked lifestyle, although it is abominable in Your sight. Surely, people are being misinformed on what sin is and how it will keep them from Your presence. Since their pastors are not teaching them from every part of Your Word, they are getting the truth mixed up in the world. For this reason, they have departed from You, not knowing this. Lord, this is disheartening that pastors are not teaching people about homosexuality, pornography and abortion. Maybe if they did, then people would know that being gay is a sin and how marriage is for husband and wife and that’s it. They would also know that abortion is murder and that killing unborn children is very grievous in Your sight. And people would know that porn is lusting in their hearts for another person, which is adultery. Do they not know that You are holy and our sinful ways will keep us apart from You? So Lord, I pray that You will prick these pastors hearts to repent and desire to teach from and believe in all Your Words in the Bible. I also pray for every person that desires to be saved, but is off course in the world. Give them a desire to read the Bible daily and to pray often. This way, will Your Words convict them of their sins, that they may repent. Then, will they come fully over to You in their confessions. And once Your presence comes upon them, will they see themselves as the sinner and desire to be cleansed. This I know to be true, for Your blood can cover all sin, as it has mine, if people would believe in and trust in You. Truly, when we learn to follow You, that is when we are saved. Thank You for teaching me and showing me the way. I love You more than anything. Your grace is enough for my life. I will follow You unto the ends of the earth. Amen.
Today’s Inspiration (09/04/2019)
If you desire to be saved, then deny yourself and follow Jesus. When you have true faith, God’s works will show through your life.
Are You Saved?
To continue to live in willful sin is telling God that He doesn’t matter and is storing up His wrath for that wicked person’s life.
Today’s Prayer (09/03/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray for those in marriages that are having a hard time. Surely, it is hard to bear the times we have with our spouse when love is absent. We can hardly go one when love is being withheld from the person we thought loved us. And Lord, You know who is struggling with this type of turmoil right now and can help them. May you lift up those that people that are sorrowful and even depressed because of their marriage situation. We cannot carry on without Your love in our lives and it is very hard when love is missing in our marriage. As believers, it is Your love that carry’s us onward and gives us hope. For that reason, we plead for Your continued presence in our lives. We need the Holy Spirit to spark the fire back in our marriage, and that can only come from You. We can try to find joy in other places, but it will never last, unless You are the one that has given it. Even our spouse can find a way to love, when they have not shown it for a few months or years. You are the one that can spark the reason for them to forgive and no longer hold grudges. Every wall can come crumbling down when we simply give our hearts over to You. And Lord, I pray for salvation in the lives of marriages of a unbelieving spouse. Life is hard when Your will is not being realized in a marriage, because of other thoughts and desires of our spouse. But, I know that You can show Yourself to them, that they may see You, as we have, and be saved. No marriage needs to end in a divorce when You have the power to change the atmosphere. It Is Your presence that ushers in the love that is lost. We are restored in a new life with You when we believe. There is also a brand new love relationship with our spouse when we both believe. Your ways are higher and I hope and pray that my wife and children will be saved one day. You are my God and I trust in You. May Your love be fully restored in this marriage and others. I love You Lord. Amen.
1 Corinthians 7:13-15
1 Corinthians 7:13-15 (KJV)
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Today’s Inspiration (09/03/2019)
It takes three people in a marriage to make it work. The husband and wife, plus God. Without the Lord, there will be strife.
Marriage Works When Three People Are Involved
When it comes to our kids, they need to be onboard with obeying both of their parents and not just one. They should not be disobeying what one parent is saying and running to their other parent in disregard to his/her needs.
Today’s Prayer (09/02/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray that Your love will enter my family, my marriage, and my relationship with my children. I know that my life for You is strong, and the same goes for Your love for me, but somehow the love in my marriage is not as alive as it should be. The same can be said for my family and children. And I know that I have a part of this happening and I am sorry. May Your love strengthen me, through these hard times and lift me up. I wish for salvation in the lives of my immediate family, wife and my kids. May they one day know You, Lord, and follow in Your footsteps also. I know that I am not perfect, but only desire to do Your will. If a part of me is lacking and things aren’t going well in my relationships because of what I am doing, make it be known to me. Help me to know what is wrong, that things might get better over time. I just wish that my family would be with me, one day in heaven, after we all pass on in death. For this reason, do I try to point those I love to You, Jesus, ever day of my life. If that is changing what they are watching, and pointing them to a show that is uplifting and speaks of You, that is my desire. So much that is on TV now-a-days is only a trap and a lure to lead us away from Your love. For this reason, I’d rather shut it off all together and read Your Words in the Bible as a family. What You have said in scripture has meaning to my life and gives me hope, while the things on TV are only distractions. I love to spend time with You in Your Words and in prayer and I wish that one day my family would want to join me in worship to You also God. Your love is what keeps me going and I pray that this love will soon take over my family, spouse and children’s lives also. I love You Lord. Amen.
Philippians 4:10-13
Philippians 4:10-13 (KJV)
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Today’s Inspiration (09/02/2019)
Jesus is my first love. He has my heart, my mind, my soul, and my life. He is my shelter in the storm. Oh, how I love You Lord!
God Gives Us The Love That is Missing
Do we have to live a life of sadness while in this life? The answer is no. However, many people do live like this and even cry themselves to sleep at night.
Today’s Prayer (09/01/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray for those people that are suffering right now with depression and suicidal thoughts. I know that many people that I know and love are in despair right now and need You to come inside of their lives, in order to lift them up. Please come to them now and give them the comfort they need to go on in life. Give them the hope that they really need, in order to get back on the right track again. Send people in the faith to their doorsteps and wherever they may be, that their needs may be met and prayers may be offered on their behalf. And put a sense of urgency in my heart and others hearts to find those that are suffering, that we may be a light to them, when only darkness is found. There is hope that can still be found and this can only happen when we in the faith are willing to respond to Your will. So many more people would be getting the assistance they need, if people would be willing to get out of their comfort zones and step out where needs are the highest. Lord, I am so grateful that You have sent people to me, when I was down and depressed. Not too long ago, when I lost my job, I was really hurting inside and You knew my pain and heard my prayers. Not only did you send me a sense of relief to what was going on then, but You sent friends of the faith to my house, that I would be prayed over also. Thank you so much for sending them and giving them the courage to respond to my needs. I needed good friends to help me in those times and You knew that from start. You put them there in my life and now I am so much happier. Things have gotten better over the last many months now with this new job and I give You all the glory. Thank You for taking my thoughts of sadness and giving me gladness in return. I love You Lord. Amen.
