John 14:12-15 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Today’s Inspiration (03/08/2020)
As believers, Jesus wants to do many great works through us. Our faith in Christ is realized when we begin to do as He says.
Jesus Said That We Will Do Greater Works
Did the disciples of Christ, in the Bible, believe what Jesus said? Yes, they did. Paul said, “for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Today’s Prayer (03/07/2020)
Oh Lord, thank You for preparing me to be with You one day. It is all I wish for to be in heaven with my King when I die. None of these earthly pleasures mean anything to me, but only the times I’ve had with Your presence in my life. Your blessings are what brings me joy, not what the world offers. People can take everything I have physically, but if I still have You, then my life is complete. No person is able to steal the joy I have in the Lord, my God. Your love and peace are what bears me up each day. You are my cornerstone and the rock of my foundation, oh Lord. I am able to think clearly and make better choices because You are with me. I don’t have to worry about being the victim of Satan’s lies, for You have me by the hand, and are my protector. I look to You in faith, for I know that You will always be there for me. I know that one day I will be with You in heaven. Even if it is while on earth during the millennial reign, my joy will be fulfilled. On this new earth or new heaven, wherever You are residing, I hope to be there with You. Even into Your Holy Tabernacle in the heavens, which will one day come down to earth, do I wish to enter in. There will I enter into Your holy city and bless You forevermore. I love Your commandments, and the laws that You have for us are imprinted upon my heart. To walk in Your laws is what makes me truly happy. Therefore, I hope to enter the doors of Your temple, and be allowed in to eat of the tree of life. I am Yours, my Lord, and You are mine. Be with me all my days, while on earth and in heaven. My reward comes from You and not from anyone else. So Lord, come quickly, as I am ready to receive You. You are so glorious and reigneth supreme on earth and in heaven. Holy, holy, is your Name. I lift You up high. I magnify Your Name. All the praise and honor to the Name of the Lord, my God. I love You. Amen.

1 Chronicles 22:8-10 (KJV)
8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Today’s Prayer (03/06/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to seek Your hand, that they may be able to distinguish right from wrong in this world. The devil is so crafty and more often then not makes things appear to be good on the outside, although his plans are filthy on the inside. This only leads people that fall for his schemes to be guilty and shameful afterwards. This temporary pleasure that we get from lust and worldly treasures are good for in moment that we indulge in them, but these actions always have consequences afterwards. We are not only racked because of our sins, but people around us are also hurt by what we’ve done. People may also feel used and not trust us anymore because of the choices we made. And I know that Your wrath is upon the wicked, but Your peace is upon the righteous. People living in sin ought to repent and come to You in prayer while asking for forgiveness, lest they die in their sins and have to face You in judgement. This will not be a fun time, but very fearful, for they did not know You and now know the place they will be sent to for all eternity. And knowing this Lord, it makes me very sad to think of all the millions of people that are in this same boat. This world has become so filthy, wretched, and wicked, and it will take a life change to come out of the mess people are in. It will take Your hand to pull people out of the mess they have caused. And for people to regain trust in them, it will take Your mighty hand to pierce the hearts of people to forgive them also. As You forgive us as sinners, we are to forgive others as well. We do this because we love You and want to be forgiven ourselves. Who is it for us to keep grudges when You don’t do this when we repent? So lead us on Your path, which leads to heaven. May we depart from evil and get in right standing with You, starting today. I believe in You. I trust You. I love You, Lord. Amen.
1 Chronicles 21:16,17
1 Chronicles 21:16,17 (KJV)
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

David’s Sin Caused People To Suffer And Die

Today’s Prayer (03/05/2020)
Oh Lord, thank You for all that You do for us. Surely, as we seek Your hand You bestow so many blessings upon us. It is hard to even count all the many things that You have done for me. Many of the wicked people out there may appear to be well off on the outside, but they are only in bondage on the inside. They have no salvation when it comes to their own doing, but only destruction. Even what they thought they had will be given to the righteous in blessings. Surely, what is in store for us in heaven I cannot even comprehend. All I know, Lord, is that You are preparing a place for me, and others that believe in You, and there will be mansions there. What that will be like, I do not know. What I will experience when I am in heaven, I do not comprehend. All I know is that there will be no more sickness, death, depression or heartache, for You will wipe away all the tears from our eyes. What an amazing time it will be to be with my God for all eternity in paradise. I cannot wait for the time that I can see You in person and run into Your arms. There, I will give You the biggest hug I’ve given someone, for I love You more anything this world can offer me. You are my greatest joy. Lord, be with me all my days, that I may be able to be called home when I die. I hope to make this a reality someday of being with You in heaven. At the same time, I am saddened to think of all the people that are being defiant to You. All the people that are not listening to what You have called them to do. People that are living their own lives, instead of working in Your kingdom. These people have much to fear when they die, for Your judgment is already upon them. I do not wish to see people cast into the lake of fire, but that they would repent and come to You. Open the eyes of the blind and the hard-hearted. I wish to reach them for Your kingdom. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Matthew 25:28-30
Matthew 25:28-30 (KJV)
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Today’s Prayer (03/04/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that You will open people’s eyes to their sins and to confess their sins openly to You in prayer. Then, will they be desirous to do Your will instead. Too many people are focused on gratifying their own flesh, where Your will is being dishonored daily. People don’t even realize that their bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and if they do, they are mocking You in how they choose to live their lives If people are not seeking You in what they do and watch, then they ought to repent. I ask You, Lord, to wake people up to their sinful lifestyle. Help them realize that You can see and hear everything that is happening in their lives. So what they watch on TV, the computer, their phone or tablet, You can see it also. Even their music choices, You can hear it also. And if it is not uplifting and good for the Spirit of God, to dwell in then it is only leading them on a path of destruction. I am saddened to talk to many people that say they are Christians, but don’t give You much or any time during the day. Instead, they’d rather watch their favorite shows, movies, or play video games. It is like I have to remind people to seek You first in their lives, or else they forget. So it is my prayer that people no longer have to make it a goal to read the Bible daily or pray often, but to have this become a part of who they are for You. Surely, people either love You or they don’t. We cannot put on a certain face at church and a different one during the week. If we love and honor You, then our lives would be dedicated to follow You and to do as You say. This should motivate more and more people to get into the Word daily, that they may know what You desire for our lives now. We can think up things on our own, but if it is not Your will, then it is good for nothing. Lord, we need You to lead us and not our own selves. I believe in You. I love You. Amen.
Matthew 6:24
Matthew 6:24 (KJV)

Today’s Prayer (03/03/2020)
Lord, instill in us a heart to love everyone. Help us to not be biased in who we help, but that all people will be benefited because of Your love in us. I know that I am not the one who is doing any kind act, but You, Lord, who is in me. I just pray that people will recognize Your hand in these moments and not speculate if I am doing things for the good or not. All things are good that come from You. So abide in me at all times. Cast out any darkness, that You may stay awhile and abide in me, as I am in You. Light up my life, oh Lord. Take every evil temptation from my mind and heart and cast it far from me. I do not wish to have the enemy trying to take me down when all I want to do is serve You. His lies are not valid anymore, and I want everyone to know that if they would just trust in You for answers, that You would provide for them. People don’t have to wait till they die to receive Your blessings, for they are here for us now. You have amazing talents to give each one of us. Even Spiritual gifts that will take us to the next level in Your kingdom, Lord. If people could be filled up with the Holy Spirit, then they would not wish to live in sin any longer. Instead, they would be reaching out for You at every moment to find peace. Yes, Lord. You are our deliverer. Even us, as messengers, do we go forth in faith knowing that only You are doing the work in us and not ourselves. If we show love or kindness to someone, it is because You did this, and they are blessed because of You, not me. We are Your hands and feet, and I wish that we would all want to be Your disciple. Then, more people would be blessed. Some may not be happy, but the elect will be. I believe in You. I love You. Amen.

When Kind Acts Are Not Accepted
We can see how things for David started to blow out of proportion, where it shouldn’t have in the next few verses.
Today’s Prayer (03/02/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will understand the need to get themselves right with You. It is one thing to say that they believe in You, and another thing to really follow You. What we do in Your kingdom or the world says a lot about the person we really are. So, as Christians, help people understand that this means that they are willing to be Christlike also. That they are now Your willing servants upon this earth. We are no longer involved with things that are of the world, which will lead us into darkness, but seek first Your kingdom, that we may choose wisely. Even our friends need to know what we stand for, which is doing Your will. People may not be happy when they realize that we are now Your disciples, but we cannot go around with a certain face at church, then what we do during the week. If we love truly love You, then it will be shown in our everyday life. Yes, Lord, You are the one that helps us live a life that pleases You and not ourselves. We can have this motivation to do what is right, but this motivation comes from You. These good intentions to quit doing things that are wrong is because You are in our life now strengthening us. Thank You, Lord. It is my desire to please You and to give You glory, not myself. I do not wish to have anyone follow me, but You alone. May I learn to approach people with the truth of God with respect and love. Help people know that there is a better life to be had, which is in Christ the Lord. We don’t have to live this life in fear, depression, anxiety, guilt, or shame, for You are our healer. Anyone that puts their trust in You will be healed from such things. Even members of the faith will be able to put their hands upon them, that they may be healed of sicknesses and disease also. We are Your hands and feet and I give You the glory. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Ephesians 5:8-11
Ephesians 5:8-11 (KJV)
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Believers Are Little Christlike People
When it comes to willful sin, Paul taught the believers to not live any longer this way, where you will be drawn away from God and into the world.
Today’s Prayer (03/01/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will start to call upon Your Name. May they realize that You are there for us in the good times and bad. Therefore, when we feel like things are going well, this is when we need You, Lord, to make us stronger. Then, our lives are opened up to You fully, while allowing You to shine down Your light upon us. We can walk in Your light if we just let You in. I know that I am weak if I continue to do my own things, instead of seeking Your hand in my decisions. Therefore, I need Your guidance even when it appears that I have a handle on life. Really my own thoughts can deceive me into doing things I will then regret in the future. So, God, it is my prayer that You will build me up and lead me on the path of righteousness. I may not know what path to follow on my own strength, but am able to see clearly when You are leading me. So come and make Your place in my soul, that I will be ready to fight the enemy when he strikes. I may not have a way to escape His temptations on my own, but can easily fight and win the battle if You are with me. Surely, Satan has something coming, if He thinks that I am open to do anything he asks of me any longer. I have tried what he was wanted for me and all it did was lead to have more shame and guilt in the end. I was never fully happy and always needed more of the drug I was addicted to. Thank You, God, for rescuing me from a life of sin. You have cleansed me of all my sins through the blood that was shed on the cross. You found compassion for my soul. Surely, Your mercy endures forever. It is my prayer that You will build me up in Your strength and armor for the rest of my days. Preserve my life, that I may no longer fall by the hand of the enemy. I love You. Amen.
