Oh Lord, I pray that people will wake up to know You. That their time coming to You will no longer be found in a church, but outside of its walls also. That their time will no longer be found when worshipping one day a week, but every day of their lives. That their time reading the Bible will no longer be one day a week, but every day of their lives. How can we say that we are true believers when our belief system is only on display while at church? For we are nothing more than the Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees in Your day, Jesus. They knew how to appear righteous on the outside while in the temple, but inside their heart was far from You. They didn’t live by what You commanded them, but what they added unto the law instead. And so we have them and people now who live by their own terms. Many people know what You have taught in scripture, but still, justify their sinful actions even if it goes against Your Word. Lord, I just pray that people will come to a realization of how far they have distanced themselves from You because of their sins. And speaking of being sinful, they cannot come to this realization unless they begin to let You in their lives. Then, can You pierce their hearts and convict them of things they are doing wrong. As for me, I am so grateful that I allowed You into my life. And instead of me being fearful of Your coming, I now welcome it. I can’t wait for Your return, for it is what I live for each day. I live for You, Jesus, for You are my Savior and my King. Come soon, my Lord. I am waiting for You. I just wish that others will be ready for that day. I will try to help them prepare, but they must desire to be saved on their own. I love You. Amen.

Luke 17:26-29
Luke 17:26-29 (KJV)
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Today’s Prayer (11/29/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will allow You to transform their lives. It only takes a person to humble themselves a little before You can do a mighty work in their lives. Too many people are satisfied with their own lives that this transformation is delayed. Often times it is even too late for people because they died while procrastinating their day of repentance. You wished to come in and dine with them, as You dine with me so often, but people are too busy in life to make time for You. Excuses start to arise when asked about their spiritual life outside of church. But in reality, if people were born again in the Spirit, this time for You would come naturally daily. Other things would also start to become less important as we give You our rightful time and space. You called us to abide in You, and this time with You we would begin to cherish each time it happens. Lord, the time I gave my heart to You is when I have become happier than ever before. I thought I could find happiness in pornography and the lusts of my flesh, but I was so wrong. It only led to guilt and shame, and a feeling of never being forgiven. Now I know that these feelings were of Satan, for he never wanted me to come to You in my confessions. He hoped that I would stay in my sins and begin to justify my sinful actions. Thankfully, I did pray. That day You came and rescued a lost soul. I had no way out of the darkness, but Your light came in and scattered it. I am set free because You continued to do a work in my life based on my daily prayers and time in Your Word. Thank You, Jesus. You are my Savior and my God. Your mercy endures forever. I love You. Amen.
Ephesians 2:8-10
Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Today’s Prayer (11/28/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will become drawn to You. Yes, Jesus, I pray that people will come to know You as their messiah and savior of the world. That people will call upon Your name and it will mean more than just words. That people will come to a realization of what You did for us on the cross and cry out to You in praise and thanksgiving. You did so much for us, that we might be saved and I give You glory. Thank You, God, for suffering so much, that I might be forgiven. I was once so lost in my sins, but You pulled me out of a life of despair and raised me up into newness of life. I am born again because You have adopted me into Your fold. You held nothing against me but loved me enough to take me in. You are such a good Father, and I don’t deserve all the love and affection You give me. I am so blessed and I give You thanks, this day and forever. I love and adore You, Jesus. Amen.
John 3:13-15
John 3:13-15 ( KJV)
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Today’s Prayer (11/26/2020)
Thank You, Jesus, for my family. That is my wife, two daughters, three sisters, two brothers, parents, and my grandparents. You created me in my mother’s womb and gave me such a wonderful family. You have even given me great friends. Praise the Lord. Thank You, Lord, that both my wife and I have good jobs. You have blessed us with a house that is warm in the winter and cool in the summertime. We have cars to drive also, which I also give thanks for. We have food on the table and have a bed to sleep on. And because You are in our lives, this is everything we need. We are not alone, for You have brought into us new life. Our eyes have been opened and we can see. Thank You for giving us wisdom that will help us keep our faith, even until the end. You are the light that we follow. Because of Your mercy and grace, we are forgiven. Nothing is too hard that we cannot conquer, for You are lifting our burdens. I give You glory and praise. I love You, God. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (11/25/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all gain a more generous heart. That people will understand the need to help one another who is less fortunate. This can be our elderly neighbors who need help raking their leaves. Our neighbors, who don’t have the type of snow shovels that we have and need help. People who are trying to start their car and cannot, but we have jumper cables to help them. The homeless that we see on the side of the road, give us over to stop and care for their needs also. Even the times we go out to eat, help us to also invite those people who are less fortunate to join us. Lord, take out of our hearts every ounce of selfishness, stinginess, pride, and judgementalism. If these feelings could just be removed from people, then more people would be open to help more people who are less fortunate than themselves. They would not think that people would misuse their money but become cheerful givers no matter what. Thank You for giving me over to use my money to help people in need. I love to give to full-time missionaries who are in need and could never do this unless you were with me. I love to stop and care for the homeless and others in need. And what is better is to take them out to eat with me and my family. I love to have them in my midst when I dine out for food, no matter what other people think. This brings me more joy than anything else, for this is fulfilling Your perfect will. Even, You are in the room with us. It is because You told us to have people over with us for dinner, that my heart has been more and more open to this than ever before. Thank You for convicting me of my faults and helping me know how to please You and do Your will. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and glory, this day and forever. Amen.
Luke 14:12-14
Luke 14:12-14 (KJV)
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

Today’s Prayer (11/24/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will find out where true joy is found in life. Not in the luxuries of this world, but what You bring into our life. Anything else besides You is temporary. We cannot find eternal happiness in the things we purchase for ourselves or gain as gifts from other people. It is fun and all to receive something new, especially when it is the cutting edge, but soon after we use it the effect wears off. Even do more things come out that are more feature-rich and our heart is now on those things instead. This is where we begin to covet what is not important. Lord, this is the society we live in. Technology is running ramped while causing many people to be financially burdened because of all the things they purchase. Even do people create long lists of items in their Amazon Wishlist, instead of creating long lists of things they wish to do for Your kingdom. How different would the world be if people were seeking daily what they could do for You, God, instead of the world? This would cause all the selfishness in people’s hearts to vanish away, while selflessness would start to take over the world. This is the type of society that ushers in Your love, where people are accepting of it more than anything else. Lord, this is the type of world I wish to be in, but I know that it can only happen this way if people in the faith step out in faith also. We cannot be keeping our belief in You to ourselves and expect anything in this world to change. So I pray for a revival to happen in people’s hearts. That they will begin to seek You first and treasure up the things of heaven. Then, will more of heaven come down to earth, while many people are blessed. I love You, God. I believe in You. Amen.
Luke 12:15
Luke 12:15 (KJV)
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Today’s Inspiration (11/24/2020)
Coveting is very sinful in God’s eyes. What you treasure is where your heart is also. So begin to seek first the kingdom of God.

Today’s Prayer (11/23/2020)
Oh Lord, I pray that people will not give in to their lusts any longer. That they will instead give into Your willpower in their lives. If You were to build us up in the faith, fewer people would be walking in willful sin and following You instead. And I know why this is happening and it is never Your fault, God. It is people’s selfish ambitions that keep them from following You. You wish that we would all come unto You in our humility, but our pride continues to get in the way of that. Even to the point of people justifying their sinful actions. This causes people to walk further and further from You until they are too far gone. This is why sin is abounding in the world we live in. People have made what is evil appear to be good and good to appear evil. Even we are ridiculed for walking in Your righteousness. People call us stuck up religious people or prideful when only we desire to have You in our lives and not an ounce of sin. How can people see that we are prideful when we only wish to live for You and to see more people be saved? As for me, I can’t stand the wickedness in this world any longer. It drives me nuts to see people watching certain things on TV, for it ruins the Spirit in me. Therefore, I am grateful that You have cut from my life, time spent watching TV. That I no longer desire to watch things that will only waste my time or cause me to stumble in the faith. Lord, You have also rescued me from a life of sin. Thank You. Even pornography is no more because You have cast that addiction from my heart. I am no longer tied to it, and even when tempted I am not given into such filth, for You are with me now. I have been given armor and a shield that will win every battle, as long as I have it on. Thank You Jesus for caring enough as to build me up with Your strength and courage. I have the boldness to share the gospel because You are with me now. I love You, Lord. I believe in You. Amen.
Luke 12:1,2
Luke 12:1,2 (KJV)
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
