The Word, the Prayer, the Blessing

 'God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.' Ephesians 2:8 (NLT)

 Faith believes the good news of the free gift of salvation through Christ and accepts Him as the Savior. The gift of God is eternal life. God gave us eternal life and it is through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Not just faith, but the whole work and person of Christ alone. It is a gift from God. Salvation by Grace. It is not of merit. It is by favor. It is by Christ's merit. Not by the works of my own hands. The exceeding riches of His grace in kindness. By the effect of the power of the resurrection we are raised. together with Him. No scheming. No striving. No boasting.

Dear Father. 
Thank you that You have saved me. Thank you for Your Word. Thank you for Your Blessings. Thank you that by Your favor on me I have been saved unto eternal life. Thank you for Your Son Jesus Christ and the work that he did for me. The thoughts of Him clearing the temple fill my mind this morning.

Thank you for the life that Christ lived for me as Your perfect example and that He died for me as Your perfect sacrifice. Thank you that my sins have been forgiven, and through His blood I am free from the burdens and punishment that I deserve so that I might Live for You. He took it all upon Himself for me. The guilt, the pain, the suffering He bore for me while on that Cross. To the tomb they took Him and He lay. Until that glorious day when He arose and now sits at Your Right Hand. Where He prays and advocates for me. Glory be!
In Jesus's name.
Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
