Respect Your Elders

 '"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.' Exodus 20:12 NASB

Dear Father

I know that You are perfect in every way. I know that Your ways are perfect. What You tell me to do is for my own good. You are higher. You see everything. Your ways are higher. Your vision is perfect. You are creator God. To God be the Glory. Good things You have done. You placed me in a family. Perfect architect. Perfect design. One unit. Powerful. Beautiful. Not to be alone. May I see the promises that You give. Long days in the land. May I honor my mother and father who brought me into this world and taught me to do good. Important lessons. To tell the truth. To work hard. To make a difference. 

May I continue to walk in Your Spirit and Truth all days. To see You in it all. To be thankful. to pray. to stay on fire for You. Not lukewarm. May I stay in right standing with You and those that you have placed above me. Thank you for giving me my parents whom I love and respect. They have taught me so much. I have learned so much. I have so many good memories. Dad is gone now, so I have even more love to give for mom. Forgive me when I dishonor them and You. I pray that this be the time where I choose to honor my family and friends in everything that I do and that my life honor You. I pray for city, state and country. I love You Lord.

In Jesus name

Amen

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
