🕊️ To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust in You;

Let me not be ashamed;

Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;

Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Show me Your ways, O LORD;

Teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

On You I wait all the day.

Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,

For they are from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;

According to Your mercy remember me,

For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.

Good and upright is the LORD;

Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

The humble He guides in justice,

And the humble He teaches His way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,

To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

For Your name’s sake, O LORD,

Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man that fears the LORD?

Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.

He himself shall dwell in prosperity,

And his descendants shall inherit the earth.

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him,

And He will show them His covenant.

My eyes are ever toward the LORD,

For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. 🕊️

Thank You!

My Lord and my God, Jesus, lead me with Your Holy Spirit today, guide my steps, lift me up and help me stand, may I walk today wearing the full armor of God, strengthened by the Spirit and not by the inner flesh.

Show me the right path O Lord, I praise You Lord, my Savior, my redeemer, for the great work You do in me every day, for my Faith and strength in believing, just letting go and Trusting You, I am blessed!

Father, I lift up All my children before You this morning, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may they too choose the path of Faith and believing on Your Holy name, Jesus!

May Your Spirit bless them and keep them safe today, may they accept the gifts you have for each of them, may they walk in the path to the light, as Your dear children, and may they bring glory to Your holy name, Jesus Christ, Savior, and Lord of All.

Thank You Lord, for this blessing and a sense of Your Spirit’s presence within me, beside me, working through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. 🕊️

Father, I praise Your Holy Name, Jesus, and I am blessed in the revelation of Your Word to my mind, always learning, always searching for a deeper meaning and message in Your Word, which I can apply in my life.

Today You’ve shown me in Your Word, it is not through Wisdom or Knowledge, I may attain a deeper walk and purpose in this life, as Your messenger, Your servant, rather coming into each day, as a sleepy child, humbly walking into class and welcomed by the Teacher, Your Holy Spirit, then guiding me in the Word, as if reading it or hearing it for the first time, then praying each passage might be a new revelation in my life and how I might serve You O Lord, how I might walk, by Faith, humbly before You, and All men.

 Bless my day Lord, may I walk by Faith and pray Your Spirit guide me as I follow the Way and shine my light, which You put inside of me, and shinning in the darkness around me.

Bless All my children this day O Lord, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may Your Spirit keep them safe today, guide them to Your light, reading Your Word, and following  the Way, may Your Love, mercy, and Grace surround them today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Jacob’s Vow at Bethel

Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. 

And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 

Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 

Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 

Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” 

And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! 

This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”

Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 

And he called the name of that place Bethel 🕊️

Father God, I praise You for the lessons I read in the bible, of the Roots and beginnings of our Faith. May I continue to read them and see the mighty blessings You bestowed upon the Israelite people. I pray my life and my heritage, my seed, will one day see or read my story, and be blessed by the mighty work You begun in my life and the years of transformation to the man that I am today. On this endeavor I pray for Your blessings as I write my story.

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, my grandchildren and their little ones, may they find Your Word in their life and may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, bless them and keep them safe, may they learn of You and how to follow the Way, as Jesus instructed.

Give them Hope and Purpose in their lives when serving You Lord, in All things, in Love!

🕊️ Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,

And I shall keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;

Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,

For I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,

And revive me in Your way.

Establish Your word to Your servant,

Who is devoted to fearing You.

Turn away my reproach which I dread,

For Your judgments are good.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;

Revive me in Your righteousness.

Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD

Your salvation according to Your word. 🕊️

For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 🕊️

Father, my heart goes out to all those who live in prisons around the world, suffering in silence, no end in sight for a trial or date to be heard, or if there may even be possible, a release from their suffering and pain. 

Lord, I lift up their households and those waiting for their loved ones to be released. 

I pray Father, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, visit with them and bless them with the gifts from above, which they might be a light and positive encouragement to all the others who are also suffering around them.

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may they each receive Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, and sense Your presence in their lives, working within them the will to do Your work, sharing the Love You placed in their hearts, with all those who live in darkness around them, may they be Your lights and a fresh breath, when they share Your name, Jesus, as their Redeemer, their Salvation! 

May they be kept safe today and wearing the full armor of God, walk in confidence facing any and all the challenges that may come their way today, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Free from Indwelling Sin

🕊️ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 🕊️

🕊️ The Just Live by Faith

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” 🕊️

Romans 1:16-17

🕊️ The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the LORD

A Psalm of David.

LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle?

Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

He who walks uprightly,

And works righteousness,

And speaks the truth in his heart;

He who does not backbite with his tongue,

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;

In whose eyes a vile person is despised,

But he honors those who fear the LORD;

He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

He who does not put out his money at usury,

Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be moved. 🕊️

Psalms 15:1-5

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 🕊️

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 🕊️

🕊️ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 

And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

“Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, (trespasses)

As we forgive our debtors. (trespassers)

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen!

Life’s lessons:

I read a story this morning, about a blessing and appreciation, which can be both about the flesh and the spirit, and how one affects the other.

A father said to his son, “You graduated with honors. Here is a Volkswagen Beetle that I bought many years ago… It is over 50 years old, but before I give it to you, take it to a dealership downtown and ask how much they are offering you.”

The son went to the dealership, came back to his father and said, “They offered me $10,000 because it looks very used.” The father said, “Take it to a pawn shop.”

The son went to the pawn shop, came back and said, “They only offered me $1,000 because they say it is too old.”

Finally, the father asked his son to take the car to a classic car club and show it there. The son took the car to the club, came back and said, “Some people at the club offered me $100,000! because it is a very rare car and sought after among the members.”

The father said to his son, “I wanted you to understand that the right place appreciates you in the right way. If they don’t value you, don’t be angry, it just means you’re in the wrong place. Those who know your value are the ones who truly appreciate you. Never stay in a place where they don’t recognize your value!”

🕊️ Praise for the LORD’s Mercies

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the LORD, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The LORD executes righteousness

And justice for all who are oppressed.

He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the children of Israel.

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

He will not always strive with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children,

So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

For He knows our frame;

He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

And its place remembers it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting

On those who fear Him,

And His righteousness to children’s children,

To such as keep His covenant,

And to those who remember His commandments to do them. 🕊️

Psalms 103:1-18

🕊️ The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree

And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 

And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” 🕊️

Matthew 21:20-22

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not good to eat much honey;

So to seek one’s own glory is not glory.

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit

Is like a city broken down, without walls.

(Proverbs 25:27-28)

Starving the Ego

Oh Lord, as I experience success in different ways, I pray I will always give You the glory. 

Keep my head level. Help me not to become bloated with pride and false importance. 

It is so easy to feed on the sweetness of compliments rather than on the hard kernels of Your truth.

God, build up my self-control so I am protected from the desire to stuff my ego with empty words. 

I pray that You see me as a person of substance and integrity. 

Let my honor come from my association with Jesus, the King of Kings!

Father, being filled with Your Holy Spirit, and putting on the “Full Armor of God”, Lord, I still reach out to You for All things, as Your child of the light, I am constantly checking myself, looking to be preventative, rather than reactionary, I know my character flaws and my limits, I also know when I exceed them or when I am tempted to act in my flesh, rather than allow Your Spirit within me to calm my own spirit.

This war of flesh and spirit wages on, but so does my morning prayers, reaching to the “God of the impossible”, my Lord and my Shepherd, daily consulting You O Lord, to help me to fight the desires of my flesh and walk in the spirit, my spirit, which bears witness to Your Spirit strengthening me for my day, so thus I pray, may I walk in my spiritual man and not by my fleshly man. 

Father I lift up All my loved ones, All my children, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they each sense Your presence in their lives, may they learn to hear and obey the leading of Your Holy Spirit, guiding them in making good choices, and living as Your children of the light.

Bless me O Lord, may I complete all the tasks before me today, and may I shine in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,

But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom,

And before honor is humility. 🕊️

🕊️ You have dealt well with Your servant,

O LORD, according to Your word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge,

For I believe Your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

But now I keep Your word.

You are good, and do good;

Teach me Your statutes.

The proud have forged a lie against me,

But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as grease,

But I delight in Your law.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes.

The law of Your mouth is better to me

Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

Your hands have made me and fashioned me;

Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,

Because I have hoped in Your word.

I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,

And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,

According to Your word to Your servant.

Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;

For Your law is my delight.

Let the proud be ashamed,

For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;

But I will meditate on Your precepts.

Let those who fear You turn to me,

Those who know Your testimonies.

Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,

That I may not be ashamed. 🕊️

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, I praise You for allowing me to see good days and watch my family grow.

I lift them All up before You now, keep them safe Lord.

Having lost our first born, Tommy, at birth, after waiting many months to greet him, and the loss of my son, Judah at 32, Father I can only imagine the pain and sorrow of losing Jesus, when he died, and I understand the sacrifice, in creating a better way for ALL man to be free and receive Salvation, never to fear of death or dying, but living forever with You O Lord, I get it Father, Thank You!

*Today is another of my sons birthday Lord, Malachi, coming to me at 6 years of age, when I was out burning trash on our acreage, he asked me to pray for God to forgive him of his sins and receive Salvation and have everlasting life. I lift him up before You then, together, as two, standing before You, and I ask it again today Jesus, may he be healed from within and come to remembrance of the words we shared that day, so long ago, may he walk with You O Lord, and may he follow the Way, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Lord I lift up All my children this day, may Your Spirit bless each of them and keep them safe, I lift up All my grandchildren Father, All my great grandchildren, may they be blessed today and receive Your Spirit, Your Joy, may they sense Your Spirit working within them and guiding their way, may they find You in all they see and experience, may they come to the light as Your children and bring glory to Your Holy name, Jesus.

I pray Father, I might walk this day in remembrance of Your Love shown to me, so many years ago, You freed me from my past and gave me a New path to follow, one filled with Joy and Peace.

I ask O Lord, may I continue to shine my light, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. 

If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 

But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 

And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. 

But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” 🕊️

Matthew 18:15-20

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🕊️ Love Your Neighbor

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore Love is the fulfillment of the law. 🕊️

Matthew 13:8-10

Father, these basic truths are rooted in my brain and deep within my heart!

I pray O Lord, may Your Holy Spirit fill me with these my whole life, that I might walk in them and live them and witness of them, all my days, in Jesus’ name,Amen!

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may You keep them safe and without harm, may they be blessed with all the earthly things they need, but Most of All, may they be filled with Your Holy Spirit, may they sense Your presence in their lives and receive the Words You speak to them, may they follow You Lord, on their life journey, may they shine as Your ‘children of light’, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ All your children shall be taught by the LORD,

And great shall be the peace of your children.

In righteousness you shall be established;

You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;

And from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.

Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.

“Behold, I have created the blacksmith,

Who blows the coals in the fire,

Who brings forth an instrument for his work;

And I have created the spoiler to destroy.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

And every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,

And their righteousness is from Me,”

Says the LORD. Hallelujah! 🕊️

Isaiah 54:13-17

~~~~~~~

🕊️ Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’

“So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 🕊️

Father, You continue Your blessing upon my life, through the work of The Holy Spirit of Promise!

Thank You Lord!

I am blessed every morning, in reading Your Word, the images in my head as I read, I’ve re-created them in my own way, the task and journey is amazing, along with reading the encouraging stories of the Faithful journey of the early disciples, and Your guiding direction for my life.

I pray I may be used by You Father, as Your child of the light, sharing Your Word, and Your Way, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? 

And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? 

And how shall they hear without a preacher? 

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? 

As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,

Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. 

For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?” 

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:

“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the world.” 🕊️ 

Romans 10:14-18

🕊️ Deal bountifully with Your servant,

That I may live and keep Your word.

Open my eyes, that I may see

Wondrous things from Your law.

I am a stranger in the earth;

Do not hide Your commandments from me.

My soul breaks with longing

For Your judgments at all times.

You rebuke the proud—the cursed,

Who stray from Your commandments.

Remove from me reproach and contempt,

For I have kept Your testimonies.

Princes also sit and speak against me,

But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

Your testimonies also are my delight

And my counselors.

My soul clings to the dust;

Revive me according to Your word.

I have declared my ways, and You answered me;

Teach me Your statutes.

Make me understand the way of Your precepts;

So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.

My soul melts from heaviness;

Strengthen me according to Your word.

Remove from me the way of lying,

And grant me Your law graciously.

I have chosen the way of truth;

Your judgments I have laid before me.

I cling to Your testimonies;

O LORD, do not put me to shame!

I will run the course of Your commandments,

For You shall enlarge my heart.

Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,

And I shall keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;

Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,

For I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,

And revive me in Your way.

Establish Your word to Your servant,

Who is devoted to fearing You.

Turn away my reproach which I dread,

For Your judgments are good.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;

Revive me in Your righteousness.

Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD—

Your salvation according to Your word. 🕊️

🕊️ “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

And whose hope is the LORD.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,

Which spreads out its roots by the river,

And will not fear when heat comes;

But its leaf will be green,

And will not be anxious in the year of drought,

Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

“The heart is deceitful above all things,

And desperately wicked;

Who can know it?

I, the LORD, search the heart,

I test the mind,

Even to give every man according to his ways,

According to the fruit of his doings. 🕊️

Jeremiah 17:7-10

~~~~~~~

🕊️ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” 🕊️

Psalms 17:5-8

🕊️ So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 🕊️

🕊️ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” 🕊️

Lord, my heart aches, longing to be in Your presence, praying my focus remains on You, while serving You in this world, may I not fail You today.

🕊️ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”

But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 

Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” 🕊️

🕊️ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. 

For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” 🕊️

🕊️ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Fast

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. 🕊️

2 Thessalonians 2:7-17

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father God, I pray You fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, this day, may I wear the full armor of God, which will protect me from the evil one, may I take all that You’ve given me and plant it deep in my heart, mind, and soul! 

Guide my steps today Father, may I walk in the light as Your child, and may I shine that light in the darkness around me, may I not yield to the temptations of the enemy, the evil one, rather stand fast in my Faith and following Your Word and Your Way, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe today O Lord, and may Your Holy Spirit quicken to their memory, Your Word, which You have placed deep within their mind and spirit, from birth, may You bless each of them today O Lord, in and through all they say and do, in Jesus’ name Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

Walk in Love

🕊️ Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.

Walk in Light

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:

“Awake, you who sleep,

Arise from the dead,

And Christ will give you light.” 🕊️

Father, as a child of Your light, may You fill me with Your Holy Spirit today afresh, may I continue on the path You chose for me, with diligence and purpose, may You guide me through this day, to see with angel’s eyes, and speak with a voice of assurance and comfort, may I shine in the darkness as Your light to the lost and dying around me, may Your Spirit lead them to the light and a path to learn and follow the Way, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
