🕊️ For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.🕊️

Romans 8:6-11

🕊️ I spread out my hands to You;

My soul longs for You like a thirsty land.

Selah’

Answer me speedily, O LORD;

My spirit fails!

Do not hide Your face from me,

Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,

For in You do I trust;

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,

For I lift up my soul to You.

Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;

In You I take shelter.

Teach me to do Your will,

For You are my God;

Your Spirit is good.

Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake! 🕊️

Psalms 143:6-11

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 that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, I lift my arms in Praise and Worship each morning during our time together, and in prayer, I ask my requests for the day, depending on what is of concern to me or on my heart. Today Lord, my heart and my spirit is heavy and my focus is on our daughter, her upbringing in our Faith Formation and learning what we believe and how we believe it.

The other concern is my focus on self and how my actions and / or lack of discipline in my daily activities and dedications to my Faith, may be influencing our daughter’s thoughts and focus on how much our Faith means to us as a Family. 

Lord I pray my thoughts and actions be more disciplined in my day and in my activities of choice, the programs on TV I watch and our interactions with our babygirl, Lord, may Your Spirit fill me today, may I keep a strong focus on our Family and Faith Formation, above all things.

I lift up All my children before You O Lord, may Your Spirit’s call reach my children, my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may they sense Your Spirit and accept your direction in instruction and following the Way, may they learn to walk by Faith not by sight, trusting You O Lord, and may they walk as children of light today, may they bring glory to Your Holy name, Yahweh.

Father I pray Your Spirit fill me today, may I walk in the Way and follow Your leading, me, as Your child of the light, may I shine that light in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high;

He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,

And the strength of salvation;

The fear of the LORD is His treasure. 🕊️

Thank You!

Here I am Lord! 🕊️

My Family, All my children, they are where my heart is, may the Words I share here reach them and may I be as their Zion and point the way to You O Lord.

Father, may Your Spirit bless All my Family, All my children, my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may all my prayers for my loved ones daily reach Your Holy dwelling place, may Your Word be the cornerstone of my existence, Your presence in my life a constant, may Your Spirit bless my loved ones today, may they each receive Your Spirit’s call and hear the Word in their heart, and believe that You are Almighty God, Father, Lord and Savior, their Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

May I walk in the light, as Your child O Lord, may I shine that light in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 🕊️

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 that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father I pray Your Holy Spirit open up my mind to the Word I read today, may its understanding be clear, in reference to the day and time it was written and how it may apply to us all today, may I take with me today, the power of Your Word and meditate on it throughout my day.

O Lord, I lift up my babygirl Selah, I pray she may be filled with Your Spirit today and receive the Spirit’s call, may it find her in the everyday tasks and her normal routine, may she suddenly understand the meaning of your Word, come to memory, as it relates to whatever she is doing or working on. I pray Selah find You in the simplest of things and may it begin to make sense to her, life and all, how we all are like ants, following other ants, with the simple task of ‘gathering’ and returning what we collect to the nest.

I pray Your Spirit open her mind to see everything in her 360 view, how everything inside and outside her periphery, may her life and the life of others begin to make sense as You see it, how we are all just busy about the task of the day or moment, but may she question “with what on our minds?” and the how we interpret is the best way to use that information, to experience God’s sovereignty and providence, encouraging trust when circumstances are unclear. Bless Selah today O Lord, in Jesus’ name!

I lift up All my children today, in like manner, All my grandchildren and their little ones as they begin to grow. May Your Spirit lead them and bless them today, may they be safe in their coming and going.

I pray for Peace in Israel, and Ukraine Father, I lift up all the circumstances and planning for Iran Lord, may Your Holy Spirit speak Peace to each of these peoples, that they may find common ground and agreement in their search for resolve.

Fill me with Your Spirit today O Lord, may I use the gifts You’ve blessed me with today, in my creating and when working my daily tasks, may I shine Your light in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD;

Lord, hear my voice!

Let Your ears be attentive

To the voice of my supplications.

If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with You,

That You may be feared.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

And in His word I do hope.

My soul waits for the Lord

More than those who watch for the morning—

Yes, more than those who watch for the morning. 🕊️

My head is bowed and my eyes cast at my feet, Father, I pray for Your Forgiveness and Grace, Mercy and Peace.

I focus every day on the new man I have become since my conversion, the trials I’ve come through, the answer to all my prayers, and Your unfailing Love towards me.

I pray for Your forgiveness, for all the ways I may have failed You in my walk and life journey, and then its Your Holy Spirit which quickens to memory, Your Word in my mind and heart, I am washed clean in the blood of the Lamb, All my sins are forgiven, although at times on my walk, I might slip and behave unworthy of the crown of life, You are right there by my side, ready to hold my hand and lift me up above the fray and daily struggle, and return me on my walk of Faith and my journey in this life.

I am reminded to put on the Full armor of God, that I may walk in full confidence and with all the tools You provide to do battle with the principalities and powers of darkness, which is all around me.

Lord I lift up All my children before You today, may Your angels watch over them and keep them safe. I lift up my grandchildren and great grandchildren, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them and teach them in following a life in the Way and as Your children of light, may they bring glory to Your Holy name today. ’Yahweh’

I pray O Lord, may I walk as Your child of the light and may I shine bright today, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. 🕊️

Philippians 2:12-16

🕊️ For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD?

Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,

And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.

O LORD God of hosts,

Who is mighty like You, O LORD?

Your faithfulness also surrounds You. 🕊️

I lift up All my Family today, may they come to know You and follow in the Way, may they learn what Your Teacher has for them to receive, and may they rejoice in their Salvation through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, our consolation.

I lift up All my children before You O Lord, All my grandchildren, and All my great grandchildren, may your angels watch over them and keep them safe today, may they hear and sense Your Spirit’s call for each of them and may they walk in the Way today.

I pray for my own Salvation and as Your Word says, “…with fear and trembling”, with reverence and obedient pursuit of holiness, may my life be an example of the Love and Grace all your children receive daily. Father, may I walk in Your Way today, may I walk as Your child of the light, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ The Good News of Salvation

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,

Because the LORD has anointed Me

To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,

And the day of vengeance of our God;

To comfort all who mourn,

To console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes,

The oil of joy for mourning,

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,

The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” 🕊️

Isaiah 61:1-3

I lift up the sick and those who need healing today, raise them up O Lord, may they rise above the illness which hinders their way, may their healing be a testimony of Your  Grace, Mercy, and Peace. I lift up the lost and lonely, those wanderers who walk our streets at night, those who hold out a hand or raise a sign our way, May Your Spirit guide me and keep me humble in my efforts to shine Your light of Love and kindness.

Bless our loved ones O Lord, may they walk in Faith and not by sight this day, may they find You in their seeking answers and Your Peace instead of confusion.

I lift up All my children before You Father, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, may they each be safe today, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher fill them with Your Holy Word, may they be blessed today. I pray You guide them and may they be as children of light in Your mighty army of Believers and shine, filled with Love, Truth and Faith and Peace!

🕊️ The Happiness of Those Whose Help Is the LORD

Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD, O my soul!

While I live I will praise the LORD;

I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Do not put your trust in princes,

Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;

In that very day his plans perish.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,

Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Who made heaven and earth,

The sea, and all that is in them;

Who keeps truth forever,

Who executes justice for the oppressed,

Who gives food to the hungry.

The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;

The LORD raises those who are bowed down;

The LORD loves the righteous.

The LORD watches over the strangers;

He relieves the fatherless and widow;

But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

The LORD shall reign forever—

Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the LORD! 🕊️

🕊️ The way of the just is uprightness;

O Most Upright,

You weigh the path of the just.

Yes, in the way of Your judgments,

O LORD, we have waited for You;

The desire of our soul is for Your name

And for the remembrance of You.

With my soul I have desired You in the night,

Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;

For when Your judgments are in the earth,

The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 🕊️

🕊️ 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.” 🕊️

Having read John 9:1-41, the revelation of the Lord, Jesus, is made evident in His healing a man blind from birth on the Sabbath Day. As He is questioned by the Pharisees, Jesus reveals the Truth about blindness in those who can see and how it is because of their unbelief that causes the Pharisees to reject Jesus’ healing the blind man.

Father, I praise You today for Your forgiveness of all my sins, I remember that day when I asked that I might be cleansed by the blood of Christ, and His forgiveness of all my sin, which set me free, and removed the blinders from my eyes, but also from my heart.

It’s because I do believe, Father, that You are guiding my steps today.

Lord I know it is hard for a person to have Faith, and to believe, but I also know Your Holy Spirit, Your Counselor, Your Teacher, is here with us all now, today, and I ask may those who wish to believe and accept You as their Lord and Savior, receive the power of Your Holy Spirit upon their lives, and may they become the witness of Your Grace, and Mercy, and Your Peace, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up all my loved ones today, all my children, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, may they all come into he knowledge of the Truth and accept Your Holy Spirit and may they become free today, no longer a captive to sin and no longer wandering aimlessly in the dark, but in the newness of life as Your child of the light.

I pray for healing and for restoration, may each one receive the gift You have waiting for them, if they would only believe. Help them to believe, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.🕊️

Father, when I read Your Word about men of God walking through the streets where the people have gathered, such as a marketplace, I close my eyes and I can imagine being there to witness their coming and going.

Today we don’t have the exact type of messengers (prophets) who call out to the people and solicit them to come and hear the word of God and be converted to the Faith, however, we do have various tools to use to sit, stand, or walk, while listening.

I pray O Lord, Your Word continues to spread and men and women hear and follow the Way, there are so many who live in darkness and do not have Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and who do not believe in God at all, may Your Spirit speak to their hearts today and call them to the Faith You have waiting for them, Your Grace and Forgiveness, Your Spirit, Your Teacher to guide them and comfort them and lead them into all truth concerning following in the Faith.

I lift up All my children before You today O Lord, All my grandchildren and my great grandchildren, may Your angels keep them safe today, and Your Holy Spirit call to them so they may hear the Word and accept the gifts You have waiting for them to receive, and join the Faith, walking in the Way and to become Your children of light.

Father I pray You bless me today, fill me with Your Spirit, may I walk in the light today and shine bright before You, and may I guide others, who do not know You and have not been taught in the Way, may I be used to steer them towards the Faith, hearing the Word and seeing my walk of Faith as an example, may this be acceptable to You O Lord, and may I bring glory to Your Holy name, in and through all I say and do today, 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.

May the task of connecting Dann with his grandson bear fruit today, may Your Holy Spirit, speak to Bursa’s mind and comfort him this day, may he find You in his darkness and his struggle and know You are there beside him.

I lift up All my children before You O Lord, all my grandchildren and great grandchildren, may the power of Your Spirit reach them and work in and through them today, may they come to know You in a special way and may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide their steps, may they each walk as Your children of the light today.

I pray I be filled with Your Spirit today, walking and talking by Faith and believing, trusting You O Lord, to see me through any struggles and protecting me from the evil one and the enemies of darkness, may I walk in the light today and shine bright, as Your child of light, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. 🕊️

1 Samuel 15:22-23a

~~~~~~~

🕊️ Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.

Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. 🕊️

Empower me O Lord, not to fear or be intimidated, by those who hate me and that I might grow and be built up as You intended, in the newness of life belonging to Jesus Christ and how You placed me and destined for me to live.

Father, God, may I be an encourager and a friend to the stranger I meet today, to the lost and those who walk in darkness, to my friends, and Family, and to all who I share my story.

My arms are lifted height today O Lord, in worship and praise, for Your Love and Grace towards all who believe! I lift up All my children before You today Father, all my grandchildren and great grandchildren, may they too come into the knowledge of Your Word and follow the Way, may they accept Your Love and Grace and believe on Your name, may they too follow and live according to the words of instruction Jesus gave to His disciples, may they receive the gift of Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, to protect, comfort, and guide them in the Way.

May I hear from heaven today Lord, regarding my requests made for healing and forgiveness, for Grace and Salvation, for all my children and myself, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. 🕊️

🕊️ Ephesians 4:11-16

Light Bearers

🕊️ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation

with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.🕊️

I am blessed daily by Your tremendous Love and Forgiveness, sacrificing Your only son, Jesus Christ, so that in His death and resurrection, All who believe may be saved, my Savior and Redeemer, thank You!

I know how You must have mourned the loss, because of the loss of our own children, Tommy in 2009, and Judah in 2018, the suffering and pain that death of a loved one causes, its immeasurable grief and yet Lord, You gave us the strength through that suffering and pain, and we are even stronger today for having gone through it.

Thank You Father, may I share Your light and Love, and the blessings You provide to all who will receive my story and testimony.

I lift up All my children before You today and my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, I pray O Lord may they come to know You in a special way and receive Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, who will guide them in the Way and lead them into the light of their Salvation.

🕊️ All to the Glory of God

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one seek the other’s well-bein🕊️

1 Corinthians 10:23-24

~~~

🕊️ Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn.

But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God. 🕊️

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 that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, God, I want to thank You for forgiving me of All my sins and where I fall short, may Your Spirit fill me and guide me this day, to serve You and share Your Love with others, may I shine Your light, as Your child, may Your Spirit use me to reach others who still live in darkness and with the lost and lonely, may You use me as a conduit to bless others, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may Your Spirit reach out to each one today and may they receive Your call, may they accept You O Lord and receive the gifts You have waiting for them, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them into the knowledge of Your Word and following You in the Way, may they bring Glory to Your Holy name, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

“You shall have no other gods before Me.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. 🕊️

Thank You!

Bless me Father, may I receive Your Spirit this morning, and fill my mind, heart, and my very soul, with Your Word and may I follow in the Way, all the days of my life.

Forgive me O Lord, for my sin and where I fall short of Your Holy precepts, may Your Spirit fill me this day and may I walk in the light as I am with You today, may I shine Your light in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, I lift up my grandchildren and great grandchildren, may Your Spirit call them to You, may they learn Your Word, and may they follow in the Way, may they walk as Your children of the light today and bring glory to Your holy name, Yahweh, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.🕊️

For the LORD is the great God,

In His hand are the deep places of the earth;

The heights of the hills are His also.

The sea is His, for He made it;

And His hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

For He is our God,

And we are the people of His pasture,

And the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you will hear His voice:

“Do not harden your hearts, 🕊️

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. 🕊️

🕊️ Faith Triumphs in Trouble

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 🕊️

You have commissioned me as an ‘outreach’ member of ’The Church of God’, which is not a building or edifice made with the hands of man, but is a spiritual place, a community without a name or title to describe it, rather the only place filled with the saints of God, past, present, and future, whose leader is Jesus, Yahweh, our heavenly King, our Mighty God, and Almighty Father. 🕊️

Bless All my children today Father, may Your angels watch over them and keep them safe today, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them in the Way, and may they accept a life You have waiting for them to walk in, as children of the light, following in the Way.

🕊️ There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,

And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,

The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The Spirit of counsel and might,

The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

His delight is in the fear of the LORD,

And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,

Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,

And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,

And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,

The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,

The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;

And a little child shall lead them. 🕊️

🕊️ “Listen to Me, My people;

And give ear to Me, O My nation:

For law will proceed from Me,

And I will make My justice rest

As a light of the peoples.

My righteousness is near,

My salvation has gone forth,

And My arms will judge the peoples;

The coastlands will wait upon Me,

And on My arm they will trust.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

And look on the earth beneath.

For the heavens will vanish away like smoke,

The earth will grow old like a garment,

And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;

But My salvation will be forever,

And My righteousness will not be abolished.

“Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,

You people in whose heart is My law:

Do not fear the reproach of men,

Nor be afraid of their insults.

For the moth will eat them up like a garment,

And the worm will eat them like wool;

But My righteousness will be forever,

And My salvation from generation to generation.” 🕊️

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in Him. 🕊️

And understand with their heart,

And return and be healed.” 🕊️

🕊️ God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions.

For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 🕊️

Romans 1:18-27

~~~

🕊️ Preach the Word

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

Preach the word!

Be ready in season and out of season.

Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 🕊️

Lord, I lift up my Family before You, may You keep them safe today, in their coming and going, may they know and sense Your Spirit’s lead and guiding them.

I lift up All my children before You Lord, my grandchildren and great grandchildren, may Your angels watch over them and keep them safe, may they follow the Holy Spirit, Your Teacher leading them today, may each of them follow the Way and bring glory to Your Holy name, Yahweh! 

Bless me O Lord, may I shine Your light in the darkness around me today, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 🕊️

🕊️ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,

And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old

Through my groaning all the day long.

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;

My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.

~ Selah 🕊️

I acknowledged my sin to You,

And my iniquity I have not hidden.

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”

And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

~ Selah 🕊️

For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You

In a time when You may be found;

Surely in a flood of great waters

They shall not come near him.

You are my hiding place;

You shall preserve me from trouble;

You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.

🕊️ The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days

That the mountain of the LORD’s house

Shall be established on the top of the mountains,

And shall be exalted above the hills;

And all nations shall flow to it.

Many people shall come and say,

“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

To the house of the God of Jacob;

He will teach us His ways,

And we shall walk in His paths.”

For out of Zion shall go forth the law,

And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

He shall judge between the nations,

And rebuke many people;

They shall beat their swords into plowshares,

And their spears into pruning hooks;

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

Neither shall they learn war anymore. 🕊️

Isaiah 2:1-4

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 that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

I once walked daily, with a heavy heart, and as I raised my head in the mornings I was always alone in my home, no children to greet me, no wife to hold and caress.

I suffered for two years alone in pain and suffering my loss.

My divorce left me empty and I could not describe to anyone, the depth of my grief.

When I was at the lowest point in my life, when I questioned if You had simply left me, that’s when You came to me Lord, You picked me up, dusted me off, and Your Spirit gave me comfort.

“You” led a spiritual woman to me to tend to my loneliness and share my pain, my loss and feelings of abandonment. “You” gave me Hope, a new help mate, a new partner and friend, one with a “Real” spiritual commitment to serve You Lord.

This new friend brought me with her back to church and I returned to fellowship with other saints, and my Lord she could sing like an angel, a member of the church choir.

Although I believed Love and a life partner was out of the question for me, I married this woman, whom I still call, ”My Sweet Bride” Today.

After 27 years of happiness and real Love in my relationship with my Sweet Bride Amy, I lift my arms every morning praising You O Lord, for blessing me with our happy marriage and a beautiful growing daughter, Selah, now becoming a young woman.

We have raised her up in the midst of our experience of a happy family and all the right things that make up a successful marriage; we put You first in our life, we have true Faith in our God, our Savior and Redeemer, and our personal goals are to put each other first, supporting each other, seeing each other’s success above our own, Everything else is secondary!

When early on in our marriage, experiencing the loss of our son Tommy, at birth, You surrounded us with Your Love and the arms of so many saints to comfort us in our time of grief together. And yet, our Love and commitment to You has continued to grow so much, without measure! Thank You Father!

Thank You Father, for my family and the Love we have for each other.

Thank You for our Faith and how simply believing in Your Word and trusting You has brought us Peace.

I lift up All my children before You this day Lord, All my grandchildren and my great grandchildren, may they All be blessed today, may they learn to walk in Faith, not by sight, with Love and conviction in their heart, full of purpose and a commitment to walk in the Way, with You O Lord and the Spirit leading their way, as Your children of the light.

Thank You O Lord!

Bless me this day O Lord, fill me with Your Spirit this day!

May I continue my walk of Faith today Father, wearing the full armor of God, I walk in all confidence, all conviction, I walk with the strength of a Spirit filled life and purpose.

May I walk as Your child of the light, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!
