🕊️ Not Carnality but Christ

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. 🕊️

🕊️ Character of the New Man

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.🕊️

Colossians 3:1-17

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

🕊️ Our Final Victory

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

“O Death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?”

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 🕊️

1 Corinthians 15:54-58

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!

Praise God, sing with me, 🎶 Hallelujah, He is Risen! Praise the name of the Lord, Jesus, He is Risen, my Savior and Redeemer, Death is swallowed up in victory through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Hallelujah! 🎶

Now I walk in the light with my Savior, Jesus Christ, although my mortal body is flesh and blood, my spirit, which is rooted in the miracle of re-birth, not of the flesh, rather of the spirit, I have put on the incorruptible and have become a child of the light!

Father God, bless me with Your Spirit today, in my coming and going, may I walk in the light and cast Your light in the dark shadowy world around me, may the transformation of my mind and daily renewing of my Faith, may it be a testimony of Your Spirit working within me and may I walk with the full armor of God, may I face each challenge today with the strength and honor You give me, may I walk in Love and Truth, always, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

 I lift up All my loved ones; Friends and Family, may your Spirit move and work in and through them today, may they sense a healing work being done within them and may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them to the light and may they come to walk in the Way, may the become children of the light, Your children, may you keep them safe today.

🕊️ Where do wars and fights come from among you?

Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain.

You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?

Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 🕊️

James 4:1-6

From the end of the earth I will cry to You,

When my heart is overwhelmed;

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

A strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;

I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains;

Your judgments are a great deep;

O LORD, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!

Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,

And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.

For with You is the fountain of life;

In Your light we see light.

Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,

And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me,

And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. 🕊️

Psalms 5:36-11

🕊️ The Heavenly Sanctuary

But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 🕊️

🕊️ The Servant of the LORD

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,

My Elect One in whom My soul delights!

I have put My Spirit upon Him;

He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,

Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

A bruised reed He will not break,

And smoking flax He will not quench;

He will bring forth justice for truth.

He will not fail nor be discouraged,

Till He has established justice in the earth;

And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

Thus says God the LORD,

Who created the heavens and stretched them out,

Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,

Who gives breath to the people on it,

And spirit to those who walk on it:

“I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness,

And will hold Your hand;

I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,

As a light to the Gentiles,

To open blind eyes,

To bring out prisoners from the prison,

Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.

I am the LORD, that is My name;

And My glory I will not give to another,

Nor My praise to carved images.

Behold, the former things have come to pass,

And new things I declare;

Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

Praise to the LORD

Sing to the LORD a new song,

And His praise from the ends of the earth,

You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,

You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!

Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,

The villages that Kedar inhabits.

Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,

Let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Let them give glory to the LORD,

And declare His praise in the coastlands.

The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man;

He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.

He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;

He shall prevail against His enemies. 🕊️

Thank You!

Father, I can never imagine the depth of Your Existence, nor my place in Your thoughts of me and my life circumstances, but I do know this, that You fill my heart with Joy and You comfort my mind and fill me with Peace, giving me my Faith, that inner-strength of knowing and believing You are there and working Your will for my life and my every circumstance, You hear every one of my prayers.

I praise You my Lord, my Savior, my Redeemer, today and every day, with every breath I take, and every beat of my heart, my life is Yours and my mind is clear.

Use me this day O Lord, to bring glory to Your Holy name.

I lift up my Family before You O Lord, may they be safe and Your angels keep watch over them, I pray for healing for those who look to You today for healing, to those who are fearful and tremble, make way their path to You O Lord, that they may find You in the fray of life, and may they sense Your Spirit there to comfort them in their time of need.

Father, Bless All my children, my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may they have a ring of angels surrounding them, keeping watch over them, no harm may come to them or their loved ones, May Your Spirit work in and through them today, that they would see and know You are there with them and in them, they are Yours, they are children of the light, may they walk in the Way and their actions bring glory to Your holy name, Yahweh!

Today as I walk in my own threshing floor, may I honor You in my meditations, my actions, and every step I take, my thoughts bring me one step closer to You.

Bless me today Father, may I shine Your everlasting light, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another. 🕊️

John 15:11-17

🕊️ The Humbled and Exalted Christ

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 🕊️

Thank You!

O my Father, my God, Lord I lift my arms hight in Praise and Worship, to my Savior, my Redeemer, my Shepherd, my Friend!

You have opened my eyes to Your Word, and given me a thirst and deep hunger in my spirit, to follow You in the Way, to listen to every word, to look for every opportunity to serve and act on my Faith, where I am today and every day. Forgive me when I allow myself to be distracted, where I fall short, help me O Lord to regain my focus and remain on the path, which leads to life and everlasting Joy and Peace.

I lift up All my children before You Father, all my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, may You keep them safe today, may Your Spirit call out to them, may they truly see and accept the gifts You have for them to receive. Remove the scales from their eyes and put wings on their feet to follow in the Way today, send Your Teacher, that they may learn of You and Your Salvation, may they come to the light and become children of the light.

Bless the work of my hands today O Lord, may the fruit of my labor follow after Your will and Your Way, may I walk as Your child and shine Your light within me bright, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ I called on Your name, O LORD,

From the lowest pit.

You have heard my voice:

“Do not hide Your ear

From my sighing, from my cry for help.”

You drew near on the day I called on You,

And said, “Do not fear!”

O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul;

You have redeemed my life.

O LORD, You have seen how I am wronged;

Judge my case.

You have seen all their vengeance,

All their schemes against me.

You have heard their reproach, O LORD,

All their schemes against me,

The lips of my enemies

And their whispering against me all the day.

Look at their sitting down and their rising up;

I am their taunting song.

Repay them, O LORD,

According to the work of their hands.

Give them a veiled heart;

Your curse be upon them!

In Your anger,

Pursue and destroy them

From under the heavens of the LORD. 🕊️

I lift up my arms to You today O Lord, my hands open, my mind and heart attentive, my soul prepared to receive Your judgement, I don’t deserve the gifts You have for me. I pray Father help me to be worthy of the sacrifice of Your son Jesus, dying for my sins, help me to hold a mindset of service and devotion to Your will and shinning the Love, Grace, Mercy, and forgiveness, with others who are lost and living in the dark today.

🕊️ Unity Through Humility

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

🕊️ The Humbled and Exalted Christ

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Father, walking in the Way and living my life through the examples Jesus gave us, this has been difficult while going through the terrible trials and under the fires darts of the enemy, You have been faithful through All of the suffering, giving me the strength to go through every trial and every fiery dart.

Even in experiencing of the loss of our firstborn son Tommy, and later the loss of my son Judah, You were there through all of the pain and suffering, You brought my sweet bride and I closer than we have ever been, having seen clearly it was You who provided for our needs and our growth in Faith together.

Today Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may Your Grace, Mercy, and Love, be there for each of them as they live and go through each of the challenges they face, through the pain and suffering, Father, I pray Your Spirit comfort them today and strengthen them in and through all of it, may they stand as Your children of the light, and be as an example for the lost and those who walk in the dark, searching for the light.

Lord, Fill me today and as I put on the full armor of God, may I shine my light today, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. 🕊️

Thank You!

In as much as I can or may say, ”I am law abiding and follow all the rules.”, the actual fact remains, I fall short of that which I wish to portray myself.

When I first came into the knowledge of God’s eternal sacrifice for the world, for my sins, through Jesus Christ’s shed blood and life sacrifice, in my study of God, sin and his forgiveness, I pictured in my mind, God as pure white and ANY sin, no matter how small or insignificant, a bad mark or speck of darkness, which is still sin!

I found the term “Sin”, meaning falling short of the mark, so through Jesus Christ, I am made free of All of my sin!

My life was changed in an instant, I truly felt the weight of sin and guilt lift up and off my shoulders.

Father, may I forever and always remember that day and that hour.

I pray for All my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may they find the same path, receiving the Spirit’s call and accepting the free gift of God, Salvation and forgiveness of all their sins and becoming a child of the light.

Father, may Your Spirit fill each of my loved ones and bring them into the light today.

May I walk in the Spirit today, with my goal to shine the light of God outwardly, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

Selah

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;

God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;

He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The LORD of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah

Come, behold the works of the LORD,

Who has made desolations in the earth.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

The LORD of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Selah 🕊️

In the absence of time, attending the Wednesday morning men’s bible study, then having had eye surgery the day before, I neglected my posting for this day, however, I did not forget to lift You up in my mind, heart, and spirit O Lord!

I had completed my bible reading for the morning and setup my post, but I never returned to complete my final thoughts for my prayer.

Today I make two Postings, one to fill the gap for yesterday, and the other for today.

Father, I thank You for giving me clarity in my bible study, with confirmation from a few others in our study group. I pray Lord, that I might continue to sharpen my sword and be ever vigilant, sifting the words I read through the filter of the Lord, via Your scripture Lord and in fellowship with other saints, sharing my thoughts with my brothers and hearing their feedback. O Lord, I lift up the men in our study group, may Your Grace, Mercy, and Peace be upon them today, may the prayers we lifted up for others be heard and answered O Lord. It’s not a silly or joking matter to me, but I ask Father, for an improved memory of the names of the individuals I meet, specifically those I fellowship with and our dialog, sharing our lives with each other.

I lift up All my family Lord, All my children, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, Father, may Your angels watch over them and keep them safe, may Your Spirit lead them and may they receive the call to service as Your children of the light.

I pray, may All my children follow the Way and Your Holy Word Father.

I pray my life become a beacon for others to follow, and bring them to the light, Your light O Lord. May I serve You today with my All, and may I shine in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ I will extol You, my God, O King;

And I will bless Your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You,

And I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;

And His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall praise Your works to another,

And shall declare Your mighty acts.

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,

And on Your wondrous works.

Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,

And I will declare Your greatness.

They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,

And shall sing of Your righteousness.

The LORD is gracious and full of compassion,

Slow to anger and great in mercy.

The LORD is good to all,

And His tender mercies are over all His works. 🕊️

Psalms 145:1-9

🕊️ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. 🕊️

🕊️ 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 for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

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

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. 🕊️

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 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. 🕊️

May our spirit reach out to You today, may Your Holy Spirit accept the willing spirit and grant us all Your Peace.

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!

Praise Yahweh! 🕊️

🕊️ 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!

🕊️ He counts the number of the stars;

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ 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. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:

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. May You bless them today, keep them safe from all harm and may they know and sense Your Spirit of Love today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

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. 🕊️

Exodus 20:1-6

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!

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.🕊️

Romans 5:6-11

🕊️ Oh come, let us sing to the LORD!

Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;

Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

For the LORD is the great God,

And the great King above all gods.

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, 🕊️

Psalms 95:1-8a

Father, may I be filled with Your Spirit today, as I put on the full armor You provide me, may I walk in the light, as Your child, may I find the strength each moment of this day, to walk by Faith, trusting You with my life and all of its challenges, may I Trust You O Lord.

I lift up All my Family before You today, for healing for cousin Linda, for All my Family, may they find You in the darkness and lead them to the light of Your presence, may they trust You for All things and receive Your comfort and Peace.

I lift up All my children before You O Lord, All my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, may Your angels watch over them and keep them safe today, may they hear Your Spirit’s call and accept the gifts You offer them, may they walk in the light today, and join the many souls You call Your children of the light.

🕊️ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

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. 🕊️

Protect All my children today Father, All my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, may Your Holy light reach them in their lives where it matters to them, every moment and every wonderful blessing as they come.

Just as a child speaks their first word, or takes their first step, in Faith Father, I believe, in Jesus’ name, You will be there for them and they will begin their walking and talking, their journey of Faith with You and guided by the Teacher. May they each receive the gift You have for each of them, the best of all gifts, receiving Your Spirit in their inner being, in their soul.
