🕊️ ~~~ Brought Near by His Blood

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

🕊️ ~~~ Christ Our Peace

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

🕊️ ~~~ Christ Our Cornerstone

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. 🕊️

Hallelujah! 

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

My Lord and Savior, My Redeemer, Mighty God, Counselor, my Best Friend!

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

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

Thank You!

Hallelujah!

Father, I pray for Your blessing over me this day, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide my thoughts, in rightly dividing Your Word of Truth, and sharing of Your Word in context, without ordinances or precepts, rather in a manner for the edification of others desiring to follow Your Word and Your Way. 

May I shine my light and the words I speak, the actions I take, as a unifying force, bringing people together, rather than separate, especially those who are not like-minded. 

Father, may I do everything with a Peaceful outcome in mind.

Bless All my children today Father, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe in their coming and going, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, draw them near to You, may Your Word dwell in their hearts and minds, that they may sense Your presence in their lives and it help direct their steps today. 

O Lord, Jesus, I pray for Healing and recovery to those who are sick and suffering, may they be comforted by You and may You fill them with Hope, strength, and longsuffering, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I pray for Peace in the World around me, Peace in Israel, and an end to war with Iran, and improved relations with all their neighbors, may there be Peace with Russia, and with all others who think and believe differently, may there be found one common goal and grounds to work together, may Your Holy Spirit be present.

Lord, I pray for my own work, may I see it to completion today, may I shine the light You placed within me, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

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) 🕊️

~~~

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

Father, in my reading and meditating each Word, like cutting a piece of meat in my dish, just the right size to fit in my mouth, just the right temperature, the right taste, I want to chew and chew, until I have obtained the most of the flavor I can before swallowing. 

Then as I digest Your Word inside my mind and spirit, Your Holy Spirit quickens it back to my memory, over and over, Your Words, “I am Your Workmanship”, and my Purpose, “created in Christ Jesus for good works,”

Every step I take, every word I speak, all the energy I expend, giving my best effort, and through the Power of God, His Spirit, working in me and through me, my efforts are powerful, because I am His, Your Workmanship Lord, Hallelujah!

Thank You for Your Word Lord, it really makes my day, my year, and sets my feet on solid ground, I have one goal, in and through Love, making a difference, wherever I can.

…may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 

…the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, 

…what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 

…and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, 

…according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places 🕊️

🕊️ Bear and Share Burdens

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.

🕊️ Be Generous and Do Good

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. 🕊️

🕊️ Two Covenants

(Gen. 21:8–21; Is. 54:1)

Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 

For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 

But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. 

For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 

For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren,

You who do not bear!

Break forth and shout,

You who are not in labor!

For the desolate has many more children

Than she who has a husband.”

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. 🕊️

Galatians 4:21-31

🕊️ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! 

Walking in the Spirit

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 

Against such there is no law. 

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 🕊️

Galatians 5:13-26

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

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

My Lord and Savior, My Redeemer, Mighty God, Counselor, my Best Friend!

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

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

Thank You!

Father, Bless me this day, in my coming and my going, may I walk in the spirit of Your heavenly Grace, towards all men, and may I experience the Love only You can give, in my interaction with others, those in my Family and those I have yet to meet for the first time.

Father Fill me Your Spirit, and may I shine today as Your child of light, in the darkness all around us.

Bless All my children O Lord, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, reach into their hearts and draw them to Your light, may they learn Your Word, and walk in Your Way, may they become as children of light and shine today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” 🕊️

Galatians 2:19-21

🕊️ But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 

But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 

Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by Faith. 

But after Faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

Sons and Heirs

For you are all sons of God through Faith in Christ Jesus. 

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 🕊️

Galatians 3:22-29

Hallelujah! 

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

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

Thank You!

Hallelujah!

Jesus, Lord, I am blessed today to say, by Faith, in Believing, on the name of Jesus Christ, I have become a member of the Family in the household of Faith, sealed for redemption and the promise of eternal life, in Christ!

Thank You Father, that as I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, You hear my request and they too become members of the household of Faith. They are all sanctified by my Faith and Believing in Jesus Christ. 

So Lord, I pray for safety for my children, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide each one of them, according to the gifts and Grace You have bestowed upon each one. 

Thank You Lord, again, and may Your light within me shine bright for all those still living in the darkness, that they may find the light and the path to the Way, and Believe, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 

For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. 🕊️

1 Thessalonians 2:13-14

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

Thank You!

Hallelujah!

Blessings and Your Holy Spirit, Father, this is what I look for each and every day, to separate myself from the flesh I once walked in, You have renewed my mind and thinking, with a focus on living a life of service to the Lord and sharing His Love and kindness to others around me. 

My spirit is excited more each time I am able to help others or show Love and kindness to strangers, especially my own Family, where I believe it is needed.

Lord, may I continue to grow and increase in understanding, through Your Word and Your Spirit, may I sense the weight of each word I speak and every action I take in my walk with You O Lord.

Guide me O Lord, may I shine the light you placed within me and be as Your child, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 

that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. 

All things were created through Him and for Him. 

And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 🕊️

Father, You have blessed me with the heart of my Lord and Savior, which beats and pumps His spiritual life through me. Thank You Lord!

Father, I lift up All my children before You today, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they receive You in their hearts and lives, that they might be safe from the darkness of this world, so they may know and rejoice in knowing they are all children of the light and have a just and blessed reward, awaiting them in His kingdom, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Meeting Specific Needs

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. 

Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 

And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. 

And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. 

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

Bring Back the Erring One

Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. 🕊️

Praise God, I’m sharing this morning, one of my favorite quotes in scripture, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.“

As of late, and pondering my nagging drive to begin to write, I have been having the strong desire and determination, to write, only that which I intend to write has been unclear. The thought running through my mind, what reference or focus will it be. Thank The Lord, my prayer was answered last night and confirmed this morning, when ‘The Dream’ became a reality and now my writing focus.

I had not yet completed my Prayer for yesterday’s post, so I completed and submitted that post this morning, and in it I gave first mention of ‘The Dream’.

Now today I will continue with laying out the story and its tenets.

Father, I lift up my life, my heart and my spirit before You, I seek Your blessing on my day, before I begin, and as a clarification to all who read this, my primary focus, in all my endeavors, has to begin with prayer and worshipping my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Father, You are my single focus and my desire to please You in everything I do, may i do it well, may Your light shine in my endeavors and may Your Holy Spirit go ahead of my every step, my every word, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they stay safe today, may they receive the gifts You offer them and may they walk in Faith today, sensing Your Spirit and responding accordingly, may they shine as Your children and be a blessing to others, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? 

Certainly not! 

For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 

For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by Faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”🕊️

Galatians 2:17-21

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

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

Thank You!

Hallelujah!

Praise God, in all things, for the life I have and for the many things I have overcome, it is You Lord Jesus, whom is protecting me, it is You who lives and Your Holy Spirit, which lives inside of me today, that is what carries me through, that’s the “Journey”, the path to ‘enlightenment’.

I woke up from a dream this morning, and it is still with me, unlike never before, and on-going, with new scenes and drama unfolding, it’s like walking through my life being interrupted here and there with visions of another time and place in my life, like a parallel life in another dimension, I’m not quite sure I am even awake!

Lord, send one of Your angels to smack me on my side and wake me up from this dream and these visions!

In this dream I am a man of much means, not sure how much but it appears I am wealthy and beyond any kind of need or want. I have share my wealth with each of my children and at the beginning, I give them a choice to go their own way with their new life of unimaginable means, or come live with me and build a large commune in a new and beautiful land which man has not corrupted, not far from the rest of the world, yet obscure and at least a day’s travel in any direction from other people or life.

So my son Malachi and his family decide they would like to come live with us and so it begins, I am very excited, as is Amy, my sweet bride and Selah, my beautiful daughter, who are happy for me that my oldest son, once my favorite, has finally decided to reclaim his spot in my heart and join the effort to build something wonderful together, something with purpose.

Father God, as I begin to journal my dream, and come into more of the scenes in my mind, I pray Your Spirit guide me towards a purposeful story, showing All the avenues, consisting of every element of man’s journey, man’s struggles in many ways.

I lift up All my children before You today, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may they each acknowledge You in their own way, may they accept the gifts you have of life eternal, which You quicken in their minds daily, may they sense Your presence in their day, and may they find and enter the path towards the light and follow the Way, in and through all they say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 

For He says:

“In an acceptable time I have heard you,

And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 

But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 🕊️

Bless me this day, Lord, wearing the full armor of God, may Your Holy Spirit guide me in my walk and in facing my daily challenges, may I shine as Your child amongst the people around me and through it, may I lead people searching for Truth and the path towards the light.

Father, I pray for the people of Israel, Ukraine, and Iran, may Your Spirit of Peace dwell in their hearts, and be present in their meetings and draw them to follow a new path forward, a path of Healing, and of Love and Peace.

May the world witness the example set, of this Peace and may Your Spirit work in them, a desire to follow the same path Lord.

Today Father, I lift up my family before You, All my children, my grandchildren, and All their little ones, may Your Angels keep watch over them and may they be safe today. Bless them and fill them with Your Spirit, may they receive the gifts You offer them and may they be as Your children of the light, walking in Your Way, Hallelujah! 

Lord, I ask for many things today, not for myself but for others, may You hear my request and may Your answer be YES! May we all have a good day today, one of celebration of Your Peace upon us all, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Seeing the Invisible

Therefore we do not lose heart. 

Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Assurance of the Resurrection

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 

For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 

Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.🕊️

Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my Redeemer, bless me this day Lord, as I create this post to share with others, of the Hope of our Salvation through our Faith and Believing on Your Holy Name, Jesus. 

I pray today for a blessing of Your Holy Spirit, fill me with the strength I need to face my day, to meet the challenges before me, and maintain a disciplined mind and resolve through it all. I pray for the resolve, I pray for Your Spirit’s guidance.

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe today Lord, may Your Spirit protect them and lead them on the path towards the light, may they find comfort and Your presence working in their lives, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 🕊️

Father, God, may the witness of my confession and baptism, be a reflection of the work and ministry of Jesus Christ, through my life and my actions, may I shine Your light Lord, in the darkness around me. 

O Lord, may I be filled with Your Holy Spirit today and may I shine Your light, in and through my Faith and Believing in my Salvation, may my Faith walk be a beacon and light the way for others searching for the Truth, a well lit path to the Way and for some, one last hope, of Redemption.

Bless my sweet bride Amy and Selah today, as they travel away from home with a family member, keep them safe Lord, may Your light shine upon them, around them, in them, and through them, on their journey. May they be a blessing to others, a welcome sight, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ The LORD our God,

the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Lord Jesus, it is through Your Holy Spirit, and receiving the revelation of just how much Love and Strength go hand in hand, which keeps me on the path You have for me.

It’s not the journey that makes the days exciting, it is sharing it with my Family and loved ones, which brings the most joy and strengthens my walk of Faith!

Fill me with Your Spirit afresh today O Lord, and may my walk today with You be as the first time, like a child holding onto the hand of his Father, bless me today Father! 🕊️

🕊️ Jesus Warns of Offenses

Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 

Take heed to yourselves. 

If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” 🕊️

Faith and Duty

🕊️ And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 

And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 

But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 

So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. 

We have done what was our duty to do.’ ” 🕊️

Luke 17:1-10

Father, just as Your Word teaches, I stand before my brethren asking forgiveness when I have wronged them. I pray, Lord increase my Faith, and teach me to be more humble in my relation to my peers.

May I walk in the light with You this day and may Your Holy Spirit fill my mind, heart, and soul with Love, Grace, Mercy, and Peace. 

Above all, may my life and walk, reflect my deep commitment to You and shinning Your light in the darkness around me, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up all my children before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may You keep them safe today, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them in their walk of Faith along their life journey, may they be strengthened when they face life’s challenges and may Your Spirit give them Peace. 

May they sense Your presence in their lives and may they experience real Joy in the comfort of their salvation through Jesus Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;

And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,

And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

Incline your ear, and come to Me.

Hear, and your soul shall live;

And I will make an everlasting covenant with you. 🕊️

~~~

Seek the LORD while He may be found,

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

Let him return to the LORD,

And He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways,

And My thoughts than your thoughts.

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,

And do not return there, but water the earth,

And make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower

And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me void,

But it shall accomplish what I please,

And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Father, the more I see and experience the light and what it takes to partake of it, and shine it outwardly myself, in and through my life, the more I realize how much I am lacking in my walk with You in my performance. 

This evening, I lift up my heart before You Father, may Your Spirit fill me with the blessing of True Love, Pure Love, the kind that makes the Light to truly “Shine”.

I hope and pray this hour, Lord, You make me an instrument of Your Love, Your Light in the world.

Father my heart is heavy for All my children All the time, and I pray for patience and strength to continue, every day and with every prayer, hoping You hear my petition for their well being and their walk with You.

Father, I lift them all up before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they come to the light and become Your Children, may they walk by Faith and the power of Your Love, moving  in and around them every day, bless them now Father, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be

added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. 🕊️

Father, I’m learning to enjoy the moment, appreciate the things and people in front of me, every day!

Just two weeks ago, our family pet, Simba, who has become a cherished member of our Family, stepped wrong while at the park and he ruptured his left rear ACL.

This has been a burden on our hearts, and a concern for us, because even though this is just a hurt dog, we see and experience Simba never once whined or complained, he just started limping, he just accepts it, and learns getting by on just what he has, he still has the normal energy and excitement when he is around us and our coming and going.

I was with him at the WSU animal hospital in Pullman, WA., where they assessed what it will take for him to be well again. 

Our family has already discussed how we are committed to our furry family member, and our prayers continue daily for his healing and for God’s Grace, Mercy, and Peace be upon Simba. 

Simba is like a light glowing along the path, where ever he goes, making people smile and happy to meet him. He is a blessing and example of how God, wants us to be, in the face of all our daily challenges, simply trusting the Lord in All things, and continually moving forward.

I pray Lord, that we might learn from Simba, and learn to be happy and content to be alive, enjoy each moment, while we have it. Father, may we shine Your light for others to see and follow, and not seek to shine our own light.

I lift up All my children before You Father, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe today, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide their way into the lightened path, and may they learn to follow the Way, and be as children of the light, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

🕊️ Love suffers long and is kind; 

🕊️ Love does not envy; 

🕊️ Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

🕊️ Love never fails. 

But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 

For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 

But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. 

Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love. 🕊️

Lord, You gave me special gifts to see me through, You have walked with me and kept me safe, You blessed me with a wonderful Family, and You have blessed them entirely.

Thank You Father, for my life!

Thank You for Your Love and filling my heart with a burden to share Your Love within me with the world.

🕊️ In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️

🕊️ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 

“Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 

In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 

“This cup is the new covenant in My blood. 

This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 🕊️

The God of glory thunders;

The LORD is over many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful;

The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 🕊️

Bless me this day Father, that my mind and my spirit bear witness, as a little child, seeing through the eyes of Your Holy Spirit, Your last supper with the apostles, where You gave instructions on how to remember You, how to serve others around me with the memory of Your sacrifice for All our sin and shame, May I bless the Lord in all my ways today! Keep my feet on the path which leads to life everlasting, walking on solid ground in the house of God, worshipping You Father, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ 

Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. 

The soul who sins shall die. 

The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. 

The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

“But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 

None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 

Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord GOD, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?

“But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? 

All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die. 🕊️

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

Thank You!

Bless me this day O Lord, as I kneel before You, I am mindful of all my sin and where i have failed You. 

My failure and my sin is forgiven and I am released from judgement, because I have let go and given my spirit, my soul, over to Jesus, and His Grace, Mercy, and Love, washes me clean.

Remind me this day, as it dawns again before me, to follow Your Way and Your Truth, not forsaking Your instructions for my life and the path of Faith I walk in today.

I am clean by the Blood of the Lamb, free from the pain of my past life and the weight of the sin which was before me, and since my conversion to a life of Faith, I am Free from the judgement which awaited me.

Father, my path of Faith and believing has led me to this day, this hour, where I now, in my later years, hold up All my children, my grandchildren, and their little ones, hoping and praying to You O Lord, for their conversion, for their eternal walk of Faith, that it may be established and secured, with a passion to follow the Spirit’s lead, in the path towards the light of Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

Serving All Men

🕊️ For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. 🕊️

Striving for a Crown

🕊️ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 🕊️

Father, another day of blessings! 🕊️

Lord, in your Word it gives the example of bringing one’s body into subjection in order to be disciplined, I pray this for All mankind, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, wake up the minds and hearts of man, to see following Your Word, and Your Way, is a discipline worthy of our doing, both for our physical wellbeing, but most importantly, doing it for our spiritual wellbeing. 

Bless me this day O Lord, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, today, that i might walk in the light with You and lead others onto the path, which is in their best interest.

Many are the days I’ve filled my mind and body with useless things and wasted my days, once my Faith had come to me, i have been filled ever since, with a drawing towards the light, to read the Word of God or spend dedicated time in prayer for my children and their lives, their spiritual wellbeing. 

I lift up All my children before You Lord, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, reach into their heart and minds today, show them Your Love, Mercy, and the Joy of their Salvation, may they walk by Faith today, being strengthened by Your Spirit, to run their race to win, and discipline their minds and bodies in service to You, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust in You;

Let me not be ashamed;

Let not my enemies triumph over me.

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

Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Show me Your ways, O LORD;

Teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

On You I wait all the day.

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

For they are from of old.

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

According to Your mercy remember me,

For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.

Good and upright is the LORD;

Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

The humble He guides in justice,

And the humble He teaches His way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,

To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

For Your name’s sake, O LORD,

Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man that fears the LORD?

Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.

He himself shall dwell in prosperity,

And his descendants shall inherit the earth.

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

And He will show them His covenant.

My eyes are ever toward the LORD,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Jacob’s Vow at Bethel

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And he called the name of that place Bethel 🕊️

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

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

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

Bless me now Father, may I complete the work before me yet today and find the rest i need , may Your light shine upon me and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

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

And I shall keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;

Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,

For I delight in it.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things,

And revive me in Your way.

Establish Your word to Your servant,

Who is devoted to fearing You.

Turn away my reproach which I dread,

For Your judgments are good.

Behold, I long for Your precepts;

Revive me in Your righteousness.

Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD

Your salvation according to Your word. 🕊️

🕊️ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. 

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

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

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

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

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

May Your Spirit, instill in them a Faith to believe on the name of Jesus Christ, their Deliverer, may they see You Lord, in every Word they read from their bibles and every prayer they lift up before You, may they find comfort in Your presence as they pray today, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️

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

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

Bless me today O Lord, that I might shine and be a blessing to my Family, and even to the strangers I come across in my day, bless the work of my hands and the words I share in my blog, may Your Spirit go with them and bring them Your comfort and Your Peace, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 🕊️

🕊️ Free from Indwelling Sin

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

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

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

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

And His greatness is unsearchable.

And shall declare Your mighty acts.

Slow to anger and great in mercy.

And His tender mercies are over all His works. 🕊️
