Lord help us to love in a way that is patient and kind.

practice His presence

Prayer is the key to activating a full life in Christ. It is the key to being faithful and fruitful. It is the key to being who God desires us to be. Prayer is the key to entering into the Presence of God. It is best summed up in the words of Brother Lawrence.

'The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly, lovingly with Him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way. This is especially important in times of temptation, sorrow, separation from God, and even in times of unfaithfulness and sin.'

Prayer is always necessary and always needed. It is our lifeline to our Savior. Our refuge. It is where we draw our strength from a powerful and all-knowing God. Prayer is the key to a life that pleases Christ. In fact, if we don't stay in a constant attitude of prayer with God, we will walk in defeat. If we keep ourselves devoted to prayer and maintain an attitude of prayer daily, we will walk in the anointing of His precious Holy Spirit, and dwell in the presence of a holy God.

Prayer for Encouragement

Father, please encourage those who are struggling. Please give them strength and let them know your presence with them. Let them know that you are redeeming and using everything, even our small efforts. Help them to not grow weary in doing good, but to remember who they are doing it for. Amen

A Good Day for the Kingdom

1 Peter 1:13-17 (NLT)
¹³So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.
¹⁴So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.
¹⁵But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.
¹⁶For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”
¹⁷And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as “foreigners in the land.”

Father, you remind us through your Word that you have called us to think clearly, to be self-controlled, to live obediently, and to honor you with reverent behavior because you have called us to be holy. You expect our redemption to be expressed in true Christian living, and rightly so.

We thank you Father that not only have you called us, you also enable us by your Spirit and through your grace and mercy to be want you want us to be. This too is our desire: to honor you, to please you, to glorify you and to be a light of truth and hope in a world of darkness, despair and disillusionment.

We pray, Father. that this day will be a good for your Kingdom when your glory will fill the earth through the lives of your loving, obedient children.

We ask this in the Name of Your beloved Son and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Amen

You Do All Things Well

Lord Jesus, thank you that you do all things well. When we are in the valley, you are there with us. You comfort and encourage us, and bring beauty out of the ashes. When we are on the heights, you remind us that it is all of your grace. You are the First and the Last. You are everything to us. Amen

ANOTHER KIND OF SUPER SUNDAY

Millions will be watching a Super Sunday Superbowl game. Families, churches, friends will gather to celebrate this exciting event. There was another "Super Sunday" I would like to share for our Daily Prayer today.

"Lord o Life, I thank You for Your victory ~~and for making Your victory my victory. I praise You for life-giving power that can only be measured by the stretch of eternity, yet can only be comprehended by the tiny sanctuary of the human heart. I rejoice in the privilege of life and celebrate in Your presence the marvelous truth that the Christ who is alive forevermore has killed death. Give me courage to live in that life, to walk in that love, and to tell. Give me courage to let others know. In the grace of Christ I pray. Amen."

Come Holy Spirit

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever. -John 14:16 AMP

On Saturday January 19th my sister Eydie passed away. I ask that you might join me in praying for the Holy Spirit to come along side of my family and comfort us in our time of mourning.

Come Holy Spirit. Bring comfort to all who mourn. Especially help my brother-in-law Lou, my nephew Steve and my sister Nancy.

Come Holy Spirit. Restore joy to those who are in anguish of soul. Minister to all those who suffer. Answer the cries of those who hurt.

Come Holy Spirit. Strengthen those who are weak. Make your presence know to those who do not have hope. Restore those who have fallen.

We pray asking in the name of the God of all comfort and the savior of the world.

by their fruit

"Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them"

(Matthew 7:20)

Too many times we think prayer is insignificant in our lives, when the truth is that prayer is the MOST important part of our relationship with Jesus. Prayer is where we become intimate with our Savior. It is where we receive the power manifested unto the Lord from His Father. It is where we grow and where we begin to live and begin to bear fruit.

If we want to bear fruit, we must keep ourselves aligned with Christ and the best way to do that is to stay on our faces before a Holy God. Prayer is the answer to all of our questions and problems.

Father, I so desire to bear fruit of you in my life. Help me to keep myself humble before you. Help me to realize the importance and necessity of a consistent prayer life. Help me to seek you early. I love you with all of my heart and soul and want to be like you. Thank you for the empowerment of your Holy Spirit in my life.l

Amen

"Jesus was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd." ~~ Matthew 9:36

Father, may the focus of our lives never disrupt our ability to see others with the same eyes that Jesus sees them. Grant us Your heart. May we yearn to introduce others to You. We love You. Amen.

If you look through the eyes of Jesus, you will see a needy world.

Healing Power

Healing Power

Exodus 15:25-26 (NLT)
He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”

Father, we recognize that healing is by your power, and according to your will in accomplishing your purpose in our lives. All of this comes about as a result of our loving trust and obedience to your Word.

We know the truth and reliability of your promise in Romans 8:28 (NLT) … God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

So, today Father, we seek your healing according to your will and for your glory. This is a good day in which we will experience the power of your love perhaps in miraculous ways.

For this we thank you in the Name of Your beloved Son and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Amen
