A Human Struggle Nov.30

 

Righteousness and intelligence should go together when understanding the Kingdom of God principles. A person who guides only with intelligence, and no right doing, should be avoided. A person who tries to lead with righteousness and no moral intelligence cannot be trustworthy either. Raw Intelligence may only point to worldly conclusions. Alone, righteousness tends toward emotional captivity. Trust the person who uses both energies of moral intelligence [the universe stands behind ultimate truth] and righteousness [Jehovah God’s kingdom guidebook] to bridge any understanding in your walk with the Savior.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that the Holy Spirit speaks clearly and does not trick us with thoughts or emotions.

Today’s Process Nov.29

 

Your relationship remains a covenant with the heavenly Father. You experience crisis, at times, and then a proper connection because you initially formed a bond with God. But the process of growing keeps moving on and on. You are to give away a part of yourself each day in order to submit self to God’s kingdom. The kingdom of heaven thrives on continual growth. In a sense, you will not stop learning and developing when you pass from the earthly realm because a certain maturity continues throughout eternity.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the idea we keep discovering new things even after our bodies move through death to another realm.

A Reminder Nov.28

 

You want God’s relationship to become a natural condition. Then move to action. Everyday say some prayer for some other person, read and meditate on a scripture, put love in action, or give something away. Practice your commitment to the Savior Jesus and he can become as natural to you as the air you breathe.

Prayer: Lord, I want to remember to think of you first when I go about my day.

Beyond Your Past Nov.27

 

Jehovah always remembers your work exercised by faith. He knows your labor prompted by love. He sees your endurance inspired by the hope in his Son. Keep thinking and discovering present and future possibilities and do not spend time on past events.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, you gave us the ability to go beyond any of our present or past circumstances.

Persistence Nov.26

 

You may have seen a single plant push up out of the hardest concrete. The struggle the seed endures may be slow but the life in it remains certain. Up it pushes with what appears unexplainable life. The truth is a most powerful surge comes from Divine life-giving creation. You too are a seed. You can overcome the hardest challenges by claiming Holy Spirit life within. Remember:You are made in God’s image.

Prayer: Help us today face our challenges with Christ-like behavior.

Obstacles Nov.25

 

When doubt knocks on your door just say, “There’s nobody home. Only someone named faith lives here.” Fear hinders faith. Surrender all your hindrances and barriers between you and Christ. Obstacles and limitations only cause you to stay upset and become too centered with earthly worry. Anxious moments just breed more anxious moments. The Holy Spirit wants to continue setting you free. Give away those subtle snares that trap you. Just say: “Fear is not home.” Let the Spirit rule.

Prayer: Lord, help me be careful to give away my wasteful snares.

Which Faith? Nov.24

 

Faith becomes active, when you graciously accept and act upon, that to which you already believe. Trust your faith more and your trust in faith. For instance, The Prodigal son’s older brother let anger get in his way of forgiveness. Anger portrays nothing but hostile fear. Fear stands in the opposite of faith. Make conscious effort to trade your anger for peace because peaceful ease creates genuine faith. Then, practice adding to your faith motion, accepting you can endure, maintain self-control, and promote heavenly Father’s kindness with action to all humanity.

Prayer: Lord, help us avoid planning our lives from fear and doubt motivation. Help our fearful efforts embrace more of your love.

The First Cause Nov.23

 

When Jesus said, “I am the Way” he referred to the fact he is the first designer. He is the value center of the universe, the ultimate reality. See his power in the glow of a fire. Recognize his Spirit in the stirring branches of the wind. See him in the richness of the soil. See him in the sparkle of water. He is not these things in themselves. These things reflect that he is the Creator and first cause of these, like a mirror reflects and shows an image. He is the first beauty of all things.

Prayer: Lord, keep our eyes upon the divine beauty around us, instead of any fake beauty.

Compassion Nov.22

 

The heavenly Father can dispense goodness to anyone because He is all love. He sustains compassion for all He has made. His love-kingdom vibrates as an everlasting kingdom and will last throughout the generations. YOU do not have to earn it. He gives freely. Nothing stops His love energy, but in a person, rejection somehow wounds it.

 

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that everything you do comes out of your never-ending love.

Hope Nov.21

 

Think on a parable:

At night, picture yourself standing in a newly framed house with no roof overhead. You can still look up and see the stars. No matter how dark the inside is or how uncertain your surroundings are, look up. You may be assured; Jehovah Creator is still here.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your very existence. I will trust you are always here.

 

Associations Nov.16

 

Because you may not understand the connectedness of all things in the universe, the heavenly Father delights in working out every detail to honor your trust and commitment. His Holy Spirit will link with your needs and desires when you rest in Him. Start each day talking to Him and see what works out to your benefit. You may not see an application at first but keep believing in His connections. The journey can be its own reward.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the control and directions you give our lives. We would be totally lost without you.

Purification Nov.15

 

“Blessed are the pure in heart” (Mt.5:8) promotes keeping right relationships because those seeking heart purity are kind. One essential quality of the attempts of pure in heart shows awareness of consistent loyalty to kingdom circumstances. So, be more concerned about your opportunities to relate than your efforts to acquire anything that you think makes you more comfortable.

Prayer: Lord, sometimes it’s hard, but help me put relationships first.

Shyness Nov.14

 

For the believer in Jesus, fake shyness creates sham and pretense. A misplaced shyness may become an obnoxious form of emptiness because it develops from a misguided sense of a lowly self. It will paralyze any good works. Accept your actual worth in Christ, as part of God’s family, and be bold with assurance. Know that you have the Lord of the universe on your side in every situation.

Prayer: Lord, help me behave more openly with my Christian witness.

Giving Nov.13

 

Just a thought: Every time you give something, you may share in someone’s answered prayer.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me stay generous today with all things.

How big is God’s love? Nov.11

 

The Bible tells us that heavenly Father’s love has length, breadth, height, and depth. To this you are connected. His length remains His everlasting, non-ending being. His wideness shows His love as extending to all people what He wills for Himself and others. His height displays His power, so you can pray with all the energy of your spirit. His depth stands for wisdom of all the Spirit knows, gives, and grows within those who earnestly listen.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for helping us understand your all-embracing love.

Who and What is Jehovah God? Nov.10

 

Jehovah is the Creator and vibrates eternally by His natural love essence. Any true good a human can possess comes only from His gracious sharing.

Prayer: Help me know every minute your Grace says it all.

 

Love Core Nov.9

 

God loves you more than any other person or object that receives your highest passion. Your heavenly Father does not just do love. He IS love! He does not function without love essence and motivation. Everything that happens to you remains united with His love because you are in Christ, and He is in you. You may not always understand the process or results. On the surface, the immediate moment may seem harsh or unloving, but that’s because the whole picture of all the connections in the universe may be out of your focus. Exercise faith, let love work through every experience.

Prayer: Thank you for your special love. I don’t always understand but I need this every hour.

Spirit World Nov.8

 

Practice shutting out your taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing to fully hear the Holy Spirit. Your body will make noises and fight you on this. Go to a quiet place; with some method close your eyes; shut out all the noise you can and focus your thoughts out beyond this world. Let your spirit soar away from physical bonds. A small opening can happen among the blackness when you tear through the great rift between dark and light. Move in spirit through the hole and linger in My presence. This, then, may become your personal form of prayer connection. This is not magic, but Christ-centered concentration.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for continually teaching me ways to form other connections with you.

Durability Nov.7

 

Any work you want to be permanent must be done through the Holy Spirit, bathed in heavenly Father’s essence. All other efforts remain as temporary results. Search scripture and pray for who you are and what the Spirit wants you to do. Don’t just think of something and ask the Spirit to bless it. And keep in mind: Anytime a human shows weakness, God the Father has opportunity to become strong. The Kingdom of God remains a realm of service for all.

Prayer: Lord, help me not rush ahead of the Spirit’s focus.

Perfection Nov.6

 

When scripture says for you to be perfect even as Jesus’s Father in heaven is perfect [Mt.5:47-48], notice the verses before that deal with love. So, strive for perfection in your love. Love those that misuse you, those that misunderstand you, love your enemies. Concentrate on the Son’s love. Through him your love may be perfect even if your experiences and expressions of that love are not yet perfect. Don’t wait for a love emotion. Choose My love commitment. Remember, the Christ-like character you grow is on-going, not just a state of being. You continue a magnificent work in progress.

Prayer: Father, thank you for your astonishing love you share with us.

Perception Nov.3

 

The heavenly Father’s wisdom gives you better discernment and can help you make the right decisions to live the full life He intended. Ask to see His shared wisdom and through the growth learn respect for who He is, and your quality of trust will blossom. Your trust factor sustains your shield against the evil doers. Trust improves the shield and can keep you out of unnecessary trouble. Ask in every detail and watch your soul become enriched.

Prayer: Lord, I do pray for every word I use and your discernment to bathe each with your eternal wisdom.

Need Closeness Nov.2

 

One reason any believer needs a close walk with Christ every second: Sin resides permanently associated with the substance of one’s being. For now, you can do your part to get better by not letting temptation control you.  You can help control the urges to sin by calling on Jesus’ name and accepting his presence as a real person every moment you can.

Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, we can call on your name above all others at any time and know you hear and do the Father’s will.

Answerability Nov. 1

 

When Jesus said, “Lo I am with you alway” he meant for you to pay attention to all daily details you experience. Allow God to make any connections. He may break through to you at any minute because the time and circumstances can merge together for his immediate presence.

Prayer: Lord, increase my awareness of you and your incoming messages.
