Your body, as a
house, remains My home. Your house is My home as well. Turn no one away without
some little Love kindness. I, the Lord, may have sent someone to you, put in
the heart an impression to visit you. When you serve them, you serve Me.
Prayer: Lord, remind me to pay attention to any person who surprises
today. Help me honor you.
Joy is not just a
state of being but a process as well. You experienced the first real joy at
your salvation, the awe and wonder of unmerited favor, filled with love and
mystery. Now, joy needs to spread through a journey of discipline. With daily
practice God’s Word develops the joy of knowing, not just knowledge, but a
completeness to know the overall strategy of the Father in the spiritual realm.
Sometimes you will not feel the joy
because pain, doubt, or questions plague you. But if you seek heavenly Father
daily, you will reawaken wonder, praise, and the knowledge that you know that
you know God’s Will.
Prayer: Lord, flood my soul with your joy. Remove any negative that
blocks my true journey.
When you need
extra energy the most, look for a rising up inside. God's Holy Spirit, as your
plus energy, will remind you that
hope gives you power to love in the most desperate circumstances. Remember that
hope vibrates through the kind of faith which goes beyond fact-belief. . . in
that you act upon what you had faith in as if it were fact.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for love you gave us, so we can keep hope in any
hour of need.
When you feel yourself
off-center, stop and ask for realignment. Christ is your balance. To be
in balance with Jesus promotes the peace that goes beyond human understanding
and rests in the Creator. Just as a precision instrument needs all parts
working smoothly in cooperation with each other, you need body, soul, and
spirit vibrating in His harmony. This shows the true power of Holy Love. Only
God’s holiness gives you true holy.
Prayer: Lord, help us do our part to remove any disruptor that
would hinder harmony with you.
When
Jesus traveled through a town called Nain, recorded in Lk 7:11, some people
carried the body of an only son of a widow. Earlier, he died. One reason may be
Jesus’s heart went out to her because he was a son who would die but would be
raised, so he raised the boy from the dead. Heavenly Father would raise his son
from the dead. Resurrection surrounds us everywhere. We can live the
resurrected life now. Something must die for something to rise. The
Resurrection Principle vibrates all around us. Look for it as a reminder that Jesus’s
death actually conquered death.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us the Way to live again.
Think
on Jesus’s pure blood that was spilled for humanity. It has no decomposing
quality in it, no corruption. It cannot decay. [Psalm 16:10; Acts 13:37] Where
did it go? It has blanketed the universe, spread throughout eternity to cover
the sins of humankind forever. The blood is so richly pure that when one drop
fell to earth, it helped the reclaiming of creation. When Jesus took blood to
heaven, somehow he layered it throughout the heavenly bodies. When it was shown
to hell, it announced His true salvation. Like gravity or the unseen, Jesus
blood stays cleansing even today, vibrating for renewal until He comes again.
Prayer: Lord, I remain in awe of your gift and stay humbled by your
sacrifice. Words are not enough. Take my heart and blood always. Thank you,
thank you for the blood.
Seek you first
the kingdom of heavenly Father. Look for life (anything that promotes God’s
life-creations) in the smallest events or in the largest decisions to be made. The
Holy Spirit will sharpen your senses, when you seek and then obey. Following
Holy Spirit will show you the Love for motivation, the path of the kingdom
road, and the resources available. God’s answer is YES! He will help conquer
your fears and doubts. He will show you heavenly principles joining the earthly
creations.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for your continual watch care and the magnificent
promises you place within our thinking.
Often. . .
.You try to get ahead. Instead. . . get- a- heart, that which you have dedicated
to the Christ. Any gift to heavenly Father,
whether large or minor enhances the kingdom. Even tiny gift upon tiny gift upon
tiny gift, given in true Love, will support the foundation of what was begun
from the beginning. Count the gains of this world as loss by giving them away
to the heavenly Father’s glory.
Prayer: Lord, help our vision stay
directed toward your light and your love. Help us live the Resurrected life
NOW.
You can get so
blinded by the attractions of the world that you see only through foggy lenses
because you get distracted. Concentrate more on watchfulness. Seek clarity.
Clarity is linked with your alert ability. Alertness comes by your permission. Ask
for God’s Light that clears away the fog. Your spiritual lenses can be cleaned.
The true perspective is to see through God’s eyes, the windows of eternity.
Prayer: Oh Lord, I want to see clearly what
you would have me be and do.
One reason
Heavenly Father sent his Son is to reaffirm a
Kingdom free from the trappings of self-centered rule.
We are a part of a new race of people. We are given strength to out-
love, out-think, out-hurt, out-give, out-live the finest worldly
intellect.
We do this through humble faith and grace given by the Holy
Spirit.
When the world says: Revenge, you say Forgive. When the world says reason only, you see through Jesus’s eyes. When the world says: Suffer, you say hope for Jesus’ sake. When the world says: Give in your own name. You say give for the sake of the Father’s kingdom.
Then, your new wisdom
will confound the intellects of the
world, and they will
ask: “By what authority do you speak? And you
may then share God’s Grace with them. The Holy Spirit waits for
you.
Prayer: Lord, help me share who you are in every opportunity.
With conscious
effort, let go of worry about earthly functions. Consciously discover how to
appreciate worldly things without the need to own them. Meditate on their individual
beauty. A flower shows its individual beauty to anyone looking. To feel you have
to own a thing tempts you to be possessed by it. Appreciate, then let go. If
something holds you stronger than a kingdom principle, it may control you by
blocking Jehovah’s path, slowing personal growth for you.
Prayer: Lord,
help us remove those false issues and possessions that try to consume us and
control us.
Must we come so close
to Death? Must we really believe we will die
and leave this earth before we can truly say: "God’s will is my will, not
my will but God’s will be done?” There are many deaths in our life. We need to
die to the false self that wants only what it wants. In a sense, even die to material
blessings---give them away. Die to any one thing that separates us from learning
and growing toward Yahweh.
Prayer: Lord, help me understand the
little deaths every day I must face, so I can turn my full will over and live
for you.
Evil [ backwards
to L I V E ] has no omnipresent beingness like Jehovah. Evil disguises
half-truths of the one negative being who wants you to think he is just like
the true heavenly Father. Satan in nature [sin] wants to corrupt your nature.
He and his followers try and constantly challenge you. Everyday sins that
result from Sin-nature are actions that tell lies about the quality of life. Evil
remains temporary in nature [comes and goes], faking a shallow selfish love. It
leads to destruction of any clear, peaceful view of heavenly Father’s love. Jesus,
the true Counselor, will bear your burdens. He covers all sin by his physical
and spiritual sacrifice. He is the accurate one who maintains omnipresent
ability, the constant work of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Thank you Lord, for
conquering all negative forces in life and replacing them with your
load-bearing love.
Miracles do not always happen ‘right
now’. They often move over periods of your time---step by step---reaching for
Jehovah’s holy conclusion. This example shows the constant perfection and
consistency of the Father to work all things simple or complicated. Our minds
are not large enough to see all, but Jehovah continues to make a moral universe
that does what is right; it’s just that staggered human decisions chip away at
God’s timetable. A mystery remains: He allows this. But He still gives us a value intelligence,
when we look to know what is right. And if we prayerfully ask, He protects us
through His Son Jesus.
Prayer: Lord, I do trust that you work all things for your right
purpose which includes us.
Trust…. Heavenly Father loves
you completely….Still, when you experience emotional pain, like anger, it boils
within you. It is a reaction. The Father’s Love-light fights against any
darkness in you. What you may think is God’s wrath is His love showing you the
weakness of sin. Your anger promotes hostile fear. It comes from missing the
point. It comes from expecting the wrong things from God, like punishment. Jesus
already paid for any anger you’re feeling. Divine love remains, no matter what!.
Remember, divine love has an extra healing energy.
Prayer: Lord, thank you and help me recognize your calming love
and care.
Believe the fact…You
have all the power you need. Remember, the actual scripture words of the
heavenly Father have power to carry out what they say by putting into action
what is said. The words are not just for information, although that happens.
They are given for us to absorb and embrace emotionally, taking them into our
lives so that the words start to read us! Watch what the Father has already
achieved. Our job is to pay attention and plug-into what has already taken
place in the Kingdom around us and then grow personally as new issues evolve.
Let the kingdom of God ideas intermingle with your personal little kingdoms. God
gives permission for you to rule over certain things.
Prayer: Lord, help me understand the power
of your words and discover any application to my life.
Remember, that as
a follower of Christ, you continually practice forgiving by actually living it. The life-action means you must concentrate on as much mercy as
you do justice. This may mean you become more aware and practice more mercy, even to yourself. When depressed
and allowing deep depression, you engage in too much judging of self and
others. The judging feeling leads to despair. Despair promotes a hidden pride-attitude
which blocks the opportunity for any forgiveness. Accept more faith in the One
who unerringly delivers enough faith and forgiveness, at the same time!
Prayer: Lord, help me today to see the bright side of your kingdom, moving
along with events that drag us down.
Listening to another does
not mean consent to all said. True listening means to
wait and hear, and sometimes it’s a verbal machine gun of words, to give your
presence the best you can.
Focus all your senses, then….
~Listen without correcting.
~Listen for another’s pain.
~Listen without envy.
~Listen without predicting.
~Listen without mental argument.
Practice NOT wanting to have the last word. Truly hear another’s
concerned story.
Prayer: Lord, help me listen to you first then shut
off self-talk for longer periods and listen fully to others.
Heavenly Father
encourages a generous heart---generous with spirit, generous in attitude, generous
with thought, generous with time or money. Stop, think and consider. Design all
your resources around the economy of giving because sharing is the avenue for
Jesus followers along the Jesus Way. Generosity feeds the spark for the light of God’s love. His light declares the
light of wisdom. His wisdom lives in charity.
Prayer: Lord, help me be generous, not only
with money but with my time, any talent, and all I can give.
