The Blood Apr. 15

 

                 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.

Seeking Apr. 14

 

                 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.

 

Gain Apr. 13

 

                 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.

 

Clear Thought Apr.12

 

 

           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.

 

Self April 11

 

          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.

Earth Concerns Apr.10

 

                    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.

Real Death Apr.9

 

           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.
