Un-forgiveness or Offense

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 6:14-15 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Holding of un-forgiveness or offense in your heart.

Do not hold any un-forgiveness or offense in your heart against anyone. But, rather go to that person and confront them in person concerning the offense and ask forgiveness. Yes, even if it was they who offended you. You should not let the sun set on you with un-forgiveness in your heart. The Bible says it will give place to the devil! You as a Christian are to go them and ask forgiveness. We must not hold any un-forgiveness in our hearts. It opens the door to Satan and allows him to come and cause trouble. What is Jesus saying here? Notice that the two thoughts or sentences are connected by the word “but”, in other words one is dependent upon the other happening first. He’s telling us that if we hold un-forgiveness or offense in our hearts against anyone that God can NOT forgive us either! If God hasn’t or can’t forgive you, how can He answer any prayer that you offer up to Him? Having trouble getting answers to prayers lately? Let’s make a check, are we holding un-forgiveness toward someone? Let’s get our hearts right with God and with our brethren and our answers to prayer will come. BTW saying:”I forgive you, but I’ll never forget what you did!” is NOT forgiving and is still holding “Un-forgiveness!”

MY PRAYER…
Precious Father, thank You for giving me the power through Your Holy Spirit to forgive those who trespass against me. Thank You Lord, for forgiving me, for cleansing me of all unrighteousness through the precious blood of Jesus. Father, Thank You that with a pure heart You hear my prayers, and I know if You hear them You will answer them. Father, thank You for purging me and helping me to remove all un-forgiveness, strife, envy, and anything else that is not a part of Your Love from me. Thank You Lord for filling me with Your Love, Agape love for people.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Kings and Priests

And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:6 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Did you know that you and I are Kings and Priests according to God? I’m mentioning this again this week because I want everyone to get this revelation into their heart and soul. This is not something any man did for you, God did it through His Son Jesus!
Did you hear that, did you get the revelation of what that verse said? He (Jesus) has made us kings and priests unto God! It did NOT say like kings and like priests, It said: “And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father,…” Praise God, I know the end of the story, We win! We have been made priests unto the Most High God and kings in His Kingdom because of our faith in Jesus Christ and His grace unto us, not by anything else we can do. There are no works of the “Law” that can justify us before God. Only the Mercy and the Grace of God received through the Blood of Jesus. We have been (past tense) made His kings and priests to rule with and for Him in His Kingdom forever more.

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You for Your grace unto me. For taking what I was (useless) and making me a vessel worthy of Your honor and glory. For changing and rearranging my life into Your way of doing things. Thank You Lord that You have made me a king and a priest unto You. That I may be an able minister of Your Gospel to all the world .
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Royal Priesthood

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light: Once you were not a people [at all], but now you are God’s people: Once you were un-pitied, but now you are pitied and have received mercy.
–1 Peter 2:9-10 Amplified Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
We are a Royal Priesthood according to God! Do you know what it means to be a Royal Priesthood? We have been made into a royal priesthood, God has chosen us to be His Holy nation. Not acknowledged by some man as a saint! God has made us His Royal Priests! I didn’t say that God did in His Word!
We were created to praise Him and now He has called us out of darkness into His Kingdom of light. He wants us to shine forth with that marvelous light that He has given us through Jesus, His only begotten son. He took a people that were messed up, full of sin, walking around in the darkness that Satan has put forth and translated us into His Holy Kingdom. He has placed His Holy calling on our lives to do His will. We’re not talking here just about those in the 5-fold ministry (pastors and preachers). He is talking about every man, woman and child who has sold out to Jesus! How many of us will answer His call and be among the chosen? The chosen of God are those who answer His call. It’s our choice, anyone can be called, but will you be chosen? Will you answer the call? Jesus is on the “Main” line!

MY PRAYER…
Precious Father, thank You for calling me into Your marvelous Kingdom and for translating me out of darkness. Increase in me the knowledge of You, Oh Lord, that I may know the full calling You have placed upon my life. Take me Lord and do with me what You will, I have chosen to give myself unto You, I have made the choice. I have made the choice that You told us to make. I have chosen life! (Deut 30:19) Father take this earthen vessel and mold and shape me, put me into Your fire and burn up that which is not of You. Oh Lord, change me and make me worthy to do Your work. Thank You Lord that You have made me a royal priest in Your Holy Kingdom.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Only Two Commandments!

‘And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. “And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31 New King Kames Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
That’s right ONLY 2!
Jesus has given us only two commandments to follow! Read the scripture above again and again until you understand what Jesus is saying in it.

While most people think about only the Ten Commandments presented on stone by Moses, there were actually 613 laws or commandments in the Old Testament. No one could possible keep them all. Even just the ten! Now that we are living in the New Covenant Jesus has given us only two commandments to follow. Jesus makes it very easy for us, we do not have to remember a bunch of old laws. Get over it we no longer live by the 10 Commandments set forth in the Old Testament. Jesus did not do away with the old commandments, He simply stated if you will do these two new ones that I give you (as His Body, His Church) you will in effect fulfill the requirements of ALL the others. Jesus loves His Body like He loves Himself and all He wants is for us to demonstrate that love (His Love in us) to those around us always! Get out of the Old Testament and live life in the New Testament for Jesus!

Prayer…
Heavenly Father I ask You to help me understand the love that You have placed within me through Jesus. Help me Lord to live out and demonstrate that love to those I come in contact with on a daily basis. Lord, place within my heart Your compassion for Your people and help me Lord to be the image of You that You have made me to be.
In Jesus’ Name
Amen

Are you deceived?

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:8 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…

Don’t be deceived in what you are thinking or doing.

There isn’t a man (or a woman) that ever walked the face of the earth that didn’t have sin,save the man Jesus Christ Himself. This includes you and me! I don’t care who you are or that you say you’ve never sinned. The Bible says: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.(Rom 3:23)” And God’s Word (The Bible) is truth! For we were all born of Adam’s seed, who put mankind into sin, and we deceive ourselves if we say we have no sin or have never sinned. But, God (everybody say, “But, God “) in His great mercy saw fit to send His only Son to pay the price for us. He had to because there was no other way we could be made righteous before Him. His righteous judgment would have demanded our death. But, Jesus bought us out of sin, sickness, poverty, depression, bondage and whatever else you might need recovered from with His blood on the cross that great day over 2000 years ago. We must now walk (be renewed by) in the light of His Grace and Mercy. Receive what Jesus has already done for you and allow His Word to change and conform you into the image of Him. Yes, into the image and likeness of God Himself!

MY PRAYER…
Loving Father, thank You for making a way for me where there was no way. Thank You for showing me the sin in my life and making a way for my forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. Father, help me by the power of Your Holy Spirit to walk and live a sinless life from this day forward. Change me Lord and renew my mind in You. Help me to know that I have been cleansed with the blood of Jesus and been made righteous before You, through His righteousness. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Enduring Love

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.
Psalm 136:1 and 26 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Does your Love endure forever?
Our thanks arise from the nature of God and His glory, His goodness, His mercy, and His love that He has bestowed upon us and through our faith in Jesus placed within us. The very reason we give thanks is because God is good and His love endures forever, it is beyond decay, and it never fails. If we have given ourselves to Him and have become children of God, He has placed His love (AGAPE love) within us and it should endure forever. We should therefore exhibit His Love in everything we do or say. For His Love we are eternally thankful!

MY PRAYER…
Oh Lover of my soul, thank You for sending Jesus as the demonstration of Your love. I love You Father. I love You for who You are and what You have done. I love You for what You have promised. I love You for the blessings You shower upon me. I love You for giving me hope. I love You because You first loved me. I love You because You are worthy of all my love. But I confess that my love is not as strong as Yours, so please, fill me with Your love by the power of the Holy Spirit. Cause my love to be as Your Love is. In Jesus’ name I lift my heart to You.
Amen

Love Your Enemies

[Jesus said,] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:43-45 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Jesus says: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you!

We often talk about the privileges of being a child of God; forgiveness, salvation, a future in heaven with Him, healing for our bodies, prosperity, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and ultimate victory when Christ comes. One of the greatest privileges we get, however, is the opportunity to act toward those who dislike and hate us in a way that reflects the character and nature of God Himself. God is Love! Anyone can return hate for hate, but it takes a true child of God to return a blessing and a prayer for their enemies who hate and abuse them. The last bit of the above verse (since it is a part of the entire verse) also indicates, according to the Bible, that this action of loving, blessing, and praying for those who hate and despitefully use us is a necessary action needed to become a son (daughter) of God. “Faith without works is dead!” Works = corresponding actions, actions involved in doing the Word of God. Because in doing the Word of God do you work out your salvation through His grace, You become as He is.

MY PRAYER…
Father, thank You for loving me when I was still an enemy to You. Thank You for risking the death of Your Son to offer me the chance to accept or reject Your love. As You have promised, You are pouring Your love into my heart so I may love even my enemies as You have loved me. Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, help me to love everyone just as Jesus did and even now still does. Help me Lord to show that true AGAPE love to all I meet. Through Jesus, the gift of Your love, I pray.
Amen

Mind Control

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable; if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things.
Philippians 4:8 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you have total control of your mind, your thoughts?

Our actions follow our thoughts just like a heat-seeking missile follows the hot exhaust of a jet fighter plane’s engine. Therefore we must be very careful what it is that we are thinking on. God’s Word says take no thought saying. There is a very good reason for that, if our actions follow our thoughts, then we must be careful what we think on and then speak on. That means that when you speak something you have taken a thought and put it into action. Our words create a power that will bring to pass an action, be it good or bad depending on what was spoken. So in a day and age when so much of the things around us distract us, fills our minds, and trains us to find and dwell on the negative in life, we must aggressively think and pursue the character, the qualities, and the things of life that Jesus teaches us about and that He patterned His Life after. We must learn to get our focus off the negative things of this world and onto the positive things of Jesus in our life and in the promises of God for us. They’re ours, He has already given them to us! We need to make sure that every word that comes forth out our mouths lines up with God’s Word and not with the worldly things around us. For what proceeds from our mouth is the confession we make and is the thoughts we have taken to heart!

MY PRAYER…
Holy and Magnificent Father, thank You for being better than anything this world can offer me. Thank You for calling me out of this world and to a higher standard than the world accepts. Thank You for giving me the promise of a better future than any human can ever imagine. Thank You Lord for all things that pertain to life and Godliness. Thank you for giving me such a high calling through the blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ holy name I pray.
Amen

Open Heart Surgery

The word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
How often do you let God do major surgery on your heart (spirit man) as His Spirit uses the Word to encourage, judge, motivate, convict, correct, instruct, and inspire? So many people think their conscience is what they are hearing when they do something they shouldn’t or are about to. That’s not your conscience you are hearing, it’s the still small voice of God through your spirit man trying to get through to you. With such a great tool so readily at hand for most of us, let’s not let a day go by that we don’t let God use His Word on hearts. We may not always like what He has to say through His Word, but did you always like what your natural father had to say? What He does, He does because He loves us. No one, not even the Word, said being a Christian would be easy. It is a walk and a work that we must decide we are going to do, otherwise it won’t work for us.

MY PRAYER…
Almighty God, Heavenly Father, Your will is my heart’s desire. But I realize that I need to be fed more consistently by Your Word revealed in Scripture. I realize that I need to read, to meditate, to speak , and to do Your Word more and more every day. Lord, Give me strength and consistency in my walk with You through Your Word. Through Your Holy Spirit, inspire me to change what needs to be changed and to be blessed and encouraged in the areas that I need it most. I turn to You and rely on and trust in Your Word to point me in the way of life that You would have for me. Through Jesus I pray.
Amen
