Being An Overcomer

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser (the devil) of our brethren is cast down, which accused them (brethren/saints) before our God day and night. And they (brethren/saints) overcame him (the devil) by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 12:10-11 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Are you an overcomer?
Who was cast down from heaven? The accuser (the devil, Satan) of our brethren and all those angels who had chosen to follow him, roughly a third of the angels followed the devil. Not us, not the saints, we were not cast out! How did we overcome the accuser? By the Blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and by the word of our testimony in and through Jesus. The real power came from His Blood, that’s where we received the power to make and share our testimony, after being cleansed by His Blood. Have you been cleansed by Jesus yet? Have you made Jesus the Lord of your life? It’s not enough just to go to church, you must accept Jesus as your Lord.
Are you victorious, an overcomer, washed in the Blood of Jesus?

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, thank You that the accuser has been cast down. That he no longer has any authority over us who believe. That You, Father, through Your Holy Son have redeemed us, bought us back, and set us in heavenly places with Jesus. That we have been raised high above the powers and principalities of darkness and translated into Your Kingdom of light. Thank You Almighty Father for access into Your Holiest of Holies. Thank You Lord for access to all the promises in Your Word by the Blood of Jesus.
In Jesus’ Holy name and by the power of His Blood I pray.
Amen

Have you been reconciled by Jesus’ Blood?

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians 1:20-22 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Here we see that the “Blood” of Jesus has reconciled us to God (brought us together as friends.) His Blood has first satisfied the broken Law (Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;) and remitted (paid the price for) our sin. Then secondly it has satisfied our guilty conscience. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus can do this for us – nothing else! There is NO other Way! We see in Hebrews 9:14, How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?. If we understand the power of the “Blood” of Jesus we have no reason to have a guilty conscience or to have conscientiousness of sin any longer once we have received Jesus as our Lord and Savior. He’s already paid the price in full. Not that we are free to continue to sin, but if we do sin He has already cleansed us. We just have to ask for forgiveness from our hearts and it is done for us.

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, Most High God, thank You for reconciling me to You through Jesus’ Blood. Thank You Lord for the awesome cleansing power of His blood. Thank You Lord for purging my conscience of dead works and of a sin nature. I thank You Father that I am now the righteousness of You in Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name I give You All Glory and Honor forevermore.
Amen

The Blood of The Lamb?

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
Exodus 12:13-14 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are you covered by the Blood of the Lamb?
Here God is telling us that because of the blood of the lamb that was placed on their doorposts He will cause the Angel of death to pass-over them and their household. They will not be affected by the death plague. But any doorpost that does not have the blood of the lamb on it He will allow the Angel of death to strike their firstborn, both of them and of their livestock. One thing here that is very important for you to note – It is NOT God who is striking the first born, it is the angel of death. God did NOT do it! But He did allow the angel of death to do it. But, he still in fact gave them a way out, a way to protect themselves with the blood of a lamb. That was then and today it is The Blood of Jesus that covers and protects us now. Jesus, The Lamb of God!
God tells them to make this day a memorial and to keep it throughout their generations. He is saying; “remember that which I have done for you!” This was Old Covenant – this was for the Israelites, the Jewish people, God’s Chosen ones. But, we have a much better Covenant now! Under the “New Covenant” Jesus has covered all of mankind with His precious Blood. The only thing necessary to be covered by it is to make Jesus your Lord! No other work or works are necessary, just believe in Jesus. It’s so easy! The Blood of the Sacrificial Lamb, shed once for all my sin and for my forgiveness. His Blood shed once for all will be my daily pass-over from now on. We need to remember what Jesus did for us! We need to put ourselves under that Blood each and every day.

MY PRAYER…
Abba Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be the Sacrificial Lamb for me. Thank You for the shedding of His Blood that my sin might be washed away, forgotten, cleansed by His blood. Thank You Lord for putting me in remembrance of what Jesus did for me. That through Him by the washing of His blood I have been made the righteousness of God in Jesus. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen

Wonder what to wear to that special meeting?

As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you ever wonder what you need to wear to that special meeting? Paul reminds us that we have a set of clothing that is always in style no matter what the meeting or with who. We wear this clothing because we are God’s special people, a chosen people. This clothing is from the “Ultimate Designer’s” collection and is called ‘God’s Character’ and is best worn when we are with and around other people. These qualities are hard to wear, but always a blessing to those who meet us when we’re decked out in His wardrobe. This is the Robes of Righteousness given us through the blood of Jesus. Wear them proudly, but with humility and meekness.

MY PRAYER…
Abba Father, thank You for bringing me into Your family. May I never disappoint You in the way I treat others. May they see in me the qualities of character that can only be attributed to Your presence in my life. Father thank You for giving me Your Robes of Righteousness, may I wear them in a manner worthy of You. To You be the glory and the honor, forever and ever, through Jesus my Lord.
Amen

Separation from God

I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor the future, nor powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Separation is something we fear whether it’s from a child, a parent, a sibling, a spouse, a friend, or from God. Paul explains here that, because Jesus bore our separation from God, by becoming our sIn and going to the cross for us we do not have to face that separation from God. On the Cross that day He experienced our separation from God as He cried out: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” He had never known separation from God before that time. We can know we won’t ever have to be separated from God’s love if we are in Christ and Christ is in us, unless you choose to separate yourself from God. There may be physical separation but I believe that nothing, no not anything, can separate me spiritually from the love of God toward me. Jesus paid the price for me, He made the way for me. A way I could not make for myself, nor you for yourself!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, thank You for loving me so much. Thank You for giving me the promise that nothing can separate me from Your love. Please continue to fill me with your Spirit and make me more aware of Your accompanying presence in my life each and every day. Lord help me to understand the things that I do not, so that I can grow more and more in Your Love. Father, give me both the want to and the power to be able to love as You love.
I pray in Jesus name.
Amen

The True God kind of Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Love does not focus on me, myself, or I. But instead, love focuses on others. Love focuses on someone else besides me, myself, and I. Each of these qualities of love in the scripture above is based upon an affectionate, compassionate, and forgiving attitude that regards others of value and not just self. It is an unconditional love, just like God’s. You can NOT tell someone you forgive them for something and in the next breath say, “but I’ll never forget what you did!” You’ve just kept a record and love doesn’t keep records! God’s Love is unconditional love! Did you ever notice that in the middle of “sIn” is a big I!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, teach me to notice others and value them just as You do. I know You loved me when I was not lovable, and redeemed me when I was not worthy. Help me to take my eyes off myself and see others as You see them. Help me to love others as You love ALL.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Simple And Basic

We love because God first loved us.
1 John 4:19 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
It’s all very simple and very basic really!

God is love. He is its origin, example, and architect. I love because He loved me first. I know how to love because He has demonstrated it to me. I can love because He made me to have His image and likeness, and He gave me His Spirit and His character and because He lives in me His love is also in me. He is the fountain, the motivation, and the pinnacle of love. I love because He does, first, last, and always. And His love is unconditional Love, you don’t have to earn it! He just loves us.

MY PRAYER…
God of all comfort, thank You for comforting me with Your love. Just as a child learns from parents how to do so many things, I want to learn to love as You do: sacrificially, selflessly, and submissively. That others may know that they do not have to earn Your love, only receive it. I want to learn to love as You do: that others will see You in me. Help me Holy Father, to be more like You every day. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Are You Still Trying To Out Guess God?

“My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are you still trying to figure out God, to out guess Him?

No matter how hard we try to perceive God and perceive what He has for us, He is still God and we are not. We must forever remember that the original, and still primary sin was to try to become God through rebellion & disobedience. Lucifer (now known as Satan, Lucifer is not and does not refer to the Devil or Satan, it refers to a beautiful Archangel before he rebelled!) thought that he had become as God and was greater than his Creator. We must never become like that. We are to submit to His will for our lives and do it His way. We are to know God, but we can never fully know all of His thoughts or become what He is. We are to take on His character and His image, but we cannot become Him. God knows the ‘Big’ picture for us, we only know in part as He allows us to see. This is both exciting and frustrating. But the promise remains that one day we will see Him as He is.
Quit trying to figure out God and just remember, He is God!

MY PRAYER…
Most loving Father, thank You for being so patient with me when I cannot fully understand and appreciate Your Holy character. Thank You for sending Jesus so I can know You better and trust You to know me better than I know myself. Thank You Father for allowing me to come boldly into Your presence and into Your throne room. Father, continue to reveal Your thoughts to me as I go through life, that I may know Your perfect will for my life. Through Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, I offer my thanks and praise.
Amen

The Real Commandments

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:37-39 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you still live by the Law?

Some things are just not very complicated, but we try to make them complicated by our own thinking. Living for Jesus can be boiled down to two very basic principles according to Jesus in the Bible:
1. Love God with everything I am and have.
2. Love others and treat them as I would like to be treated.

These are not too hard to understand now are they?
You ask: “What about the 10 Commandments, am I not supposed to keep them?”
My Reply: Well, that was the Old Testament, That was really for the children of Israel not us, before the new and better covenant that Jesus made for us with His Blood. But, Yes we are. Jesus said in Matthew 22:40: “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” He was saying, if you keep these 2 simple new commandments I’ve given you, you will fulfill all of what is written in the “law” (the Law is really more than 10 Commandments, there are actually 613 of them). I don’t live by the Law, I live by the 2 commandments given me by Jesus. Which, by the way, satisfies ALL the requirements set forth in the “Ten Commandments” anyway, plus the other 603 laws in the Old Testament law!

I pray that it is pleasing and a sweet smelling aroma to You. Continue Father, to place Your love and compassion for people into my heart that I may become more like You every day. Help me to be more of You and less of me. Through your only Begotten Son, my Lord and Saviour Jesus, I pray.

The Beginning

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:1-3 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
What was the beginning of the Earth?
Have you ever given any thought to what that beginning was? I don’t mean Darwin’s Theory of evolution either! I don’t mean the “Big Bang Theory”. I mean the very beginning before there was anything, before the misinformed Darwin existed. Before there was anything that we know of, The Word WAS! The Word was with God in the beginning and He was God, in the beginning the Word was whatever God spoke! The Word was not already written down somewhere on scrolls or tablets or stone. God spoke forth the Word and what He spoke came into existence. The faith filled Word-seed that God spoke went forth and the Holy Spirit acted upon it and the supernatural power of God caused something to happen in the natural realm. It wasn’t some ‘Big Bang’ as science theory tries to proclaim. The Bible also says that nothing that was made came about without Him (the Word). Verse 2 says the same was with God in the beginning. The Greek word used here is “houtos” G3778 in the Strong’s Concordance and it’s possible meanings are: the he (she or it), –he (it was that), hereof, it, she, such as, the same, these, they, this (man, same, woman), which, who. Notice the Greek implies a person. This same (“houtos”, the He) , the Word, was with God in the beginning. Now let’s jump ahead and look at verse 14 of John 1 and see who this “houtos” was. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Praise God, Jesus (the Word) was with God in the beginning, it was He Who formed the worlds, because He was the Word! And now God has given us His Word by divine inspiration through holy men of old, written down, to guide us each and every day. Because He wanted His Word with us always.

MY PRAYER…
Heavenly Father, I pray that You will reveal unto Your people the true image of Jesus, the truth of who He really is. That You would fill our hearts with the knowledge and truth of Your Word as we read and meditate on it. That You would quicken that Word within our spirits that we might be alive unto You even as Jesus was in the beginning. Father help us to become as living Word unto You. Help us to be what You would have us to be, and to do what You would have us to do on this earth as we complete the ministry given us here on earth.
In Jesus Name I pray.
Amen
