The Blood of Jesus

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)…
Are you Washed in the Blood of Jesus?

Here we see that the “Blood” of Jesus has reconciled us to God , not our works or anything we have done. 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 our sin. Then secondly it has cleansed our guilty conscience. We can see this 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 past sin any longer once we have received Jesus as our Lord and allowed Him to take over our lives, thus becoming our Savior. And we have no reason to try and do good works to receive our salvation. The only way to cleanse us of sin is through the Blood of Christ – there is NO other way period.
He’s already paid the price in full for us, just receive it!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, Most High God, thank You for reconciling me to You through the “Blood ” of Jesus. Thank You Lord for the powerful cleansing power of His Holy Blood, able to wash me “white as snow”. Thank You also 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 and through Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name I give You ALL Glory and Honor forevermore.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Friday October 6, 2023

Be delivered from temptation!

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Rev 3:10 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Be delivered from temptation!

God’s promises, this one spoken through revelation to John, promises that He will deliver us (His Children, the Church, Christians, not cults, other religions, religious folk or the world) from temptation. Temptation which Jesus says will come upon ALL the world. No one will be exempt, all will be tempted of the devil. But He promises if we keep the Word of His patience He will keep us from temptation, deliver us from temptation. What is that word of His patience? The very Word of God, hidden in our hearts, written upon our hearts and believed by every bit of spirit, body and soul that we are – to be true. If you are waiting for God to speak to you pick up your Bible and read it. He speaks His ‘Word’ to us through His Bible.

MY PRAYER…
Most Holy God, I give You praise and glory forever. Father I thank You for promising to deliver us from temptation. I know that You are not a man that You should lie and that what You have promised You are able to and You shall fulfill. I thank You Lord that through Your Word I am an overcomer, for the Greater One lives within me. And I have the Comforter, the Guide, the Teacher, the Counselor, and the power of Pentecost through the Holy Spirit that Jesus poured out on me living inside of me. Father, thank for Your Word. In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Thursday October 5, 2023

Can’t Be Tempted?

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Cor. 10:12-13 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
So you think you are above temptation, think again. Read the verse above again, It says you will be tempted. It is whether or not you fall for it. Even Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness! You think you are better than Him? Better yet, take heed, Jesus warned His disciples: “Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(Matt 26:41) What did they do? They went to sleep instead. Temptation is common to man, God knows that, that’s why He says that when temptation comes He will make a way to escape so that you may be able to bear the temptation. Notice God said when, not if temptation comes. That word suffer (KJV, is from the Greek) actually means allow (NKJV), God will not allow you to be tempted more than you can bear. God does NOT say that He brings the temptation, as many have interpreted this verse (The Word says God will not tempt any man!), but that when it comes He makes a way for us to escape it. That way is His Word…get to know His Word. Meditate His Word and put it in your heart, for out of the abundance of the heart flow the issues of life! (Proverbs 4:23)
So you think you are above temptation, think again.

MY PRAYER…
Father, I desire that I might be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that I might walk worthy of You, being pleasing and fruitful in every good work, and increasing always in Your knowledge. That I might be strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness and being delivered from temptation. I give thanks unto You, Father, who has made me able to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. I thank You Father for delivering me from the power of darkness, and for translating me into the kingdom of Your dear Son. In the Holy name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen

The Only Door!

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:7-9 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
There is only ONE way that leads to the Father in heaven! Jesus makes it pretty clear that He and He alone is the door through which we must enter. That all those others (cults, Indian Lore, the occult, Wicca, New Age, Harry Potter type things, religions and religious doctrines, professing Godliness but lacking fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ) are but thieves and robbers trying to steal away our salvation. There are many who even try to call themselves Christian religions, but without that fellowship with Jesus, without making Him their Lord, they are not and can NOT be Christian. They may know about God and Jesus, but they do NOT KNOW HIM personally. You must believe in and confess Jesus as your Lord to be a Christian, for by no other name shall man be saved than that of the Lord Jesus! There are NOT many ways to get to Heaven or to come to God as some like to profess. They are liars and of the devil himself. There is ONE God, ONE Heaven, and ONE Way, the Lord Jesus. Everything else is false. I didn’t say it, the Bible did.
Be Sure You Use The Right Door!

MY PRAYER…
Almighty God, Heavenly Father, I confess that sometimes I forget who to listen to. That I forget to reach for Your opportunities and Your concerns. To press into the things of God through fellowship with Jesus. Lord change my heart into a heart that yearns to live life in all its fullness by seeking after Your will, Jesus’ example, and the Holy Spirit’s leading in my decisions today and always. God help me to increase my fellowship with You through my fellowship with Your holy Son Jesus more every day. In the name of Jesus I pray.
Amen

Temptation Controls

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Tim 6:9-10 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Don’t let temptation take control of you

Temptation comes in many forms, but the most common in this country (USA) is that of seeking riches, followed closely by sexual lust. We are so caught up in having the very best of everything that we have forgotten our first love, we have forgotten who has made us what we are, Jesus. The Bible didn’t say the money or riches itself or even having money was evil, it said the love of or the lust for it is the root of all evil. The Word does NOT say that money is evil, It does not say that you can’t have money or even that you can’t be rich. It says it is the lust, the overpowering desire, or the greed for money that is evil. There is nothing in the Word that says Christians must be poor! In fact, my Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills and the streets of Heaven are made out of gold. That does not sound poor to me. It says that this love or lust for money will open the door for the greatest tempter there is to come and tempt you and steal from you. You have strayed from the Faith when you lust for money. It’s okay to have it, just not to lust for it. It’s time to get your eyes back on Jesus and have faith in Him, remember who gave us the ability to get wealth. God said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33) What things was he talking about? What to eat, what to drink, what to wear, the things we need in life, etc. So we won’t have to lust for money. (Phil 4:19 KJV) But my God shall supply ALL your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. What part of ALL don’t you understand?

MY PRAYER…
Father, I thank You for Your Holy Word. I thank You Lord that for every temptation, trial, or test that comes our way, You have an answer, a way of escape. You do bring the temptation, but you provide a way for us to escape it. You have given us through Your Word everything we need for this life if we will only hear it and obey it. Thank You Lord that You know all of our needs and You promised to meet them if only we would seek You and Your righteousness first. Help me Lord, to make my life a reflection of Your Word. To live my life like Jesus did, who both proclaimed and lived Your truth. In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Monday October 2, 2023

Encouraging One Another

Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you know how to encourage one another, or do you do the opposite?

We really need to take note of what Paul is saying here. We live in an age where we are constantly pressured to emphasize the novel, new, or improved versions of things. They’ve outlawed the Word of God in our schools and instead teach the “New Age” movement or ‘Harry Potter’ witchcraft and that’s okay? This ‘New Age’ is really nothing more than a fancy name for the ‘occult’ or witchcraft if you will. They won’t allow the reading of the Bible in school, but they will assign our children to do book reviews of witchcraft (Harry Potter series)! They won’t allow us to pray in school, but they will encourage the learning of chants and incantations from so called “New Age” teachings (Witchcraft). It seems they have forgotten the very thing this country (America) was founded on, Christianity! It was NOT just freedom of religion, it was freedom to practice Christianity that America was founded on. Not just some religion or any religion, but America was founded on Christianity! If you have a problem with that then go back where you came from, if they’ll have you. READ Your History (if you can find a correct history book anymore) find a copy of the Mayflower Compact and read what our founders had to say about their new colony. The separation of Church and state that our forefathers meant in the Constitution was not allowing the ‘state’ to control our church! But rather the church controlling what the government was and could do! It was the freedom to practice Christianity according to the Bible not according to the King’s way!
In our lives as Christians, we need to remind each other of what we should be doing according to God’s Word. We need to keep encouraging each other in the Faith, prodding and pushing each other to new and exciting things in God. From Glory to Glory! We need to have our Christianity heard in our government as loud and as much as the immoral views are heard.

MY PRAYER…
Faithful Father, thank You for noticing and keeping record of the things I’ve done that are good and pleasing to You. Please help me to keep doing those things that please You, only to do them better, that You may be pleased and glorified. Help me to encourage the Brethren as we all make our walk of Faith with You. Help us Lord to heal our country and return it to the state in which it was intended before You. In Jesus name.
Amen

Spiritual Food

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:35 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are you eating the right kind of spiritual food?

Our physical bodies crave and need food at regular intervals throughout the day in order to maintain our physical health, strength, and well being. But sometimes we allow food to totally occupy our thoughts and fill up our activities during those times and even other times we let food occupy our thoughts when we shouldn’t. Because deep in our soul, in our spirit-man there is a hunger also, a spiritual hunger that cannot be filled or satisfied by physical food, drink, or other chemical substances (drugs and alcohol). This hunger is the desire pre-programmed into us by our Creator, placed there when He knit us together in our mother’s womb. Many will try and satisfy this spiritual hunger with the wrong kind of things and even the wrong spirit(s). They will seek after the occult and the things of the evil (that which is of the devil). They will seek after the things depicted by the Harry Potter series, Dungeon and Dragons and the likes. They will seek after false religions and other idols. It will seem that this satisfies that spiritual hunger, at least at first. This is because the devil is a liar, but eventually you will find that the spiritual hunger is still there. This hunger in our spirit can only be satisfied by fellowship with Jesus, with God, and with the Holy Spirit. We need to satisfy this hunger for Jesus by feeding on Him and His Word, by having a personal relationship with Him on a daily basis. By spending time with Him in prayer and meditating His Word daily. The physical body feeds almost constantly – shouldn’t your spirit also, after all we ARE a spirit that only lives temporarily in this fleshly body. Remember our spirit lives forever.

MY PRAYER…
Father, thank You for Your Son Jesus. Give me today, my Daily Bread, that I may find life in all His fullness. Help me Lord to spend time with You and Your Word and help me Lord to have revelation knowledge of what I meditate and read in Your Word so that I may become more intimate with You. Precious Lord, Jesus my Savior and brother, fill me and touch me with Your presence so that I can serve You by blessing those around me with Your grace.
Amen

God’s Love

This is love: not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God loves you regardless of whether you love Him or not!
He loved us first! He offered his Son to save us regardless of our decision to believe in Him or to ignore His grace. You can be a complete Atheist and God still loves you! Regardless of our condition or state or how bad of a sinner we are/were, God still loves us! Regardless of whether we loved Him or not. His love was, is and always will be Unconditional Love. We are given the ability to accept or reject the death of His Son as the sacrifice for our sins and the proof of His Love for us. It’s our choice either way. But, what we need to understand, as 1 John 2:1-2 emphasizes, is that He died for everyone else in the world too, and that now we must tell them of HIS sacrifice of love for them!

MY PRAYER…
Precious Father, Almighty God, why You should love me and send Jesus to die for me I will never fully understand. But I thank You for Your love, Your mercy, and especially Your grace (unmerited favor) and I receive Your love. Thank You for Your sacrifice for my sins. Thank You, Jesus, for coming to save me and to show me the way. I pray in Jesus’ name and by His intercession at the Father’s right hand for me.
Amen

The Throne Room of God

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10:19 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Coming boldly into the Throne Room of God!

God says here in His Word that we are to have boldness to be able to enter into the Holiest of Holies. In the Old Testament only the Head Priest, and then only after much sacrificing could he even dare to enter the Holy of Holies. And he always had a rope tied around his ankle so they could pull his body out if he was struck dead because he was not properly cleansed and sanctified. But the reason for our boldness is not our works or our holiness, instead we are to come boldly based on what the Blood of Jesus has done for us. Jesus was our sacrifice to God and He was the perfect complete sacrifice! It’s the power of His Blood having cleansed us of all unrighteousness that allows us to come boldly before God’s throne of grace and mercy, not any works that we could ever do. The Blood that was shed ONCE for ALL sin and placed upon the heavenly altar of God a sacrifice for us. And now we can come boldly before the throne of God whenever we wish.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!

MY PRAYER…
Precious and Mighty Father, thank You for access into Your Holiest of Holies. Thank You Father that by Your mercy and grace, through the Blood of Your son Jesus, I can come boldly before Your Throne of Grace. Thank You Lord that though I was once unworthy and unrighteous, You have cleansed me and made me the righteousness of God through the precious Blood of my Lord Jesus. I thank You Father that Jesus has paid the full price for me and that I have been bought by His precious Blood. I thank You Father that You only look at me through the Blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ Holy name and by the power of His Blood I pray.
Amen

Being An Able Minister

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant – not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:6 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Are you an able, competent minister of the new covenant?

A new covenant — God willingly entered into a new agreement with us, His creation, then sealed it with the blood of His “First Born” Son Jesus, and sent the Holy Spirit to give us the power to live the life required by this new covenant. In this new covenant we (EVERY Christian!) are to be competent (able and willing) ministers of this “New Covenant”, (The Gospel of Christ) not the letter (“the LAW” , i.e. the Ten Commandments & the rest of the 613 Mosaic Laws). God has made a covenant of love and grace and mercy with us. The Almighty Father has then turned around and made us worthy and competent to share that covenant with others. Not to preach the law or the ten commandments, nor to mix them with the “New Covenant.” No, we are to be able ministers of the “Good News”, we are saved by grace through faith – not by keeping the law, not by our works, not by our holiness or attendance in church! No wonder it is life-giving: it brings life to us and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit! If you are standing on a street corner preaching Hell and damnation, calling people sinners – then you are NOT God’s competent minister. You are an imposter.

MY PRAYER…
Father, I thank You for Your Word. Thank You for Your grace that has saved me from sin and has redeemed me from the law of sin and death. Thank You for sending the gift of Your Son and the gift of Your Holy Spirit so that I can live with You in a covenant of life, grace, mercy, and love. While I confess my weaknesses, I also promise You that I will live to honor Your sacrifice, love and covenant; trusting that You will empower me, by Your Holy Spirit, to be what You are calling me to be.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
