Walking in Integrity

For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Psalms 94:14-15 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Walking in Integrity before God.
If we will just walk in integrity and righteousness, with an upright heart, a heart that is pure and set on the things of God, He has promised us that He will not forsake us. That He will not cast us off, but that we shall be partakers of an inheritance and be the children of God. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like an awesome promise to me and I want to partake of it. So how do I walk in integrity before God? Obey His Word, always! Obey His delegated authority where ever it is and through whom ever He delegates it, for ALL authority is from God. When needed I come to Him and ask for forgiveness for transgressions, and I ask from my heart not as lip service and then I repent (make the changes necessary), He forgives me and cleanses me of all unrighteousness.

MY PRAYER…
Father God, help us to understand Your ways. Help us to understand that Your ways are not our ways. Lord, help us walk in Your ways and to set ourselves on the things that You would have us to do. Lord, strengthen us and help us to keep a pure heart through the working of Your Holy Spirit within us. Lord, help me to be as Abraham was when You accounted it unto him for righteousness. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

An Inheritance Forever!

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psalms 37:18-19 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do You Have An Inheritance Forever?
The Lord knows the days and the ways of the upright or those who walk in integrity before Him. The Lord shall give those who walk in integrity an inheritance for ever. I didn’t say that, God did! What kind of an inheritance do you think God can give His Children? We shall never be ashamed nor shall we ever lack for anything, even during a famine. That famine isn’t just a lack of food, that is a lack of anything you would need to survive! If, we will seek Him and walk in integrity before Him, He will preserve and keep us always.” I didn’t say that, God did in His Word, His Bible (His Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth!
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You and praise You for who You are. I thank You Lord that You are a loving Father, whose only desire is to preserve and keep those who will walk upright before You. Just as You did for the father of our Faith Abraham when You made Your covenant with Him. He walked upright before You and You counted it unto him for righteousness. Father, I thank You that I can walk upright before You and that I can be the righteousness of God through the blood of Jesus. I thank You Lord that by my faith in Jesus Christ, I am Your child and have an inheritance in the Kingdom. Father, I resist the devil, evil and all that comes from the devil, for You have given me Your promises and they keep me. In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus, I give You all praise and all glory forever.
Amen

Walk With Integrity

The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
Proverbs 11:3 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are You Walking With Integrity Before God?
Remember God told Abram (Abraham), “…I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” (Gen 17:1) God was telling Abram to be upright or in today’s language to be a man of “integrity”. God wanted to bless Abram beyond what he could comprehend, but Abram had to be a man of integrity in order for God to be able to do so. A man who walks in perverseness or transgressions walks in the curse and will be destroyed. Not because that’s what God wants, but because it opens the door for Satan, the destroyer to come in. I believe that is what’s missing from much of our society today…integrity of person, both with each other and especially before God. The world today is in such moral degradation that integrity has been cast aside long ago. That lack of integrity is causing even greater moral degradation of the human race we see today. And it is bringing about it’s own destruction by opening the door for Satan and his demons to come in and do their evil deeds.

MY PRAYER…
Most Holy Father, I give you praise and glory in all things. Lord I ask you to help me, so I may know how to be a man of integrity. Lord I ask you to empower me through Your Holy Spirit to be able to walk in integrity. Father, help me to understand Your ways and Your will. Help me to walk as Jesus did when He walked on the earth among men. In the name of Your Holy Child, Jesus, I ask and I pray this.
Amen

God’s Will

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 1:8-10 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)
Knowing God’s Will:
If you are praying, “Oh God, if it be thy will.” then you do NOT know God’s will! It’s also obvious that you are NOT reading and studying His Word, because His will is found in His Word. Your prayer is prayed amiss and no answer is forth coming.
Jesus is Lord! God’s plan was purposed in Christ from the very beginning. It centered on Christ coming at the right time (God’s perfect timing). God’s plan was to bring unity to His people in and through Christ by making Him Lord of all! What’s more, this plan that brings our salvation brings God great pleasure. God is the only loving, saving God and Jesus is both our Lord first, and then our Savior. So the real issue we face today is this: What area of our lives, our hearts, our secrets, our sin, our rebellion, have we not submitted to His Lordship? For when we have fully submitted ourselves unto His Lordship then and only then will we see the manifestations of all His promises begin to take shape in our lives. “On Earth just as it is in Heaven!”.

MY PRAYER…
O Precious Father, I know my heart can be deceitful. At times I even fool myself. But when I kneel in Your presence and I am convicted by Your Word, I find myself reminded of the areas I have not yet fully submitted to Your control and to Jesus’ lordship. Please, dear Father, use Your Holy Spirit to gently show and convict me of my self-deception so that I may be wholly lost in Your will. Help me Father by giving me the want to to submit all to you and then the power to do so. Through Jesus, Lord of lords, and King of Kings, I pray.
Amen

Not Divided!

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
1 Corinthians 1:10 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Christ is not divided and no one but Christ was crucified for you! Paul was appealing to the church at Corinth to be of one mind. To care for one another as though they were one body, because they were. For churches (people are the churches not the buildings) to get along, often times their leaders must remind them about the unity of the spirit. Paul reminded them that Christ was not divided and that no one but Christ was crucified for them. Paul goes on in the following chapters to explain to them how although you may have come to know Christ through one or the other of the disciples like himself, that the foundation for your relationship should always be Jesus Christ and Him crucified for you. Not Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, nor Baptist, or Catholic, or Protestant, or Nazarene, or some other denomination, but only Jesus Christ and Him crucified for you! When we get to Heaven there won’t be any denominations people, only the saints who gave their life to Jesus while still on Earth. Oh and by the way, the Bible says we are ALL saints once we make Jesus the Lord of our lives! Not only Saints, but Kings and Priests unto God also!

MY PRAYER…
Lord Jesus, You have presented so many of my prayers to our Father, but today, I want to thank You for loving me so. I promise that I will do all I can, to the glory of our Father, to live at peace and to serve not only those who belong to You, but those to whom You are also calling. Father I pledge to serve Your Body (Your Church) as if it were my own, because it is. In Your Holy Name I pray.
Amen

Waiting

So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 9:28 New American Standard Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Who are you waiting for? There is only one who can introduce you into the Father’s presence! There is only one way into heaven and the Father’s presence, not many ways as some think. There is only one who can and has taken away your sin. The Lord Jesus Christ, any other way is a dead end and false belief. Can you think of anything more exciting than to wait for Jesus to come take us home in His glory. But, that word wait doesn’t mean to sit by and do nothing until He comes. That word wait in the Greek means to look for with full expectancy, to serve and tend to His needs and desires until His return. Are you ready? Have you laid the ground work, have you done your homework? Have you spent your time kneeling so that you can stand in good standing? Remember there is only one way to Father and that way is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. There is only one way!

MY PRAYER…
Majestic King of the Ages, may your Kingdom come in all its fullness and glory. May every knee bow to your Son and my Lord and Savior, and may you grant that it may come to pass in our generation. I eagerly await the coming of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. In Jesus’ name, I expectantly pray and prepare myself for His coming.
Amen

One day everyone will bow their knee to God

It is written, “As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.”
Romans 14:11 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Believe it or not, it won’t make any difference when His judgment comes. It doesn’t matter if you call yourself an Atheist and say there is no God. Denial of God is just like denying that there is gravity. But, I guarantee you that if you jump off a 20 story building you will experience gravity whether you believe it exists or not. Yes one day, every knee will bow, in heaven, on the earth, and even under the earth I don’t care who you are or what you believe now. I didn’t say that, God said it! At the judgment you will believe in God like it or not and it might be pleasant if you have denied God in life. But our knees, as believers, already bow before Him. I do not wish to be crushed by the rock and made to submit. I would rather willingly submit to Him now than to be made to submit in the judgment that is to come upon those who will not willingly submit now. As believers we have already submitted to His Lordship over our lives. We live in anticipation of the day when all peoples will bow before our Lord and King. Until that day, let’s do all we can to make sure that we keep Him as our Lord and King! Let us consecrate ourselves anew each day unto the Lord, separate ourselves from the world unto Jesus and let Him prepare us for that Great Day!

MY PRAYER…
Father, I thank You for saving me. May my anticipation of the day of Jesus’ victorious return for His church move me to be Your agent of reconciliation so others may be made ready for that day and welcome it with joy. Give me eyes to see those who need to come to know Jesus today. Give me ears to hear their cries, Lord give me Your heart of compassion for them, that I may minister to them as if I were You for You are in me as I am in You.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Sanctified by His Word

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:17 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God’s Word will sanctify us. Only God’s Word can sanctify us, nothing else. That word sanctify means to be set apart from the world, but also to be set apart unto God for His use and purposes.
God’s promises, God’s Scripture, and God’s clearest message of all, His Son; are all truth. But only the last of these, Jesus, is The Truth, Grace, Mercy, Deliverer, Friend, Lover, Lord, Savior, Brother, Redeemer, Healer, Prosperer … or what ever it is that you need. He is whatever it is that you need when you call on Him. When you call on Him in Faith believing that you have received when you pray, then you will have what you asked. It may not immediately materialize, but if you believe then it is yours. It was finished for us that day a long time ago on the cross, we just have to receive it, it is not something that we need to wait for.
Has God’s Word Sanctified you?

MY PRAYER…
Father God, give me a holy passion to know Your Truth and live it in both word and deed. Help me Lord, to make my life a reflection of Your Word. To be like Him, who both proclaimed and lived Your truth. For Your Word became flesh and dwelt among us and many knew Him not. Lord help me to proclaim Your Word and Truth so that many may come know Him. In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen

Have you risen with Christ Jesus?

Christ has indeed been raised, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:20-22 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Have you risen on High with Christ Jesus? Are you seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father?
Being eternal is nothing new, we’ve always been an eternal spirit, created by God in His likeness and image, God is Spirit. Being like Jesus, having our glorified bodies will be new. But when the moment of glory hung in the balance as Jesus was revived from his sleep of death by the power of the Holy Spirit of God, we too were given the assurance that death no longer claims us. The only death that really matters is our death to sin with Jesus on the Cross and in His baptism. If we have shared in the death of the cross and have been baptized in death with Him, we will most certainly share in His resurrection (Romans 6:1-14). For if the same Spirit that raised Jesus from death dwells in us then we too shall be raised from death unto life everlasting. If Jesus was first fruits, then there are many more fruits and I for one am one of them. Are you in there somewhere also?

MY PRAYER…
Almighty, Most Powerful Father God. Because of Your grace and Your Mercy and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, I know I will see You face to face. Help me now, however, to live that resurrected life, being more like Jesus today than any day ever before and even more so tomorrow. Father, let the power of Your Holy Spirit fill me afresh each day of my life, that through Your power that dwells in me by the Holy Spirit I may live the life that pleases You. Through my Risen Lord, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

Jesus, your mediator before the Father

There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men.
1 Timothy 2:5-6 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)
Is Jesus your mediator before Father God right now?
I do not intend to put down any one’s church or religion here, only to point out the truth in God’s Word.
We do not need another person, no matter how mighty, how pious, how religious, how saintly, or how special; to intercede for us before God. We do not need a priest and a confessional box, that is NOT scriptural according to the Bible. We do not need Mary or some other saint, that is NOT scriptural according to the Bible. After all every Christian is a ‘saint’ according to God’s Word! We do NOT have to be canonized by the Pope to become a “Saint”! All we need is Jesus as our Lord and our savior. I didn’t say that, God did in His Word. As His children, bought by the precious blood of the Lamb, Jesus, we can go freely before our Father God, knowing that God Himself has provided the perfect mediator between us and Himself. That mediator alone is Head of THE Church and Chief Priest before God for us. His name is Christ Jesus, our Lord. NO other person is worthy enough to stand before God Almighty on our behalf except Him. No One period! I didn’t say that, God did in His Word. You need not direct your prayers to anyone except Father God, but always through the name of Jesus. He is our only link to God the Father! There is NO OTHER WAY, NONE! To understand this you must understand God’s Word and not some doctrine of man given as church history. WE are warned in God’s Word about men deceiving the saints through doctrines of men and demons.

MY PRAYER…
Father God, You and You alone are my God, and I praise You for making Yourself so available. I know that in my own power and ability, I have no right to approach You. Yet in Your grace and by Your mercy You not only provided a ransom for my sin, sickness, disease, and poverty, but a mediator and an advocate to stand before You and make my approach to You possible. Jesus, I thank You as well, for paying the price and staying at the Father’s side to intercede and speak for me on my behalf! Thank You for representing me before the Father as one of Yours. Thank You for making this prayer known to the Father. For truly no man comes unto the Father, except through You, Jesus.
In Your name, Jesus, I pray.
Amen
