January 8th prayer

January 8th prayer...

Almighty God, Your wisdom is unsearchable and the plans You have for salvation were created in love and grace. Thank You Lord for sending Jesus, Your only Son to defeat sin and death, to pay the price for US. Help us to understand the significance of our debt being fully paid on the cross! Jesus, You accomplished in three days what we could never achieve in a lifetime.  You removed the veil from the Holy Place so that we could fully see and draw near to the Father. You took the keys to Hades from the evil one and when You come again Jesus you will use those keys to lock Satan in the firey pit! You, Jesus have been seated at the right hand of the Almighty God. You live and interceed for us with Your Father. Christ Jesus, when we believe in You and make You the Lord of our lives with a repentant heart salvation is ours. We have eternal life and Holy Spirit is sent to dwell in us. My prayer is that everyone would cry out to Jesus and be saved! Life has never been so sweet. Create in us a new heart Jesus. Tear out the old callous one and give us all a heart that beats for You alone. I wait for the day of Your return Jesus. Thank You God for sending Your Son for our sakes! In Jesus' name I pray... AMEN.

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 5:24 ESV

Comparison, don't fall for the trap.

Image
When we compare ourselves with other people we are creating an open door for the prince of lies. Comparison tells us that we are either better than others, or fall short of what others view as successful. This has never been more of an issue than it is today, with all the social media sites out there. We have started to gauge our relationships by how many "likes" and "shares" we have. When people don't respond in the way we wan t we start to compare ourselves. I guess that person is taller than me, that person has more friends than me, that person has pretty blond hair, that person is skinny or in shape, wow he prays for 3 hours a day! etc. etc. etc. You can fill in the blank here. By comparing we either build up ourselves to the point of narcissism or, we tear ourselves down to the point of depression. Either way the end result is killing your joy! Exactly what the enemy wants. God made each of us unique in the way that He wanted, so that we could ...

Praying Like Little Children

Oh how precious are the prayers of little children! They are innocent and, trusting. Children do not judge. They only know they like to make friends. Children should be our examples! If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, we would be in a better place. This is so so true when it comes to prayer. We don’t need to use language that is meant to impress others or, God for that matter. Can you imagine trying to impress God? What a waste of time. God knows everything about you.  When children come together they don't care about color, economics, religious affiliations, or sex. All they care about is making friends. As grown adults, we should follow their lead. Especially in our prayer life. We should want to make friends with God. God wants time with us because He is THE good good Father. He wants to hear from us in our own words. Tell Him about your day. Give your trials  and cares to Him. Lean on Him like a little child leans on their parents. Trust that the One wh...

The Broken Clay Jars

Image
In ancient times people stored their treasures in pottery jars which were molded by a skilled Potter and then baked until hard. He would decorate them with glaze or, paint and give them an ornate lid. Still, some were more functional and baked without adornment. These were all used to hold sacred scrolls or valuable documents. Pottery jars whether beautifully decorated or purely functional had one thing in common, they were fragile, temporary vessels. Just like these jars were made from earthen clay, our bodies were also formed from the earth. Genesis 2:7 HCSB Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.  Our bodies were created by God for many different purposes. Our bodies are God's own creation, perfectly designed, and also temporary. Much like these clay jars, our bodies are only temporal vessels to house God's most precious gift; the Light of the world. We ...
