Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you for all of Your goodness to us as Your children. I am blessed to know You and to follow You. Lord, help me to make wise decisions in all the things that I daily face. Give me Your love for all that I meet. Lord, in all of my affairs, help me not to procrastinate in dealing with the responsibilities that are before me. I do need Your guidance to know the things that should be priorities in my life, as sometime I do not know what needs to be taken care of first. Help me, in all my daily activities at home and at the office, to demonstrate Your nature. I ask this in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

GOD'S TRUTHS BELONG TO HIS CHILDREN
Matthew 13:11, "He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
MATTHEW 13:1-13
The Greek word translated "mystery" here, means "something that could not be known by men except by divine revelation, but that, though once hidden, has now been revealed in Christ and is to be...
Seven Blessings Testimony
God has now placed on my heart to testify how He has blessed me with all the things I need and so very much more. I have listed seven areas in particular that I have been blessed with during my lifetime. I did not include mercy as one of the blessings, even though God has been so merciful to me during all my life. In fact, I did a separate testimony on how He has been so merciful to me during my life. Here is a link to it for you to read that particular testimony

Dear Heavenly Father, I do thank You that You have given us Your Word and wisdom. Help us to walk in Your ways so that we will avoid the traps of the enemy. Lord, I am thankful that by following Your commandments You have prevented the devil from harming me. I do ask for Your protection over all of Your children. Lord, help me today to walk in love and be a good witness to all that I come in contact with. Help me to be sensitive to Your Spirit and respond to the things You ask me to do. Give me the courage and strength to do all that You ask of me. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

JESUS, TEACHER AND SAVIOR
Mark 4:2, "And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,"
MARK 4:1-12
The Greek word used here for "doctrine" means "teaching" and occurs a total of 30 times in the New Testament. The four gospels refer to Jesus teaching 43 times and preaching 19 times, and six verses refer to Him preaching and teaching in the same verse. This would indicate...
As I See
As I see the light of day
Drifting through the cracks
I am reminded that Your light
Lord, lightens my darkest hour
For You have given me a new day
A new start and I rise with the joy of life
Which only You can empower.
Each step enfolds as Your light swamps the
Universe, so much so that Your wonders
Burst like a bud into flower.

Dear Heavenly Father, I do thank You for the encouragement that You bring, when at times, I am tempted to become discouraged in certain situations. I am greatly encouraged when You do answer my prayers. You truly are a faithful God that hears and answers our prayers. I am amazed at times, when I have totally forgotten a prayer that I prayed years ago and suddenly it comes to pass. Lord, encourage my brothers and sisters in the Lord, and answer their prayers that have been prayed according to Your will. Send hope to those who need it and give them faith to believe You for their answers. Help me to respond to those who disagree with me in the manner that You would have me to respond. Fill me with Your love, and empower me with Your Holy Spirit to do Your will in every situation. I ask this in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN
Matthew 12:43, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none."
MATTHEW 12:43-45
Most often, verses 43-45 are used to teach about demon possession and deliverance from evil spirits. Jesus made it clear that getting rid of an unclean spirit is only a part of deliverance. You must also fill the place that was previously...
Salvation a discussion
I am now led to do a bible study discussion on Salvation, our needs for it, its purposes, and benefits to us. God loves people that He wants to save us from our own bad and selfish ways, so that we might serve and glorify Him. Sin has separated us from a relationship with Him, and salvation restores that relationship. God is always after a relationship with man, His creation, for He wants that to be so. This verse of scripture, in 2 Peter 3 says God does not want any to perish but for all to reach repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9) The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
And these verses from 1 Timothy say that God wishes all to be saved in fact, through the Lord Jesus:
(1 Timothy 2:3) This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

JUST WORDS
Matthew 12:37, "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
MATTHEW 12:34-37
God created the heavens and the earth and everything that is in the earth by His words (Heb. 11:3). The whole creation was made by, and responds to, words. Our words, when spoken in faith, release either life or death (Prov. 18:21) and will affect people, things, and...
