Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful You are a God of truth. Lord, establish my lips to always speak the truth and deliver me from any deceitfulness. Fill me daily with the Holy Spirit so that I am empowered to walk in love toward all my sisters and brothers in the Lord. May I always be gracious toward others, but deliver me from any false flattery. I never want to be manipulative, but to always be honest and sincere in all my dealings with others. You are the God of truth, so may I…

Practice Spiritual Breathing.

In the last week we have studied the beautiful chapter, John 15, and about abiding in Jesus Christ, practicing his presence as a…

I've been thinking about things. It's actually difficult to comprehend. You hear stories about teen suicide. It's quite tragic that it's becoming so much more common and that it's become part our society.

Teen (and tragicly some under the age of 13) bullying lead to suicide. Bullycide.

How is it possible that we as a society have gotton to this point? This isn't like some kind of disease like lung cancer. People are literally taking their lives because they…

Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You for the opportunity to sow good things in the kingdom. Lord, deliver me from any fear that would keep me from turning loose of things I need to sow into Your work. Grant me the grace to give freely of all You have given me, knowing that I will reap in like kind. If I need finances, may I obediently give support into Your works. If I need encouragement, may I take the time to sow it into the lives of those around me. May I be known, as You were known --…

We are always asking God to forgive us. Yesterday, I was talking to the Lord about my faults, and was a little concerned as to how those faults affected my Christian walk. As I was driving along, I saw a sign in front of a local Church, which read, " GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOUR FAULTS, WHY DON'T YOU!!!" I couldn't understand why I drove that way, until I saw that sign. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit had purposed for me to go that way, just so that I could be encouraged by reading that sign.…

Galatians 6:16-18

And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit,

A new creation to the image of Christ, as showing faith in him, is the greatest distinction between one man and another, and a blessing is declared on all who walk according to this rule. The blessings are, peace…

Key verse:…

What an amazing sight, it must be!

Seeing Christ seated on His throne,

as He offers a continual covering on behalf

of those that He considers His own.



Many have often wondered ‘why’,

as observed in the following question:

If Christ’s mission on Earth was fulfilled,

then ‘Why does He make for us daily intercession?’



Beside Jehovah, robed in holy righteousness,

Christ, our personal defender, pleads our case;

for Jesus is uniquely qualified; He…

The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to find rain. No; it rests in union and communion with the vine; and at the right time, and in the right way, is the right fruit found on it. Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.Let us completely join with Him,May His mercy and grace help us in this journey.Good Night.

As I've been thinking about things that have happened with the bullying and stuff...I remembered something.

I was in a very dangeous state of mind. I was suicidal but I kept my feelings to myself for the most part. I liked talking to people online because I figured they live far away,they can't tell on me.

So, I kept alot of the pain inside. I didn't like razors so I didn't cut. But, I did scratch myself. What was dangerous about that was people wouldn't see…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being a God of compassion. May we, as Your children, have Your compassionate heart also. Lord, give us wisdom as to how we should deal with those who are sluggards. Let us help them by sharing Your love with them; but Lord, may we be strong enough to say no to people who are manipulating us in order to use us for the wrong purposes. Give us Your discernment so that we know when people are lying to us, and the wisdom and love to respond in the proper…

Dear Heavenly Father, We want to pray as David did, for deliverance from the great transgression of pride. Lord, show us any sin in our lives that we are blinded to seeing, so that we may repent. Set us free from those things that would keep us from becoming like You. Lord, I desire to have an humble heart before You and before others. Help me not to be condescending to others, but to prefer others and esteem them. May we all give honor to whom honor is due, and especially may we not…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful that You are a just and fair Judge of all of us. Help me not to judge others, but to pray for those who would sin against me or others. Lord, I trust You to take care of those who persecute me and come against me. I ask You to forgive them, and bring them into the knowledge of Your dear Son. I especially pray for those who are bound in addictions and ask that You set them free so that they may serve You and find peace in their souls. I ask this in the…

THE LOVE OF GOD The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, And reaches to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, And pardoned from his sin. When years of time shall pass away, And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall, When men, who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hills and mountains call, God’s love so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong; Redeeming…
