Devotions - Prayer

I forget at times that God will allow bad times in our lives so that we seek to draw closer to Him, and appreciate His goodness and the value of being unified with Him through Christ.

Ecclesiastes 7:14 Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life.
In All circumstances keep looking for God’s goodness and keep standing in the Love of God’s greatest Gift to us ALL, JESUS!  (See John 3:16).

As Jesus is preparing to die.. He stops .. And thinks about YOU .. He prays for you!

Read John 17 and Listen:
*V9  Jesus says to the Fathers he is praying for those who KNOW Him…
*V15 … He asks for protection from the evil one (satan) .. KNOW satan is real and seeking to destroy you …
*V20 . Again he repeats He is praying for you who chose to follow His name …

Please read the whole Chapter of John 17 and live in peace and comfort knowing Jesus prayed for each of us ..

Thank you Jesus for thinking of me in your darkest hour. Thank you for your never ending love for me …

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

Anyone who desires to live for God, reject the devil, and reject the world’s system, must know God’s Word.

*We must study the scriptures, for they reveal the Will of God for OUR Actions and Attitudes.

*To be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, we must be filled with God’s Word.

*Knowledge of God’s will is foundational in developing Christian conduct and character.

*There is no way we can fulfill God’s will if we don’t know what it is.

People are tired and worn out because of lack of knowledge and full of ignorance. (Matthew 11:28, 29+Hosea 4:6)

The Word is strong enough to break away or apart any darkness.
*If you focus light long enough on anything, that thing will break or melt away.
*We may all want instant gratification but that is not how God works with all things.

*The light of the word drives out demonic activity.
**We must pray and sanctify ourselves by the word. Take a look at 2 Peter 1:3-7.

“In Him we live, move, and have our being.”
Heavenly Father, thank You for equipping me. Thank You for empowering me. Help me to stay focused on Your Word and Your plan for me today. Help me to walk in Your anointing so that I can do all You’ve called me to do.  Lord, please help us to not just learn your words but to live them. Help us to apply them and change our lives as a result.  I bless You today in Jesus’ name. AMEN.
