These are further explanations and insight to help further explain the awesomeness of the bible
Isaiah 41: 9 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Why do we say we are like Jesus? We say we follow him and yet we do not love how he loves. We say we give but we do not give how he gives. We let fear and ego determine what our path is, he said that if we take his hand he will lead us. He said that when he is knocking if you answer the door he will come in and sit down with you. Jesus led by example. Time and time again he tells us what he wants us to do when you read the bible it is a road map and when you ask he will guide to what part of the map you need. It shows you how to love the way he loves, how to give the way he gives, and it will guide you on the path he wants you to walk.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be like you, I want to give like you. Please guide every step I take. In Jesus Name Amen
Luke 6: 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to imitate who you are, how you act, and how you love. Assistance me so I can determine what is right and what is wrong Lord. There are so many things that look like they are right and good but are behind a deceptive mask that is fooling so many. Please make it more than obvious Lord, hit me with that brick and show me what is good and help me to realize what is misleading Lord. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you are, I celebrate your greatness and delight in the awesome gifts that you have given me. I exult you above everything else Lord. In Jesus Name Amen
Matthew 5 : 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven
Dear Heavenly Father, give me the strength to forgive the foul people that have said malicious, spiteful, and nasty things about me. Help me not to hold the words and actions of these vindictive people in my heart because what they have to say does not matter. May I be the light in their darkness so that I may share you, the light in my darkness. In Jesus Name Amen
Matthew 5: 11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day! Please forgive these people that live to be cruel and unkind, Lord please help them to gain humility and have a heart for you. Please soften their tyranny and calm their persecution Lord open their eyes to see you for who you are becoming righteous people for your sake. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, as this day continues to move forward thank you for reminding me that we are just dust. All of us were made from the dust of the earth where none is better than the other we all started as dirt and will return as dirt. No matter what is said or insinuated; they are no different than me because you were the only perfect human being. When I am persecuted, berated, criticized and condemned in your name Lord I understand that I must rejoice and will be glad because I know the reward that you have waiting for me in heaven. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, as I get to know you more and more please help me to not become polluted with all of the distractions around me on a daily basis. I want to follow your true and pure path, the one that you intend for my life, as these troubles are thrown my way please help me to understand if they are truly to help me or if they are ways for the enemy to distract me from your purpose. Thank you Lord for all that you do, all that you are, and everything that you have given me. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, as I start my day help me to be as forgiving as you are Lord. Tolerant to others, remembering that I am no better than anybody else, and that we all sinned. This will allow me to have patience while I am navigating the day Lord. Please help me to recognize those in need so that I may help them the way you help me. In Jesus Name Amen
Matthew 5 : 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Dear Heavenly Father, as I get to know you more I yearn to recognize everything that you do in my life. Understanding all that you have provided, helping me to be familiar with every aspect of who you are. Lord thank you for the great gifts that you have given me. In Jesus Name Amen
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Dear Heavenly Father, as I continue this day help me to be modest in my decisions, with every obstacle assist me to be as humble as you would be Lord. With every complication advise me so that I may be as gentle hearted as you are Lord. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, surround me in your Love, and comfort me in times of chaos. Lord put a hedge of protection around me; cover me with the blood of Jesus Christ so that I may walk in your light. Your comfort gives me security and your presence gives me relief. Thank you Lord! In Jesus Name Amen
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to show humility in all situations, to throw out my pride and to know that I can depend on you in every circumstance I face. Show me the wrong that comes from the ego that I have and train me to control my personality so that I will not force it on you or anybody else. In Jesus Name Amen.
Matthew 5 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Do you need a friend?
Jesus loves you and wants to have a close and personal relationship with you! He wants to help you when you are in times of need, he wants to comfort you when you feel down, and he wants to be there when you need someone to lean on. If you want this all you have to do is pray this prayer and you will get to know him better and have a friend for the rest of your physical and eternal life.
Dear Jesus come into my life; I believe that through your love you died for me to cover my sins so I may have eternal life. Through faith in you and not by my actions or deeds you have given me this gift. I recognize you as my lord and savior. Amen
Do things in your past haunt you? Do you have things that you want to work out?
Do you want to get to know someone that does not judge you, has your back, will not persecute you, and will help you when you need it? Do you need a guide?
Dear Heavenly Father, Lord you are my helper, you have my back when I am in need and you take care of everything that is essential in my life. Thank you for being so awe-inspiring you are the father that everybody needs and exactly what anybody could ask for. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Jesus come into my life; I believe that through your love you died for me to cover my sins so I may have eternal life. Through faith in you and not by my actions or deeds you have given me this gift. I recognize you as my lord and savior. Amen
Destructive Heresies is a awesome article that is well worth the read!
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for being who you are, never changing so that I do not have to guess what you want or who you are. Guide my footsteps throughout this day and keep me from the avalanche of deception around me. In Jesus Name Amen
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Grace and forgiveness, Lord help me to control my-self destroying passions, my impure thoughts and unhealthy desires. Help me to gain humility and self-control throughout my day so that I may live an upright and Godly life. Lord you are awesome in everything you do and everything that you have done. In Jesus Name Amen
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.
Dear Heavenly Father, as I enter another day please give me the strength and courage to stand up unashamed, without flinching, and without fear Lord. I love you for all that you do and for all that you are, Lord surround me with your love and an impassable hedge of protection. In Jesus Name Amen
Romans 1 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes
Dear Heavenly Father, to fathom everything that you do for me on a daily basis blows my mind! To know that this life is such a small part of the gifts that you give me is an exciting journey that I welcome everyday thank you Lord for who you are and what you do. In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for who you are, your gentle touch it comforts me, I can feel you are always close. Lord I give it in its entirety to you I know that you have everything in your hands, I know that you will take care of it Lord. Guard my heart; I will rejoice in everything that you do for me. In Jesus Name Amen.
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
God is love! Ephesians 3:19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. God wants to know us on a personal level he yearns to be our friend John 15:15 “I have called you friends” When we become one of his friends we then fall under his protection Jeremiah 29:11-14 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord”. Through his love he sends you help through the holy spirit and his angels Hebrews 1 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? He loves us so much that he gave his only son so that we will be saved John 3 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have done for me and my family we are so grateful for everything that you do for us on a daily basis. When we have the opportunities throughout this day please give me the strength to share with others all of awesome things you have done in my life. In Jesus Name Amen
Colossians 3:16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
Have you ever experienced something that was so good so overwhelmingly awesome that you just had to share it with everybody. In the business arena that is called marketing through “word of mouth,” when they do something for someone that is so worthy of the praise that people cannot help themselves but to tell everyone. When you get to know Jesus Christ it becomes just like that restaurant that you ate at it had the best food with service that was above and beyond, you cannot help but tell everyone. When you get great service or something happens that is so tremendous you know that it is hard not to go out and scream it from the roof tops. People like to use the phrase Bible Thumper as a offensive term. Bible thumper is someone who always shares the bible with others, so to put it quite firmly yes I am a Bible Thumper! Everything that God has done for me makes it impossible for me not to share, I want everyone to see and feel just what Jesus Christ can do for them! This word of mouth would be unbearable to keep in.
Dear Heavenly Father, please help show the things that I have in my life that are interfering with the fullest relationship I can possibly have with you Lord. Take away the items that are in me that restrict the bond that I yearn to have with you. Make evident everything that is in the way lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
I was having a discussion with a good friend the other day about what we make important in our lives. It reminded me of something; it always stuck out in my head ever since I was a child when it happened. This “Loony old Fart” would always talk about the Gods that people serve and all of the Gods that human beings have. This guy upset me “How dare he blasphemy Gods name”, as I have gotten older and understand things a little more. God has enlightened my view point; I understand what that “Loony old Fart” was talking about. The definition of IDOLATRY:
1: the worship of a physical object as a god
2: immoderate attachment or devotion to something
In this definition the second meaning is what he has illuminated on. An attachment or devotion to something kind of makes you think. I have a few of these attachments; fishing, hunting and cars to name a few. I could make a much larger list but basically anything that you cannot bring yourself to live without. God has the best definition: Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Which leads into another avenue that most people do not think about, like the other, I have a problem with this one every once in a while. Definition: ARROGANCE: an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions. This is Gods Definition: 1 Samuel 15: 23 Arrogance like the evil of idolatry. In these two verses we have a lot to think about! Or at least I do, that “Crazy old Fart” was not crazy after all he was just using the shock and awe method. It stuck with me and made so that it was something that I contemplated for years before God showed me what was meant by what he had said. So Which God do You Serve?
Dear Heavenly Father, as I face this day of unknowns please surround me with your love always showing me the right paths I should take. Help me understand the things that I do not understand and aid me in my flight to gain more humility before you and others lord. In Jesus Name Amen
We are not the only ones that ask for help in Psalm 119: 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. God, time and again will answer: Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. So when we believe that we know what God has planed for us it is best to sit down and ask him Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. There is a reason why you have journeyed down the path you are on John 15: 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. Always remember this, he will take care of you in every aspect of your life even when it seems hopeless he is there with his hand out guiding us through what we are doing.
