We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or freed

November 9, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/09/2012

We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or freed.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father in today’s verse reading1 ‘Paul urges his readers to remember where they came from in our passage. But in this case he is not pointing to the valuable lessons they learned from their family background; rather, he is reminding them of their prospects prior to experiencing the grace of Christ.’2 I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, reminding me of where I am vs. where I was but for Your grace and mercy and to prepare me for my one walk in and with You. Just like the example in today’s ‘In The Word Devotion’2 we all need to be reminded each day as we step out and start the day that we are more than what we have become under the sun, based family background, experiences, profession and political affiliation. We are believers in Jesus Christ and the only decision we have before us is will we be followers.   For to be follower we must open ourselves up to be shown and taught how to be channels of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. We must stand having girded our waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which we will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who only seeks to separate us, first from You, then each other. So I pray today for oneness, oneness with You, oneness through Jesus Christ and as a nation under You. I pray that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and keep us from evil and pain; reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

November 8, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/08/2012

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father ‘thank You for revealing Yourself through Your Son. As your child, I, too, want to reveal You to the world. As I find my purpose for living in you today, as I seek You through Word and Spirit, flow through me and use me to make You known.’1 I come to You in His name, the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for this purpose and my one walk in and with You through Jesus. I pray that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. That You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. That You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and keep us from evil and pain; reminding us that we are here under the sun to serve You and if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness

November 7, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/07/2012

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus. So that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. So that You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who roams looking to devour me in my doubts and fears. For I know as one with You I walk with eyes of faith and there is more of You to direct and guide me and less of me to get in the way. So I pray without ceasing that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and that You keep us from evil and pain; reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world… but by grace you have been saved.

November 6, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/06/2012

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father it is by Your grace and grace alone that I have been saved.1 I walked under the sun thinking I could put You off; that if I could accomplish what I thought I needed to do under the sun first, all would be alright and I could then get right with You.2 But just as Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes ‘all is meaningless3’ and ‘one sinner destroys much good’4. So now awakened I now come to You each morning in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, putting You first, and keeping You first, for my one walk in and with You throughout each day and in each moment. So that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people, an example of Your work. So that You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who roams seeking to take me backwards. Praying without ceasing that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

“For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord.”

November 5, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/05/2012

“For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord.”

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father I may have waited to long for somethings, but when it comes to directing1 me and mine in Your ways all things are possible in, with and through You in Jesus Christ. This I believe and this is why I come to You each day in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You would create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. So that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people, especially mine. So that You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who roams around me using everything and anyone he can to stop me. Praying without ceasing that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, uniting us in Your name and keeping us from evil and pain; reminding us that if we get nothing else done each day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. A family united in and with You through Jesus Christ. So that I can humbly say ‘choose for yourselves, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord our God’2. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.

November 4, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/04/2012

I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father I often acknowledge that I believe You planted in our hearts the seed for us to know and love You. Is our conscious1 the root system for that seed. If we are to grow in You. How fast we grow in You. How large we grow in You. I know for me it starts by coming to You daily in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit, so that You can create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. So that You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations will all people. So that You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who I know roams waiting to temp and separate me from You. To pray that You continue to bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and keep us from evil and pain; reminding us that if we get nothing else done this day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. For under the sun the battle for a spiritual and righteous conscious1 never ends; we must always be conscious1 of what we are thinking and doing to feed our conscious1. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

November 4, 2012

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/03/2012

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father maybe I am reading or wishing to much into it, only You know; but I cannot help but think about how our conscious1 affects how we vote, and what we think and feed our mind and spirit affects our conscious1. We cannot be hypocrites, nor should we let hypocrites lead us. The better of two evils, still leads to evil. We must purify our minds and hearts; we must act to change what we can – ourselves. This is why I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me through the Holy Spirit so that You would create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. That You will show and teach me how to be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations will all people. That You will help me stand having girded my waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one who will attack me the closer I get and am to You. That You will hear my prayers for continued blessings for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, not ours; and that You will keep us from evil and pain. That You will remind us that if we get nothing else done each day, let us spend it loving You and others first, as You love us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
