Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die…” So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 12/07/2010

< >< My Prayer >< >

It takes many things to be able to stay focused on You in the midst to the busyness under the sun, thus we must practice, practice and practice; we must fight to stay conscious in the now of the moment and not let instinct or habits rule to moment, but grace and mercy through Jesus with an eye fixed on You and a heart likened to His!

Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – I AM WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO, even in the most menial task. I am always aware of you, concerned with every detail of your life. Nothing escapes My notice-—not even the number of hairs on your head. However, your awareness of My Presence falters and flickers; as a result, your life experience feels fragmented. When your focus is broad enough to include Me in your thoughts, you feel safe and complete. When your perception narrows so that problems or details fill your consciousness, you feel empty and incomplete.

Learn to look steadily at Me in all your moments and all your circumstances. Though the world is unstable and in flux, you can experience continuity through your uninterrupted awareness of My Presence. Fix your gaze on what is unseen, even as the visible world parades before your eyes.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 12/06/2010

< >< My Prayer >< >

‘You make known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.’ I know that despite what I face under the sun or how I feel, in You and through Jesus I will find peace and the strength to go forth each day.

Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – STAY EVER SO CLOSE TO ME, and you will not deviate from the path I have prepared for you. This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way. Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion. This practice enables them to give Me money, time, and work without yielding up to Me what I desire the most—their hearts. Rules can be observed mechanically. Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought. These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition.

What I search for in My children is an awakened soul that thrills to the Joy of My Presence! I created mankind to glorify Me and enjoy Me forever. I provide the Joy; your part is to glorify Me by living close to Me.

Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – LET MY PRESENCE override everything you experience. Like a luminous veil of Light, I hover over you and everything around you. I am training you to stay conscious of Me in each situation you encounter.

When the patriarch Jacob ran away from his enraged brother, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed desolate. But after dreaming about heaven and angels and promises of My Presence, he awoke and exclaimed:

“Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” His discovery was not only for him but for all who seek Me. Whenever you feel distant from Me, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!” Then, ask Me to give you awareness of My Presence. This is a prayer that I delight to answer.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 12/04/2010

< >< My Prayer >< >

Another week as ended and another weekend begins; I take the same thoughts from the week into the weekend and all I can hope and pray is that like Martha I will choose the ‘better thing’!

I have made mine, my priority, putting them above everything but You, above myself – leading them to You, showing them You are at work in me, and hoping and praying they will see You in me, and realize I am truly in You, as they need to be in You. Yet I walk this tight rope between the busyness and ways under the sun and my desire for one walk with the Son hoping and praying that You will hear me and that Jesus will pray for me and mine; for there is so much we do not know or understand, and to walk by faith is the only way. Not relying on our strengths, but in our strength as in our weakness, seek Your face. In Thursday’s and Friday’s Today in the Word about freedom from regrets, You once again enlightened me by telling me how

‘Jesus wants to break us at the point of our strength.’ As with Peter whose great strength was his courage, ‘we are not broken before You until we are broken at the area of your strength and You desires brokenness in every part of our life.’ ‘Jesus understands me; He knows what I need so that I might give into Him.’

Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, so I may always give in to Jesus and truly walk as one with Him weekend. I ask that You bless me and mine indeed, in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – MY THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways My ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways and thoughts higher than yours. Remember who I am when you spend time with Me. Marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with the King of the universe—any time, any place. Never take this amazing privilege for granted!

Though I am vastly higher and greater than you, I am training you to think My thoughts. As you spend time in My Presence, My thoughts gradually form in your mind. My Spirit is the Director of this process. Sometimes He brings Bible verses to mind. Sometimes He enables you to hear Me “speak” directly to you. These communications strengthen you and prepare you for whatever is before you on your life-path. Take time to listen to My voice. Through your sacrifice of precious time, I bless you far more than you dare to ask.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 12/03/2010

< >< My Prayer >< >

I knew if I kept bringing it to You, You would work me through it and create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus. I knew Jesus would help me. I knew I could not do it on my own for the battle between my will and Your will for me is only won when I stay open to You. If I hear, see and feel what others do and say from my perspective I am doomed by what I am under the sun, but if I seek Your face and just feel with a heart likened to Jesus’ I will overcome myself, by dying to self to server You and others, even the those that want me to bring or keep me under the sun, away from the Son. So I cry out…

Jesus help me!

Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You would indeed bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. Jesus help us! In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – Do NOT BE SURPRISED by the fiery attacks on your mind. When you struggle to find Me and to live in My Peace, don’t let discouragement set in. You are engaged in massive warfare, spiritually speaking. The evil one abhors your closeness to Me, and his demonic underlings are determined to destroy our intimacy. When you find yourself in the thick of battle, call upon My Name: “Jesus, help me!” At that instant, the battle becomes Mine; your role is simply to trust Me as I fight for you.

My Name, properly used, has unlimited Power to bless and protect. At the end of time, every knee will bow (in heaven, on earth, and under the earth), when My Name is proclaimed. People who have used “Jesus” as a shoddy swear word will fall down in terror on that awesome day. But all those who have drawn near Me through trustingly uttering My Name will be filled with inexpressible and glorious Joy. This is your great hope, as you await My return.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 12/02/2010

< >< My Prayer >< >

Today I feel two themes from devotion, Gospel and Today in the Word; peace and regret. These two states or feelings seem in such contradiction to each other if not for Jesus, Whom through we will always find peace, even from the regrets we experience under the sun. The lesson for me is not about do’s and don’ts but simply one walk, to always walk as one with Jesus; feeling His constant presence, focusing on His teachings and Your will for us. Not the goals or dreams we develop for ourselves under the sun, which in themselves contain built in regret, but the simply purpose yet difficult process of following His will, even or especially when it is in conflict with what we have set or thought up for our self and knowing the feeling peace that we feel from doing Your will and being conscious of His presence. Keep conscious, hold me close, help know Thy will Lord.

Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – I AM THE PRINCE OF PEACE. As I said to My disciples, I say also to you: Peace be with you. Since I am your constant Companion, My Peace is steadfastly with you. When you keep your focus on Me, you experience both My Presence and My Peace. Worship Me as King of kings, Lord of lords, and Prince of Peace.

You need My Peace each moment to accomplish My purposes in your life. Sometimes you are tempted to take shortcuts, in order to reach your goal as quickly as possible. But if the shortcut requires turning your back on My peaceful Presence, you must choose the longer route. Walk with Me along paths of Peace; enjoy the journey in My Presence.

You need the certainty of My loving Presence in order to weather the storms of life.

December 1, 2010

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 12/01/2010

< >< My Prayer >< >

Experiential knowledge of You is what we must seek, we must have; the feeling of knowing the unseen, in believing in the unseen despite the day to day emotions and doubt that we all experience and all those under the sun that are trying to remove You from our daily life in school and at work. Church service once or twice a week is not enough, daily prayer is not enough, we must walk as one with You in every moment, everywhere – one walk is the only way to feel until the unseen becomes more real that the seen as we grow progress from believer to follower to disciple of Jesus Christ.

Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

December – “For to us a child is born… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ISAIAH 9:6

Today – I LOVE YOU with an everlasting Love, which flows out from the depths of eternity. Before you knew you, I knew you. Ponder the awesome mystery of a Love that encompasses you from before birth to beyond the grave.

Modern man has lost the perspective of eternity. To distract himself from the gaping jaws of death, he engages in ceaseless activity and amusement. The practice of being still in My Presence is almost a lost art, yet it is this very stillness that enables you to experience My eternal Love. You need the certainty of My loving Presence in order to weather the storms of life. During times of severe testing, even the best theology can fail you if it isn’t accompanied by experiential knowledge of Me. The ultimate protection against sinking during life’s storms is devoting time to develop your friendship with Me.
