Heavenly Father, there is no one or no thing that deserves our complete allegiance, but You, our Lord, who have the words of eternal life. Though others may refuse to listen or turn away from the message of salvation we choose to persevere. We persevere in trial and in victory, in the ups and downs and in the in-betweens of everyday circumstances. We seek to do Your will in all things so that we will be richly rewarded at the end of this life. In the name of Jesus we persevere. Amen.

Heavenly Father, I am so thankful to You for all You continue to do in my families life and through this ministry. Lord, working on today's message, I find it is of first importance to the Apostle Paul to declare that Jesus is risen from the dead and is alive forevermore. So it is also of first importance nearly 2000 years later for those of us who hold dear the sacred Scriptures. We joyfully declare to our own generation the miraculous news that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. Jesus is the living One; He was dead but is alive forevermore! This factual knowledge and spiritual blessing helps to still my fears and reminds me that I serve a living, risen Christ who says to His followers, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive forever and ever.” Because Jesus lives we live also! Blessed be the name of the Lord forevermore! Jesus saves! Father God, for those morning the loss of a loved one, we pray for comfort, understanding of the whys that are beyond our comprehensions. Lord. we thank You for Jesus who was born that man no more may die. The grave is not the end for the believer, but simply the passage way into an eternal dwelling with You, the celestial beings, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the saints whom we join there. The last enemy to be destroyed is death, but the lights of glory will welcome us into our eternal home where we will reunite with our dear loved ones who’ve gone before us. Grant special grace to those who’ve experienced recent loss and encourage their hearts this day. We pray for this through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. Heavenly Father, something that my wife and I have been saying when we are asked how we are doing, "I am blessed" or "We are blessed." Even in the middle of a storm we will say we are blessed because we are. In this world of darkness, we are tremendously blessed that You have called us out of darkness into Your marvelous light. And because of that we can walk blameless and pure as Your children without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which we shine like stars in the universe while holding out the word of life. As priests of the Most High we are Your chosen people and citizens of a holy nation. Conform us to Your likeness during our pilgrimage here as we make it our ambition to please You and walk in a manner worthy of You. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, glory to You in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom Your favor rests. I rejoice in You as this new day unfolds. This is the day that You have made and I choose to rejoice and be glad in it. I have assurance today that Your way is perfect and Your timing is flawless. Your ways are higher than any other and Your wisdom far exceeds that of man. You are a shield for all who come to You for refuge. You arm me with strength and You perfect my ways. You make my feet like the feet of a deer and enable me to stand on the heights. You give me Your shield of victory and sustain me by Your right hand. Therefore I rejoice in You and praise You Jesus, as You show Your unfailing love and kindness to me on this blessed day. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, as I have had the chance to spend time in conversations with those that are like minded and also the chance to sow seed in those that don't know You, I have joy in my heart. Also being able to bless families in my area tilling and hauling of manure, my heart feels good. Also kindness shown from others to to my bride and I. Lord, times of refreshing and gladness of heart are present when we share with each other; whether it’s food, warm conversation, working together or sharing one another’s burdens. When we are in unity we become one in purpose and accomplish great things for Your kingdom. We want to be obedient to the teachings of the apostles, enjoy regular fellowship with one another and also faithfully pray for each other so that we are the kind of church that pleases You and is effective in our community. As we seek to reach others for Your kingdom help us to carve out time to invite others to dine at our table so that we have opportunity not only to share tasty food for the stomach but also satisfying food for the soul. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we read in the first chapter of the Bible where You spoke to Jesus, “Let us make man in our own image.” We also see His presence in the last chapter of the Bible where Jesus declares that He is coming soon and spoke these words, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” From the beginning of creation until the end of the age Christ has gone before us, walked alongside us, and will reign throughout all eternity. It is Christ Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, who directs our steps, sustains us, and empowers us to walk in accordance to Scripture day in and day out. I praise You Jesus for always being with me and guiding me and in Your name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we read in Romans 1 that Your wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness, that although they know Your righteous decree they do such things deserving of death, and they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. We are understanding this passage more clearly as we see deviancy celebrated and people who boast of their deviant lifestyles as champions of the “courageous” frontier where darkened hearts are hailed as those who have arrived to enlighten those who have drawn their standards from the Holy Bible. We’re also witnessing many who have exchanged Your truths as presented in Scripture for the lies presented by mortal and sinful humanity. We do battle daily with the lawless one so we must suit up with the armor of guard that will protect us from the continual assaults from the enemy as we uphold the standards set forth in Your Holy Word. We pray this and give thanks all in the name of Jesus. Amen. Heavenly Father, You have shown the greatest example of what it is to be rich toward us in countless ways, but most especially when You gave Your only Son to be our Savior. You extended to us full forgiveness when we could do nothing to earn it. May we likewise be rich toward You giving ourselves fully in love, obedience, in our resources, and in loving others as we love ourselves. Rather than seeking first a comfortable and secure life here on earth, help us to remember that will come to us in heaven. Instead help us to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness and all that is needed will be given to us by Your gracious hand. We thank You for it in Jesus’ name. Amen. Heavenly Father, we are confident that You will provide for all our needs as we obey Your commands. You have instituted work from the very beginning so that we can provide for ourselves that which we have need of. Your blessings fall upon those who obey You, those who are not idle or wasteful. We lift up our brothers and sisters who are diligently looking for employment but are awaiting doors to open. Father, we pray that You would open the right door and provide for their needs in unconventional ways as You always care for Your own, no matter the circumstances. May it be a time of trusting and growing as they look to You for their provisions and for the open door. We also pray that they will find ways to be useful in helping others while they are flexible in their schedule. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. |
