NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 31, 2016

VERSE: Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15).

EQUATION: Hard Work + Devotion to the Word of God = Untold Blessings x The Fruits of Obedience.

ACTION: Knuckle down to the necessary diligence required not just for the work of the Kingdom, but to grow closer to the Father so that His heartbeat becomes yours and mine.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, many of us who are wholly committed to You, have no problem standing and dying on the Hill of the Truth of Your Word, because we are not ashamed of the Gospel, the power of Salvation, that it is. What we have a problem, not just now, but always, is keeping our nose to the grindstone and trying not to get distracted by the things of this world and just the difficult things of life. So help us to adopt Psalm 119 as our own for the rest of 2017 and the rest of our lives, so that we may be found even more worthy to be called Your workmen, and that the overflow of our efforts will not just accurately portray and proclaim You as You are, but that many may come to see You, as You truly are, to the Praise and Glory of Your Name, in all Your goodness, grace, glory and Power and Love, through the greatest Name above all the other names-  the Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom all honor is ascribed, amen and amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 30, 2017

VERSE: “Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7)

EQUATION: Determination + Scriptural Foundation = Sanctification

ACTION: Authentic, born-again Bible believing, Spirit-filled Christians MUST be intentional. Now more than ever, The Spirit of God is calling His Elect to firmly plant the banner of the Cross and stand right there holding it, way up high. The verse above is ALL present tense: SUBMIT meaning - do everything God commands (read Psalm 119). Then RESIST - don't follow Hollywood, the evil culture and the corrupt world systems or so-called Christianity which can be bought with filthy lucre. Determination and steadfastness should be our motto in 2017

PRAYER: Father, Most High and Merciful God in Heaven, we thank You that Your Words are clear, Your statutes are perfect and Your Law giveth life! Oh giver of life and all good things, which Thy servant James says, cometh from the Father of Lights, we ask for the power of the embedded Holy Spirit to be unleashed within us, as we walk in obedience, truth and submission to Thy Perfect Will. We ask and pray and submit therefore to all You command and demand, with the full knowledge that we are imperfect people who will slip up, stumble or even fall, but with the full knowledge that You have also given us the will and power to resist evil and temptation so we can be even more victorious as we grow in maturity and Faith day by day. Lord, encourage us daily as we surrender all to You and seek to walk in Thy incredible ways, today and always, in Jesus' Strong Name, we pray. Amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 29, 2017

VERSE: "Our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction" (2 Peter 3:15b-16).

EQUATION: Teachings of the New Testament from Apostle Paul = Authentic Scriptures from God.

ACTION: For the first time in the Bible, the great Apostle Peter, tells us as plain as day, that the letters from the brilliant Apostle Paul are not only full of truth but are as much Scriptures as the Words of the Torah (first five books of the Bible) or the Prophets. Jesus Himself revealed them to His servant Paul when He trained him for three years in the Arabian desert. The required action for those who have not yet done so, is to start with reading the Book of Romans, this year and then read all the way through the Book of James - very slowly, very methodically, while praying for the Holy Spirit to make the embedded truths here, easy to comprehend. Scripture immersion is required, at in this current age.

PRAYER: Our Heavenly Father and great God of Heaven Who has revealed Himself to sinful mankind, first through Moses and the Prophets and in these last days, through Your great Son the Savior Jesus, we praise Thee, worship Thee and bless Your Holy Name for giving us the Word of Truth - the Bible. Through this, Father, we cannot be deceived by those on earth who twist Your words to suit their own personal ends and misrepresent You, misleading others and making them just as much a candidate for destruction as they are. Father, give us, through Your revealed word- the Rhema of God and the Powerful Spirit of the Living God, the discernment to immediately recognize false teaching and error so that we may alert the unsuspecting and teach those who need to know You better. Grant us the courage to stand for revealed Truth so that we may proclaim it righteously, with humility and love, but with uncompromising accuracy, so that we may stand before You, holy and blameless, in the Presence of the Angels and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, to whom all praise is due, in His Name, the Name above ALL the other names, we ask all these things, amen and amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSE: JANUARY 28, 2017

VERSE: "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple" (Psalm 19:7).

EQUATION: God's Commands + His Grace = the Most Fulfilled Life in this World!

ACTION: The reason God gave us His Law and all His commandments etc. is not to keep us from having, what we think is "FUN"! It is to keep us from harming ourselves, from harming others and from harming our relationship with Him. Knowing this, it is now time to readjust our thinking to this paradigm and look at God the REAL way, maybe for the first time!

PRAYER: Lord, we never realized what a good, good and gracious Heavenly Father You are, and that You would love us so very much, that You sent Your Word, Your Law, Your Commands, Your Bible to us. These precious words - Your teachings, Your wisdom and EVERYONE of Your commandments are given to us that we may have Your Mind and Your Heart and Your Truth that we may simply live....and not just live, but live a life free from the burdens of guilt, sin and shame if we just obey and follow Your Word, Lord. We thank You mightily for this and the very fact that Thy Word is Truth and Thy Word giveth life, in the Mighty and Strong Name of Jesus we pray, amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 27, 2017

VERSE: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

EQUATION: Something from nothing = Everything.

ACTION: Each year around this time, we, who believe in the Sanctity of all human life, observe the anniversary of the Roe vs Wade court decision in 1973, which legalized abortion across the land. Also each year, the largest Pro-Life Rally for Life takes place in Washington DC with the U.S. Vice President Mike Pence being the highest ranking official to ever speak at any previous one. Today, the activities begin. Let us prayerfully remember the 60 million babies lost since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized this procedure, 44 years ago.

PRAYER: Our Great Creator of Heaven and Earth, we worship You and thank You for giving us life, liberty and Your Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, the Giver of Eternal Life. Father we pray that as the souls of 60 millions unborn children cry out to You, around Your Throne today, that You, in Your mercy, compassion and long-suffering, bring healing to the mothers who sadly let them go to You, prematurely and Godly sorrow, leading to repentance, to those who promote and benefit from the act of ending the life of an unborn child. Lord, You pre-destined each life and know each one of us even before we are born. So Lord, You know personally, each one who came to You in this manner over the last 44 years. But Lord, we also give thanks that a new generation has become more pro-life and that there are now government officials, who proudly proclaim the Name of Jesus boldly and will stand up for the helpless and those who have no voice. Father we pray, today and in the coming days, for those who rally for life, those who pray for life and those who speak UP for life. Grant them Your great love, protection and provision. Send Your Holy Angels to surround all who labor in this field and those who share the True Gospel of Hope, Love and Salvation, which can be found in Jesus Christ alone, in His Name we pray, amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 26, 2017

VERSE: "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death" (Romans 8:1-2).

EQUATION:  Every human alive + Salvation in Christ Alone= Eternal Pardon from Death Row (Hell).

ACTION: Every religion and/or faith system ever devised my some human somewhere survives on manipulating its cult followers into DOING stuff to ease their forever guilty consciences. These souls remain confused, never happy and worse - guilty until Judgment Day, since there is no such thing as reincarnation or what level of consciousness they are conned into believing. Christianity is simple and our responsible is, as well. Simple but accurate and sometimes difficult to grasp. Because Grace is free, the condemned push it aside. Nevertheless, it remains free. Our job, those who are not sure of their position in Christ or Heaven, is to take our sinful, guilty consciences and souls, which each of us had before we surrendered them to Christ and asked forgiveness, and to come before Holy God, in the Name of Jesus. The only Defense Attorney we need is Jesus, Who already paid our lawyer fee at the Cross. It is as simple as asking Him to take this burden off you because only He can, forgive you and then ask Him to guide and direct your life, since He alone is Lord. Then let Him do it - because He will.

PRAYER: Father, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, we thank You for the Truth of the Gospel which sets us free, signs the document as "PAID IN FULL" and sets us free. We thank You that by Your Grace because we believed the Gospel, we can now ask for the removal of our burden of guilt, shame and sin and surrender our lives to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our Faith!. Thank You that the Cross, which stands as the bridge between all mankind and hell,  is the banner of our salvation and that Your Mighty Son, fulfilled His Law which He gave to Moses and that if we accept the Grace which flowed from His act of fulfillment of the Law which guaranteed our eternal punishment, and which now freely saves us, He promises to set us on the path to Glory. We thank You, heavenly Father, in Jesus' Strong and Holy Name. Amen and amen. Thank You, we give You glory through all eternity for that Truth and that Pardon, in Jesus Name. Amen

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 25, 2017

VERSE:  "Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many  miracles?"(Matthew 7:22)

EQUATION:  Self-propelled activity for God is NOT equal to the Obedience of the Elect

ACTION: Time for more than a sound check. It is time for a spiritual gut check. We see this all the time.  Church workers, in just about any church in the west, so busy “doing things for God” that God Himself is left out of the picture.  Both men and women are guilty of this and sometimes you wonder if some of these people are truly saved, because it sure does not show in their actions, which while great and positive – from feeding or clothing the poor, to ministering to the sick – are NOT what gets a person into Heaven. Way beyond time now, to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

PRAYER: Father in the Name of the Prince of Peace, Who giveth the true peace which passes ALL understanding, we ask right now that if there is someone who thinks busy work in the best of bible-believing churches, and even worse – THEIR busy work is what Christianity is all about, Lord we pray right now that You convict them first of their deadly error and secondly, send a deep sense of their lost nature. Give them a true conviction to really know You and not ABOUT You, Lord. Give them the lasting overwhelming sense of Who You are - the Facts; that is is by Grace through Faith, that they are saved, and nothing they think they're doing FOR You, even if they're doing it with great flourish and are successful at it....and Lord, it is not what they FEEL that is critically significant, but it is by KNOWING YOU and not ABOUT YOU, they will avoid hearing these dreadful words as they pass from this life into eternity. Lord we pray for complete and real regeneration, a heart change, even as they work in Your fields here on earth, so that they may finally have a relationship with the one true God, the only relationship which will ever matter, and that is one with the Ever-loving, Everlasting one True God in Heaven, in Jesus Strong and Holy Name we plead and pray, amen and amen.

Tuesday, January 24, 2017

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 24, 2017

VERSE: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter". (Matthew 7:21)

EQUATION: A person + Not born again in this Life = Eternally Separated from God on Judgment Day

ACTION: These words from Matthew 7:21, from the Great Judge Himself -Jesus- are, and will be the scariest words ever spoken. Make sure RIGHT NOW, that you or someone close you know, are NOT the one to whom they are spoken.


PRAYER: Oh great God and Father in Heaven, Who has given ALL men the means by which we must be saved, we cry out right now, first on our own behalf, that we are 100% right with You, that our sins are forgiven and that we have been accepted into the Family of God through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Master of our lives. We pray now, for those who have deluded themselves their entire lives, and we pray that they, while there is still breath in their bodies, that they come to a realization of their lost estate before You. Lord we pray they have that moment, or they may even encounter someone who will cause a pause for reflection that if they were to stand before You and You would ask them "why they should be let into Heaven", that the right answer will be given. Father, so many people think they are Christians or going to Heaven, because they prayed a sinner's prayer or went to church on Christmas Day or that they were born in a certain country. Open their eyes Lord! Open their dark hearts that they may see themselves as they truly are, before it is too late for them and bring their first awakening of the spirit in the inner man, that leads to repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and ruler of their lives. We pray and cry out right now, in His Precious and Holy Name, amen and amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 23, 2017

VERSE: "Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying" (Revelation 22:15)

EQUATION: Heaven will be MINUS YOU if immorality, sin PLUS participating in the occult persists.

ACTION: There has never been a time where the lack of any discernment about idolatry, sexual perversion and immorality and/or witchcraft is more widespread. All of this and more are promoted in cultural items (music, movies, social media etc.) and even worse, self-identified Christians plunge headlong into divination, equating paganism with Christianity, visiting graveyards on Halloween and still playing "dungeons and dragons". If you or anyone - from teenager to Gen X'er - you know is involved in this from your circle or church, do something about it. Do not just show them an Old Testament passage about visiting psychics or Long Island mediums, but WARN about the dangers of a REAL Hell. This is one of the duties of ANY serious follower of Jesus Christ.

PRAYER: Oh Great Father in Heaven, You are very clear about Who You are, oh Holy One of Israel and the standards You require of those who call themselves by Your Name. Lord, help the weak-minded among us to understand that the things of the Devil and the demonic structure of this world, are NOT compatible at all, with the Kingdom of Heaven and the Eternal Kingdom. Help those who do not read Your Word, in the book of Revelation, and those false teachers who preach that Revelation has already been fulfilled, to know that Hell is real and all who follow after the lust and shiny lights of the corrupt age will find themselves locked out of eternity with You. Give us boldness to walk in the Spirit so we can exercise the spirit of self-control (2 Timothy 1:7) to overcome any tendency to even condone or brush these evil things off as distractions, but to rebuke them and keep them as far away from our homes, loved ones and our mind's eyes as we can. Lord,You have given us Your eyes, when You saved us, now help us to use them so we will not fall prey, through letting our guard down, because some of our loved ones' eternity rests on it. We ask all these things in Jesus Strong Name, amen.

Sunday, January 22, 2017

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 22, 2017

VERSE: "Now the Lord said to Abram, 'Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you....(Genesis 12:1)...' Abram took.....Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they [set out for the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan. (Genesis 12:5).

EQUATION: Doing exactly what God says = Less hassle + headaches.

ACTION: God specifically told Abram to leave his relatives behind and go. He was only supposed to take his wife. Abram (not yet Abraham) took Sarai (Sarah) and much more, including his nephew Lot. The result of this error of slight disobedience is all kinds of trouble with Lot to the point of parting ways with him, and Lot eventually becoming steeped in the culture of Sodom, even though God rescued him from its destruction. Lot's young daughters' immorality with him, eventually led to the birth of the pagan nations of Moab and Ammon (Jordan etc). For us, this means one thing - do exactly what God says, as far as Abram and secondly, do not be as greedy and eager to partake in the fleshly lusts and temptations of this world, even if you're a real Christian. In other words, do not be like Lot!

PRAYER: Most High God, blessed be Your Name in ALL the earth. You call many out of the pit of despair from pagan and lost lands, families and backgrounds and You give life, hope and purpose to them. You make promises which are always true and never to be broken. But we, in our broken, sinful and rebellious condition always violate Your commands and either ignore Your specific instructions or do not follow them, as You intend. Lord, today, in this new year, give us clean hearts to obey You, clean minds to listen to You and clear thoughts to execute the plans You have specifically put before us, that it will go well with us and Your Perfect Will be done. Forgive us for all the times we have disobeyed Your extremely clear commands and instructions and paid the price. You continued to rescue us, like You did with Abraham, because You love us so much. Make us more like Christ, Who always did what You wanted and help us to see with Your eyes, the things we are called to do, to the Praise and Glory of Your Name, amen.

Saturday, January 21, 2017

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 21, 2017

VERSE: "Do all things without grumbling or questioning," (Philippians 2:14)

FORMULA: Take 100% focus off yourself, put it on someone else, and then watch the blessings return one hundred fold.

ACTION:  An attitude of ingratitude can only take you so far. A life of misery, discontent and complete unhappiness is the result.  On the other hand, if we do our job the best we know how to...if we remember Scripture says we are actually working for the God Who gave us all of this, whether we're a the lowest paid at work and are treated with disrespect or the bank manager or the coffee person at church, then the peace, joy, contentment, blessings and satisfaction can never be fathomed by a selfish and corrupt world.

PRAYER: Our Good and Gracious God, we worship, adore, bless, lift up and thank the Mighty King of the Universe - the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ for the unfathomable blessings and joy He has given to all His sheep. Yes, Lord, we are all sheep because basically without You as our Good Shepherd, we can do nothing. It is because of You, giving grace and compassion to the Humble and rejecting the Proud, that we even have a roof over our head, heat in the winter and food on the table. It is because of You, we are able to get off a warm bed in the morning and stand up downright upright and even walk into a new day. It is ALL because of You. Father, Good Good Father, help us to remember these basic facts the very next time we are tempted to launch a pity-party, grumble about our situation or complain we don't have enough beyond what we need to live. Help us to just THANK YOU, for EVERYTHING instead of the opposite so that we will continue to live with the Shalom of knowing that You only want the best for us, and we are where we are because this is where You, in Your long view of life, know what we need. Just thank You, Lord, thank You for giving us even the breath we take second by second, that we can consider these things. In Jesus Name, we pray and stand amazed in His Presence, amen and amen.

Friday, January 20, 2017

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 20, 2017

VERSE: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,  for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way." (1 Timothy 2:1-2)

EQUATION: Prayer + Supplication + Thanksgiving = Peaceful Living

ACTION: Imagine what a shock this was when the Apostle Paul, speaking for Christ, told the people under persecution from the Romans and under threat from both those people AND the religious Pharisees, that God now wants them to pray for their nemeses! Today, God is still telling ALL His people, in this age of dispensational Grace, that we must pray for prominent people “In authority” whether we like them or not...at all times! So how do we pray for them? 

First of all, we pray for them to first obey God and to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Secondly, we pray for them to govern under Godly principles. Even if they are the most pro-abortion, anti-Bible state or national leader, we pray for them to have a heart change, while praying their leadership into the Hands of the Lord for His direction. Finally, we pray that their lives will go well, even if we can see evidence of the opposite, so that they will come to realization that God is in charge and the One Who has blessed them, in so many ways.

PRAYER: Father, in the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus we pray today for all leaders. We pray for the new American president and vice president that their steps will be ordered by  You, since You are the One Who ordained them. We pray that they govern as they say they are – Christians and follows of the Good Book- the Bible. We pray for their protection, their safety, their families, their well-being, their success when they do or attempt to the right thing. Lord we give You thanks and praise, that unlike our earlier brothers and sisters who had no choice who ruled over them, that we were at least able to have the freedom to worship, vote and engage and it is all because of You. Because it was for freedom, You set us free.  

Lord, we also pray for all leaders from the state house to the Congress to the local county and village hall. We pray that they will follow the same principles of biblical leadership, even if  they may not have the same power and prominence of a national leader. We pray, that even if they do not know You as Lord and Master of their lives, that You will always be the standard against which, they will be held. Lord, You are the giver of all things and the One Who gives peace, joy and contentment. You promised that if we do these things, in pray for those in authority, that it will go well with us....and that we will live in Shalom. In the current age, it has gone well with us, but we know the day is coming when it will not be so. We still pray for the persecutors knowing that ours is the greater eternity ahead. Lord on this day, we lift up, adore, praise, worship, lift up, magnify, glorify and bless Your Great and Holy Name in Jesus Strong Name, from Whom ALL blessings flow, amen and amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 19, 2017

VERSE: "The king’s heart is like channels of water in the Hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes." (Proverbs 21:1)

EQUATION:
God’s Ways: not equal: Our Ways.

ACTION: Look at the history of man, from the Creator’s Perspective. He used a brutal proud pagan named Nebuchadnezzar to bring judgment on His own people Israel, then broke him completely from his incredible pride until Nebuchadnezzar was saved and proclaimed Yahweh. Our job – pray for the hearts of the leaders of the country, state and city to make it easier on those whom they lead, themselves and their children, by turning to God, Who is Sovereign and will get His Way, in the end.

PRAYER: Father, in the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray first for our own hearts that we don’t get too sideways on the things of this world and forget what we are commanded to do. We pray for obedience to Thy Word and compliance with the Holy Spirit. We pray also that Thy Perfect Will be done on earth in the hearts of those in positions of authority and power over us, that they may obey you and not rule corruptly, unjustly or unethically. Finally, Lord, we pray for their salvation, and that the heart of their children will also turn to you and be saved before it is too late, and that none of their actions will continue contradicting the Word of God, Your Precepts or any of Your commandments, in Jesus Strong Name. Amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 18, 2017

VERSES: "And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace." (Jeremiah 29:7)

FORMULA: If we have the peace (Shalom) that passes ALL understanding then we are fully equipped to successfully handle the troubles of this current Age.

ACTION: In a time when up is down and wrong is right...where evil abounds and anarchy is encouraged by malcontents, the people of God remain confident (con- with, fide- Faith) and at complete peace, because we pray for the Shalom of God on leaders, chosen by God, Who will guide our communities, states and country. The Calling for this next season: Continue to pray for Godly wisdom; wise counsel and execution of righteous policy by all government, which benefit everyone, to the Glory of God. Through that, we fulfill this verse above from Jeremiah 29:7

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, oh Most Gracious God in Heaven Who created all governments as Your representatives here on earth, we remember this challenge to Your exiled people Israel whom You sent for 70 years to Babylon. We recall Your commandment to "do life" where You have placed them and now, the same for us. We remind ourselves that this is the mandate to live in the moment, in the town You placed us. We pray for the peace of each of our respective communities and for the new American and world administration. We pray for God's guidance in this endeavor that we may walk as a people deserving of Your calling and Your charge to us, even in the midst of a perverse and crooked generation, Jesus' Strong and Mighty Name amen and amen!

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES JANUARY 17, 2017

VERSE: "But let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 9:24).

FORMULA: If you usurp the role of judge and executioner then you're responsible for the blow-back.

ACTION: Pray the enemies of the real God, Jesus Christ, His church and our families into His Hands, then leave the result up to Him, even if it takes a while.

PRAYER: Great Father in Heaven, You did not call us to call and reign down curses, fire and brimstone on those who hate us and You, but to be thankful that our names are written in Heaven, on Your side of the ledger. We pray against the enemy, because their destruction is sure as we are taught by Ephesians chapter 6, but we also pray like the Angel Michael (in Jude 9)who, when arguing the devil over the Body of Moses said "the Lord rebuke you". Help us to remember to immerse ourselves in You and Your Word daily, as nothing could come close to understanding just how swift and powerful Your Judgments and Rebukes are, in Jesus' Strong and Powerful Name. Amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 16, 2017

VERSE: “For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LordBut he who sins against me injures himself; all those who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8:35-36)

FORMULA: If you follow after everyone else and ignore God then it is on you. Q.E.D.

ACTION: Life is full of choices that are as plan as day. Every aspect of life requires personal decision, but for some reason, matters of the soul are purposefully ignored. Take action now: decide NOW - DO YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE, WITH TRUE PEACE AND JOY STARTING NOW, ALONG WITH THE FAVOR OF GOD? IF SO - JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION. REBEL AGAINST HIM, YOU CHOOSE ETERNAL SEPARATION AND HELL.

PRAYER: Oh Most Kind and Good God, You gave man the best of everything when You created Him in the Garden yet he made the wrong choice bringing sin, death and destruction in the world. Lord, we know most will not choose You, on this side of Eternity even though the warnings are stark and EVERYWHERE, but Lord, we pray for those who do, that we may humbly come before the Throne of Grace, seeking deliverance and continued intervention in our daily lives, that we may find FAVOR and mercy, and grace, love and the compassion You alone can offer. Father, Lord we come. We have found life, true life, IN YOU. We need no other. We pray for those who rebel against You that they may see the light before it is too late for them. Grant us continued Favor, oh Lord, as we pursue You in Spirit and in Truth, through Jesus Christ the King, amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 15, 2017

VERSE: "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorposts". Proverbs 8:34 

FORMULA: Being alert + Standing in the Doorway of Hope (Petah Tikvah) = Direct Line to Divine Wisdom

ACTION: Christianity is the only intellectual Faith system, where logic, reason AND hope reside.Therefore, by following the admonitions of Yahweh to take up residence, at His Tent of Meeting DAILY, like a Mezuzah on your doorposts, we gain direct access to His Holy Temple...from where DIRECT blessings flow constantly from His Hand and Magnificent Heart!

PRAYER: Great Father in Heaven, what a wonderful, gracious and powerful God You are. There is none like You! From everlasting to everlasting YOU ARE GOD! Your love for Your children goes beyond amazing as You invite us to come visit You, test You, find You True and then watch and marvel at what You will do next! This is life altering. This is beyond comprehension. This is too good for words. Father, we love, praise, magnify, adore, worship, bless, lift up, glorify and sing of Your Love forever, to the Praise and Glory of the Great King of the Universe - the Lord Jesus, forever and forever, amen and amen!

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 14, 2017


VERSE: "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known" 1 Corinthians 13:12

FORMULA: If the Divine Equation somewhat incomprehensible now, then wait until Glory for the "WOW"!

ACTION: Faith is complete trust with our spiritual hearts, which have been reborn by the Spirit of God. Heaven is so much more, don't let the shadow of this world cloud the Incredible picture, which lies ahead...just above the Horizon!


PRAYER: Great Father in Heaven, Creator and the Power behind ALL things, we are so grateful that this corrupt world is not ALL that there is, Lord. We are so eternally, and we mean eternally, thankful - humbled - blown away and stunned that You would even give us a representation of what lies ahead for us. And it is not just a glimpse of the Divine Majestic Kingdom of God, but it is a personal confirmed reservation You have booked for us who have believed, obeyed, repented and trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Master of our lives. Thank You, dear God! We look forward to that Day, Face (Yours) to face (ours) when we see you in living color, as real as the sun rising in the east every day. For this truth, this very truth, we are amazed  and pray, in Jesus' Mighty Name amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 13, 2017

VERSE: "Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?" (Jeremiah 12:1)

FORMULA: If God chooses that some prosper, then let it be of no concern to us.

ACTION: Even in a fallen world, the grace of the Good Lord falls on the Just (Christians) AND the unjust (the majority of the Lost and dying world). From the beginning of time, evil men (and women) have prospered and become even wealthier than the people of Yahweh, who most times scratch and claw for a living. Our role - to accept what God has given us, to strive to do better without sinning against Him and our fellow man and finally to TRUST HIM completely for even the parking spot we lose at the top of the line at the grocery store parking lot.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we know that YOUR ways are not our ways. We know that You work all things to those who love God and follow You, in full trust and obedience. Lord we cannot explain why bad people seem to be the wealthiest, and loudest and even the most obnoxious, but help us to be like the Apostle Paul, our role model. He knew what was like to be hungry, cold, poor and persecuted and at times, he was well fed and warm. In all things, Paul trusted fully in You, seeing the reward ahead and the true riches of Christ which are not of this world.  We know You will deal righteously as Jesus said of the rich man who was in hell while the beggar Lazarus was in paradise. He was not in hell because he was rich, but because he lived his own way all his life, ignoring You. Lord help us to understand this day that the best thing we can do is pay attention to our own souls and those around us, and then let You, our one True God of Heaven and Earth, take care of the rest, in Jesus' Strong Name, amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 12, 2017

VERSE: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

FORMULA: The Promise, if heeded is greater than the Fear, Cares and Stresses of this World.

ACTION: Fear of the unknown AND the known destruction, depression and devastation out there is too real and pervasive. It takes focused Faith to overcome this. Start now. BELIEVE....believe and receive, for God has not given us a spirit of Fear, but His Spirit of Faith in Christ.

PRAYER: Most Gracious Good and Heavenly Father, in the Name of Your Son Jesus, I believe Your promises to me, from Your Holy Word, to never leave nor forsake me. I receive this Truth, as intended, and embed it completely in my own spirit, that the Knowledge of Your Love, Care and Plans for me are greater than the arrows, darts and evil of this world. I submit to the Lordship of Christ in my Life so that He can fight ALL my battles while I trust fully in Him. I surrender ALL to Him, all to Him I freely give in worship, in spirit and in Truth, to the Praise and Glory of the Lord of Heaven's Armies, from Whom ALL blessings flow, Amen and amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 11, 2017

VERSE(S): Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)

EQUATION: Life is this Equation: Suffering + Pain + Perseverance (minus)- Self-pity = Godly Character

ACTION: Human suffering is not easy to explain because it was brought on before most humans ever alive were born. It was created by SIN in the Garden of Eden, by Adam and Eve. The key here is Perseverance. Because we, who are Christians have Faith and Hope, we also have the capacity to stay faithful to God and TRUST HIM. This is exactly what we must do - say like Job in Chapter 13:15 "Though He slay me, I will trust in Him". Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No!

PRAYER: Father, You have promised to be with us, no matter what from now until the End of time. In our time of greatest need, we pray You will prove Yourself strong and mighty for us. We know the answer to suffering and sickness, destruction and death, sometimes is staggering silence. When that happens Lord, remind us that at those times, it is our cue for complete 100% TRUST in Your plan, purposes and power because we cannot see the end from the beginning as You can. Remind us of the reward also, dear heavenly Father, of being true to You, all the days of our Lives, in Jesus' Strong Name we pray, amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 10, 2017

VERSE: “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.” (Galatians 5:1)

EQUATION: JESUS + THE CROSS = LIBERATION

ACTION: We instinctively know, from the Power of the Holy Spirit testifying in and through us, that the same God Who called us onto Himself for salvation and sanctification, will complete and finish what He started. He will do this until the day of Redemption. This fact alone is liberating for the Christian. His salvation freed us from living CAPTIVE to the bondage of sin and its evil by-products of death and destruction. Satan has absolutely, positively NO hold on us! He is defeated because Jesus is more than just the Savior of the World, He is the Great Emancipator! So, let's live as we are supposed to be - free from bondage, free from Satan's hold on us...and free at last, free at last, great God Almighty, Jesus made us FREE at last!

PRAYER: In The Mighty Name of Jesus, the King of Kings and the Lord of all things, we thank You, oh Great God of Heaven for Your Eternal plan of Redemption, Restoration and Reconciliation. We thank You that You looked down on the sad story state of ALL Mankind and decided to rescue us by Your Son's sacrificial atonement on the Cross which freed us from Satan, the Adamic Nature and ultimately saved us from ourselves!! You saved ME from myself, oh God! There is nothing greater to any of Your disciples and followers than to realize just how liberating the Gospel, the True Truth, the Word of God in each of our lives. Help us to not just completely grasp this but to embed it in our souls that we may not fall short daily, before You. Father, to You be all the Power and Glory and Honor, now and forever more, in Jesus' Strong Name amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 9, 2017

VERSE: For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6)


FORMULA: If God is the originator of something, He seems it through. Q.E.D. (Quod Erat Demonstrandum - That which has already been proven)

ACTION: The verse explains itself. Our part in the equation is simple - yet sober and difficult without commitment and perseverance. We have to cooperate with Him. Without our acknowledgment of His Lordship over our lives, sanctification to the high standards He set, will be either slow or almost non-existent, since we do grow even if by a centimeter. Trust and obey, because there is no other way,

PRAYER: Oh most kind and gracious God in Heaven, creator of all heaven and earth and as Charles Wesley says He Who loves our souls, we repent this day for having fallen short in our reaction to that to which You have called us in Your and Grace to us. First of all, Lord, thank You for calling me to Your side. Thank You for sending the Ancient of Days to sacrifice His Life for the forgiveness of my vile sins. Thank You for saving me and sticking with me through this process of drawing me even closer. Thank You that as time is fleeting, You still call me, and all Who will listen to come to the Knowledge of You so much so that it will mold and transform our lives into what You would have us be and what you created us to be, Father, we cry out for Your longsuffering and mercy as we grow more and more into the Image of Your Dear Son, so we will not be ashamed on that Day, to the Praise and Glory of His Name, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen and amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 8, 2017

VERSE: For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. (Romans 7:15)

EQUATION: Sin plus human nature plus opportunity is greater than our sanctified walk sometimes.

ACTION: Just as a Christian can make foolish and unwise choices, as we saw yesterday, Christians may also either slip up thinking by getting distracted and deceived by sin. Also, some can promise God never to cuss again, as an example, and then let an expletive fly if one of us gets cut off by a careless driver. Instead of reacting to the human side of us, let us buckle down to control emotions and actions - no matter how much we think we are missing out. It is the RIGHT thing to do!

PRAYER: Almighty Father, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, we are truly sorry for slipping up time and time again, even after we promised to not go "there"; or to watch our tempers, or tongues etc. We do not purposefully set out to sin but as the Apostle Paul above, says in Romans 7:15, the exact same thing he hated doing, is the same thing he went ahead and did anyway. Father, we repent right now and ask Your forgiveness.  Lord we know we can't walk the sanctified and holy life without You. So we ask now, not just for Your Grace in 2017, in abundance, but a growing Maturity to control EVERY aspect of our Christian walk that we both may not sin against You, but that we may easily discern a potential danger, avoid it and defeat it instead of giving into it. We ask for Your Strength and Your Power to defeat these sneak attacks, in Jesus' Holy Name, amen.

NEW LIFE - A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 7, 2017

VERSE: "He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely will be delivered" (Proverbs 28:26)

EQUATION: Navel-gazing + Puffed-up self esteem divides from Authentic Relationship

ACTION: Christians in the west seem to have a problem separating the temporal from the eternal, thereby making horrible, even life-altering choices. We were not bought at the highest possible price- the Life of the Son of God on a Cross- to give the devil a foothold in our lives. So let's cut this out. Let's stop acting like fools and let's cease giving the world ammunition with which to beat God over the head with, by calling us hypocrites.

PRAYER: Our Great God and Father in Heaven, we repent for every wrong choice in life, which each and every one of us has made, sometimes many times over. Help us not to take Your matchless Grace for granted so we can keep on sinning, but remind us all that You gave us the Spirit of Power and Self- discipline what we may be delivered from all evil and temptation, when put upon by the evil one. Help us to choose wisely and to defend our bodies, minds and souls from all sides while cutting off the angle of sin that we may be shining lights for Christ, at all times and for all the days of our lives, in Jesus' Strong and Holy Name, we ask these things, amen.
