daily prayer

Great morning! How are we faithing? Do you realize the grace and forgiveness you have from Jesus covers everything? Even the secret things in your life? Do you understand that even as you try to not screw up that when you do it is forgiven? Do you understand that the Holy Spirit lives in you the moment you accept the gift of redemption? Do you also understand that that feeling of separation from the master is real when you continue in known sin? Truth is you are not separated but there's like static between you and God when you keep doing things you know you are not suppose to. Do you need to attain perfection? Of course not! But if you purposely do things you know are against God's Word, the communication will get fuzzier and fuzzier. Our minds and hearts will become dull to the promptings of the Holy Spirit that lives in you as a saved creature of God. The best way to grow in the Lord is to read the Word every day. Don't seek justification for your ways but find out what your ways ought to be. An attitude of searching for truth will always lead to it when you search in the right place. Read, ponder, listen. Get quiet and speak to God, then listen. God will never reveal things that are contrary to the Word and that is how you tell which voice is the right one. Yes I know, hearing voices again...hahaha...I jest about voices because this world tells us we are mental if we hear them. The source is what is the issue. If the voices tell you to run nekked shooting squirrels, chances are that isn't God but if the voice tells you that you just hurt that person with your retort and to apologise, that is scriptural hence, Word from God. You can't achieve perfection and that should not even be the goal. Pleasing the master is. What does he tell us? Do everything in love. Love will not allow you to lambaste anyone for retribution. Love will not allow you to lie. Love will not allow you to step on someone to get ahead. Love will make you stop to help someone. Love will cause compassion to well up inside so that reaching out becomes natural. Love of God will cause you to seek truth. It's time we as believers in Messiah Jesus wake up to the fact that as his people we need to go out and be examples of what his people ought to be like, walk the walk not just talk the talk. Only perfect people get to point out imperfection in others...leaves me out...how about you?

Galatians 1:6-10
I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
NAS

1 Corinthians 2:9
but just as it is written,
"Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him."
NAS

2 Corinthians 10:3-7
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love and wisdom. Teach us to be wise and to recognise your voice. Grant us the serenity to be at peace inside. Lord, we want to serve and to do what is right but we are weak many times. Grant us courage to stand in the face of opposition. Teach us to garner strength and love from your Word so we may share your love out there. Touch these mentioned and our leaders. Gather our troops to your self. Open the eyes of our heart so we may see you in all we do, in Jesus name, amen
