daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing this fine day? It is interesting that some still hang onto ways and techniques that they think are the only right way to come to Jesus. They do acknowledge that Jesus is messiah and that grace is put forth to all who believe but they still think if they don't do things this way or that way that they are going to hell. The Word is very specific about grace. By faith you are justified, faith that Jesus is messiah. Faith that the Word is true. Faith that we can come to him for salvation and we just are not worthy or capable to earn it. That's where it stops. Whether we believe that on our knees verses on our face is how we pray doesn't amount to anything. Those thoughts and arguments serve no purpose but to divide the body. Example, pre trib, mid trib, post trib are not things that should divide the body of Christ.  Arguing and getting butt hurt over a view about end time prophecies that drive the lost further away from Jesus is not the way we lead others to Messiah. We have a situation right now in the news about a Pastor burning the Koran. What or who will this serve? Will it pull people who are lost closer to finding Jesus as their savior? Think about those ideas and thoughts today. Be aware of erroneous thoughts and actions that seem righteous but are in actuality detrimental to the cause of Christ.

Isaiah 55:7

  Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the LORD,
And He will have compassion on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
NAS



2 Corinthians 10:5-6
  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
KJV

Acts 15:6-11
  And the apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. "And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? "But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are."
NAS

Heavenly Father,
  Lord we ask for wisdom and strength to break down these stronghold over us that take away your grace and cause ours and others eyes to be drawn away from you. Equip us with strong hearts and minds so we can withstand the attacks of everything that is contrary to your Word. Lord we ask for healing for those in pain today. Heal Kat and let her know you did. We ask for a touch on the children who are sick. Give them a vision that the enemy cannot alter. Give them such peace that they can only see it as you. Lord we ask for your Word to be ever present when errant thoughts enter. Help us recognise them beford they take root, in Jesus name, amen
