daily prayer

    Good morning!  How are we faithing this fine day?  Man, have you ever just knew something or figured it out in your head without having done it before?  I know as a car enthusiast I have and I have heard of people in other professions do the same. With this in mind it only stands to reason that in the  spiritual realm  the same things can transpire. There are things that our spirit being knows that it knows and we as spiritually alive in Christ recognize this. Those who are dead spiritually cannot conceive  the principles of God. Forgiving enemies is foolish to the world. Loving enemies also. Believing and trusting in a savior that we can't see makes no sense to the world.  Ever notice that in idol worship there is always something tangible? We as believers see tangible results instead and that is a huge difference.

1Co 2:9-16

  But as it is written, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him."  But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.   Is there anyone who can understand his own thoughts except his own inner spirit? In the same way, no one can know the thoughts of God except God's Spirit.   Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.   We don't speak about these things with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.   A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the things of God's Spirit, for they are nonsense to him. He can't understand them because they are spiritually evaluated. The spiritual person evaluates everything but is subject to no one else's evaluation. For "Who has known the mind of the Lord so that he can advise him?" However, we have the mind of the Messiah.

Heavenly Father,

  Thank you for revealing your ways to us. Help us be courageous in following those ways. Help us understand principles that heal rather than hurt. Lord we lift those mentioned today, show yourself in a way they cannot deny you are with them. Open eyes so they step forward and accept your gift of salvation. Lord we lift up our leaders, make known any deceit and turn their eyes to you instead of their own self interest. In Jesus name, amen
