daily prayer

    Good Friday morning!  How are we faithing? What a week this has been! God revealed some things in his Word this week that has me flat excited! I love when the Word speaks and teaches! I also love to see God work in other lives! I love to see answered prayer! There is a whole bunch of stuff going on in this world and satan is trying his best to ruin all our lives.  He is using the same tactics over and over and we keep falling for em. He asks us questions and twists the Word so we have a little doubt and then appeals to our wants and needs followed by rationalizations that prompt, when we are at our weakest, inappropriate actions. "Do it anyways, God Will forgive you, isn't that what the Word says?"  Man, technically that may be true but what are the ramifications of that deed? Does God give us instruction to oppress us and to control us? On the contrary!  He gives us rules and guidance for our own good! He wants us to live an exciting, loving and full life but not at the expense of or in spite of ourselves! I'm just as guilty as any of you.  Rather than get in a discussion with satan and his henchmen or even argue with those rationalization thoughts we ought to, as soon as we recognize it's happening, speak the Word.  Rebuke in the name of Jesus and call on our Lord! Probably won't be easy because whatever is happening is very appealing at the moment but a slight pause and a trust that God knows best is prudent. Think;


Heb_4:12
  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

1Pe 1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 

1Pe 1:16-25

  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:   Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;   But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:   Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.   Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:   Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

    Heavenly Father,

   Thank you for your Word that is the only truth. Help us recognize satans ploys. Help us resist the temptations that we encounter daily.  Teach us how to be your sons and daughters. Lord we lift up those who are seeking .  We lift up those who are seeking but don't know what for.  Show up and show off.  In Jesus name, amen
