Better Days are Coming

 

Zephaniah 3:14-17

New International Version (NIV)
14 Sing, Daughter Zion;
    shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
    Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,
    he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;
    never again will you fear any harm.
16 On that day
    they will say to Jerusalem,
“Do not fear, Zion;
    do not let your hands hang limp.
17 The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”
 
 
Dear Lord, thank you for today. I am blessed that you have shown me favor. I am a child of God and my God has shown me he loves me. Today I will let go and let God have control. My future is in your hands Lord. I love you and pray for you daily. Lord please give him the desires of his heart. Lord hear our prayers.

Personal Revelation


John 2:4
Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. " My time has not yet come."
His mother said to the servants, " Do what ever he tells you."

Good Morning my love. Thank you Lord for today. You woke me to begin again and try to do better. This morning you took me to this scripture. I have often wondered why she asked him. I believe she knew from when he was a child he could do these things. Maybe when he was a toddler and the juice ran out, he just made it appear from the water. I believe he did it before and she knew he could do it again. Our God is an awesome God. Instead of her going away, she just said, do whatever he tells you. Just follow Jesus' instructions and all will be alright. Thank You Lord. Be blessed today and be a true blessing to someone. I love you.

Keep Watch


Mark 13:30-32

New International Version (NIV)
30 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown

32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Father God, I am keeping watch for you. I have been fighting this cold/flu/sinus infection/ I don't know what. I'm tired and feeling defeated. I don't want to worry. I place my trust in you. I know I am not where I should be because I am tired. I keep pushing on. I don't know what will happen but I keep pushing on. I walk by faith in my Lord and Savior, not by the sight of what is going on in front of me. I believe in God's promises for me. God bless you today. God will make a way out of no way. Disappointment will pass. God loves us. Its time to feel better. Get well and stay healthy. I need that so much. I love you. Have a blessed day.

Discenment


Father God I thank you for today. I pray that I will be a discerning person today. Not a judgmental person. I know my class is doing something to compete with the other class for me. I want to let them know I am appreciative. I do not store my treasures here on earth, I look for heavenly treasures. I am a child of God and I know "where my treasure is, there my heart will be also". Things and stuff don't matter to me. I don't place the value on stuff. Relationship is important. Do I have a relationship with you Lord? Am I doing the things you want me to do? Do I trust you to know my needs and to supply them? I  will send out my praise and worship to God to go before me. Lord you ask do I trust you. I have to trust you. Even when it doesn't look like it is going to be OK, I have to trust you. You are almighty and powerful. You are King of Kings. You are my beginning and my end. You know everything about me. I walk proudly with you. just as Gideon blew the trumpet and broke the jars, obedience to you Lord is the key. We cannot serve two masters. We must listen to you. My heart is to serve you Lord. Thank you for today. I am blessed to be here another year. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Spring Is Here....Soon

Spring is truly in the air. Snowflakes in the morning, sunshine in the afternoon. That's Chicago.

Thanking God

2 Corinthians 5:5-7

New International Version (NIV)
Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.For we live by faith, not by sight.

I thank God for today. Miracles do still happen. God is watching over us daily. When something is working in God'd Glory we should go after it.We should make miracles manifest. God's anointing should be strong so that just in your presence changes the atmosphere. In order for us to be a healthy church and a healthy society we must have a transformation occur. We should have miracles and manifestations occurring. God is a mighty God. God is a great God. God is strong and mighty. When God blesses you you know you have been blessed. Let somebody know. I thank God for my bible study so that I can reflect on the teachings and thank God everyday for you. Signs and Wonders are about transformation. This was the sixth sign of a healthy church. Cause a miracle to happen today. Be blessed and know that you are loved. I think I believe you love me too. Thank God for Spring. Good bye Winter!

God has a purpose and a plan

What does it take to become a leader? Confidence in God. I have to walk in faith. Walking in faith with Jesus.  Declaring my faith and my love. The more powerful I am the more productive I can be. Truth will always win. Truth exposes all lies. God will send us back to do it again and again. God will always have a plan to get us out. God is consistent. God's spirit convicts cleanly without shame. Make it plain God. Make it clear. It's right in front of my face and I don't recognize it. Question me, get answers, calm your mind. Help me to sleep in the midst of the storm. I have to walk by faith and not by sight. Material things come and go. God's love for me is everlasting. The prayers of the righteous availth much. I pray for what is before me. Am I not sincere enough? Have I not challenged by self enough? There is more for me to do before my prayers are answered. Am I missing the the point? I am planted. I just keep moving forward. I want you to have a blessed day today. I love you.

Wide Awake

Wide awake and my mind is alert. Watching Katie reruns . George Zimmerman's wife was on. Very interesting comments. Angelica Huston is also interesting.
I have had a good day, somewhat. I was reminded to call parents again and that helps so much.i wonder if this is what God really wants me to do. If not, what does he want me to do? 
I want to do the things that God wants me to do. I'm a good person. I have been my own worse enemy. I put myself under undue pressure and demands. I am a good person. I haven't been to jail or prison, not that I would equate that with my worth, I am what I am. I have forgiven myself for my earlier decisions of abortion. I value life. I value children. I understand I was young and unsure of many things. I forgive myself. I think that will help me to see value in a new relationship with a wonderful, thoughtful man. Someone who sees the world so differently that he wants to make a change for all of us. He wants to bring us closer to God in such a way that we believe it is of value and important to have the miracle of this special relationship. His intentions are pure and he is sincere and genuine. People attack him because he will expose greed,hatred and racist thoughts, ideas and people. He's a fighter for the people. Like a super hero for justice. He is so humble. He has a good heart. He is loved by so many. I think I thought I couldn't possibly compete, but it's not a competition. I am who I am and I love him for who he is. Good or bad. He has his good days and bad days. He's human. I can love him for being human. Thank you God. You let me express my love and now I can go to bed. Be at peace. I can help you, you can help me. We need each other.

Understanding

Acts 25:13-26:32
My Dear Lord and Savior thank you for today. I have been blessed to have another day. I understand that I must have a heart of patience and love. I have to listen to you with my heart and my mind. I know you know me better than I know myself. I am an open book to you. You are intimate and aware of everything. No detail of my life is hidden from you. Cleanse me, renew me, heal me. Allow me to pray for something for me. Touch my heart. Lord, allow me to see injustice and have a soft heart. I want to recognize the innocence of poverty, homelessness and the economic injustice in schools. Help me to help others see the need that is there. Maybe if I do for others, my prayer might be answered. God I need you to help me. Help me do what needs to be done today. I have a dread of what is to come today. Nothing specific, just a feeling. In my reading today, they had nothing specific to accuse Paul of, but nonetheless, he was imprisoned. Persecuted for what? Believing in the miracle of Jesus Christ rising from the dead? Believing in Jesus at all? He is going against the grain. What is it about going against the grain for the wrong thing that people will accept but when you do it for the right thing, they want to kill you? He pleads his case and they find no true crime committed. Stay committed to what is right. Believe in the true God. Know that my prayer will be answered. I can do this. It will happen. I have patience in God. I can wait on God. I ask God to give me peace and  a heart to love the people that surround me daily. Help me not to yell at the kids today and to be understanding. Give me patience. I love you.

My deeds and my actions


Matthew 11:19

New International Version (NIV)
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
 
 
Good Morning and thank you Lord for today. Wisdom is proved right by her actions. Let today be a good day. Thank you Lord.

The Power of Suffering


Acts 8

Acts 8:4-8

New International Version (NIV)

Philip in Samaria

Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city.

Praise God for today. Thank You for today Lord. I am ready to walk in your word. Accepting God and walking in his word are to different things. Create in me a clean heart and purify me. A clean heart Lord. God I wonder about your intentions with me. My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways. Intention becomes important. Can I listen to you Lord? Send your angel to counsel and direct. Show me where to go and what to do. I can't do this alone. Give me your understanding and peace.  I pray for peace and understanding today. Have a blessed day today. I love you.

Making My Love More than Head Knowledge

Dear God, thank you for today. I am always coming to you thankful. I have been nice and others didn't appreciate it. Others have been nice to me and I didn't appreciate or show my gratitude like I should have. When I try to nurture  a relationship I want to acknowledge and nurture. I enjoyed your gift of a revival. You chose a wonderful singer and pastor who kept us entertained and engaged. We were challenged to be great. To do the hard work. To put our selves out there and act in the image and likeness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Greatness is available for all of us. It's so hard for us to believe it is for us. We are so stubborn, refusing to take the mantle of greatness. If we could just believe in the good for our lives and others, God would be so pleased with us. I pray that God will help me to realize the depth of his love for me and that I will return that love for him. My prayer is for a clean heart to love God and to love you. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. Good night. I love you.

Being Fed


Romans 1:19-20

English Standard Version (ESV)
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.


The Lord said feed my sheep and you are and have done just that. We are being fed. You have touched our hearts and our minds. We have nothing but love for you. Rest your mind and know that your sheep are being fed. I love you very much. I pray that this is a start to a whole new chapter. A new beginning.

Love, live, learn

God when my fears are unfounded, let me have faith in you. I pray that I stay committed and alert to you. We are family,I am your beloved and you are mine. No matter what happens we got each other's back. I am yours and you are mine. I fight with you. Your battle is not yours alone. You do not walk alone. Stand tall and know that I am with you. I will be at the forum. I am committed to your vision.  I will be at church. I will be at the revival Monday and Tuesday. I love and support you. I am with you to The end. I love you and pray for us daily. Be secure in that knowledge.

Consider it All Joy


Matthew 24:45-51

New International Version (NIV)
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


Father God thank you for today. It seems as if everything is coming against us. If it can go wrong it will. But I will humble myself before the Lord and walk with the Lord on my mind. You are my strong tower and my salvation. I trust you Lord. Glory to your name. Keep our hearts together. I trust you Lord to walk with me today and to handle all of the challenges before me. I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU.

Lover of My Heart


28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.

Father God, I love you. You make it clear when you convict me with your words. My mouth is used to worship you and to spread kindness and your words to other. I will not continue to use it to curse man. Man is made in your image so it's like I am cursing you. Lord, I will try very hard to remember that when I am dealing with the trifling wretchedness of your people, but how can I say I love you and would never dream of cursing at you but will have a situation and curse words will fly out of my mouth at school to another teacher. We are just talking about our situation and students so we have challenged ourselves to stop cursing. I placed the challenge there and even if they don't follow along, I will. Though lord you saw how easy it was to fall. There is power in the tongue. I will tame this tongue. I am so committed to you. My heart longs for a relationship with you. I am with you and committed to you. You have my heart , mind , and soul. I want to be with you. I love you and will always love you. For better or worse, we are one, we are together, forever.

Who Jesus Really Is

Matthew 15:10-20

New International Version (NIV)
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[a] If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

My God in Heaven, how do I thank you for all that you have done for me. You woke me up this morning. I am blessed to read the bible and to be strengthen in my faith. My doubt has been removed. You are the King of King, Lord of Lord. I will worship you. I pray to you. I pray that you will be in my workplace, my home, my car, my church, my faith community. Any place that I have to interact with, I want you there Father God. Show me what to do and when to do it. You might want to dispatch some of your warring angels for me because this has been a rough winter. I have been under attack for quite some time and it doesn't seem to want to let up. But I will not give up. I will remove all doubt about you Jesus. Help me through this day Lord. Keep me safe. I love you.
