Restore people gently!

 Dearest Christ followers, we need to remember that we have all sinned.  There is no one righteous on earth.  All have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of GOD.

When we find someone sinning, we need to restore them gently.  At the same time, we need to watch the manner in which we do this.  We can be tempted to sin as well. 

Everything we do needs to be done in love, shining the light of JESUS into this ever darkening world.

Today, let us resolve to remember that we are all sinners, saved only the Grace of GOD and the redemptive blood shed by our SAVIOUR for us on that CROSS of Calvary.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU show me how to be far more gentle and loving in my approach to others.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.   Amen.

Stay humbly JESUS Blessed today!

Walk in the SPIRIT!

Dearest CHRIST followers, we are blessed to have the HOLY SPIRIT come and dwell in us when we believe in JESUS as our REDEEMER.

Therefore, if we are living in the SPIRIT, let us also walk in the SPIRIT.

What we need to do is to shine the light of the world, JESUS, in the world.  We do that by having the HOLY SPIRIT work in our lives.

The fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.  

As this world grows further and further away from our FATHER in Heaven, let us ask our FATHER to fill us anew with HIS HOLY SPIRIT and then we need to do our part and let the HOLY SPIRIT work in us to produce the fruit.

This is not easy, but with regular communing with our FATHER and petitioning HIM daily to fill us up again, we can start to let the HOLY SPIRIT do HIS work in us. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly thank YOU for my REDEEMER, JESUS CHRIST.  FATHER, I pray that YOU would fill me anew with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT and let the HOLY SPIRIT work in my life to give me the fruits of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that only YOU can give to me.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay faithfully JESUS Blessed today!

Blessed are the pure in heart!

 Dearest CHRIST followers, the above was said by JESUS when HE was teaching on the Mount of Olives.

The question we need to ask ourselves is, how pure are our hearts?

We need to remember that GOD knows every thought we ever had or will have.  And it goes to the purity of our hearts.

The only way to have a pure heart is to be like JESUS.  This means that we need to start to act in way that JESUS would have done, had HE been us.  

Therefore, we need to take every thought captive and not only that, we need to purify our hearts.  We need to get rid of strife, malice, envy, hatred, rage and fill our hearts with kindness, love, compassion, mercy, kindness, joy and gladness.

This, I fear, is much easier said than done.

But we can start off today and get rid of bad thoughts, hatred, anger and malice. 

Let us resolve to purify our hearts, one small step at a time, but doing a little bit every day.

PRAYER: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU help me to purify my heart to become more like JESUS.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay graciously JESUS Blessed today.

Wisdom

 Dearest CHRIST follower, we can have wisdom if we will ask GOD for it.  Wisdom is a free gift given by GOD to all who will ask for it sincerely.

Wisdom helps us to discern good from evil.  It helps us to have discernment, and wisdom instructs us when we are making decisions.

All we have to do is use the wisdom that GOD gives us.

In all our planning and endeavors the wisest thing we can do is to ask GOD.  And then wait on our FATHER to show us the way.

Today let us earnestly ask GOD to give us wisdom.  It is a wise thing to do.

Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU give us such good gifts.  I thank YOU for all that YOU are and all that YOU have done for me.  FATHER, today, I humbly pray that YOU give me wisdom.  I thank YOU in the HOLY Name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay wisely JESUS Blessed today!

Sin starts with our thoughts!

 Dearest CHRIST followers, we need to control what we think.  Sin is born from thoughts.

When we start to monitor what we read, what we watch and what we hear, we start to realize that sin is born in our thoughts.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers.

The devil knows how to twist the truth so that we start thinking and then start believing that what we are doing is "not so bad".

Then when our thoughts have taken hold of our hearts, they give birth to sin.

As CHRIST followers, we need to take every thought captive and make it obedient to JESUS.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU fill me anew with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT.  FATHER help me to take all my thoughts captive through the conviction of the HOLY SPIRT and to make them obedient to JESUS.  I humbly pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay obediently JESUS Blessed today!
