“The weapon of prayer against the forces of evil prevails. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings life.”

Dear all,
Praise the LORD.
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
How great are His signs, How mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom: His dominion endures from Generation to generation.

Word: Hebrews 4: 16; Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4: 16
Thought: Prayer is our approach to God, and we are to come “boldly” because He is our friend and Counselor. But also come with reverence because He is our King.

“Oh, the wonders of prayer! ‘Abraham’s servant prays…Rebekah appears. Jacob wrestles and prays and prevails with Christ…Esau’s mind is wonderfully turned from the revengeful purpose he has harbored for twenty years. Moses cries to God… the sea divides. Moses prays…Amalek is discomfited. Joshua prays…Achan is discovered. Hannah prays…Samuel is born. David prays…Ahithophel hangs himself. Asa prays…a victory is gained. Jehoshaphat cries to God….God turns away his foes. Isaiah prays…the dream is revealed. Daniel prays…the lions are muzzled. Daniel prays…the seventy weeks are revealed. Ezra prays at Ahava…God answers. Nehemiah starts a prayer…the King’s heart is softened in a minute. Elijah prays…a drought of three years succeeds. Elijah prays…rain descends apace. Elisha prays…Jordan is divided. The church prays fervently..Peter is delivered by an angel. – Adapted from Streams in the desert by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Matthew 6:25-34 – The Cure for Anxiety

 Look at the birds of the air that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will [i]care for itself. [j]Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Thought: Why worry?

From the rising to the setting of the sun, God’s name will be exalted among the nations – Malachi 1:11

Do not forget your Father in Heaven (Romans 12). He loves us more than we could ever imagine! When we have the Lordship of Christ Jesus in our day-to-day life, certainly we can face tomorrow with the confidence we have in Him.

Holy Spirit’s Vision Inscribed In Touch Vs Worldly vision

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word: Matthew 6: 19 – 24 – The Truth about Treasures

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Thought: Holy Spirit’s Vision Inscribed In Touch Vs Worldly vision

Spiritual vision is to see clearly what God wants us to see the world from His point of view. But this spiritual insight can be easily clouded and entangled by “selfish” desires and sinful attitudes. The  Bible says a good eye is one that is fixed up on Jesus (Hebrews 12: 1-2).

Religious Vs Relationship

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Word: Matthew 6: 1 – 18

Thought: Religious Vs Relationship

In this passage, Jesus gives us a significant insight about our Heavenly Father. He is not only majestic and holy but personal and loving. We can call Him Abba Father (Romans 8: 15).

Are we merely religious? Or do we have relationship with God in Christ Jesus? When we do have the relationship, we cannot hide the Aroma of Christ Jesus in every part of our day-to-day life.

Spiritual discipline – When you “Give” – “Pray” – “Fast” – Do it secretly

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Word: Matthew 6: 1 – 18

HS 4

Thought:

In this passage, Jesus gives us a significant warning in three areas of Spiritual discipline.

When you give” Do it secretly”

When you pray” Do it secretly”

When you fast” Do it secretly”

Jesus wants us to get the best compensation possible, so He tells us to be sure we are working for our Heavenly Father and not for other people. He will never disappoint you.

Thought:  Only God deserves to be glorified and lifted up in worship.

Lift up Prayers of celebration in three ways:

  1. Celebrate God’s Kingdom as it breaks into this world.
  2. Rejoice in God’s power as you relinquish your own.
  3. Declare God’s glory by bowing your knees, lifting your voice, and giving Him praise.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one

May God our Father and LORD Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Ephesians 1: 2

Word: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6:13

33

Thought: God has promised that He won’t allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear (1 Corinthians 10: 13). Let us stand on the promises of God and resist the devil in the name of Jesus! Choose God’s way by the help of the Holy Spirit.

Be an inspiration of truth

Greetings. May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Word:  Matthew 5: 14 – 17 says, you are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Thought:

Can you hide a city that is sitting on top of a mountain? Its light at might can be seen for miles. If we live for Christ we will glow like lights, showing others what Christ is like. We hide our light by

  1. Being quiet when we should speak
  2. Going along with the crowd
  3. Denying the light
  4. Letting sin dim the light
  5. Not explaining our light to others
  6. Ignoring the needs of others.

Christ Jesus – An open door – A Low door- A Narrow door

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word: What is a door? What is the purpose of a door?

John 10: 7 – 11 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Truly, Truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. “The thief comes only to steal, and kill and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.

A Low door – Isaiah 57:15

A Narrow door – “But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:14
