1Timothy 4:12

"Let no man despise thy youth;

but be thou an example of the believers,

in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

 

You Are An Example To Others!

Don't be looked down upon because you're young, but be an example to others.

Show people Godliness through your words, your love, and with a clean life-style.

Practice saying little or nothing when you don't have something good to say.

You might be surprised to know that you can be an example even to your elders!



Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I commit to being an example to my peers.

Let Your Light and Your Word shine through me even on my bad days.

Please help me to remember that others are watching me even when I'm not aware.

I receive your instruction, your wisdom, your protection and your protection on this day.

In Jesus' name I pray.

AMEN!

Isaiah 26:3 

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

whose mind is stayed on thee:

because he trusteth in thee. "

We Can Always Have Peace!

No matter what you are going through, you can have peace.

If you keep your mind on the Lord and meditate on His Word you can have peace in any situation.

When fear or anxiety try to come deliberately focus and keep your thoughts on Jesus and see for yourself!



Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I receive your peace right now and declare peace over my entire day.

I ask you to help me to keep my focus in the right place and help me to be careful what I allow into my mind.

I rebuke every spirit, thought, and imagination that is contrary to God's Holy Word and Holy Spirit.

In Jesus' name I pray.

AMEN!

Psalms 119:11 

"Thy word have I hid in mine heart,

that I might not sin against thee. "


His Word Will Keep You!

We serve an awesome and mighty God whose Word will never pass away.

His Word will keep us and bring eternal life, healing and a better life.

Do more than just read His Word occasionally, get it in your heart and it will stay!


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I receive Your Word into my heart.

I ask you to help me to study Your Word and teach me by Your Holy Spirit to understand it.

I pray for Your Word to come alive and me and change me from the inside out.

In Jesus' name I pray.

AMEN!

Proverbs 13:15

  "Good understanding giveth favour:

but the way of transgressors is hard."


A Life Of Sin Is So Hard.

Sin never pays and it always costs the one who sins.

Sin separates us from God and His power and favor in our life.

God doesn't  want us to sin because it hurts us and He loves us so very much.

It pays so much to study the Word of God daily and to develop the habit of getting and understanding of it.

Before you cross the line to give in to a temptation, think first about what it will cost you.

Though it is tempting to do some things you shouldn't do, no one regrets not giving into them afterwards.

It always pay to hear, know and speak the Word of God and to leave sin alone.

Jesus died a terrible death to keep us from sin, death and hell.

When you're not sure what someone is saying to you, it pays to get a good understanding.

Good understanding takes some time, but it's so worth it.


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank you for giving me an understanding about sin and its effect on me.

I love you Lord and I want to please you while I am here on this earth.

Please continue to teach me your ways and continue to open and shut doors in my life.

I am going to resist temptation and keep my mind on things above this day.

                                                                                  In Jesus' name I pray.

AMEN!

  James 1:19 

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren,

let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, slow to wrath:"

Listen, Then Slow Your Roll!

It is wise to listen and get an understanding.

It can be foolish to speak too soon.

Anger can cause you to want to speak quickly, but it pays to say little or nothing when angry.

Just because someone asks you a question, you are not required to answer quickly.

It is so powerful to think before you say anything.


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I ask you to help me to practice Your Word in this area of listening and speaking.

Please help me to be careful how I react to situations, mindful to please you with the things I say.

When I'm angry or frustrated please continue to be my guide and give me ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying.

I receive your blessings and protection over this day.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

James 1:8
"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."


We Must Have A Made Up Mind!

Having a made up mind to serve the Lord is critical while we are here on earth.

A real relationship with God means that we do what we are supposed to do, even when we don't feel like it.

A person with a made up mind to do what the Word of God commands is the most powerful kind of witness.

The world needs to see stability in us so that they can also be won for the Kingdom of God.

A mature person doesn't allow their feelings and emotions rule them!


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I want to be stable and Your Word and Your Presence brings me that.

I ask You to make me aware of Your Presence and Your angels throughout my entire day.

Lord I ask that you help me to grow up in Your Word that I might be strong and stable.

I want to be planted like a tree by water, rooted and ground in Your Word.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

1Corinthians 10:13 

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:

but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;

but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,

that ye may be able to bear it."

We Don't Have to Sin!

We can never say the devil made us do it.  He can't make us do anything.

When we are tempted we should resist it and move on.

For every temptation that comes from the enemy, God provides a way of escape.

This scripture tells us that there is no temptation that we cannot handle.

It's always up to you!


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank you for Your Word that keeps me.

I will resist temptation today that I might please you, the King of my life.

Lord I receive Your Word that gives me strength every day.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

James 4:7

  "Submit yourselves therefore to God.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

When You Resist the devil, He Will Run From You!

Give all of you to God.  You can trust Him with everything.

Remember you are the one with power given to you by Jesus.

Use your power to resist sin and temptation and exercise it daily.

Put up a fight and tell the devil NO!


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank You again for showing me Your Word and how to use it.

Please remind me throughout my day that I am more than a conqueror and to act like one.

I give myself to You completely this day and every day hereafter.

I put my trust in You Lord.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

James 4:8

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;

and purify your hearts, ye double minded."


It's Time To Get Closer To God.  Here's How.

Take time out of your day and devote it specifically to God.

Take time to talk to Him and listen for Him to talk back to you.

It takes time to get to know His voice, but it is peaceful, not anxious.

His voice says what the Bible says and will never steer you wrong.

Leave sinful things alone and do what you know to do.

Stay true to your God.

\

Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I take this time to draw nearer to You.

Please teach me to be still and to listen patiently for your voice.

I thank you for Your promise to draw nearer to me as I draw closer to You.

Let Your perfect will be done in my life this day.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Psalms 103:12 

"As far as the east is from the west,

so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."


You Are Forgiven!

It's time to let your past be your past.  

Don't dwell on wrong doing you did before, your sin has been removed from you.

Only the devil reminds you of your past, so you remind him of his future.

When your past comes up, remember that you are forgiven and speak it out loud.

You are free!


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank you so much for forgiving me for my past sins.

Please help me to forgive myself and make right anything that I can and then leave it in the past.

I ask You to help me not to do anything today that I will regret tomorrow.

I receive your blessings and forgiveness on this day.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Psalms 37:27 

"Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore."


The Simple Equation for Eternal Life

Your enemy would like it to appear that receiving eternal life is a complex equation.

Do what you know to do and don't do what you know not to do.

Learn what the Word of God says about how you should live your life and get an understanding.

Very soon you will be enjoying everlasting life!


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank you for the promise of eternal life with you.

Please help me to live out this day and everyday like it will be my last.

I rebuke the lies of the enemy and cast down imaginations.

I will endeavor to know the Truth that keeps me free.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Romans 6:23

"For the wages of sin is death;

but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "


The Paycheck for Sin is Death, but God's Gift Gives us Life Forever!

Nobody is glad they sinned after they have sinned.

Sin always produces some kind of death and regret.

God's free gift to us is a never ending life with Him without an end!

Pray before you do anything and God will always steer you away from sin.


Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank you that you are giving me an opportunity to live free from sin.

I resist the tricks, lies and temptations that the enemy tries to bring my way.

I give you complete access to me and allow your perfect will to be done in my life.

Please prepare me to be a sanctuary that is pure and holy for Your use.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Revelation 22:7 

"Behold, I come quickly:

blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."


Jesus Is Coming Back Soon and He is Carrying Your Eternal Reward!

Be sure to live your life as if Jesus is coming soon, because He is coming soon.

Continue to study and learn new things about God's Word to show yourself approved unto God.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but God's Word will never die.

Test, then trust what the Bible says and always get a good understanding.


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I thank you for another day to glorify You through my life.

Let me please You and be a Kingdom Builder today.

You are my Lord and I won't allow the world to dictate what I do.

I put my trust in You this day and I resist all temptation to do evil this day.

1Corinthians 13:4-7 

"Charity suffereth long, and is kind;

charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,

is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
  Beareth all things, believeth all things,

hopeth all things, endureth all things."


Is LOVE What You Think It Is?

The Bible tells us that love is patient and kind.

Love isn't happy when someone gets hurt, or punished, or "what they deserve."

Love is happy for the truth and hates lies and deception.

Love doesn't act crazy and doesn't glory in itself.

Love never celebrates sin or darkness.

Love tolerates a lot and forgives always.

Love isn't selfish, but is giving.

Aren't you glad that our God is LOVE?


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I thank You for the love you have displayed for me in my life.

I thank You for being so patient with me and kind to me.

I thank you for your provision and for my health and strength.

Lord, please help me to love like You love.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Matthew 6:33

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God,

and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."


God Has Everything You Need, So Seek Him First!

In our busy life it's easy to get our priorities mixed up.

Put God first and everything you need is automatically added.

Don't worry about tomorrow because your future is in His hands.

Be true to God even in uncertain times and trust Him.

He will ALWAYS take care of YOU!


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I put my trust in You, right here and right now.

I ask You to show me what is important to You.

I won't worry or be anxious but will believe that You will take care of me.

I bind the spirits of worry, doubt and fear.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Galatians 6:9 

"And let us not be weary in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap,

if we faint not."


Don't Give Up!

It's easy to say "I quit" but think about the consequences.

Don't stop doing good even though there are some days that aren't so easy.

Stay strong in the Lord and do His will and hold on to your peace and joy.

You have a harvest of blessing coming because YOU are an OVERCOMER!


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus,  I receive your joy right now to help me through.

Jesus, You are my rock, my safe place and my strong tower.

I receive your peace that goes beyond my natural understanding.

I thank You for being a very present and personal help in times of trouble.

I bind every anxious and depressing spirit or mind set that would try to cause me to stumble.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

Romans 12:1

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,

that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,

holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."


Your Body Belongs to God!

Once you are born again, it is important to remember that your body doesn't belong to you.

It is wise to allow the Spirit of the Living God to order your steps and to guide you.

We can hear God's voice guide us through His Word and through prayer.

Be careful that what you see, hear and touch brings honor to God.

You are a temple for the Holy Ghost to dwell in.


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus,  I give you all of me today.

I ask that you blot out my sins and complete me.

You are my rock and my steady place.

You know what is best for me.

I belong to You.

In Jesus' name I pray,Publish

AMEN!

 Romans 12:2 

"And be not conformed to this world:

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that ye may prove what is that good,

and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."


We Are to be Different.

God's Word tells us not to be like or similar to this world.

We are on a journey through this world, but we are not of it.

Our lives are to be examples to the world of a Holy Kingdom.

Always be aware that others are watching and need to see the Light in YOU!

Remember to be a child of the Light, you must first be born again.


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I ask You to continue the work that you began in me.

I make myself completely available to You.

I pray that Your will be done this day.

Deliver me from evil today.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

We Have a Job To Do!

It is our job to warn those who aren't living according to God's Word.

When we warn someone we shouldn't use threats, but love.

We are to bring comfort to those who are confused.

We are to help those who cannot help themselves.

We are to be patient with everyone.

We are servants of the Most High!


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I want to be more like you in every way.

I ask you to give me opportunities to show your love today.

Be glorified and let Your Kingdom increase because of the life that I live.

And Lord, when it comes to patients, I ask you remind me of Your Word that I may represent You well.

In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!

What To Do When Someone Does You Wrong.

What you say in the heat of battle determines the outcome

and shows others who you really are.


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I thank you for Your Word that is changing me.

I will endeavor to be a doer of Your Word and not a hearer only.

Everything God does for you is for your good.

It is God's desire for you to continue to grow.

God remembers your sin no more.

Your past is under the blood of Jesus!


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I thank you for washing my sins away.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

It Isn't Always Easy, But Hold On!

We receive patience by going through trying times.

Patience doesn't just fall on you, it is developed over time.

Be glad that you are going through things that make you stronger in Christ.

Continue to resist the devil and he will continue to flee.

Hold on to the precious gift that God gave you!


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

To be perfect means to be mature and complete.

Be patient, you won't regret it!


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I thank you again for teaching me patience and thank you for your grace.

Please help me to be slow to speak and to think before I say anything.

Real Promotion Comes from God!

If we do our part, God will certainly do His part.

If we do things according to God's Word, then growth is automatic.

Don't be concerned with impressing people, but please Almighty God with obedience.

The opposite of humble is proud and God resists the proud.


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I humble myself under Your Mighty Hand this day.

Colossians 3:8

  But now ye also put off all these;

anger,  wrath,  malice,  blasphemy,

filthy communication out of your mouth.


Be Careful What You Say!

It is always good to remind yourself to be careful what you allow out of your mouth.

Remember that anger wants you to react quickly, so slow down when you need to.

Always be encouraging and uplifting, not discouraging and condescending.

Course joking can quickly lead to trouble and displeasing the Lord.

It is always wise to think before you speak.


Let's Pray: (always pray out loud if you can).

Lord Jesus, I ask You to remind me to be careful throughout the day in what I say.

With Your help I commit to You not to sin, even when I am angry.

Let me be a light in the dark places I sometimes have to go.

 In Jesus' name I pray,

AMEN!
