1Thessalonians 5:17
"Pray without ceasing."
Always Pray!
It is easy to take of talking or running without acknowledging God if you're not careful.
Always take time to pray, even if you need to whisper.
When you acknowledge Him, He will guide you to something better than you would have.
There are so many people you effect that you cannot afford not to be in constant communication with Your God.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I ask You to guide my every move today.
Please go ahead of me and open and shut doors and straighten my paths to Your perfect will.
I will not be stubborn or impatient but will listen for Your direction in all things.

Keep Yourself Humble!
1 Peter 5:6
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"
Doing whatever you want to do without acknowledging your Lord is a form of pride.
Don't be afraid of consulting the Lord about everything in fear of Him saying "no" or "wait."
Whenever you acknowledge the Lord, He will direct you and always for YOUR good.
Pride is a spirit killer and will only harm you and cause God to have to humble you.
It is a much easier process to humble yourself and surrender you life to Christ on a daily basis.
When you humble yourself, God Himself will raise you up to a level beyond anything man could every do!
HUMILITY LOOKS GOOD ON YOU!
Lord Jesus, I resist pride, arrogance and stubbornness right now.
I humble myself in Your sight knowing that You are coming soon.
I WILL be obedient to You and those who have the rule over me.
Please show me Your correction, direction and Your wisdom today.
In Jesus' matchless name I pray, Amen.

Correction Is NOT A Bad Word!
Proverbs 3:11
"My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:"
Correction doesn't mean to point out your faults but to give you a better way to do what you are doing!
Remember when the Lord has to "spank" you He is doing it because He loves you so much!
When you allow yourself to be corrected, you are setting yourself up for something better.
Correction helps us to live better, treat others better and to receive greater benefits.
If you listen throughout the day the Lord will "correct" or "guide" you to something
better than you may have guided yourself to.
Don't be afraid of the word correction.
Lord Jesus, I resist pride, arrogance and stubbornness right now and receive Your correction.
You are never wrong and Your way is so much higher than my way.
I open my spirit to hear what Your Spirit is saying to me this day.
I WILL obey Your voice and I WILL be blessed!
In Jesus' matchless name I pray, Amen.

We Must Stay Ready and Tell Everyone of Jesus' Return!
Revelation 22:8-15
"And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen,
I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still:
and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
Even the rankest sinner can sense the shift that is taking place in the atmosphere.
Jesus is coming back very soon and He has our reward with Him!
The question for you today, is what are you doing for the Kingdom?
If your works were to be weighed on a scale, would what you are investing into the Kingdom
of God outweigh what you are investing into things that entertain and bring pleasure?
Do your thoughts center on things above or on things of the earth?
Are you known as a man or woman of God or would someone find it hard to believe you are Christ like?
Jesus is returning on a day just like this day.... What were you doing before you read this?
There will be no announcement of His coming back which is why He said "I come quickly."
If this letter finds you in a state that you are not ready, do something about it right NOW!
Take the things of God more seriously than any other thing in your life.
Don't live according to how you feel, but according to God's perfect will and His Holy word.
Deal with the fact that there will be opposition and hardship. That is why this is a battle.
Live your life from now on like Jesus could come back any second. Stay Ready!
Lord Jesus, I ask You to continue to make me ready and to have an ear to hear Your voice always.
Please rearrange my priorities to fit Your Kingdom purpose and not my own.
Please renew my mind this day and help give me a new hunger for Your Word and Your presence.
I want to make it to that City where You are Lord and I want my life to line up.
I resist stubbornness and selfishness and every temptation of the devil right now.
In Jesus' matchless name I pray, Amen.
