Study of the Book of John
John 14:16
"And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;"
"The Importance of the Holy Ghost"
Jesus was on earth for a short time and told us that He would not let us be alone,
but would send us the Comforter or the Holy Ghost to be with us and guide us.
The power of the Holy Ghost is truly awesome. He will never leave you.
He is never wrong and He is always more powerful than any other spirit!
Invite the Holy Spirit into your temple and experience His amazing keeping power.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I invite Your Holy Spirit into my life to fill, lead and guide me.
Holy Spirit, I give you complete access to me.
Take what You need to take and add what You need to add.
I know that I need Your power active everyday in my life.
Have Your way Lord in me.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

John 14:26
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you."
"The Holy Ghost is Your Ultimate Teacher"
The Holy Ghost besides being a comforter and the Power of God is also a teacher.
He will teach you directly, through circumstances and through His people.
He will also remind you of things already learned so that you can continue to do them.
Be sure you are full of the Holy Ghost and that you are always led by Him.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for the precious gift of the Holy Ghost my Comforter and my Teacher.
Spirit of God, please remind me of those things that You have taught me that I might continue to please God.
I again receive Your peace, Your correction and Your direction.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Study of the Book of John
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
"No One and Nothing Can Give You Peace Like This!"
Peace is really what most people are looking for and only Jesus has the real peace that lasts.
Jesus has such peace to give that He commands us not to be worried or fearful.
Jesus also explains that there is nothing in this world that gives this true peace.
You can have this peace, but you must choose to have it.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for peace that is so plentiful and so great that it is hard to wrap my mind around.
Lord, You are my peace and I receive all of it that You have for me this day.
I bind the spirits of worry, doubt, helplessness, fear and anxiety.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Study of the Book of John
John 15:2
"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."
"Pruning Can Be Painful, But It Brings More Fruit!"
In the spirit realm we are expected to be fruitful, which pleases the Lord.
Sometimes the Lord has to cut away branches (or parts of our lifestyle) so that we can be more fruitful.
Don't complain or feel bad when the Lord corrects or brings about change.
It is always for your good and for the good of His Kingdom!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I desire to be like a tree planted by the river that brings forth much fruit.
Please do with me as You will and give me ears to hear Your instruction.
I give you full access to me and I pray that Your perfect will be done in me.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

John 15:3
"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."
"The Word of God Will Make You Clean Inside!"
Nothing can clean you up like the Word of God put inside your spirit.
The Word of God is only effective when you do it.
Try to read and digest the Word of God on a daily basis and see for yourself!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your Word.
You are the Bread of Life and I receive and accept every Word You said.
Please continue to give me an understanding of Your Word and let it flow through me.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

John 15:4
"Abide in me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."
"We Cannot Produce Kingdom Fruit Without Jesus"
In order to produce for the Kingdom of God we must have true relationship with Jesus.
We are not capable of producing for the Kingdom on our own.
Get as close to the King as you can a produce light and life.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, it is my desire to abide in You and for You to live in me.
I pray today that You would deepen our relationship as I get closer to You.
I pray that Your perfect will be done in my life today and that You would order every one of my steps.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Study of the Book of John
John 15:17
"These things I command you, that ye love one another."
"Love Each Other As The Scripture Teaches"
This love doesn't always have a feeling but is shown by how you treat others, even your enemies.
Love means to do right by someone who has done you wrong, even if your feelings are hurt.
True love as the Word of God teaches us is what separates us from the rest of the world.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I want to love like You loved with pure intentions.
Please remind me of the commitment I made to You, especially in trying situations.
I receive Your divine love and mean to spread it to those who You've put in my life.
I bind the spirits of animosity, strife, and revenge.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

John 15:20
"Remember the word that I said unto you,
The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;
if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."
"Don't Be Surprised That The World Hates You"
The closer you get the the Lord, the more you will see a separation from the rest of the world.
The Word of God lets us know that if we are friends with the world, we are enemies with God.
The Lord also commands us to come out from among the world and be separate.
Don't concern yourself with the approval of people because worldly people won't approve of a Godly person.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for setting me apart from the rest of the world.
I pray that Your light of love shine through me that I may win the lost.
I pray for the lost who are around me and I claim their souls for Your Kingdom
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

John 16:33"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world."
"Keep Your Peace and Your Joy, Even in Difficult Times!"
Jesus overcame the world and since He dwells in you, you are automatically an over-comer too!
This means that there is no situation that is too tough for the Lord to handle, so give Him everything.
Never stay discouraged but know that when You give the Lord a situation, know that He is big enough to solve it.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I put my life and all of its situations into Your well able hands.
You are my strength, my protector and my safe place.
I will not worry, nor will I be afraid because You are always with me.
I break the spirits of fear, confusion and anxiety in my life.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Proverbs 14:7
"Go from the presence of a foolish man,
when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge."
"The Word Warns Us Who To And Who Not To Keep Company With"
When you hear someone talking foolishly, the Word of God tells us to get away from them.
Bystanders will automatically think you are foolish if that's who you choose to keep company with.
Also, think before you speak and keep your words to a chosen few wise words.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I desire to speak like You spoke and to run everything by You before I say it.
Please help me to guard my tongue and to guard my mind by who I choose to associate with.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Proverbs 11:2
"When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom."
"Pride Never Benefits You"
Jesus was a lowly (not full of pride but high in self-esteem) and humble and yet He was and is King of Kings.
Pride comes right before you fall down, so keep pride away and be will to be accountable to your spiritual family.
Humility becomes a child of God and it pleases God as well!
Remember, without Him, we can do nothing.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I humble myself in Your sight and in the sight of my peers that You may always receive the glory.
I pray that Your Light always shine through me and that I never dampen that Light with pride.
I desire to be an example of Holiness and humility that is Kingdom worthy.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Proverbs 11:3
"The integrity of the upright shall guide them:
but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them."
"It Always Pays to Live Right!"
Integrity means means to have good values and to be trustworthy (or live according to God's Word).
Perverseness simply means to not do what is right (or to not live according to God's Word).
Transgressors are people who do what they know they are not supposed to do anyway.
Living right always pays, but especially in the end.
Living wrong never pays (might seem good at the time) and always destroys in the end.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for helping me to walk in integrity and away from the perverseness of the transgressor.
Please continue to speak to me when I pray and through the studying of Your Word.
Your Word I will hide in my heart that I might not sin against you.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Proverbs 11:14
"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety."
"Be Careful Who You Get Advice From!"
Being human, it can be tempting to look for advice from people who will say what you want to hear.
You must ask yourself, has this person been where I'm going?
Do they care about the outcome I will receive?
Will they tell me what the Bible says?
Do they just want to know my business?
Would God have me go to this person?
What is their track record (looking at the fruit in their lives) of being wise?
You will find that wise people who are trained in God's Word will generally say the same thing.
The wise, before they council you will first pray and acknowledge God before speaking to you.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for wisdom and wise council.
Please continue to open and shut doors of the relationships I have that I would be rightly guided.
I bind every lying, seducing and confusing spirit.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Proverbs 11:17
"The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh."
"It Is Unhealthy To Be Cruel!"
Have mercy on those who do you wrong or it can be bad for you.
Having mercy means that you won't punish the person who wronged you.
You may still have the feelings of anger or hurt, but mercy and forgiveness always pay off in the end.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I am committing to be a merciful and forgiving person.
Thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness towards me.
I resist vengeance and cruelty from entering into my heart.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Proverbs 11:28
"He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch."
"Don't Put Your Faith In Money!"
Money does pay bills and buys nice things, but we are not to put our trust in it.
God is our source and our provider and we must put our complete trust in Him.
God, not money, provides our necessities and good gifts.
Those who trust in God are the ones that have true riches (even when there is little money)!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I worship You as my source and my provider.
I thank You that You have and never will let me down.
I bind the mind set of doubt, anxiety and fear.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise."
"Winning Souls Is Added To Your Eternal Paycheck"
When you live right, (according to God's Word), you absolutely have to be blessed and it will show!
God will certainly supply your needs and will even give you the desires of your heart.
Leading others to Christ is not only a wise thing to do, but one of our main purposes here on earth.
Remember, you have the keys to unlock someone out of their chains of bondage!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for showing me how to be a righteous man according to Your Word.
I also desire to be a soul winner that I might be part of increasing Your Kingdom.
Please remind me, Holy Spirit, that I am always a beacon of light to a lost and dying world.
I pray for the souls of the lost ones around me and claim them for the Kingdom.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Proverbs 12:5
"The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit".
"Keep Watch Over Your Thought Life and Over Who Instructs You."
Your mind must be guarded from intrusion of those who speak evil and even from your own imaginations.
God's Word tells us that we can take control of our thinking and even cast down imaginations and lies.
Outcomes to situations have so much to do with what we say, which has everything to do with how we think.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I ask You to continue to help me with my thought life, that it would be pure and Holy always.
Lord, please help guard me from being deceived and from believing what is not true.
I bind every lying and deceiving spirit that would try to speak to my mind.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son,
that whosever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"How Much God Loved Us That He Gave His Only Son's Life!"
God gave His only son to die a terrible death so that our sins could be forgiven.
Think about how much love that took for Jesus to leave His Kingdom just to come and be abused and die.
Let us be so very thankful today and every day for the price that was paid to buy purchase our eternal life.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, today I want to say thank You from the bottom of my heart for the price You paid for my sins.
Today I rejoice that I am bought by Your precious blood and I'm on my way to see You very soon.
I will use every opportunity presented to me today to share this good news.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen!

Proverbs 14:34
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."
"Changing A City, A State, or A Nation Really Does Begin With You!"
More and more people are turning to God or back to God and practicing righteousness and holiness.
This will continue to spread not only through our nation but will spread across our globe.
People see righteousness and blessing in you and on you and want it for themselves.
Let us stay away from sin, reject sin, and not even talk about sin which never profits, but decays nations.
Your life is a key that will unlock life in someone else when you walk in true righteousness!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for righteousness and for a life free from sin.
Lord, I lift up my household, my extended family, my friends, my neighborhood and my country unto You.
I claim these souls for the Kingdom of Heaven and claim revival throughout the world.
I come against the rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in the places I go.

"The Paycheck for Sin Will Never Change"
It is our job to let the world know that sin is quickly corrosive and will always lead to death.
It is our job to let the world know that Jesus paid the price for sin and that they need only to repent.
The good news is that all can be forgiven and cleansed from their wickedness.
Put your time in for the Kingdom now because payday is right around the corner.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You for the price You paid for my sin and the sin of the world.
Please continue you to prompt and remind me to spread the awesome news that sin can be forgiven.
I resist the urge to draw back and stay quiet because someone may reject what I have to say.
I am bold and will spread the good news of the Gospel to the part of the world that God assigns me!

"All Who Live According To God's Word Are Accepted By Him"
Aren't you glad that God will accept those who obey Him?
He is not concerned with color, gender, or financial status, just a willing and obedient life.
You have every reason in spite of what you may be going through,
to be truly glad and rejoicing that YOUR name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I thank You so much that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
I thank You for eternal life and abundant life here on earth.

It is foolish to trust too much in yourself.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, You are my God and You order my steps.

"Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD:
though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished."
"Pride is A Dangerous Thing"
Pride is marked by excessive talking, a haughty look and over confidence in one's self.
Only God can cleanse a proud heart but the man with the proud heart must humble himself before His Lord.
Like David prayed, "create in me a clean heart oh Lord, and renew a right spirit within me.
Pride is not without a severe price.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, please expose any pride in my heart to me so that I can repent and be right with You.
I earnestly humble myself before You the best that I know how right here and right now.
Please cleanse me of everything that is not like You.
I resist pride in my life.

"And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;

"Jesus Also Warned Us About Pride"
Jesus Himself told us that whoever brags or lifts himself up will be cut down (abased).
If we remain humble, then God can lift us higher than we could ever lift ourselves.
Don't think you need to be recognized but understand that God sees all the good you do, even in secret!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, please expose any pride in my heart to me so that I can repent and be right with You.

Proverbs 16:32
"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."
"Controlling Your Temper Is A Great Sign of Strength, Not Weakness!"
The world tries to make someone with a terrible temper look strong, but the Bible says otherwise.
If you can keep yourself under control when you are attacked or under stress, the Bible says you are mighty.
Ruling your spirit means you don't always do what you feel like doing if it's wrong.
You do what you don't feel like doing if it is right.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I receive the gift of the Spirit, temperance.
I ask You, Holy Spirit, to remind me who I am when I am under pressure.
I resist having a short fuse and I resist saying whatever comes to my head.
Lord, I will be slow to speak and quick to listen.

" Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
"It Is Wise Not To Say Everything You Think and To Think Before You Speak"
As a servant of God it is wise not to speak too quickly because we are still only human.
Most questions don't generally require a quick response, but a quick response can often be regrettable.
Take time to think about what you are going to say before you say it.
Sometimes you will find you can get your point better understood when you take time to think about how to say it.
Make you words very few around those who are easily offended and your life will have more peace.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I again receive the gift of the Spirit, temperance.
Holy Spirit, please be the filter of my thoughts before I open my mouth.
I receive Your wisdom and patience that I might be a good representative of Your Kingdom.
I resist the urge to give hasty answers and to speak negativity.

He will not only hear you, but He will move on your behalf, whether you sense it or not.
Understand that all things that are happening are working together for YOUR good!
Call on the Lord, His name is above every name and so very powerful!
Call His name without doubting or focusing too much on your problem.
He is a strong deliverer!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I call on your mighty name and thank You so much that You hear my cry.
Please move in my situation and give me peace as I wait on Your way out.
I praise Your mighty and powerful name, Jesus for the victory!
I rebuke the spirits of doubt and anxiety right now.

"Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end."
"A Wise Man Will Seek Out and Receive Good Instruction"
We simply don't know it all and we will always be in a position to learn more.
The Lord is giving us an opportunity to stop learning the hard way and by trial and error.
Look for those who have already accomplished what you are trying to do and listen to them.
As said many times before, seek instruction from people who are living according to God's Word.
Seek instruction from those who are known as wise and have your best interest at heart.
When looking for instruction look up, not down.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, I receive Your wisdom, Your Understanding and Your instruction for today.

"There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel."
"Let Learning Be Something You Do Daily"
There is something new to learn every day and learning will effect what you say and how you say it.
The world is full of those who speak out of what they think instead of out of hard earned knowledge.
It is easy to damage those who listen to us by speaking of things we are unsure of.
There is only one truth pertaining to anything. Find out what it is before speaking.
Just because people listen to you doesn't mean you should do a lot of speaking.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can).
Lord Jesus, please continue to fill me with Your Truth and Your Ways.
I receive Your instruction and Your correction pertaining to every aspect of my life.
I give no place to pride, laziness or stubbornness in my walk.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.
