1Thessalonians 5:17
"Pray without ceasing."
Don't Stop Praying!
You will never regret praying through every step you take.
You will regret not praying or praying only a little.
If you acknowledge our all knowing God, He will direct your ways. He is never wrong!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I lift my life and the lives of those around me unto You.
I give to You my ways to make them Your ways and ask You to put me in Your perfect will.
I resist having a proud, haughty or stubborn spirit.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:21
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
Be Sure And Hold On!
Don't believe something because you heard it or because it sounded good.
Don't believe something just because you like the person that told you.
Find out what is true and if it lines up with God's Word and then practice it.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for the Holy Spirit that will teach me all things and show me what is true.
I will hold on to that which is true and of God and I will walk it and talk it.
I bind every lying spirit that would try to speak to my mind.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

1Thessalonians 5:5
"Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness."
Remember Who You Are!
Light and darkness are opposites.
Evil is opposite of good.
You are good and of the light.
Avoid darkness always.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I proclaim that I am a child of the light and of the day.
I want nothing to do with night or darkness (evil and sin).
Let my light shine in the darkness and let others turn from their sinful ways.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

1Thessalonians 5:11
"Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."
Comfort and Lift Each Other Up!
Go through life challenging yourself to be a blessing to somebody every day.
Bring someone peace or joy and show love without expecting anything back.
Never put anyone down for any reason because that is not what you were made to do.
Rather speak life and blessing even when your flesh feels like doing otherwise.
This kind of lifestyle will ultimately be good for YOU and those you bless.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I want to be a blessing and encouragement to someone today.
I ask You to show me someone that needs me to share the gift you have given me.
I resist being selfish or lazy regarding blessing others.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen

2Timothy 1:7
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
You Never Need Be Afraid!
Don't be afraid of your circumstances because fear will only open a door for other negativity.
Know and announce into the air with your voice that you have power over the enemy.
You are not crazy, but you have a sound mind and you are not powerless, but powerful.
Use the Holy Spirit that God gave you and do not be afraid!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I exercise the authority you have given to me over fear and anxiety.
I am not afraid and I boldly say that I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus.
Satan, you are defeated and the blood of Jesus is against you.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

2 Timothy 3:12
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
Sometimes You Have To Suffer.
Don't allow this verse to scare you but to prepare you so that you're not surprised when hard times come.
The world (worldly or sinful people) hate you and they will not always be quiet about it.
The wonderful thing about suffering as a Christian is that you never go through it alone.
Jesus will never leave you comfortless or without His peace.
He is always with you!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I proclaim that I will not be afraid and that I will endure hardness as a good soldier.
No matter what comes I will live a godly live that pleases You and builds Your Kingdom.
I resist any urge to be timid or fearful.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
All Scripture Is Given By God To You To Perfect You.
To be perfect according to the scripture means to be made mature or complete.
Though the Bible was written with the hands of men, all of it was inspired by God.
The Word of God corrects, instructs, and is totally safe and wise to live by every word of it.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I receive Your Word, Your correction and Your direction for my life.
Do what You want to do in me and through me that I might reach the lost and fulfill Your will for me.
Lord, I ask that You continue to renew my mind daily through Your Word and through Your Spirit.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Colossians 4:2
"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;"
Keep On Praying!
Praying is a conscious effort and it is work but it needs to be done a lot and daily.
Praying changes everything and you could say more prayer, more power.
Also do the opposite of complaining and give thanks in everything. This pleases God and helps you.
These are simple guidelines to follow for the rest of your life.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I come to You lifting my life and the lives of those I effect unto You.
I give You every one of my circumstances and pray for Your perfect will to be done.
I thank You so much for the privilege of coming to You directly.
Please order every one of my steps this day.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Matthew 16:24
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
Follow Jesus And Leave The World Behind!
There is evidence that follows anyone who truly follows Jesus.
They are marked by peace, joy, love and blessing.
A true follow doesn't mind saying no to himself and waiting on the Lord.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I come to You setting all of my agendas and expectancies aside, ready to follow You.
I will bear my own cross gladly, knowing You will never leave me nor forsake me.
Please order every step I take today.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

1Thessalonians 5:14
"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,
comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men."
We Have A Job To Do!
We need to warn people of the consequences of sin and wild behavior because we care for them.
Another job we have is to give comfort and speak peaceful words to those who may be challenged in their minds.
We need to stand up for and help those who aren't able to help themselves.
We should always be patient with those who get on our nerves and those who give us grief.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I will do the jobs that You have shown me to do in Your Kingdom.
I desire to be an example of a believer that You may tell me "well done" when I see You for myself.
Do with me as You will this day and order my steps.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth."
Do Your Homework!
It is difficult to know what God is saying if you don't know His Word.
When He speaks to us He will always say something that lines up with his Word.
We study the Word not to impress others but to get God's approval.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus please continue to teach me Your ways and Your perfect will for my life through Your Word.
I pray that You give me consistent behavior towards learning Your ways.
Please lead and guide me this day.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

1 Peter 1:16
"Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
Being Holy Is A Command!
Being holy is not a request from God to all men, but it is a commandment.
To be holy means to be without spot or blemish or to be completely clean on the inside.
God is a holy God and the children of His Kingdom are holy.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I ask you to clean me on the inside and make me holy this day.
I ask You to renew and cleanse my mind and let my thoughts be Your thoughts.
Teach me how to live my life according to Your Word in holiness.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Psalms 1:1-6
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."
How To Be A Blessed Man!
Happy, protected and at peace is a person who doesn't get advice from worldly or sinful people.
This person doesn't do what sinners do and doesn't pick others people apart or put them down.
It is this person who loves the instruction and correction of God and thinks about it constantly.
This person will be well adjusted, solid, have a good disposition and whatever he does will be successful.
Sinners and evil doers are the opposite of this and will eventually be overtaken and destroyed by their sin.
The sinners won't stand with the saints in the end but will be like a vapor or mist that disappears.
Jesus knows the righteous and He makes their way, but those who serve other Gods will die.
This kind of death means separation from God, because He is the Life.
Choose this day and every day to serve God with all of your heart no matter what.
Don't let your feelings dictate what you do, but let God's voice (His Word) order your every step.
You will never regret one sacrifice you make to serve Almighty God!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I give myself over to You completely. I am Yours and I belong to You.
Do with me as You will. I renounce sin and evil thoughts and ways. I turn from them.
Fill me now with Your precious Holy Spirit. I receive Your Spirit, Your blessing and Your instructions.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Galatians 5:19-21
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
What Never To Do.
The hard fact is that not everyone will enter into the Kingdom of God.
Take time to look up and understand these words that you wouldn't be found doing any of them.
Basically, sexual sin, dirty lifestyle, crazy uncontrolled or obnoxious behavior, hateful behavior, lying, stealing,
killing, getting drunk, doing drugs, fighting, revenge and unforgiveness will keep you from eternal life.
If you indulge in some of this behavior, simply repent (ask God to forgive you and turn from it).
Resist the urge to do any of them. Like when you lift weights, you will keep getting stronger with repetition.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I give myself over to You completely. I am Yours and I belong to You.
I turn from all wickedness and deception and embrace all that You have for me.
Take the steering wheel of my life and lead me where You want me to go.
Please forgive me for any sin I have committed and wash me today.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Galatians 5:22-26
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
Evidence That You Are Of God's Kingdom.
There are some specific signs that follow someone who is a child of God.
The first of which is love which isn't speaking of a feeling, but of an action.
Love does right by someone even when they do you wrong and love doesn't waiver.
Joy is like happiness but you can have it always and it doesn't take pleasures or things to get it.
Peace is something you can and should always have even in extremely difficult times.
Longsuffering is the ability to endure harness for long periods of time while still doing the right thing.
Take time to know the words in these verses and then live by them. You will be so glad you did.
Don't desire to be seen or approved of by people and don't be jealous of what others have.
Don't put others down to try to make yourself look good.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I choose this day to walk in the Spirit and to adopt it as my character and lifestyle.
I crucify my flesh or say no to evil desires that are presented to me. I resist the devil in all of his forms.
Lord have Your way in me and may Your Kingdom be increased through me.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Romans 8:37
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
We More Than Win!
When you belong to Christ you are more than a winner and more than victorious.
The devil CANNOT defeat you neither can your circumstances, but you can defeat yourself.
We are not winners by ourselves, but through Christ Jesus.
If we acknowledge Him in every situation, He will lead us to victory every time.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I begin this prayer by proclaiming that I am more than a conqueror. I am a winner through you.
I recognize that it is You and Your Word that is keeping me and leading me to success and maturity.
Please guide me this day and order every one of my steps.
In Jesus' name I pray.

You have nothing to worry about ever, because God is for You.
God created everything that is, to include you and He can fix anything.
Continue to seek the Lord in all kinds of problems and trouble. He will deliver you!
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I give You the situations that can cause me to worry and I put my trust in You.
I break the power of worry, anxiety and fear and I receive joy and peace.

"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;"
Allow Your Mind To Be Cleaned Daily
Take time to be in the Word of God everyday and to absorb what you read and then practice it.
God's Word will change you especially when you make it a point to live by it.
Pray about what you read and ask the Holy Spirit to give you an understanding.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I receive Your Word into my spirit this day.
I ask that You continue to teach me as I continue to draw closer to You.
Please help me to be a light and an encouragement to someone today.

Ephesians 4:31
"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:"
"Bitterness And Negativity Hurt You And Everyone Around You"
It's so easy to get your feelings hurt or to hold a grudge when someone hurts you or to dwell on something bad.
The Bible tells us to put these things away and this does take work, but it is work worth doing.
Don't let these things dim the light that is in you, but continue to dwell on good, clean and uplifting thoughts.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I ask You once again to regulate my thinking to match Your thinking.
Please cleanse my mind of every impure, negative and hurtful thought.
Your name Jesus, is above every name to include bitterness.

Ephesians 4:32
"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
"This Should Be How We Are Known"
It is easier to be kind and tenderhearted when you imagine putting yourself in someone else's circumstance.
People who are hard to deal with are usually only reacting to their situation and not directly at you.
Thinking this way makes it way easier to forgive, show compassion and to move on.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I forgive those who have trespassed against me.
I break the spirit of unforgiveness in my life and I refuse to hold a grudge.
Please help me to show compassion as a lifestyle.

Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
"The Power of Having Faith"
Faith is simply believing that God exists, even though you can't see Him.
Faith is believing that God sees your situation and will solve it even though it may look impossible.
God rewards those who have faith and those who continue to get to know Him and His ways.
If you are struggling with your faith, try telling God "I put my trust in You."
He understands your struggle and will reveal Himself to you just for asking.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I take this time to seek Your face and Your plan for my life.
Please speak to my heart and increase my faith.
I put my trust in You. My life is in Your hands.

James 1:19
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:"
"Be Quick To Listen And Slow To Talk"
Just because someone asks you a question does not mean that you are required to answer quickly.
Always take time to think and even pray before you say anything. This is wise.
Don't be easily angered. The feeling of anger will go away soon and you will be glad you didn't react quickly.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I will take heed to Your Word and think before I speak.
Please help me to be a good listener and help me to discern what people are really saying.
I bind every lying and deceptive thought and spirit.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
"Whatever You Plant Will Grow!"
If you are tired of getting the same results in an area of your life, then it's time to do things differently.
When you plant a corn seed, you get corn in the natural realm.
When you plant or commit sin you will get destruction.
When you plant God's Word in your life, you get everlasting life, peace, joy and God's provision.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I receive Your Word today and I will live by it.
Please continue to teach me the difference between good and evil that I may please You.
I refuse to do things my way and I commit my ways unto You.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
"Surround Yourself With The Truth!"
The world is constantly entertained by lies, fiction and fantasy which causes confusion
The devil is the author of confusion and the father of lies.
Stick with the Word of God and surround yourself with others that desire to do the same.
Be separate (don't continually fellowship) from those who love lies and drama as they will bring you down.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus I thank You for sanctifying me and setting me aside for Your use.
I cast away everything that separates me from You and Your will.
I will not be mixed up with unnecessary battles and conversations that bring me down.

"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
"Only Jesus Can Satisfy"
It is impossible for the things of this world to satisfy. They can only temporarily gratify.
The things of this world will leave you barren and wanting more and will lead to separation from God.
The Spirit of God IS Living Water and will satisfy your soul and will lead you to everlasting life.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus You are my wellspring of life.
You are my Creator and the One who orders my steps.
Please fill me with Your Spirit right here and right now until I am running over.

1Chronicles 16:25
"For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods."
"Wholeheartedly Reverence The Lord!"
We live in a time where there is little or no fear of the Lord or respect for His chosen people.
We are children of the light and not of the dark and we do fear (deep respect and reverence) Almighty God.
We must also be a blessing to and NEVER speak evil of His people, especially those called His chosen (the Jews).
The Word of God is clear about how we should treat God and His people.
Jokes and conversations regarding God or His people should be sharply corrected.
You should stay clear of anyone who blasphemes God or talks down about His people.
If you need correction in this area, simply repent and never participate in this kind of behavior.
There is only ONE living God and He is to be greatly praised and shown adoration.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus You are the Son of the Only Living God and I reverence You.
I count it a privilege to be one of Your children.
I will trust and obey You and will remain pliable to Your Spirit.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.

Matthew 12:36
"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."
"Live Your Life Being Careful What You Say"
Jesus told us that all of our words are being recorded and that we will give an account for what we say.
If you have spoken things that shouldn't be uttered ask the Lord to forgive you.
Once you are forgiven the Lord expects you then to turn from that kind of speech and foolish talking.
Use your words carefully to uplift, encourage and speak life and never to tear down and speak death.
Let's Pray (always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus please continue to help me watch what I say and to think before I speak.
I commit my speech unto You and I am aware that You hear my words and my thoughts.
Please forgive me for any foolish talking I have done in the past.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
