View MoreGood morning God’s amazingly blessed one!! “Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven. Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man. What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever. But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”
1 Corinthians 15:47-58 NLT Today Father God I will remember to remain strong and immovable in my faith and love for You!!🙏🙏🙏

View MoreGood morning God’s precious child!! “If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.”
1 Corinthians 13:1-10 NLT Today Father God I will be demonstrator of the love You showed me through the sacrifice of Your Son my Lord and my Savior!!🙏🙏🙏

When a person's conscience is "seared" or "cauterized", we relate this to a wound... if a wound is cauterized, it becomes scar tissue and is unable to feel anything. Similarly, when people's conscience become cauterized, they become tough and numb, unable to feel what they should feel.
Years of disobedience and personal pain can make us hard instead of gentle, but through God's grace we can change. We want to stay tender towards God, so we can immediately sense when we are hurting ourselves and others.
Heavenly Father, please, give us tender hearts to stay conscious of our conscience so we can be sensitive to Your dealings with us. Give us strength to obey Your instructions and by doing this, we can serve Your Kingdom with love, always.
Amen

"after a few days, coming back from an awful bender, I sat there in my favorite chair... in that same house, married to that same woman, with those same kids, working at the same job wishing I was dead, and feeling like I was in hell.
Years later as a result of AA, the 12 Steps and a spiritual awakening, I sat in that same chair, in that same house, married to that same woman with those same children, working at the same place... and I cried because I knew I was in heaven, and I said maybe, just maybe Heaven is just a new pair of glasses." ~Chuck A Chamberlain~ (paraphrasd)
Lord, please, set aside everything we think we know about ourselves, about others, about this world, about the recovery process and especially everything we think about You... so we may have open hearts and open minds to have new experiences of all these things. Please help us see the Truth. Amen

I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work. Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:1-13 NLT Today Father God I will remember that I can ALL things through Your Son who strengthens me!! 🙏🙏🙏

They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Matthew 6:7-15 NLT Today Father God I will remember to do myself a favor and forgive!!🙏🙏🙏

If you still think you are strong enough to beat the game alone, that is your affair. But if you really and truly want to quit living in hell for good and all, and sincerely feel that you must have some help, we know that we have an answer for you... Your Heavenly Father will never let you down!" (paraphrased from BB p181)
Lord, please, help us stay willing to grow along Your spiritual lines. Help us to stand tall on the firing lines, to show others that are suffering, that we can help them come over to the winning side. This morning, Dear Father God, we ask that You continue to strengthen us. Give us more experience and hope, based on and in Your Love. Thank You for allowing us to help Your children... our family. Your will be done not the world's will. Amen

View MoreGood morning God’s redeemed one!! “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.”

I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God! What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises. Interlude What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem. O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, O God of Jacob. Interlude O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield! Show favor to the one you have anointed. A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”
Psalms 84:1-11 NLT Today Lord Jesus I will remember that You hold my entire life in Your loving hands. Thank You Lord Jesus!!🙏🙏🙏
