DAY FOURTEEN:    

Palms18:1-3

“I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.”

I do NOT become victorious by being a great conqueror of the enemy. I ONLY become victorious in great dependence on God, through total surrender to Jesus Christ. And then I experience the powerful and victorious leading of His Holy Spirit.

DAY THIRTEEN:    

Isaiah 51:16

“I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand — I, who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’” 

Malachi 4:2

“But for you who revere My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”

The healthiest Christians you will ever meet are those who take a daily dose of God’s Word and choose to believe God is faithful to His Word. 

DAY TWELVE:    

Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things that you don't know." 

Today lets call out to Jesus!  

* Let's call out for our families, that forgiveness and love will reign!

* Let's call out for our children, that they will have the courage to stand strong with Jesus! 

* Let's call out for our church, let's pray for Pastors and leaders and ask that God will anoint them and give them courage. And that our churches will stand as one under the CROSS!

* Let's call out against the violence and anger that is prevailing our society!

* Let's call out for a renewed love for HIM.

Dare to join me in calling out to Jesus today and often, as we trust HIM to do more than we could possibly imagine.

DAY ELEVEN:    

Romans 1:16-17

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Thank you, Lord Jesus for Your gift of salvation. You suffered beyond imagination, by choice, so that I might discover Your power, purpose and plan for my life. Give me strength to embrace that plan and help me to be passionate about bringing glory to You in all things.  ~ Amen

DAY TEN:    

Romans 1:11-13

“I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.” 

Not much is accomplished when I tell of how great God is, but live life inconsistently with His true calling on my life.

We have been given the joyful task of discovering God’s gifts and using those gifts to be encouraged and to encourage others. Then we will see the incredible harvest that Paul is writing about here in Romans One.

DAY NINE:    

Romans 8:18 

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”

Romans 8:31

“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

God does not allow His people to go through trials so that we will be defeated. Quite the contrary! His plan is for us to press in to Him in those times and ultimately be victorious! That’s right, press in to Him and He presses us forward in victory! And the “us” in that scripture reminds us that we press and learn and grow together as His TEAM. His church.

DAY EIGHT:    

2 Corinthians 8:9 

I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you, through His poverty, might become rich.

The most powerful key to authentic belief in God, is right in front of our eyes. The more we KNOW Him, the more we will BELIEVE Him. His Word is filled with reasons to love a God who would give up everything to reconcile your heart and mine to Himself. Such love!!

"Thank You, Lord for salvation and for the privilege of following You while experiencing the joy of connecting with others who also believe in You."   ~ Amen
