Freeing Angel

 

August 16

FREEING ANGEL – The story is told of God sending an angel to His servant Peter while he was in prison. God wanted Peter out of that situation, but He was using it to test Peter’s obedience to His messenger. Peter was awakened to the voice of the angel and a bright light in that dark prison cell. Without questioning or wondering, and with perfect, precision and obedience, he did exactly what God’s messenger told him to do. God’s angels are still sent to free you.

 

Make me like Peter Lord, perfect in obedience, even when I’m not fully cognizant. Amen! 

 

Read Acts 12: 5 – 9

 

Hold Fast To Prayer

 

Abandon prayer, God does not hear,

The devil whispers in your ear,

He tells you look and see it plain,

Your daily praying is in vain,

You pray for friends and family,

And beg, please remember me,

But nothing good ever takes place,

As the devil throws in your face,

That your God doesn’t for you care,

He shows no evidence, He’s there,

O how the tempter lets me see,

And easily I will agree,

That cares and pressures daily mount,

Becoming much too much to count,

And God is silent, no relief,

Praying only causes more grief,

What you expect you don’t receive,

You can’t in such a God believe,

Abandon prayer, the devil says,

Come, seek help by some other ways;

In pure weakness, feeling great fear,

From deep within, this I do hear,

Other ways? I know only one,

Jesus, God’s One, Begotten Son,

Abandon prayer, the devil says,

No! I’ll hold fast, God’s given ways.

                                                         Amen!

 

Water Made Available

 

August 15

WATER MADE AVAILABLE – The picture of the woman, stopping and lowering her water jar from her shoulder, to give a stranger water to drink, is not just beautiful and touching, but it is most reassuring. It is a perfect reminder of how very willing our Lord Jesus, the Fountain of all water, is to give us His water. He makes it available to us. He brings Living Water to our level, so that we may drink and be quenched of our thirst. 

 

Holy Jesus, no one is too small or too low for You to feed. Thank You Jesus. Amen!

 

Read Genesis 24: 18

 

Pray For Others

 

August 14

PRAY FOR OTHERS –

Prayer is the lifeline that’s needed today,

People are drowning you must for them pray,

In waters of darkness billows roll high,

Send out the lifeline or else they will die;

Many need help, ere the waters o’ertake,

As the huge billows around them do break,

Send out the lifeline with speed and with haste,

There’s no time to tarry, no time to waste.

 

Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray in faith for others, who are in need of the lifeline of prayer.  Amen! 

Read 1 Timothy 2: 1 - 2

 

Everlasting God

 

August 13

EVERLASTING GOD – God is your God for all times. He’s not fickle in His Love to us, His children. God never disowns His own for all times, for He knows that we are sinful and full of deceitful guile. He knows that we are an idolatrous and adulterous children and His Love knows exactly how to deal with us. Our everlasting God is our everlasting Love, who knows how to punish us and praise us, as He sees fit. 

 

Your everlasting Love, O everlasting God, saves from everlasting sin. Amen!

 

Read Psalm 90: 1 - 4

 

 

 

Friends Of Jesus

 

August 12

FRIENDS OF JESUS - Do you know that Jesus no longer calls you just His servants, but He is thrilled and super delighted to call you His friends? Jesus, our Lord and Master, says that if we obey His commands, we will certainly continue to be His friends. Do you realize and understand what an absolute privilege and unmerited honour it is to be called a friend of Jesus? This isn’t what you are calling yourself, or what others are calling you. This is what Jesus is calling you. O blessed, divine grace!

 

Jesus, You have called me Your friend. I will forever be Your friend, through the help of Your Spirit. Amen!  

 

Read John 15: 13 - 15

 

 

Enemy Talk

 

August 11

ENEMY TALK – What are your enemies saying about you? An army of wicked forces has been trying to take you down, but, because of your faith in Almighty God, because you have placed your hands in His Hands, no enemy has victory over you. What is the enemy saying? They can only attest to their inferior powers and your God’s Superior powers. Your unwavering faith and trust in God allows you to stand before any enemy, as He fights for you. God has never ever lost a battle and He will not make you the first person, in whom He loses a battle. He is LORD. 

 

Father, God Almighty, let all my enemies testify to Your unconquerable power, in any arena. Amen! 

 

Read 1 Kings 20: 23 – 28

 

God's Mercy

 

August 10

GOD’S MERCY – Will you let this sink deep within your very being? The mercy of God embraces anyone He wishes, regardless of who the person may be. Remember Saul, who became Paul? When God’s grace and mercy fell upon Saul, it had absolutely nothing to do with Saul’s desire to be a Christian. Everything this enemy of Christ was doing was injurious to the Church. Yet, God’s mercy flowed upon him and brought him from a persecutor of Christ to a preacher of Christ. Never underestimate God’s mercies.

 

Who can fathom Your mercy Father? Who knows which way Your Hand will swing? Thank You for mercy. Amen!

 

Read Romans 9: 16

 

Believe Without Reservation

 

August 9

BELIEVE WITHOUT RESERVATION – God wants you to believe in Him for your daily salvation. Believe Him for your needs and for all that He has promised to be and do for you. The condition is that you must believe, without doubting His ability, His honesty or His faithfulness to do as He promises.  God never, ever fails to reward, confirm and show up, every single person in Him, who believes, reservation-less. His track record is flawless. Believe God without any reservations whatsoever.

 

May God the Holy Spirit, help us in our believing to know the sure faith like our father, Abraham. Amen!
