GALATIANS 5:13 YOU, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WERE CALLED TO BE FREE. BUT DO NOT USE YOUR FREEDOM TO INDULGE THE FLESH; RATHER, SERVE ONE ANOTHER HUMBLY IN LOVE.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Lord Jesus Christ; Our greatest responsibility as born-again people is to love Sovereign God and one another. We followers of Lord Jesus Christ are called to that kind of life - constantly seeking to serve others and to give whatever is needed. That debt never goes away because Lord God Almighty's mercy and forgiveness of us is never ending. So, as we have received love, we need also to give love. “Not harming our neighbour" is the fundamental nature of Love. Alas, that is not as easy as we might think. None of us lives totally independent lives; so, whatever we do or say in order to please ourselves will in some way disadvantage or harm those around us.
However, that is a tough call because it is against our human nature. Yet it is the standard set by our Lord Jesus Christ. By contrast, a love start with an attitude that wants to give, and is willing for self-sacrifice. Indifference to the needs of others is unloving. Allowing our neighbor’s need to increase while we have the capacity to help, is like not paying our bills: as is failing to prevent harm from engulfing our neighbour, when it was in our power to do so. Of course, by that standard we all fail ... which is why we need Lord God Almighty's love to forgive us and then empower us to give to others as He has given to us. Freely you received, freely you give. Have a Lovable day in Lord Jesus Christ. Lord Almighty blesses you all. Stay blessed.

..."Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes" (Revelation 18:4). Oh God, what a wicked world we live in. You created it to be a beautiful place; a place where you would come and fellowship with your beautiful creation, but humans disobeyed and gave in to the deceitful voice of Satan. While I am in this world, please help me to not take place in the sins of the world; to resist temptation; to rebuke the voice of Satan and run to you for shelter. Thank you, God, for loving me. I want to please you and fellowship with you. Protect me, please. In Jesus%u2019 name. Amen.
Today's Prayer
Dear Father, let me never be an angry person who stirs up strife or a furious person who abounds in transgression. I pray that I will not be so filled with pride that I think of myself above others or mistakenly put myself upon a pedestal. Instead, let me be humble and honorable. May I be careful of those I partner with, that I am not brought down with those who steal and curse and do contrary to your Word. May I not fear humankind, but place my trust in you for my safety and my guidance. You are my God and my judge. You are the one I seek to please and honor. May I remain upright in my ways and turn away from anything wicked. My strength is in you. Thank you. In the name of my Savior I pray, amen. (based on Proverbs 29:22-27)
Today's Prayer
Dear God, I worship you and lift up my praise to you, my Creator and Sustainer. Thank you for showing me the things that bind me on this earth. Open my eyes that I may always be mindful of what may hold me in bondage. Help me to resist the things I should. Help me to steer clear of hazards and to draw strength from Your Holy Spirit when temptations are enticing me. Please help me to break free...and to experience total freedom in you. Thank you, my gracious God. In the name of my Savior I pray. Amen.
Today's Prayer
Dear God, Thank You for this day. Please help me to stand firm and to always give myself fully to Your work. I know that anything that is done for You in accordance to Your will is not in vain, but will reap showers of blessings. Although I may not always see immediate results or receive instant gratification (as so many want these days), I know that You are the Lord of the harvest, and that You will bring the results in the right time. Please guide, direct, and strengthen me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen
Dear Born again Children; When Lord asked Jacob, What is your name? Jacob said, %u201CI am Jacob," The name Jacob means "trickster" and he certainly lived up to his name. When he told his name, he was confessing to Abba Father who he really was. "I'm a liar and I'm a cheater." Lord blessed Jacob, and gave him a new identity and a new name, Israel! No longer would Jacob be a conniving manipulator, but became the progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel. And his faith found a place of honor in the book of Hebrews "Hall of Faith." Regardless of your past and what you've done, Lord Jesus Christ can give you a fresh start. Confess your sin and surrender to his love and authority. Let this be the day you claim your true identity in Lord Jesus Christ. Have a splendid day in Lord Jesus Christ! God bless you all.
Today's Prayer
Dear God, I am so sorry for being discouraged. I know it is just a process of grieving and working through pain in my life, but I don't want to get stuck here. I don't want to appear faithless to those around me. Please, help me to live victoriously through the power of Your Holy Spirit. Please, show me the way, and bring the word of Your unfailing love to me, that I may be comforted and that I may be a living testimony for You. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.

"You have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more. For you know the commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification" (1 Thess. 4:1-3). Dear Father in Heaven, Thank you for giving me your Word as a light unto my path and a lamp unto my feet. Please forgive me when I am "hard-headed" and do not follow your commandments. I want to do your will, which I understand is based on your Word. Sometimes it is difficult to live under the authority of certain people. Human nature makes me want to rebel, but your Word instructs me to obey those in authority, as long as that obedience is not in direct conflict to your Word. Please give me the strength to obey and do what is right. Please bless me when I do this and walk in a way that is pleasing to you. Thank you in the name of Jesus, amen.
