1 John 4:4-6

The Message

^4-6 My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world’s language and the world eats it up. But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception.

Gracious Jehovah:

How great and mighty is your name in all the earth. We thank you for your triune love for us. God, The Father, God, The Son, and God, The Holy Spirit. Lord, because of your love and the sacrifice of God, The Son, in the human form as Jesus, we are able to approach your Throne. We humbly ask that you continually remind us that you are greater than anything in this world. May we call out to you, in faith, and know that the presence of God that dwells in us is greater than anything in the world, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Loving Jehovah:

I bless and praise your holy and majestic name. You have taken the broken parts of us and created something beautiful. As we come before you broken, you are the Potter that creates a usable vessel, like the Japanese art of Kintsugi. Thank you for reminding us, Lord, that we don’t have to wait to come to you until we think we are perfect. It is not us that makes us perfect, it is YOU. You make ALL THINGS NEW. May we come to you just the way we are…broken. In the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

Precious Jehovah,

I bless you this morning and give glory and praise to you. Is there anything that you can’t do? Every time I think there is no way through a storm you, Lord, make a way out of no way. Thank you for being a God that specializes in everything. All we have to do is call out to you. Thank you, Lord, for being a Healer, a Lawyer, a Therapist, a Best Friend, and a Confidant. You specialize in it all. Thank you Lord for keeping me. Help me and the family of God to continually trust you and your Word. In the precious and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

2 Timothy 1:7

Amplified Bible

⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

Heavenly Creator and Lord of All:

I thank you for the gift of waking up this morning. I’m grateful for every moment I am given. Most things in my life come to me pretty easily, with a few exceptions.

Due to the fact that most things were easy and required little effort, I naively thought everything else, in my life, was going to be easy. In this season of my life, more effort has been required of me. I have had to put in extra work and it has been hard. I will admit that I have thought about going a different path that was easier. The problem is that You, Lord, called me to this path. You knew it would be uncomfortable and hard for me. I am definitely outside of my comfort zone and I’m a little scared. Thank you for the Word of God in 2 Timothy.

Lord, thank you for this path you have called me to, in this season. I know that you have already gone before me and have prepared a way for me. Teach me how to press past my comfort zone and put in the work that needs to be done, IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT LEVEL. Thank you for loving me in this very moment. Your love has transformed me. Continue to work on us and help us to grow. In Jesus’ name,

Amen. Rev. Marcia Davis

1 Corinthians 2:9-10

Living Bible

⁹ That is what is meant by the Scriptures which say that no mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord. 

¹⁰ But we know about these things because God has sent his Spirit to tell us, and his Spirit searches out and shows us all of God’s deepest secrets.

Holy Father,

We bless your name. Call out to us, so that the hidden things can be revealed. Teach us to be prepared for your words. May we be in a perpetual place of listening to your heart. We fall on our knees, at your feet, hungry for the secret things to be made known. May our worship usher us into the Holy of Holies. May we understand that we will have dig deeply into your Word. As we go deeper, the Spirit of God will allow the secret things to be made known. Once we know, we are then responsible for the Word and the Revelation. May we write down all that has been made known to us through dreams, visions, and revelation, in Jesus name. Amen. And so it is and so it shall be forever more. Hallelujah Great and Mighty God

Special Note: I have watched God deliver and transform the life of a very special young woman. She has been deliver from drugs and alcohol and is now one of the most powerful women of God that I know. God has begun a great work in her life. She is an amazing mother who is raising a mighty man of God. I am so excited to have a front row seat in her transformation. May God continually bless you. Stay close to him and write down everything that he shows you.

Jehovah Lord,

We bless you this morning for every trial we may face. You have proven yourself faithful to bring us through, when we look to you for direction and guidance. Father, you know what we all face. May each HARD place bring You glory and help us to grow, so that your praises are forever and continually on our lips. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
