PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. On this Blessed Day we celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, remembering he has already come as we have when we celebrate our own days of birth. This one day is very special yet we, as Christians should celebrate this day every day of our lives. Revelation 1:1 (Posted earlier this week) - The principal person that is made known to us is the Lord Jesus Christ, without Whom every other event within its pages (The Bible) is of no significance. It is clear on the past and future of our Lord Jesus and reason to celebrate today and every day. Peace-knowing that the Lord of the universe is by our side and resting in that. It's not just knowing, but it is also living it out. Peace is sitting in comfort and knowing that God is next to your side no matter what. Hope-Trusting God even when circumstances are difficult. One way to know whether you're trusting God is whether you're obeying his Word. Trust produces obedience, which produces hope, which results in joy and Peace; and that is the power of the Holy Spirit. Love- Love is patient and kind. Love is a choice that you can make every single day. Choose love and happiness and shine God's light to others. Serving others is a great way to love like Jesus and can often open doors to share our faith that otherwise would be closed. Jesus did not shy away from serving others and commanded His followers to do the same. God gave His only Son so that we would not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16 Our United Christmas Prayer:
Heavenly Father, no matter how many times we read the wonder of Your incarnation as the Word made flesh, it fills us with wonder and praise. Lord, we worship You in the beauty of holiness. Lord, we thank you for your only son born of Mary and we look forward to his return. Lord, we are thankful for all you provide and we Pray for: those that are lost, those in need, for the world we live in, that there may be Peace and all prayers the requested in you name, In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. John 17 is the holy of holies in Scripture, it contains the greatest prayer ever prayed on earth, by the greatest man who ever lived. Within this sacred text we discover, from the prayerful lips of the Lord Jesus Himself, exactly what eternal life is. Eternal life is not heaven, our ultimate destination, or the life hereafter as so many people think. It is not some fuzzy feeling or something to look forward to in the dim and distant future. It is not something for which to strive throughout our earthly life. Without God there is no life, and His life is that eternal life of Christ that is breathed into the one that is dead in trespasses and sins, the moment we trust Him as Savior. Without Christ there is no access to God and eternal life, in Him is the light of life to all who believe. God has given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as God has given Him. And this is eternal life; To Know God And To Know Jesus Christ Whom He Sent. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the new life in Christ that was given to us when we trusted Him as Savior. Thank You for the eternal life that is already ours through Christ. May we know You more and more, and may we grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Jesus brought peace to the world through the blood of the eternal covenant, our GREAT Shepherd of his sheep came to save all His people from their sins. Jesus laid down His life for His sheep so that all who believe on His name might be saved and have life and have it more abundantly. One day He will return as the CHIEF Shepherd and when He appears, all His sheep will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. A thief in the earthly realm comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and while the Lord walked on the earth, there were many leaders that sought to steal His position, kill the Son and heir of God, scatter the flock, and steal all that is His, but God's plans and purposes will never be thwarted by jealous men. Throughout the Church age, many enemies, both physical and spiritual, have sought to steal, kill, and destroy the sheep in Christ's little flock, but we are not to fear, none can pluck us out of His hands. We are all safe in the hands of our Heavenly Father, and the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church. We who are all in Christ have already received the abundance of His life, and one day Christ Jesus will return, as He promised, to take us to be with Him. We are not appointed to wrath, but to obtain Salvation By Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior and Good Shepherd Who will take us to the heavenly home He has prepared for all who love Him so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Our United Prayer:
Thank You, Father, for Jesus the Good Shepherd Who laid down His life for us so that we might live with You forever. Thank You, in Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Every common task to which we place our shoulder and each Christian duty to which we are called, can only be successfully discharged as we rely on the Lord Jesus Christ for guidance and strength. We are to live, and work, and be strong in the LORD and in the power of His might, not in the strength and power of our own, fleshly, human abilities. We are to be strengthened in the 'inner' strength through the power of the Spirit of God. This is not a one-time strengthening, but a moment by moment reliance upon Him, until we are increasingly able to act upon His guidance, as we learn to listen to His voice saying: "This Is The Way, Walk In It." It is not by my strength or by my own power or wisdom that we can do all things, but through Christ, Who gives us His strength. Like the apostle Paul, without HIM we can do nothing but we can do all things through Christ: "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord." I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Our United Prayer:
Teach us, our Father, to look to Jesus each moment of the day for our strength and not to rely on our own imperfect, human abilities and intelligence, for without You we can do nothing. But thanks be to God that as we rest in Christ Jesus, He will empower us, through the Holy Spirit, to carry out Your will for our lives. Father, we confess that without You we can do nothing, but thanks be to God that we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us through the power of the Holy Spirit. To You be praise and glory forever, AMEN. The first verse of Revelation (translated 'apokalupsis' from the Greek, and often called the Apocalypse) makes a very important statement that is too often misconstrued, misapplied, and even mistranslated... often giving it a meaning that is opposite to the truth, resulting in all sorts of confusion. Revelation is not an Apocrypha as many teach (something that is hidden) but an Apocalypse; a revealing, an unveiling, a disclosing, a making known. The opening verse of the Apocalypse explains what is being revealed: "The Revelation Of Jesus Christ." It is the revealing of the Lord Jesus Christ "which God gave Him, to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. Jesus is both the Giver of the revelation and also the Subject of the revelation. In the Gospels, He was revealed to us in His humility. In Revelation, He is displayed in majesty and great glory. In the Gospels, He came to earth as the suffering Servant Who was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and by Whose stripes we are healed. In Revelation, He returns to earth as the triumphant Hero. While there are many other things that are made known in this book, like the Antichrist, the four horsemen, the two witnesses, the ministry of angels, mystery Babylon, the mark of the beast, and the Great White Throne judgement seat... the primary thing that is being revealed throughout its pages is Jesus Christ. The principal person that is made known to us is the Lord Jesus Christ, without Whom every other event within its pages is of no significance. While the book contains many prophecies that are to take place in the future , the fundamental truth to which we should hold is that the Lord Jesus is the central object of all prophecy. Jesus is the one about whom prophecy is written and He is the one that ultimately fulfils all prophecy. John reminds us in Revelation 19: "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and that You have told us what will happen before it happens so that we will believe. Have us all read, mark, and learn from all You have told us in the book of Revelation and we be guided by the Holy Spirit into all truth. Above all, as we read this book, we pray that Jesus would be revealed to us, more and more, and we will know Him more clearly, love Him more dearly, and follow Him more nearly, all the days of our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
