Ladies and Gentlemen, we must carry an attitude of gratitude as we humble ourselves before the LORD our God – AMEN!
God resists the proud, but He gives Grace to the humble.
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
Don’t speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters. If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you.
.
Dear ones, whenever a child gives “back-talk” to a parent, it is usually met with swift correction. On the other hand, whenever a child gives an unprompted “thanks” to Dad, he will be motivated to speak blessings in return and reward that child with full attention.
The same is true with our Heavenly Father. Whenever we condemn and hurl accusations against one another we rob God of that opportunity to act on our behalf.
In the words of an old hymn – Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing. Were not the Right Man on side, a Man of God’s own choosing. You ask who that might be, Christ Jesus it is HE!
Imagine every conversation that you have today is in the Presence of Jesus!
Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in John 15:1
Jesus is the True Vine and God-Jehovah is the Vinedresser!
Abide in Jesus and He will abide in you, because a branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the Vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me. I AM The Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you! By this My Father is Glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
LORD, I purpose in my heart of hearts to humbly surrender my life to Your Authority and Your never-failing Love and care! Thank You LORD, for hearing our prayers. We know that You always hear the prayers of our hearts.
Amen and Amen!
