Joy Inexpressible

Blessed be you, my heavenly father. You are Almighty God and the father of Jesus, the Christ. According to your great mercy, father, you have caused me to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfailing, kept in heaven for me. I am being guarded by you, father, through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

I rejoice in this faith and your promises, father, even though from time to time here in these times I am grieved by various trials.  These trials test the genuineness of my faith; that my faith more precious than gold tested by fire, be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Though I have not seen him, I love him. I believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory. Thank you, father, for the salvation of my soul.

You Are My God

Heavenly father, I am a stranger and sojourner in this world. My days on earth are like a shadow and there is no abiding. All my abundance comes from your hand, father, and is yours. You test my heart, Lord, and you have pleasure in uprightness. I offer myself to you freely and joyously. Keep forever your purposes and thoughts in my heart. Direct my heart toward you.

I love you, Lord, with my whole heart.  I keep your commandments. I feed on your word and drink in your spirit, oh Lord.  You, Lord Jesus, are food and drink indeed. I’ve bend down and peer into the word of God, the perfect law of liberty.  I see Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah. He is lifted up above all and seated at the right hand of God. You love me,  Lord Jesus and daily make intercession for me. Bless you Lord. You are my God.

The Greatness

I Chronicles 29:10

Blessed are you, oh Lord, forever and ever. Yours, heavenly father, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty for all that is in the heavens and the earth.  Yours is the kingdom, oh Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Riches and honor come from you and you rule over all.  In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and give strength to all. Thank you, my God, and praise your glorious name.

All things come from you. It is your pleasure to give me the kingdom. I belong to you. I have been bought with a price. My body is yours; holy and acceptable to you. I am a vessel for your spirit. You are the treasure in me. You fill me and then pour out of me as rivers of living water to those around me.  Hallelujah and thank you, Lord.

I Was

I Cor 6

I was a sinner. I was unrighteous and not in line to inherit the kingdom of God. But by God’s mercy and grace I was chosen and called to repentance. I was washed; I was sanctified; I was justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of God.

All things are lawful for me but I will not be dominated by anything. My body is meant for the Lord and the Lord for my body. I am joined to the Lord and become one spirit with him. My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit whom I have as a gift from God, and who dwells within me.  I am not my own. I have been bought with a price. I belong to God. By God’s presence and power, I lead the life that the Lord has assigned to me and to which God has called me.

Not In Word But In Power

I Cor 4

I am a servant of Christ and a steward of the mystery of God. I pray that as a steward I will be faithful. He who judges me is the Lord so I judge nothing before the time until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the councils of the heart and then each one’s praise will come from God.

I am not puffed up on behalf of one against another. I realize that whatever ministry I have I have received from God so why would I glory in myself if all that I have I received from God?  I may appear a fool for Christ’s sake but in reality I am wise in Christ. I am begotten of God, through the gospel delivered by the apostles.  By god’s grace I am rich and I reign in the kingdom. The kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

No Other Foundation

Thank you, Lord, that by your presence and power I am no longer carnal. I do not remain in envy, strife, and division. We all minister from our belief in the Lord Jesus.  One plants, another waters, but it is God who gives the increase. I live in and build on the foundation laid by the word of God and the apostles. No other foundation can anyone lay except that which is Jesus, the Christ

I build with gold, silver and precious stones. My work in the Lord becomes manifest. Each day declares the quality of my work because the work is revealed by the trials of each day. The plan of God is that I am the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in me.  The temple of God is holy and I am the temple.

Spiritually Discerned

My faith is not in the wisdom of man.  God’s wisdom is for those who are mature; it is not the wisdom of this age or the rulers of this age. God’s wisdom is in a mystery; it is a hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for my glory. The wisdom of God is, Christ in me my hope of glory.

“Eye has not seen nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him. ”

But God has revealed them to me through his spirit. I have received the spirit who is from God that I might know the things that have been freely given to me by God.  The Holy Spirit teaches me these things comparing spiritual things with spiritual. The things of the spirit must be spiritually discerned. He who is spiritual judges all things. By the spirit of God, I have the mind of Christ.

 

Enriched In Everything

I Cor 1

Thank you, heavenly father, for your grace and peace to me from you and my Lord Jesus, the Christ.  I call on the name of Jesus. I believe he is the Christ, and he is my Lord. He gives me your grace, father. I am enriched in everything by him; in all utterance and all knowledge as his spirit is with me always, testifying to me of the truth of Christ so that I come up short in no gift, and I eagerly await the revelation of my Lord Jesus Christ.

He confirms me to the end that I may be blameless in the day of my Lord Jesus.  Father, you are perfectly faithful and you have called me into fellowship with Jesus, your son, my older brother and the Lord.  Christ is not divided. I am one with all the other saints; saved by the life of Jesus, my Lord

Wiser Than Man

I thank you, Lord God, that by your choice and provision I am in Christ and that Christ has become for me wisdom from you, my heavenly father, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.  I glory in you, father God, and in your son.

The world thinks it is so wise, and in its wisdom it denies God, but has God not made foolish the wisdom of this world. The message of the cross is a foolishness to those who are perishing, but to me the cross of Jesus is the power of God.  It has pleased you, heavenly father, to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached. I preach and believe and keep my eyes on Christ crucified.  To me Christ crucified and raised from the dead is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

I Call On The Name Of The Lord

God, my God, praise you. You are in the heavens and you do all that you please.

I love you, father, because you have heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. You have inclined your ear to me.  I suffered distress and anguish; I called on the Lord; I prayed, father, deliver my soul. Lord, you were gracious and merciful and righteous.

I am just a man with simple understanding and you have saved me. You have returned my soul to your rest. You have dealt bountifully with me. You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.  I walk before you Lord, in the land of the living. Precious in your sight, oh Lord, is the death of your Saints. Oh Lord, I am your servant.  You have loosed my bonds and I offer to you thanksgiving.
