2 Corinthians 7

Good morning, father. Today by your communion I am filled with comfort and exceeding joy. Outside in this world there are conflicts, and in my heart there are concerns. Nevertheless, you, father, comfort me.

I see your faithfulness to me, Lord, and your love for me, as I reflect on my past. There were times back then when I was very wrong.

I was in sin. I was self-centered, but by your word, through your Holy Spirit and divine providence, you brought me to sorrow, and that sorrow led me to sincere repentance, and I gained real forgiveness, and I was reconciled to you.

This experience with you worked wisdom and faith in me. It produced a diligent determination to follow you more closely. These experiences of godly sorrow made me want to obey you more perfectly.

Now, I obey because I like it. I have a zeal for communion with you, father. I find joy and peace in belonging to you and being free of the world.

2 Corinthians 5; Ephesians 2; 2 Corinthians 6&7

Thank you, father, that you made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for me, so that by that substitutionary provision I was made perfectly righteous before you in Christ. Here I stand. Righteous by your grace.

I am reconciled to you, my heavenly father, through Christ, and I have a ministry to share your reconciliation with others. By your grace, father, through faith, I am saved.

Praise you, father, you dwell in me. You walk among us. You are my God, and I am yours. Therefore, I separate myself from worldliness. I try to stay clean in my thoughts. I stay steadfast in communion with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are a father to me.

So, with gladness and faith, I enjoy your promises. I dwell in your word. I cleanse myself of filthiness of the flesh, and I yield to you, father, confident that you will perfect your holiness in me.

2 Corinthians 5

Thank you, father, that in your divine powered, eternal Kingdom this fleshly body of mine is just a temporary dwelling place; a tent, so to speak. At a time you have ordained I leave this tent and receive an eternal house in the heavens made for me by you, father.

For a time now, while I am in this fleshly tent, I groan at the trials and tests and limits of my flesh. I look to a time when I will be better clothed in a glorified body. I look to a time when mortality is swallowed up by your eternal life, father.

You prepare my mind for this very thing, father, by the gift of your Holy Spirit who guarantees your presence and promises to me. So, I am always confident, knowing that while I am at home in this mortal body I’m absent from you, father.

For I walk by faith and not by sight. So, I am okay now, but also well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with you, father, when and as you ordain that time to be.

2 Corinthians 4&5

Thank you, father, that I am encouraged and at peace even though my outward man is aging and passing away. For I see that my inward man is renewed day by day by your eternal and perfect Holy Spirit.

The tests and trials of this life in the flesh are brief compared to eternity, and they cannot defeat the divine Spirit you have placed in me. Instead, as I deal with these trials in the wisdom and presence of your Spirit, they work an exceeding and eternal weight of glory in me.

I have learned to not be very concerned with the things which are seen, but to pay all my attention on the things which are unseen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For I know that if my earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, I have a building from you, father, a house not made of flesh and not made by man. It is a house eternal with you in the heavens.

2 Corinthians 4

Thank you, father, for your provision to me of yourself. I am like a clay jar filled with a treasure who is your very presence. He is your Holy Spirit who dwells in me and with me forever.

There is light and divine glory in me now. You lead me, and you illumine the things of life for me in such a way that I know the power is of you and not of me.

So, in this world I am hard-pressed, but because of your Spirit in me, I can’t be crushed. Sometimes I am perplexed, but I am not in despair.

I am always reckoning myself dead to my flesh and alive in Christ, and the life of Jesus is manifested in my mortal flesh. Death is working in my human flesh, but divine eternal life is working in my spirit man.

I know that you, Holy Spirit, who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise me up at your appointed time, and you will present me to God, my father. Then thanksgiving will abound, and God, our father, will be glorified. With this promise I am renewed every day.

Ephesians 1; 2 Corinthians 3&4

Thank you, father, that you have opened the eyes of my understanding, and I know the hope of your calling on my life, and I realize the riches of the glory of the inheritance that I have in Christ.

Through Christ you have removed the veil from my eyes, and I have turned to the Lord Jesus. The Lord is a spirit, and that Spirit dwells in me now forever, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.

Through your presence in me, Lord Jesus, I, with unveiled face, behold as in a mirror your glory, and that illumination transforms me into your image from glory to glory- day by day- step by step.

The light of the Gospel of the glory of Jesus Christ shines on me and in me. You, father, have commanded that light to shine out of darkness and to shine in my heart to fill me with the light of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am lit up!!

2 Corinthians 1; Phillipians 4

Thank you, father, that today I have grace and peace from you and from my Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be you, God, my father, and Jesus Christ, my brother. You are the father of mercies and the God of all comfort.

You comfort me through this world of tribulation, and by your grace, I’m able to comfort others who are in any trouble with the divine comfort that I myself am comforted with.

Often there are troubles, and disappointments, and stupid tragedies in this sinful world. They try to burden me with despair, so I put my trust in you, father, the God of Hope; you who raise the dead.

I live every day in simplicity and Godly sincerity, not in fleshy wisdom, and you, father, the Almighty, keep my heart and mind through Christ Jesus in a divine peace which surpasses all human understanding. In that sweet peace I rejoice, and again I say I rejoice.

John 14

Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Messiah, the one God sent. I believe in you, and through you I believe in God, our father. My heart is not troubled because I know you have room for me in your kingdom.

Even now you are with me. You prepare a place for me, and someday, you will come for me, and you will receive me.

I know that you, Lord, are the way, and the life, and that I have adoption by God, our heavenly father, through faith in you, Lord Jesus.

I love you and believe your word. I keep your word in front of my eyes, and I enjoy obeying your commandments. You have asked the father to send the Holy Spirit to me, and I have asked as well. The father has given me the Holy Spirit, and he is with me forever.

Through your Spirit, you, Jesus, and God, the father, live in me now. You, Lord Jesus, are in the father. I am in you, and you are in me. In that way we have a living, perfect communion. By your very presence I am taught, and encouraged, and empowered, and set free.

1 Corinthians 2&1

Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you reveal to me the wonderful things that my heavenly father has prepared for me. You dwell in me, Holy Spirit. You search my heart, and you know everything about me. You know the things of God for you are God, the Spirit

I no longer receive the spirit of this world, instead I have you, Holy Spirit, filling me and leading me. You, God the Spirit, testify to me that I can know the things that have been freely given to me by God.

In you, Holy Spirit, I can know the heart of God, my father, and I can commune with you, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost everyday all day.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your faithful presence in me. By your presence I become wise; not the wisdom of this world, but instead, the wisdom of God in a mystery; the hidden wisdom which God, my father, ordained beforehand for his glory and for my righteousness, redemption, and sanctification.

1 Corinthians 15

Thank you, father, that your word declares to me your gospel. Your gospel has also been preached to me. By your grace, father, I have received your good news.

I stand on your word as truth and life. I am saved by your word as incorruptible seed. I hold fast to your word, father, and set my faith on all that you promise.

Your word tells me that Jesus, your Christ and my Savior, died as the scriptures say, and that he was buried, and that he rose again on the third day as the scriptures say. He was seen by the apostles and then by over 500 people, most of whom were still alive when your scripture was written and distributed abroad.

James and other apostles saw the risen Christ, and finally Paul saw and heard Jesus risen from the dead. These men testified to the resurrection and were willing to stake their lives on it as fact and on Jesus as the Messiah.

In faith I do the same. I believe Jesus is Messiah. He is my Lord, and I know that you, father, raised him from the dead.
