Spirit and Life

John 6

Lord Jesus, I believe on you, and I have everlasting life. You are the bread of life. Unlike manna in Moses’ time, you are the living manna, which is come down from heaven. I eat of your manna, and I do not die.

You are the living bread which came down from heaven. The bread you give is your flesh, your life, your perfect life. You give your life for the life of the world.

Except a person eat of your flesh and drink of your blood there is no divine life in them. If I do not believe you are the Messiah and receive you as my Lord, I am not born again, and I cannot be your brother and God’s child.

But, Lord Jesus, if I receive your life and your atoning death as my life and my death, then I have eternal life, and you raise me up at the last day.

For the Son’s life and atoning death set me free from my sin and impute your righteousness to my account and fill me with your Holy Spirit of new life. You dwell in me, and I dwell in you.

Now all these words refer to spiritual provisions, not actual works of the flesh, for it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profits nothing. Your words, Lord Jesus, they are spirit, and they are life.

Everyone

John 5&6

Lord Jesus, you brought me to my senses, and I repented and confessed my sins and returned to God, our father. You made me whole, and I rose up, and I began to walk in your spirit.

You worked the work of God, our father, in me. Now I believe, and I know you are the Messiah. You have quickened me from the dead. I honor you, Lord Jesus, and through you, I honor our father.

I hear your word, and I believe you, and I have everlasting life, and I am free of condemnation. Hallelujah, by your grace and power, I have passed from death unto life.

Truly the time is coming and has already started when the dead shall hear your voice, Lord Jesus, God and Savior. All will hear and live.

Those in the grave will hear your voice, and they will come forth. Those who are yours, come forth unto the resurrection of life, and those who have refused you as Lord and Savior come forth to a resurrection of damnation.

You seek not your will, Lord Jesus, but the will of the Father. The will of the Father is that everyone who sees you as the Son of God and believes on you as Lord and Savior will have everlasting life, and you will raise them up in the last day.

I Have Come

John 4

Hallelujah! Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith to believe. I know you give the gift of salvation by your grace through faith in Jesus. Lord Jesus, you give me your words of life, and I receive them as living water.

The water you give me is eternal, divine, life-changing. It opens my eyes and fills me with spirit and life. Then it fills me and pours out of me like a spring of everlasting life to those around me. You quench my thirst, Lord Jesus, and I never thirst again.

The time has now come when I worship God, our father, in spirit and in truth. God is a spirit. He seeks those who will receive the truth that you, Lord Jesus, are the Son of God and the Christ sent to save those who receive and believe. I receive you, Lord Jesus.

Father, I receive the gift of your Holy Spirit, who dwells in me now and leads me in wisdom and righteousness.

I receive your word, Lord Jesus, which fills me with truth. I know you now, Lord Jesus. I know the way, the truth, and the life of God. I have come to our father through you. You are my Lord and my Savior.

Upon me

Psalm 33

Your word, Father, is right, and all your work is done in truth. You are righteousness and justice, and the earth is full of your goodness. You, oh Lord, are righteous, and I praise you. I sing to you a new song. I play with the skill you give me, and I shout with joy.

By your word, the heavens were made. All of creation was breathed out of your mouth.

Your eye is upon me, Lord, for you created me to fear you, and to be yours. In your choice, I have mercy and hope. You have delivered me from death into eternal life. I live in you.

My soul waits on you, Lord, and you are my help and my shield. My heart rejoices in you and in your gift of salvation. I trust in your holy name, and your mercy is upon me. 

Come Upon Me

Psalm 28; Galatians 5&3; John 3; Romans 8; Psalm 28

You are blessed, oh Lord. You hear the voice of my supplications. You are my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in you, and I am helped.

You fill me with your Holy Spirit, and I am led in peace and joy. I no longer fulfill the lust of my flesh. I am free of the law of sin and death. I live in your spirit, Father, and your spirit dwells in me.

I walk now in your spirit. This life I live today in my flesh, I live by faith in Jesus, your son and my savior. He loves me and gave himself for my salvation.

Lord Jesus, you have redeemed me from the curse of the law by taking the punishment for me. Now through your propitiation, and by your grace, all the blessings of Abraham come upon me.

I am born from above by your spirit. I have eternal life and a full inheritance with you, Father. Nothing can separate me from your perfect, sovereign love. Therefore, my heart rejoices greatly, and with my song, I praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Satisfy and Renew

Psalm 103

I bless you, Lord, with my whole body and soul and strength. I revel in and recall all your benefits. You have forgiven all my iniquities. You have healed all my diseases. You have redeemed my life from destruction. You crown me with loving kindness and tender mercies. You satisfy my mouth with good things, and you renew my youth like the eagles.

You, oh Lord, are merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy. But, you will not always strive with men. Nor will you hold back your anger forever.

You will, however, be merciful to those who fear you. For those of us who receive you and believe in Christ Jesus, you remove our transgressions.

Like a perfect father, you pity those who are your children for you know our frame; you remember we are dust; our days are short. Our time in this flesh is temporary, but our life with you is everlasting and covered with divine righteousness. 

Perfected

Luke 11; Romans 8; Galatians 5

Holy Spirit, cleanse my inward parts. I hear your word, and I obey it. I do not need a sign because I have your witness to me through your presence in me.

Today, I am led by you, Holy Spirit, and I am free of the law of sin and death. I have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. I live in you, Holy Spirit, and I walk in you, day by day, moment by moment.

I commune with you, Holy Spirit, and the Father knows me and hears me. I ask, and it is given to me. I seek, and I find. I knock, and the door is opened to me.

Father, you love me with a perfect love, and you give me your Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, you fill me with eternal life. By you, I am born from above. You dwell in me. You teach me and comfort me. You show me Christ Jesus and make his word alive in me. By your presence, I am saved. I am kept. I am converted. I am perfected by the Father‘s perfection!

I Move Out

Luke 9; Matthew 3; Romans 12; Luke 9

Lord Jesus, you are the Christ of God. I receive you as my Lord and my Savior. I come after you. I deny myself, and I take up my cross daily, and I am led by your Holy Spirit and every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, our father.

I give my life as a living sacrifice, humbled by your mercies to me, Father, and you transform me by renewing my mind and perfecting my heart, day by day and thought by thought.

I have put my hands on your gospel plow, and I look forward to you, Lord Jesus. By your grace and indwelling spirit, I move out. I preach and live your salvation and the kingdom of God, our father.

Greatly

1 Peter 1; Romans 12

Good morning, Father! Today I gird up the loins of my mind. I am sober, and I rest my hope fully upon the grace that is mine by the revelation of and the communion with you, Lord Jesus.

I rejoice greatly, even though sometimes I am grieved by various trials, but I know these test the genuineness of my faith. I pray my faith, be strong and precious, and be found to praise and honor and glorify you, Lord Jesus.

Thank you, Father, that, in your abundant mercy, you called me and chose me. Then you begot me again to a living hope through the resurrection of my Lord Jesus from the dead.

You included me into an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled, that does not fade away, and that is kept for me in heaven. Hallelujah!

I rejoice in hope. I am patient in tribulation, and I am ceaseless in prayer. 

Hold Me Fast

Hebrews 6; Luke 6

Lord Jesus, my faith in your propitiation is a sure and steadfast anchor for my soul. Your life and sacrifice and resurrection, hold me fast in the very presence of God, our father. You have entered the holiest place behind the veil, and you have taken me with you. You are my perfect high priest forever.

God, our father, is just and merciful. He sets forth and moves in my work and labor of love. In your name, Father, and led by your sweet Holy Spirit, I have ministered, and I do minister to your saints. I am not sluggish, instead I am diligent to commune with you in spirit and in truth and to live in the assurance of hope until you call me home. So, by your grace, Father, I go on to perfection in Christ Jesus.

Lord Jesus, you are the Lord of my life. I do the things you say. I come to you, and I stay in your word and in communion with your spirit. I dig down deep, and I lay a foundation on you, Lord, as my rock. Floods and trials come and beat against my faith, but it cannot be shaken, because it is founded on you, Lord Jesus. You are the rock of my foundation.
