Nothing of God is Common

Acts 10

Lord, fill me and take charge of me today that I would arise in your spirit and get going; doubting nothing of you and your word. You have shown me not to call any man common or unclean.  Let me hear today, father, all the things you want me to hear. I hear and perceive, father, that you are no respecter of persons, but everyone who fears you and works (your) righteousness is accepted to you.

You sent that word to me, Lord; preaching Jesus Christ as Lord of all. You anointed Jesus of Nazareth with your Holy Spirit and with power, and he went about doing good and healing, for you, heavenly father, were with him. You provided witnesses of Jesus’ glory, and commanded them to preach to the people, and inspired them to write your words and the things they had seen and touched and tasted. From your words, through these apostles, I have come to believe in and into Jesus and receive him as my righteousness.

I Will Seek And Not Be Afraid

Hebrews 1

Today, father, you speak to me through my Lord Jesus. You have appointed him heir of all things, through him you created the world.   He is the radiance of your glory, father, and the exact imprint of your nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

After Jesus, your Christ, made purification for sins, he has sat down at your right hand in the presence of your majesty. You have begotten him and called him son.  You say, “let all my angels worship him. Your throne, oh God, is forever and ever”.

You, Jesus’ God and father, have anointed him with the oil of gladness. You tell him, “come my son, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”.  Such is my great Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. In him is my salvation. I see him and I am not afraid.

Attested To Me By God

Acts 2

Lord Jesus, you are the Messiah, attested to me by God the father by mighty works and wonders and signs that he did through you. You were delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of our father. You were crucified and killed by the hands of lawless man(of whom I was once one). God, our father, raised you up, loosed you from the pangs of death, because it was not possible for death to hold you.

In this way you, Lord Jesus, have made known to me the way of life and you make me full of gladness with your presence. Lord Jesus, God the father has made you both Lord and Christ.  I am quick to repent in the name of Jesus and gladly receive forgiveness. I have received the gift of the Holy Spirit.  I thank you, Jesus of Nazareth, that I am saved by your perfect life and your atoning sacrifice. You are my Lord and Savior.

Have Made Me Your Son

John 17 & I John 3

I am in this world but I thank you, father, that by your grace, I am not of this world. Thank you, father, that you keep me from evil and that you sanctify me with your truth; your word is truth.  By your grace and presence in me, father, you have made us one as you are in Jesus and as Jesus is in you; you, father, are in me and I am in you; I am one with you, my heavenly father. Behold, what manner of love you have bestowed on me that you, father, have made me your son.

Lord Jesus, your glory dwells in me; the glory of the only begotten son of Almighty God. You are in me, Lord Jesus and I am a perfected by your everlasting presence.   I behold your glory now in special unseen ways, but I know that soon you will appear and I shall see you as you are and I will be like you. I know that you, Lord Jesus, are the Messiah sent to save my soul, and that my heavenly father, loves me with a perfect, steadfast love.

 

The Comforter

John 15&16

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that I am clean through the words you have spoken to me. I abide in you and you abide in me, and the fruit of the spirit comes forth through me. I abide in you, Lord, and you abide in me so I can ask for things that suit your will and those things are done for me.  Herein is the father glorified that much fruit is borne in me; fruit that will last.

I keep my eyes on your commandments and let them take charge of my thoughts, and I abide in the love of God, my heavenly father.  The joy of the Lord remains in me and my joy is full.

Lord Jesus, you call me friend and you have chosen me and ordained me that I should go and bring forth fruit and that that fruit should remain.  God, my father, has given me the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth, and God the spirit fills me and guides me into all truth.  The Holy Spirit glorifies the Lord Jesus in me, and receives from Jesus, and shows those things to me.

The Newness of Life

Eph 1, Romans 5

From before the foundation of the world, father, you chose me to be in Christ and saved me from your wrath. You chose me to be your child and a joint heir with Jesus.  Through Jesus’ life and atoning death and resurrection you saved me from sin’s condemnation and its bondage. You reconciled me to you.  Your grace, father, and the free gift, by the grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ, has abounded to me and to many others. It is a free gift that brings justification.

All who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus, my Lord and Savior. By his obedience many are made righteous. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that as sin reigned in death, grace also reigned through righteousness and led to eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Lord. I am raised from the dead by your glory, father, to walk in the newness of life.

Saved From The Wrath Of God

Romans 4&5

I believe you, father. I grow strong in faith as I give glory to you. I become fully convinced that you are able to do all that you have promised to do.  I believe that you raised Jesus, my Lord, from the dead. I believe Jesus was delivered up for my trespasses and raised for my justification.  Therefore, since I have been justified through faith, I have peace with you, father, through my Lord Jesus, the Christ.

Through him I have obtained access by faith into the grace in which I stand and I rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  I rejoice even in suffering knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put me to shame because your divine love has been poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to me. While I was still a sinner Christ died for me. I am justified by his blood and saved by him from the wrath of God. 

That In Everything God May Be Glorified

I Peter 3,2,1&4

Today in my heart I sanctify you, Lord Jesus, as holy. I am thankful and encouraged by the hope that is in me, that is: the presence of my heavenly father, the God of hope, and Jesus, the son of God, who bore my sins in his body that I could be dead to sin and live in righteousness.

By your wounds, Lord, I have been healed. I once strayed like a sheep, but now, by your grace, Lord Jesus, I have returned to you, the shepherd and overseer of my soul.   I have been born again by the imperishable seed; through the living and abiding word of God. Your word, oh Lord, remains forever. I hope fully in the grace that is brought to me through the revelation of you, Lord Jesus, as the Lord and as the Messiah.

Today I show hospitality without grumbling. I serve others as a good steward. I speak the very word of God; I serve in the strength you provide, Lord, in order that in everything You may be glorified in Christ Jesus.

Inexpressible Gift

Romans 12, 2 Cor. 11&10

Father, today I present myself to you as a living sacrifice. Fill me, Holy Spirit, that I will be useful to God, my Father, as an instrument in his hand. The challenges and choices of today are beyond my strength and wisdom, but they are easily dealt with by you.  Today, by your grace, I have a sincere and pure devotion to you, Lord Jesus. I keep my eyes on you and trust in your moment by moment grace. You make all grace abound to me so that I have all sufficiency in all things, at all times. I abound in every good work.

You supply and multiply your seed through me for sowing and increase in the harvest of your righteousness. I am enriched in every way, to be generous in every way, that not only supplies needs but overflows in thanksgiving to you, father.  The surpassing grace of God is upon me. Thanks be to you, father, for your inexpressible gift.

Holy and Beloved

Today, father, by your grace as your chosen child, holy and beloved, I put on a compassionate heart, kindness, humility, meekness and patience. Today I bear with others with the grace and mercy of your Holy Spirit.  If I have a complaint against anyone I forgive them as you, father, have forgiven me. And above all else I put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony.  You, the God of peace, rule in my heart and I am called into the body of Christ. I am thankful.

I  let the word of Christ, my Lord, dwell in me richly, teaching and admonishing me in all wisdom. I let psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness to you, father, fill my heart.  Whatever I do in word or deed I do everything in the name of my Lord, Jesus the Messiah, giving thanks to you, father, through him.
