I thank you, Lord, that by your grace and presence my faith is growing abundantly and my love for others is increasing. Fill me, Lord, that I will be steadfast in all circumstances and endure all tests.  For I believe that I will see a day when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not obey the gospel of Jesus, the Christ. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and away from the glory of his might.

I pray today, Lord, that you make me worthy of your calling and that today I fulfill every resolve of good and every work of faith by your power that dwells in me. Hallelujah!

When the lawless one is revealed the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and bring the lawless plans to nothing by the appearance of  His coming. All are condemned who do not believe the truth, but instead take pleasure in unrighteousness.

Today I receive grace, mercy and peace from God, my father, and Christ Jesus, my Lord. I pray that I will be a good steward of the truth and presence of God.  The aim of my walk in Christ today is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. I do not swerve from these and I avoid vain discussions. I do not engage in anything that is contrary to sound doctrine in accordance with the gospel of the glory of God.

I received mercy from God and the grace of my Lord Jesus overflows for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. It is true to say that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy to show God’s perfect patience to those who believe in him for eternal life. To the king of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.

I receive this charge in accordance with your calling, Father, that by your grace and presence I will wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience.

My Lord Jesus, the Christ, has obtained a ministry that is much more excellent than the old (priesthood ministry) as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.  In the new covenant the father says, “I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be my people; they shall know me from the least of them to the greatest for I will be merciful towards their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. ” In speaking so of the new covenant, my heavenly father makes the first one obsolete, ready to vanish away.

When Christ appeared as the high priest of the good things that have come…, he entered once for all into the holy places, by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.  How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify my conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to Him who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his reverence.  Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey (harken, submit, listen) him, being designated by God a high priest.

Lord, I pray I will mature in your word; that I will “hear” you every day, all day; that my powers of discernment are trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil and to always choose and follow good.  I have tasted the goodness and the power of your word and “felt” your presence alive in me. I am sure of the hope I have in Christ and, therefore, I am not sluggish, but an imitator of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  I hold fast to the hope set before me. Fill me with your faith and endurance today, Lord.

Today, I look to Jesus, the founder and perfector of my faith. I keep my thoughts on him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself so that I do not grow weary or faint hearted. I thank you, Lord, that you discipline the ones you love. You have disciplined me for my good that I may share your Holiness. Therefore, I lift up drooping hands and strengthen weakened knees and head in straight paths.

I see to it that I and anyone who asks do obtain the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up to defile and cause trouble.  I hold onto and value highly the birthright God, my father, has decreed and Jesus, my Lord, has provided. I am, by God’s grace, one of the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven.  I am grateful to receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and I give my God worship with reverence and awe.

Lord, I do not account my life as precious to me;  if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I have received from you, Lord Jesus; that is to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.   That I would believe and live out, and then declare things that are profitable, the whole counsel of God, that is repentance towards God, the father, and faith in the Lord Jesus, the Christ.

I commend myself and those whom you have given me, Lord, to God the Father and to the word of your grace, which is able to build each of us up and to give us the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

I believe that the God of my fathers has appointed me to know his will, to “see” the righteous one and to “hear” his words. I am to be a witness for him to whomever he sends me to and to whomever is sent to me. By your grace, Lord, I will live and preach your grace.

I believe that you, Jesus, the Christ, died for my sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that you were buried, that you were raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that you appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then you appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom were still alive when these words were written.

” If Christ had not been raised, then our preaching And our faith would be in vain. But, in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For Christ is the first fruit, then at His coming those who belong to Christ.  Then comes the end when he delivers the kingdom to God, the father, after destroying every rule and every authority and power.”

I know that what is sown does not come to life unless it dies. So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable.  It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

Today, father, I give you worship with reverence and awe. I am grateful to be in your kingdom, a kingdom that cannot be shaken. You, father, are a consuming fire.

My Lord Jesus has told me he will never leave me nor forsake me. “The Lord is my helper, I do not fear, what can man do to me?”  Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever. I will not be led away by diverse and strange teachings. Through Jesus, my Lord, I continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of my lips that acknowledge his name.

I obey my leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over my soul. Let them be wise, obedient leaders who lead with joy and not with groaning.

Father, you are the God of peace; you brought the Lord Jesus again from the dead.  Equip me today with everything good that I may do your will; work in me that which is pleasing in your sight through Jesus the Christ.

The end of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. When I turn at the spirit’s reproof, God pours his spirit to me and He makes his word known to me. I receive my father’s words and I treasure His Commandments. I made my ear attentive to wisdom and I incline my heart to understanding. I call out for insight and pray for understanding. I seek these things like silver and search for them like hidden treasure.  As I do, I understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He stores up wisdom for the upright and he is a shield for those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of justice and watches over his saints.  They will understand righteousness and justice and equity and every good path. For wisdom will come into their heart.

Jesus became a priest not on the basis of legal requirements, but by the power of an indestructible life. For the father said to him, “you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” He was made a priest with an oath from God, the father, who said, “the Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, you are a priest forever. ”

This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. He holds the priesthood permanently; consequently he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. He has no need to offer sacrifices daily since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. The word of the oath, that came later than the law, appoints a son who has been made perfect forever. I have a high priest who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven and makes intercession daily for me.
