• Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

Revelation 22:18-19

Father, I thank you for Your Word. I thank you for all the trials and blessings that cause your followers to dive deeper into Your Word and become closer to you.

• And we know that ALL things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose. Romans 8:28
• “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

I praise you for the knowledge and wisdom that you freely give if we ask and seek.

• “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” James 1:5-6 

I lift up all my readers, I pray for them Father that you bless them.

• The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Numbers 6:24-26

Most of all Father, I ask that you have Your Word touch their heart.

• “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.

Remind them Lord, that only you can remove the heart of stone, (Thank you for removing the callous from mine).

•  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Ezekiel 36:26-27
• No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44

Help us to remember to pray fervently for our loved ones… to pray without ceasing and thanking you in ALL things.

• Rejoice always,  pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
• Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16

Guide us Lord, help us do Your Will no matter what the world thinks.

• “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2

Lord surround us with your love even when the world hates us for speaking Your Truth.

• “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.  If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. John 15:18-20

Help us to remember that its more than just BELIEVING, we must walk in Your commandments and Your Will.

• You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! James 2:19

In all these things I ask, in Your Son, JESUS, precious name- Amen.
