Malachi 4

1For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

 2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

 4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

 5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.




Amen. Lord, let us be found worthy and cleansed of all unrighteousness.
Let us be set apart for your glory and honor.
All praise be unto you Lord Jesus Christ and we thank you for your mercy upon us heavenly Father.
Let us not be found in that terrible day of judgment to come upon those who reject you, even so Lord, come, amen and amen.

Until tomorrow then, have a blessed and peaceful Monday.

Ephesians 3
10 through 21

10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

 11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

 12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

 13Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

 14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

 15Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

 20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.




Amen. Let us be partakers, together, of the grace and love of Jesus Christ. Let us show others that grace and love every day, that they, too, might accept the Lord as their personal Savior and be forgiven of their sins and that they might join us in the eternal kingdom to come, amen.

May you have a blessed and peaceful Sunday and I'll meet you back here tomorrow.

Psalm 119
17 through 24
GIMEL

17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

 18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

 19I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

 20My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

 21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

 22Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

 23Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

 24Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.


 
Amen. Heavenly Father, use us every day in every way, that we may show others your love and mercy.
Let us be a light in this dark world to show the promise of the sacrifice that you made on the cross for us.
When we open our mouths, let your sweet Holy Spirit use our tongues to draw all unto you, amen.

May you have a blessed and peaceful Saturday and I'll meet you back here tomorrow.

1 Timothy 4
1 through 10

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

 6If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

 7But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

 8For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

 9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

 10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.




Amen. In these later days, just prior to Jesus Christ's return and due to the many false anti-christ's, false prophets and teachers of false beliefs that have come already, the stage has been set and smoothly carpeted for the acceptance of the anti-christ as the ruler and god of this world.
Do NOT be taken in by ANY one that says they are the Christ and do NOT take ANY mark in your right hand or forehead. *Read Revelation 13.
When Christ returns, He will come in the sky with the saints in tow to do battle with the devil and those on earth who, even though they know He is Lord, rejected Him.

Until tomorrow, I wish you a blessed and peaceful Friday and a great weekend.

Proverbs 18
1 through 7

1Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

 2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

 3When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

 4The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

 5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

 6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

 7A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.



Amen. Lord, let us not be as a fool who, against all sound judgment, has no desire to learn and is full of contempt, dishonor and reproach, the three companions of wickedness.
Let us guard our tongues (the things we say) at all times, speaking the truth and spreading your Word to all who have an ear to listen, amen.

Until tomorrow then, have a blessed and peaceful Thursday.

Ephesians 5
1 through 6

1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

 2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

 3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

 4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

 5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

 6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.




Amen. Lord, give us strength and wisdom in these last days that we may stay entrenched in your Word and true to it.
Jesus, let us be found righteous in your eyes at your glorious second coming.
Father, bless us that we may bless others and spare us the wrath to come, even so Lord, come, amen.


Have a blessed and peaceful Wednesday and I'll meet you back here tomorrow.

2 Thessalonians 1
3 through 12

3We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

 4So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

 11Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

 12That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.



Amen. Lord, set us aside and place an hedge round about us, that we may be in this world but not of it.
Strengthen us daily in our minds, bodies, souls and increase our faith that we may know and stand fast against the wiles of the enemy, amen.
Heavenly Father, let us be holy, that we may be found worthy in that great day of judgment to come, amen.

Until tomorrow then, have a blessed and peaceful Tuesday.

Matthew 5
3 through 12

3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

 7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

 8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

 9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

 10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.



Amen. In His Sermon On The Mount, Jesus teaches us The Beatitudes.
These beautiful teachings describe the inner qualities of a true believer of Christ and of the Father's promise of blessings for us in the future.
Let us learn them, embed them upon our hearts, that we may obtain eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, amen and amen.

Until tomorrow, have a blessed and peaceful Monday.

Ephesians 6
1 through 8

1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

 2Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

 3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

 4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

 5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

 6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

 7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

 8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.




Amen. Heavenly Father, give us the strength and patience to honor all of your commandments with purity of heart and soul, whether we be free or in bondage.
Let us be a light in this world of ever dimming darkness.
Let us lift up and encourage all who will hear your Word and draw them nigh unto the kingdom come, amen and amen.

Until tomorrow, then, have a blessed and peaceful Sunday.

Proverbs 24
1 through 10

1Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.



Amen. Lord, we ask that you grant us wisdom and understanding as you did your servant Solomon.
You are our shield and our buckler and we stand on your Word. Give us the strength of Samson, oh Lord.
Though we may be faced with great trials, give us the courage of Esther and the patience of Job and, above all, give us the faith of Abraham and David and the Love and forgiveness of Christ Jesus, amen and amen.

I pray you have a blessed and peaceful Saturday and I'll meet you back here tomorrow.

1 Corinthians 13
4 through 7

4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.


Amen. The Greek word for charity is agape and characterizes God and what He manifested in the gift of His Son Jesus. Christ's love for us is undeserved and without thought of return.
Let us show charity (love) to others in the same way as Jesus did, whether we feel they deserve it or not and without expectation of anything in return, amen.


Until tomorrow then, have a blessed and peaceful Friday and a great weekend.

Romans 7
22 through 25

22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


Amen. Lord, renew in us, daily, your Holy Spirit, that we may resist the temptations of the flesh, amen.

Let us ever be mindful of your Word, Lord, and stay focused on the things to come, amen.

Let us pray, steadfastly, and share the good news with all who will listen, amen.


Until tomorrow, then, have a blessed and peaceful Thursday.

Psalm 119
BETH
9 through 16

9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

12Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.




Amen. Father, teach us thy statutes, burn them into our hearts, that we may walk in righteousness and truth, daily spreading the Good News of the kingdom to come and drawing all that are lost to you, Lord. In Jesus name we pray and ask this, amen and amen.

Revelation 8
1 through 6

1And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

3And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.



Amen. In these last days, I pray that we all stay focused on the kingdom to come.

Let us not be caught up in the worries and the evils of the world, rather, stay continually focused on the Lord and His Word.

Let us speak the Word to all who will hear it so that they might accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and that they might escape the judgment to come, amen.

Galatians 5
16 through 21

16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.




Amen. Father, let us stand fast in the faith and be in this world but not of it.
Let us, daily, beg your forgiveness for any uncleanliness of sins that we have done.
Lord, let you Holy Spirit live within us and use us in whatever way see fit.
Let us be a light to those in darkness that they, too, may spend eternity in heaven with us, amen and amen.

Luke 6
45 through 49

45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.




Amen. Let us guard our tongue as we guard our heart, that nothing unrighteous issues forth from it.
Let us allow the Holy Spirit to use us daily to speak the Word of the Lord most high to all we come into contact with, amen and amen.
I want to take a minute to wish all of you fathers a wonderful Father's Day and I pray you get the opportunity to share it with your kids so that you can show them just how much you love them.
