GOT HAPPINESS?

  Psalm 119:1 

 

"Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord." ESV

 

 

 

God's Word tells us how to be happy. If we have pure motives, as the basis for our actions, we will have happiness. If we live our lives within the boundaries of God's will, we will know true happiness. Being happy is the result of a pure heart and obedience.

 

Heavenly Father, we thank You that You have revealed to us the way to find true happiness. Give us pure hearts and the will to be obedient so that we may know You and have true happiness. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

TIME TO CLEAN THE HOUSE

 

1 Thessalonians 5:23

 

"Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." ESV

 

Because we are mere humans, only God can do for us that which we cannot do for ourselves. By way of His grace, He will separate us out from the world and make us holy. He will give us a clean conscience. He will give us a body that is His temple worthy of housing His Holy Spirit. He will give us a hunger to seek Him and obey Him. Then, when He comes back for His Church, we will be ready, without spot or wrinkle.

 

Heavenly Father, we ask for Your grace to set us apart and make us holy through and through so we will be found ready when you come for us. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

HE IS ABLE, ARE WE WILLING

 

 

Jude 24

 

 

"Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy." ESV

 

Will we stumble in our Christian walk? We will. Will we fall to the ground or will we allow the Lord to hold us up? We do not become Godly robots when we are born again. Our brains and our own desires are not replaced with a Godly remote control, so that we just go along in the world with no care of what happens because God has the controller in His hands. God tells us repeatedly in His Word, if we obey, if we stand firm, if we put on the armor, if we endure, if we stir up our faith, we will win the crown of eternal life Jesus Christ paid for with His own blood. He gives the promise, we choose to accept it by faith. Faith without works is dead.

 

 

Heavenly Father, we do not take Your great and precious promise of eternal life half heartedly. Forgive us for being spiritually lazy and thinking that we can hold on to our own selfish ways. Put increasing hunger in our hearts to fight the good fight, understand we are in a spiritual battle, and need to respond to the call to stand strong and endure by faith in Christ. In His name we pray, Amen.

HOLY SEARCH WARRANT

 

Psalm 139: 23,24

"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." NIV

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." KJV

Asking God to search our hearts and see if there is anything there that should not be there is like getting a search warrant for the police to search our home for anything illegal. God will search every tiny crack and crevice of our hearts so that He can reveal to us the things with which we need to take care. We tend to be in denial of our anxieties and offensive ways. By allowing God to search us in this way, we are purifying our hearts so that the Holy Spirit has a spotless home within us.

Heavenly Father, we do ask that You search our hearts and help us to accept and change anything You find that is not pleasing to You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

HE WILL KEEP US STRONG

According to our faith and trust in the Lord, He will keep us strong
and victorious so that we will be ready when He comes back for His
Church. We are always encouraged and reminded to stir up our faith,
keep the faith, and guard our faith.

Read 1 Corinthians 1:8

"He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless
on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." (NIV)

"Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." (KJV)
