THE NUMBER ONE NAME

 

Psalm 29:2

 

"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness." ESV 

 

To ascribe is to acknowledge the source or owner of something. God's name is the source of all that is love, wisdom, and power. We are to honor His name as such in our worship and in our daily walk. Our worship is not dependent on our display of worship that others see. Our worship is counted as holy when our hearts are clean and humble.

 

Lord, You are the source of all things good and holy. May we bring honor to Your name at all times. And, help us to always come to You with clean and humble hearts. In Your magnificent name we pray, Amen.

JUST A LITTLE WON'T HURT!!!!!!!

 

Revelation 2:20

 

"But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols." ESV 

 

Living in an immoral world is difficult. Living in a world that is full of seemingly harmless departures from the truth is dangerous. How can we compromise with the values and beliefs of this world and remain holy? Compromising with the world may keep us from being ridiculed and persecuted, but it will cause us to lose holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

 

Heavenly Father, oh how we know that this world is full of things that would make it appear all right for us to follow. We pray that You would give us discernment that will keep us from compromising with this world. Then we will remain pure as Your children. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GET RID OF IT

 

Colossians 3:5

 

"Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." ESV

 

When we were born again into the Body of Christ, we were made new. However, we are still confined to this earth and to its natural laws. We continue to have thoughts and desires that are contrary to God's way. We are commanded to totally get rid of these ungodly things that are in our human nature. No excuses, no exceptions. These things are sexual thoughts and actions outside the bounds of marriage; anything that stains our Christian testimony; wanting anything that is detestable to God; giving in when we know it is wrong; and being dissatisfied with what we have, always wanting more.

 

Heavenly Father, help us to use our faith and the power You have given us to put to death all of the desires and actions that place us in danger of Your displeasure. Give us courage to take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, and actions. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

 

Hebrews 12:14

 

"Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." ESV

 

We are commanded to fight against sin and evil. We are not to fight against each other or anyone who opposes us. We are to exert our greatest effort to keep a peaceful attitude and gentle behavior toward everyone. This is not always an easy thing to do. But, if we keep ourselves clothed with holiness, which means being detached from worldliness and attached to Godliness, we will have access to the same attitude God has.

 

Heavenly Father, help us to walk in holiness as Jesus did. Give us the Spirit of Peace so that we will be at peace You and all those we encounter. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

WANNA SEE GOD?

 

 

Hebrews 12:14

 

"Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." ESV

 

The watered down gospel today tells us that since God is a god of love, He would never send anyone to hell. Unfortunately this is a lie direct from Satan that deceives many each day. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ, and if we have truly put our faith in Him we will bear His fruit. These are not works we do on our own. The fruit is a natural expression of the life of Christ in us. Peace and holiness will pour from those of us who have true faith in Him and we are those who will see our Lord for eternity. God never sends anyone to hell. They choose it rather than let God control their lives.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for those times we do not show peace and holiness because we have let our faith grow complacent and cold. Give us the urgency of the danger of being in this state. Help us grow in Your grace that we will have the faith in You that will produce the fruit of peace, and the holiness like Christ had when He walked this earth. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

WE ARE SO IN DEBT

 

 

1 Thessalonians 4:7

"For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. ESV

When we confess our sin and believe by faith that Christ died and rose again to redeem us from our sin, He is our Saviour. He did not intend for us to stop there and "be saved" and keep on living like we always have. He requires that He become our Lord and Master as well. If we are living a holy life, it is our testimony that we truly believe He is our Saviour.

Heavenly Father, how we praise You and thank You for our salvation You secured for us at the cross. We thank You and praise You for giving us all we need to live a holy life showing the world You are our Lord and Saviour. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
