Matthew 10:14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

• It was Jesus’s instruction that we focus on those that are receptive to what we share.
• We have a message within us and we ought to continually want to give it to those who want to receive it.  Often we don’t know until we give it who will receive.
• If there is a constant resistance we don’t need to keep pursuing it if they have heard it we can just move on to the next person that will receive it not wasting our energy on those that are not really interested in the gospel or yet ready for it.

Prayer:  Lord I commit myself to You today.  I ask Holy Spirit that You will guide me and make me effective in being a witness and a soul winner.  Lead me to someone today to witness and/or to lead them to the thrown of grace.  I am Yours Lord.  Amen.

Song of Songs 6:3  He is within me—I am his garden of delight. I have him fully and now he fully has me!

• We were created to worship and love Him.
• We have been made in His image with His own DNA, His love for us is unlike any other love that He has for any of His other creation.
• We ought to belong to Him and our life’s journey should be one of growing and intimacy with Him.

Prayer:  My Father, how I thank You for Your salvation and Lord Jesus that You died for me.  I can not live without You and can not even entertain the thought of not walking with You.  Thank You for Your kindness and love to me through all these years.  I worship You and commit myself and my love towards You once again fresh today.  I love You with all my heart.  Amen.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

• All Christians agree – the Lord is returning!
• So many things in the earth are indicating that an end is approaching.  We as children of God are excited and a new beginning then starts.
• When Jesus returns He will not come as the lamb of God only, but rather the lion of Judah – victorious! 

Prayer:  Lord with excitement and joy in my heart I look forward to Your return.  Help me to always be mindful of this and know that You are coming back for us and I want to be ready and to share this message and gospel with each one.  Lead me I pray in Jesus name.  Amen.

John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

• So often and so easily our hearts are troubled by so many things in life.
• We have to really work against getting stressed, anxious or troubled in our hearts.
• We trust in the Father God Almighty and in Jesus who never lets us down.  We will depend upon Him.  Trust is blindly dependent upon the one you are trusting.

Prayer:  Lord I do trust in You and decide to continually trust in You regardless of how things look.  I will leave my life in Your hands and know that the outcome will always be according to Your purpose and plan.  Amen.

Psalms 112:4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.

• No matter how dim or difficult it seems there is ALWAYS a way. 
• Even when we can see it, God has a plan and deliverance.
• God always comes through for us when we belong to Him and exercise compassion and grace towards others, it will come back to us when we need it.

Prayer:  Lord teach me Your ways and help me to always walk with kindness and grace to others that I can expect will be functioning in my life.  I submit to You completely.  Amen.

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

• We only get this encouragement because of what we face or what we go through.  
• We will take courage because we have a God that will help us in every circumstance. 
• He will NEVER forsake or leave, we can bank on that, regardless of how we feel or what it looks like.

Prayer: How grateful I am today Lord that You will never leave nor forsake me.  I can be strong and courageous regardless of what things look like.  I will not be afraid or let the enemy lie to me or make me feel guilty or shameful, because You are my helper and my strength.  You are the constant God in my life.  I bless Your holy name today.   Amen.

Psalms 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

• There is a seeking that we must reach for; a real earnestness of wanting to hear from Him.
• God does answer! 
• And He will deliver regardless of what our situation is or who we are, He does answer and delivers.

Prayer:  I praiseYou this day Lord, because You are a God that not only hears but answers.  I seek You with all my heart continually because You are my God and there is no one like You.  I bless Your holy name.  Amen.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

• So often life seems to be difficult and have unpleasantness, but God has made everything beautiful.
• All of us have the understanding or the sense of eternity that awaits after this natural life.
• Our capacity to grasp God and all that He has done and all He is going to do is extremely limited, but we trust in Him and we know that He is able to make all things beautiful.

Prayer: How I praise Your name today Lord for how You have made all things beautiful, even through the trials and difficulties You always come through and do things beautifully.  You are a wonderful God and a wonderful Savior and I am so grateful to be Your child. Amen.

Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

• The devil has worked very hard to withhold understanding from us; that we have complete authority over him.
• This authority is given purely by faith in Jesus and because He said so.
• We can put into reality and action that the enemy can not harm us in any way.

Prayer:  Lord, I do confess and believe these words that I have authority over the enemy and all the attacks of the enemy and that by Your command he has to obey and submit and be yielded to the authority that You have given me.  Help me Lord to exercise it.  Holy Spirit direct me I pray in Jesus name.  Amen.
