"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 5 June 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: Romans 12:1-2 "I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to god which is your reasonable service. And to not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect Will of God."
In verse 1, based on God's mercy we as believers are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, meaning that we should use our bodies to serve and obey God and such giving is a "newness of life." "Holy" means "set apart for the Lord's use", "acceptable" means, " pleasing to Him" and "reasonable" indicates that such a gift is the only rational reaction to all the good gifts God has showered upon us.
In verse 2, conformed means "To form" or "mold." Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold. The world exerts all sorts of pressure us to adopt to its way of thinking. But believers are not Jell-O. We don't have to conform to this world. We are transformed from within by God.
Spiritual transformation starts in the mind and heart. A mind dedicated to God's truth will produce a life that can stand the test of time. We can resist the temptation of this world by meditating on God's truth and letting the Holy Spirit guide and shape our thoughts and behaviors. Trust God's will to be good, test your confidence by doing God's will, and you will discover God's way is truly good, pleasing and perfect.
Today's Biblical Truth: God has given EVERYONE one or more GIFTS that can be USED in His SERVICE."
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, help us in our endeavor not to be like Jell-O and be conformed to this world, but shape us, mold us, and transform us in accordance to Your Will. You Abba Father, are the Potter, and we are the clay. Thank You Father for making us a way when there is no way. Keep us ever so close to You and provide us our Strength in all that we do. Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for there Faith and Trust in Jesus. Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court. Pray for God's Peace on the city of Jerusalem and His Blessings on the Nation of Israel. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"Blessed are they that keep in testimonies, and that seek Him with his whole heart." Psalm 119:2
Jesus Reigns!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
