"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 7 September"
Today's Bible Verse: Romans 5:19 "For as by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will made be righteous."
"Disobedience" are specific acts that violate standards established by God and also focuses attention on a corrupt human nature. Sin lives lives in the human personality. It is a distortion of that which God created, a warping of our natural desires, understandings, and wills, so that we want and choose what is wrong.
The word "made" in this verse means "to make", "constitute". As the result of Adam's sin, we as the humans race became sinners. It was by the death of Jesus Christ that we are made righteous. That means, believers are actually being constituted or made righteous. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the believer who has been declared righteous by God is continually becoming more righteous.
Today's Hymn: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"
Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassion's, they fail not, As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy Faithfulness! Great is Thy Faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank you for making us righteous because of the shed blood of Your Son Jesus Christ, who died to set us free, and release us from the shackles of bondage to sin, and eternal death. We thank you, and praise Your Name, that we now belong to Christ and our heritage in Him, is righteousness and eternal life.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Jesus interjects life, the opposite of death, making us alive to God and guaranteeing a bright eternal future."

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 6 September 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: James 4:5,6 "Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "the Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
Envy here is God's jealous longing for our love. Our Heavenly Father is truly disturbed when we abandon friendship with Him to make friends with the world and he is disturbed for our sake.
How does God respond to this? Not with punishment, but "more grace" to lead us back into His arms. Only our own pride can keep us from responding to His grace, turning our back on the world, and experiencing His blessings.
Today's Hymn: "Redeemed How I Love To Proclaim It"
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child and forever I am
Redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed, redeemed His child and forever I am
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank you for Your Grace that saves us from our sins and for the cleansing power of the blood of Your Son Jesus Christ which cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "In prayer, God does not bow to our will; instead we submit to His good will for our lives."

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 5 September 2011"
Today's Bible Verse" Mark 10:14-16 "But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whosoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it. And He took them in His arms, laid His hands on them and blessed them."
"Wow" What a wonderful description of the love of Jesus for children. Since I am a child of God, I as these children in Today's verses am looking forward to the day with His taking me in His strong and loving arms and laying His hands upon me, and His gazing into my eyes and hearing Him talk and laugh.
When the disciples of Jesus rebuked parents who tried to bring there children to Him, He was "deeply displeased". We are foolish to ignore the little ones who are very important to the Lord. Children show sincerity, eagerness, a trusting attitude and total dependence on their parents. With that child-likeness, we as Christians need to have that same attitude in serving and being dependent on our Heavenly Father.
Today's Hymn" Child of the King"
My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold, His coffers are full He has riches untold
I'm a child of the King, a child of the King, with Jesus as my Savior, I'm a child of the King
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, May we come before you as children with sincerity, eagerness, a trusting attitude and total dependence on you for everything that we do as Christians in serving You as our Heavenly Father.
Amen

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, it is my sincere prayer and petition Father that You will be those in other countries that don't have the freedoms of religion that I enjoy in this country. I pray that as they gather to worship You, that You protect them and keep them safe and as the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ and His free Gift of salvation spreads that all who hear will be convicted by the Holy Spirit and that many souls will be won for Your Honor and Glory.
Amen
Your Sister in Christ,
Being One with You

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 2 September 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: Ephesians 5:15,16 "See that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
To walk "circumspectly" is to step gingerly or "watch carefully how you live." We should watch our path to avoid contact with undesirable influences.
In verse 16 redeeming the time means "taking advantage of opportunities" or "making the most of every opportunity" for service. We have a limited amount of time on this earth. We as Christians need to exhort as much time as possible for advancing the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world. We must clearly understand what the will of the Lord is.
Today's Hymn: "A Shelter In The Time Of Storm"
A shade by day, defense by night, a shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes afright, a shelter in the time of storm
Oh, Jesus is a rock in a weary land; a weary land
Oh, Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a shelter in the time of storm
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, as we arise each morning to start a new day and as we dress to get ready for that day, remind us to put on love so that we honor and glorify You in all that we do and say. How thankful we are Father that You are our shelter in time of storms.
Amen

Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40: 13,14 "Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has taught Him? With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of justice? Who taught Him knowledge, and showed Him the way of understanding?"
God is the only being in the universes that possess independence from the creation. The only limits to God's freedom are in His own nature and attributes. God is unlimited in His existence. Because His existence relates to His nature rather than His will, God will exist forever.
In Exodus 3:13-15 when God revealed His name to Moses at the burning bush, He called Himself, "I AM". This name revealed God's self existence, the fact that He always existed and always will. neither anyone nor any outside force will effect God's relationship with us. He will deal with us according to His nature because He is free from any outside influence.
Today's Hymn: "Victory In Jesus" (verse 2)
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again, and caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came through and brought me the victory
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood
He loved me 'ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory, beneath the cleansing flood
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we are Abba Father that You are indeed the great "I AM". How thankful that because of who You are, You are the same YESTERDAY, the same TODAY, and the Same FOREVER. Thank you for Your promises that You make to us that You make and how grateful we are that You never change Your mind. Thank you Jesus for bringing us the victory because of the Cross of Calvary and Your Resurrection from the grave.
Amen
