Late at night, the boat was far out at sea; Jesus was still by himself on land. He could see his men struggling with the oars, the wind having come up against them. At about four o'clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them, walking on the sea. He intended to go right by them. But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and screamed, scared out of their wits. Mark 6:47-49
How many times is it that the disciples of Jesus struggle when their Lord is not with them. When Jesus is not with them, they are always attacked by the devil. When Jesus is with them, there is protection around Him. With Jesus, you are safe and strong.
I know that when I am in the Spirit of the Lord, I am a strong christian that has His protection over me. But, when I am without Him, then temptation comes, struggles come, problems come at me. Only with His strength that I may fight these sins. Only with His power that I can withstand the devil.
Lord, I thank you for your Holy Spirit. I give you glory, Father. I pray that you be with me as I walk with you. I pray that this rhema that you have given to me give me strength to walk with you. I pray that you be with me and let me know that You are my God and only with your strength do I fight off the devil. I thank you for that Lord. I pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.

Christians In Pairs
Jesus called the Twelve to him, and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority and power to deal with the evil opposition. He sent them off with these instructions: Mark 6:7-8
As Jesus' example, christians do better when we are accountable to each other. He sent his disciples out in pairs because he wanted them to be accountable for each other. Having another christian with you will keep you strong. I know for a fact that when I am with my fellow brothers and sisters, they keep me walking in the Lord.
I am weak when I am by myself. Even with the Lord's strength and spirit, it is difficult to be a christian by myself. If I am with the Lord as well as with a brother or sister, then I am much stronger in the Lord. I need to always surround myself with people that I can trust and people who will keep me accountable to the Lord.
Father God, I thank you for your Holy Spirit. I give you all the honor and praise your Holy name. I also thank you for my brothers and sisters that keep me walking in your name. I am blessed to have them in my life. I thank you for them and right now I pray that you be with them as you have been with me. I pray that you watch over them and give them strength like you have given me. I thank you and give you all the glory.
Amen.

Trust In You
35While he was still talking, some people came from the leader's house and told him, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36Jesus overheard what they were talking about and said to the leader, "Don't listen to them; just trust me." Mark 5:35-36
Jesus is always telling us this. Sometimes it is hard when something so drastic happens that it is difficult to trust in the Lord. When your child dies, you need to draw strength from the Holy Spirit and trust in Him.
I know its difficult to trust in the Lord all the time, but its even more difficult to trust in Him when nothing is going your way. He is the creator and life. He has His plans for us. I need to always trust in His words and to trust in His spirit.
Lord, I thank you for your name. I thank you for your Holy Spirit to give me strength. I need your strength so that I may trust in You. I know sometimes it is diffucult to trust in your when things are going wrong, but let me be strong in you, that I may always trust in you. I thank you and praise your Holy name. I give you all the glory. I want to pray that you be with me Lord Jesus.
Amen.

He Is My Rock
And why? Because you have forgotten God-Your-Salvation,
not remembered your Rock-of-Refuge.
And so, even though you are very religious,
planting all sorts of bushes and herbs and trees
to honor and influence your fertility gods,
And even though you make them grow so well,
bursting with buds and sprouts and blossoms,
Nothing will come of them. Instead of a harvest
you'll get nothing but grief and pain, pain, pain. Isaiah 17:10-11
This is definately something that I don't want to happen. I don't want to lose track of myselft and forget about my Lord. It says here that "not remembering your rock, and although you are religious, your trees will not produce fruits." If I don't reliaze that He is my rock, my power, my strength, then all these things that I do will be for nothing.
I need to always remember that He is my strength. I give all the glory to Him. I need to keep on His path and remember to know that God is my Rock, my Strength, my Power that I can always hold on to. Without Him in my life, in my works, there will not be great outcomes, no great fruits.
Lord, I thank you for your love for my. I thank you for your strength that you have given me and thank you Daddy for walking with me. I know that it is You who gives me strength, it is You who guides me Lord. I pray that I remember you in all things and have you in my works Lord so that it may produce good fruits. I thank you and pray that you give me courage and strength to do your will.
Amen.

Faith In Jesus' Power
Awake now, he told the wind to pipe down and said to the sea, "Quiet! Settle down!" The wind ran out of breath; the sea became smooth as glass. Jesus reprimanded the disciples: "Why are you such cowards? Don't you have any faith at all?" Mark 4:39-40
Jesus has to power over all the things on Earth. He is the living God and all things are in His command. He is the strength that is in US. Because the Disciples didn't have faith in Jesus, they were scared. They FEARED what was thought to be out of their control. They needed Jesus. I need Jesus. Without Him, I am powerless before all things spiritual.
I know that God is in my life. I have Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my life giving me strength, giving me power. Without Jesus, I am powerless to do anything. I need to put my faith in Him that He has all things in His hands. I need to have faith in His power that He is with me through my troubles.
Lord, I thank you and give you all the honor and all the praises. Your name is Holy among all things on Earth. I pray that you be with me and give me power and strength, that I may believe and have faith as huge as a mountain in You. Lord, I thank you for your strength, for you encounter, that You have changed my heart to be a greater servant for you. I thank you for your word, and let me know that with Jesus besides me, I have strength to do all things in Him. I thank you and keep your word in my heart.
Amen.
