Love Will Surpass All Things

1 Cor 13:8-13

^8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

¹¹When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.

¹²We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

¹³But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.


God's words here is awesome! He reveals here that Love will surpass all things. When the time comes, after all the preaching and speaking, when all is said and down and the time is complete, Love will still overcome.

Love is such a powerful thing, and God is Love. It is withstanding, and can withstand through all. When Jesus comes, and it has been completed, then Love will still remain. God wants us to love and to continue loving through all things, because it is what should drive us.

Father God, I pray for these words, these brilliant and powerful words of Love. Let your Love be so great in my life. Let the Love of Christ overflow in my life and into those that I encounter. Let the Love of Jesus be so evident, that You may be glorified, and that Your love be reached to all. I pray this be done. I pray that Love be the basis of my reasoning. I give love, show love, and be driven through love. Through Christ Love who strengthens me. In Jesus name.
Amen.

Sheeps Follow, Follow Jesus

Mark 6:32-34
³² So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. ³³ But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. ³⁴ When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.


Jesus saw the people here, needing something, like sheep without a shepherd. I learned that sheep are designed to be followers. If the did not follow Jesus, then they would follow other things. Jesus had compassion on them, and began to teach them the Truth.

That is one Truth, that sheep follow, and that we are like sheep, that man tends to follow. Jesus shares here the Truths, and that men will follow His words instead of the enemy's. So, in all that I say and do, I do so that others may follow Jesus.

Father God, You are alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. You are the great One. I give you praise and glory in all things. I pray for the word that You have instilled in my spirit. Give breath to it, and let it flourish in my life. Allow me to teach others the Truth that You have given, and that sheep that follow may be followers on Christ Jesus. I pray for all that hear to believe in Christ Jesus. I declare this and give you thanks for what is to come. In Jesus Mighty name.
Amen.

Forget About What They Say, Trust Jesus

Mark 5:35-36

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."


Jesus goes to Jairus' house to heal his daughter. When word came of her dead, their faith was lost, but Jesus said to trust in Him.

There is always times when I trust in Jesus, but I need to discount the enemy's attack and not listen to them. I need to put all my faith in Him.

Father God, I pray for your word, your glorious word. Let it speak to my spirit and touch it. Allow your words to lift me up and give me Your breath. Give me hope and faith in You. Lord, I pray against outside discouragement, but I know Your plans for me. I pray for Your Holy Spirit to continue to guide me. Let me put my trust in You. I give thanks and pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.

How Wonderful Is His Words

Mark 2:13
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.

Jesus went and taught many times to many people. They knew who He was and were hungry for His words.

I could imagine, just being there, listening to Jesus speak. How wonderful would that be. I would imagine so much wisdom being revealed, and would be so hungry for more of his "sermon". I think it needs to always be like that, to always want more of Him, and of His words. That is the Bible. I need to continue to have that desire to seek His words everyday.

Father God, You are magnificent. You are so wonderful. Your words are spoken in truth and in light of all things. I thank you so much for who you are. I pray over your words, that it may speak life into me. Give me that desire to want You more. I want to continue to read more of You, and have Your Holy Spirit speak into mines. Thank you so much Lord. I give thanks and praise in Jesus name.
Amen.

I Take Comfort In The Lord

Psalms 23:1-6
¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³ he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.


David writes this passage to express his feelings and emotions on how comforting and protected he feels as the Lord is part of his life. He expresses the peace that he has knowing that the Lord is at his side.

When I read this, I also feel safe, and peaceful. I know that the Lord is with me, and that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and that I can overcome the enemy through the blood of Jesus Christ. This passage gives me hope, peace, and confidence in the Lord.

Father God, I pray over these words that You have spoken over my life. I pray for your anointing just be overflowed into my life. I take comfort in You, Lord, and I praise Your name in all things. Take the glory, because You above all deserve it. thank you for all that you have done for me, and continue to guide me, and direct me according to Your will. I pray a hedge of protection over my life, that I be under cover by Your grace. Thank you so much, and I pray this in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.
