"Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ set us free;
so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5: 1 RM)
The Spirit gives us the gift of self-control over every thought, word and deed. Great gift. Ask for it.

What you pray for and believe will happen has just happened.
"Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go on home. What you have believed has happened!” And the boy was healed that same hour!" (Matthew 8: 13 TLB)
By His stripes we are healed. The excessive Mercy of the Heart of Jesus is waiting to apply His Mercy in every area area of your need. Will you trust Him?

The boy John grew and became strong in spirit
"He will be great in the sight of the Lord and will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb; and many will rejoice at his birth." (Luke 1: 15, 14 RM)
Who does the above scripture refer to? John the Baptizer, whose birthday we celebrate today. John served Jesus with singleness of purpose, profound humility, great courage and total self-sacrifice.

If you do not build your life on the solid word of God, you build it on sand.
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock." (Matthew 7: 24-25 NLT)
A fool builds his family home on sand.

I choose you to produce abundant and lasting fruits
JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES:
"“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act." (Matthew 7: 15-16 NLT)
What fruit do you bear? Have you tasted and found good, the superabundant Mercy of the Heart of Jesus? Bear good fruits.

Jesus has made the Way to Heaven incredibly Easy today.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Matthew 7: 13 - 14 NIV)
What is the Narrowgate to Heaven today?
PRAYER AND MERCY:
1. ASK FOR MERCY
2. BE MERCIFUL
3. COMPLETELY TRUST JESUS FOR MERCY

The word of God is living and effective.
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7: 1-2 NIV)
No Criticize. No Complain. No Condemn. No Gossip. Gossiping is hard to give up. Gossip is offensive to Jesus. O Holy Spirit, help us to overcome the sin of Gossip.

You are Jesus, my Lord, my Savior and my God!
“Who do people say I am?”
“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.”
Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Who exactly is Jesus to you?

Do not Worry!
"So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6: 31 - 34 NIV)
Have you noticed that unbelievers worry a great deal?

Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be." (Matthew 6: 19-21 NLT)
Do you know people who store treasures for themselves on earth? How did their lives end?

Abba Father knows exactly what you need and when you need it.
“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do.... Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!" (Matthew 6: 7-8 NLT)
Take delight in this truth: GOD KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED AND WHEN YOU NEED IT.

Ask boldly with confident expectation and you will receive.
"When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha,
“Ask for whatever I may do for you, before I am taken from you.”
Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of your spirit.” (2 Kings 2: 9 RM)
The above word invites us to ask boldly and confidently for what we need. "Ask and you shall receive."

Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness.
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!" (Matthew 5: 43-44 NLT)
Do you think it is impossible to love your enemy? Try this: Pray for your enemy every day for one year (365 days). I have done this and I guarantee that it works.

Give and there will be gifts for you.
"Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow." (Matthew 5: 42 NABRE)
When you see a beggar at the street corner or any other location, what do you do? "He is lazy. He should get a job." Or, "He will use the money to buy booze." What does Jesus say?

I confess my faults to the Lord and You took away the guilt of my sins.
"Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” (2 Samuel 12: 13 NIV)
David was a man after God's heart. Why? Once he is convicted of sin, never offers excuses. When you sin, say to God immediately: "I have sinned. Have mercy on me." If your sin is very serious, pray Psalm 51 and then go for Reconciliation the very first opportunity.

Incline my heart, O God to Your decrees: and favor me with Your law.
"While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them [in approval and dedication] and sent them away [on their first journey]." (Acts 13: 2-3 AMP)
How do you know if the Holy Spirit has set you apart for a special ministry?
"For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable." (Romans 11: 29 NABRE)
Thursday, June 09, 2016
Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call; have pity on me and answer me.
"I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27: 13-14 NIV)
Waiting for the Lord to fulfill His promise is hard. The word of God that never fails advises us to be stouthearted and wait confidently. "Faith that is firm is also patient." (Isaiah 28: 16)

Open your mouth and proclaim God’s deeds. Sing joyful hymns to your Creator.
"The mouth of the just man utters wisdom, and his tongue tells forth what is right; the law of God is in his heart." (Psalm 37 (36): 30-31 RM)
How do you use your tongue, your power of speech? The Bible teaches that as the heart is filled, there goes the tongue.

My portion and Inheritance is assured. My future is utterly secure.
Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope.
"Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
I say to the LORD, “My Lord are you.”
O LORD, my allotted portion and cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
You will show me the path to life,
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever." (Ps 16:1b-2ab, 4, 5ab and 8, 11 RM)

O Lord, You put gladness into my heart, more than when grain and wine abound.
"The brook near where Elijah was hiding ran dry, because no rain had fallen in the land.
So the LORD said to Elijah:
“Move on to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there.
I have designated a widow there to provide for you.” (1 Kings 17: 7-9 RM)
Have you found out God's Plan for your Provision?
