Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;

There will be a time of Judgement, but the Lord waits patiently, to give all a chance to repent, and turn to Jesus. He does not want any to perish. Won’t you give your heart to him today? Can you feel the spirit tugging on your heart. Don’t wait, be a part of something, so much greater than yourself. Stop right now, and say, Lord, I want to follow you. I give my life, for you to use, for your will, not mine. Thank you for saving me, by your sacrifice, and death on a cross. Thank you also, for rising, and conquering death, and the promise of life eternal. Amen!
The price……He gave his life! The value, a clean slate forever, to all who believe, with their hearts, and confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord. Let us shout it from the mountain tops today, an every day, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God. Can I get an Amen, to those who believe?
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
JOHN 19:30 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jhn.19.30/32867
Lord, may you show us your greatness, in the little things we do, and the interactions we have, with others today. May you reveal to your greatness, that our hearts might be filled with joy, and proclaim your greatness to others. Amen.
For this reason You are great, O Lord God ; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
2 Samuel 7:22 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/2sa.7.22/5751
Thank you Lord, that we are wonderfully known by you. May we use this for good, to allow us to be changed by you. May we not withdraw from you, as we see our own sinfulness, but embrace your truth, that we are whole, by putting our faith and trust in Jesus. Amen!
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
Psalms 139:23-24 NASB
Are you filled with the spirit? If not, then why? See below for a link to know how you can be filled with the spirit, if you are a believer. If you are not a believer, you need the other link, for becoming a believer.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Our deeds are not because we are so good. It is an outpouring of our hearts, when we understand how good, God is to us. His Grace and Mercy should flow out of us, because we have been the benefactors of them.
“I, the Lord , search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.
Jeremiah 17:10 NASB
Our Salvation comes from Faith, through Grace. Because of this, the Works overflow from us, through the Holy Spirits empowering. It is not in, and of, our own strength or power.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 NASB
Mankind, can never earn their salvation! It is a futile effort, to do this in our own strength. The Good News though, is God makes it all possible, through Jesus. We are forever grateful Lord, for what yoo have given freely to those who will receive. Amen
And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 NASB
Are you bearing fruit or are you not? Are you a Christian, or are you just giving lip service that will not be acceptable?
If there is no fruit, you will be taken away. That is not a place you want to be. Pray that the Lord would help you fully see that you might produce fruit. If you are bearing fruit (true believers), the sin in your life will be pruned away, that you may produce more fruit! How great for those who believe, to have God help us, throw off the sins that hold us back. This is a process, that does not happen over night. May we hand over to God, those sins, so that we might not have to go through the painful process of pruning as much. Let us hope for and wait, for that day when we are called home, to be fully complete, lacking in nothing!
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2 NASB
