Father, sometimes we get deceived that it is our light that shines bright. May we walk closely with you Lord, that it is your light that shines bright, and lights our path, that we might see clearly.

Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord!

Israel, by sowing tears of repentance over sin, the nation reaped the harvest of a joyful return to the land of Israel. Lord, May we sow our own tears of repentance as a country, and as a church , that we may also reap the joy, of your forgiveness, and your lovingkindness. You are the God who, rejoices in our coming before you with a humble heart. (See link below for link, My Chain are Gone by Chris Tomlin)

Oh Lord, help us to remember that we are not to take on the job of the Holy Spirit. Our job is to speak the word in Love, to all. We are not to try and convict, but to explain your truth that has changed us. Our role is spiritual, not political. Government cannot save us, but Jesus can.

Transformed = Metamorphosis (This is a Process in our daily life. One day we will be completely transformed). See notes & video below!

transformed. The Gr. word, from which the Eng. word “metamorphosis” comes, connotes a change in outward appearance. Matthew uses the same word to describe the Transfiguration (Mt 17:2). Just as Christ briefly and in a limited way displayed outwardly His inner, divine nature and glory at the Transfiguration, Christians should outwardly manifest their inner, redeemed natures, not once, however, but daily (cf. 2Co 3:18; Eph 5:18). renewing of your mind. That kind of transformation can occur only as the Holy Spirit changes our thinking through consistent study and meditation of Scripture (Ps 119:11; cf. Col 1:28; 3:10, 16; Php 4:8). The renewed mind is one saturated with and controlled by the Word of God

A Note from the Apostle Paul on Prayer. A Spiritual Battle indeed.

This verse introduces the general character of a believer’s prayer life: 1) “all prayer and petition” focuses on the variety; 2) “at all times” focuses on the frequency (cf. Ro 12:12; Php 4:6; 1Th 5:17); 3) “in the Spirit” focuses on submission, as we line up with the will of God (cf. Ro 8:26, 27); 4) “be on the alert” focuses on the manner (cf. Mt 26:41; Mk 13:33); 5) “all perseverance” focuses on the persistence (cf. Lk 11:9; 18:7, 8); and 6) “all the saints” focuses on the objects (cf. 1Sa 12:23).

A Prayer of gratitude, to our Loving Father.

bible.com/bible/100/psa.95.6.NASB1995

Father, we come before you in humility. You are Holy & Righteous & Perfect & Just & Know & See all things. Before you, we bow, because our heart are grateful for your gift of your son, Jesus. He has made all things right, that we might stand before you as clean and whole, in spite of our sinfulness. We are eternally grateful, and bless your name, today, and everyday. Amen

May our light shine bright, for the world to see. May that light, not point to us for our perfection, but to Jesus, who was perfect in every way. The God/Man who came to give us this light and life.

This never gets olds, hearing that I can’t earn salvation. The Law cannot save me and when I strive to earn it I am never good enough, but through Jesus, I am made whole, by his gift, that he has freely given, to all who receive it. What a terrible burden, that I am free from the yoke of the Law.

Praise to the one, who has given us Jesus, so that we might have access, to the thrown of God. We celebrate this time of year, that we were given this gift of the Son of God, who was God in human flesh.
