Today‘s Scripture(s) – 1 Chronicles 28:9; Isaiah 55:7-8
“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. … Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”
Who are we to presume that we know what the mind of God the Father is? His Word tells us in Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” I praise my God that His ways are not my ways or your ways or any of the ways of any man or woman, for men’s ways are flawed, unreliable, unstable and often time selfish and wicked. (I know that all of those that read this that say ‘I’m a good person’ will not like what I just said, but I must say like my brother in Christ Nick has said so many times ‘good by whose standards?’) I have a scripture that answers the good syndrome: Mark 10:18 “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.” Every day we need to seek the Lord and ask Him to help us to keep our hearts right, I know that I have to. Every day we need to seek the Lord and ask Him to help us to keep our minds and our thoughts right, I know that I have to. I am prone to have thoughts that are not what they should be. I don’t mind admitting it and I have to sometimes fight harder than other times to get and keep my thoughts in line with what the Word says, I don’t mind admitting that either, but because I practice bringing my thoughts into captivity to the obedience of Christ, it has become easier than it was a year ago to get my thoughts to stay in order. 2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Do you not understand that if we will saturate our minds our thoughts in the Word of God just how empowered we would be, just how easily it would be to truly walk in the Spirit? Way back in the day many years ago I use to read what I call now ‘smut’ books. Whatever you allow to saturate your mind is what you will become Saints of God. ‘Smut’ books are filled with sin, filled with sexual promiscuity and fantasy, profanity and any perverse thing the devil can create to take over your mind and fill it with evil and wickedness. People who read this type of literature do not realize that their souls are chained and bound and are clueless to the bondage they are in, when they finish one book they are racing to find the next to keep feeding their thoughts with perversion. (I know the Lord is speaking to someone today, because in my flesh I would not be writing this, it is the Spirit of the Lord that speaks Dear Ones.) Forsake the wicked way! Fill your mind with the things of God. Ask the Lord to give you a hunger and thirst for HIS Word and begin to fill your mind and thoughts with His Word to be set free in your thoughts and brake the chains that bind your soul.
Today‘s Prayer:
Father I bless you for this day. Thank you for reaching out and touching me and awakening me from my slumber and sleep to see another day that you have made. I will rejoice and be glad in this day Lord. Father I thank you for your mercy and your grace today. Thank you Father for your goodness and your mercy that follows me all the days of my life, Father I thank you that I will dwell in your house forever, Father I thank you for your love and your kindness and I thank you Father for being so good to me. Lord you are so great. Lord you are so wonderful and I love you Lord and I bless you Lord and I give you all glory honor and praise. Father today I ask that you would keep my heart and my mind right before you. Help me Holy Spirit to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of my Father God and help me Holy Spirit to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Father today I lift up my brothers and sisters before you that are tormented with thoughts that are not their thoughts, open their eyes to see that the thoughts that plague them are from the enemy and that you Father have given to them the power to cast these imaginations and high things down in the name of Jesus Christ. Give to my brothers and sisters who are bound by the spirit of perversion and deception that drives them to read the books that are filled with sin, give them the determination to throw away these books, get them out of their homes and anyplace that they may occupy and take the desire for them away from my brothers and sisters Father God in the name of Jesus. Give them a hunger and a thirst for your Word Lord. Give them the desire to saturate their hearts, minds and thoughts with your Word Father God. Give them a desire to consume your Word like never before in the name of Jesus. Father I thank you, Father I praise you, Father I give you all glory and honor. You are so good and you are so great and you are so loving and so kind, thank you Father for setting your children free today, thank you Father for fighting for us and cutting down the enemy that comes to try to kill us, steal from us and destroy us. Thank you Father God for hiding us under the shadow of your wings, thank you Father God for being so wonderful to us, In Jesus name I pray. Amen

If You Have Not Made Jesus Lord Of Your Life Pray This Prayer:
Today Lord, right this very minute I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I need a Savior. Your word says that there is no other name under heaven by which a man or woman can be saved and that name is Jesus. Today I repent of every sin that I have ever committed, I repent of every sin that I have done and I ask you Jesus to come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. I believe that you Lord Jesus shed your precious blood and died for my sins, I am willing to turn from sin and live a life that is holy and pleasing in your sight. I now invite you Christ Jesus to come into my heart and live in me and be my personal Savior. I ask that you would fill me with your precious Holy Spirit, lead and guide me in this life Lord Jesus. Thank you for saving my soul. Amen.
