Are you His disciple?… Day 105
16:24 Matthew “Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” (NIV)

Jesus shares with the disciples the events which will happen as He goes to Jerusalem and to His cross. It is a hard message to understand. It is a hard message to accept. They want Him to stay with them. Yet, our salvation depended on His denying of Himself and then dying for our sins. We also are to deny ourselves. We are to change our priorities. We are to refocus our lives on His will and not our own. It is still a tough message to accept. It still gives us the best life possible both now and FOREVER!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ to circulate this verse to other Christians among your family, friends and co-workers. Ask what they have had to deny of themselves to follow Jesus. Ask what blessings they have received as a result of that denial. Let them know that you pray for them. Ask for their prayers as well. We are the body of Christ. We need to strengthen it through prayer. Be faithful as you Take Time For God’s Word at 16:24 (4:24 pm) and as you remember His cross, then remember this verse. I am a visual person so I like to have verses printed and posted on bulletin boards, refrigerators, etc. I like to see them. I like to re-read them (even if I know them). I want those words to touch my soul. I want them to become a part of who I am. Then I want them to impact and influence every decision that I make. Please keep sharing this verse. We need to be reminded of it often. Be blessed as His disciple!

Next in our monthly prayer cycle are prayers for all of the doctors, physicians, PA’s, Lab Techs, etc. who support us in our aches and pains, our diseases, and accidents in life. So many demonstrate great compassion and caring to their patients. Many let their great faith show in how they care for and pray for their patients. Others take ‘vacations’ as oversees medical resources to care for those in desperate need. Thank them for their service. Support them in their efforts. Show them blessings in return. Stay blessed always! Pass it on relentlessly by carrying the cross with you wherever you go! ... See MoreSee Less

Yes, it is all about who you know!… Day 104
16:16 Matthew “Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (NIV)

Peter speaks boldly. This time, he even gets it right. He catches a glimpse of who Jesus really is. He knows that Jesus is his only hope. He begins to see that Jesus is the only hope of the whole world. Then, Peter thinks that Jesus’ plans depend on him… he doesn’t yet understand that Peter’s plans ALL depend on Jesus. How about you? Are you still hoping that God will follow your plans? Or, are you earnestly seeking to follow His plans for you and for your life in Him. Let God be God… you will live through an awesome life if you do!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ to make known this verse to family, friends and co-workers in His kingdom. Ask if ‘facts’ we learned as kids all proved to be true. Ask if new information has changed them or even replaced them with better information. Share with them that the facts about Jesus are just as true now as they were when He walked on earth. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That is something you can believe in! Then Take Time For God’s Word at 16:16 (4:16 pm) and as you think about Jesus, then recall this verse. This is a verse with a repeating number (16:16). If you can anchor it to the number 16, like sweet-16, teen years, basketball tournament, address, part of a phone number, birthday, etc. then whenever you think of 16, you can easily remember 16:16 and that “Jesus is the Son of the living God”. Like so many things in life, we remember them when they stand out… when they are exciting… when they impress you… OR when they save your life. This verse does all of that and MORE! Keep 16:16 close to your heart!

We pray for our hospitals and clinics. What a blessing they are. They help so many people every day that we take it for granted. We see the skills and treatments which we expect to be routine yet they have been developed and improved over years and years. God continues to use these institutions and the women and men who serve there to work miracles in healing people and in restoring them to health. Many of those are outreaches for churches called to serve the hurting and helpless. Show appreciation for their care. Volunteer to help there if you are able. THANK YOU if you work in one of those places. Be a blessing to all who seek help there. Pass it on by your small acts of love from the great heart of God! ... See MoreSee Less

Answering important questions clearly… Day 103
16:15 Matthew “But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?” (NIV)

Jesus continued to teach the disciples and to show them great miracles. He wanted to see if they truly understood what they were seeing and if they knew the real meaning of His mission. He asked them a direct question. Some answered what others were saying about Him. They repeated what others said… Jesus wanted to know what they believed. It is a question that He also asks of us. We each need to answer it from our hearts… from our own personal experiences. Please have a ready answer for anyone who asks. Speak from the heart. Speak with conviction. Speak with gratefulness. Speak with His love for the one who is asking!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ to send on our verse to family, friends and neighbors around the corner or around the world. Ask if they have ever needed to give an ‘eye witness’ account of an accident or event. Ask how that made them feel and how they responded. Let them know that you can give an ‘I witness’ testimony to all that Jesus has done for you. You know it deep in your heart and you are glad to share it with others. Always Take Time For God’s Word at 16:15 (4:15 pm) and as you are asked to state what you believe, then remember this verse. You may want to add this as a silent (vibrate only) Alarm on your phone for 4:15 pm with the title ‘Who do you say I am?”. It is a good question to reflect on each day. It reinforces what you believe. It challenges you to know Him more deeply. It prepares you to share His love with others. Those are ALL good things to do on a regular basis. Jesus is THE answer for the world today!

Our focused prayers today are for all of those people in hospice facilities or in Alzheimer’s care units. We pray for the patients, families, and care providers there. It is SO hard to see loved ones slipping away from us a little at a time. We want to do more for them yet it is hard to know what that is. Give them your time… your love… and your grace. Just be there with them as they go through this. Ask that God grant them peace and His continued loving care. He will be with all of you through even the darkest days. Stay blessed. Pass it on to those who have cared for you all of your life… give back to them now while you can! ... See MoreSee Less

Jesus cured them all!… Day 102
15:30 Matthew “Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.” (NIV)

Wherever Jesus went, people sought Him out. They wanted to hear His words. They wanted to experienced His healing. They wanted to see their friends cured and restored to health. They wanted Him to care for them. He still cares for us. Do we still seek Him out the way that people did in the past? Or, do we take Him for granted… calling out ONLY if there is an emergency? Seek Him daily and experience His love and peace throughout each day by recalling His Word in your hearts! Best way to live ever!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ to give this verse to close family and best friends. Ask how far they would travel to be healed of an illness. Ask what they would give to be cured of an illness or physical issue. Offer to pray with them and for them. We do not always know God’s timing but we do know His great love for us. Always Take Time For God’s Word at 15:30 (3:30 pm) and as you see someone who may be handicapped, then recall what Jesus did in this verse. We sometimes need to be reminded that He has removed ALL of our sins… what a great healing of soul that has been. That then assures us of eternal life with Him. Count all your blessings each day. Pray BIG! God is an awesome God!!

We pray for all of those who are living in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. We pray for the families of those people and for all of the workers and staff at those places. People are there for a variety of reasons yet all are there to get care and support. If you know people there, reach out to them. Call. Write. Visit. It will be a blessing to them. We need to do that more often. Look for ways to be a great blessing to others. You will also be blessed in the process. Pass it on to those who need it most! ... See MoreSee Less

Even the crumbs are enough!… Day 101
15:27 Matthew “Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table.” (NIV)

Jesus finds great faith in many people even beyond the people of Israel. They know His power. They know His heart. They believe that He can and will grant healing. This woman from Canaan pleads for her daughter’s healing from being demon-possessed. She persists. Jesus sees her great faith and grants the healing. He often tests us to see if we also truly believe…whole-heartedly. What do you need to ask for today and believe it can be done for you by Jesus? Have faith!!

Click ‘Like’ on this post and click ‘Share’ to send along this verse to family, friends and co-workers in His kingdom. Ask what they would do if their family member’s life depended on their asking for help. Ask how persistent they would be to get the attention of Jesus for that healing. Share this story with them. Tell of this woman’s great faith. Ask if there is anything that you can pray for with them. Continue to Take Time For God’s Word at 15:27 (3:27 pm) and as you see crumbs at a meal, then think carefully about this verse. If you have pets, you know that you make sure they are fed. Sometimes even table scraps! Use that to help you think about this verse and the faith of this woman who KNEW that Jesus could release her daughter from demon-possession. She persisted until He saw her faith and granted her request. How persistent are you in prayer? Keep faithful in your prayers every day!

We continue to pray for all of the Christian schools and pre-schools across our country. While they may be out for the summer, they need our ongoing prayers for their ministry to the students, their families, and to their communities. What a great witness they can be. What a great place for them to train up young women and men as they grow and mature in education and in faith. We need that now more than ever in our country and in our world. Be a faithful supporter of Christian educational programs. Volunteer if you can. Thank you if that has been your vocation. You are a great blessing!! Pass it on with prayers of faith and belief that Jesus can do what He has promised! ... See MoreSee Less
