08/02 Matthew 21:22
22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
TRUTH
This is truth straight from the Lord. Talk with Jesus. Ask Him anything and He will discuss it with you. Jesus will answer you and He will deliver as He says He will. Trust in the Lord, obey Him and He will do it.
08/01 Hebrews 11:1
1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
KNOW
When we know in our heart that the promises of the Lord are true we are on our own personal journey of faith. Be strong in the Lord. Listen to Him as He guides you.
July 31 Psalm 43:3-5
3 Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. 4 There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God! 5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!
REJOICE
We are encouraged to rejoice in the Lord Jesus. He is our peace. He is our joy. Praise the Lord with all that is in me and in all things sing His praises. The Lord is good and worthy of all honor and glory and praise. Praise the name of the Lord.
July 30 Colossians 1:28
28 So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.
TEACH
We are called to teach Jesus Christ to all. We tell them what HE has done for us. We explain our faith and hope. We live out our confidence in Jesus victoriously. He is alive and He is alive in us.
July 29 Colossians 1:22
22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
CURED
Jesus has cured us of our sin sickness. Once we were dead in our sin and trespasses and now we are alive in Christ Jesus. Jesus is Lord.
July 28 Colossians 1:19-20
19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, 20 and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
PEACE
Peace is available in Jesus. We need peace. We are often desperately looking for peace. Jesus is our peace.
July 27 Colossians 1:18
18 Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything.
HEAD
Church is the body of Christ. Jesus is the head of the church! He is in charge. He has explained what He wants and He expects us to do things that way.
July 26 Colossians 1:17
17 He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.
ALL
Jesus is the Creator, the active ingredient that holds everything we see together. Nothing exists without Him. He is God’s Everything. We begin with Jesus, we grow in Christ and we will be with Him throughout eternity.
July 25 Colossians 1:15-16
15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.
CREATOR
Jesus is the Creator of all the things we see and cannot see. He is active in our world. We need to grow in our relationship with Jesus so that we will know what the Lord wants us to do. Pray, read, listen, all three are important in growing our relationship.
July 24 Colossians 1:13-14
13 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
ALIVE
We are alive in Jesus Christ. He gave us life when we asked Him to forgive our sin. Now you too can have this life in Christ if you choose it. But, I want you to know that whether you accept Jesus or not does not change the fact that the Christ is Lord of Life and the Son of God. Jesus is alive.
