12/16 Romans 10:13
13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
YOU
Do you feel like a failure?
You’ve tried to follow God and yet continue to be defeated.
Heartache swells up around you and you can’t move ahead.
The world is so dark.
Yet, our victory is in Jesus, not us.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Believe in Jesus, not the darkness of the world.
12/15 Isaiah 9:6
6 For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor,[a] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
PROPHECY
This is a prophetic message of hope during a dark time.
This tells us someone is coming, and he is human and divine.
He will give us divine insight, guidance and understanding.
This affirms the deity and power of Jesus.
He will be the source of true and lasting peace.
12/14 John 14:13
13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
ASK
We are to pray and ask in Jesus name.
Jesus is God and He came to earth to seek and save the lost.
Lostness is the tragic human condition.
All people are dead in their trespasses and sin,
Until they come to Jesus and receive the free gift of life.
Anything tells us that Jesus is powerful and extremely generous.
Praise the Lord.
12/13 John 14:6
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
SIX
This is number six of the “I AM” statements of Jesus.
Jesus is the exclusive way to reconciliation with the Father.
He embodies divine truth.
He reveals the Father to humanity.
Jesus is on a mission to save us from our sin.
12/12 Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
JESUS
Jesus is the highest authority, the highest power above all others.
All creation will recognize His Lordship-every tongue will confess.
The exaltation of Jesus brings glory to God the Father.
Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promise.
12/11 Acts 4:12
12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
EXCLUSIVITY
There is salvation only in Jesus Christ.
No one else can come to the Father except Jesus.
His name represents His power, sacrifice and divine authority to save.
Jesus is Lord.
12/10 2 Corinthians 9:15
15 Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!
GIFT
GOD’S gift which we cannot explain.
Too wonderful for words.
It is the blessing of the very essence of God.
He is gifting us His character in Jesus Christ.
Jesus is God’s everything.
12/09 Psalm 30:12
12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!

Sing praises to God.
It will transform us sorrow to joy.
It moves us from silence to praise.
It results in our change from despair to worship.
12/08 Psalm 106:1
1 Praise the Lord!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
INVITATION AND DECLARATION
Praise God with your whole mind and heart.
Focus your life every day on thanksgiving and gratitude.
God is good.
He is always good.
His love will never end.
He is committed to us and will always be faithful.
God is merciful-His mercy never ends.
12/07 1 Timothy 6:6-8
6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. 8 So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
GRATITUDE
Every day we learn better how to be grateful.
We are grateful for who we were created to be.
We are grateful for our lives.
We are grateful for Jesus.
