10/03          2 CHRONICLES 6:21

21 May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.

FORGIVE

Only the Lord, in Jesus Christ, can forgive our sin.  We stand in Christ’s righteousness, and He paid the price for our sin which was His shed blood.  Jesus loves you and HE is Lord.  

OCTOBER 2 – 1 CHRONICLES 16:11

11 Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.

DAILY

His mercies are new and refreshing each morning.  Spend time talking with the Father.  Praise Him and offer up prayers of gratitude and thanksgiving.  Remember that it is the Lord who loves you.  Spend time with Jesus.  

OCTOBER 1 – 1 JOHN 5:14-16

10/01          1 JOHN 5:14-16 
14 And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. 15 And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for. 16 If you see a fellow believer sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 

HEARS

The Lord God Almighty hears your prayers.  Our Father answers our prayers.  Believe in Him and He will do it.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

LIKE
Children are Godly in that they believe God, what He says and what He calls them to do.  They simply trust and act on that trust.  They love God because He loves them.

LIVE

We live in the power of God.  Trust Him.  Spend time with Him.  Know that His power resides in us by the Power of the Holy Spirit and it is available for us to walk moment by moment in His power.  It’s not just talk.  It is the power of God in us and He gives us the power for Godly and Christ-like life.

9 Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. 

OBEY

We want to be loved and love but few focus on obey part of the promise.  We want to do our own thing.  Be our own person.  The Lord says we are to love Him and obey His commands.  This is critical for our personal spiritual growth and for the Lord to use us.  Love God and obey Him.
