Thursday Morning Scripture (Wk27/2021) – Romans 19:26-36

Our Victory in Christ

26 In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words.

27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will.

28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.

29 For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers.

30 And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity].

31 What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?

32 He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?

33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself].

34 Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us.

35 Who shall ever separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

36 Just as it is written and forever remains written,

“For Your sake we are put to death all day long;

We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.”

Romans 19:26-36 (AMP)

Wednesday Morning Scripture (WK27/2021) – Romans 8:18-25

18 For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!

19 For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed.

20 For the creation was subjected to frustration and futility, not willingly [because of some intentional fault on its part], but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope

21 that the creation itself will also be freed from its bondage to decay [and gain entrance] into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation has been moaning together as in the pains of childbirth until now.

23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection].

24 For in this hope we were saved [by faith]. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he already sees?

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure.

Romans 8:18-25 (AMP)

Tuesday Morning Prayer (Wk27/2021)

Abba! Father! I present myself to You giving all glory, honour and praise. I thank You for being my God of guidance, protection, strength and breakthroughs. I ask for forgiveness of all sin whether of thought, word or deed; seen or unseen; mental, physical or spiritual; and premeditated.

Today, I ask that I will walk in an overflow of Your glory. I exist daily and do not realise the things and people You have protected me from, but at this moment I acknowledge the ones I can remember, and give You thanks. I thank You for what You’ve done; You are doing; and what You intend to do. My Father, I thank You for being You and no matter what I do, as long as I remain within Your shelter, I will be okay. For nothing I do surprises You. You stand outside the realms of time and have seen me from my beginning to my end. My God, as I ponder on You, You amaze me over and over again. Wash over my soul, like never before. May the meditations of my heart and the words of my mouth be acceptable and provided by You. May we be one as I allow You to take control. Strip me of all that displeases You. Strengthen and make me what I ought to be. Equip me for todays tasks. My Father and my God, once again, I trust in You.

Then Moses said, “Please, show me Your glory!”

Exodus 33:18 (AMP)

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows.

Psalm 23:5 (AMP)

Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found; Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.

Psalm 32:6 (AMP)

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

Psalm 91:1 (AMP)

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

Romans 15:4 (AMP)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

Romans 15:13 (AMP)

20 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament),

21 Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).

Amen (So be it)

Hebrews 13:20-21 (AMPC)

Tuesday Morning Scripture (Wk27/2021) – Romans 8:9-17

9 However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God].

10 If Christ lives in you, though your [natural] body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness [which He provides].

11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

12 So then, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but not to our flesh [our human nature, our worldliness, our sinful capacity], to live according to the [impulses of the] flesh [our nature without the Holy Spirit]—

13 for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever.

14 For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba! Father!”

16 The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.

17 And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.

Romans 8:9-17 (AMP)

Monday Morning Prayer (Wk27/2021)

Abba Father, I awake this morning giving You all glory, honour and praise. I give thanks for all the goodness of Your Son Jesus Christ and what He came to this earth to do for me. I am one who is full of sin and gets things wrong time and time and time again but still I am welcomed back with open arms…….You never cease to amaze me! I thank You Lord for the forgiveness of sins of thought, word and deed; seen or unseen; and whether they be mental, physical or spiritual.

Today, may I truly know You and the full power of Your resurrection. I need and want it not to be what others have said, but what I have felt. Give me firsthand knowledge of Your brilliance and love and help me as I wrongly attempt to live my life in my own strength. Please teach me to just rest in You, so I will truly see Your Glory and Might, for You are to be greatly honoured and revered. May I live a life consecrated to You; no longer swept away by hurtful, idol and negative conversations and deeds, but to remain focused and available to You. My Father and my God, help me, as I trust in You.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10 (AMP)

9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of Israel, ‘Approach the Lord, because He has heard your murmurings.’”

10 So it happened that as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory and brilliance of the Lord appeared in the cloud!

11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12 “I have heard the murmurings of the Israelites; speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”

Exodus 16:9-12 (AMP)

And at that time the sign of the Son of Man [coming in His glory] will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth [and especially Israel] will mourn [regretting their rebellion and rejection of the Messiah], and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliance and splendor].

Matthew 24:30 (AMP

20 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament),

21 Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).

Amen (So be it)
