Tuesday Morning Scripture (Wk31/2021) – Isaiah 43:1-7

Israel Redeemed

1 But now, this is what the Lord, your Creator says, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are Mine!

2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.

3 “For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt [to the Babylonians] as your ransom, Cush (ancient Ethiopia) and Seba [its province] in exchange for you.

4 “Because you are precious in My sight, You are honored and I love you, I will give other men in return for you and other peoples in exchange for your life.

5 “Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east [where they are scattered], and gather you from the west.

6 “I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from far way and My daughters from the ends of the earth,

7 Everyone who is called by My Name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”

Isaiah 43:1-7 (AMP)

Monday Morning Prayer (Wk31/2021)

El Elyon, The Most High God, I come before Your Throne of Grace to glorify You and magnify Your Name. I give You thanks for blessing me with another day and thank You for holding my life firmly in Your mighty hands, so I need not fear. Old things have passed away and everything is brand new, therefore, I put away mistakes made, guilt and shame and step forward as a new creature.

Today, I acknowledge that life and death is in the power of the tongue. I, therefore, speak into existence all things that I wish to be poured upon me this day and through the week. I am anointed to do and be all I put my mind to, as I have answered Your call. I am above every thing or person that may cause me to doubt my abilities or cause me harm. I am not beneath; I will rise up gaining new strength, as You are continually renewing my power and defending me in every way possible. I am bold and not meek; where I am weak You are strong. Today, I choose to look for You in every conversation and task, as Your Word says You will never leave nor forsake me. I am not where I was and I am not where I will eventually be, for You have great things planned, for my expected end. Through Yeshua HaMashiach, I am more than a conqueror. I am victorious. My Father and my God, I trust in You.

but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (AMP)

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].

2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)

11 In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but by the [spiritual] circumcision of Christ in the stripping off of the body of the flesh [the sinful carnal nature],

Colossians 2:11 (AMPC)

22 yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—

Colossians 1:22 (AMPC)

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 Yeshua, 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 (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)

Monday Morning Scripture (Wk31/2021) – Romans 8:31-39

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 He who did not spare 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 those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31-39 (AMP)

Thursday Morning Prayer (Wk30/2021)

Abba Father, I awake thanking You for a new day, what You did for me yesterday and what You intend to do today. I ask for forgiveness of any sin that may stand in the way of me achieving what I am to accomplish and ask for the strength needed to remain focused.

Today, I choose to consecrate myself for Your service. I thank You for being the God that can be approached at any hour, minute and second of any day. I thank You for being a God of forgiveness, so will forgive me of time I may fritter away, rather than be about Your business. There is a saying that the mind is willing but the body is weak, and I can relate. Paul says that Your power is made perfect in his weakness and that is the same for me today. I pray that I may live my life with purpose and to do so I need to position myself; mentally, physically and spiritually. Your Word says that all I need do is ask and I shall receive; seek and I will find; knock and the door will be opened. Therefore, I’m asking for Your direction: I’m seeking Your face in every situation; I’m knocking at the door of opportunity asking that You provide me with the ammunition and agility to shoot down and eliminate whatever blockages, be they mental or physical, preventing me from all that I am to achieve. I understand that You will equip me for every challenge, situation and conversation ahead of me. My Father and my God, I trust in You.

5 gold for the things of gold, silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work to be done by craftsmen. Now who is willing to consecrate himself today to the Lord?”

1 Chronicles 29:5 (AMP)

“If you return to the Almighty [and submit and humble yourself before Him], you will be built up [and restored]; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tents,

Job 22:23 (AMP)

9 but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.

10 So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].

2 Corinthians 12:9-12 (AMP)

Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].

James 4:10 (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 (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages).

Amen (So be it)

[Verse 1]
You gave me my hands to reach out to man
To show him Your love and Your perfect plan
You gave me my ears, I can hear Your voice so clear
I can hear the cries of sinners
But cannot wipe away their tears

[Verse 2]
You gave me my voice to speak Your Word
To sing all Your praises, to those who never heard
But with my eyes I can see a need for more availability
I’ve seen the hearts that have been broken
So many people to be free

[Chorus]
Lord, I’m available to You
My will I give to You
I’ll do what You say to
Use me Lord to show someone the way and enable me to say
My storage is empty and I am available to You

[Verse 3]
Now I’m giving back to You all the tools You gave to me
My hands, my ears, my voice, my eyes
So You can use them as You please
I have emptied out my cup so that You can fill me up
Now I’m free, I just want to be more available to You

[Chorus]
Lord, I’m available to You
My will I give to You
I’ll do what You say to
Use me Lord to show someone the way and enable me to say
My storage is empty and I am available to You

[Interlude: Choir]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

[Chorus]
Use me Lord to show someone the way, and enable me to say
My storage is empty and I am available to you
My storage is empty and I am available to you
To you, you
My storage is empty and I am available to you
To you

Wednesday Morning Scripture (2) (Wk30/2021) – Colossians 3:12-17 (AMP)

Put On The New Self

12 So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper];

13 bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive.

14 Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others].

15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].

16 Let the [spoken] word of Christ have its home within you [dwelling in your heart and mind—permeating every aspect of your being] as you teach [spiritual things] and admonish and train one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

17 Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Colossians 3:12-17 (AMP)

Wednesday Morning Scripture (1) (Wk30/2021) – Psalm 34

The Lord, a Provider and the One Who Rescues Me.

1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul makes its boast in the Lord; the humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, And let us lift up His name together.

4 I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience], and He rescues [each of] them.

8 O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good; how blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him.

9 O [reverently] fear the Lord, you His saints (believers, holy ones);

For to those who fear Him there is no want.

10 The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,

But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you to fear the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience].

12 Who is the man who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous [those with moral courage and spiritual integrity] and His ears are open to their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears and rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

18 The Lord is near to the heartbroken and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin).

19 Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, but the Lord rescues him from them all.

20 He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.

21 Evil will cause the death of the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be held guilty and will be condemned.

22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, and none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

Psalm 34
