You Should Always Pray…

Luke 18

“You should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1

Lord, thank you that you finally have all our titles’ priced correctly on Amazon.

“Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night?” Luke 18:6

I continue to ask that you bless ALL of our titles and provide a business succession plan.

“I tell you, he will see that they get justice and quickly.” Luke 18:8

Please give me justice with regards to Harper Collins. Please allow me to grow my writing career. Also allow me to step back and let others step forward to lead LPC.

Reveal a way to have a donor / patron / sponsor plan to fund LPC.

“You are a minister and witness.” Acts 26:16

When we have visions of what Jesus wants us to be, it is important that we learn not to be “disobedient to the heavenly vision.” Do not doubt that it can be attained. ~ Oswald Chambers

Lord, this is my prayer today.

The Flood Came and Destroyed Them All…

Luke 17

“The Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:24-27

Lord, may your presence in my life be like lightning flashing across the sky. May it illuminate my life and may your presence shatter my apathy.

Let other people criticize us as they will. Oswald Chambers

“It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.” Luke 17: 26-30, 37

The Kingdom of God Is Within You…

Luke 17

“Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to the person through whom they come. Watch yourselves.” Luke 17:1 & 3

“Where are the other nine? Were not all 10…? (helped, cured, cleansed)” Luke 17:17

Lord, you understand the 10% principle. You recognize that 10% of those who are helped will show their appreciation. My Father, help me to show gratitude for the one who appreciates my help. And help me at all times to show my gratitude and thanks for all you do for me each day.

“The Kingdom of God does not come with careful observation. It is within you.” Luke 17:21

Lord, please help me today to watch my steps, keep my lips sealed, and have my eyes focused on you. May I see your Kingdom at work within me today.

Trouble almost always makes us look to God, but His blessings tend to divert our attention elsewhere. Oswald Chambers.

A Great Chasm Has Been Fixed…

Luke 16

“The angels carried the poor man to Abraham’s side. Meanwhile the rich man saw Abraham far away. Abraham said to the rich man, ‘Between us and you a great chasm has been fixed so that those who want to go from here (heaven) to you (hell) cannot. Nor can anyone cross over from there to us.”

“Then have the poor man warn my five brothers, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.”

“They will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.” Luke 16:22-31

Lord, please send someone with your Good News to those in my family who live today on the other side of the great chasm. I ask that you send your angels to watch over the members of my family. Make yourself known to them.

Has my life been a good reflection of His reputation? Oswald Chambers

“What you have whispered in the ear…”

Luke 12

“This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God. This very night your life will be demanded from you.” Luke 12:20-21

My Father, you are in heaven. Your storehouse is in heaven. Today help me to have your view of what matters most.

“He who disowns me before me will be disowned before the angels of God. Anyone who blasphemies against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.” Luke 12:10

Lord, this is a hard saying. A terrifying word. I cannot stand before you, but through your strength I can stand in you. Please give me the strength of your Spirit.

“There is nothing concealed that will not be made known.” Luke 12:2 “What you have whispered in the ear in the inner room will be proclaimed from the roofs.” Luke 12:3

May my secret prayers and petitions for others be fulfilled in You. Today, Lord, please help me to keep my tongue and avoid saying anything that does not honor you.

Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude. Oswald Chambers.

The Dead Are Raised…

Luke 7

“The dead are raised.” Luke 7:22

“Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.” Luke 7:23

Lord, please give me your strength to stand firm for you. May I see life sprout from the grave. Protect me today. Keep me from sin. Keep me from harm.

“The seed is the word of God. 11 “But the devil takes away the word from their hearts so that they may not believe and be saved.” 12 “In the time of testing they will fall away.” 12 “But those of a noble and good heart, by perseverance, will produce a crop.” Luke 7 :11-15

Lord, there are motives I cannot discover, dreams I cannot realize. Help me to persevere and push on to produce a good crop for you.
