Understanding and appreciating what Jesus has done for us and developing a personal relationship with Him.
Eph 3:20 NHEB Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER! YOU ARE ” Excellent “. THE WORD EXCELLENT DOESN’T SEEM TO DO YOU JUSTICE. WE’LL HAVE TO USE SOME SYNONYMS: PEERLESS, MARVELOUS, PERFECT, EXCEPTIONAL, SUPREME, STERLING, EMINENT. YOU DO EVERYTHING TO THE INFINITE DEGREE. YOU ARE COMPLETE AND YET OVERFLOWING WITH YOUR LOVE, GRACE AND MERCY. NO ONE CAN COME CLOSE TO YOU IN ALL YOUR ATTRIBUTES. YOU GAVE US YOUR MOST BELOVED SON SO THAT WE CAN BECOME YOUR CHILDREN. UNFORTUNATELY, SATAN HAD BLINDED OUR EYES, DEAFEN OUR EARS AND HARDEN OUR HEARTS. BUT AS THE SONG GOES: ” WHEN LOVE BROKE THROUGH ” . GLORY BE TO GOD! YOUR “RECKLESS LOVE ” BROUGHT THE LOST SHEEP BACK INTO THE FOAL.
DEAR JESUS! YOU ARE OUR GOOD SHEPHERD. THANK YOU FOR TAKEN SUCH GOOD CARE OF US. WE SHALL NOT WANT! AS WE ABIDE IN YOU, THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING US , FEEDING US, AND GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW US ALL OUR DAYS. WE PRAY FOR OTHERS THAT ARE LOST AND NEED TO BE FOUND. BRING THEM BACK TO YOUR FOLD, WE PRAY GLORY BE TO GOD AMEN!

Mat 25:12 WEB But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
These are frightening words: “I don’t know you! ” That’s why we need a personal relationship with Jesus. Coming to Him daily in praise and worship and Thanksgiving. This is the oil that will keep our lamps burning. These things help our light to shine. You can only get the fullness of love, joy and peace from the one who overflows with it. Col 2:10 KJV And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Dear Jesus! In you is the fullness of life. In you we live and breathe . In you is the fullness of life, peace and joy. We are one in you. GLORY BE TO GOD ! Amen. SHALOM2U
Mat 1:21 KJV And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
JESUS SAVES: this is the good news ” The GOSPEL “. The too good to be true good news. Man finds it hard to believe and unfortunately too many churches are preaching the law instead of the GOSPEL- Good News. Too many Christians are trying to save themselves. They want to keep the law. They want to obey the law; but without Jesus doing it, it can’t be done. It will only produce ” self righteousness “. When we receive Jesus into our hearts, He comes in to save us. By faith not works, we believe and declare who we are ” in Christ Jesus “. We declare by faith that we are righteous in Christ Jesus. He then produces the gift of righteousness in our lives. This is how Jesus saves. When He does the work, we have peace-Shalom and the fullness of joy.
Dear Jesus. Thank you for doing what I could not do. I am righteous in you because you came into my life and saved me. I thank you for the peace that passes understanding and unspeakable joy. Amen
Mat 4:10 KJV Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Here Jesus is quoting : Deu.6:13 KJV Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. The old testament says ” fear ” but Jesus says “worship “.
The Father gave us His son Jesus so that we would love Him and not fear Him : For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. The bible goes on and says that perfect love cast out all fear . It also says that we love Him because He first loved us.
Psa 34:7 KJV The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Here again we see the word ” fear ” but God wants us to love and worship Him. People fear dictators; they don’t love them. God wants us to love Him.
Heavenly Father: we thank you for giving us your Son. There is no greater love than that. Forgive me for not fully appreciating your priceless give. I give you all glory and honor for there is no greater love than yours: Glory to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Shalom2u
EVERYONE KNOWS ” THE OUR FATHER ” PRAYER. THY WILL BE DONE. THY KINGDOM COME ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CHURCH HAS MADE A RELIGION OUT OF IT. INSTEAD OF THY WILL BE DONE; IT’S ” IF IT BE THY WILL ” . JESUS DIDN’T GO AROUND AND KEPT ASKING THE FATHER, IF IT BE THY WILL. NO, JESUS KNEW THE WILL OF THE FATHER AND HE SHOWED US HIS WILL THROUGHOUT HIS MINISTRY. GOD’S WILL IS ALWAYS GOOD. THE DEVIL’S WILL IS ALWAYS BAD. Joh 10:10 KJV The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. JESUS WAS ABLE TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER BECAUSE HE PUT THE FATHER FIRST PLACE IN HIS HEART. THIS IS NOT EASY TO DO. WE HAVE MANY DISTRACTIONS IN LIFE THAT KEEP US FROM PUTTING GOD FIRST IN OUR LIVES. WE BELIEVE IN GOD ; BUT WE PUT SO MANY OTHER THINGS FIRST IN OUR LIVES. MAYBE THAT’S OUR REAL ” CROSS ” IN LIFE. Mat 6:33 KJV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. A GOOD WAY TO DO THIS IS BY ” MEDITATING ” ON GOD’S WORD AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT. THIS GIVES HIM HONOR AND IN RETURN YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
DEAR JESUS: THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE FATHER AND HOW HE WANTS TO BLESS US, PROTECT US, PROVIDE FOR US. IN GOD IS OUR LOVE, JOY AND SHALOM/ PEACE. AMEN !

Mat 6:33 KJV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
IT’S NOT EASY FINDING AND LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. FIRST WE HAVE TO BE ” BORN AGAIN ” TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THAT’S OUR FIRST ACT WHICH REQUIRES FAITH AND BELIEF IN GOD. A LOT ENTER BUT FAIL TO GROW BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD REQUIRES FAITH. AS PAUL TOLD THE GALATIANS : Gal 3:3 NET Are you so foolish? Although you began with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort? EVERYTHING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD STARTS IN THE SUPERNATURAL AND THEN IT BECOMES REAL IN THE NATURAL. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE TAUGHT TO BE RIGHTEOUS IN THE NATURAL. WE TRY BY OUR OWN HUMAN NATURE TO LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY. WE CAN DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB BUT NEVER MEET GOD’S STANDARDS. Phi 3:9 KJV And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: THAT IS WHY JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS. 2Co 5:21 KJV For he ( GOD ) hath made him ( JESUS ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GOD’S GIFT TO US , HIS GRACE THAT WE RECEIVE BY FAITH IN JESUS ( NOT OURSELVES : THAT’S SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS ). Rom 5:17 KJV For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.). DID YOU CATCH THAT ? ” REIGN IN LIFE ” ! WE’RE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD : KINGS AND PRIESTS. WE COMMAND EVIL SPIRITS TO GO AND DECLARE GOD’S BLESSINGS ON ONE ANOTHER. IT’S ALL BY FAITH; DECLARING JESUS’S POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER THE ENEMY- SATAN’S KINGDOM. DECLARING JESUS’S GRACE, LOVE AND MERCY ON ALL, ESPECIALLY THE LOST.
DEAR JESUS ! YOU ARE THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS. YOU ARE THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION. WE DECLARE YOUR KINGDOM OVER THE EARTH. WE WILL NOT ALLOW SATAN’S KINGDOM TO REIGN ANY MORE. YOUR NAME IS ABOVE EVERY NAME SO THE ENEMY IS DEFEATED. WE DECLARE ” LIGHT BE ” IN JESUS NAME ! WE DECLARE SHALOM/PEACE IN JESUS NAME. TO GOD BE THE GLORY, AMEN !

Mat 9:2 KJV And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
NOTE : ” seeing their faith ” : it wasn’t the man’s faith but their faith. Isn’t it wonderful that we can intercede for others.
” your sins are forgiven “. They brought the man to Jesus ( Jehovah SAVES) and the man’s sins are forgiven. We’re not sure if he came to be forgiven, but Jesus forgave his sins anyway. God does things exceedingly, abundantly above what we can think or ask. The word ” save ” is ” sozo ” in Greek. It means save body, soul, and spirit: the whole man.
Dear Jesus: Thank you for giving your whole life as a sacrifice for me. By your sacrifice, i am ” saved ” ; body, soul and spirit. Thank you for your Shalom/ Peace. Amen

Mat 11:11 KJV Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
“BORN OF WOMEN ” , NOT ” BORN AGAIN “. WHEN WE ARE ” BORN AGAIN “, WE ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WE ARE ” IN CHRIST JESUS ” , A NEW CREATION, KINGS AND PRIEST, PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, MORE THAN A CONQUEROR. ALL OF THIS IS ” GOOD NEWS “. TO GOOD TO BELIEVE. GOOD NEWS; EXCEPT IT’S GOD’S GOOD NEWS. YOU ARE GREATER THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE ” BORN AGAIN ” . YOU ARE NOW ” IN CHRIST JESUS “. THIS IS WHERE YOUR FAITH COMES IN. YOU HAVE TO KNOW, BELIEVE, AND DECLARE BEFORE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BRING IT TO PASS. DON’T RELY ON YOUR FLESH FOR WHAT YOU SEE . SEE WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES ; SEE THAT YOU ARE A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS.
DEAR JESUS! YOU ARE AMAZING. YOU DO EXCEEDINGLY , ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL THAT WE CAN THINK AND ASK. YOU MAKE US MORE THAN CONQUERS BY YOUR LIVING IN US. NOW WE CAN DEFEAT THE ENEMY OF OUR SOUL AND LIVE IN YOUR LOVE, GRACE, AND SHALOM/PEACE. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. AMEN ! SHALOM2U
Mat 12:37 KJV For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
JESUS JUST GOT DONE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORDS ONE SPEAKS. HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE WORDS THAT YOU RECEIVE THAT GOES DOWN INTO YOUR HEART AND OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. WHEN WE LET WHAT THE WORLD SAYS IS TRUE INSTEAD OF WHAT GOD’S WORDS SAYS IS TRUE.; WE WILL SPEAK WORDS OF FEAR, DOUBT , AND UNBELIEF. IT’S NO WONDER WE DON’T RECEIVE WHAT WE PRAY FOR , FROM GOD. GOD WANTS TO BLESS US. HIS WORD IS FULL OF BLESSING THAT IS OURS THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS. WHEN WE RECEIVE JESUS AS OUR SAVIOR, THESE BLESSINGS ARE OUR INHERITANCE.
DEAR JESUS! THANK YOU FOR SUFFERING FOR ME. BY YOUR SACRIFICE, YOU REDEEMED ME FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW ( deut. 28 ). YOU FULFILLED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW. NOW THAT I AM IN YOU AND YOU ARE IN ME , I AM ” REDEEMED “. FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW. NOW I HAVE ALL THE BLESSINGS OF GOD. I WILL ONLY CONFESS THESE BLESSINGS. I AM REDEEMED: GLORY BE TO GOD. AMEN. SHALOM2U
Joh 1:12 NHEB But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name,
Everyone wants to be famous. Everyone wants to be a super hero. It’s nice to be recognized; to be noticed, to be honored etc.. Here we are given that opportunity to be someone special. Except for being God, there is no one that can come close to be a super being. Becoming a child of God is way above what anyone can fathom. It’s better than being Superman and yet God is given each one of us that opportunity to be His child. It’s one of the many ways that God reveals His great love for us. There are only 2 conditions to become a child of God. First it says ” believe in His name “. This may sound simple but there is a little depth into it. Many believe in the name of Jesus but only in a superficial way. Many don’t know fully what the name means. Jesus: Jehovah saves, Jehovah is salvation. We know that in a general way but the word” saves ” means much more in Hebrew. Salvation isn’t limited to ones soul or spirit but the whole man: body, soul, and spirit. God does everything completely, wholeheartedly. He does it all. Our part is to believe. This belief requires a continual relationship with Jesus the savior. Many receive by faith but then they go back trying to make themselves righteous by trying to keep the law. No ! It’s not our works but faith in Jesus to do it. When we abide ” in Him “, He does the saving. He is the ” tree of Life “. We constantly feed on Him declaring who we are” in Him “. 1Jn 4:17 NHEB In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world. Our righteousness is from faith in Him. 2Co 5:21 NHEB For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. This is the Good News, the Gospel. So when we sin, we confess that we, the born again man, is righteous because we are” in Christ “. Jesus will continue to change us into His image as we seek Him as our savior. Put to death the old man by believing and declaring the new man, the born again man. The born again man is your born again spirit man. Your soul has to be renewed and this is done by declaring who you are ” in Christ Jesus “. Then the Holy Spirit quickens the body to live.more like the born again man.
Dear Jesus: I thank you for making me into your image by believing in you. Believing that your sacrifice reconciles me to become a child of God. It was always the Father’s wish and you made it happen. Glory be to God! Amen. Shalom2u
Joh 10:10 KJV The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Who is the thief? It seems so obvious that it’s the devil but in the world; it’s always God that gets the blame. We call it ” acts of God “. But hear we can clearly see that it’s the devil. God gets blame for almost everything and yet it’s the devil doing it all. Instead of praising God for all He has created; we praise the creation instead of the God, the Creator. This allows the devil to do all his destructive work ( tornadoes , floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, sickness and disease) and put the blame on God. The devil is a master deceiver. He talked Adam and Eve into not believing in God and he is doing the same to us. The only way for us to fight against these tragedies in our life is to believe in God. Believe that God wants the best for you. He’s for you not against you. It takes faith. It takes knowing God, knowing His ways, knowing His promises. An example would be knowing PSALM 91. There are many promises in that Psalm. I call it preventive medicine. If we believe and declare these promises; we would see less evil in our lives. Faith is the opposite of fear. It’s only natural to fear certain things but if you can get those promises down into your heart, you will have faith to believe and not fear. Meditating on Jesus and all that He did for us on the cross will help us grow in faith and not fear.
Dear Jesus. We keep our eyes on you. You are the author and finisher of our faith. You are love. So we focus on your love knowing: 1Jn 4:18 KJV There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Your love is perfect. Thank you Jesus for your love. Amen Shalom2u
Joh 14:27 KJV Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
There is a lot of fear in the world but it shouldn’t be for Christians. It true that a lot of fearful things happen in the world but Luk 8:48 KJV And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. This woman was troubled for many years but when she believed in the Prince of Peace ( Jehovah Shalom) she touched Him by faith and received her peace. Her whole being was at peace: body, soul and spirit. She received her healing but much more . This is what Jesus wants to do for us. What ever the storm in life is causing you to be fearful; you must focus on Jesus and not the storm. The more we abide in Him, we will receive faith to believe and He will cast our fears away.
Dear Jesus. You said:
Joh 16:33 KJV These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. I choose to focus on you and not the storm. You are the Prince of Peace. I receive your Peace and give you praise and Thanksgiving for it. To God be the Glory! Amen
Rom 3:24 KJV Being justified ( made righteous) freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS ABOUT FAITH IN CHRIST ! IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE BUT BECAUSE WE’RE NOT TAUGHT ABOUT REALLY BELIEVING IN WHAT JESUS ACCOMPLISHED ON THE CROSS AND THAT JESUS REALLY DID COME TO SAVE US. WE KEEP TRYING TO SAVE OURSELVES . WE KEEP TRYING TO MAKE OURSELVES RIGHTEOUS. IT’S NO WONDER THAT MOST CHRISTIAN DON’T ACT LIKE CHRISTIAN. A LOT THAT DO, ARE DOING IT ON THEIR OWN. TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT. IT’S FREELY GIVEN BY GRACE. GRACE IS RECEIVED BY FAITH. JESUS IS THE SOURCE OF ALL GRACE. SO WHEN WE BELIEVE IN JESUS FREELY GIVEN US RIGHTEOUSNESS; WE DECLARE THAT WE ARE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH. THIS IS THE ” NEW MAN ” . SPEAKING IT BY FAITH, ENABLES THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CHANGE YOUR FLESH INTO ACTING LIKE THE ” NEW MAN ” : THE ” BORN AGAIN ” MAN. IT’S A PROCESS THAT BEGINS WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. DECLARING WHO WE ARE IN HIM ; BECAUSE OF WHAT HE HAS DONE. GOING FROM GLORY TO GLORY.
DEAR JESUS ! WE CONFESS THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU. WHAT YOUR SACRIFICE DID FOR US. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SAVES; THAT’S WHY YOUR NAME IS jESUS – “JEHOVAHA IS SALVATION”. ALL HONOR AND GLORY BELONGS TO YOU. WE THANK YOU FOR THE FREE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COME FROM YOUR AMAZON GRACE. YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL OUR LOVE, JOY, AND PEACE – GLORY BE TO GOD. Shalom2u
Rom 4:17 NHEB As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER! ALL PRAISE HONOR AND GLORY TO YOU! WE KEEP THINKING ABOUT YOUR DIVINITY. WHAT REALLY SEPARATES YOU FROM COMMON MAN. YOU DECLARE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE AND THEN THEY BECOME. IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS DARKNESS AND YOU DECLARED ” LIGHT BE ” , THEN LIGHT APPEARED. LATER YOU PROPHESIED THAT JESUS WOULD BE BORN BY A VIRGIN, BORN IN BETHLEHEM, PERSECUTED AND REJECTED, DIE BUT RISE AGAIN. ALL THESE THINGS CAME TO PASS. YOUR PROPHETS WOULD DECLARE ALL THAT JESUS WOULD DO TO SAVE ( BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT ) US. THESE ARE THE GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES THAT WE ARE TO BELIEVE AND DECLARE. IN DOING SO, WE BECOME PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE THAT YOU HAVE ORDAINED US TO LIVE BY. THROUGH THESE PROMISES, WE DECLARE THAT WE ARE RIGHTEOUS ( NOT BY OUR OWN SELF EFFORTS ) BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. WE ALSO DECLARE ” BY HIS STRIPES WE WERE HEALED “.
DEAR JESUS! WE LOOK TO YOU AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE TO SAVE ( BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT ) US. YOUR SACRIFICE WAS COMPLETE. IT DID MORE THAN WE COULD EVER THINK OR IMAGINE. AS WE ABIDE IN YOU, HELP US TO BELIEVE ALL THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR US. TO GOD BE THE GLORY AMEN!

Rom 10:4 KJV For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO MEDITATE ON IT TO GET DOWN INTO YOUR SOUL. WE BEEN TAUGHT THAT YOU HAVE TO OBEY THE LAW ETC., TO BE A REAL CHRISTIAN. ACTUALLY A REAL CHRISTIAN IS ONE WHO HAS COMPLETE FAITH IN JESUS. JESUS SAID BEFORE HE DIED ON THE CROSS: ” IT IS FINISHED ” . THIS IS WHY JESUS IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE FULFILLED THE LAW FOR US. 2Co 5:21 KJV For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. JESUS WAS RIGHTEOUS. HE FULFILLED THE LAW BUT TOOK OUR SINS SO THAT WE COULD RECEIVE ( BY FAITH IN JESUS ) HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. IT’S 100% HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT WE RECEIVE BY FAITH. WHEN WE KNOW THAT, BELIEVE THAT, AND DECLARE THAT WE ARE RIGHTEOUS IN HIM; THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GIVE LIFE TO WHAT WE CONFESS. OUR NATURAL MAN WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY GLORY TO GLORY INTO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST. ” TO ALL THAT BELIEVE “.
DEAR JESUS ! YOU DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE CAN IMAGINE OR THINK. WE BOW DOWN TO YOU, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. AMEN!

1Co 2:14 KJV But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
YOU CAN NOT RECEIVE BY YOUR SENSES : WHAT YOU SEE WITH YOUR EYES, HEAR WITH YOUR EARS, BELIEVE WITH YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING . YOU RECEIVE BY FAITH; BELIEVING GOD’S WORD, IT’S THE NEW MAN, THE BORN AGAIN MAN, THE SPIRIT MAN THAT RECEIVES.
Col 3:10 KJV And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Rom 8:4 KJV That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Holy Spirit please help us not to look on and reply on the natural man but the born again Spirit man. When we meditate on the word of God and focus on Jesus, bring revelation to us so that we will believe, declare and you will manifest it in our lives. In Jesus name Amen.
Gal 2:21 KJV I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
How do we frustrate the grace of God? When we fail to believe and declare what Jesus did for us by His sacrifice on the cross. Many believe that He died on the cross but they fail to see how it effects them. For His sacrifice to effect someone, they must know in order to believe. This knowing must get into the heart so that it will come out of the mouth and speak in faith believing. Jesus died for all mankind; yet it is only to those that believe and confess their righteousness is from Jesus that receive His righteousness and are saved. This is what it says in Phi 3:9 KJV And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: It always goes back to ” Christian faith ” , faith in what Jesus has done for us. We believe, we declare and then the Holy Spirit quickens us to become more like Jesus.
Dear Jesus. I praise you everyday and declare that it is no longer i live but you living through me. You are my Savior. Amen
Eph 1:6 KJV To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
EVERYONE LIKES TO BE ACCEPTED. GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. HE INVITES EVERYONE TO COME. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW GOOD OR BAD YOU ARE. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE WILLING TO COME. GOD DOES HAVE SOME VERY HIGH STANDARDS BUT HE TAKES CARE OF THEM WHEN YOU COME. YOU CAN’T COME WITH YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS. YOU HAVE TO GET IT BY FAITH IN THE ONE WHO PAID THE PRICE FOR IT. Phi 3:9 KJV And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: JESUS PAID A VERY HIGH PRICE TO MAKE US ACCEPTED, TO MAKE US RIGHTEOUS ; SO TO RECEIVE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE. BELIEVE WHAT ? YOU MAY ASK ! BELIEVE THAT YOU’RE A SINNER THAT NEEDS A SAVIOR AND JESUS IS THAT SAVIOR. WHEN YOU ASK JESUS TO SAVE YOU, HE COMES INTO YOUR HEART AND YOU ARE ” BORN AGAIN ” AND MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH NOT WORKS. AS YOU CONTINUALLY ABIDE IN HIM, HE WILL SAVE YOU. IF THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG IN YOUR LIFE, ASK HIM TO SAVE YOU. DON’T CONFESS WHO YOU ARE IN THE NATURAL BUT CONFESS, WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. THIS IS CALLED ” WALKING IN THE SPIRIT ” . Rom 8:1 KJV There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. WHEN YOU SIN, CONFESS THAT ! THAT IS THE OLD MAN BUT NOW YOU ARE A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS. 2Co 5:17 KJV Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS, HIS GRACE RECEIVED BY FAITH.
DEAR JESUS ! I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT SACRIFICE. YOUR ARE MY SAVIOR ! I AM NOT ONLY ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED BUT MADE RIGHTEOUS AND A CHILD OF GOD. GLORY BE TO GOD ! THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR PEACE. SHALOM2U
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
We are in a spiritual battle but most people don’t recognize it and even most Christians.
Mat 11:12 KJV And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. We see political battles and it can get pretty ugly. The church is in a spiritual battle and we aren’t even fighting. We pray that God’s will be done, expecting God to do it. The truth of the matter is that God has already told us His will and Jesus has defeated the enemy. He has given us His name and His authority and power but we are not using it. We are in a spiritual battle. We are called to fight. That’s why we are supposed to have the whole armour of God on. We need to wear it all the time, never take it off. Then there is the ” sword of the spirit ” ” the Word of God ” . We can never defeat the enemy until we know, believe and declare God’s word. There are a few basic things that we can do. Using the name of Jesus in a commanding way is easy and very basic. Anytime that you see darkness; call out “light be” in Jesus name. What we usually do is complain about the darkness and then sometimes ask God to take care of it . When we are confronted with turmoil; we get upset and fearful. Instead Declare “Peace ( Shalom)” in the name of Jesus. We been trying the world way and it is not working. Let’s try it God’s way and see the enemy defeated.
Lord Jesus, you are the King of kings and Lord of Lord’s. As we abide in you, help us to see with our spiritual eyes and see and declare the victory that you have won. All honor, glory and power belongs to our King. Amen. Shalom2u
2Ti 3:16 KJV All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
We here this a lot when someone is trying to prove a point. That why we have to be diligent in rightly dividing the word. 2Ti 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. WE MUST BE ABLE TO SEPARATE THE OLD COVENANT FROM THE NEW. WE MUST NOT TAKE 1 VERSE OF SCRIPTURE WHILE IGNORING WHAT OTHER VERSES SAY ABOUT THAT TOPIC.
The Gospel is a gospel of grace and not works. Grace received by faith in what Jesus has done and who we are in Christ. This has to come first. Then ” in Christ ” , we become empowered to live righteously in the flesh. Too many believers are trying to live righteously in the flesh first thinking that this will make them righteous. It’s all about receiving Jesus righteousness by faith: declaring it by faith and then we start living righteously in the flesh.
Rom 7:6 KJV But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Dear Jesus we know that we can do nothing without you. Thank you for saving me, never leaving me. You are the one that gives life, gives us your righteousness so that i am empowered to live righteously.
Amen.
Heb 4:1 KJV Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Monday, September 11, 2017
WE MUST BELIEVE, HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S PROMISES TO ENTER HIS REST. IT’S NOT BY OUR WORKS OR EFFORTS, IT’S RESTING IN GOD & HE WILL DO IT.
2Co 1:20 KJV For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Believing and declaring and resting in the promises of God.
Psa 95:11 NHEB Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
Why should we fear. It’s not God’s will for us to be fearful.
2Ti 1:7 KJV For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
But if we don’t enter His rest ( believing in Him, what He has done for us, His promises) then some evil from the devil can come upon us. That is what you should be fearful of. To often we keep looking at the trials and declaring the worst instead of looking at God’s great and precious promises.
Lord Jesus. I thank you for all that you have done by your sacrifice on the cross. You are my rock, my refuge, my healer and deliverer. I focus my eyes on you and not the raging storm. I declare to the storm ” be still in the name of Jesus “. Shalom Shalom in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing it to pass. Amen.

1Pe 5:7 KJV Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
THE WORLD IS FULL OF THINGS TO FEAR AND BE WORRIED ABOUT. Joh 16:33 KJV These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.. JESUS KNOWS ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH BUT HE SAYS ” BE OF GOOD CHEER “. I WONDER HOW MANY ;” YOU MUST BE CRAZY LOOKS ” JESUS GOT AFTER SAYING THOSE WORDS. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE GOTTEN ANY. BY THIS TIME, THE APOSTLES WERE WITH JESUS A LONG TIME. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO; SPEND TIME IN JESUS PRESENTS. MEDITATE ON HIS WORDS, TO YOU. TALK TO HIM AND GIVE HIM PRAISE. THEN YOUR FAITH WILL GROW TO BELIEVE.
DEAR JESUS ! THANK YOU FOR CARING FOR ME SO MUCH THAT BY YOUR SUFFERING , I CAN RECEIVE YOUR PEACE. YOU ARE JEHOVAH SHALOM. YOU TAKE MY CARES AWAY AND GIVE ME YOUR PEACE. GLORY BE TO GOD. AMEN !

HIS Divine power: GOD’s Word, GOD’ s Holy Spirit, GOD’ s Son-Jesus Christ , the name of Jesus.
Psa 8:6 KJV Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
God’s initial plan and purpose was to make man into His image and likeness .
Gen 1:26 KJV And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
This was God’s plan but man was deceived by satan and lost his identity with God. Now God had to come up with another plan that would once again make man into His image and likeness. Jesus sacrifice on the cross is how God would reconcile man to Himself. Man had nothing to do with him being made in the image and likeness of God. His lack of faith in God was the reason that he lost his identity with God. Now God is requiring us to have faith in Him by believing in the sacrifice of His Son. That’s why we are saved by grace not works. The scripture says “His divine power ” has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. His power not our works. It goes on to say through the knowledge of Him. Again not our works but knowing all that Jesus did by His sacrifice. We only get to know Jesus by inviting Him into our heart and have a personal relationship with Him. We already know that we are sinners. Too weak to save ourselves. It’s all about knowing Jesus and how He saves us by grace though faith. A good place to start is knowing that we are righteous not by our actions but by faith. Rom 5:17 KJV For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. We believe and declare that we are righteous by faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit will quicken our body into His image. It’s a evolutionary process . Day after day believing not what we see or feel but only by faith in what Jesus has done. Remember, His divine power does it all.
Lord Jesus. I thank for bringing us back to the Father into the Kingdom of God, making us once again a child of God. Saved by grace not works; your Devine power. Glory be to God! Amen.
2Pe 1:4 NHEB by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER! AGAIN WE ARE REMINDED OF HOW ” DIVINE ” YOU ARE. EVEN WHEN WE READ YOUR WORD TO US, IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU TELL US: WE SHOULD BE PARTAKERS OF YOUR DIVINE NATURE AND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US EXCEEDINGLY GREAT PROMISES THAT ENABLES US TO BECOME LIKE YOU. YOUR DESIRE IN THE BEGINNING WAS THAT WE WOULD BE IN YOUR IMAGE AND LIKENESS. THROUGH THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS, WE ARE RESTORED BACK INTO YOUR IMAGE. THAT IS TRULY AWESOME !
DEAR JESUS! I KNOW THAT WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU. AS WE ABIDE IN YOU AND YOUR WORD; GIVE US REVELATION SO THAT WE CAN SEE, HEAR,AND DECLARE WHO WE ARE ” IN YOU “. YOU ARE THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH. WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERS IN YOU. MAY YOUR KINGDOM COME AND YOUR WILL BE DONE. GLORY BE TO GOD. AMEN!
SHALOM2U
1Jn 4:9 KJV In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
THAT WE MIGHT LIVE THROUGH HIM. THIS IS WHAT MOST CHRISTIAN ARE FAILING TO BELIEVE. WE ARE NOT TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THIS. WE ARE TAUGHT TO OBEY THE LAW. WHERE DOES JESUS. WHO CAME TO SAVE US, COME IN ? WHERE DOES FAITH AND GRACE COME IN ? IT DOESN’T ! BECAUSE WE ARE WALKING AFTER THE FLESH TRYING TO LIVE RIGHT. IT’S WALKING IN THE SPIRIT, DECLARING JESUS IN YOU, THAT EMPOWERS YOU TO LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY. MEDITATE ON THE FOLLOWING VERSES UNTIL YOU GET THE REVELATION, AS TO HOW JESUS SAVES YOU.
Phm 1:6 NHEB that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ.
Phi 2:13 KJV For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Gal 2:20 NHEB I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
Eph 2:10 WEB For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
DEAR JESUS ! HELP US HAVE EYES TO SEE, EARS TO HEAR. AND A HEART TO BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS. IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS ÷ GRACE ÷ FAITH = SHALOM/PEACE ; BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN YOU ” IN US “. GLORY BE TO GOD. AMEN. SHALOM2U
1Jn 5:14 KJV And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
” ACCORDING TO HIS WILL ” ! WE MUST KNOW GOD’S WILL TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT HE HEARS AND WILL ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. WE MUST ALSO ASK: GOD KNOWS AND HIS WILL IS FOR ALL TO BE SAVED; BUT WE MUST ASK IN ORDER TO BE SAVED. WE MUST KNOW, BELIEVE AND DECLARE HIS WILL FOR IT TO COME TO PASS. KNOWING ALL THAT JESUS DID FOR US; HELPS US TO ASK IN FAITH. THAT’S WHY WE NEED A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. 2Co 1:20 KJV For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
We must know His promises to know His will. God has many promises for us in the Old and New testament. I’m not talking about the law. The law is not a promise of God. A promise of God is like:Joh 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is the main promise of God; that He would give a Savior .
DEAR JESUS ! THANK YOU FOR REVEALING THE LOVE OF THE FATHER AND YOUR LOVE ; HIS WILL AND YOUR WILL. WE ASK AND BELIEVE THAT YOU SAVE US TOTALLY; BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT FOR THAT IS WHAT YOUR SALVATION IS ALL ABOUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHALOM/PEACE. AMEN. SHALOM2U
Deu 31:6 KJV Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. THESE WORDS WERE GIVING TO THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM BEFORE THEY WERE TO GO INTO THE ” PROMISE LAND “. THEY WERE TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE MANY OBSTACLES BUT DO NOT FEAR, GOD WOULD GO BEFORE THEM AND BE WITH THEM. TO RECEIVE ANY OF GOD’S GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES, THERE WILL BE CHALLENGES. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH AND PLEASE GOD.
DEAR JESUS ! YOUR ARE OUR SAVIOR ! YOU CAME TO GIVE US LIFE, ABOUNDED LIFE. WE WILL NOT FEAR OR BE DISCOURAGED, KNOWING THAT YOU ARE WITH US AND GO BEFORE US. THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE, JOY AND PEACE. AMEN ! SHALOM2U
Joh 14:27 KJV Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY EXCEEDINGLY GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES OF GOD. HE WANTS US TO HAVE PEACE DURING ANY STORM IN LIFE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS REQUIRES FAITH AND THAT’S THE HARD PART. IT REALLY TAKES A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN THEM. USUALLY ITS A PARENT OR A SPOUSE THAT GIVES YOU THAT MUCH CONFIDENCE. JESUS WANTS YOU TO HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE IN HIM. YOU ESTABLISH THAT CONFIDENCE BY SPENDING TIME WITH HIM. MEDITATING ON HIS LIFE GIVING WORDS HELPS US GROW IN FAITH AND LOVE FOR HIM. LEARNING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE SACRIFICED FOR US. HOW HE HAD COMPASSION THOSE WHO CAME TO HIM IN NEED. HIS POWER NOT TO HARM BUT HEAL THE SICK, RAISE THE DEAD AND SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. THE APOSTLES WERE WITH HIM ALL THIS TIME; BUT THEY STILL HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE; BUT SPENDING THE TIME IN HIS PRESENCE WILL RESULT IN GREAT REWARDS. AS STATED IN Heb 11:6 NHEB Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
DEAR JESUS ! THANK YOU FOR REVEALING YOURSELF TO ME. AS I CONTINUALLY SEEK YOU, I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL REWARD ME WITH YOUR LOVE, JOY, AND PEACE. AMEN ! SHALOM2U
Psa 78:11 WEB They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
Psalms 78:11
Thursday, September 17, 2020
We must not forget God’s wonderful deeds. When going through a trial, it’s remembering ” with God nothing is IMPOSSIBLE “. Focusing on God’s love, power, faithfulness, His promises, what the sacrifice of Jesus accomplish for us. Believe, declare and they will get us through the trial.
Dear Jesus. We look to you and not the problem. Your words declares Psa 34:19 KJV Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Thank you Jesus for being my Redeemer. Amen.
IDOLATRY:TIEING GOD’S HANDS 9/17/20
Psa 78:58 For they provoked Him { GOD } to anger with their high places, and moved HIM to jealousy with their engraved images. v59 When God heard this, He was angry and greatly adhorred Israel; V60 So that HE forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where HE dwelt among men. v61 and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
This is very hard to understand. My take on this is when we our in idolatry; God’s hands are tied. HE leaves us to ourselves since we have left Him as being our God and went after false gods. Most of the problems in the world today is a result of this. We ask ” where is God “? The fact is we left him. When we repent, He forgives and manifests His presence to us.
Dear Jesus. You are the way, the truth and the live. We exhalt you above all. You alone are the Saviour of the world Help us to always seek you for you came to give us abounded life. Amen.
Shalom2u.
Psa 90:2 KJV Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
We must always see God as God. The God who loves us, protects us, cares for us, watching over us, feeds us , blesses us. We can go on and on. Jesus put it best when He said that God is our Father. This is what we are called to believe and receive by faith. The ” just ” shall live by faith. Living by faith; knowing that God is our Father gives us peace. Thank you Jesus for revealing that God is our Father. Thank you for your peace. Amen
Psa 91:1 KJV He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Friday, August 8, 2014
” IN CHRIST JESUS ” is the secret place.
John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
John 14:23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
dwell: to make your home there, not just visit.
Heb 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
These verses explain what it means to ” abide ” in Christ Jesus. Unfortunately we just come for an occasional visit and then go about our usual business. It also talks about agreeing with Jesus. This takes meditating on the word and the help of the Holy Spirit to rightly divide the world . Remember we are in the New Covenant, the covenant of grace and not law. It is grace that helps us keep the law.
Dear Jesus. I thank you that you never leave me or forsake me. You abide in me. May i always believe and declare who I am in you. Thank you for putting me under the shadow of Almighty God where i am protected from all evil. Glory be to God Amen
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Here we see that the Psalmist is speaking to himself: ” I will say “. We can’t just keep in our hearts. For it to become fulfilled it has to be spoken. The bible is full of examples of this. Here are some examples. Mat 9:21 KJV For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Psa 23:1 KJV A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Throughout Psalm23 the Psalmist is saying, declaring who the Lord is to him .
He goes on declaring what his Good Shepherd does for him. Again in Psa 103:1 KJV A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. David is not just believing but praising and declaring all the Lord has done: forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, satisfies, renewed etc. He goes on and on. This is where we the church is coming up short. We believe but for the most part not declaring and when we do speak we’re speaking what is instead of what the Lord has done.
We believe, we declare, and then the Holy Spirit quickens: makes it become. We can’t be double minded. Faith is saying and believing the promises of God, no matter what our flesh says. These are promises of God. We must know, believe and declare them. We must be like Abraham: Rom 4:20-22 KJV 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Dear Jesus. When the storms of life come, help me to keep my heart on you and not the storm. May I continue declare what you did for me by your sacrifice. Amen Shalom2u
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
We see ” surely ” expresses faith not doubt or unbelief. One of the main reasons Jesus came is to be our deliverer. By His sacrifice on the cross, He became King of kings and Lord of lord’s. When we believe in Him, we allow Him to deliver us. The bible tells us: 1Co 1:30 KJV But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: we are given wisdom to not fall into the snares of the devil. Dear Jesus. Thank you for being all things for me. Thank you for your deliverance and wisdom to escape the devil snares. Amen Shalom2u
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Eph 6:14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The more we know the truth; all that Jesus has done for us; the more we can be strong in the Lord. We will be covered with the armor of God and equipped to defeat the enemy. Dear Jesus: In you we are protected. In you, we are more than conquerors. Glory be to God. Amen Shalom2u
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
When we focus on Jesus and His promises to us; our faith will increase and our fears will go away. It’s fighting the good fight of faith. It’s not easy to be fearless in the middle of a storm. Keep looking at Jesus and speak to the storm and it will subside. Dear Jesus : you cometh the storm for the apostles and you do for me too. Amen Shalom2u
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
A thousand fall, ten thousand fall.
Why not you?
Because we are in the secret place- IN CHRIST JESUS. Always see and declare that you are ” in Christ Jesus “. When you asked Jesus into your heart to save you: you became ” born again “. So now Jesus live in you: Gal 2:20 KJV I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. This is what “Christian faith ” is all about. Dear Jesus: I thank you that I don’t have to live on my own but you living in me. I give you all the praise, honor and glory for what you are doing in me. Thank you for your protection and care. Amen Shalom2u
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Gal 3:13 KJV Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
Psa 103:20. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Heb 1:14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
We are no longer under the curse of the law. We been redeemed. Psa 107:2 KJV Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; Again it’s believing and declaring and then the power of God will fulfill the word spoken. Here we also are told that the angels are minister spirits that harken to the word of God. They are to help us defeat the enemy and bring forth the Kingdom of God. Dear Jesus: You have defeated the enemy. You have brought the Kingdom of God down here on earth. Your will is it to be on earth as it is in heaven. I shall go forth and declare your will, your authority with the sword of the Spirit and your Kingdom will come. Glory be to God! Amen Shalom2u
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
name- Father, Daddy
Jesus: Jehovah is salvation
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Joh 17:26And I have declared unto them thy name,( FATHER) and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Psa 9:10 KJV And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
When we know who God is; He becomes more real in our lives. He’s just not God anymore but our Father, our Daddy. When He is our Daddy, we receive His love and are able to grow in love of Him. There is a lot about the ” fear” of God; but the love of God casted all fear. 1Jn 4:18 KJV There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Dear Jesus: Thank you for showing us the Father and how much He loves us. Like a Daddy, He cares for me. Thank you for making me a child of God and all the blessings that go with it. Amen Shalom2u
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.
Call: to cry out, proclaim
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
THIS IS HOW JESUS LIVED AS THE SON OF MAN. HE KNEW GOD WAS HIS FATHER AND THAT HE COULD CALL UPON HIS FATHER TO ANSWER HIM, DELIVER HIM, HONOR HIM. When we have a relationship with Jesus, we can be confident that our God will deliver us.
Dear Jesus: thank you for making me a child of God. God is my Father also. The Father sees me as He sees you.
1Jn 4:17 KJV Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. Therefore the Father will hear me when I cry and deliver me. Glory be to God. Amen Shalom2u
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
HERE WE SEE AGAIN THAT GOD WANTS TO BLESS US WITH LONG LIFE. IT’S NOT GOD’ S WILL THAT WE DIE YOUNG. YOU CAN NOT FIND IT IN THE BIBLE. Jesus says:
Joh 10:10 KJV The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. It’s the devil that is taking your fullness of life. Resist him by putting on the whole armour of God and he will flee. Believe and declare the will of God in your life. Dear Jesus: I abide in you. You are the source of life in me. You are my wisdom, righteousness, satisfaction and redemption. ( 1Co 1:30 KJV But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:). You are my source of abounded life; fullness of love, joy and peace. To God be the glory. Amen Shalom2u
Psa 95:10 KJV Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
We are told that God made us to know, love and serve Him. Knowing God has to come first and yet it is a continual process. We learn that there is only 1 God but 3 Divine persons. Knowing God is believing that He is divine.
Isa 55:9 KJV For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Here we see that His ways are far above our ways. The more we know God , the more we can see and believe. We have to get it from our natural mind into our soul. Then we can start believing in His ways. It grieves God when we don’t believe in Him. It’s like a natural father knows that his children love him but they don’t always believe in him: that he knows what is best for them. They don’t trust him to be able to help them. This is true of natural fathers, but we are taking about our heavenly Father in whom nothing is impossible. And so He is grieved when we fail to believe in Him.
Heb 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. God rewards us when we diligently seek Him. That requires a commitment. To really know and believe we must diligently seek Him and then God will reward us. Then we will be able to declare by faith the things that we need, that Jesus has already done on the cross.
Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice that allows us to become like you (
1Jn 4:17 KJV Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ) and declare your will and victory over all the powers of darkness. To God be the glory and honor and power. Amen
Psa 112:7 KJV He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
We all experience evil times. It’s only by fixing our eyes on God; what He has promised us; that we will go through the trial. Too many believers are focusing on the trial instead of God. The year 2020 brought a lot of fear into people’s life. Most were focusing on the virus instead of God’s word and His promises. Our heart must be fixed on God’s promises for us. These promises are ” in Christ Jesus “. He fulfilled these promises by His sacrifice on the cross. We have a choice, either believe in what your flesh speaks to you or what the spiritual promises of God speaks to your heart. We must be like Abraham : Rom 4:17 NHEB As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
Dear Jesus ! When we look to you, we are reminded of your great sacrifice for us. You have revealed your great love and how there is nothing that you wouldn’t do for us to give us abounding life and Peace. You said in : Psa 91:9-10 NHEB 9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling. You are our dwelling place, our refuge. You are our Peace , we shall not fear. Glory be to God ! SHALOM2U
Psa 136:1 KJV O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy : I love that word. Justice is getting what we deserve but mercy is getting what we dont deserve. This is what Jesus can to do for us. Jesus is grace. we receive His grace by faith. we must know, believe, and declare by faith all that He has done through His sacrifice. Mercy is one of those great and precious promises..
Dear Jesus ! we thank you for your good news. Your word here tells us of your great mercy. We thank you and praise you for your mercy that endures for ever. Thankk you for your love and peace. Amen
Shalom2u
Psa 138:3 KJV In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
It’s all about crying out to the Lord for help and strength. We were never meant to be righteous in our own strength but righteous because of what Jesus has done for us. We receive righteousness by faith in Jesus. Know it, believe it, declare it and the Holy Spirit will quicken ( make it come alive in your life.
Dear Jesus. 0nly you can make me righteous. I tried many times to be righteous. I tried keeping your commandments but always failed. I ask you now to come into my heart and save me. I receive your righteousness by faith in you Jesus. Thank you for giving me peace and joy because of you sacrifice. Amen
SHALOM2U
Psa 139:24 KJV And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
“Lead me in the way of everlasting “
This is why we need Jesus. We are like sheep that can easily get lost and get into trouble. When we dwell with the ” Good Shepherd ” ; He leads us, guides us, protect and feeds us “
Dear Jesus! Your are truly my Good Shepherd. I commit my life into your savings hands. Thank you for taking care of me like a Good Shepherd. Thank you for giving me love, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Pro 3:5-6 KJV 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
After I was ” born again ” at the age of 33, this scripture was impressed on my heart. I spent some time thinking about it but evidently not enough. I didn’t think that it was that difficult to do. It took me another 30 plus years , just to start understanding it. Isa 55:9 KJV For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. God’s ways are so far out, that we can not understand them. Faith, believing, trusting without understanding, goes contrary against our flesh : what we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and can believe with our brain. Common sense is common. God’s ways are far above our common sense ways. We want to be able to figure it out, but God says just believe – just trust Me. So trusting in the Lord, requires ” faith ” , ” believe “. How do we do that ? The Bible tells us : Rom 10:17 KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. This can not be just a casual hearing. It has to get from our brain down into our soul ( mind, will, emotions ). This takes meditation and communion with God to really believe. This is what please God. Heb 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Let’s take a example of this kind of faith. Psa 91:9-10 KJV 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. This is a for today and a everyday scripture ! Almost everyone is afraid of the virus. They don’t believe this scripture, so they are not trusting in God but their own understanding. It’s not easy to believe ! It takes time, abiding in ” the secret place “. , ” in Christ Jesus “. This is where you get to know Him. You learn how much He loves you, how much He suffered for you, how He wants to live in you and you living through Him. 1Jn 4:9 KJV In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Dear Jesus ! Forgive me for taking you for granted. Because of all that you have done for me, you deserve my love and time to spend with you. Help me to know you more so that I can trust you more. Thank you for your faithfulness, your love, patients, mercy, joy, and SHALOM/Peace. AMEN. SHALOM2U
Pro 10:6 NET Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence.
WHEN WE RECEIVE JESUS AS OUR SAVIOR, WE CAN DECLARE THAT WE OUR RIGHTEOUS. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT RECEIVED BY FAITH. Rom 3:22 KJV Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:. SO NOW WE CAN DECLARE THE BLESSINGS OF GOD BY FAITH. THIS IS HOW FAITH AND GRACE WORKS; ALL BY BELIEVING IN WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US.
Dear Jesus! THANK YOU FOR YOUR FREE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH IN YOU. WE DECLARE YOUR BLESSINGS OVER ALL WHO HAVE FAITH IN YOU. RAISE UP THE RIGHTEOUS. LET THEM SHINE AND GIVE YOU GLORY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. To God be the glory, in Jesus name Amen!
Shalom2u
Pro 12:7 KJV The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
The house of the righteous will stand! Isn’t that Good News. We are made righteous by faith in Jesus Christ. This is God’s grace , God’s love. Know, believe, declare that you are righteous in Christ Jesus. Then declare God’s promise that your house will stand. It won’t be destroyed by the works of the devil.
Dear Jesus! I put my trust in you. You are my Saviour. my righteousness. Thank you for blessings my house with your saving grace. We will stand because of your grace. Amen

Isa 55:1 KJV Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
God is talking about spiritual things; things. Things that can not be bought with money : spiritual things. Things that satisfies your soul. (V2)Your soul will effect your body. If your soul is down: full of fear, worry, anxiety, depressed, your body will react to it in a negative way. When we come to God ( v3 ), He will satisfy our soul.
EVERYTHING FROM GOD IS FREE ! HE FREELY GIVES US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS . WE FREELY RECEIVE BY FAITH, BUT JESUS PAID A HEAVY PRICE. THE DEVIL STOLE WHAT GOD FREELY GAVE TO MANKIND. JESUS IS NOT JUST OUR SAVIOR BUT OUR REDEEMER AS WELL. WE ARE REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. WHEN WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS PAID IT ALL ; WE ARE THEN EMPOWERED TO BUY THAT WHICH WAS TAKEN AWAY.

Isa 55:9 KJV For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
WE COULD NEVER KNOW AND UNDERSTAND YOUR WAYS WITHOUT YOU REVEALING THEM TO US. WE THANK YOU FATHER FOR OPENING OUR SPIRITUAL EYES, OUR SPIRITUAL EARS, AND OPENING OUR HEART TO BELIEVE HOW GREAT YOU ARE. SPENDING TIME WITH YOU GIVES US THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE NEED TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. DEAR JESUS! THANK YOU FOR REVEALING THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US. YOU AND OUR FATHER GAVE YOUR VERY BEST TO REDEEM US. WE DECLARE THAT WE ARE REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW ( Gal 3:13 KJV Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:). ONLY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW US ALL OUR DAYS. Psa 23:6 KJV Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. GLORY BE TO GOD AMEN! SHALOM2U
