Open your mind and heart--your entire being--to receive My love in full measure. So many of My children limp through their lives starved for Love, because they haven't learned the art of receiving. This is essentially an act of faith: believing that I love you with boundless, everlasting Love. The art of receiving is also a discipline: training your mind to trust Me, coming close to Me with confidence.
Remember that the evil one is the father of lies. Learn to recognize his deceptive intrusions into your thoughts. One of his favorite deceptions is to undermine your confidence in My unconditional Love. Fight back against these lies! Do not let them go unchallenged. Resist the devil in My Name, and he will slink away from you. Draw near to Me, and My Presence will envelop you in Love.
Ephesians 3:16-19
English Standard Version
16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Hebrews 4:14-16
English Standard Version
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
John 8:44
English Standard Version
44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
James 4:7-8
New King James Version
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

That's a lot of great scripture right there! I am so blessed to see my trust manifest in outcomes. The skin cancer specialists office called to schedule my surgery today. Next JANUARY! They said the pathology report revealed a slow growing issue and if it was worse, they would have had me come in sooner. How great is God!!! Heck, by January I expect even better news. Thank you Jesus!
DeleteGod is taking good care of you dear sister Audra. We will continue to trust in Him and come January, I am thanking Him for your good news in the Name of Jesus.
DeleteAmen to that🤗❣
DeleteThank you for the prayer Jeff. It covers us so completely! To Audra I love your faith and we are trusting God , come January let's get out praise songs ready ! Heavenly Healing begin to flow
DeleteWhat a beautiful and thoughtful prayer. This meant so much to me as I battle the enemies lies that tell me I am not good enough, will EVER be good enough for God to love me. What garbage! He loved us while we were yet sinners! His love is complete, full, all-encompassing. We NEVER have to doubt God’s AMAZING love for us! ♥️
DeleteThank you Lord for filling me with your love and the gift of discernment, which I ask you to strengthen in me by and by.

Praying for a wonderful report from you Sister Audra.
Still praying for the fires in Oregon to cease. My mom and Sis said it rained last night in Oregon, praise God. I remember a prayer that I think JJ posted at one point…
Praying with great anticipation as our God is bigger then any and all problems, bad circumstances.
Our God is the God of miracles so let’s pray to Him and rebuke Satan, lies and know that He is God taking out the enemies darts of deception in a moment. Speaking to our challenges that our God is on it and the wicked one doesn’t stand a chance.
Love you all
Prayers and blessings

ReplyDeleteAMEN,AMEN,AMEN!!! Thank you once again to the Payton family that this is available on line, though I have the book as well. Continued blessings to them!
ReplyDeleteAmen. I have several copies of Jesus Calling. My kids and I try to read it every day. Having this online blesses us to be able to read it when we forget the devotional at home.
DeleteJust what I needed to hear today! Our God Reigns!He knows what we need. His Love is Overwhelming. Praise The Lord!
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, heal the hearts in this country. Let your name reign. Please let truth, honesty, compassion and kindness be what we represent
ReplyDeleteA young priest who I was mentoring once said to me, “If we ever understand and believe how much God loves us, our life would be radically changed.” And when will I reach that sacred moment? When I stand before the Lord in eternity and everything will be radically different forever. Until that sacred day, let us love one another for love is of God. In so doing, we can help each other along the path to that glorious and eternal moment.
ReplyDeleteHow great and unmeasurable is the love of God for us.
DeleteAmen, Bob! Let us love one another and lead others to that glorious and eternal moment.
I know god loves me but why do I feel lost like he doesn't care about me is that why my life is falling apart cause I question his love for me?
ReplyDeleteNo. God's love for you never changes based on what you think or do. He loves you fully always, it's not dependent on our actions. That's unconditional--without any conditions or terms! It blows me away, I don't understand it. But I do know, as the Bible explains, that that's how God loves His children. He just asks us to abide in Him, to come to Him with all our doubts and questions and anger and fear, and just to give it all to Him. He says that He'll give us rest and peace (Phil 4:4-7, Matt 11:28).
DeleteI'm 47, grew up in a Christian home, I walked off and back many times. Always knowing there's obviously something I'm not getting if I can just walk off, right? Well, just about a year ago, I was at a retreat and given the exercise of asking the Lord, "What do you call me?" His answer to me was, "You are my Tilly." Tilly is my little Dachshund who I love with ridiculous abandon! Finally, at 46, finally I understand the fullness of the Lord's Great Love for me. He loves you like that too. I hope you can get a grasp on that. Life will never, never be the same for you once you understand that, my friend. God's love is mind-blowing!
DeleteI just love, love this post about Unknown & Tilly 🥰 God is so personal. He knows exactly how to reach the hearts of His children. Unknown wherever you are, thank you for sharing this goodness of God.
DeleteThank you Unknown! Such a lovely glimpse into the sweet love our Father has for us. To love us as we love the dearest thing in the world.
DeleteJan, Yes! it was such a sweet personal encounter. They are rare but God meets us, right in our ordinary times. While we're cooking or walking and He reminds us that He knows every tiny detail of our lives. How many times I have seen His Hand in my day and have said out loud: Thank you so much. You knew exactly what I need and how I feel! His love is without limits or conditions and it is new every morning.
He's says: Come to Me with all the baggage and flaws. I know your dear hearts intimately and love you exactly where you are and how you are.
Amen Unknown, God's love is mind-blowing!
Amen!
DeleteWell said! Very well said. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteUnknown, unknown my life has some darkness today. I am trying to look to the light as well. Please know as Anonymous said..... " God's love for you never changes based on what you think or do. He loves you fully always, it's not dependent on our actions. That's unconditional--without any conditions or terms!" God bless you!

ReplyDeleteOn my post replying to MadFox yesterday I typed envelope when it should have been envelop. Got in too much of a hurry. I need better eyes. Blessings and much love to this awesome JC FAMILY. Continuing to pray for you all and waiting on the Lord to fulfill his word!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Lord and jc family. Thank you Jesus for your mercy, your everlasting love. Thank you for never changing, always the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You never fail me. I call out to you and I feel your presence, your peace. Thank you for Jairo and for his speedy recovery. You heard all our prayers and I thank you JC warriors with my whole heart. Satan tried to bring me down but I said YES to JESUS and the evil one slinked away. All glory and praise to our Lord and Savior. AMEN! Share my heart..you are in my heart; we are lifting you up in prayer. JJ I no what u r trying 2 write and your prayers always comfort me.
ReplyDeletePraise and glory be to God! CO
DeleteGood Morning and abundant blessings to you, my JC Family! I didn't have a cooperating computer yesterday to comment, but all of you were in my prayers throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteMadFox, when I was in Sales, our Manager used to ask, "What keeps you awake at night?" He would encourage us to ask our customers that ? so we could, hopefully, take care of that for them. One night I realized that it was my job and when the time came and they downsized, I graciously accepted that decision. My Mgr. said, "You aren't fighting - you need to fight; this isn't right!" I said, "You have to have passion to fight and I no longer have passion for this job. It's draining me." that was over 7 years ago and that decision led me to the job I have now, for which I'm must better suited.
I will be praying for open doors for you MadFox. LIfting all of you Saints, your loved ones and the 2 lovely days we have before us. I pray that we learn the 'art of receiving,' and grasp, even a tiny bit, the truth of the love that we are being offered each day. I pray that we discern truth from error and call out the Father of Lies. I pray for our Country and remind my loved ones that what is happening on a federal level is the same thing happening on the local level; praying for honesty and diligence to stand for the Truth. Enjoy your day, JC Family...love and prayers to all of you. Norah
Norah. appreciated. relevant. impactful. Thanks. in Him.
DeleteAmen, Norah! Your prayer is mine.
DeletePraying for open doors for you, MadFox. God is more than able. Praise the Lord!

Please pray warriors. I have a nasty eye infection that came back after getting better, my fault. I've asked the Lord to help me. I feel stupid at the moment. Bless your weekend loved ones🥰. Let's prepare for worship tomorrow by starting today.
ReplyDeleteJAN---Thank you Father God for sending Jesus into the world to save us and set us free. Father, I trust in Your power and grace to sustain and restore us! So, Father, I ask that you would touch Jan(who is precious to us) with your healing hands. I ask that You would cover her with the most precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and I believe Jan to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit. Father, ROOT OUT any bad bacteria and any viruses from her eye and multiply Jan's healthy cells. Please remove any inflammation in her eye and clean out any infecton with the FIRE of Your healing hand. I thank You Father for this healing. And satan GET OUR HANDS OFF OF JAN! YOU have NO AUTHORITY HERE. You are a DEFEATED FOE! Thank You Father that You hear are prayers and are faithful!! Amen and Amen
DeleteEyesight is such an amazing gift, and when we have infections or "see" (in limited ways) how the blind live every minute, it is profoundly amazing to learn how well they do despite the handicap. Pray Jan that you regain normal vision asap. in Him.
DeleteThank you JJ & MadFox🥰. Wow! I feel totally covered. Bless these warriors oh Lord for blessing me! Amen
DeleteJan - My daughter took me to a quilt show in Asheville, NC. I just got this prayer request. I'm sure your eye is better, it's never too late to pray - so I'm "gonna" pray anyway!!!!! And Amen to preparing for worship today!!
DeleteFirst things first, I am so "Very Grateful" for your blog! Thank You!
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I am in desperate need of prayer, would you please pray that the Heavenly Father's Will be done in my life in regards to what He is asking me to do (each and every day), the situation is dire and I need a miracle. I can't thank you enough for your prayers, I've been trying to do this on my own but I know that I need the support and prayers of other believers to help me through this as God does not want me to try & do it alone but to call on my brothers and sisters in Christ(as this is a serious battle/fight, as the enemy comes to rob, steal, kill & destroy) would you please come along side me in prayer and in agreement for "Our Heavenly Father's Will" to be done in my life.
I Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, to the very depths of my soul. Praying that Gods Will be done in each of your lives and may The Good Lord Bless you and keep you & make His face to shine upon you and give you peace and may you personally know how deep and how wide and how high is His All consuming never ending reckless love for you all!
Without a doubt His love for you is beyond your wildest dreams or imagination! If you have not personally witnessed His radical and passionate reckless love for you, call upon Him and ask Him to reveal His overwhelming never ending all consuming passionate reckless and jealous love for you, He's just waiting for you to ask.♥
In Jesus' Most Precious and Beautiful Name I pray, Amen!
With Sincere Love & Respect

Dear Audra ---- I am so humbled by your post. I have learned to go to The Throne of Grace with the authority My Papa God gave me. When Christ died for for our sins,
DeleteAudra ----Sorry, must of hit a wrong button. To finish the thought. Satan was disarmed and defeated! We TAKE OUR SEAT OF AUTHORITY by Ephesians 2:4-7!!! And now we rule and reign in Christ Jesus through
DeleteChrist Jesus. So, we can now proclaim Jesus Christ is the name above all names! We put everything of the kingdom of darkness under our feet because it is undet the feet of King Jesus. That is why I enforce the Authority of Jesus Christ over everything in my life today. And I do it boldly because my God has my back and He expects me to act and pray with the AUTHORITY He gave me!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
Great Love and Blessings to cover you and your family!!! Praise God, you were acting and praying with AUTHORITY!!! Do know that is is satan's greatest fear! Make him shudder in fear when He raises his ugly, lying, looser head!!! JJ

THOUGHTS ON INTIMACY WITH OUR LORD
ReplyDeleteLast Saturday's post examined the thoughts of Psalm 95:8-9, to listen and not to harden our hearts which comes through doubt and lack of willingness to trust. The closing words in that passage need our attention. (Following the reference to what occurred at Meribah and Massah (Exodus 17)) vs. 9 says, "when your ancestors tested Me, and put Me to the proof, though they had seen My work." How sad. After the exodus from Egypt and the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, doubts of God's ability to save them in the crisis they found themselves. One senses a mentality of 'what have you done for me lately'.
We must be cautious about being too harsh on the response of the children of God for their story of faith has many parallels to our story. The whole wilderness wondering exemplifies the journey of faith. They are us and we can see ourselves in their story. What we learn from these verses is that it is imperative to be constantly reminded of God's greatness and faithfulness. This comes through the constant practice of praise of God's greatness and thankfulness for the ways God has saved us in the past. That is one of the reasons God commands us to worship Him on a regular basis, to be reminded of His goodness, His eternal steadfast love, and His faithfulness from age to age as Psalm 100:5 concludes. That is why daily devotions are so important so we are reminded on a daily basis of the security we have in God's love. If we allow ourselves to wander from these practices and affirmations of His being the Good Shepherd, we become totally vulnerable to the demonic elements lurking in this world ever looking for a wandering sheep to feast upon. When Jesus instituted the sacrament of Communion/Eucharist, His concluding words were 'do this in remembrance of Me'. Remember, Remember, Remember! In whatever way works best for you, remember and never forget that He who gave up His only Son for you will take care of you in every other way. Scan your past for the many times you experienced His everlasting love and faithfulness. Give thanks. Paul admonishes us in Philippians 4:6, to pray with thanksgiving. What is implied in those words is that we pray for our present needs with thanksgiving for how He has met our needs in the past.
Yes, it was a sad day at Meribah and Massah. Let us encourage each other so it is not repeated.
As your week begins, may this week be filled with your being confident in His goodness, His everlasting love, and His constant faithfulness. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, you are eternally loved. God be with you. With love, Bob
Amen Bob. I thank God that you and our entire JC Family are continual reminders of God's greatness and faithfulness! Please keep blessing all of us.
DeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
You're the reason why I loudly and proudly sing:
Great Is Thy Faithfulness;
The Goodness of God;
Bless The Lord O My Soul;
My Tribute(To God Be The Glory)
and everything else! With Love.
It is indeed a journey of faith. We read of the exodus and fall into the trap of asking all the how questions... how could they forget the Red Sea parting, how could they forget manna arrived each morning, how could they forget Pharaoh's plagues... it becomes our faith journey too! why do I not trust the Lord has my hand in this relatively minor trouble of today!? The flesh and mind are weak. Only through Christ and prayer can we get to our Father's eternal and unending love! Believe it. Amen.
DeleteThat's an amazing encouragement, Bob. Thanks for the energy you put into encouraging us
DeleteGod has got me through so many situations in the past and transformed them into good as He did for Joseph and his family.
My challenge now is to remember these things in the situation with my daughter. That God can enable her to conquer the alcohol problem. And more than that.. Use it to bring good to her and her family.
God bless this community
Thank you brother Bob for this reminder. I can so easily slip into complacency when things are going well. Starting my day worshipping & thanking Him helps to prevent this from taking over & reminders from brothers & sisters in Christ. May your week be filled also with the goodness of God, for you are eternally loved as well🥰

Bob! Thank you so much for your inspiration and encouragement. Every morning as I wake thanking Him for the new day and all that he has blessed me with, and all the things He is preparing for me, I am wrapped in a love and blessed assurance that is far greater than anything this world can offer. Enveloped in a peace that no one and no thing can give me. I have been reminding myself all through the day that He is with me and I am in His presence. Praising His Holy Name and realizing how loved I am.
DeleteGod bless your beautiful heart and Spirit.
Amen, Bob! A beautiful reminder to always remember ALL that He has done for me, ALL the times he has gently carried me through the many storms in my life. My blessings are not few, and I thank and Praise the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness. My cup surely runneth over. God be with you.

Thanks for the blessing!
Thanks for yet another one of your game changing prayers, Maplewood NJ

ReplyDeleteMay it so be for you and me, Mark. God be with you.
DeleteBlessings inspire us today, JC family! And today's verse seems particularly relevant to TODAY as we turn up the volume and intensity of our prayers in the name of Jesus!
ReplyDelete"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." AMEN!
See you near the throne of grace, Audra. God be with you.
DeleteAmen! Have a blessed and safe day in His presence, my dear sister and brother and all our JC Family.
DeleteAmen, sweet Audra! Turning up the volume and intensity of my prayers! God is good and worthy of all praise.
DeleteBlessings from California
Teaching to turn up the volume control again this year. Louder and louder I can hear his praises roar!

DeleteRose- I'm sitting waiting to see endodontist & read your beautiful post. Loving the words. Letting it sink into my spirit. I don't like dentists visits. But then again, who does huh? Well here goes😔!
ReplyDeleteSo agree with you, Rose, that song so beautiful sings of God's love for us. I have used it in that way many times. Another song that captures the same sense is "You Needed Me" by Anne Murray. Though whole song sings of what God has done for us, especially the line, 'I sold my soul, You bought it back again.' that is what redemption is all about. And why did God do all this? He needed us. Do we not need everyone we love in our life? He saved us because He needed us. It goes without saying how much we need Him. And He has us and we have Him. Hallelujah!!!
ReplyDeleteLate Blessings, my dear JC Family, but none the less heart-felt! What a weekend we had. All good, all filled with so many blessings. The wedding was so sweet and so safely done. We were able to be outside and social distance, yet it felt intimate and close. The mother/son dance is still bringing me to tears. I'll share the song with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0JNlCaihnc
ReplyDeleteHere are the lyrics:
Teach us to number our days
That we may apply our hearts to Your ways
Teach us to number our days
With wisdom and grace.
You've been our home and our dwelling
Our place in all generations.
Before the earth or the mountains were formed,
Lord, You were God.
Teach us to number our days
That we may apply our hearts to Your ways
Teach us to number our days
With wisdom and grace.
Now the span of our lives,
It is made of sorrow and labor
As the days pass away like the grass
How soon we are gone.
Teach us to number our days
That we may apply our hearts to Your ways
Teach us to number our days…

Just love that song dear Norah! I sent the link to my Mom and Sis. They will love it too. Thanks!!!
DeleteThank you for the link to the song!
DeleteBe blessed our dear Norah, ss you have blessed us with these lyrics.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Bob, THANKS FOR REMINDING ME HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS SONG!
ReplyDeleteReminiscing with renewed eyes!
I cried a tear, You wiped it dry
I was confused, You cleared my mind
I sold my soul, You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow You needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see Eternity
You needed me, You needed me
And I can't believe it's You
I can't believe it's true
I needed You and You were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found Someone Who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost You took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see Eternity
You needed me, You needed me
You needed me, You needed me!
Man it's easy to get mislead without christ
ReplyDeleteDear Rose, Your words lifted me and I've always loved that song! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJan, Praying everything went well with your dentist appointment. Hope your problem was just because of a bad bite that can be altered easily.
Bob, I forgot about that beautiful song, You Needed Me. It is a perfect description about God's love and His need for us to Come to Him. Thank you!! Amen He saved us becuse He needed us. And what a Sacrifice to save us. Halleluia!
So happy the Wedding was wonderful and safe. Keep those precious memories in your heart forever. I remember all 3 mother/son dances so very well. What a sweet, simple, truthful and beautiful song and prayer! Thanks for sharing it sweet Norah! You lifted me and put more light and peace into my day. God bless you always.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your prayers for Jack and for Terry. Jack is doing a little better but has some problems with his blood. He's going to the doctor soon. Terry's surgery went well. The Dr. told her it went as he had hoped it would. She will be in the hospital for at least 4 days. Praying she will turn her eyes to the Lord for comfort and healing. We are praying He will bring them both back to perfect health because He is the miracle maker and all things are possible in Him and through Him. Loved today's devotion and beautiful verses. Took this with me.
ReplyDeleteDraw near to Me, and My Presence will envelop you in Love.
I always say: Draw near to Him and He will stay near to you. He never leaves us. We leave Him. He is always waiting for us to run into His Arms.
Continued prayers for Jack and Terry. May they continue to heal and be restored whole again. May the Lord draw them to Him and into His loving, everlasting arms. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. God bless!
DeleteContinued prayers for Jack & Terry. Your healing touch oh Lord is sorely needed. Praise & Thank You Jehovah Rapha. Amen.
DeleteThank you for your sincere prayers! Amen Janet and Jan.
DeleteWe serve a faithful God. God bless you both.
Joining in prayers for recovery and healing for these special people in your life, Jeanne. God is so good, all will be well.
DeleteBeloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8). For if our hearts condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. (1 John 3:20-22). Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24).
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for Your everlasting love that You pour out abundantly to all of us. You are so loving, merciful, and gracious. Thank You for being You. I am grateful for all the people that You are placing in my life and surrounding me with. Open my heart and mind to receive all that You have for me. Hold my hand and walk with me through the day, rejoicing over You and being led by the Holy Spirit. Let Your Spirit flow in and through me and help me to share You with others in the world. Thank You Jesus. I praise You Lord always. You are my saving grace. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
Praying with you and for you sweet Janet! Your words echo my heart. Thank you for your spirit filled words.
DeleteYour prayer is my prayer also dear Janet. Thank you for blessing us with your heart towards God. Bless you also sweet sister💕
ReplyDeleteSo funny warriors that a year ago to this day, your prayers went up for me for my tooth. Now once again I'm asking for prayers for a dentist procedure tomorrow. Not what I'm looking forward to but nevertheless, here I go again! Jeanne, loved listening to your sweet voice, love the song you wrote, we can relate. Love the guitar playing, was that you too? God has gifted you richly, thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeletePraying for your successful and smooth dentist procedure tomorrow. God will be in that room in full control of the dentist and the procedure. Thank You Father for Your faithfulness in the Name of Christ Jesus, the Risen Lord. Amen
ReplyDeleteDear Jan, Thank you for your kind words. No, the musicians who backed me up on my song were my very talented friends. I can play guitar but just enough to play the chords so I can write music and sing with it. God gave me what I need and for that I'm grateful. With God's help, I taught myself how to play just before I started playing in the Nursing Home around 18 years ago. Right now they don't want anyone coming in to volunteer because of Covid. I understand. They remain in my prayers.
Have a blessed new day dear sister and all our JC Family. We will pray for each other. Much love.
I miss you MadFox and Bob. Praying you are doing well in all things.
♥️🎶

Thank you for sending the lyrics, sweet Jeanne!! LOVE THAT SONG and even more hearing you sing it.
ReplyDeleteJanet, your prayer calmed me down from a restless night! I had a bad dream and it surprised me because I went to bed blessed and peaceful - I thought! I ate too late and it woke me up - silly girl. But reading the lyrics to Jeanne's song and reading all of your prayers (praying for you Dear Jan...) helped me over the hump.
Claiming God's promises in all areas of our lives. Praying for my sister as she says good bye to her best friend in Hospice. She is a Believer and knows her future. That brings all of her loved ones great Peace. Praying for my dear friend, Jayne, to be rid of all symptoms and turn the corner; get her energy back. And, for a family who lost their Dad. He'd been sick a long time and went to sleep on 9/24. I received calls last night from people grieving. Praying for each of them and his family.
"Remember that the evil one is the father of lies. Learn to recognize his deceptive intrusions into your thoughts. One of his favorite deceptions is to undermine your confidence in My unconditional Love. Fight back against these lies! Do not let them go unchallenged. Resist the devil in My Name, and he will slink away from you. Draw near to Me, and My Presence will envelop you in Love." I must hold every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Shining up that suit of armor, Maplewood and thanking God for ordering my steps in His Word.
I miss you too, MadFox and Bob!
So thankful that the sun is shining. God Bless, JC Family - you are ALL in my prayers.
Dear Norah, Thank you for your prayers and sweet words. Praying for your sister's friend to be called out of her misery and taken Home by the loving Arms of the Lord. May He give your sister peace as she spends precious time with her friend. We've all been there. When we lose best friends, we truly lose a piece of ourselves. Praying for Jayne to be healed completely, and for God's comfort to rain down on the family who lost their Dad. Our Merciful God freed him from his misery.
ReplyDeleteJust had my Bible group and need prayers for Margaret who is getting back surgery tomorrow and Danuta's Uncle Joe who is also getting back surgery tomorrow. Thank You Father for answering all our prayers and guiding their surgeries perfectly and bringing them back to renewed health and full movement. Thank You Jesus!!!
Shining up that armor and drawing near to Him. God bless you all my dear Family. You're in my heart and my prayers.
Audra, I saw your post late afternoon yesterday: Audra September 27, 2022 at 9:52 AM
ReplyDeleteAnd this year, not a one! We had a cold snap that killed the blossoms last spring. In a community where in previous years there has been an abundance of fruit (plums, peaches, apples, cherries) this year we see none. I look for the analogy but come up empty. Back to trust and faith, things I do have control over 😉 Thank you Jesus, for circumstances.
Brie September 27, 2022 at 12:36 PM
Our Dear Audra,
Thanks for sharing your plum of a journey, year over year.
Today's devotion says, Look to Me and My sufficiency; rejoice in My radiant riches that are abundantly available to help you...Memories of these days are richly interwoven with golden strands of My intimate Presence...
And, Thank you for reminding me of my Mom's reminder. She was a firm believer and included WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE in her daily devotions.
Here is one of the readings she shared with me:
THANKING GOD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS ON YOU!
A stranger was passing through a small town in the fruit growing section of the country. The folks were having a picnic, singing, dancing, and celebrating to the music of an old fashioned harmonium (It's Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom Time, perhaps?) Stopping before a gray haired country woman, the stranger said, What on earth are you celebrating lady?
The old lady answered, You must be a stranger, the old lady answered; we are celebrating Apple Blossom Day!
The stranger looked around, and saw that all the apple trees were bare, and said, But where are the apple blossoms?
The old lady replied with a sigh, They all froze last week; they froze for miles and miles around.
The stranger asked, Then what on earth do you have to celebrate and be so thankful about?
The old lady stood up straight and tall and said, It would take more than frost kill to stop us from celebrating, because thanks be to God, we had a Mighty Good apple harvest last year, and God helping, there will be more apple blossoms next spring, so we are celebrating God and thanking Him in advance!
Ephesians 5: Giving thanks always for all things unto God!
Dear Heavenly Father God, Would You help us be thankful for all our blessings? And may we be doubly thankful for the privilege of praying to You, for the gift of Your Infinite Everpresence, for Your Being forever with us, watching over us and each of our dear ones, and directing our steps toward greater contentment and joy in Your Word? In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Thanks Mom, Gone from my sight, yet always remembered in my heart.
What a sweet story Brie. Thank you for sharing it with us. We must be expectant of the goodness of God at all times. Even for our fruit trees! 🤗😍
DeleteI absolutely LOVED reading this Dear Brie! So very thankful that you and your Mom had such a sweet relationship and as Jeanne said that you know you will see her again and be together for Eternity!
DeleteYou filled my empty cup with the truth in your story. Thanks Brie, and to your mom ♥️
DeleteLoved your Mom's reading she shared with you. Even when we don't receive what we pray for, we have reason to be thankful and to rejoice because we remember God's past acts of faithfulness to us and our loved ones and we look forward to more victories to celebrate. God bless your dear Mom up in Heaven. You will be with her again. We have so much to be thankful for, and just waking up the light of a brand new day is enough to praise Him and walk in gratitude.
ReplyDeleteLet's stay close to the Lord so He will always stay close to us. He's only a prayer away. Thank You Jesus! Looking forward to all the blessings and answered prayers to come, and thanking You for all the past blessings you've given us and all the prayers you have granted. I believe the Best is yet to come! Hallelujah!
Praying with you, our dear Jeanne!
Delete🙏💗 Amen dear Brie. We know where our help cometh from.
DeleteYes, ma'am - we DO! :)
DeleteThank you for your prayers for my shoulder regenerative therapy. A series of shots of prolotherapy and tenotomy have me on my way to a plan to reduce shoulder injury and pain. Thanking God for intervention to accelerate my own body's recovery and the expertise of my doctor and staff. In Jesus's name I trust and pray.
ReplyDeleteAlso praying for the redemption of our friend Rick who has passed after a long time of bitterness and challenges in a battle with cancer and self and for his loyal and lovely wife and caregivers. May they ALL now know the peace of our Lord and rest in it. ,♥️🙏✝️
It saddens me to read about a cancer patient being in bitterness, yet it is easy to do so. The challenges of the Healthcare industry in general, billing and financial issues, and the unfairness often seen in the speed of the disease. Yesterday, a MM buddy in our support group, died from an infection, which sadly is often the issue due to low WBC and being immunocompromised. May our MM friend's and Rick's family feel the peace of His love and know that their loved ones are now in the light of our Lord with spiritual incorruptible new bodies. In Him, Amen
DeleteJoining you dear sister in thanking God for successful treatments for your shoulder. Thank You Jesus! Praying for Rick's family. Touch each one Lord with peace & comfort. Amen🙏💞
DeleteJoining the prayer train. Praying dear Audra that your therapy will increase your range of motion, strength and function, and that God will guide you to perfect health and comfort. Continuing to pray for Rick’s healing and now for God’s help in restoring his faith, his heart and his relationships with his dear ones to love, peace and acceptance. Thank You Jesus.
DeletePrayers for you, Dear Audra and that healing shoulder! I'm also praying for Rick's redemption (who knows what is in a man's heart? I pray he accepted Christ) and his family.
DeleteMadFox - you know, only too well, that we know of the experiences you wrote about. I am praying for you (along with my Best Man) and that your love and joy for God and Christ Jesus, our Lord, reigns supreme for both you and the people you encounter.
Good morning JC Warriors. What a wonderful blog this is. I do enjoy reading it daily. I do not consider very eloquent when it comes to prayer, so I love reading prayers written here and adopting them for myself. This community of prayer Warriors has been such a blessing to me. Thank you Peyton Family.
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, I pray that you protect your children as Hurricane Ian approaches Florida. I know that many in this
Blog have connections to areas Ian will impact.

DeleteDear Heavenly Father,
DeleteI join with my prayers for the safety of those in Florida and the east coast as the hurricane whirls overhead. May they rest easy in your arms knowing your everlasting love. ANEN
Joining in your prayer, dear SC. Amen. Praying that God’s protection will cover all those in the path of the storm, guide them safely in their travels, and provide all their needs. Thank You Father for this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
DeletePraying with each of you: for our Cousin Sherry in FL and all of the people we know and love there...keep them safely tucked in Your protective arms, please, Father. We are praying that Hurricane Ian dissipates.
DeleteAmen

DeleteMaybe 25 years ago I attended a series of Bible studies by video led by Bob Mumford on The Agape Road: Journey to Intimacy with the Father, a Bible study on The Father Heart of God.
ReplyDeleteI still have strong impressions of that time. The Love of God was so strong in Bob, you could see it in his eyes, feel it emanating from him in waves.
He too said that the father of lies will do anything to stop us from knowing, from living in Father God's unconditional love. The enemy will hook us if he can and lead us away in any other direction BUT to the Father's Heart. The studies made a deep impact on my life. Father God loves us without any conditions; no 'if this' or 'but that'.
Some think of themselves at the very least as 'tainted', a few think they're so rotten it's impossible for God to love them. Such precious folk have been hooked up by the lies of the enemy of our souls.
God DOES love us without conditions, His very nature is Love and God does not, cannot change. Nothing we can do or say or think will stop Him loving us unconditionally. As Sarah Young wrote, "
Open your mind and heart-your entire being-to receive My love in full measure. So many of My children limp through their lives starved for Love, because they haven't learned the art of receiving. This is essentially an act of faith: believing that I love you with boundless, everlasting Love."
Believe it, it's true He loves you unconditionally, no matter what.
Wonderful Peter!!! Amen!
DeleteThank you for sharing that blessed truth. The devil is a liar but God is so much Greater and there is no darkness in Him. His Words are truth, light and life. We are all perfectly loved in our imperfections and worthy to be sons and daughters of the Most High. Hallelujah
Thank You God, for Peter's reminder to us of Your Love, and putting this song in my mouth: NO MATTER WHAT by Ryan Stevenson
Deletehttps://youtu.be/DKC765GvFTs
Amen, amen & amen!
ReplyDeletePlease pray for my sister Janet who recently got a tooth pulled and now she may have a dry socket. Her dentist wants to put her on antibiotics. She has a terrible headache and her blood pressure has skyrocketed. Antibiotics will just raise her blood pressure. God will make a way. Trusting in His faithfulness and leaning on His promises. Thank You Jesus 🙏
ReplyDeletePraying for your sister, Janet.
DeletePraying for Janet, Jeanne! I loved what you shared, Peter. I woke up early this morning to pray with a friend. My heart was unsettled over my Best Man's Cardiac tests tomorrow. A thousand "WHAT IFS" taunted me. After my friend prayed for me and I for her, and I had read this morning's Jesus Calling, I crawled back in bed and held my hubby's hand as he slept. The calmness helped me to relax and I fell back to sleep for over an hour. When I woke up, he was awake too and I told him, "This time tomorrow your tests will be complete. Maybe we can go out for breakfast!" We laughed, hugged and then the phone(s) started ringing: work, Cardiology Nurse, BUSY-NESS! Yet, my heart is still calm and blessed.
ReplyDeleteI thank each of you for your prayers - to get us through this day in a peaceful, happy way. For an early bedtime and sleep coming easily. We have to be up at 4:30 AM and I want to be my best for my Best Man. Claiming VICTORY and also humming, one of my favorite songs. "I Know Who Holds My Hand." I've included a lovely rendition of this song. I hope you enjoy and it remind me later tonight or first thing in the morning to keep this song in my heart and head! (smile).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OhTJ4yuq4Y
Love and Blessings, precious JC Family!
Keep claiming Victory and humming I Know Who Holds My Hand. Thanking Him for all to go well with your Best Man's Cardiac tests, and before you know it you'll be enjoying a nice breakfast together with peaceful hearts because our Great God is guiding it all and really cares about you and your Best Man. Thanking God for His continued faithfulness. Exercise those trust muscles, dear sister.
DeleteGod's got this, and you and your DH, Norah!
ReplyDeleteI have been to The Throne of Grace Interceding for the needs of my Beloved JCFAMILY. The needs are many, many, many, but NONE are too hard for my Papa God's intervention! Also, in Jesus's name , I pray right now, that my JCFAMILY will feel so loved! Any self-hatred or self-loathing or rejecting of themselves will be CHASED RIGHT OUT OF THEIR LIVES by the wonderful Love and Acceptance, Papa God, you are pouring out upon them right now! Let them see themselves as You see them. Let them accept themselves and truly love themselves. Thank you Jesus. In You presence, You make ALL Things Whole! I Pray and Believe, AMEN and AMEN.
ReplyDeleteEphesians 36: 26-28 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people and I will be your God." HALLELUJAH!!!

ReplyDeleteYour prayers are my prayers, Janet. Always so eloquent in your thoughts and prayers... thank you!
DeleteBeautiful and heartfelt prayer dear Janet. Amen and Amen.
DeleteDear friends, I have tried to post an update before and don’t think it worked. I am so happy to report that 2 weeks post open heart surgery, my husband is getting better each day, his incision is healing well, he can walk a little further each day, and we have hope! It is a joyful God given thing to ask God and receive His blessings. Thanks to all of you for your prayers. He is still having trouble sleeping, sometimes getting only an hour and a half each night, so this is still a prayer request. We have tried sound noise, eye masks, dim evening lights, but his body is still revved up from 8 days in the hospital. Thanks for your prayers for healing sleep. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN
ReplyDeleteSuch great news, Ellen! Thanks for sharing. Praying for him to heal, get stronger and get more rest each day... baby steps. Prayers for you as his caretaker and love of his life. God bless you.
DeleteHas he tried Trazodone? Doctor prescribed, non habit-forming.
DeleteGreat news, Ellen! Praying CALM and PEACE over you sleep time.
DeleteAsking Him for protection for you, Jeanne as you travel to see your good mom. Prayers for you both as you enjoy each other and please give your good mom a hug from all of us.
ReplyDeleteGood morning my fellow prayer warriors. Asking again for prayers for little Westin who is 7 weeks old as of yesterday. He is having issues with reflux and isn't keeping much food down. It looks like Jon and I will fly to Johnson City, TN and drive Makenna and Westin back here to Houston so we can get Westin into Texas Children's Hospital in the Medical Center. Our little nugget has had a rough start in life.
ReplyDeletePraying for sweet baby Westin, that our Father would heal his tiny body. May God's peace cover you all during this time and grant safe travels.
DeletePraying for Westin as the source of his issues get healed. ♥️
DeleteJoining in all prayers that God will resolve little Westin’s reflux problem and all of his health issues and bring him back to perfect health and give Suzanne and Jon and Makenna and Westin traveling mercies and peace of mind. Thank You Father for answering our prayers in the Name of Christ Jesus. Amen.

Joining in prayer for Peter, (rest from racing thoughts)Jeanne, for travel & seeing better moods for mom, Ellen, hallelujah for good recovery for hubby & for sleep to get back into rhythm, Norah, great news for hubby, Suzanne, praying for safe travels & for Westin to begin to develope a great digestive system. Will update everyone as to bone density results, hubby's progress. Love you all & blessings to knock your socks today💕🙏🌈
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Jan! Your prayers mean a lot. Praying your bone density test results will be another victory report and that your good husband is doing well without his blood thinners and that God will guide his oral surgery to be successful and his recovery to be smooth. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteThank you Jan! I can see my toes 😉
