Do not be discouraged by the difficulty of keeping your focus on Me. I know that your heart's desire is to be aware of My Presence continually. This is a lofty goal; you aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life. Don't let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as I see you. First of all, I am delighted by your deep desire to walk closely with Me through your life. I am pleased each time you initiate communication with Me. In addition, I notice the progress you have made since you first resolved to live in My Presence.
When you realize that your mind has wandered away from Me, don't be alarmed or surprised. You live in a world that has been rigged to distract you. Each time you plow your way through the massive distractions to communicate with Me, you achieve a victory. Rejoice in these tiny triumphs, and they will increasingly light up your days.
Romans 8:33-34
English Standard Version
33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
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.
My Prayer
Father, the world trains me to not focus on You. How I need your love forever. Help me to begin each day with you, so my perspective for the day begins on You. And then throughout the day help me to surrender to you and make wise choices.

On this day (November 1), the Church historically has set aside the day to remember all those who lived this life in faith and now live eternally with our Lord. Though I grew up under the influence of Protestantism, I have come to appreciate and befriend through the reading of their writings those great heroes of the faith some of whom have been canonized in Catholicism. What I have discovered in these new found friends was a wonderful example of love of our Lord and that they went through the same process in their journey of faith spoken of in today’s thought above. Now they are the great cloud of witnesses, whether canonized or not, spoken of in Hebrews 12 who are cheering me on in my own journey of faith. As an athlete’s spirit to excell can be lifted by the cheers of the crowd, let the encouragement (which I have come to believe are their prayers for my faithfulness) of the Saints or saints lift our spirits as we complete the journey of life. Of course, the loudest cheers (prayers) are coming from Jesus, our Lord.
ReplyDeleteAmen. What a beautiful reminder of the truth. Thank you
DeleteAmen! I truly believe we have some saints amongst JC family, such amazing examples by the grace of God..thank you Jesus
DeleteAmen trust in Jesus God is so amazing
DeleteAmen, brother Bob. I'm preparing to attend socially distanced and masked mass today to celebrate All Saints Day in the company of my family. God bless you and our JC family.
DeleteBlessings from California
Amen. God asks us to live as His saints and be great witnesses to others and live our faith to His glory.
DeleteI feel appreciative and connected to your comments Bob. I spoke to a friend who is also Catholic (. Me Methodist) and he’s invited me who in turn invited others to nov 2 mass which apparently is also related to saints day. Only thru god are the four of us assembling. Work colleagues who now are bonded by Jesus Really looking forward.
DeleteI grew up in a non denomination church. I didn't have knowledge of the differences. I don't know how we all came together as a group, but I believe the people were from all different kinds. We just came together as members of the body of Christ. All a mysterious work of our creator. It is not the norm for most religious people. As a young adult I stepped out and tried my own ways, without God. I did some serious damage, but I have repented and returned to my faith in the Lord. He is building me back up. I've been attending a Babtist church. The Lord is our Shepherd, his sheep hear his voice. We are his flock. Even as we come from different lands. He loves us and corrects us when we go astray. He leads us back to the still waters, and restores our souls. We may have scars, but they remind us of our rebellion. The new life is redemption. His grace is sufficient. Praise the Lord for his mercy and for dying on the cross to save us.
DeleteOn November 1st the Catholic Church celebrates all her holy ones in heaven, known and unknown, with the feast of All Saints. The solemnity originally began in the 4th century to commemorate all the Christian martyrs killed during those centuries of brutal persecution before Christianity was legalized. There were so many martyrs that a separate feast day could not be given to each one individually, yet, the Church did not want to leave any martyr without proper veneration. A common feast day developed and was usually celebrated in the Easter season. In the 8th century Pope Gregory III consecrated a chapel in St. Peter’s Basilica to all the saints and moved the feast day to November 1st.
DeleteThe life of the saints teach us how to live loving God.
Amen and Thank you for your prayer
I have always been intrigued by learning about the saints. To me they are family. Ones to look to for encouragement in my walk of faith. So I love this day, ALL SAINTS DAY. In celebration and gratitude we start this month of November with a clean slate and the reminder that He is with us. Do you have a favorite saint? I'm a little partial to Anthony, the patron saint of lost things 😉♥️🙏
DeleteThere's so much to learn and it seems we only get to scratch the surface.
DeleteWe learn something new everyday ! I have never heard of Saints day and I am grateful to know there is a cheering squad urging me !
DeleteI have heard those who are cheering us on referred to as our balcony people!
DeleteA beautiful reminder ✨️ my family and I are actually in Mexico now experiencing the beauty of the celebration of remembering loved ones passed in los Dias de los Muertos. It reminds me to enjoy every moment, remember our fragility, and love deeper. God Bless you all
DeleteAmen! Such beautiful prayers.
DeleteGod bless you all
Prayers and blessings
Love,

Thank you for being pleased with my efforts to stay focused on you! It can be so challenging in the shadows of life. Thank you for pointing me to the light!
ReplyDeleteSatan is persisitant, alive and well! Stay on guard! HOWEVER, GOD , YOU are RELENTLESS in protecting me, YOU are beyond "alive" but ETERNAL, and so much BETTER than "well". Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Amen!
We are ALL called to sainthood! Live life that way!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly agree! As you believe you are so will you be.
DeleteDistraction is a big challenge. Amen. Great prayer by Payton family
DeleteAmen! I love this reminder Bob. As you believe you are, so will you be.
DeleteAmen 🤗❤️🙏
The perfect reading ! I was just thinking of how “I failed again” because I have such a difficult time being distracted with things to be done. Each morning I pray to be reminded to thank Him throughout the day.....and then forget again. The spirit is willing..... Today Jesus, let me be a little more like you!
ReplyDeleteAmen! Certainly something that I struggle with. Come, Jesus.
DeleteWe all get distracted by the world’s empty promises and trappings. But God is asking us to set our eyes high above all that we can see and seek those things that endure. I often turn the tv off when I feel it is separating me from the love of God. But I must admit I am a Hallmark movie junkie.
DeleteWow. The lord is sooo gracious. I find when Keep eyes on him, the secular struggles seem not so big. Amen. Lord give me what Paul told Timothy. The Holy Spirit provides you Love power and self discipline.
DeleteGod please help my family
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father please help me through this day AMEN!!!
ReplyDeleteJDoc Glasgow
Thank You Lord for crossing me and my family (and my JC family) over to a new month, not by our power, but that of Your Sovereignty. Together we give praises and adoration to You Almighty God. May Your grace, peace, protection and favor locate us continually in the remaining 61 days of this year, in Jesus name. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteWe all struggle wirh keeping our minds on the Lord. The distractions of this world can become overwhelming. This devotion reminds me of Joyce Meyers' book, 'THE BATTLEFIELD of THE MIND'. This can even occur when you are praying, reading your bible, meditating etc.., you strive, get frustrated, but God sees your efforts and promises VICTORY when we plow our way through the traffic of life's distractions and back into the awareness of His Presence. So REJOICE!
If you see the Moon, you see the Beauty of God, If you see the Sun, You see the power of God and If you see the Mirror,
You see the Best Creation of GOD. So, believe in Yourself.
We all are Tourists & God is our Travel Agent who has already booked all our Routes, Reservations and Destinations! Trust him and enjoy the 'Trip' called LIFE because it will never come Again! Live Today in His Presence and win The Battle of Your Mind!
Happy and Blessed November. May our Harvest be plentiful to share with our brethrens, giving thanks to God, in Jesus name!
Maplewood NJ
God be praised Maplewood, you are right on! Be thankful for the journey, our tickets ARE booked 🤗! Let's indeed enjoy the ride! Blessings on you, sisters & family 🥰
DeleteAll my bags are packed. I'm ready to go...
DeleteLast night, DH and I sat outside to watch the Harvest Moon Rising. What a spectacular Hallowed Be Thy Name "treat" He gave us. Our entire property glowed by the light of the Harvest Moon reminding us of His Faithfulness and how His light dispels darkness. As I prayed for all of you, it was comforting to know all of us were blanketed underneath His same big moonlit sky! Thoughts of our one big happy family all snuggled together increased my Thanksgiving Blessings. Hope you felt the love.
DeleteYes Maplewood NJ, when we saw His Moon, we did see the Beauty of God!
DeleteBeautiful, Maplewood, and AMEN! And, Brie, I certainly felt the love! Sending love, prayers and blessings back to you and our JC family.
DeleteBlessings from California
Amen Maplewood and Thanks! Looking forward to a blessed November!
DeleteAmen Jan! Our tickets are booked. Love that.
And Brie, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go. On my way out to pick up my sister in law to go out for her Birthday. See you all later!
Amen Maplewood!
DeleteThanks for sharing Maplewood
DeleteGood morning Heavenly Father, I desire to begin each day with You, knowing You are in my presence, going before me, helping me face any challenges that cross my path. I want to see the world through Your loving eyes.
ReplyDeleteThank you warriors for prayers for my wrists. It's tendonitis. Rest, rest & more rest. This comes hard for me, as I love to cook/garden. Garden has been put to bed, no problem there. Cooking, baking on the other hand goes fast forward during the holidays. Oh well, Que Sera, Sera. Reading is always good, especially JC family posts 😊.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, JC fam and happy November!
ReplyDeleteJesus~ help me walk in your light today and be your hands and feet. In your name, we pray.
So glad that you know what to do for your wrists, Jan. Prayers for all of you lovely believers and rejoicing that it is November...goodbye all of the crazy Halloween stuff! It's amazing how 'dark' my casework gets towards the end of Oct. I'm always glad when God ushers in November as Maplewood so lovingly reminds us at the beginning of a new month.
ReplyDeleteThis will be our last weekend to campaign and then...I'll get my Dining Room table back! :) Thank you for your continued prayers - all of you have mine.
God bless,
Norah
Praying for campaign 🙏.
DeletePraying for the election. May God's will be done for our country.
DeleteGlad Halloween is over too!!!!! One of my un-believing friends I was ministering too (she had cancer) died on Halloween - BUT NOT BEFORE we both prayed the prayer of repentance.
ReplyDeleteA few years later my Sunday School Teacher was in the hospital dying from cancer. On the night of Halloween, her family and several church members gathered in her hospital room and prayed she wouldn't die on Oct. 31. PTL, she died a few minutes past mid-night.
Let our thoughts and our words be pleasing to you, Lord. Send us your holy spirit. Amen
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏
ReplyDeleteBEACH DEVOTION: PACKING UP
ReplyDeleteDo we have to leave the beach? Can we stay just a little bit longer? Please? Perhaps the happiest part of the beach vacation is arriving and unpacking beach items; the saddest part, packing up and leaving. We pack up, turn around and take it on home. Goodbye to newly found beach friends. Good bye to sand. Good bye to warm sunny waters - until the next time. From some beach trips, we depart in a flurry, thinking the quicker the departure the quicker the end to the heartbreak of leaving. From other beach trips, we linger for hours, getting one last look, one last swim, one last hug, one last memory.
Our Prayer life is similar.
Some days we rush through our prayers as an item we check off our todo list. Some days we make the worldly todo list wait, as we linger with our Maker and value our stillness with Him, remaining as long as possible until we receive His Peace, His Comfort and the rest we find only in His Presence. AHHH! Drinking deeply in Communion with our Lord! Whenever we experience this moment, welcome Jesus to come in and stay a while. Give Him time to speak. Give ourself time to listen.
When leaving time comes and we reenter life in a busy world, we can always be reminded of the time set aside for us and God and hold it in our heart, where the visit is forever ours.
BEACH VERSE FROM JOHN 15
I love you with an everlasting love and you are forever Mine. As Our Father loves Me, I love you. Live on within My love. Just as I obey Our Father and live in His love, obey Me and live in Mine. Be filled with my Joy and love each other as much as I love you. Then your cup of Joy will overflow.
A PRAYER FOR US:
Dear Heavenly Father God,
We want to always be at home with You and focusing on You, continually aware of Your Presence as though we're together on a neverending beach vacation. Would You accept our thanks for abiding with us when we pack up our prayer time, and reenter a world rigged with distractions, and our commitment wanes to abide with you? In Jesus' Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise and I thank You. Amen.
Amen 🙏. Beautifully said Brie.
DeleteAmen Brie!! Great "Beach Devotion", I share your prayers that comes with it!
DeleteRemain blessed.
Maplewood NJ
Thanks Brie - wonderful prayers. KS
DeleteAmen Brie! Thank you ❤
DeleteBlessings from France
Thank you Brie for beach devotions. Well said. Prayers for all. Mindy
DeleteAmen, Brie! Love the beach devotions. I can almost smell the salty sea air whispering of His love for me. Your prayer is mine. In His Love
DeleteDear Brie! You blessed me so much with this wonderful beach devotion. I was so busy with family and cooking and baking and being with my grandson and I was upset I didn't have time to finish reading and praying with my JC Family. But I knew I was also serving the Lord and making my family happy. But what a lovely dessert to read your beautiful words. Amen and Amen dear Sister!!! You gave me a dessert better than a hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top. God bless you Dear!
DeleteJeanne! Glad you were blessed! Hope you had a great celebration with your SIL and family. I am all in for sharing that hot fudge sundae!
DeleteLooking forward to sharing it with you, Sis!
DeleteSorry, meant thru you
DeleteIn Jesus name, Amen 🙏 🙌. Thank You Jesus. Praise the Lord continually and always.
ReplyDeleteLoving Father, We thank you for granting us the grace of seeing this first day of a new month. Thank you for Your mercies and faithfulness towards us. This is a month the of Thanksgiving, but we choose to give You thanks every month and every day. Thank You for placing us and allowing us to be right where we are right now. Help us to take our eyes off of others, our problems and fix them solely on Jesus this month and to look to You for our worth, not our circumstances. The reality is, we don't have to like where we are or what we have, but we have chosen to thank You for all You do regardless of our feelings regarding those things. Though sometimes we find it difficult to be thankful in imperfect circumstances, we thank You for enabling us to be content through Your power and strength. May we find peace that comes only from You, no matter what goes on in our lives. May we find gratitude in all that You have provided for us and grant us the peace to truly be content in Your faithfulness, provision and blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank You that we are into a realm of perpetual blessings as the seed of Abraham and because we come into this realm, it’s all about blessings everywhere. Thank You Father, for new beginnings in this new month, open fresh doors of provisions, and grant us anointed ideas that will lead us to new paths of blessings. May the success that has no bound locate us this new month to fulfil our heart desires, and may we rise above every problem that sticks to our destiny in the name of Jesus. May today be another opportunity to right yesterday’s wrong, may it be another chance to start afresh, another avenue to be better than yesterday and an opportunity to be better than the previous months. May we conquer every challenge that crosses our path and achieve our desired goal, and may this new month bring a plethora of changes in our lives that are positive and the best we’ve ever seen! However, no matter what happens in this new month, we trust You and choose to always have a reason to be grateful and thankful to You and live a life filled with purpose, joy and peace throughout.
We proclaim that we are going to walk in the consciousness of blessings and declare on this first day (individually) that:
I’m the blessed of God! I’m blessed in my going out and coming in! I’m blessed in my mind and thoughts! I’m blessed in my relationships! I’m blessed everywhere I go! I’m blessed! My work/job/assignments/project is blessed! My family is blessed! My friends are blessed! I’m thinking blessings! I’m talking blessings! I’m dreaming blessings! I’m healthy! I’m happy! I’m blessed now and I’m set free, in Jesus name!
JC family, may God fill this new month with pleasant surprises and abundance of blessings for each of you, and keep you well and safe. The same God who has been with us from January to October, is with us this month. He is able to accomplish the work He started in us. Give no room to doubt, for with God, all things are possible with all who believe. Trust and keep on abiding in Him. He has the authority to prepare a table in “your wilderness”.
Happy New Month of Thanksgiving, Harvest and Blessings, ALL to the glory of God the Father!
Blessings and Peace.
Maplewood, NJ
Thanks for the experience, and the Blessing Prayer Maplewood NJ. Your Blessing Prayer helps me fix my eyes solely on Jesus this month, look to Him for my worth, and thank Him profusely all day everyday. May you and each of your dear ones and our entire JC Family enjoy being blessed and highly favored as chosen children of God!
DeleteLove your prayer, Maplewood. Very uplifting. Thank you. Amen! KS
DeleteThank you Maplewood for ushering us into November 🥰. So good to hear the encouraging words to hold each of us steadfast & strong for the fate of our country hangs in a balance. Tuesday decides what happens to America from a human perspective. Soooo good to know God's verdict is what counts. Amen & Hallelujah!
DeleteAmen! Declaring blessings in every area of our lives. We are blessed! Thank you Jesus.
DeleteBlessings from France
Thankyou Maplewood for the Blessing prayer. So much to "chew on" in your post. I think each morning should start with this prayer before diving even deeper into devotions and requests. Love your thoughts and insights, as well as everyone else's. Love, prayers, and blessings to all my JC family. Mindy
DeleteIn agreement with you, Mindy, I copied Maplewood NJ's Blessing Prayer to say every morning in the Thanksgiving Month of November and help me turn my eyes toward Jesus at the start of each new November Day.
DeleteSuch a powerful blessing prayer, Maplewood! Thank you! Brie, I've also copied it to pray throughout this THANKSGIVING month of Nov. Be blessed my JC family, and may His love, peace, joy and favor chase You down. Love you all, and I'm grateful for this place!❤
DeleteDear Maplewood! Thanking God with you for every blessing I have and every new one that He will grant me this month. I ask Him to guide the election and the aftermath. He will hold my hand through November and whatever comes my way, He and I can handle together. I share in your wonderful prayer and I am thanking God for my blessings and you and my JC family are high on my list. We stand strong together despite the fact that we are all dealing with personal weaknesses. I have already put my heart problem in His Hands. I now have an issue with my eyes which have been irritated for weeks. My eye doctor put me on strong steroid drops for 10 days which seemed to make them worse. I left her a message today. I had no problems in my eyes before except floaters in both eyes. Initially I had used an old eye makeup removal pad which didn't smell fresh which started my problems. But God is holding me tight and I am sure it will get resolved. Was blessed today to be with my family and grandson. I thanked Him through the day for joy of being with them. Just the sound of little Gabriel's laugh is enough to lift my heart to the heavens. God knows what I need and exactly when I need it. He is so good all the time. Sending love and prayers.
DeleteBrie and Maplewood...I, too, find your prayers very beautiful and uplifting. I find myself praying your prayers,too...as if they came from my heart ,as well. God Bless All thus day. Peace be with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear warriors for the prayers that you sent up for my sister Loretta. Please continue on our behalf as she comes to mind. Praying for Pastor Louie, for Fern, 10-4 & all the rest. Thank you Anonymous for reminding us to have a listening heart, NC for your encouraging post. Now let's each one on this sabbath quiet our mind, soul & body to worship in spirit & truth. Happy Sabbath all. Love you all much❣️
ReplyDeletePraying for your dear sister and every requests. God bless you!

Jan - Continuing prayers for your sister Loretta. While preparing my heart for worship my daughter called to say she is on the way to church. Thank You Lord for the blessing of both daughters who praise and worship You. Praying for my JC Family as you pray for me.
Delete☺️ Nice SassyMom, blessings on you & precious daughters.
DeletePraying for your sister, Loretta, as requested and for all prayer requests. God be with you. Peace.
DeleteDear Jan, Continuing to pray for your sister from another mother, Loretta. And for Pastor Louie, and 10-4, and MadFox and all on my list. Dear Sassy Mom, I am so happy your daughters are going to church to worship. Only one of my 3 sons and his wife attend church even virtually. I pray someday my 2 other sons and their wives and my 2 grandsons will do the same. Praying for all unsaved family members and loved ones. God can do all things and prayer from a sincere heart is powerful. Thank you Jesus!!
Delete🙏🏾 Today I give thanks to God for my many blessings- blessed no matter my circumstances 💛 So uplifted by today’s posts. Thank you JC family for your beautiful prayers, like Bright Star, I am praying your prayers too, as I often do. Have a blessed day everyone.
ReplyDeletePraising and thanking the Lord for a new day! So many blessings to be grateful for. God be with you.
DeleteBlessings from California
God bless you dear Dree. Hope and pray God blesses you and yours in all things!
DeleteSuch sweet fellowship this morning, with all of you. And I don't feel like I'm running late - this 'extra hour' has calmed me down.
ReplyDeletePraying for each of your requests. Thankful for the sunny day, with a strong breeze (the leaves are flying) and, as always, I'm glad Halloween is OVER!
Praying for our Nation, for your France, BFF; for all of Brothers and Sisters on this page in and in my life as they come to mind...listening to you Father. Jan, Jeanne, Fern, Sassy Mom - specific prayers for what you've shared. Praying for you, MadFox, as always (I emailed you Friday). Would love to hear from you.
Giving this day to the Lord as he has so freely give me another one to live. Dear Maplewood, you always remind me to not take another day for granted. Brie, saying 'Goodbye' to the Beach was so real, I felt as if I'd been there! Bob, I thank you for your continued teachings, in whatever subject God puts on your heart next. Like Brie and MadFox, my heart kind of stopped until I read the rest of the sentence!
Enjoy this day, my dear JC Family. I'm praying for each of my offspring, their spouses and 'next steps,' in their lives. Anticipating the Holidays and wondering how we'll pull it off this year. Then I remembered - I WON'T be 'pulling it off,' God will direct our steps and all will be blessed.
Love to each of you.
Amen, Norah! Joining you and our JC family in praying for all intentions listed above and below. I'm at peace knowing God is greater than any problem or circumstance. If God is for us, who can be against us? Love and blessings to all of you on this All Saint's Day. Enjoy your Sunday.❤
DeleteDear Norah, Praying with you and trusting God to grant us our requests, provide our needs and guide our country and our own paths this month. I also felt teary eyed when I read Brie's Goodbye to the Beach because the house we've rented at the end of the summer for 20 years has been sold. God will make a way for us as always. God bless your family as they journey through this new month. Amen, We will not worry about how Thanksgiving will play out. Looks like we won't be with any of our 3 sons but will be with my Mom and brother and for that I am grateful. God is orchestrating and everything will come together since we are putting Him in the center. Amen, "God will direct our steps and all will be blessed". Much love and gratitude.
DeleteA Prayer for All Saints Day
ReplyDeleteDear God, thank you for the example of the Saints. We desire to join in their company, worshiping you forever in Heaven. Please help us follow their footsteps, and yours, Jesus Christ. Please help us to conform to Your image, seeking Your will in all things, as the Saints did. Please help us to dedicate all that we do, to Your Glory, and to the service of our neighbors. Amen.
Amen! God sure has a lot of molding to do in me, but I am open to be changed according to His amazing plan.
DeleteYes Brie! Praying with you: Help us Lord to do every good work you have set before us For your glory. Guide us to what we must to improve the lives of others. Put them before us each day or put their names in our minds so we will call them and comfort and encourage them. Thank you Jesus.
Good morning! I too have been calmed by and extra hour. How time bound I often feel! This is my favorite day of the year, doubly so this year as the time change happened on ALL SAINTS DAY ✝️♥️
ReplyDeleteOn this time change day, I treat each hour as a special gift, a day where I probably live more consciously in the present than any other. I pray to live more days like this in conscious Presence with our Lord.
Thank you all for this special hour today in communion with each other and the Holy Spirit. Blessings all around on this new day in a new month! It will be better than OK 😁
Amen! One more hour to praise His Holy Name and to thank Him for blessings that are too many to count. Amen It will be okay because God is leading it.
DeleteThank you Jesus..thank you Jesus. Yes, Chris, no matter what happens in life God is good...very good.
ReplyDeleteAmen Loveconquersall! So good to us in good times and bad. We are so blessed that He never ever leaves our side.
DeleteJust had to share the good news that my oldest son Bryan and his lovely wife Allie just told us they will be having a baby in May! God answered all our prayers. He is so very faithful!! I couldn’t be happier and I couldn’t be more thankful! Thanks for all if your sincere prayers. Thank You Jesus!!

ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for communicating with me. You make me smile throughout the day, every day. As I read the words of this message this morning, I felt like You were speaking directly to me. It was as if I wasn't reading, but You were just talking to me and I've never had that kind of feeling before. I've noticed when messages I've read have felt directed toward me, but not like this. Thank You Jesus. I praise You Lord always and continually. Continue to transform and mold me into Your image. Remove this dead flesh from me and replace it with Your living Spirit. Help me to walk in Your Spirit and not in my flesh. You are so amazing and wonderful. I am so grateful to You for everything. Hold my hand and walk with me through this beautiful day that You have prepared and keep me close in Your heart and my steps on Your path for me. You know all that I need and I know that You will provide to me what You know that I need. Open my heart and mind to receive all that You have for me and pour out Your blessings upon me. Align our spirits together as one. I am Yours and You are mine. We are one. Reveal to me what I need to know and all the pleasures and joys of Your heart. Let me share them with You. Thank You for all my benefits and blessings Lord. Thank You for another blessed day in the Lord. Help me keep You first and foremost in my heart, soul, mind, body, and life and when I am distracted from You, bring my eyes back to You. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
The Lord be praised both now & forevermore! Amen! Thank you sister Janet🙏💕

DeleteJC Warriors - There is a lady named Nancy at my church and she has been suffering with pain in her leg and lower back for some time now. I would greatly appreciate all prayers for her restoration and healing. Thank you all in advance. You are all God's angels here. God bless!
ReplyDeleteWill pray for Nancy, Janet. That her leg and back pain are healed by our Jehovah Rapha, the greatest healer and physician!
DeletePlease pray prayers of encouragement for my Neighbor Nancy, too. Her cancer returned after 25 years. The Dr's stopped the new chemo because it was damaging her kidney's.
DeleteThank You Jesus for these two Nancys. We lift to You the needs of each. Jehovah Rapha we petition You to move mightily in their time of need. Touch! Their bodies oh Lord. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen! Hallelujah!

Father, as sister Janet posted last year, I too felt that personal touch like no other from the JC devotion reading this morning. Of late I've been distracted in the morning & it was bothering me & on top of it all, the enemy was heaping guilt upon guilt in my spirit. Well, You fixed that! No doubt I will endeavor to do better by being on vigil & aware of his tactics, but just thanking You dear Lord for speaking to my heart directly. I love You Jesus. AMEN! Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteYou and God have got this. Jan.
DeleteMay each distraction remind us to say Thank You God!
I have a lot on my mind so I understand dear Jan! But no matter what is going on, we are still in God's presence and care for greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.
DeleteThank You God!!!
Good morning friends. This morning I'm hearing the words of the song play in my head, "I am holding on to you..."

How is your health today, Keith?
Praying with our dear Brie for your healing and good health, dear brother Keith. God loves you so much and He is holding you tight. I have been feeling Him holding me tight too.
DeleteGreetings fellow Saints in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
ReplyDelete"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
Today, All Saints Day, I remember the Saints I've know, now in Glory who have have impacted my life. I thank the Lord for all of them.
I mentioned two; my paternal grandfather Frederick 'Fred' and my Aunt Freda.
Fred was a man of prayer. As a small child I once asked "Why are Granddad's lips moving all the time?" ( He was busy feeding the chickens and working in the vegetable patch ( I, at 4 or 5 years old was 'helping him' :) my Mother said, "Granddad is praying." When with him, I followed behind as he worked on the potatoes, tomatoes, onions etc 'helping'.
I loved to be with him, there was always a 'presence ' about him. In later life I knew that presence was the Lord. He passed on many years ago, I still miss him.
My Aunt Freda with Mr & Mrs Baggot and their children Stephen and Verna together with Miss Wakefield a Bible translator, in the 50's and onwards were the Sahara Desert Mission's presence in the small village now the city of Tamanrasset, Algeria.
She was my favourite aunt. When home on furlough Freda would spend hours with me talking about the Lord, life in a mudbrick hut, scorpions, looking for water and the Tuareg folk she lived amongst. She told too of those who got saved and died horribly for their faith. I believe the Lord through her influenced my interest in the Middle East living amongst Muslim folk. She too passed away years ago.
I thank God for their witness in sharing their relationship with God and praying with others for me when on the wrong side of the tracks in Pakistan and other countries.
Because of them and other Saints in my life, today's Jesus Calling is so relevant: "I know that your heart's desire is to be aware of My Presence continually." This IS my heart's desire. It may be a "lofty goal", but I'm pressing on.
Philippians 3: 12-14 ( The Message) "I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back."
Fellow Saints, keep pressing on!

Burned out, though I may be, I'm pressing on with you and our JC Family of Prayer Warriirs, Peter!
DeleteThank you Peter. As always.
DeleteGood morning to all, so I have a prayer request from my son. He has asked his dad, my ex husband, to go to church with him. He laughter and said no. So I’m asking as many people as possible cause I know prayer works. I ask that you pray for his dad for our Lord, our Father to soften his heart so he will turn towards our Lord and savior. That he will give his life to Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
PS: my son has been abused by his dad mentally his entire life and still does as my son is 23, autistic and a lot of mental health issues and still wants to pray for his dad. Wow, such a lovely heart he has. He is the one who has asked me to ask anyone to pray for his dad.
I am praying TO the Maker, Keeper, and Ace of all Hearts, FOR your son, his dad, and you, Daughter of a King.
DeleteChange our hearts O Lord, Make them ever new. Change hearts O God, until they're just like You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Dear Daughter of the King, Praying that your ex husband's heart will be softened towards the Lord, and that God will make a way for him to turn to Jesus with a true longing to belong to Him. May God heal your dear son in his weaknesses, and reward his beautiful heart with many blessings. Thank You for this in Jesus' Name. Amen
DeleteJoining in prayers for your ex-husband to be drawn to the Lord and his heart softened. May our heavenly Father open his eyes, heart and mind to Him and change his ways. May your son be blessed and his heart overflowing with joy. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless.
DeleteJoining in prayer dear DOTK. Yes indeed prayer works! We share in your concern & petitioning the Lord for victory for you & family. Love & blessings sending your way. 💞🙏🌈
DeleteJoining in more prayers for all requests. Thank you Father for your protection over our travels. Grant us peace and healing in your name Jesus as we settle back into home on earth.
ReplyDeleteAmen dear Janet! Your prayer is my prayer.
ReplyDeletePlease pray for me. My eye doctor said I have a lump in the tear gland near my right eye. I must see an Ocularfacial plastic surgeon tomorrow morning to find out what can be done. Thanking God for His faithfulness and guiding the surgeon to a correct assessment, and if it must be biopsied, let it be benign. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeletePrecious Jeanne --- You have my prayers. Papa God, Your thoughts towards us are of peace not evil, to give us a future and a hope. Papa, I Declare Divine Supernatural Health to Jeanne. I Plead the Blood of Jesus over her and her family. I Declare Supernatural healing is flowing throughout Jeanne's body righr now, in the name of Jesus.

Deletewill Glorify Your name as You do a healing work on the lump in Jeanne's tear gland. I pray and believe in Jesus's name, AMEN and AMEN.
Praying for you, Dear Sister Jeanne. Haven't read many requests, but when setting up tomorrow, I brought today up, too and saw your post. I am praying as I go to sleep. My DH's endoscopy went well. The Dr. took biopsies that we'll not get the results on until next week. His wife is a friend of mine and I asked that she PLEASE interpret all he said, b/c, quite honestly - it was Greek to us! I feel my Best Man's angst. For someone who has battled Cancer hear the words, "Biopsy," brings difficulty. You and my DH will be the ones I'm praying for as I go to sleep to Ocean Waves. I love you, Jeanne.
ReplyDeletePraying for a clear and clean B9opsy, now and forevermore. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeleteThanks for your prayers. Be not afraid. He goes before you always. Amen. Praying for all to go smoothly because God is in charge. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteAmen Jeanne 🙏.
ReplyDeleteOr where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. (Psalm 139:7-12).
ReplyDeleteAmen, dear Janet! He is with us always, everywhere, and even until the end of time right into eternity!
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You and bless Your holy name! I praise You Lord always and thank You Jesus 😊. Lord, it is such a great comfort to know that You are always with me no matter what. You are always faithful, even when I am not. You know everything about me and You know all that I am going to do. You know what I am going through and exactly how I feel. There is no one else that can ever know me like You do. And no one can ever take care of me like You. You are my everything Lord! Thank You for always being there! In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer and truth! No one knows us or loves us like our Great God! Amen!

ReplyDelete7 Ways Satan Manipulates People
By Michael Youssef, Ph.D.
Read 2 Corinthians 11:3-4.
"When we consider the weapons in Satan's arsenal, deception has to be one of the deadliest. I believe there are seven ways he manipulates people as he attempts to keep them from walking in the Truth.
First, Satan convinces people to question the authority of God's Word. He was thrown out of heaven and wants the same result for believers and unbelievers alike. So, he convinces us to turn the command of God into a dialogue—a debate—Is this really relevant for today?
Second, Satan goes to church. He actually seeks to infiltrate them. And when he does, he tricks people into accepting his standards by introducing lies, which dangerously resemble Truth.
Third, the devil pretends to be sympathetic. We see this when people look for a church to meet their needs. But no church, no program, and no pastor can meet the needs of a person's soul. Only Jesus can do that. That is why the Bible says we must seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and then the Lord will meet all our needs (see Matthew 6:33).
Fourth, the devil is a master forger. Because Satan once lived and served in the throne room of God, he knows how to imitate God. Like Paul, we must discern between the cheap imitation and the genuine article (see Acts 13:8-10).
Fifth, Satan elevates celebrities. These influencers attract media attention everywhere they go and are very understanding and accommodating of sinful lifestyles, so people flock to them. That's what Satan wants, so these are the sorts of people he elevates.
Sixth, the enemy of our souls holds up shiny lures before us in nearly every area of life. With drama and flair, he invites us to enjoy a swim in warm, comforting waters that turn out to be a frigid ocean of falsehood.
Finally, Satan never attacks from the front. He tempts us to commit so-called "socially acceptable" sins—gossip, unforgiveness, abdicating spiritual leadership, and the like. However, these "minor sins" can neutralize our testimony and our prayer life, stifle the Gospel, and destroy the unity of the church.
But thanks be to God, "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4)! So call upon Him. Call upon the Spirit to empower you to not be ignorant of our enemy's devices, designs, and tricks. He is faithful, and He will do it.
Prayer: Father, thank You that You have given me everything I need to live a life of godliness. I ask for wisdom and discernment to identify the lies of the enemy and help others to pursue Your Truth, too. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
"But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3)".

DeleteThank you for sharing. Sassy Mom. It is important to know the tactics of the enemy. Thank you Jesus, You DEFEATED him SOUNDLY!!!
DeleteHALLELUJAH!!!
Thanks dear Sassy Mom! Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. God is so much greater than that liar and thief. Hallelujah!
DeleteWonderful prayer, Amen!
So blessed to read this earlier:
ReplyDeleteAMPC John 14:1-3
1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.
2 In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.
3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also."
Thanks dear Peter! This is not our Home.
DeleteFeeling blessed as I welcome Novemburrr in the company of the JC online family gratefully warm in my home. I don't know how to comfort the oh-so-many that I see living in the cold outdoors but I pray they will come to an addiction to Jesus instead of the other harmful numbing choices the devil presents to them. In Jesus' name I pray. 🙏
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed indeed. I pray with you that the homeless find shelter, food, water, warm coats and clothes and medical help especially as the days get colder. Amen! May they become addicted to Jesus instead of the devil's trappings. In Jesus' Name we pray.
DeleteHad a shaky day. Major tummy problems but I kept calling to Jesus and He healed me. Just must share Maplewood's words and prayer for November. We are well taken care of because the Lord is faithful and so good. Thank you, dear Maplewood: Thank You Father God!!!
ReplyDeleteThank You Jesus!
We proclaim that we are going to walk in the consciousness of blessings and declare on this first day (individually) that:
I’m the blessed of God! I’m blessed in my going out and coming in! I’m blessed in my mind and thoughts! I’m blessed in my relationships! I’m blessed everywhere I go! I’m blessed! My work/job/assignments/project is blessed! My family is blessed! My friends are blessed! I’m thinking blessings! I’m talking blessings! I’m dreaming blessings! I’m healthy! I’m happy! I’m blessed now and I’m set free, in Jesus name! Amen!
Amen! Especially praying for my son Dylan's family who don't believe in God at all. They dressed their son in a Fairy princess costume right down to the jewelry and tiara. Very disturbing.
ReplyDeleteDear Jeanne -- Lifting up your son's family to our Mountain Moving God. He will show them the Mysteries of Christ. They will NOT MISS THEIR DESTINY. They will beome a great testimony to the Saving Power of Jesus Christ. I Pray and Believe in Jesus's Name AMEN and AMEN

Had to hop on here and let all of you know that my DH did great today with his Angiogram. All is well. The Dr. had an emergency early this morning so everything was backed up. We didn't get home until 8:30 tonight. But, the procedure went well and we'll know more re: next steps in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of your for your prayers and love!
