Word From Your Spirit

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. 
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of simple comprehension and understanding of whatever Word that Your Spirit has for us this day, be it written ancient scripture or as a revelation of thought in our inner heart and soul and mind, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Mt 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Mt 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 
Mt 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 
Mt 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 

1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

1 Corinthians 2:12 ( Hall's Explication, Power Bible CD )

Now, this Spirit of God is that, which we have received: we, that are his regenerate children, are partakers, not of that spirit wherewith worldly men are led and carried, but of that good Spirit which is of God; that we might, by his illumination and grace, know and apprehend the great, spiritual, and heavenly blessings of forgiveness and salvation, that are freely given to us of God.

Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ro 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Ro 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Ro 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Ro 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Ro 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Ro 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Ro 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Ro 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Ro 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 
Ro 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Ro 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
Ro 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing  
Ro 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Ro 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Ro 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Ro 14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Ro 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Ro 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Ro 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Ro 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Ro 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Amazing Grace

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of realizing how enormous our need for redemption is and please lead us into paths of the understanding of how wonderful the Loving and Forgiving Grace is that makes our redemption possible. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
True grace increaseth by the ordinary use of it - much more by the extraordinary trials of it. A believer thrives (as to the inner man) in affliction, how much soever he loseth and goeth backward as a man. ~ Joseph Caryl 

KJV*
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 
Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 
Tit 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Emotional Comfort

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others. 
Dear Lord please lead us on paths where new friends and new abilities can be be found and please help us demonstrate to others by setting good examples to show how we have been blessed with fruits of the Holy Spirit and with humility display humble love for each other.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of patience and courtesy while considering the emotional comfort of all others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
1Pe 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 
1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 
1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 
1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 
1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 
1Pe 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

A Mold To Shape Us

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of diligence as we search for the right mold to use to shape our existence, and please may this mold be lined with the Love and Teachings of Jesus Christ as we are formed by the understanding we find as You shape us to Your Will and not to ours.
Dear Lord please may Your Will be done here on earth as it is in heaven, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.  

KJV*
Ro 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 
Ro 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 
Ro 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 
Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 
Ro 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 
Ro 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 
Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 
Ro 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 
Ro 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 
Ro 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 
Ro 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Ro 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 
Ro 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 
Ro 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 
Ro 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 
Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 
Ro 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 
Ro 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 
Ro 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 
Ro 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 
Ro 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 
Ro 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 
Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Despair or Joy

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of hope for our friends and family and please lead us into paths of understanding that Your Ways may not be always the ways that we would choose, but if we surrender our will for Yours in the control of our lives, all things will work out for our good and for the best. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV*
Ec 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ec 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
Ec 2:19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. 
Ec 2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 
Ec 2:21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. 
Ec 2:22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? 
Ec 2:23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity. 
Ec 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. 
Ec 2:25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? 
Ec 2:26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Pitfalls of Pride

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do.Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of thought that will take us into Your Presence as we seek Your Kingdom and seek words that can help others find paths of thought that will bring them into Your Presence, but please guide us away from the pitfalls of pride that will insist on our paths of thought for all who seek Your Kingdom and Your Peace. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride.  And yet there is no vice that is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. -Spurgeon

KJV*
Pr 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
