Our Hope is In God-Jack Blake
Monday, May 27, 2024Good Morning,
The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And according to the proverbs of the ancients, wickedness proceeds from the wicked (1 Samuel 24.13). And like it or not, we have to live in this broken sin filled world. But there is hope for the faithful obedient, for we are of God.(1 John 5.19). As children of God, we still must grow in the Spirit and in the likeness of our creator while being surrounded by the troubles and evils of the world.
Father, You are our strength and only hope to help us overcome the evil one and his wicked ways. As we humble ourselves under Your mighty hand, Father, we give praise, honor and glory to your most holy name. Praising and blessing You for Your truth, Your greatness, Your goodness, Your mercy and Your loving kindness. Father, as our creator and the God of our salvation, we thank you for Your word on which we stand, and for Jesus who gave His life for us that we might have a more abundant life. This we pray in Jesus name. AMEN.
A Morning Prayer-Jack Blake
Friday, May 24, 2024Good Morning,
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118.24). Father, we come to You this morning on bended knee and humble our selves before Your throne, being thankful for Your protection and peace as we rested through the night; and for waking us to live this new day for you. Give us, Father, our daily bread and forgive our sins as we forgive those who transgress us. Lord, increase our knowledge of You and help us to understand that our plans for this day must be surrendered to Yours. Help us to do all things in word and deed that will bring praise, honor and glory to Your holy name. In Jesus name w pray, AMEN.
Our God is Alive-Jack Blake
Saturday, May 18, 2024Good Morning,
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." But that foolish statement is an outright lie. For there is a God, a living God and the heavens declare His glory and the firmament shows His handiwork. (Psalms 19.1). Our God is alive and well sitting on His throne in heaven, ruling over heaven and earth. He encourqes and helps us in times of trouble. By His strength He vindicates us. He is the all knowing one who knows and searches the hearts of men. He is all powerful giving and taking life as He choses. Oh, yes, there is a God in whom all faithful obedient believers live and move and have their being. (Acts 17.28) and we owe, we owe our life to Him. By the way have you talked to God today to thank Him for your every blessing, and to let Him know how much you love Him for being our God and accepting us as His children?
Christ Lives in Me-Jack Blake
Friday, May 17, 2024Good Morning,
Having been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. (Galatians 2.20; cf Romans 6). Having said that, if Christ truly lives in me, I will have the same mind as He; that is being tenderhearted, loving, kind, merciful and forgiving.
Search Me, O my God, and know my heart, try me and know my anxieties. Search the deep crevices of my heart to see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalms 139.23,24) In Jesus name AMEN.
God's Chosen One-Jack Blake
Friday, April 12, 2024Greetings,
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16.16), who has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and has commanded us to go and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28.18,19). If we love Him we will keep His commandments, I say it again, if we love Him we will keep His commandments. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father is through Him (John 14.6). He is the Son of God (John 20.31), and the son of man (Luke 22.48). He is our hope and faith and mystery of godliness (1 Timothy 1.1, 14; 3.16). He is God's chosen one to descend from His heavenly place to this low ground of sin and sorrow, to suffer and die for the world's sin. Jesus is all of this and so much more, to Him I owe my life.
