Luke 11:13 NABRE

Jesus said:  "If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

My take for today: 

If you are a believer, ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Father, 

I thank You for Your exceptional desire to give us the Holy Spirit if we ask of You. Lord, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His empowerment to pray, teach and heal. 

In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, Amen.

Matthew 4:1-11

...“Worship the Lord your God, and only Him. Serve Him with absolute single-heartedness.”

My take for today: 

The gifts of empowerment by the Holy Spirit.

Father, may I say thank You without any reservations for the gift of the Holy Spirit to help our infirmities as we are faced with temptations, sicknesses, hardships of this world, along with ego and self-reliance to solve the issues of each given day. 
Lord, in Your delight, help us when we are faced with our struggles in this life of darkness, pride and deceptions coming from the flesh and forces of the evil one. 

Our desire is to worship and serve You, Lord God, only. 
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Matthew 10:1 NIV

Jesus called His twelve disciples to Him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

My take for today: 

The gifts of the Gospel: preaching, teaching and healing.

With the spirit of humility, Father, I come to You this morning to thank You for the gifts of preaching, teaching and healing, given to Your servants. Now, Lord, I  release the power of the blood and voice of Jesus, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to cleanse and heal Your people as they confess and repent of their sins. 
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭21:12-13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” He said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

My take for today: 

The Church is not a marketing entity. 

Father, I thank You for making us Your living temple by the death of Your Son and by the giving of the  Holy Spirit.  Father, take control of Your church, throw out all those who are buying and selling and money-milking Your people, in Jesus' name,  Amen.

Hebrews 2:1-4

... we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard. 

My take for today: 

The cost of ignoring the Words of the salvation of spirit, soul, and body is a foolish expense. 

In the consciousness of salvation of my spirit, soul, and body, Father let me say thank You Lord for saving me, opening my eyes to the knowledge of self-deliverance, by the power of the Holy Spirit given to me, to experience life in victory.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

John 6:63

The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don’t make anything happen. Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making. But some of you are resisting, refusing to have any part in this.

My take for today: 

The Word of God is Spirit and Life.

In the pursuit of a complete life, Lord helps us to know that Your Words are Spirit and Life. Father, let Your Spirit of life through the administration of the Holy Spirit be our source for true life to dispense to Your people; in Jesus' name, Amen.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The apostle Paul describes Jehovah as “the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials"; and has assured us that no person is beyond God’s help and that no tragedy is so great that our Heavenly Father cannot comfort us. 

My take for today: 

Our God is the God of all comfort, compassion and care.

In our struggles for the answers in sorrow, Father, I thank You for Your assurance that You are with us to the end. Lord, You are the God of all comfort! Comfort us O' God, help us to withstand the tides of the testing of our faith in You Father God, in Christ and in the Holy Spirit.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Luke 23:23-34

... Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” ...

My take for today: 

FATHER, forgive me & forgive my enemies. 

In the splendor of this beautiful morning You created, Father, let me say thank You for my family, my brothers and sisters in Christ; and even for my natural enemies, who keep me praying the more like my Lord: saying 'Father I forgive them as You forgive me day in and day out.'

In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen!

Matthew‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭

... Your lives light up the world.

My take for today: 

Christ-followers are lights of this world.  

Father,  I thank You for bringing us out of darkness; equipping us to be an embodiment of the Light of this world; and to be like a city set on a hill, that cannot be hidden. 

May we reflect Your Light & share Your Agape love everywhere we go.
