TODAY’S MANNA for Sunday October 29, 2023

You Are Able

This is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.
Philippians 1:9-10 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
You are able (through God’s knowledge) to make the best decisions!
I don’t know about you, but my most difficult decisions are not about choosing between good and bad. I usually know what is good and what is bad, especially when bad involves evil. My toughest choices are when I have to choose between good, better, and best. My love for God usually overcomes my weakness and I choose good over bad. But unless I’ve placed myself before God and meditated His Word and surrendered my heart to Him in prayer, I have a very tough time choosing between good, better, and best. Yet, I’m convinced that much of what God would love to do through us today does not happen because we’ve settled for good when He longs to lead us in His best! Paul’s prayer for the Philippians was that their love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that they would be able to discern what is best for them (according to God’s will). Pray, ask God to show you what His Best is for you, then decide based on His knowledge not yours.

MY PRAYER…
Gracious Father and Almighty God, Teach me to do You will; for You are my God: Your Spirit is good; lead me into the land of righteousness. Quicken me, LORD, for Your name’s sake: for Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. Teach me Your ways and give me Your heart as I strive to love You more, know Your will, and have insight into Your ways. For Your ways are not my ways. Help me to know the best things to do today and how to use my time in the best way in my work, my family, among my friends, and especially before those who do not know Christ as their Savior. Through Jesus I pray.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Saturday, October 28, 2023

Orphans

If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
John 14:15-18 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God will not leave you orphans!
God promises we will not be left as orphans!
Oh, how Jesus loves to do good things for us. For those who believe in Him. Notice that He was talking to believers and not the unsaved. He said He would send another Helper. A helper, the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, the Counselor, The Guide, the Teacher, The Holy Spirit. Jesus made sure we would not be alone. He had the Father send us back not just a good gift, but the best gift! A gift that the world, those who have not made Jesus their Lord, can not receive, know, or see. But we have Him, He dwells in us so that we are not alone (orphans). He is the promise that Jesus will return for us in that “Great Day”! Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? There is another gift of the Holy Spirit subsequent to the new birth. Many have not received this, because they either do not know about Him or they have been taught wrong. You must believe in Him to receive Him, the Holy Spirit! Many do not believe and therefore do not receive.

MY PRAYER…
Precious Lord Jesus, Thank You for sending us the Holy Spirit. Thank You for not leaving us alone, but instead giving us a Helper, a Comforter, a guide, and a Counselor. Thank You Lord for sending the Spirit of Truth to lead and to guide us until You return for us. Thank You Father that on the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was given for all those who would believe and those who receive will be baptized in fire and with power.
In the name of Jesus, Lord I give You all glory and honor.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Friday October 27, 2023

God At Work

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Let God work in your life.
God is in our lives. He is at work right now, undoing Satan’s destructive messes and leading us to places he wants us to go, IF we will listen to His voice. God is NOT the one who brings bad things into your life, that is the work of the devil. My Bible says: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” (James 1:17) It doesn’t say bad things!
This is true in everything we do and everywhere we go. The key is for us to seek his purpose, to live his will, to lay down our lives and our plan and our way of doing things and to pick up His plan and His way. If that is our goal, then we can be sure our God is with us every step of our way. For He has said in His Word “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” and “all good and perfect things come down from the Father of light.”

MY PRAYER…
Thank You, Father God, for being at work in my life. Thank You for not leaving me alone to my best effort, insight, and choice. Thank You for having a plan for me from before the beginning of time and being the assurance that I can’t mess that plan up if I seek Your will. Thank You for being my God, my Father, and my Partner through all of life. Thank You Lord for all the good things You have given me!
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Thursday October 26, 2023

Called By His Name

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are you called by His name?

First I want you all to notice who God is talking about here. His people, Christians, not the people of the world who are still lost & without hope & without God. He’s not talking to the religious fanatics who call themselves Christians, not cult churches who try to lead you to believe they are Christians, not the homosexuals and lesbians and LGBTQs that call themselves ‘gay’. There is nothing “gay” about homosexuality in God’s eyes it is still SIN! Besides, they couldn’t humble themselves and pray even if they wanted to – they don’t know how and they don’t have the fellowship yet with God for Him to hear their prayers. Besides why should they care, they don’t even believe in God.
Our country’s moral ethics are at the lowest I’ve ever seen, and they are still in a downward spiral. They must be approaching that which was in the days of Noah! Oh, remember Sodom and Gomorrah? We’re headed to the same end as they had. And that can only mean we are very near the end of time as we know it.
Along with the morals being in such a decadent state look at our economic situation. And even now our government is trying to turn us into a socialist country. Corrupt presidential elections, the 2008 and 2012 elections were rigged and fixed so that the democrats won, regardless of how the general public really voted, not what the people wanted! More like an election in some South Africa countries I have visited where they just bulldoze the opposition!
Let us not forget what God did to the world in the days of Noah, or what He did at Sodom and Gomorrah, He can do it again. Not by water, but maybe by fire! Are we about to see a cleansing of the earth again? And that can only mean we are very near the end.
Let us, as children of the Most High God, get before our God and ask His forgiveness for this once great country, He said My people – not the worldly, cults, or religious people.
Humility is not our culture’s biggest asset or our most desired character quality. But humility is what is demanded by God not so much because it’s commanded (though that would be enough), but because without it he doesn’t even hear our prayers. Every year brings another wave of major failures in morality, character, and spirituality to this nation (and the rest of the world.) Rather than progressing as a culture, we find ourselves regressing, though most do not think so. Everyday the news is full of more stories that show our morality is in deep decay, it is in a death spiral going down. Child molestation, incest, adultery, homosexual and lesbian activity and all the other types of immorality that does NOT belong in this people let alone in His Church. And that can only mean we are very near the end.
It is time that those who are called by His name (those who are really true Christians), humble themselves before Him, ask forgiveness through prayer, and then really do change. Being humble is not being poor and weak. Being humble is knowing when and how to get on your face before God and cry out to Him for help, knowing that you cannot do anything for yourself without Him. So let’s get humble and call upon the Lord for help for this nation (your nation, the world) and not only ours but all nations! It’s time that we as Christians are heard just as loud as those who are trying intimidate us and make us embrace and do their ways! We have just as much right to our beliefs as they do theirs, in fact even more since ours are (should be anyway) God’s beliefs!
I ask all who read this to truly search your hearts and then with all your heart to pray this prayer from your heart both for yourself and for this country of ours and especially for all of our Military members wherever they may be today. Without our military being where they are and doing what they are doing this nation would NOT be free today!

MY PRAYER…
Holy and Almighty Father God, Your deeds are awesome, Your faithfulness is overwhelming, and Your mercy and grace are unwarranted yet very welcome. I come to You knowing that You hear me, despite the incredible distance between You and I, between Your worth and holiness and my lack. I confess that I, and my culture and the country around me have made a mess of what You so wonderfully blessed us with. I come humbly asking that You reassert Yourself in our nation and in our land in clearly recognizable ways. That You would heal our land as you said you would. That you would show those who are without You who You are and how they are wrong.
Father, that You place Your Holy angels around our military and that You show them things to come before they happen. That you would foil the enemy’s plans against our military and expose them on every front. Lord and Father I pray that You would send laborers into the harvest while the harvest is still ripe. That You give us strength where we are weak and make us strong through Jesus to be what You would have us to be and to do what You would have us to do. I ask this in faith through Jesus Christ my Lord.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Wednesday October 25, 2023

God’s Original Message To Mankind

This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
1 John 3:11 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Have you heard God’s original message to mankind?
The original love story – The original (Love) message, love one another. The enduring message – A love story, love one another. The most convicting message – A love story, love one another. The most confusing message – A love story, love one another. The most difficult message – A love story, love one another. The most God pleasing message – A love story, love one another. This is what God as told us to do. This is God’s original and still primary message to us. Paul said that without Love he was nothing, no matter what else he did. God has given us the example to live by, He is LOVE! His Son Jesus is LOVE! He loved us before we loved Him, even before we knew Him. Do you represent God’s Love?

MY PRAYER…
Loving Father, I commit to You that I will intentionally show my love for Your children from this day forward in all I do and say. I do this, trusting Your grace to empower me to do more than I could do on my own. I ask You to continue filling me with Your Holy Spirit and power, that I may be made strong in this area. Help me, Father, to walk in the footprints of Your Holy son Jesus. To become more like Him everyday and less like myself. In Jesus’ name, my Savior, Redeemer, Healer, and Prosperity, I pray
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Tuesday October 24, 2023

No Laws!

The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 13:9-10 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Imagine not having laws! Something to truly think about!
Imagine a place that didn’t even need written social laws! Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to have laws to keep people in line! That’s the point behind Paul’s message here. Treat our neighbors as we would like to be treated. Love them as we like to be loved. Using God’s type of Love (AGAPE-Love without conditions) not physical love. If we do that, then we’re not going to do anything that would hurt them, much less violate a commandment of the law, God’s or man’s. Do that and we fulfill the Law of God.

MY PRAYER…
Father God, who gave the Law on tablets of stone to Moses, please write Your character and will on my heart so I might be a living stone, testifying to Your Righteousness, Your Mercy, and Your Grace. Help me to think more carefully about how my neighbors feel before I act or react to them from this day forward. Help me Lord to exhibit Your love in all I do and say. Help me Lord to have integrity before both You and my neighbors. Through your Holy Son, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Monday October 23 2023

What if we didn’t have to have laws?

The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 13:9-10 New International Version

Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to have laws to keep people in line! That’s the point behind Paul’s message here from God. Treat our neighbors as we would like to be treated ourselves. Love them as we like to be loved. If we do that, then we’re not going to do anything that would hurt them, much less violate a commandment of the law, God’s or man’s. Therefore there would be no need for any other laws. But man has a sin nature and cannot do this without God (Jesus) in his life.

MY PRAYER…
Father God, He who gave Moses the Law on tablets of stone, please write Your character and will on my heart so I might be a living stone, testifying to Your righteousness and grace. Help me to think more carefully about how my neighbors feel before I act or react to them from this day forward. Help me Lord to exhibit Your love in all I do and say, to walk so that the love light of Jesus shines forth from within me. Help me Lord to have integrity before both You and my neighbors. Through your Holy Son, Jesus, I pray.

TODAY’S MANNA for Sunday, October 22, 2023

Government Authorities?

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister(servant) to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister(servant), an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.
Romans 13:1-5 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God said everyone was to be subject to the government authorities.
Do you struggle with what your government or what your president is doing? Do you find it hard to follow all of the rules and laws of society today? Just remember what is says in Romans 13:1 above, “For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” The authority is appointed by God not the man or woman in the office, they are there usually through your votes. But, once they are in office the authority they wield comes from God. If you don’t like what they are doing vote them out next election, don’t keep voting them in for longer terms! Remember, God’s Word says we are to pray for them who are in authority. And it didn’t say only if you want to! Be careful though, that how and what you pray is in line with God’s Word also, anything else is witchcraft or sorcery praying. God didn’t say you had to like them, He just said pray for them. We need order and structure in our society, where would we be without it? But, more importantly we need what God has set forth for us, and we need to be obedient to His Word. If those in office are not doing God’s will -VOTE them OUT! If you resist authority of any kind, then you are resisting God. If you are resisting God then you are in rebellion and are subject to the governing authority’s sword of justice. You are also subject to the same punishment given to Lucifer for his rebellion unless you change your ways. He fell (was thrown out of) from heaven like lightning and became Satan for his rebellion against God.

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father God, please help us to understand the true origin of authority, even natural authority. Help us Lord, to walk within the bounds of that authority just as if it were You yourself laying it down before us. Because in effect you are. Help us Lord, to not resist the authorities You have placed over us, but to learn to flow with them. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Saturday Oct. 21, 2023

Praising God

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
1 Chronicles 29:11 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do you know how and do you regularly praise God?
Praise is letting God know we recognize Him for who He is, what He has done, and what He is doing (His promises in His Word.) But more than informing God of His greatness, praise is rejoicing before Him in His greatness and recognizing that not only is His grace and mercy without comparison, His majesty and Might and Holiness and Faithfulness and Righteousness and Love and Forgiveness and Justice and, and, and … are without comparison. Praise is thankful celebration that He is God in our lives even when things around us are a mess. Praise is our thankful appreciation that even more importantly He is our God and that we are His Children.

MY PRAYER…
Great and Gracious God without comparison, You are truly worthy of my best praise and best thoughts and best imaginings. I give you ALL praise and ALL glory as I humbly submit myself to You, I rejoice that You are who You are, I celebrate in what You have done, and long for what You are yet to do. I know that all god things come down from the Father of light and that You only do good things for Your children. You are magnificent, my Father and my God. Through Jesus, and His matchless love, I praise you.
Amen

TODAY’S MANNA for Friday Oct. 20, 2023

A King And A Priest

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:5-6 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
My Bible says I am both a king and Priest unto God through Jesus my Lord! I am a saint as soon as I am born again, I don’t have to wait to be canonized by some priest after I have died. What bible are you reading? Are you a king and a priest?
The revelation of John relates once again to us that we have been cleansed, had our sins washed away, by the Blood of Jesus. Notice it says by His own Blood, not just by blood, to infer that of animal sacrifices as in the old covenant. God makes it real plain here in His Word that it is NOTHING but the Blood of Jesus (His only begotten Son) that cleanses us and makes us whole again in His sight. Oh but He doesn’t stop there, we have a new and better covenant now. Jesus has also made us kings and priests unto God with that cleansing.

What can wash away my sins?
NOTHING but the Blood of Jesus!
What can make me whole again?
NOTHING but the Blood of Jesus!

There is NO other way except through Jesus!

MY PRAYER…
Father, I thank You for sending me Your Son Jesus. Thank You Lord that His Blood has the power to cleanse and wash me white as snow. Thank You Father that I was able to give You my old tattered garments and through Jesus You have given me a royal robe of righteousness, pure and white. Thank You Father that You not only made a way for me, but Jesus was willing to pay the price for me. Father help me to be worthy of the price paid for me.
In Jesus’ Holy name and by the power of His precious Blood I pray.
Amen
