Monday Oct. 24, 2011 How to start your day!

"Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses (Debts) as we forgive those who trespass against us, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever. Amen"

Good Monday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. I pray you had a blessed weekend and that your day is starting off with God. Please pray today for our leaders, including our President and his family. Pray first for their salvation, and while I am not judging them, I cannot see how they or anyone else who supports abortion can be saved. There it is, I said it, I am sure I will be told about it, but I said it and I mean it. Please warriors, as you look for whom to vote for in any election, please consider voting for those who support life of our unborn children. In plain words, if a person cannot support that child in a womb, how can they be expected to support anything you might want out of a leader? Better yet, why not just let Jesus be your leader? Also on the prayer list today is our veterans, military, police, firefighters, and all who work so hard to keep us healthy and safe. Also pray for Kathy who has cancer and her parents came to me yesterday and asked we pray for God to take her home, she is saved and she is in pain and meds no longer control it... So today we put Kathy in the arms of the Lord for His will to be done. Also please keep praying for Vicki as she has a full plate of health issues.

How to start your day! Matthew 6:9 - "Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses (Debts) as we forgive those who trespass against us, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever. Amen" (Gideon's Edition)

In short this Monday morning I want to tell you that the best way to start your day is with our Lord God. I am talking the very first thing you do in the morning, as you wake up, swing yourself to the side of your bed, and talk to God. Thank Him for another day and if you care to, use the prayer Jesus taught us to pray, or just, just talk to Him.. Remember Jesus is alive and well and is waiting for you 24 hours a day. He will talk to you anytime and I mean He will talk to you. But you must listen. After thanking Him for the day, and again I love this little prayer of mine. "Thank You Jesus for another day, and help me as I want to honor You for giving me this day by living it to please you in all I do." Brothers and sisters, I cannot live it to please Him if I don't talk to Him about it. Did you ever take time just to think about what Jesus might want you to do? We tell Jesus what we need from Him, we tell Him how we feel, and we ask for help from Him (or should) in what we have plans to do, but do we ever just stop and say, "Jesus, what would You like me to do for You this day? How can I be of help to You in Your work here on earth?

I want to take a look this week at a few things that Jesus would like us to do for Him that are spelled out so clearly in the Bible. For now, well, let's talk with Jesus and then let's end the talk with the prayer He taught us to use.

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks for another day, and may I give it back to You by living to please You. Lord, look after our leaders including our President and his family and Lord, I pray first for their souls, all the souls of our leaders. And then I pray for their safety and for them to be working through You in all they do. Lord, be with Kathy as we place her in Your arms for loving care and custody and for Your will to be done with her life and cancer. Yes, Lord, we would love her to be healed and left with us. Be with our veterans and our current military, and please, Lord, bring our fighting warriors home safe and real soon. Please return to us, dear Lord, bringing peace to all... Until then, dear Lord, help us to work for You. Be with Vicki and heal all of her health concerns. Thanks for working with Dolores and for healing her knee. Lord, I need the touch on my right knee today also. Lord, thanks for this line and may I always work it for You. And Jesus thanks for this prayer...

"Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses (Debts) as we forgive those who trespass against us, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever. Amen"

Now go forth singing and praising God and talking to Him, while sharing your blessings He lent to you... Blessings on Loan from God. Share them... Love ya, Pastor Dan.
