1 Corinthians 15 : 50=58
KJV


50 Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin;
and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Let Your light shine in our hearts,
the light that can gladden us and lead us
until all our longing is stilled.
May the higher nature born in us become
ever stronger so that the lower and
perishable nature does not rule over us.
Grant that we may overcome and that
our hearts may rejoice in being allowed
to strive for the highest good because
we are Your children who can
share in what is eternal."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

[Charon]

Standing Firm Lord God. Help me. IN Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

2 Timothy 2 : 18-26
KJV


18 Who concerning the truth have erred,
saying that the resurrection is past already;
and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,
having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.
And, let every one that nameth the
name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only
vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth;
and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these,
he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified,
and meet for the master's use,
and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts:
but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace,
with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance
to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves
out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.



Today's Prayer...


We thank You, Father in heaven,

That You concern Yourself with us
and that You bind us to Yourself through all
Your deeds and all your help.
We thank You for showing us a way of hope,
a way that becomes always clearer,
always firmer under our feet.
On this way we can defy every
evil of this world and time, knowing for sure
that everything will come out right
and we will all be brought to the great,
eternal goal, even though we have to
deny ourselves and go through much suffering.
Your kingdom must come to the glory of Your name,
so that all people may live on a
higher plane and follow You,
the only true help and true life."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

And I shall do my best Father God, in Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Psalm 16 : 1-9
KJV


1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord,
Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth,
and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that
hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood
will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance
and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel:
my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

How shall we thank You for all You give to us,
Your children, for the great wisdom and power
You hold in readiness for us if we are childlike?
We want to be glad in Your presence.
We do not want to weep and complain,
though tears often threaten to come.
We simply want to ask You to protect us,
Your children.
Protect all Your children on earth.
Let the pain that breaks over them be taken away,
for the sake of the whole world.
Even when we must follow a hard road,
let all the suffering we endure become part
of the fight that brings in the kingdom of heaven,
bringing Your purpose to the earth and
great mercy to the peoples,
bringing to all the world the wonderful forgiveness
that enables men to be reborn,
until at last all are called Your children.
Sustain us. Help us. Bless us.
May the Savior always live among us,
reviving and strengthening us in body and soul."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

[Charon]

Hallelujah. In Jesus name, amen and amen.

Hebrews 10 : 30-39
KJV


30 For we know him that hath said,
Vengeance belongeth unto me, 

I will recompense,
saith the Lord. And again,
The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days,
in which, after ye were illuminated,
ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock
both by reproaches and afflictions;
and partly, whilst ye became companions
of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds,
and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods,
knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven
a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while,
and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back,
my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back
unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Remind us again and again of
what You have done in our hearts and lives
to make us certain of the resurrection.
Help us to live in this certainty and to
hold fast to everything good and great
which You bring into our lives.
Grant us the assurance that we are gaining
ground in the battle for the redemption of
those who are still in darkness and in the
shadow of death.
May we find joy in what we have here and now.
Give us patience in our struggles.
Give us hope for all that has gone wrong,
because even what is in darkness is still in Your hands.
In the end everything must be brought to the light
so that all humankind may glorify Your great name."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

[Charon]

The Lord shall judge his people.

Find us worthy Oh My Lord and Savior.

Ephesians 5 : 11-22
KJV


11 And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those
things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made
manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith,
Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly,
not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto
God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to
another in the fear of God.



Today's Prayer...


Lord God, our Father in heaven,

We turn to You in these times when
we are under so much stress and temptation.
Let Your light glow in our hearts to give us
firmness, patience, and perseverance throughout the
time of testing, no matter how long it lasts.
Your hand can change everything.
Your hand can shorten the time we must wait
until Your light shines out of the
darkness of death and evil,
until your light reveals your life to Your
children and to the whole world.
You are our God and Father as You have promised,
and remaining at Your side,
we look to You in faith and trust.
You will bring about goodness, justice, and mercy
as You have promised,
and so fulfill Your will."


In the Name of the Most Holy we
