Just getting some welding projects done and decided to share some Wisdom on this Thoughtful Thursday! Enjoy!
‘“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.’ Matthew 5:14-16 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/MAT.5.14-16
‘When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.” This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire.’ Hebrews 12:26-29 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/HEB.12.26-29
‘So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.’ 1 Peter 1:6-7 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1PE.1.6-7
‘Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one! Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he opened his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. He remained there blind for three days and did not eat or drink.’ Acts of the Apostles 9:1-9 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/ACT.9.1-9
Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I recognize that You LOVE me and sent Your Son to remove the sin which separates me from You. Father, I respond to Your love and REPENT of ALL past SIN. Please forgive me and cleanse me by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. By faith, Father, I now receive Your forgiveness and cleansing in Jesus Name, and I thank You that Your Word says that I am now brought near by the Blood of Jesus Christ through which I enter BLOOD COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with You today. LORD JESUS CHRIST I invite You to come into my life, and I SUBMIT TOTALLY to You. I ask You to be LORD of my SPIRIT, SOUL (mind, thoughts, will, intellect, and emotions), and my BODY. Now by faith I confess that sin shall no more have dominion over me because your Spirit lives in me. I also confess that I am SAVED; and under covenant through Jesus Christ to receive the promises that are for me (salvation, deliverance, healing, and God’s promises). Yes and Amen! I renounce the lordship of satan or any authority besides Christ over every area of my spirit, soul (mind, thoughts, will, intellect, and emotions), and my body. I renounce every hold or influence of the devil in ALL areas of my life including everything inherited through the generations because the Word tells me I have a NEW FATHER and I only inherit from Him now. (At this point, deal with any specific things such as witchcraft or occult etc. which must be specifically renounced). Lord Jesus, You are the BAPTISER in the HOLY SPIRIT, and I ask You to baptize me with the Holy Spirit and FIRE. I believe by faith that I have the same access to the power of the Holy Spirit and rights to every spiritual gift (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) that You gave to the early Church. So I pray that You will help me live and walk daily in all the fullness of the Spirit-filled life You intended for me. I open my heart for you to fill it now with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
