JESUS said,
" All authority
is given unto ME+
in Heaven and in earth."
Matthew 28:18
LET US
PRAY:
O Heavenly FATHER, I
thank THEE that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall
confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD... even all the beings in the Heavens, all
beings and creatures upon this tired earth, and all beings under the earth.
Forgive me, O LORD, for
my own struggles to obey, for my struggles to forgive,
for my struggles to issue love to my enemies. Yes, even my struggle to issue
love to those who love me.
How long, O LORD, must I
be "ever learning" yet never able to put into PRACTICE Thy+ Truths without
a struggle ?
I cry to THEE+ to help me put
Self upon Thy+ Cross before the battle to obey begins. Help me to grow into JOYFUL obedience... that
kind of obedience that DELIGHTS to obey instead of reluctantly knowing that I
"must" (sigh) obey THEE+, O LORD .
Therefore, I humble my Self
to Thy+ LORDSHIP, even in these small matters that affect my soul and spirit.
Then perhaps, in due season, it
may be said of me also, " The effectual , fervent
prayer of a righteous man
availeth much."
THOU+ hast turned for me
my mourning into dancing:
THOU+ hast put off my sackcloth,
and girded me with gladness;
To the end that my glory
may sing praise to THEE+,
and not be silent.
O LORD my God,
I will give thanks unto THEE+ for ever.
Psalm 30: 11-12
JESUS CHRIST the LORD
" WHO+
gave Himself+ for our
sins,
that HE+ might deliver us
from this present evil world,
according to the will of GOD
and our FATHER. "
Galatians 1:4
