  • Prayer empowers our walk!

    Scripture reading for January 2nd:  Genesis 4-7, Matthew 2

    Key Scriptures:  Genesis 6:9-14  “These are the generations of Noah.  Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation.  Noah walked with God.  And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence.   And God saw the earth and behold it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.  And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them.  Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.  Make yourself an ark of gopher wood.””  

    In just a few generations from Adam and Eve, mankind had become totally corrupted and were corrupting the earth with violence.  God took note and told one righteous man, Noah, about His planned judgment.  God instructed Noah to build an ark as a means of escape and protection for himself, his family, and the animal creation.  Noah walked with God, heard and obeyed, saving himself and mankind through His obedience!

    Matthew 2:19-20  “But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Rise, take the child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.”  And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.”

    Prayer:  Lord, give me sensitivity to Your voice through the Holy Spirit, dreams, and angelic ministers.  Keep me walking with you and protect me and my family from the traps of the devil in these last days.  Amen.

     

  • Walking with God

    Scripture reading for January 1st:  Genesis 1-3, Matthew 1

    Key Scriptures:  Genesis 3:8-12, “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.  But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”  And he said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.  He said, “Who told you you were naked?  Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”  The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me; she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate””

    God created Adam and Eve to have fellowship with Him.  He placed them in a beautiful garden, with everything they needed and gave them responsibility and dominion over it.  The only tree that they were commanded not to eat from was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  But Eve was deceived by the serpent and Adam disobeyed God and failed to protect his wife.  This brought fear of punishment from God into man’s life and shame separated man from sweet fellowship with their Creator Father.  But God had a plan to restore mankind through the “Seed of woman.”

    Matthew 1:20-21 “But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”  

    Prayer:  Father God, we humbly acknowledge our tie to the first Adam and Eve in that we have sinned and separated ourselves from walking with You.  As we begin this new year, we ask for grace to hear your call and to walk with You in faith and instead of drawing back in fear.  In the Name of Jesus Christ, Son of God!  Amen.
