Wednesday October 15, 2025 - Son of David

 Chapter 20: Son of David Day 4

Praying the Name:

Matthew 9:27-30 -  When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”


Father, 

    I praise You for Your unlimited power and the grace that You give for us to live in that power and know that power in our lives. I praise You that You do use that power in our lives. 

    Thank You for calling us into Your kingdom. I thank You for the call and pray that You make sure that Laura is in that call and that she does know You in her life and will be in heaven. I pray thank You for loving her and put her into our group that responds to the call. 

    I confess that I am never sure that You use Your power in my life. Forgive me for the unbelief that I have and help me to see You working in our lives. 

    Please do good things to strengthen our faith in You, I ask for some blessings instead of everything falling apart. I pray that I will have the faith that I need to get through the end of this life on earth. 

    

    How does Jesus our Savior the Son of David go about extending and strengthening His kingdom? More than once the gospels link the title Son of David to the healing miracles of Jesus. In one instance two blind men call out to Jesus as the Son of David, in another it is the blind Barutamas and in still another it is a Canaanite woman who begs Jesus to cure her demon possessed daughter, in each case these people confessed two things, both their need and their faith, by addressing Jesus as the Son of David, they are expressing their faith that He is the Messiah who can provide the healing or deliverance they desire and none of them is disappointed, because Jesus confirms their faith by doing as they ask, because they believe in Him. they both experience and display evidence of the new kingdom that is coming. 

    How can we experience the power of the Son of David at work in our lives? Like the two blind men we need to cry out to Jesus. Expressing both our faith in Him and our desire to experience His healing, delivering power, as we do we must seek first His kingdom and not our own. One way to do this is to follow the advice of AB Simson who said, "You can take Christ as the king of your life by giving Him your difficulties, and adversaries to overcome, permitting Him to subdue all His enemies and yours, and reign as Lord of all.

    Everything that comes up in your life is but another opportunity of giving Him a larger and richer crown. Simson's words made me wonder about my own difficulties. What things in my life did Christ want to subdue?  As I prayed, I began to think about the deep-seated persistent anxiety I often experience with regard to my children, lately these worries have felt like a constant pressure, making me irritable and impatient towards them. I began by asking the Lord's forgiveness, for all my anxious efforts to control my children asking Him to reshape this area in my life with His wisdom, peace and power. It is a prayer that I am still praying expressing my faith in Jesus, and asking Him to extend His reign and rule over my family as a way of extending His kingdom in and through us. 

    What difficulties do you face? What would happen if you asked for the grace to see every difficulty as an opportunity as Simson says for giving Jesus the Son of David a larger and richer crown, extending His rule in over and around you. Start today by asking Jesus to be the King of your loneliness your sorrow, your hurts and your weaknesses. Let God's Spirit uncover areas in your life that are not yet fully under Christs rule. Expose each one to Him in prayer, expressing your faith that He is indeed the Son of David the Lord who is able to heal and deliver you. The King who wants to extend the boundaries of His kingdom by virtue of what He is doing in you.

Sunday July 13, 2025 - King of Kings

 Chapter 7: King of Kings Day 1 The Name:     The world has never seen a King like Christ, a ruler mightier than any earthly sovereign and more powerful than the unseen power of the universe. Though He entered the world humbly as an infant born in Bethlehem, the magi from the east still recognized Him as the new born King. Though His reign unfolds in hidden ways He has promised to come again at which time He will reveal Himself as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.      When you pray to Jesus the King of Kings call to mind His mastery not only over human beings but over nature, desease, and death itself.  Revelation 19:16 -    And   He has on   His   robe and on His thigh a name written:  KING OF KINGS AND  LORD OF LORDS. Father,      Thank You for being our King of Kings. I pray that soon You will come back to earth in Your true life as our King. We are so ready for You to rule this earth and for those o...

Chapter 15: Lord Day 4  Praying the Name:  Philippians 2:5-11 -    Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,  6  who, being in the form of God, did not consider it  [ a ] robbery to be equal with God,  7  but  [ b ] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant,  and  coming in the likeness of men.  8  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to  the point of  death, even the death of the cross.  9  Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  10  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  11  and  that  every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ  is  Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Father,     I praise You for the V...

Monday June 9, 2025 - Light of the World!!

 Chapter 2: Light of the World Day 2 The Name Revealed!! John 1:3-9 -  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.    In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.  There was a man sent from God, whose name  was  John.  This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.  He was not that Light but  was sent  to bear witness of that Light.  That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. John 8:12 -  Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,  “I am the light of the world. He who   follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” Understanding the name:  The Hebrew scriptures are full of images that link God with light. Pillars of fire, burning lamps, consumi...
