Association’s Inspirational Notes

CHAPTER ONE

CHAPTER ONE

Notes 1 - 20

1. God We Pray You’re Blessings

Father, I pray today that You will bless Your word, and that Jesus we lifted up around the world to the unbeliever, and that this Ministry will be a blessing to the believers.  I ask You, Heavenly Father, to bless each one that hears or reads these words about You and what You did for our Salvation, Bless them Lord and put a hedge of protection around each one today.  In Jesus name we ask.   Amen.

2. Jesus Paid it All

I shall never forget the price that was paid for my sinfulness, and that without the Lord Jesus my righteousness would be nothing more than a filthy rag to You Holy Father, only through Jesus and His shed blood, that covers my sin as a crimson river flows over me, can You have fellowship with me.  How great a friend is Jesus to me, that He would give His life for, not only me, but for the whole world?  Amen.

3. Thank God for the Gospel

Our Father who art in Heaven, we come together as believers, accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, believing in our hearts that Jesus, the Christ, the one and only Son of God, suffered death on the cross, was buried, and on the third day, God raised Him from the dead and He lives with the Father God in His heavenly home, sitting at the right hand of the Father.  This is the Gospel.  Once we believe on Jesus we are saved by God’s grace and we can take assurance that we are saved and that nothing can take us out of His hand.  Praise God and lift up the name of Jesus. Hallelujah Amen.

4. Wearing the Breastplate of Righteousness

When we put on the breastplate of righteousness we seek to be Christians who know that a life of integrity, is one where we can honestly deal with our failures – and help others to do the same. Sin is still sin. Failure is still failure. God’s standard is still the only standard. Let’s be equipped with this breastplate of righteousness.

--A breastplate that enables us to deal with failure.

--A breastplate that opens up a whole new world of integrity and Christian witness....

--A breastplate which enables us to say, I will never be able to stand on my own but I will always stand when I trust in Christ alone.

5. My Heart Belongs to God

Always remember the Breastplate we wear, in this spiritual battle, is forged with the blood of Jesus Christ, and is stronger than any weapon that Satan can throw at us. This Breastplate we wear functions on the principle of forgiveness. We can never allow ourselves to be taken in by the lie, that we will never be good enough for God, instead, we must strive for consistency, in that when we fail, we look to God and say to ourselves, Despite what it looks like, my heart still belongs to God.

6. We pray for God's Mercy

I ask now for Your mercy and healing on those that are sick and afflicted with disease and disabilities.  Father there are so many, some stand on the edge of eternity, some know You and others do not.  We lift them up for compassion from You that they would be healed and made anew, but mostly I pray for those that don’t know You and stand in the path of Your judgment and punishment for their sin.   Father in the name of Jesus, forgive me of wrong doing, I confess my sin unto You Father. I claim the promise, when You said that if I confess my sin, that You were faithful and just to forgive me.  Thank You Father for forgiving me.

7. God Loves Us All

As I walk my Christian path through life, I know that the devil follows right on my footsteps trying to trip me up. Sometimes he does and I stumble, sometimes I fall completely and other times I catch him before he acts, but one thing I know for certain, I might stumble and sometimes I might fall, but Jesus is with me all the time to help me and pick me up.

Yes the devil knows we will reap what we sow. He knows that we have to answer to God for the mess we allow him to get us into. But I want you to understand that we have a loving, forgiving and caring Father who wants to forgive you of everything that you have done. He loves you more than anyone could. He loves us unconditionally. Thank you Jesus for helping me.

8. We Don't Walk Alone

As I walk through this world of sorrows, sickness and pain, I see so many standing on the cliff of eternity and I have to ask myself, Where are they going?  Do they believe and realize there is an eternity awaiting them.  Death awaits everyone, unless Jesus returns, so many are still left out in sin, not knowing or realizing their need for salvation.  As believers it is our responsibility to tell this world about Jesus and that by believing in Him we can be saved by God's Grace.  God's Amazing Grace that saved a wretch like me.  If we believe and trust Jesus, we will never have to walk alone, when death comes Jesus will walk us through the unknown.  It is so comforting to know I have a friend like Jesus that knows the unknown and is willing to lead me there to be with Him forever more.

9. Pray For America

Lord Jesus, I lift up America in prayer Lord, that You may find some faith in it still, and that Your Mercy and peace might be upon it.  I know we have sinned, and lost our way throughout the generations, but Lord there are still millions, and millions of people in this land that love and worship You.  I lift up our leaders that they may realize, that even they, need to be led, and only led by You Jesus.  Lord help this nation that we would turn back to the Bible, and that we would stand with Your people Israel.  People act and respond the way they do about situations, because they do not understand, and we pray for them as well. Lord Jesus we, Your children, know we are in those last days, we pray for Your mercy, and Your grace, not for ourselves, but the lost, the unbeliever, praying that they may turn from their evil ways, and realize how much You care, and love them.  That they would be drawn to repentance by the Holy Spirit before it is eternally to late.  Each hour that passes brings us closer to our eternal home.  Thank You Lord Jesus for Your love and mercy, and that by Your grace we are saved by believing on Jesus Christ.  It is in His name we pray.  Amen.

10. Let Us Worship

I pray that each and every one will attend a Church or Preaching service of their choice today. In this country we have so much to be thankful for, even though we have many problems, God continues to show His love, mercy and long-suffering with our country. Yes in many ways America has lost its way, but God can place it back on the correct path, it takes people like us to pray and seek the face of God, and then He will hear us and heal our land. Worship today and let God know you really care.

11. Believe or Not to Believe

All throughout the history of the world man has disobeyed God, most never knowing Him others knew Him but would not worship Him, believing they had a much greater thing within themselves through their human abilities, but found that they had only deceived themselves, their eternal future was sealed by their decision to believe or not to believe. Their eternal future is based solely on their decision while on earth.  Do I believe in Jesus death, burial, and resurrection or do I believe what I see.  Christians believe by faith, God teaches us to believe by faith through His divine Word that we may be directed in the path that leads to holiness and eternal life. Jesus said, No one comes to the Father except through Me.

12. True Conviction

Do I know conviction of sin?  If so, I would not repeat the same sin.  It is not just being disturbed about doing something wrong, it is about true conviction that blots out every relationship on earth, and only leaves the relationship with God of whom I have sinned against.  God can only forgive sins because of the cross of Calvary.  God is satisfied with the payment of sin through Jesus Christ.  I am identified with God because of Jesus.  Redeemed from unholy to holy, a standard of God Himself I have a new disposition, the disposition of Jesus.  To Jesus, All I owe.  Jesus died and suffered for my sin, He never sinned, yet He took my sin.  We must remember the tragedy that God suffered by sacrificing Jesus, His only begotten son on the cross that day, to save a wicked wretch like me.  How great a love is this?

13. DISSATISFACTION

Upon noticing my dissatisfaction sometimes with myself, seeking, but not finding, I must relate my condition to myself and none other. God is always true and faithful and He being all sovereign is justified in all He does, whether it is for me or against me. However, the bible teaches that God is always for me, yet when I am disobedient and not in Gods fellowship then I have stepped away from Him and changed my situation. So when I take in to consideration all that has be...en said, it is my fault I am dissatisfied. God will not move yet He allows us to freely move and then I realize there is no satisfaction or peace without Him and He always desires that we come back to Him. So when I feel separated from God, it is because of me and not Him. He is my Heavenly Father and is only one prayer away. I pray that you can say today that He is your Father also.

14. When Death Arrives

When the mystery of death arrives I will fear, because that is the nature of man, however spiritually, I know that God has angels all around me. They stand by as protectors, with their flaming swords drawn ready to stand against the evilness of this place where I live. They are protecting and waiting for the last heartbeat, and that last breath and then they will lead me to my Savior, Jesus. The journey will not be long, because the bible says that when I draw my last breath in this place, I will instantly draw my first breath there. When I close my eyes in those final seconds, I will immediately open them to sites unseen. I will be met there, I believe, by hundreds and hundreds of people who will know me, friends and family, even those whom I have touched in my ministry, yes they will all be there. No one can even imagine the beauty of this place, the beautiful singing, the running river of life, walking and talking with love ones, who have gone on before, and can you even think or imagine what it will be like to talk to God or Jesus face to face? The thought gives me chill bumps. Yes, death is a sensation of fear sometimes, because we are human and it is only natural, but the results of death opens the doorway to heaven, to eternal life, and of no more suffering, no more pain, only joy and happiness. When that day arrives I will be escorted to the very presence of God and there shall I remain forever and ever. If you do not know Jesus as your personal savior and believe on Him then this will not be your final fate. You will be cast into outer darkness, where there is separation from God and gnashing of teeth. Repent and be saved today, no one knows when death will come, but it will come, to all of us.

15. Working for Jesus

Day in and Day out we lift up the name of Jesus, we preach and teach the Gospel and hope that an unbelieving world might listen. Jesus went about His earthly ministry and never tired. He healed and restored life to the needy, including the blind, the deaf and the lame. He never complained of the hours or the fact that people took advantage of Him, He knew that the decision to believe in Him was a personal one, and that He could not or would not force Himself upon them. Today we are faced with a similar situation, but to believe in Jesus, is still a personal decision that only a person can make, no one can make it for anyone else.
