Praise
The Lord!!
Start with four steps
1. Come as you are I love you, come the way you are with your brokenness, Inner
wounds. No hopes, insecurity – Matthew 11 28"Come to me, all
you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
2. Give the truth in your heart to the Lord – What is bothering in your heart, it can be your Anger, Hatred, ego, jealousy, etc. - Galatians 5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
3. Surrender your life to the Lord - not by mere words, but from the depths of your soul and give Him the complete ownership of your life. From now on I am in his hands - Matthew 9:13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
4. Wait
in silent communion with the Lord in that state of surrender, and the Lord
will speak to you, and you will be filled with the "Holy Spirit"
- Matthew 3:1111 I baptize you with water for repentance. But
after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit
to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
In those
days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine,
and
being a priest of God Most High,
he
blessed Abram with these words:
"Blessed
be Abram by God Most High,
the
creator of heaven and earth;
and
blessed be God Most High,
who
delivered your foes into your hand."
Then
Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
R. (4b) You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The
LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
till
I make your enemies your footstool."
R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The
scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion:
"Rule
in the midst of your enemies."
R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.
"Yours
is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor;
before
the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you."
R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The
LORD has sworn, and he will not repent:
"You
are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."
R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.
Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and, after he had given thanks,
broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Jesus spoke
to the crowds about the kingdom of God,
and
he healed those who needed to be cured.
As
the day was drawing to a close,
the
Twelve approached him and said,
"Dismiss
the crowd
so
that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms
and
find lodging and provisions;
for
we are in a deserted place here."
He
said to them, "Give them some food yourselves."
They
replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have,
unless
we ourselves go and buy food for all these people."
Now
the men there numbered about five thousand.
Then
he said to his disciples,
"Have
them sit down in groups of about fifty."
They
did so and made them all sit down.
Then
taking the five loaves and the two fish,
and
looking up to heaven,
he
said the blessing over them, broke them,
and
gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
They
all ate and were satisfied.
And
when the leftover fragments were picked up,
they
filled twelve wicker baskets.
Thought for the day
Happy Birthday & Happy Anniversary for those who are celebrating.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord be with You
