The Call to Obey


Praise You, Holy Father!  Praise You, Creator!  Praise You for Your Wonders are unending!  You are eternal!  You are forever!  Praise You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, giving Himself up as a ransom for us!  Thank You for the supreme sacrifice made us to become children of God! 

Just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience.  Romans 11:30

The Call of Abram  12:1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” 

Thank You for coming for all of us, that we all would repent and be saved and baptized in the Name of  Jesus Christ!  The Easter story lives on!  Death does not have the last word.  Death where is your sting ~ there is none because He lives and we, the children of God get to live forever, too!

Lord, help me to be gracious as You are gracious.  Help me to obey You.  Help me to glorify You.  Help me to not think of me first!  Help me to serve You and others.  Help me to see others as You see them.  Help me to love the unloving.  Help me to show mercy to others.  Forgive me for my sins – to complain is out of selfishness.  Help me to love like You love! 

Lord, I pray for family members, friends and strangers to know You as Lord and Savior.  I pray for them to seek You first in all things.  I pray for a strong relationship with You as that can transform anyone!  I pray for their healing. 

Lord, I pray for my obedience to You, help me to seek You in all things.  Help me to consult You in every decision.  Help me to listen for Your promptings and guidance. Help me to glorify You with a victorious life in Christ! Help me to be healed in body, mind, spirit and soul because You are Jehovah Rapha the God Who Heals.  Help me to live a long and fruitful life to Your excellence.  Help me to strive for Perfection in Christ Jesus.  Help me to love others as You love them.  Give me a desire to be physically strong, mentally awake, spiritually sound and morally straight. Bless my calling in teaching, writing and promoting ministry to Your glory!

I ask all these things in Jesus Christ Name, amen! 
Love, 
Christine
