John 14:26 – Holy Spirit…Helper
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name. He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. -(John 14:26 NKJV)
Signs and Wonders
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. (Acts 6:8 NKJV)
Every one of us needs miracles and wonders. The two things that precede miracles and wonders are faith and power. POWER means “miracle-working power” or “the fullness of the Holy Spirit.”
To be filled with faith, we must be full of God’s Word and full of the Holy Spirit. We must pray, live, and walk in the Spirit in order to see wonders and miracles.
Sometimes our faith may seem weak or just neutral. 
At one service I felt led to pray for people who had foot problems. Afterward, a woman came up to me and said, “Please come look at my daughter.” The woman’s daughter was walking up the steps to the platform with great joy.
I said to the woman, “What happened?” She said, “Several years ago my daughter crushed the bones of her feet, and she could hardly walk. But now she’s walking normally.” When we go after God’s Word, miracles will come after us.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We pray today that we will be so committed to the Word and to the power of the Holy Spirit that signs and wonders will truly follow us. We give all the glory and praise to Jesus.
Amen

Your words have power. You can bless or curse yourself and your family by what you say. By speaking the blessings from God’s Word, you release God’s best into your situation. – Marilyn Hickey
Matthew 6:33-Seek His Kingdom
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. -(Matthew 6:33 NKJV)
Preserving Peace – Ephesians 4:3
Being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3 NKJV)
Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!
(Psalm 148:2-3 NKJV)
Whether in the heavenly, earthly, or subterranean realms, the command to praise calls all of creation to fulfill their purpose for existence.
If you have ever questioned the reason for your existence, know that your purpose is to exalt God for His wisdom, which is exhibited in creation, and to adore God because of His incomprehensible love, which you experience through redemption.
Take heed to the exhortation in Psalm 148 and rejoice in any or all its verses.
Lift your heart and join with the angels, the sun, the moon, and the stars in joyous exaltation of the Lord most high!

Matthew 21:22
You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it. -(Matthew 21:22 NKJV)
Hang on to the Rope of God’s Hope
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father. (1 Thessalonians 1:3 NKJV)
There are three things in this verse that stand out to me, and I know that you will love them just as I do:
Faith can work, love can labor, and hope can give you patience. If we feel we have faith, yet do nothing, 
we don’t really have faith. If we say we have love, yet do nothing, we don’t really have love. If we say we have hope, then we will be patient until we see the manifestation of what God has for us.
HOPE in the Hebrew means “rope.” I believe God lets His rope down from heaven so we can tie a knot in it and hold onto it until we see the manifestation of our faith and our love.
Rahab had hope in God’s Word. She even put a red rope in her window. Her wall stood when other walls fell. When other people’s walls fall, their lives fall down too. If you hang onto the rope of God’s hope, your wall will stand.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We know that it is through faith and patience that we inherit Your promises. We make a decision to hold on to faith and to have patience until we see the fulfillment of Your promises.
In Jesus’s Name,
Amen

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. -(Ephesians 1:3)
What Cannot be Inherited
One thing that cannot be passed down from one generation to the next is the most important thing of all—a personal 
relationship with Jesus Christ. God doesn’t have any grandchildren. Every person is required to accept Jesus as Savior, as an act of his or her own will and faith. Every person must choose to follow Jesus as Lord, again as an act of his or her own will and faith.
Certainly, all Christian parents want to see their children choose Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Even more than we desire this, God desires this. He wants our children and grandchildren to be in intimate relationship with Him and to serve Him all the days of their lives.
The enemy of our souls, however (Jesus called him the thief and robber, the father of all lies, and the devil), desires to stop God’s truth from operating beyond our own lives and generation.
Thankfully, our God is victorious in all things!

Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord…
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. – (Psalm 127:1 NKJV)
One Nation Under God
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Psalm 33:12a NKJV)
Did you know that the United States began its life as a Christian nation? 
Our forefathers fled to this country so that they could worship God in the manner they wished. Our constitution, our Declaration of Independence, and our Bill of Rights all mention God. We were birthed as a nation of God, and we are blessed for it.
God has used America to bless the world. Our confidence is in God—it is even printed on our money! There are certainly tremendous needs in our nation today, but there are also tremendous Christians who are taking God’s Word to intercede for this country. We are the salt that preserves this nation—let’s not lose our saltiness. We are the light that overcomes the darkness of this nation—let’s not hide our lights under a bushel.
Let’s stand boldly in God, speak against evil, pray, and believe God for the miraculous outpouring of His Spirit upon all flesh in the United States.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You today that our nation is blessed because of the Christians who are praying and believing You. Thank You for doing great and mighty things in our midst and raising up laborers and intercessors.
In Jesus’s Name,
Amen.
