Amen.. Prayer for Spiritual Warfare (excerpt) Heavenly Father, I place myself now under the cross of Jesus Christ and cover myself with the Precious Blood of Jesus. I surround myself with the light of...

♥MAY 14 MORNING ♥The fellowship of His sufferings. ♥It is enough for the disciple that he be as His master, and the servant as his Lord. ♥He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. ♥In the world ye shall have tribulation. ♥Because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ♥I looked for some to take pity, but there was none. ♥At...

I heard...

I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Woe is me! for I am undone; ... mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord...

MORNING MAY 9 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If in this life if we only hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit.After that ye believed ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession. Jesus saith unto him,...
