LIGHTBEARERS: Morning Manna October 6

LIGHTBEARERS

God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  1 John 1:5-7 KJV

Anyone who loves another brother or sister is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.  1 John 2:10 NLT

True love exposes darkness.  One can see clearly when it is light.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  Matthew 5:16 KJV

NEW LIFE: Morning Manna October 5

 

THE NEW LIFE

With the Lord's authority I say this: Live no longer as the unbelievers do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against Him.  Ephesians 4:17-18 NLT

Don't use foul or abusive language.  Stop bickering.  Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. 

Remember, He has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.  Ephesians 4:29-32 NLT

Count the Cost

COUNT THE COST

A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them,

"If you want to be My disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be My disciple.  And if you do not carry your own cross and follow Me, you cannot be My disciple.

But don't begin until you count the cost."  Luke 14:25-28 NLT

Know that you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are My followers.  Matthew 24:9 NLT

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.  John 15:20 KJV

Be prepared.

THE WORKS: Morning Manna October 4

THE WORKS

Jesus (Yashua) raised the dead, opened blind eyes, cast out legions of demonic spirits.  (Matthew 9:18-26, Matthew 9:27-31, Mark 5:1-19).

Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And He healed every kind of disease and illness.  Matthew 9:35

Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.  John 14:12 NLT

He said to His disciples, "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields."  Matthew 9:37-38 NLT

HIS WORD: Morning Manna October 3

THE POWER OF HIS WORD

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. 

It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the One to whom we are accountable.  Hebrews 4:12-13

"The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with My word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it."  Isaiah 55:10-11

The Sovereign LORD has given us His words of wisdom, so that we know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning He will waken us and open our understanding to His will.  Isaiah 50:4

CONFESSION: Morning Manna October 2

THE POWER OF CONFESSION

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.  James 5:16 NLT

Once sin is confessed we break its hold over us.  Then we have restored fellowship with God and others.  The key is to confess.

"But don't be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.  Matthew 10:26 NLT

Cleanse thou me from secret faults (sins).  Psalms 19:12 KJV

RETURN: Morning Manna October 1

RETURN

The LORD said, "These people are stubborn rebels who refuse to pay attention to the LORD's instructions. They tell the seers, "Stop seeing visions!" They tell the prophets, "Don't tell us what is right. Tell us nice things. Tell us lies. Forget all this gloom. Get off your narrow path. Stop telling us about your 'Holy One of Israel.'"  Isaiah 30:9-11

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.  Isaiah 30:15 NLT

So the LORD must wait for you to come to Him so He can show you His love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for His help.  Isaiah 30:18 NLT

Stand in the gap for the rebels who have wandered away.  Pray that the LORD will bless them with a spirit of repentance.  Let them know that the LORD is waiting.

It is time to return.
