Our Daily Devotion Determines Our…DESTINY!
 
“Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name forever and ever” (Psalms 145:2). 
 
“Give us this day our daily bread”  (Matthew 6:11).
 
“ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).
 
Day means an opportunistic time and extended period of time. From a science perspective it is one spin of the earth on its axis. Forever and ever means beyond time, this is truly daily devotion.
 
Our Daily Devotion Should Include the Following:
 
1.  Corporate prayer:  The essence of Luke 11:1-4 and Matthew 6:9-13 was to teach his disciples to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Prayer is a learned behavior that is taught by those who practice and live it daily. We cannot inherit it or borrow it through our “born again” experience, church membership or family name. Jesus is teaching a prayer class on corporate prayer for the Body of Christ.  Note, the words and phrases that denote this is corporate prayer: “our father which art in heaven; give us this day, our daily bread; forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” Corporate prayer must address where God is, His holy name, His Kingdom, His will, His bread, forgiveness and deliverance from evil.  Praying corporately brings purpose and power to our lives. When we pray corporately the miraculous happens and the lost is shaken (Acts 4:31). Prayer makes us perfect (mature).
 
2.  Worship:  Is absolute surrender to one who is superior (Psalms 95:6).  Worship also includes magnification (Psalms 34:3).  We can’t make God bigger. We need the proper instruments to magnify God. The Old Testament is the telescope and the New Testament is the microscope to show us who God is through His Word. We can’t magnify God without His Word.
 
3.  Study the Word of God:  Jesus wants to see your face in His face every day (Psalms 27:8; Psalms 105:4).  Don’t let the earth spin on its axis one day without reading and meditating in the Word of God. To experience and have all that God has designed for us, we must have a relationship with our Bibles (The Word). Acts 17:11 “…searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Daily scriptures memorization is one of the most powerful and rewarding activities that we can encounter in our walk with God.
 
4. Consistency in performing our assignments in the Kingdom :  “And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ”  (Acts 5:42). Consistency is the jewel of effective daily devotion. Consistency starts out as a discipline but quickly becomes a habit. In order to reach our goals and complete our assignments in the Kingdom of God, there are certain things we must do every day: whether it is reading, writing, praying, walking, eating, taking vitamins, etc. Once we have determined what needs to be done daily, weekly, monthly or annually, we should practice consistency as a discipline until it becomes a habit.  “Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name forever and ever”  (Psalms 145:2). The number one obstruction to our daily devotion is lack of consistency.  Consistency in our daily devotion to God will take us where talents and gifts cannot.

Spring 90 Day Prayer Journey

It is almost time again for our  Spring 90 Day Prayer Journey  for our beloved prodigals.  As in the past, we will begin on  Wednesday, April 1 . Our theme this year is 'Welcome Home.' 

We pray and fast for our prodigals to return, but have we thought about the personal responsibility and commitment of loving them home and then loving them to complete restoration?  Loving prodigals requires a cost; a complete trust in Our Heavenly Father and submitting fully to the process within us and them.  

As the rooster crowed the second time on that early morning in Jerusalem, the Apostle Peter realized what he had done.  He had failed Jesus.  We can only imagine how he must have felt.  Jesus knew.  He didn't send a word of reprimand, or "Remember what I said you would do," or "I told you so." He didn't put him through steps of earning back his place with the eleven.  
 
Peter didn't need to be told how wrong he was.  He already knew, just as our beloved prodigals know.  Jesus simply had the young man dressed in white by the tomb that day to include Peter by name when he announced the instructions to the women where they could go to find Jesus.  That was His 'Welcome Home' sign.  He could return and he would be safe.  Just come home.  Your welcome is waiting.  He even trusted him with the message of The Gospel on The Day of Pentecost. 
 
Having the heart of Jesus with our prodigals takes time in His presence and The Word.  It takes much intentional preparation and commitment.  It takes spiritual warfare and rest; rest in our minds and bodies.  It takes persistent childlike faith and trust.  

We love them when they do not deserve to be loved just as Jesus loved us and sacrificed His all for us when we were yet in sin and unlovable.  The heart of Jesus says you may not feel you deserve to be loved but, "I want you home.  You are welcome.  I am here until you are healed and whole.  I won't preach to you.  I won't quote or send scriptures in text.  I won't re-preach sermons.  I won't look for opportune times to manipulate your thoughts.  I won't judge or condemn you when you fall.  I won't try to change you.  I'll trust Jesus to do that.  I'm just going to love you.  His Spirit within you will lead and guide you.  We can trust that process.  You and He will do this together.  With healthy boundaries understood by both of us, I commit to love you until..."
 
As we approach the eleventh 90 Days of Prayers For Our Prodigals Prayer Journey, let us think and pray about The Father in Luke 15.  His heart had been in preparation while waiting for his wayward son.  We don't know how long the son was gone.  We just know that 'gone' can mean anything.  Praying and preparing in trust takes intentional focus; not on just the son but also on The Father.  When the son returned, the Father's heart received (Greek: dechomai...warmly receptive, welcoming) him.  He had no fear of the days ahead or the restoration process.  His heart was perfectly aligned and prepared.  

Lord, prepare our hearts as we pray for Your covenant children's return to You. There has been no greater or more important time on God's timeline up to this time for bringing home Your Covenant Sons and Daughters! Let us be mindful of the work You desire first in us.  Help us to align our 'Welcome Home' with Yours.  In Jesus Name, amen.  

With a deep longing for the harvest,
Don and Dy Anne Long

We've been praying, we've been sowing.
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain.
We're hungry, we're thirsty for YOU. We want YOU.
We're patiently waiting for YOU.  We need YOU. 
Song by William McDowell 
What an exciting time for Apostolics, Christians, believers of God!  If you're afraid, read God's promises again.  Read the prophecies of His Holy Word.  Remember how God took care of His people.  This is a time to pray, be wise, obey, and walk circumspectly.   The Godly men and people of the Bible went through trials. They submitted to the ruler over them.  God brought them through and He brought them OUT!  He'll do it again! 
Prayer Request for Prodigals

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:" Isaiah 46:9,10 (KJV)
Spring POA HOPE PRAYER Team is READY!

We will again pray together the book, PRAYERS FOR PRODIGALS ...90 Days of Prayers For ALL prodigals, by Dr. James Banks:  April 1- June 30.God's Word will be fulfilled. What He's done before, He will do it again. Our theme is WELCOME HOME. "And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border." Jeremiah 31:17 (KJV) 
 
Get your 'welcome' ready. Freshen the best robe. Fatten the calf, shine the ring and shoes!  Set the table in great anticipation. Speak of the glorious things God has done and is already doing.Look out the door and down the road with an expectant heart! Align your spirit and will with The Father to give a Luke 15 'Welcome Home' to your beloved prodigal.
