God is Calling Your Name

God is Calling Your Name
-Roy Lessin, Jesus Name Above All Names

Starting with a humble birth in a stable, God draws you to a place of worship, leads you to the quiet waters of salvation, shares the peace of His presence, reveals the simplicity of the cross, and offers the utterly amazing gift that only Love could give—His only begotten Son.

If you feel a longing to know more about God and eternal life through His Son, open your heart to Him through this prayer:

Jesus, thank You that You came to earth and died on a cross so that I can be forgiven. I admit that I am a sinner—I have done wrong and I need Your grace, mercy, and forgiveness. I turn from my sins and say "no" to a life of living for myself. I turn to You and say "yes" to Your will for my life. Thank You for being my Savior. I ask You now to forgive my sin. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for giving me new life, eternal life. Amen.

My Monday Prayer: A Prayer of Peace
By Roy Lessin

Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are the Prince of Peace and that You have promised to give me Your peace. I receive Your peace, the peace that passes all understanding, the peace that assures me of Your presence, the peace that confirms Your love, the peace that guards my every thought and each emotion.

Thank You that You have come, not to trouble me, but to give me Your rest; not to confuse me, but to give me clarity; not to bind me, but to free me; not to stress me, but to quiet me. Thank You for a peace that endures the trial, overcomes the battle, conquerors the foe, and keeps me steady through the storm.
 
Thank You, Lord, for complete peace, for perfect peace, for a peace that keeps my heart from being troubled. Come now and fill me with Your peace. Thank You for the perfect peace that comes when I put my trust in You. Let it wash over me and flood my innermost being. Show me the ways of peace, keep in the paths of peace, guide me in the decisions that lead to peace. Jesus, be my peace today.

Scriptures: Isaiah 9:6, John 14:27, Luke 1:79, Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 29:11, Psalm 55:18, Psalm 85:8, Isaiah 26:3, 32:17, 54:10, 57:19, Romans 14:17, 15:33, Colossians 3:15

Fret-Free Friday: What Makes Prayer Possible?

 Fret-Free Friday: What Makes Prayer Possible? -Roy Lessin

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

Each of us has a need to pray and we carry many requests in our hearts. But have you ever wondered why we can pray at all? How is it possible for us, who by nature are unholy, to come confidently and boldly before a holy God?

God does not hear or answer prayer based upon our merit. Thankfully, God has not left it up to us to earn our way into His presence.

The way for us to come confidently and boldly to God in prayer is by the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ blood is the perfect, complete, and eternally acceptable way into God’s presence. Without the blood of Jesus none of us could come before God and pray.

We cannot add to Jesus’ blood atonement and we cannot diminish its power. Our good deeds do not gain us access to God, and our failures do not cancel our access.

Whenever you draw near to God in prayer always keep your eyes of faith upon the blood of Jesus. If you look upon yourself, instead of Jesus’ blood, your prayer life will suffer and the devil will quickly accuse you of being unworthy, or tempt you to “do more” so you can become worthy.

How precious is the blood of Jesus. His blood cleanses you, covers you, and makes the throne of God a place of grace and not judgement.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

And having a high priest over the house of God;

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. -Hebrews 10:19-23

Jesus: All in All

Jesus: All in All
-Roy Lessin, Jesus Name Above All Names

Christ is all, and in all. -Colossians 3:11

In baseball, if one team scores all the runs, the other team is shut out. If one candidate receives all the votes in an election, the other candidate loses by a landslide. If a doctor tells you to take all of your medicine, he wants nothing left over. The word all is another way God affirms to us who Jesus, His Son, truly is. If Jesus is the all of God, it means that God has eliminated every other option.

Although it has only three letters, the word all has huge implications. All means total, complete, or whole. Jesus Christ is God's All in All.

All things are reconciled by Jesus—"By Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross" (Colossians 1:20 NKJV). And all promises are fulfilled in Jesus—"For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding 'Yes!' And through Christ, our 'Amen' (which means 'Yes) ascends to God for his glory" (2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT). 

All God's fullness, all God's treasures of wisdom and knowledge, all God's authority, all God's power, all God's blessings, all God's promises are yours today if you are in Christ. God has no other plan, no other purpose, no other provision,  and no other person for you other than Jesus Christ.

My Monday Prayer for the Week...
A Prayer of Help, Protection, and Deliverance

Lord, I thank you that You are a Warrior, and You never know defeat; You are a Conqueror and every enemy is under Your feet; You are a Deliverer and every foe will sound retreat.

I thank You, O God, that you preserve me. I take refuge in You and I am safe from every cloud of darkness, from every voice of condemnation, from every thought of defeat and despair. I put my trust and confidence in You alone. I lean on You, for You will not falter or faint. You are my support and keep me from falling. You are my high tower and keep me from fleeing. You are my confidence and keep me from fearing.

Thank You, God, for being with me, beside me, behind me, and before me. You are always at my right hand and keep me secure. What joy it brings to know that when I call to You, You answer me. You are my perfect refuge from every storm and battle.

Thank You for being my sure place, and for providing me with the safe place under the shadow of Your wings. Lord, arise and rescue me from all evil, from every lie, and from every bondage. I stand upon You as my rock, I abide in You as my fortress. You are my covering. You are my shield. Thank You for saving me and for rescuing me from my enemies. You always hear my cry for help.

Scriptures: Psalm 16, 17, 18
