Good Morning Jesus

Posted on by jakirkgasser10439

Good Morning Jesus, It’s great to be alive!

 

Every day is important, It is a gift and an opportunity to do great things. Don’t waste a minute of it.

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

How do you start your day? Do you have a way to ensure it will be the best day possible?

The bible offers clear instructions on how to start your day:

Start your day of by connecting to God, drawing near to God, in prayer

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.” Psalm 5:3

“But to You I have cried out, O Lord, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.” Psalm 88:13

Your morning prayer should praise Him and be thankful.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

What should you be thankful for?  You can be thankful for the three essential elements of the universal spiritual process that drives the universe: 

Love applied through Truth creates Goodness

You can be thankful for

His Love (Energy, Power, Warmth, Compassion, Forgiveness, Grace, Mercy),

His Truth (Light, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom), and

His Goodness (The beneficial effects; Creation, Life, Growth, Righteousness, Salvation, Healing, Blessings, Prosperity, Redemption, Protection, Justice)

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34

The psalms do a nice job setting expectations

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations..:” Psalm 100:4-5

“Praise the LORD, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise His holy name.
Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits
— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion” Psalm 103:1-4

So What Might This Look Like?

Here are 20 statements you can use to enter into His gates and give thanks. Say them out loud with conviction every morning and watch how it changes your day.

  1. Good morning Jesus, It is great to be alive with you living inside me. I will sow seeds for your kingdom as I go though this day.

  2. Thank you for creating this wonderful place to live; Your handiwork is evident all around me.

  3. Thank you for loving me; You formed me, You gave me gifts and tallents, and You have great plans for me.

  4. Thank you for loving me so much you suffered and died for me on the cross. You died so I could live a better life through you.

  5. Thank you for never giving up on me no matter how far I have strayed; Your love is unconditional and unchanging.

  6. Thank you for working all thing in my favor; I can’t imagine how bad things would be if you were not helping me.

  7. Thank you for forgiving my sins; Your blood washes me clean. I no longer have condemnation or shame. I can focus on the future.

  8. Thank you for helping me forgive others; All your children struggle in this fallen world and deserve love. As you love me, I will love them.

  9. Thank you for reuniting me with the Father; He sees me as righteous and holy through your blood.

  13. Thank you for helping me flow your love to others; Your love is perfected when it flows to others. It is not me, but you who lives through me.

  14. Thank you for giving me strength; Alone I can do nothing, With you anything is possible.

  15. Thank you for being with me every minute of every day; Nothing can separate me from your love.

  16. Thank you for helping me understand this spiritual battle; Satan lies, steals and destroys; You bring life in abundance. I stand with you.

  17. Thank you for protecting me; When I draw near to you, you draw near to me. When I resist the devil, the devil WILL flee.

  18. Thank you for defeating the devil with your innocent death and resurrection; You recieved all authority in the heavens and on earth!

  19. Thank you for delegating authority to me; I will use it to hold the devil accountable for his defeat and make him Your footstool.

  20. Thank you for being the light of this world while you were here; With your help I will be that light now, a bright beacon for your kingdom.

Say good morning to Jesus in thanks every day. It WILL ensure you start the day off on a positive note.

Hope this helps

The Power of Positive Confession

The Power of Positive Confession

 

I have come to appreciate the power of positive confession… It has opened up a whole new level of connection with HIM.

A very common aproach to prayer goes something like: “Jesus please do xxx for me” .  A better version goes something like “Jesus please help me do xxx”.  This is a good start but you can do even better. 

Recommended Approach: Consider the issue at hand, gather the spiritual truths you understand in your mind, grounded in belief, intentions, and conviction in your heart, and form them into strong positive statements from you mouth.

For example:

Before:  Lord, help me keep these sinful thoughts from my mind.

After: Lord, Thank you for loving me. Thank you for placing the holy spirit inside me to teach me and to guide me. Thank you for making me aware of the sinful thoughts I have had. Thank you hor helping me turn from them and follow you. Thank you for loving me and never giving up on me even when I miss the mark. I am committed to keep my mind pure so I can stay close to you and flow your love out to others with no barriers. 

This approach uses the same underlying principles prescribed to achieve salvation:

“… if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

The act of Speaking is powerful:

God spoke the universe into existence (Genesis 1):  He “said“..let there be light…and there was light (Genesis 1:3). 

“The power of death and life is in the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21).

Your mouth reveals what is in your heart: “For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45)

The speaking process connects all the dots through your mind (thoughts and understanding),  your emotion (values, beliefs), your will (choosing to speak), and your mouth (converting thoughts as words into sound projected into the air around you)

I encourage you to use this approach in your daily spiritual engagement.

Example: Heavenly father: I thank you for loving me more than I can ever even imagine. Jesus: I thank you for loving me so much you were willing to suffer and die for me. I thank you for reuniting me with the father so that I can stand here humbly in innocence and righteousness. I thank you for never giving up on me no matter how far off track I got. I thank you for giving me the Holy Spirit to guide me on this journey. I thank you for continuing to help me recognize shortcoming and helping me improve. You are the vine and I am a branch; Nothing is possible without you, but through you, anything is possible. I submit myself to you and put my complete trust in you. My mind is convinced, my heart is convicted, and my flesh is complying. You are pure love.  You are in me, and I am in you. With your help, I am becoming your love in action…your arms and legs on this earth. With your continued help, I WILL be a beacon for you and make you proud. Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, for me, my family, and all of your kingdom. AMEN.
