The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom;they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done. NIV Isaiah 3:9-11

Heavenly Father we know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God. Please open our eyes and help us to open the the eyes of other so that we are not deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of us were. But we were washed, we were sanctified, we were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Please give us boldness to speak and teach the truth to those who are being lead astray by Satan. In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen. (1 Corinthians 6)

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. NIV

Devotional O Lord my God, if I have done this: if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; yes let him trample my life to the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Arise O Lord, in Your anger; lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; rise up for me to be the judgment You have commanded! So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; for their sakes, therefore, return on high.

Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;

Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Verse - Matthew 24:45-51 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil servant says in his heart, "My master is delaying his coming," and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Devotional Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1:1-6
Verse - Matthew 9:10-13 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.

For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. NKJV
Devotional Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens, Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all you stars of light!

Verse - Matthew 8:14 Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. So He touched her hand, and she arose and served them. NKJV
Devotional Jesus You haven taken our infirmities and bare our sicknesses. We are healed by Your stripes Lord and if we don't have perfect faith, then help us to have perfect love. In Your beautiful and precious name we pray, Amen.
Verse - Matthew 16:1-4 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. Jesus answered and said to them, When it is evening you say, "It will be fair weather for the sky is red", and in the morning, "It will be foul weather today, or the sky is red and threatening," Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. and He left them and departed.NKJV
Devotional Seeking signs from God is "wicked and adulterous" when the demand for more and more evidence comes from a resistant heart and simply covers up an unwillingness to believe. If we are carrying on a love affair with the world, and our husband, Jesus, after a long separation, comes to us and says, "I love you and I want you back," one of the best ways to protect our adulterous relationship with the world is to say, "You're not really my husband; you don't really love me. Prove it. Give me some sign." If that's the way we demand a sign, then we are a wicked and adulterous generation.
But if we come to God with a heart aching with longing for vindication of his glory and the salvation of sinners, then we are not wicked and adulterous. We are a faithful wife, only wanting to honor our husband.
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Verse - Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. NKJV
Devotional Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
Verse - Matthew 6:24-27 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, and it fell. And great was its fall.NKJV
Devotional The Wise Man and the Foolish Man
By Ann Omley, 1948
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
But the house on the Rock stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the sand fell flat.
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
So build your life on the Lord.
Verse - Matthew 23:27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. NKJV
Devotional Heavenly Father, I come before you to ask for your protection against the powers of darkness, which comes to disrupt my life. You are my shield and my fortress, and my refuge when I am in distress. There is no one stronger than you Lord. I trust in you Lord. In the name of Jesus, I call out the angelic host for full protection of my mind, soul and body. Thank you Lord for watching over me. In the name of Jesus no weapons formed by Satan against me will prosper. Come Holy Spirit, and help me to put on the Armor of God, according to Ephesians 6:10. I put on the belt of truth because Jesus is the Truth, and the Truth set me free; I put on the breastplate of righteousness to protect my body and my heart as I walk in righteousness; I put on the shoes of peace as I walk in obedience to You Lord, and go wherever to Spirit takes me; I put on the shield of faith to protect me against the fiery attacks of the enemy; I put on the helmet of salvation to protect my mind and my salvation; I take hold of the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, to defend myself against Satan and demolish his strongholds. Thank you Lord for your full watchfulness and full protection. I give you Lord all the praise, and honor, and glory forever. In Jesus name, I pray.
Verse - Matthew 12:25-30 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom dividid against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with me scatters abroad.
Devotional Father we know that the issue of unity is of extreme importance to You and in the life and usefulness of Your church. Show us Lord, how to bring unity into Your church and into our relationships. In Jesus precious name we pray, Amen
Verse - Matthew 13:3-9 A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop - a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear.
Devotional Father though I walk in the midst of trouble,You will revive me, You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand will save me. You Lord will perfect that which concerns me, Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever, do not forsake the works of Your hands. Psalm 138, 7-8. In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen.
Verse - Matthew 16:8-12 But Jesus, aware of this, asked, Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? O you men, how little trust you have in Me, how little faith! Do you not yet discern perceive and understand? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many small hand baskets you gathered? Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large provision baskets you took up? How is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But beware of the leaven ferment of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Then they discerned that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. AMP
Devotional Heavenly Father, how quickly we forget Your great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles You have performed in our lives. Your word tells us over and over, Remember Your deliverances. We are so like the disciples Lord. They didn’t understand Christ’s miracles when he supernaturally fed thousands with just a few loaves and fishes. And like your disciples we drop the miracles You perform in our lives from our memory and become connected to the lies of satan and his world. Forgive us Father and make our memories pure and fresh of Your great power to change people and situations and the dominion You have given us to overcome all things. In Jesus precious name we pray, Amen.
Verse - Matthew 6:30-33 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Devotional Heavenly Father I am asking according to Your word, because you say You will give; I seek and I will find; I knock and it will be open to me. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. In Jesus precious name I pray! Praise God, Praise God, Praise God!
Verse - Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. NKJV

Verse - Matthew 6:28-30 So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Devotional Father I know that if I seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, that all things will be added unto me. I will not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Devotional Father thank You for Your Holy Spirit that keeps me wise and reveals all truths to me. Help me to always turn to You and Your Word when I need to make decisions. Always give me the strength to walk away and wipe the dust from my feet from others who are blinded from the truth of Your Word. Help me to understand that although not easy, You are giving me the strength to remove myself from bad situations that will not change with my presence and can only hurt me deeply if I remain. Anything that becomes more of a focus in my life and keeps me way from You Father, is an unGodly soul tie and not what you want for my life. You are a jealous God. In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen.
Verse - Matthew 2:22-23 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "Behold the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel", which is translated, "God with us." NKJV
Devotional Heavenly Father help me to remember this time of year that Jesus is the reason for the season. Help me to keep in mind that there are many people who are struggling, single parents, widows and those much less fortunate than what I am. Help me to be skin on Jesus for them this Christmas season and send them directly into my life so that I might be able to bless them the same way You have blessed me. In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen
Verse - Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. NKJV
Devotional Father give me the wisdom, strength and direction to produce, perform and grow. All for Your glory Lord. Place a hedge of protection Lord around my children, blood and adopted. In a world where everything goes and there appears to be mass chaos, Father reveal your light to these children. It is so hard for someone to see You as a loving Father since they have not experienced a loving Father and/or Mother here on this earth. But you Lord can breakdown all those walls, for all to see Your light and the hope that only comes from You. In Jesus precious and glorious name, Amen.
Verse - Matthew 13:43-45 When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, "I will return to my house from which I came." And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, an the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation
Devotional Heavenly Father, thank you for showing me how an evil spirit will get ahold of a person, even a Christian, if they will let them. I seek Your Word and the ministers whom you have anointed with the truth in order to teach us on how to deal with these evil spirits. I know that these evil spirits will try to keep me in bondage and will disrupt the ministry that you have placed in my hands, if I do not use the authority over them that you have given to me. Thank you Father, for the answers that can only be found in Your Word through study and research. In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen.

Today's Prayer
Heavenly Father help me to remember that if at any time I despise a person rather than the principle behind that person, I'm not truly representing Christ. Love your enemies!

Verse - Matthew 12:47-50 Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You."

Why say I am a Christian, yet go and do worldly things, when You are there wanting to be in my heart? Then I turn around when my time is up on earth asking to be in Your home. That is not right!

Neither would You God...So LORD please help me to stay on the right path with You. We do not know when our time on earth is going to expire, we need to be ready at every breath given moment as if there is no tomorrow. We (as Christians) need to memorize scripture to use AGAINST the devil because he is real and so are the devils demons. Help me to do all of these things LORD. Amen
