Sin is Enticing But God...
Sin is enticing for a season. But, sin will take a toll on you and will lead you places you never thought you would go. We have all been there when we walked after the lust of our heart and thought "Hey, this is the good life." Maybe you have thought everything seems to be working out for me and I need to follow this path. The enemy will open doors that look enticing and pleasureable. Once you walk through the doors you become blind and your world seems to fall apart. Sin will cost you much and will bring lots of pain, agony and discomfort to you. Sin will cause us to be separated from our families and friends. You become an empty vessel that falls deeper into the trap of the enemy and who feels like you are drowning. When everything around you is like sinking sand and you don't know where to turn. When your glow has been stolen by the enemy because he has consumed and separated you. You are all alone. You have become blind to the ways of God. STOP and REACH UP for your Heavenly Father is standing there with His Hand outstretched waiting on you to cry out to Him. He will forgive you of your sins. He is faithful and just to forgive your sins when we confess our sins. We serve a merciful God who loves us. When sin begins to knock at your door, always remember, the Lord will never lead you to live in sin or entice you to do things that are forbidden in His Word. Let us never forget that God has a standard that we must live by. Don't answer the door for sin but be the wise man who builds his house on the rock. With God all things are possible.
Prayer of Repentance
Father, I repent today of those things in my life that are not pleasing unto you. Lord, I know that you are coming back for a people that are seeking your face and for a bride that has prepared herself. Lord, open my eyes today to you and reveal to me anything in my life that is not pleasing unto you. Go to the very depths of my soul and reveal who I am to myself. Hold back nothing but show me what I look like when you see me. My heart's desire is to serve you and to walk with you. Today, may be the day that you call me home and I want to know that I have been washed in the precious blood of Jesus and that my sins are cleansed. Lord, I am hungry for more of you and less of me. Lord, my hearts cry is more of you, more of you, all I want is more of you and less of me. I stand in Awe of You and your mercies that are new each day. Lord when you look at me teach me to be a vessel that you will see your reflection and not me. I love you Father and I never want to break your heart or crucify you all over again. I want to be a vessel that loves you and that with each breath you give me, I am drawing closer to you.
God is Holy
God is Holy and we must be Holy. He is looking for a people that will surrender unto His ways and His words and follow Him. How can we say we know the Father when the love of the Father is not in us? How can we say that we are walking with Christ when we don't even take the time to read His word and pray? We must not partake of this world because He tells us that we cannot love the world and say that we love Him too. We must come back to being a Holy people that are set apart from this world and who are seeking His face. The word of God tells us over and over to abstain from all appearance of evil. This world is full of evil and God's children have became so tangled in the world that you can't tell them from the world. Let us fall on our faces and repent and come back to Holiness. Holiness is what the Lord is seeking. Those around us are looking for someone who is real, who has a relationship with our Heavenly Father. We must become vessels that are overflowing with the Presence of God in our lives. We can't do anything apart from Him, but when we are vessels of holiness others will see Christ and desire Him.

Seeking Love
Father, there are so many today that are lost and undone without you. We live in a world that is wrapped up in themselves. So many have lost love and are seeking for a love that will make them feel special, fulfill their desires and acceptance. Father, you are the lost love that those whom are empty needs to find. Today, Lord touch those that are seeking for love and open your arms wide that they might see you. There is no greater love than that you laid down your life for those who are lost. You shed your precious blood upon Calvary so the world would know that you are the One and Only true God. Touch your children today and give us spiritual eyes to see the lost and prepare the way for us to be witnesses unto those that are lonely, empty and without your Amazing Grace. They are blinded now but when you open their eyes they will see you and fall upon their face and repent and accept you in their life. Become unto the lost the love of their lifes. Be their Savior, Redeemer and their Peace. You are a gracious and mighty God. You are to your children every breath that we take and you are our strength. We love you Lord. You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek you. You word says they that seek you shall find you. You have come to give us life and life more abundantly. Let everything that hath breath Praise the Lord.
