1 John 3:2-3

Aug31

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1 John 3:2‭-‬3 NASB

🌹God of my eternal destiny. As Your child, who has been set free from the law through Your sacrifice Jesus, I now walk according to the Spirit who fulfills the law in me. I no longer walk according to the flesh but in the Spirit who abides in me. My body is dead because of sin but my spirit is alive because of righteousness. Your righteousness Jesus. Though I do not fully understand this I fix my hope on You, Jesus. For my sake You sanctified Yourself, that I also may be sanctified in truth.
Therefore, through my love for my Savior and by the power of His Spirit, having these promises, I will cleanse myself from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear and reverence of You, my holy God. Amen.
Romans 8:1-10/John 17:19/2 Corinthians 7:1 NASB

1 John 3:1

Aug30

See how great a love (what kind of love) the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
1 John 3:1 NASB

🌹God, what an honor it is to be called Your child. How great Your love for me Father that You gave Your only begotten Son. This love given, not because I loved You, God, but because You loved me and sent Jesus to be the propitiation for my sin. It was nothing I did but what You have done, Father. And the blessing to know that I will not perish but have eternal life and have received Jesus making me Your child!! What greater blessing could I ask? And added to this is the assurance of the Holy Spirit who testifies with my spirit that I am Your child. Praise and glory to Your name my Abba Father. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

1 John 2:28-29

Aug29

Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away (be put to shame before Him) from Him in shame at His (presence) coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born (begotten) of Him. 1 John 2:28‭-‬29 NASB

🌹Holy, holy, holy are You, Lord God, my righteousness, my confidence. Abide in me, Jesus.You are my life and on that day when You appear and my faith is made sight may I be bold and confident, not shrinking away in shame when I am revealed with You in glory. For whoever is ashamed of You and Your words in this adulterous and sinful generation, You, Son of Man, will also be ashamed of them when You come in the glory of Your Father with the holy angels.”

Father, forgive me for wanting to speak from myself, seeking my own glory. I pray I will seek Your glory, the One who sent Jesus, for He is truth, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. I stand bold in Your name Lord God, knowing I was born again, not of blood nor the will of flesh, nor the will of man, but of You, God. And because of this I will see Your kingdom O God and bow in praise before Your Almighty throne of victory! To Your righteousness and glory I pray in Jesus name, amen. Colossians 3:4/Ephesians 3:12/Mark 8:38/John 7:18/John 1:13/John 3:3 NASB

1 John 2:26-27

Aug26

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
1 John 2:26‭-‬27 NASB

God, You have not left Your people without discernment, direction, or truth revealed. Father You sent Jesus, Your Son, to make this possible in our life. When Jesus ascended He asked on our behalf to give us a Helper, the Holy Spirit, to be with us forever!! How blessed to have an anointing from the Holy One who lives in us and whom we know. Praise You God for the confidence, security and peace my soul knows because You abide in me and I in you. Holy Spirit, teach me all things and bring to remembrance from Your Holy Word all I have read and studied so I will always abide in You. God, may I know the things You have freely given through Your Spirit. Thank You God for letting me know You and the many blessings that have come by You. I give my life to honor You, my God, by the life You have freely given me. In the glorious name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
John 14:16/1 John 2:20/John 14:26/1 Corinthians 2:12 NASB

🌹that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

1 John 2:25

Aug25

This is the promise which He Himself made to us (promised to us): eternal life.
1 John 2:25 NASB

God of promises never broken. When You make promises, You keep them. Your will, Father, is that everyone who beholds Your Son and believes in Him will have eternal life. You have promised that You Yourself will raise them up on the last day so that whoever believes will in Jesus has eternal life. Thank You for the hope I have through Jesus for eternity with my awesome God to Your praise and glory and my anticipation of Your promise fulfilled. In Jesus name hallelujah and amen!
John 6:40/John 3:15 NASB

🌹“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”.

1 John 2:21-24

Aug24

I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because (know that) no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah)? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
1 John 2:21‭-‬24 NASB

King Jesus, You entered into the world to testify to the truth. The truth from the very beginning. Thank You, Jesus, for the truth that resides in me enabling me to hear Your voice.  You stated, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice”. I trust Your truth.
Help me Lord to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.
Thank You God for the truth that has been established in me and is present with me. Through the Holy Spirit of truth residing in me I have fellowship with other believers; and indeed my fellowship is with You Father, and with Your Son Jesus Christ! I love You Jesus and will keep Your word so that the Father and You will love me and come make Your  abode in me. I ask for discernment to recognize the antichrist, remembering the antichrist denies both You Father and Jesus. I praise You for the privilege and honor to know You Jesus and the Father through the Holy Spirit; Three in One.  Glory to my God who has made Himself known to me. In this I rejoice. Amen.
John 18:37/James 1:19/2 Peter 1:12/1 John 1:3/John 14:23/John 8:19 NASB

🌹This is the antichrist
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
1 John 4:3 NASB

🌹This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
John 17:3 NASB

1 John 2:18-20

Aug23

Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
1 John 2:18‭-‬20 NASB

🌹Savior, the One who loves my soul, prepare me by Your power with sound judgement and a sober spirit for the purpose of prayer because the end of all things is near.
Burden my heart for Your church. The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, for many will come in Your name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
Lord God, evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek You understand all things. I pray that Your church, knowing the time, that it will awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. God bless Your children who have been anointed from the Holy One, and know Jesus. Thank You, Father, for Your Holy Spirit, our Helper, who will teach us all things, and bring to our remembrance all that Jesus said. Bless Your church I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

1 John 2:15-17

Aug22

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:15‭-‬17 NASB

Eternal God of pure and perfect love, Your will be done on earth as it in heaven.
Lord I seek Your forgiveness for indulging in the desires of the flesh and of the mind, making me no different from the world. For I know that friendship with the world is hostility toward You, God. Of this I ask forgiveness. I do not want to be an enemy of my God so I will turn to You and repent.
I put on the Lord Jesus Christ and will make no provision for the flesh and will abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against my soul so as to have the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of mankind, but for Your will O God.
Help me God and Father to keep myself pure and undefiled – unstained by the world.
By Your grace and power I will not conform myself to this world, but will be transformed by the renewing of my mind, so that I may prove what Your will is, God, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
God, grant me endurance, as a slave of Christ doing Your will from my heart so that when I have done Your will O God, I may receive what was promised.
Transform me for Your glory my God. This I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Ephesians 2:3/James 4:4/Romans 13:14/1 Peter 2:11/1 Peter 4:2/James 1:27/Romans 12:2/Hebrews 10:36/Ephesians 6:6 NASB

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
1 John 2:12‭-‬14 NASB

🌹God of all creation,  praise and glory to Your name for sending Jesus, Your Son. I was found as a child needing milk when Jesus found me, washed me, sanctified me and justified me!! Hallelujah I have been forgiven in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of my God. I know the Father because I know the Son and keep His commandments! Hallelujah!!!
As I grow in faith and encounter tribulation in the world, I shall experience peace knowing You, Jesus, have overcome the world. I will endure, overcoming the evil one because I will be strong in the strength of Your might.
I want to grow to full maturity believing in what was from the beginning, and by what I have experienced concerning the Word of Life. Your Word fully abiding in me. Prepare me to bow before Your heavenly throne unashamed Lord my God. In the perfect name of Jesus I pray, amen.

1 John 2:9-11

The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:9‭-‬11 NASB

🌹Jesus, Light of my life. I praise Your presence in my life and thank You for opening my eyes to see the Light of the gospel of Your glory, the image of God.
Lord God, You have purified me from my sin. Under Your guidance and instruction I will
apply all diligence in my faith, supplying  moral excellence, and in my moral excellence, knowledge, and in my knowledge, self-control, and in my self-control, perseverance, and in my perseverance, godliness, and in my godliness, brotherly kindness, and in my brotherly kindness, love. I pray these qualities are in me and are increasing so they will neither render me useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of You, my Lord Jesus Christ. Without these qualities I would be blind, walking in darkness. Let me never forget the purification from sin nor Your fellowship,  Jesus. Those who walk in darkness do not know where they are going for the darkness has blinded them.  I shall walk in Your Light without stumbling for You abide in me. Because You abide in me, I can love my brother/sister. To and for Your glory I pray, amen.
