1 John 5:10-11

Oct5

The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5:10‭-‬11 NASB

God of all creation, Your plan is perfect. You created mankind and called them to love, trust and obey You. . . We failed and fell.

But God. You made a way for all mankind to reconcile this fallen relationship. You sent Jesus, Your Son. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

GOD, I pray for family near and far; for co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances to know that in Jesus is life, and this life is the Light of men. He who believes in Jesus is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

Thank You God for Your Spirit who testifies with my spirit that I am a child of Yours. Guide my words as You give me opportunity to testify and proclaim eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— Jesus my Savior in whose name I pray, amen.  1 John 4:9/John 3:36/1 John 2:25/John 1:4/John 3:18/Romans 8:16/1 John 1:2 NASB

🌹He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36 NASB

1 John 4:19-21

Sep28

We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
1 John 4:19‭-‬21 NASB

Holy God, You are love. Pure, real unadulterated love. Not just the essence of love but the source of love. Without You no one can love or be loved. Thank You, God, for Your great love for Your creation demonstrated by the sending of Your Son to be the propitiation for our sins. By this we are able to know love, be loved and to love. God You are love. God, I ask forgiveness for my sin. Keep me in Your Light, Lord, practicing truth so I honor You in the keeping of Your commandment to love my neighbor. God, I greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory though I have not seen You but I love You and believe in You. Be glorified in me Lord as You love others through me. Be glorified Holy God. Amen.

1 John 4:9-10

Sep21

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10 NASB

Father, God of extravagant love that exceeds the bounds of custom. This love manifested in me through Your Son, the only one of His kind, I will practice along with truth so that Your works might be displayed in me. I live, truly live because I am saved by Jesus. I have set my seal to this, that God is true! God, You demonstrated Your love for me, in that while I was a sinner, Jesus Christ died for me. I also exult in You, Father through my Lord Jesus, through whom I have received reconciliation! Jesus Himself is the satisfaction for my sin. Thank You, God, for Your great love for me that now dwells in me through Jesus. Jesus, I pray You will manifest Yourself in me so I may display Your attributes and bring glory to Your name. And . . . speak truth so others may come to salvation in You, Jesus. In Your name I pray, amen.
John 9:3/John 3:21,33/Romans 5:8,10/1 John 2:2 NASB

🌹And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

1 John 3:23-24

Sep14

This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:23‭-‬24 NASB

God, Father, You have commanded me to believe in Your Son, Jesus Christ. It is the true work of Yours, Father, that I believe in Jesus whom You sent. It is You who sent the true bread out of heaven. I am gratefully blessed to be called Your child, God, for I believe in the name of Jesus! You, Lord, have commanded to love one another, even as You have loved. By the power of the Holy Spirit abiding in me others will know I am Your disciple by the love I have for others. Holy Spirit teach me as I read the Word. Hide it in my heart so the love of God will truly be perfected in me. I pray I walk in the same manner as Jesus walked with full assurance that I am abiding in Him. Thank You, God, for Your Holy Spirit. John 6:29/John 6:32/John 1:12/John 13:34-35/1 John 2:5-6 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. John 14:17 NASB

1 John 3:17-20

Sep12

But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
1 John 3:17‭-‬20 NASB

God, You are great!! I draw near to You with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith; please draw near to me. I cleanse my hands before You seeking Your forgiveness for that which condemns me. I then can willingly approach Your throne with a pure heart and clean hands. You know my heart and all things God.
All that I have, Lord is Yours. You have given me all I possess physically and spiritually. God, I pray that I will not close my heart to a brother and/or sister in need. How can I if You are abiding in me? Transform my heart to love in deed and truth. You abundantly bless Lord God. I pray I will freely open my hand to my brothers/sisters in need and  generously lend him/her sufficient for his/her need in whatever he/she lacks. All to and for Your glory! Amen

🌹You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings. For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.’

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:16 NASB

🌹Jesus, You have called me friend, making known to me all that You have heard from Your Father. You showed me Your love by laying down Your life long before I existed, way back on Calvary. Today You still extend that love for me, your sheep, as my good Shepherd. You are the good shepherd, and You know Your own and Your own know You.
Lord Jesus, lead me in Your footsteps to impart the gospel and also be willing to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of others in the faith, so I can rejoice and share my joy with all. For Your kingdom and Your glory I pray, amen.

1 John 3:9-10

Sep6

No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone (everyone) who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:9‭-‬10 NASB

Holy God, thank You for the life I now live,  born of You. Born again, not of blood nor by the will of the flesh nor the will of man but by Your glorious will, God. I praise You for giving me the gift of seeing Your kingdom O God!!!
By Your righteousness in me I am able to practice righteousness confirming I am born of You my God. What joy, contentment, and peace I have knowing I am Your child. Hallelujah,  I am a child of God through belief in Jesus Christ my Savior and the ability to practice righteousness in my life. Holy Spirit testify with my spirit that I am a child of God so I will never be led or lead others astray to the ways of the devil.
And I pray God that I will walk and live in Your Light loving my fellow brothers and sisters and encourage them to practice righteousness and not be deceived by walking in the darkness of the devil, by not loving our brothers and sisters. What great love You have bestowed upon us O God, calling us Your children. May we honor you by living for your glory, amen.

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 2:15-17

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

Aug18

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.
