Monday April 2, 2007       "A Chosen People of God!" "Representatives of Christ!" John 15:16 (Amplified Version) You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you],..... No matter how much I try to justify myself to other people, it is who I am in God's sight that carries weight for eternity.

Tuesday April 3, 2007       "A People of Promise!" "Hope in Christ!" Acts 20:32 (Amplified Version) And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace ,..... The Apostle Luke was in the company of those who traveled with the Apostle Paul on those missionary expeditions to places where people had never heard the Gospel of Christ, HIS message of Salvation, Hope and Eternal Life.

Wednesday April 4, 2007       "Possibilities through Faith!" "Abundance and Overflowing!" 1 John 5:4 (Amplified Version) For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. Believers in Christ are called to be witnesses of the Gospel of Christ, just as the Apostle John, I must remain steadfast in my Faith that Christ is exceedingly and abundantly able to do everything above and beyond anything that I could ever Hope or Ask for.

Thursday April 5, 2007       "Fragrant and Pleasing!" "Obedience and Willingness!" 2 Corinthians 2:15 (Amplified Version) For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: The Power of God, Holy Spirit, transforms and regenerates Believers in Christ, from a position of perishing and the eternal separation for the Holy Presence of God, to a position of Salvation and seated eternally with Christ in heaven.

Monday April 9, 2007       "The Deepest Love!" "To be Given to Others!" Luke 6:35 (Amplified Version) (Jesus speaking) But love your enemies and be kind and do good [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; I was thinking as I read this scripture, how Christ knew and was willing to teach HIS disciples about God's Love.

Tuesday April 10, 2007       "Expressing Kindness!" "Through Faith in Christ!" Galatians 5:6 (Amplified Version) For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. When the Apostle Paul was writing this letter to the Believers in Galatia, he wanted me to understand more clearly the Transforming Power of Holy Spirit, an ongoing and continual work in my New Life in Christ Jesus.

Wednesday April 11, 2007       "Heart of Love!" "Dwelling of HIS Spirit!" Ephesians 3:17 (Amplified Version) May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, As Holy Spirit transforms the heart of a man such as the Apostle Paul, I too am then able to portray and express the Deep and Abiding Love of Christ that exists and forms the foundation ....

Thursday April 12, 2007       "A Promised Love!" "God's Oath for Believers!" Hebrews 6:18 (Amplified Version) This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, ...... God promises those who accept and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord, will receive HIS Spirit of Power, Love and a sound mind.

Friday April 13, 2007       "God's Calling to Love!" "Daily Living God's Will!" Acts 3:19 (Amplified Version) So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord; This morning's WORD given through HIS Spirit says, that I am to be busy in the WORK that HE Called me to.

Monday April 16, 2007       "Comprehend and Appreciate HIS Spirit!" "God's Free and Lavished Gift!" 1 Corinthians 2:12 (Amplified Version) Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. The Spirit of which the Apostle Paul is speaking of, God's Power to Resurrect and Rebirth Life, in both Christ, HIS Son, and also me as a Believer in Christ, I am an adopted Son of God who RECEIVES those same Blessings and Promises of Freedom and Favor.

Tuesday April 17, 2007       "Source of TRUTH!" "God's Powerful Presence!" John 14:26 (Amplified Version) (Jesus speaking) But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. The Apostle John records these WORDs of Christ for me to have a complete and greater understanding of who Holy Spirit is.

Wednesday April 18, 2007       "HIS WORDs and Vision!" "Obedience to Holy Spirit!" Acts 10:42-45 (Amplified Version) And He charged us to preach to the people and to bear solemn testimony that He is the God-appointed and God-ordained Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets testify (bear witness) that everyone who believes in Him.... Christ Jesus has Promised that HIS heavenly Father will give Holy Spirit, as both a Counselor and as a sign of HIS Truth and Righteousness, only to those who Believe in HIM.

Thursday April 19, 2007       "Spiritual Ambitions!" "Edifying HIS Church!" 1 Corinthians 14:12 (Amplified Version) So it is with yourselves; since you are so eager and ambitious to possess spiritual endowments and manifestations of the [Holy] Spirit, [concentrate on] striving to excel and to abound [in them] in ways that will build up the church. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthain Believers in Christ, with the specific purpose of further explaining the Gift and Gifts received as a Rightful Inheritance, resulting from the Baptism of Holy Spirit.

Friday April 20, 2007       "Into HIS Glory!" "Full-FILLED By Holy Spirit!" 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (Amplified Version) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. The Apostle Paul writes here of the Eternal TRUTH of Holy Spirit, speaking against every false teaching that a certain time or dispensation of God's Spirit had once existed, therefore leaving Believers in Christ empty and void of HIS Glory, Majesty and Power.

Monday April 23, 2007       "God's Precious Jewelry!" "HeartWear Adornments!" 1 Peter 3:4 (Amplified Version) But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God. The Apostle Peter wrote these WORDs with the Understanding of a Believer's heart, one that is adorned with God's Spirit of Gentleness and Peace.

Tuesday April 24, 2007       "A Believer's Portrait!" "Eternal Life through HIS Son!" Colossians 3:1-3 (Amplified Version) IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above,.... The WORD of God reminds me that the Apostle Paul was formerly a Pharisee, a teacher of The Law, which Christ spoke of as being dead and unclean.

Wednesday April 25, 2007       "To HIM be All Glory!" "Now and Forever!" Philippians 1:20 (Amplified Version) This is in keeping with my own eager desire and persistent expectation and hope, that I shall not disgrace myself nor be put to shame in anything; but that with the utmost freedom of speech and unfailing courage, now as always heretofore, Christ (the Messiah) will be magnified and get glory and praise in this body of mine and be boldly exalted in my person, whether through (by) life or through (by) death. As a Believer in Christ, having received understanding from Holy Spirit of God and HIS Glorious Son, Christ Jesus, I truly begin to realize the depth of which the Apostle Paul would go to Praise and Worship the Lord.

Thursday April 26, 2007       "Sustained by HIS Grace!" "Boundless Mercies!" Acts 14:22 (Amplified Version) Establishing and strengthening the souls and the hearts of the disciples, urging and warning and encouraging them to stand firm in the faith, and [telling them] that it is through many hardships and tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. The Apostle Luke wrote in detail of the trials and sufferings which he, Paul, Barnabus and many of the early disciples were facing as Believers in Christ for the sake of the Gospel.

Monday April 30, 2007       "FulFILLED by HIS Grace!" "Savior and Redeemer!"

And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor].... Anticipation and excitement is heightened by the expectation of a time when a promise is fulfilled, all the waiting and hoping culminates in that very moment of fulfillment.
