Monday June 11, 2007       "Cooking Religion!" "Spiritual Cuisine!" Exodus 12:7-11 (Amplified Bible) They shall take of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the lintel [above the door space] of the houses in which they shall eat [the Passover lamb]. They shall eat the flesh that night roasted; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it..... Anyone who has ever cooked, knows that following precisely the details of a recipe, makes for an exquisite entree which is surely to please the most critical of palates.

Tuesday June 12, 2007       "Stirred Thoroughly!" "Spiritual Ingredients!" 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 (Amplified Bible) Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed.... Just as a nourishing and satisfying recipe consists of separate ingredients that when combined, lend themselves towards producing a complete meal, so it is with God's 'Recipe for Reconciliation'.

Wednesday June 13, 2007       "HIS Marvelous Mixture!" "Every Believer Has Purpose!" Ephesians 1:11-14 (Amplified Bible) In Him we also were made [God's] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will,.... The ingredients necessary for Fruitful and Victorious living in Christ, are supplied and measured according to God's WORD, specific to HIS Plan and Purpose for me as I desire to be Holy and Righteous in Christ.

Friday June 15, 2007       "Grand Dessert!" "The King's Table!" Luke 14:15 (Amplified Bible) When one of those who reclined [at the table] with Him heard this, he said to Him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! These WORDs of Christ, ring loudly in my ears, HIS Declaration pronouncing that a 'Feast of Immeasurable Portions' has been prepared in the Banquet Hall of Heaven for Believers who live Faithful and True to their Lord and Savior.

Monday June 18, 2007       "Know HIS Heart!" "Learn from Christ!" John 15:15 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.] The Apostle John states that all the books ever written in the world, were insufficient to record the WORDs which Christ spoke while HE lived upon the earth.

Tuesday June 19, 2007       "Obedient Faith!" "Works Through HIS Spirit!" 1 John 3:24 (Amplified Bible) All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us. Evidence of my Obedience to God's Commandments, will be seen by the WORDs that come forth from my lips and by the Actions of my hands.

Friday June 22, 2007       "Powerfully Possessed!" "Learning by God's Spirit!" 1 Corinthians 2:13 (Amplified Bible) And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. As a Believer in Christ, I must acknowledge the totality of God's Spirit in all areas of my life. Every aspect of 'Living in Christ', must be under the direction of Holy Spirit, for this is God's Divine Plan.

Monday June 25, 2007       "Captive Faith!" "Chained to God's WORD!" Luke 22:32 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) But I have prayed especially for you [Peter], that your [own] faith may not fail; and when you yourself have turned again, strengthen and establish your brethren. The Apostle Luke writes that Christ Jesus prayed specifically for Peter's FAITH, that he would face the trials that were soon to come, meant to shake and sift him.

Tuesday June 26, 2007       "Bound by HIS Power!" "Driven by God's WORD!" 1 Corinthians 2:12 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) 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. Whenever I read the WORDs of the Apostle Paul, I gain a deeper understanding of Paul's conviction and purpose for which God's Spirit used in strengthening and empowering those 1st century Believers.

Wednesday June 27, 2007       "Paroled by Christ!" "Forgiven and Redeemed!" 2 Timothy 2:9-10 (Amplified Bible) For that [Gospel] I am suffering affliction and even wearing chains like a criminal.

The Apostle Paul endured much for the Gospel of Christ, because he had assurance of that Glorious Reward which awaits Believers who stand on God's WORD in the midst of turmoil.

Friday June 29, 2007       "Fire Chaser!" "Burning Desire Within!" Hebrews 12:29 (Amplified Bible) For our God [is indeed] a consuming fire. God's Spirit of Holiness and Righteousness reinforces HIS unchanging and unmoveable WORD, conducting that 'Great WORK of God', transforming my heart from unclean and impure, into a 'Heart after God's own Heart'!
