March 2008 'A Warrior's Daily Journal' The Agape Letters Ministry

Monday March 3, 2008       "LAMPS of Light!" Luke 11:36 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) If then your entire body is illuminated, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright [with light], as when a lamp with its bright rays gives you light. As I begin to understand more of the meaning of Christ' WORDs here, then 'the entire body' must mean the 'WHOLE Church' must seek to be 'completely illuminated' with the knowledge of what their individual roles are concerning 'Living as a Believer' in the Kingdom of God.

Tuesday March 4, 2008       "Spiritual Knights of Christ!" 1 Corinthians 2:10 (Amplified Bible) Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit,for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything,even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counselsand things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny]. Every Believer in Christ must begin seeing themselves as 'Knights of a Royal Kingdom', each receiving their Spiritual Training from God's Noble Authority, Holy Spirit.

Wednesday March 5, 2008       "That INSIDE Voice!" John 12:28-30 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) [Rather, I will say,] Father, glorify (honor and extol) Your [own] name! Then there came a voice out of heaven saying, I have already glorified it, and I will glorify it again..... I have often wondered if it is God WHO IS 'speaking' each time a THUNDERstorm appears, not unlike the times when STORMs THUNDER through my life, and as I listen for that INSIDE Voice to Comfort my heart and mind, it is this scripture which reminds me to Glorify and Honor God regardless of my current circumstance.

Monday March 10, 2008       "A Revelation Generation!" Ephesians 3:4-7 (Amplified Bible) In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets..... As the Apostle Paul writes of this Revelation he has received into the 'mystery of Christ', he mentions being 'gifted of God's grace'.

Tuesday March 11, 2008       "Discerning the Depths!" Philippians 1:8-10 (NIV) God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, If I am to understand what the Apostle Paul means by 'discerning what is best', I must look deeply into God's WORD for 'increased knowledge' and 'insight into the depths' of just how much affection Christ Jesus has for all who believe in HIM.

Wednesday March 12, 2008       "Coaching Champions!" Ephesians 6:22 (Amplified Bible) I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may console and cheer and encourage and strengthen your hearts. Believers in Christ are confronted spiritually everyday by an adversary whose main objective is to steal, kill and destroy the accomplished WORK of God, attacking our minds both individually and corporately.

Thursday March 13, 2008       "A Double Dosage!" Colossians 4:8 (Amplified Bible) I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are faring and that he may comfort and cheer and encourage your hearts. As I was reading this letter written by the Apostle Paul to the Colossian church, I realized that he had used similiar WORDs to comfort and encourage the Ephesians.

Friday March 14, 2008       "NOW Understanding!" John 13:7 (Amplified Bible) Jesus said to him, You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later on. A time comes whenever understanding is opened to certain things written in God's WORD, much like it was later for the Apostle Peter, after Jesus washed his and the other disciple's feet before they ate of the Passover meal.

Monday March 17, 2008       "Know HIS Will!" Romans 12:12 (Amplified Bible) Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. This week is surely a time of JOYful Celebration for many, reminding Believers in Christ of HIS death, burial and resurrection.

Tuesday March 18, 2008       "Forwarding Address!" 1 Corinthians 1:17 (Amplified Bible) For Christ (the Messiah) sent me out not to baptize but [to evangelize by] preaching the glad tidings (the Gospel), and that not with verbal eloquence, lest the cross of Christ should be deprived of force and emptied of its power and rendered vain (fruitless, void of value, and of no effect). The Apostle Paul understood all to well the cross of Christ, unmatched in it's significance to the Power and Value of Eternal Life.

Wednesday March 19, 2008       "LifeWORD!" 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (Amplified Bible) Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. These WORDs of Encouragement and Inspiration as written by the Apostle Paul, could be viewed as the core of my desire in Faithfully pleasing God and fulfilling HIS Perfect Will.

Thursday March 20, 2008       "Three POWERful Witnesses!" 1 John 5:8 (Amplified Bible) ...and there are three witnesses on the earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood;and these three agree [are in unison; their testimony coincides]. As the days draw us nearer to the Victory Celebration that is called Easter, I wanted to bring to our attention that the number 3, appears over seventy times in the New Testament.

Friday March 21, 2008       "LOOK upon that Cross!" John 3:14-16 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever! God used symbolism when HE instructed Moses to make the bronze serpent, and when this image was lifted up, healing came and all who looked upon it were saved.

Monday March 24, 2008       "A Promising Future!" Luke 15:22 (Amplified Bible) (Jesus speaking) But the father said to his bond servants, Bring quickly the best robe (the festive robe of honor) and put it on him; and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet. Christ Jesus uses this parable to teach the unfailing love that an earthly father expresses toward his children, and that is just a sample of the LOVE that our Heavenly FATHER has for those who choose to come home after having lived their lives searching fruitlessly for, but never finding that kind of deep compassion and love from the things of the world.

Tuesday March 25, 2008       "Persistance!" Philippians 1:20 (Amplified Bible) (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. Consistent and uncompromising, are what the Apostle Paul desired most to convey in his letter to the Philippian Believers in Christ, exalting and magnifying the Glory and Praise that belongs only to our Savior and Lord.

Wednesday March 26, 2008       "OnGoing and Prevalent!" Acts 19:20 (Amplified Bible) Thus the Word of the Lord [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] grew and spread and intensified, prevailing mightily. Accounts of the 1st century New Testament church as are recorded in God's WORD have been used for centuries as both a guideline and an outline for the Body of Christ, where members are unified in accomplishing the Purpose and Will of God upon the earth.

Thursday March 27, 2008       "UnWAVERing Praise & Glory!" Romans 4:20 (Amplified Bible) No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,... As the Apostle Paul describes Faith concerning God's Promise, he reminds me of Abraham and the assurance of knowing that God WILL deliver, this Truth I must embrace and my own Faith will grow stronger as I Praise and Glorify God for it is by HIS Spirit that am I empowered to 'break-through' each and every stronghold that attempts to block my spiritual growth
