Day 12

January 17, 2025. The Amazing God!

Amazing God: “Oh, How I Love Jesus”

Scripture Text: Please read John 14:1-14 and note what the Spirit points out as you read.

Welcome to Day 12.

God Is Love!

Trying to define God’s love, I think, is impossible. However, we can know His love. We know it by accepting (believing) His love and, as a result, experiencing His love. Maybe we can conclude that the definition is buried in the experience of knowing Him as Lord and Saviour. The scriptures help us: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, 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. Beloved if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:7-11 NKJV

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16 NKJV

Jesus Is God!

Here is the burning issue. The truth that Jesus is God revealed in the flesh is a problem for multitudes of people—believers in other religious persuasions. Jesus’ followers have a relationship with God, who came to seek and save the rebellious lost through a Mediator. None of the other gods busied themselves with looking for anyone to save. The uniqueness of Jesus, fully God and yet fully man, is an unchallenged and uncontested reality. What the opposition has left is petulant mockery or an escalation to legal means to quash the mention of His name—the extreme being persecution, imprisonment, and even death. Jesus is God: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.”
Jesus is God: “I tell the truth in Christ; I am not lying…Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.” 1 timothy 3:16

We love God because He first loved us and proved it by sending Jesus, so we love Jesus, too. Amen!!! When Jesus left after a glorious 33 1/2 years on Earth, He sent the Holy Spirit to be with us. We have no excuse. The Father, Son, and Spirit are One, and our fellowship is with One expressed in these Three distinct Persons. We have more than enough!

Host His Presence

Let Us Pray Using The Model Jesus Taught

Our Father In Heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name

Psalm 84:1-4Father in Heaven, we praise your Holy name today and always in Jesus’ name. Use the words in the scriptures to exalt the Father. He longs to hear our worship.

Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven

Pray for yourself and the church of God that we will never use what the Lord has given us to serve the idols of this world.

  1. Exo 20:3. Declare that you and your household will have no other God besides The Lord.
  2. Matt 24:12, 1 John 4:19. Pray that our love for God will never grow cold. We love Him because He first loved us.
  3. John 3:16. Pray that the church will love the lost, just like Jesus did.
  4. Isaiah 59:19 Stand in Jesus’ Authority against the flood of laws rising against the church seeking to limit what God has called us to do. Holy Spirit, we raise a standard against the flood of satan in Jesus’ name.
  • Pray that false brethren be exposed among the church
  • Pray for protection against all forms of witchcraft, Zech. 2:5

Give Us This Day our Daily Bread…

John 6:27-33. Pray that today and always, we will be satisfied with the bread of heaven. Pray for every new believer that they may grow in Christ as they start with feeding on the sincere milk of God’s word. 1 Peter 2:1-3

And Forgive Us Our Debts As We Forgive Our Debtors…

Matthew 5:23. We are bombarded daily with opportunities to harbor hatred and resentment toward others. Lord, grant us the grace to walk free from unforgiveness. Lord, today, I release every offender and every offense. I consciously choose not to walk in offense in Jesus’ name.

And Do Not Lead Us Into Temptation But Deliver Us From The Evil One…

  • 2 Cor. 11:14. Pray for our eyes to be opened to the devil’s tricks no matter how covered the deception comes
  • 2 Cor. 2:11. Make declarations according to 2 Cor. 2:11: “satan shall not have an advantage over me, my household, my church, etc, in Jesus’ name. Cover every area you can think of.

For Yours Is The Kingdom And The Power And The Glory Forever. Amen!

Close your session with praise for Him, Who is King and Lord forever.
