Angels Unaware

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” – Hebrews 13:2

Father, Your Word says in Psalm 91:11, “For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.“ Knowing You have sent Your angels to guard us, we can’t help but wonder if we have encountered one of Your angels, but never recognized them as such. Have we rejected one of the heavenly host, because they were dressed in the clothing of poverty, were disheveled or uncomfortable to be around?

Lord, bless us to see others through Your eyes, so we operate with wisdom and the fruit of the Spirit. Teach us to not judge by appearances (1 Sam 16:7), but by the leading of Your Spirit – to love the unlovely, the difficult and those who curse us for Your sake (Luke 6:22).  Teach us to greet with genuine warmth, show generous hospitality and humbly serve our fellow man as if each one were one of Your heavenly host. In humility, may we consider others more important than ourselves (Phil 2:3). In Jesus Name ❤️

Dear Friend, after the resurrection, Jesus, Himself, met Cleopus and another disciple who were on the road to Emmaus. It wasn’t until they invited Him into their home and Jesus broke bread with them that their eyes were opened and they realized who they were entertaining. Don’t miss a chance to show hospitality and kindness to strangers.  You just might be enjoying a meal with an angel or the Lord! 💡

A City On A Hill

A CITY ON A HILL By:  Julie Souza Bradley Lilly “You are light for the world. A city cannot be hidden when it is located on a hill. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Instead, everyone who lights a lamp puts it on a lamp stand. Then its light shines on everyone in the house.” – Matthew‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭GW‬‬ And I saw thousands of souls struggling in a churning sea.  Under the darkness of a moonless sky, without a boat, they were tossed.  Beneath them sharks swam, nipping at heels, eliciting sharp cries from those who flailed.  It caused them to cling to their neighbor, pushing them to submerge, sputter and gasp.  Exhaustion, chaos and hopelessness hovered over the waters like a mist, obscuring the small points of light that seeped out from around the boarded windows of the nearby city on a hill.  The city on a hill—a beacon of hope to those drowning, contained behind windows shuttered with fear. Lord, we see chaos all around us —man’s inhumanity to man— fear, anxiet

Paul’s Handkerchief Prayer

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father! “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” - Deuteronomy 31:6 Lord, we don’t have to be the only one in a room to feel alone.  We can be in a coliseum full of people and still feel lonely.  We feel alone in our skin.  You encourage us to not forsake meeting together as a church (Hebrews 10:25), but it is the internal companionship that keeps us from feeling loneliness in that packed coliseum. Father, I lift my friend.  Your Word says that where two or more are gathered in Your Name, You are there in the midst of them.  So Lord, as in Acts 19:12 when Paul sent a blessed handkerchief to the sick and they were healed, likewise, across time and space I take hands with Your precious child.  Together we bow before You and admit we need You.  We invite Your presence.  If they feel lonely or alone today, in their life or in

Beauty Among the Ashes

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father!   “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that   I would see the goodness of the Lord in  the land of the living.   Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,   And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” - Psalm 27:13-14 Father, we thank You that with You all things are possible.  All around us there are financial troubles, poverty, disease, depression, anxiety, divorces, confusion, disappointment, illness, loss, pain and grief.  The list goes on and on.  People are suffering, Father, and are clinging to the last vestiges of hope.   Lord, I lift up my friend.  You know precisely what weighs on their mind today, and which troubling thoughts strike fear in their heart.  Long seasons of struggle bring with them weariness and discouragement.  I cry out to You on their behalf, Lord.  You are able.  We ask for miracles.  Nothing is too difficult for You.  We ask that You take what the enemy intended for evil
