Day 2 - Monday January 8, 2024
Today’s Theme: The Year of Miracles - All About Jesus
Today we’re going to pray one of the names of God.
Today the name is “Jesus is My Lord.”
Savior used 59 times, Lord is used over 7,000 times.
He wants full control of your life.
Philippians 2:6-11 (NIV)
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
How do you make Him Lord? Through death. We come here in this place of prayer to die.
Three times in Galatians we are told to crucify something
1. Crucify SELF
Take parts of me and give them to God (eyes, hands, mouth). I want to see what you see.
2. Crucify my flesh.
My appetites. The part of me that wants to go away from God.
Flesh - lust for things
Power Money and Sex (PMS)
We’re taking those parts of us that have appetite. We don’t follow feelings - we follow God.
3. Crucify the World.
Find a part of the world that is way too enamored - everytime you see it just say “God I don’t need that in my life.”
