1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (The Voice Bible)


12Brothers and sisters, we ask you to show appreciation to those who are working hard among you and those who are your leaders as they guide and instruct you in the Lord—they are priceless. 13When you think about them, let it be with great love in your heart because of all the work they have done. Let peace live and reign among you.

DAY 6 - DAILY DEVOTION - MAY 30, 2012

Touching, Feeling, & Healing


Luke 8:46 (GW) “Jesus said, “Someone touched me. I know power has gone out of me.”


When my third daughter Aliyah was born, she had some breathing problems. She was inside a little incubator hooked up to all these cords.  Every time we would reach our hand inside the tube to touch her, her heart rate would rise and get higher and higher.   We would just barely even touch her and she knew that someone had touched her.


I have to ask you- Are you touching Jesus to where He knows that you touched Him?  And, is His healing power going out from Him?


Just one touch of the hem of His garment or just one whisper or cry to Him & that same healing power can go out from Him- to you!  Reach out, reach out, I need to say it again, Reach Out & Touch Him!


Will you be so determined to reach out & touch Him?  I like what the New Living Translation says,  “Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.”


Just a few verses before that it said that Jesus was on his way and the crowds almost crushed him.  Can you imagine all the people trying to get to Jesus to see what’s going on or just to touch him.  It could have cost that lady her life, but she didn’t care.  This lady made a desperate decision and got her miracle.  Believe in your heart & go get what you need from Him!


I encourage you to be deliberate & touch Him and as you do, His Healing Power will fall all over you in Jesus Name!

DAY 6 - DAILY PRAYER (PASTORS) - MAY 30, 2012

May 30


Abba Father,

We pray today for the strength and anointing of the Holy Spirit on the Pastors of our churches.  Send Your Holy Spirit in the visible from of a dove to rest upon their shoulder, giving them purity and innocence as they reflect You and Your Son in their daily lives.  


Consecrate the men and women whom you alone have placed as leaders in Your body 'the church' as righteous and Holy in Your sight.  Protect their hearts and minds from compromise to the temptations of this Earthly world, and the desires of their flesh.  


Lord, as you have set them apart from the flock to guide Your sheep - empower them to lead with a staff of correction and righteousness which is becoming obsolete in today's church.  Speak to them with fresh words of inspiration, and settle their spirit with words of praise and encouragement.  


Prevail in their hearts, so that they might love Your people as You love them.  Speak to them in visions and dreams - guiding their thoughts and actions from this day forward.  


Design in them an unrelenting passion to seek the lost, and foster relationships.  


And Lord, give them a burning desire in their hearts to seek you without yielding.  Place your mighty hand of protection upon them to stave off the enemy, and defend against insidious and visible attacks of Satan and his demons.

We ask these things for the continued fortification of Your men and women that you place over Your flock in Jesus' Mighty Name.  Amen!

DAY 6 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR MAY 30, 2012

May 30

Southern women scattered spring flowers on the graves of both the Northern and Southern soldiers who died during the Civil War. 


This was the origin of Memorial Day, which in 1868 was set on MAY 30. 


In 1968, it was moved to the last Monday in May. 


From the Spanish-American War, to World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, War against Islamic Terror, up through the present, all who gave their lives to preserve America's freedom are honored on Memorial Day. 


Beginning in 1921, the tradition has been for Presidents to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 


The number 21 being the highest salute, the sentry takes 21 steps, faces the tomb for 21 seconds, turns and pauses 21 seconds, then retraces his steps. 


Inscribed on the Tomb is the phrase: 


"HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD." 


In his 1923 Memorial Address, President Calvin Coolidge stated: 


"There can be no peace with the forces of evil. Peace comes only through the establishment of the supremacy of the forces of good. 


That way lies through sacrifice...'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.'"
