Blood line

This can be applied to any person or ministry. Today are bishop elections in Central Florida and New York. Also, remember South Carolina, whose bishop has deposition charges filed against him.

Exodus 12:13 (KJV)
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

Joshua 2:12, 13, 17, 18 (KJV)
Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token: And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death. . . . And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.

God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of glory,

I thank You for Your great plan of redemption and for the Blood of the Lamb that washed me clean from my sins. Thank You for the delight in drawing near and knowing You. May I ever continue in Your presence that my spiritual understanding may open and unfold and that I will not fail to recognize the hope of Your calling, the riches of Your inheritance, and the greatness of Your power.
You raised Christ Jesus from the dead and set him at Your right hand in heaven, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, in every dimension and throughout time. You have put all things under his feet and made Him the head of the church.
God, You have quickened me, as a member of the church, together with Christ. In Christ Jesus, I have been raised and sit in heavenly places.

Satan, you are a defeated foe. By faith, Moses kept the passover and the sprinkling of the blood. By faith, Rahab delivered the spies and redeemed her family by the scarlet cord. By faith, I claim the Blood of the Lamb over the doorposts and lintels, the windows in the wall, and every spiritual portal of ______.

The Blood of the Lamb says to the angel of death, You must pass over. The Blood of Jesus, our Mediator of a new covenant, speaks a better, nobler, and more gracious message than the blood of Abel, Mercy, not vengeance.

Speak, O precious Blood, speak. Speak the way, the truth, and the life for _______. Speak that they may receive God’s kingdom, a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken.

Father, Your kingdom come, Your will be done in ______ today, as it is in heaven. Amen.
Ephesians 1 & 2, Hebrews 11 & 12

Revelation 22:17 and Isaiah 55:1-3

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” (Revelation 22:17a)
      Holy Spirit, help us heed your bidding and come. Help your bride, the Church, to say, “Come!”

And let him who hears say, “Come!” (Revelation 22:17b)
      Father, give us ears to hear and hearts to share your bidding call and tell others to come.

And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17c)
      Jesus, I thirst and I come to your living waters. I have no money, but I come to buy and eat what you freely offer. I come for your new wine and milk without money and without price. Thank you. (See Isaiah 55:1)

      Holy Spirit, help me repent of spending my money or what is not bread and my wages for what does not satisfy. Help me to listen to you carefully and eat what is good, and let my soul delight itself in your abundance. Thank you. (See Isaiah 55:2)

      Father, I turn my ear to you and come. Help me daily listen and hear so that my soul shall live and I will enter into your everlasting covenant and your sure and certain mercies. Thank you. (See Isaiah 55:3)

A word received: Pray for the poor and those in need of my help in this land.

Albany Intercessor

Georgia–Francis Sayre

The Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre Jr. (1915 — 2008) was Dean of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. for 27 years.

Cherish, Lord, the hardy spirit of Thy servants whose lives are rooted in the tawny earth of Georgia. Nurture in them the precious fibre of freedom wrested by their fathers from the upland clearings and workworn fields. Visit now upon the sons, in their towns and cities and burgeoning affairs, such fresh vision of Thy destiny that they may ever be knit together in fruitful life and liberty, planting deep the seed of courage by their abounding streams, and winning Thy blessing upon the goodly land; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lyman Hall

Georgia governor and signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Lyman Hall’s epitaph reads as follows:

“Beneath this stone rest the remains of the Hon. Lyman Hall, Formerly Governor of this State, who departed this life the 19th of Oct., 1790, in the 67th year of his age.”
”In the cause of America he was uniformly a patriot. In the incumbent duties of a husband and a father he acquitted himself with affection and tenderness. But, reader, above all, know from this inscription that he left the probationary scene as a true Christian and an honest man.”
