Silence
1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.
Praise and Thanksgiving
1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 1:1-6, Genesis 1:1-2:25; Matthew 1:1-2:12, Proverbs 1:1-6)

Today's main passage:
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:1-6
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:1-6
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received today is: Sure Win Way for 2020
1. Way of the Holy Spirit
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked Psalm 1:1a
walk by the Spirit
led by the Spirit
live by the Spirit
keep in step with the Spirit Galatians 5:16,18,25
The Lord told me that Satan wants to try all his best to forbid us not being able to walk in step with the Holy Spirit. That's why sometimes when the Holy Spirit reminds us to do something and we do not do, when He warns us not to do something and we intentionally do that, the result is to walk in step with the wicked!
2. Way of Jesus
Blessed is the one who does not stand in the way that sinners take Psalm 1:1b
4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:4-6
The Lord told me that Satan wants to try all his best to forbid us not being able to walk in step with the Holy Spirit so that we cannot be with Jesus and to walk with Jesus, Jesus is the Way! The consequence is that we stand in the way that sinners take!
3. Way of Abba Father
Blessed is the one who does not sit in the company of mockers. Psalm 1:1c
20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Revelation 3:20-21
The Lord told me that Satan wants to try all his best to forbid us not being able to walk in step with the Holy Spirit so that we cannot be with Jesus and that we cannot sit with Abba in the Heavenly banquet because we sit with the wicked!
The Lord told me that Satan wants to try all his best to forbid us not being able to walk in step with the Holy Spirit so that we cannot be with Jesus and that we cannot sit with Abba in the Heavenly banquet because we sit with the wicked!
This is such a big New Year's gift to me from Abba Father, I do hope and pray that you also receive this as your big gift too!
Dear Abba Father,
Thank you for giving us this New Year's gift. Help us and protect us that Satan cannot be able to steal this gift from us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
