Hebrews 7:19

(for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

You Lord Jesus are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind You Jesus are priest forever. You are the guarantor of a better covenant. I praise You Lord and thank You for the gift that through You I may draw near to God the Father. Thank You Jesus for making intercession for us. You are holy, innocent unstained and perfect in every way exalted above the heavens. Thank You Lord for true and final forgiveness, the day has come by Your decree that You have established a new covenant, not the one when You delivered them from Egypt, for they did not continue in Your covenant. I thank You for Your mercy and remembering my sin no more. Thank You for blessing me with Your Holy Spirit to speak boldly the truth of Your grace. To love the unlovable, to encourage the weak and faint of heart, to heal and reconcile the lost back to You Father through the gift of Your Son. May all I do and say bring glory to You Jesus. With all my heart I love You. Amen.

Hebrews 8

Hebrews 6:7-8

For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessings from God; but if it bears thrones and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. 

Heavenly Father I believe Your word is truth and instructs us in the way we are to go. I confess that reading the passages of scripture as written in Hebrews 6 are very difficult and cause me to tremble. As I think about my loved ones who have heard the truth and have not yet come to saving faith. They have veered off the narrow road or for the ones who have shelved their faith for later use, my heart breaks and sorrow overwhelm me at the lies they believe. Save them Father. I cannot fathom the dread of being cursed by You, being burned or why anyone would desire that when You are so merciful and gracious to send Your spotless Lamb Jesus to pay for our sins. Please Lord, lean Your ear to hear my cries to save them from eternity apart from You. I'm no great theologian, not a scholarly authority, I just know I was lost and now am found. You have poured living water on me to receive the blessing of eternal life with You. May the cultivation of prayer the going forth weeping in tear-filled petitions would one day soon reap a harvest of joy as You turn the sinning heart of my family, friends and those around me to You the great I AM. Please Lord, break their harden hearts before it's too late. Remove the thorns and briers, break up the soil and remove the hearts of stone, please bring forth the blessings of hearts of flesh. You know my deepest wants; my one true desire is for me and my house to serve You always and to be a home of prayer united in the bonds of Your love. Holy and Gracious Father pour out Your Spirit and grant that today would be the day of salvation. I pray in the name of Jesus the Messiah. Amen. 

Hebrew 6, Matthew 13:1-23, Psalm 126:5

Exodus 20:16

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 

Morning Good Teacher. My greeting is not just a respectful formal greeting to a religious teacher but one with awe reverence of who You are Jesus. As I read and study Your Holy Word, Your Spirit counsels me and I am grateful beyond measure. The teachers of the law didn't recognize there is only One good and that is You God. May we love You Lord with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. You have taught us to owe no one anything except to love one another. Love does no harm to a neighbor. May the words of truth of Your great love for us that You poured out from the cross be on our lips. We love ourselves and others when we bear witness of truth, so Lord two things I ask, remove falsehood and lying far from us. You Lord have instructed us to teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables, mythologies, and pantheistic paganism which all bear false witness against You but to love from a pure heart, good conscience and from sincere faith. Help us Lord to not stray turning aside to idle talk or desiring to teach the law being loveless and legalistic with impure hearts and motives. Remind us of Your instruction without love we promotes legalism. But what Lord is the proper function of the law but to make sinners aware of our sinfulness and our need of You, our Savior. I bear witness of this truth as I am a wild olive branch gratefully grafted. Today Lord may we be bold in our speech as we testify of the Good News that You have saved us from the bondage of law and our own sin. Thank You Jesus for loving us and teaching us the Way we should go. May we never depart from it. In Your great name we pray and give thanks. Amen.

Mark 10:17-22 and 1 Timothy 1:3-11

1 John 3:14

We know we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 

Heavenly Father, how gracious You are, so loving and kind to remember our labors of love. I pray we Your sons and daughters don't become sluggish in welldoing but imitates those who through faith and patience inherit the promise. You have blessed us to be a blessing to others so empower us to fulfill the great commission to share the Good News with the world. Our love for fellow believers bears witness and is the evidence of ones who have passed from death to life so may we continue to shine for Jesus who saved us from the grip of darkness. May the message we heard from the beginning to love one another, not to be as Cain who was wicked and murdered his brother. Oh, that we would emanate the love of Jesus who is merciful and kind reconciling us to You our Father who is in heaven. Lord we are living in such a dark time when it is evident that sin has taken over the hearts and minds of those bound in various religions. But Jesus You came to set the captives free and there is no greater love than Yours. You laid down Your life to redeem that which is lost. Help us to desire to lay down our own lives for the brethren. May are arms be open to the wounded, broken and persecuted. May You open our eyes today to see those in need and put joy in our hearts to be generous in words and deeds. We stand on Your promise, love covers a multitude of sin, pour out Your Spirit so love will abound more and more so there will be peace. I Your name Jesus I pray. Amen.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful. and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Holy Father your message is alive and active, it penetrates my inner most parts. You distinguish between my thoughts and intentions what is natural and what is spiritual, amazing. Reveal to me Lord the error of my ways by exposing to me my natural and spiritual motivations in my heart. I desire to be instructed by Your Holy Spirit and am very grateful that Jesus is the great High Priest. To stand before You naked and exposed totally defenseless fills me with much more awe wonder of Jesus sacrifice on the cross making a way for me to come boldly to Your throne of grace. I desire that nothing of my natural inclinations come between us causing me to be separated from Your love. Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I hold fast to my confession Jesus is my Lord and Savior and thank You Father for giving us Your Son and leaving Your Spirit here until the work on earth is done. As I meditate on the truth the high priest of Israel passed through the courts and veils to into the Most Holy place, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for You are Our High Priest who has passed through the heavens to the very presence of God where You Jesus sit at His right hand. Thank You for thinking of me in my wretched state and not leaving me there. May the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart bring honor to YOU forever. I love You Lord. Amen.

Hebrews 2:18

For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Gracious and Loving Father I come before You today in thanksgiving for all the things You have done and continue to do for me. You have delivered me from the powers of darkness, have been my refuge and strength. Daily I surrender my will into Your care and worry not because You are my every present help in my hour of need. Great is Your faithfulness. Jesus, I acknowledge You were tempted BUT You never surrendered to it. Since You know what it is like to be tempted and tried, You know how to assist us who are being tempted. I call upon You Lord to walk with me this day and lead me in the way of victory, so You may receive all the glory and honor due Your great name. I praise You for Your shed blood that cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Jesus You are superior to the mediators of the mosaic law, You are superior to Moses himself, being our great High Priest atoning for my sin and the sins of this world. I pray today when we hear Your voice, we wouldn't harden out hearts as in rebellion, as in the day of trials in the wilderness. By Your Holy Spirit may Your children endure to the end. I praise You Jesus for the convent that You established is more glorious than the convent established at Mt. Sinai. While Moses was a faithful servant You Jesus are the Son of God. Moses's work pointed us to You, and we are grateful. Help us Holy Spirit to boldly share the good news with those around us who are bumping into things in the dark, being tempted in various ways. Reconcile the lost to Yourself Lord. May all glory forever be Yours Jesus. In Your name I pray. Amen.

Hebrews 3

Proverbs 30:4

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, If you know?

Heavenly Father your name is Abba and Your Son is Jesus! You are exalted above all the earth. Great is Your name and greatly You are praised. Every word of God is pure; and You are a a shield to those who put their trust in You. For some Lord this riddle has no answer, but You Jesus are the way, the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father without coming to the cross first. Father, I pray for all my loved ones to be born again, please hear my concern for their souls and open their heart and minds to the truth they are sinners in need of a Savior, No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is the Son of Man who is in heaven. For You God loved the world so much that You gave Your only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have ever lasting life. Two things I ask of You Lord deny me not before I die, remove falsehood and lying from my loved ones and set them free to be new creations in Christ Jesus. No more practicing of evil because evil hates the light because it exposes wicked deeds. Your precious blood Jesus washes away all the guilty sin and shame. Do the greatest miracle of all, save them, I beseech You Lord. Be glorified. In Your matchless name Jesus, I give thanks and pray, Amen,
