God’s Daily Inspiration, written by Rev James Erick. Feb 23,2022. Studied in the King James Bible. GOD KNOWS BEST We are blessed to have a God who offers us the privilege to reach out to him from anywhere and at any time. Through our faith we pray to our Father God in Heaven knowing he hears and receives our prayers, and he does answer them according to his will. See> (Luke 11:2) 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Everyday many of God's people around the world pray for many different needs. Often, we pray for things we believe we need, things we feel are good for us but God knows they will be bad for us in the long run. Therefore, our Father does not provide them because he knows what is best for his children. When this happens do not be upset or mad at God. Instead trust God's decisions in faith knowing he knows what is best for us. See> (Jeremiah 29:11)11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Remember, no matter how much we think we are right about a need or for whatever the whatever is we are not always right. We all are blessed to have our Father in Heaven look out for us and our lives are in good hands. My final thoughts. When we pray for good things that come from God >Refer to> … we will not do without them. See> (Psalm 34:10)10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Because all things good come from God See> (James :1-17)17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Our Morning Prayer Together. Father God, help us trust and accept your decisions rather than be upset with you. In the name of your Son Jesus Christ, we pray amen.

God’s Daily Inspiration written by Rev James Erick Jan 21, 2022. Studied with the King James Bible WHITER THAN SNOW Because we believe in our Father God, our heart desires him to create in us a clean heart filled with the Holy Spirit. See> (Psalm 51:7)7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Also See> (Psalm 51:10)10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. We know in faith we will never be cast away from God’s presence, and the Holy Spirit will always be with us. See> (Psalm 51:11) Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. My final thoughts. With the Holy Spirit’s leadership and our Lord's Guidance, God gives every one of his Children their opportunity to learn his word. Then we need to teach God’s lost people that we have a God who loves all of us unconditionally. Let his lost people know that his love and grace is available to them, upon all his people giving them a chance to come back to him. See> (Psalm 51:13)13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Teach them how their souls can live on with God forever in Heaven, after their earthly bodies die. So, let all of us with voice open our lips giving praise to our Father God in Heaven, for all the world to hear. For he alone is worthy of our praise. See> (Psalm 51:15)15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. Our morning prayer together Father God, through your grace we were cleansed whiter than snow, and our souls will live on with you in your kingdom of Heaven. For this we ask for your help in leading those who are lost find their way back to you Father. We pray for your Spirit to help us live our lives serving your cause Father. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray amen. May we all walk under our Lord and Savior's Guidance Copyright © 2022RevJamesErick

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 19, 2022. Studied with the KJV WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WE ARE ABLE Christians strive hard to help our Father God in Heaven expand his Kingdom. A Christian does not hide the Christ in them like a coward when they are in public. But rather they strive hard at doing the best they can with Christ to encourage and lead God's lost people to him. See> (1 Timothy 4:6)6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained We must all strive to lead others by our example of how we try to live right for Christ. See> (1 Timothy 4:12) 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. My final thoughts. When Christians truly strive to live their lives serving God’s purpose, they will notice God getting more involved in their lives. God’s peace soothes and relaxes their thoughts, helping them hear his voice of reason and direction. See> (John 16:13)13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Our Father's council comes from the Holy Ghost within us, when we listen all things work for the good. See> (Romans 8:28)28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ... Our Morning Prayer Together. Father God, we are blessed to be your children filled with the Holy Spirit who guides and leads us. With your spirit guidance we learn and grow with you... We thank you Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray amen. May we all walk under our Lord and Savior's Guidance Copyright © 2022RevJamesErick

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 18, 2022. Studied with the KJV SINNERS TEACH SINNERS We are Christians because we acknowledge we have and had transgressions against our Father God’s laws, and understand we are all sinners. Therefore, believing in God’s son Jesus Christ, we sought after his forgiveness of our sin after we confessed them to him. Refer> (John 3:16) ... Then Christ’s sacrificed blood, paid the debt of our sins. See> (Matthew 26:28)28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Now that we became God’s Children, we need to seek his wisdom. So together with Christ we can help lead our Father’s lost back to him by teaching them their Father in Heaven's glorious plan for their salvation. See> (Psalm 51:13) 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. My final thoughts. God tells us that none of us are righteous See (Romans 3:10)10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Therefore if a person says he does not sin, do not believe a word he speaks knowing we all are sinners. Refer> (1 John 1:8). Because I am a Christian gives reason for my everyday desire to seek God's wisdom. Then together with my Lord’s help and the Holy Spirit's lead, we can teach God's glorious plan of salvation to others, amen. See> (Psalm 51:13) Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Our morning prayer together Father God, we are blessed to be your children because we acknowledge our transgressions against your will, and sought after your Son's forgiveness. So, this morning Father, we ask you to help us to help your lost find their way to you. In the name of your Son Jesus Christ, we all pray amen.

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 17, 2022. Studied with the KJV LIVING CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLES It's always going to happen, being a Christian means there will be times when we'll become anxious. Anxious and uneasy because loved ones who do not follow our faith made decisions for us. Decisions we would never have chosen or agreed to which could affect our Christian walk. Things such as, 'a free lifetime membership to an app that offers endless new release movies, but it also offers free adult movies. When or if this happens, we need to lean on our Father God for his strength. See> (1 Chronicles 16:11) 11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. My final thoughts. Remember, God created all living things for him. This includes mankind, therefore we need to live Christian lifestyles the way our Father God planned for us, when he created us for him. See> (Colossians 1:16)16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: ... The way we live our lives, and how we act should always reflect our Father’s goodness in us. We are different because we believe in God, and by living Christian lifestyles our loved ones will see God in us, and know God's real in our lives. We are blessed by God to have and enjoy our new lives with him; therefore, we should bless others by living and sharing God’s plan for us, that they may desire what God has planned for them. Our morning Prayer together Father God, we know our only hope or chance of living right for you is with your help. Please help us when or if we become anxious over a decision our loved ones made for us that is ungodly. Help us remain focused on your goodness rather than on things that displease you Father. In the name of your Son Jesus Christ, we pray amen. May we all walk under our Lord and Savior's Guidance Copyright © 2022RevJamesErick

God’s Daily Inspiration, WKD Edition, by Rev James Erick. Jan 15-16, 2022. Studied in the KJV ACCORDING TO HIS WILL Julie is twenty-seven years old and for most of her years she was constantly fighting an endless battle with her lack of patients, being, that she has no patients’… Julie was incapable of dealing with her lack of patients alone which caused her years of frustrations and bitterness between her friends, family, and herself. She had been seen by several different therapists but none of them were able to help her to maintain patients. Then it happened, one morning while reading the classifieds an ad caught Julie’s attention sending chills down her spine along with goosebumps running up and down her arms. The ad read, My final thoughts ‘Give God a Chance,’ Lay down your anxiety, your fears, and troubles. Come seek God's help on our next Gathering located at HEAVENS GATES AWAIT YOU CHRIST CHURCH On Thank-you-God-street. Julie attended the gathering unfamiliar with how God works through faith, yet she learned to trust in faith that God will help her conquer her endless battle with controlling her lack of patients. Then later during the gathering Several women of God along with the Spirit of Christ led Julie to Christ whom she gave her life to. They told her to be humble in prayer with thanksgiving for God to help her deal with patients. See> (Philippians 4:6)6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. They told her to pray for her requests to be answered according to God’s will. After Julie prayed for God to help her maintain her patients she felt no further need to care or stress over her problem knowing she followed God’s instructions. Therefore, we know in confidence when we pray for our request to be our Fathers will to help us physically. Or help us to overcome such things like Julie's lack of patients. God hears our prayers and answers according to his will. See> (1 John 5:14)14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: We are blessed to have confidence in knowing God tells us to pray believing what we desire we’ll receive from God. See> (Mark 11:24) 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Our morning Prayer together. Father God, we come this morning with thankful hearts, knowing that you are true to your word. That the things we cannot conquer by ourselves we can rest assured it is your will for us to conquer with you, that your will, will be done. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray amen.

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 14, 2022. Studied with the KJV ORDAINED BY GOD We are followers of Jesus Christ because we believe in his Father God Almighty. We believe God created this world and all life on it including man. We believe God created man to love one another, and to take care of each other as he enjoys fellowshipping with us. It is because we strive hard to live our lives to serve our Father God's purpose that we have received our inheritance from our Father God. We have been ordained by God to serve his purpose. See> (Ephesians 1:11)11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: I have chosen to preach because I want people to understand God has already chosen us to be his people. My final thoughts We are chosen to be God’s people because that is what our Lord Jesus Christ wanted. And God keeps everything in agreement with the decisions he makes. See> (John 15:16)16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Every Christian who actively serves God, even if all they can do is pray over things in the name of Jesus Christ has been ordained by God. We are blessed to inherit such an honor being ordained by our Father God in Heaven to serve his purpose. Amen… Our morning prayer together Father God, because of your love for us your grace is upon us, that we who believe can serve your purpose. With the Holy Spirit's leadership as we follow your voice Father, we will serve your cause to the best of our ability. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray amen. Note: There are those who lurk around us who push their belief that a Pastor, a Reverend or any other servant of God’s needs to show or reveal to others they have credentials to serve God. To those people I would like to express that a piece of paper given by man is nothing without God first choosing that person to serve his purpose.

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 13, 2022. Studied with the KJV BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN (Psalm 30:5) 5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. For most of us we have had the tendency to become overwhelmed in sadness, and sometimes we have reached the point where we do not give God our troubles. As God’s Children we need to remember to trust in knowing that our Father does not want us to be sad or upset. In fact, God tells us he will comfort his blessed that mourn. See> (Matthew 5:4)4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. My final thoughts. We must never forget to talk to God under all circumstances. Because we love him, he is in control of all things for our own good. See> (Romans 8:28)28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. So, stay strong in faith, knowing we are God’s blessed children as we walk with Christ, placing our trust in our Father God and his goodness. Our morning prayer together Father God, help us stay focused on your goodness, knowing we can seek your comfort during any circumstance in our lives. We thank you Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, we pray amen. May we all walk under our Lord and Savior's Guidance Copyright © 2022RevJamesErick.

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 12, 2022. Studied with the KJV UNDER THE INFLUENCE “With the Holy Spirit's guidance there is no limit to one's capability when they are under the influence of the Holy Ghost.” One of the biggest problems with our children's disobedience today is the lack of positive examples of God's goodness from their parents. But the good news is God will help parents raise their children if they seek his help and guidance. With Christ we can raise our children without anger with the discipline and instructions of our Lord. See> (Ephesians 6:4)4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. My final thoughts Under the influence of the Holy Ghost, and with our Lord's guidance we can be a positive example of our Father God's goodness for our families. We can teach our children the value of God's ways rather than man's ways, giving them positive influences of God’s love. See> (Proverbs 22:6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. We are blessed with our Father God in Heaven who helps us teach our children his values. Let us bless others with his teachings. Our morning prayer together. Father God, we thank you for our ability to stay under the influence of the Holy Spirit. That with our Lord's guidance we can raise our children to be obedient rather than disobedient. We thank you Father, in the name of your Son Jesus Christ, we pray amen.

God’s Daily Inspiration by Rev James Erick. Jan 11, 2022. Studied with the KJV GOD WANTS YOU IN HEAVEN God is always with us, and he desires our hearts to love and believe he is our Father God. And folks if we can do that, we begin to know our Father God far more than just calling upon Him with our concerns and our problems. That’s right, as we live our lives with God, we learn how much God loves us beyond our own understanding of love. It’s true, it doesn’t matter to God who we are or which road we have been traveling. He’ll hang around waiting for us to call on his unconditional love. Why? Because God loves all his people, he wants us all to seek repentance and receive His promises. See> (2 Peter 3:9) 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. … We are blessed to have a God who wants to be everyone’s Father God. He wants all His people to confess their sins to His Son Jesus Christ and accept Him into their lives as their Lord and Savior. See> (1 John 1:9) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. My final thoughts. Once we’ve been saved, God needs us to stay focused on His Son Jesus Christ, study God’s word and learn how to live as Christ lived by the examples given by Christ himself; See> (Philippians 3:17) 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. God wants us to move forward in our lives with Him leading our way. He wants us to share and teach His good news for all the world to know. See> (Matthew 28:18-20) 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen . Our Morning Prayer Together Father God, we ask your help with those who don’t know your love to find it. Lead them to one of us and help us lead them to you Father. We pray your love and grace be upon them so that they may know you. In the name of your Son Jesus Christ, we pray amen.
