Our Daily Walk Introduction

Our names are Randy and Joan.  We've been married for 40 years.  We have 3 children, 13 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.  We grew up in the 60's and 70's and got caught up in the rebellion of the time along with the drug culture.  What started out as fun became a  trap to addiction and despair. In the early 80's God extended his love to us in the Person of  His Son Jesus, set us free and we have not looked back.  His love has gotten us through so much.  And as long as we have breath we'll continue to serve Him.  We're using this blog as a  way to convey some of the revelations God has poured into our spirits.  We're not ordained speakers but we

intend to share from our hearts.

 

 What if God's calling on our lives is not to a specific ministry,

but to a specific way of living?

 Romans 8:28

So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.

(TPT)

 1Thessalonians 5:16-18

Let joy be your continual feast.  Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.

(TPT) 

 1 Peter 2:15

For it is God’s will for you to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

(TPT)

 God has created us to fulfill a particular role in this life.  There is no one else who can attain completely what God has intentionally created you to do.

Ephesians 2:10
We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

(TPT)

 

 

 

God's Promise Of Mercy



 

 

He came to save us, not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of his extravagant mercy.  Titus 3:5 (TPT)

So now we come freely and boldly to where love is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.  Hebrews 5:16  (TPT)

Lord we know that mercy is one of the highest blessings you have to offer.  Sadly today’s society views it as a weakness and prides itself on strength, confidence and independence.  Father we cry out for mercy not only for ourselves but for our loved ones and friends.  May your mercy bring people to a place of forgiveness and a dependence on your grace.  Lord we thank you for the mercy of your Son Jesus who took our place on the cross.  We thank you for your abounding love and kindness.

Amen

~ Randy and Joan

Promise of Forgiveness

 

 

But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time.  God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1John 1:9 (TPT)

 

For I will demonstrate my mercy to them and will forgive their evil deeds, and never remember again their sins. 
Hebrews 8:12 (TPT)

 

Lord thank you for your gift of forgiveness.  Your love and mercy overwhelms us in spite of our faults and failures.  We clothe ourselves in your love and we won't allow our emotions to control our actions.  May your word saturate our minds and direct our thoughts.  We understand that there are no levels to your love.  We are all your children and know that your desire is that none of us would perish. 

Amen

~ Randy and Joan

 

 

 

God's Promise For Setting An Example

 

So if I'm your teacher and Lord and have just washed your dirty feet, then you should follow the example that I've  set for you and wash one another's dirty feet.  Now do for each other what I have just done for you.

John 13:14-15 (TPT)

Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your father as his beloved sons and daughters.  And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us.  His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration - a sweet healing fragrance.  

Ephesians 5:1-2 (TPT)

 

Heavenly Father thank you for your guidance.  Forgive me for the times that I do not follow your plans and go my own way.  Thank you for gently leading me back to the example you have given me through your son Jesus.  I need your Holy Spirit, strength, wisdom and direction.
Amen

~ Randy and Joan

 

 

God's Promise of Companionship

 

Don't be obsessed with money but live content with what you have, for you always have God's presence.  For hasn't he promised you, "I will never leave you alone, never!  And I will not loosen my grip on your life!"

Hebrews 13:5 (TPT)

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)

Whatever difficulties and problems you face in life be confident and sure of Him being your companion.  This results in comfort, compassion, calm and His perfect peace.  Our earthly friends may fail us or forsake us, but God will walk with us every step of the way and never leave us alone. 

~ Randy and Joan

 

God's Promise Of Truth

 

For God's word is something to sing about!  He is true to his promises, his word can be trusted, and everything he does is reliable and right. 
Psalm 33:4  (TPT)

Moses gave us the law, but Jesus, the Anointed One, unveils truth wrapped in tender mercy. 

John 1:17 (TPT)

Lord convict us and let us know when we are wrong.  So that we may come to you to seek forgiveness and mercy and an opportunity to make a correction.  Thank you for the truth of your word and the power of it.  Even though sometimes the truth hurts, we trust you with our lives.

~ Randy and Joan

God's Promise Of Power

Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this.  He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!  He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power continually energizes you. 

Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)

For thee kingdom realm of God comes with power, not simply impressive words. 

1Corinthians 4:20 (TPT)

We don't have to be subject to sickness, poverty, lack, insufficiency, bad relationships, fear, worry, stress, or anything else that is evil.  His authority is real and when we are saved and born again, it's available to us by faith.  If we don't like the way we are living we can use his power to turn our lives around.

Father, it often seems that might makes right and I stand no chance, but I know your power can overcome any issues that I face. When I am in despair, fill me with faith in your power. 

~ Randy and Joan
