- December 14
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” (1 John 5:14, 15). As believers, we can approach God with confidence, knowing He always hears prayers aligned with His will. Because of this, we can trust that He’ll grant what we request.

“Then Jesus told him, ‘I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.’ Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, ‘Are you saying we’re blind?’ ‘If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,’ Jesus replied. ‘But you remain guilty because you claim you can see’” (John 9:39-41, NLT). Jesus came to turn the physical, carnal world upside down. Those who are spiritually blind, such as highly religious people, will be offended by His message of grace.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 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” (Matthew 28:19, 20). Christ commands us to share His Word—and His love—with everyone. As we do, He goes with us to empower us to do His will.
- December 11
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Jesus assures His presence when believers gather in His name. Even a small group can experience His nearness because He wants to be with us.

“Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me” (Psalm 51:11). In the Old Testament, David had to plead for God’s presence to remain with him because he feared losing the Holy Spirit because of sin. Now, we no longer have to beg God not to leave us, because He now lives inside of us and promises to always be with us.
- December 9
“Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]” (Hebrews 13:5, AMPC). God promises never to fail or abandon His people, no matter the circumstances. He’s emphatic about this because He wants us to be confident and secure, without a doubt, about His unwavering faithfulness.
- December 8
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The world pushes many different philosophies at us, one of which says that there are many ways to get to heaven. These are based in self-effort; the only way to heaven is by accepting Christ and trusting in Him.
- December 7
“But now Jesus the Messiah has accepted a priestly ministry which far surpasses theirs, since he is the catalyst of a better covenant which contains far more wonderful promises!” (Hebrews 8:6, TPT). Under the law, the promises man operated by were punishment and death for less-than-perfect performance. Under grace, the promises we inherit are forgiveness, mercy, and compassion, even when we miss the mark and fall short.
- December 6
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance” (Hebrews 9:15). Jesus accepted death on a cross to replace the old covenant of the law with the new covenant of grace. Our sins—past, present, and future—have been redeemed, and we’ve been forgiven. We now have access to all the good things promised in the Bible.
- December 5
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). In the Old Testament, there was no one to advocate before God on behalf of man, but that has since changed. Jesus is now the mediator who stands between us and God; He alone reconciles people to God and to each other.

“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).
The law served its purpose in its time, but we were never supposed to live under it permanently. It was given to point mankind to Jesus and make him realize His need for a Savior; once Jesus came, the law was no longer necessary.

“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMPC).
Only through the proper interpretation of God’s Word can we discern His will under the new covenant of grace. The Old Testament was written for our learning, but the New Testament was written for our living.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him” (Philippians 2:13, NLT).
The Holy Spirit in us can do amazing things. When we’re doing our own thing with no thought for what God planned for us, He causes us to want to be in His plan.

“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God” (1 John 4:15).

“For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him” (1 Corinthians 12:14-18).
As the body of Christ, the church has many members, each person blessed with their own unique gifts and talents. Regardless of individual differences, everyone in God’s plan has their own calling.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:26, 27).
We live in a backward, patriarchal world, but God’s original plan was equality between men and women. Sin spoiled this; it took Jesus’ coming to restore that balance back to what the Father intended.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
When we got born again, we became God’s children and were moved out of the enemy’s kingdom of darkness into His kingdom of light. We’re now free to live as such in an environment where we no longer fit in.
