WEEK TWENTY FIVE

*Added a very special video to this...because everyone thought of it now and I had it for later but I moved it here for us to enjoy with an old WFW I did...

The Name of Jesus for this week with Ann Spangler at Crosswalk.com

You may go HERE to find out more and follow along daily at Crosswalk. com with the devotional of Ann Spangler, "Praying the Names of Jesus" as Ann shares Our Redeemer!

The Name

Without a Redeemer willing and able to pay the high price necessary to liberate us from the power of sin, the story of our lives in this world would be nothing but a story of hopelessness. But because of Christ’s redemptive love, we look forward with hope to a day when the world itself will be completely liberated from the power of sin and death.

Until then we can express our faith in Christ by echoing the words of Scripture: “I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And . . . in my flesh I will see God”

Job 19:25-26

Key Scripture

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45

Lord, you paid for me with the most valuable currency of all. May the investment you have made appreciate to your glory. Help me to live in a way that expresses your redeeming love so that many others may know you as their Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

I had this chosen for later this week, but since everyone is thinking of it, I added it here. Clearly this is what comes to many of us as we think of Our Redeemer!

I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES!

We're joining

Amy @ Signs, Miracles and Wonders

This past week in "PRAYING THE NAMES OF JESUS" with Ann Spangler, that we are looking at here at THE POWER OF YOUR LOVE each week, we examined the scriptures and the role of SERVANT. 


This song by Christy Nockels just seems to go well with this. Jesus was the perfect example of how to be a servant. Now we should serve Him as Master.

He is MY MASTER!

Why not make Him yours if He isn't?

WEEK TWENTY FOUR

The Name of Jesus for this week with Ann Spangler at Crosswalk.com

Hope you will join us each Friday(or anytime during that weekend)sharing from what we read or would like to share about the Name of Jesus for that week.

You may go HERE to find out more and follow along daily at Crosswalk. com with the devotional of Ann Spangler, "Praying the Names of Jesus" Hopefully, you have signed up and are receiving her e-votionals or have her book so you can join us or just read the following from the Word & her book, so you can share this weekend.

The Name

Like most of us, Jesus’ disciples were sometimes caught up with a sense of their own self-importance, at times even arguing with each other about which of them was greatest. Jesus startled them by reversing the natural order in which it is the weak who serve the strong. He assured them, instead, that he came not in order to control and dominate but in order to serve.

Though prophets, judges, and kings were called servants of God in the Bible, Jesus is the greatest of all God’s servants, the Man of Sorrows who laid down his life in obedience to his Father. He is the Servant who through his suffering has saved us. When you pray to Jesus as Servant or as the Man of Sorrows, you are praying to the Lord who has loved you in the most passionate way possible, allowing himself to be nailed to a cross in order that you might have life and have it to the full.

Key Scriptures

He was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. Isaiah 53:3, NLT

The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. Matthew 20:28

See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted. . . . My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, sprouting from a root in dry and sterile ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected — a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed!

Isaiah 52:13; 53:2 – 5, NLT

Matthew 20:26 – 28

Lord, I was like a bruised reed you would not break, a smoldering wick you would not put out. Instead you allowed yourself to be pierced for my transgressions, crushed for my iniquities. You were despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. The punishment that brought me peace was placed on you. My Lord and my God, I worship you.

The Servant Songs in Isaiah (42:1 – 4; 49:1 – 7; 50:4 – 9; 52:13 – 53:12) all speak of a mysterious Servant who would bring justice to the nations.

Make your attitude the same as that of Christ Jesus.

(1 Corinthians 9:19 – 23; Philippians 2:3 – 11; Hebrews 10:5 – 7)

Be ready when the Master comes. (Matthew 24:42 – 51)

Let's prepare our hearts this week to be ready for when the Master comes!

THE SHEPHERD

HIS ROD and HIS STAFF

From Ann Spangler's study this week:

Spend time today thanking the Good Shepherd for watching over and protecting you. Then ask him to show you any thought patterns that are at work to lead you away from him. As you pray, you may discover habitual thoughts — anxious, greedy, lustful, complaining, or envious thoughts — that tend to dominate your mind. Bring whatever you find before the Good Shepherd in prayer, telling him that you no longer want these patterns to dominate your mind and heart. Then imagine him as the living gate, standing guard over your mind, protecting you from anything or anyone who wants to enter without his permission. Ask for the grace to listen for his voice so that you may lie down in peace, confident of his watchful, loving care. ~ Ann Spangler
