Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God! I'm tryna make my come-back yall... I hope your week has started off well so far. I will not go into detail about my absence, but I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you. I simply ask and thank you in advance for your continued prayers and support. I did however want to list a few praise reports that were passed to me during my absence... if you can think back that far, we prayed for my sister to be hired in the field of her education degree; she was hired for a health care facility, and loves her new job thus far. Additionally, we prayed for Tony, whose doctors could not determine what was ailing him. Turns out that a new prescription he was taking was causing the unexplained ailments; he has since stopped those medications and is now doing well. I'm not 100% positive if I was supposed to list the name, so I won't, but a co-worker informed me that her cancer is now in remission. So praise the Lord for those blessings. As far as prayer requests are concerned, aside from myself, I solicit unspoken prayers for those in my circle and in my family who shall remain unnamed; we are all dealing with some unique struggles that require God's divine and immediate intervention. Additionally, I forgot to ask her name but another co-worker's of mine wife is dealing with Huntington's Disease and he (last name Crimm) would like for us to pray for their strength as well. Until I am back in full-force, I will alternate between the traditional SOD and a daily devotional that is featured in today's lesson.
Don't forget that my non-profit organization will be participating in the Brain Tumor Society’s 2nd annual 5k walk/run. FMBS Inc. will be walking/running in honor of my dear friend, Jennifer Robinson, a brain tumor survivor. I would love for you to participate in the walk with us. Contact me with regard to your interest in this event, or simply “register” to “join a team” under my name (Tylesha Allen) or my company’s name (FMBS Inc.) for Team Jenn. If you would rather submit a monetary donation, you are more than welcome to do that as well. Either way, just copy and paste one of these two URL addresses: http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/Team_Jenn_R or http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/fmbs_4_Team_Jenn into your Internet browser to read Jennifer’s story, to join Team Jenn, or to make a pledge that will help us reach our fund-raising goal, also listed on our team page. I thank you in advance for spreading the word about this event; please SHARE these links with others, because so many people have suffered death as a result of brain tumors and brain cancers, and many others are also affected. Our efforts will bring researchers that much closer to a cure, and will help to better educate society. As we continue to work together to spread God’s Gospel, let us also encourage one another to take steps that lead to a healthy overall mind, body, and soul; TRANSFORM your body, mind, and soul by feeding your body healthy nutrition, and being cautious of what things you allow your eyes, ears, and spirits to be exposed to (e.g. media, books, TV, music, etc.). Have you fed your spirit today? CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN, so START YOUR TRANSFORMATION TODAY, because tomorrow is NOT promised. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity. God Bless!
Lord please clear our minds, and open our eyes and ears so that we may see, hear, and receive your intended message from this fellowship. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
Passage Luke 4:3-4 (NLT):
"Then the devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread." But Jesus told him, "No! The Scriptures say, 'People do not live by bread alone.'"
***Unless otherwise indicated, all scripture quotations are taken from the New Living Translation (NLT) of the Bible***
Thoughts for Today:
"The Holy Spirit led Jesus to the desert, where he was fasting for 40 days. And the Bible says, the devil tempted him for the duration of that 40 days. The first temptation Jesus faced in this wilderness experience involved hunger, and physical need. Is eating to satisfy our hunger wrong? Of course not. But Jesus had been led by the Spirit and had made a commitment to fast during this time period. To break the fast by putting his desire for food above his commitment to the Father would have been sin. There are many desires we experience day to day that are normal and good: To succeed on a job; To dress nicely; To engage in a hobby; To prosper financially; To enjoy shopping; To commit to a relationship; To spend time on the computer; Participating in a ministry; And the list goes on. These things are not wrong in themselves, but they are wrong if they become more important to us than our relationship with the Lord. God's plan and God's leading must always come first."
"Consider this..."
"Jesus responded to the temptation by quoting Scripture. "Man shall not live and be sustained by (on) bread alone [but by every word and expression of God" (AMP). In other words, spiritual matters and faithfulness to God are more important than physical needs.Take a moment to think about your life. Is there an area that is taking control? That is causing you to slide in your relationship with God? That is tempting you to make wrong choices? If so, now is the time to get back on track; To turn to God's Word; To say no to the temptation."

Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health, and strength. We ask for forgiveness of everything that we have thought, said, or did, that was not pleasing in your sight. Help us to release all negativity stored within. Father, we realize that there is an area in our lives that is causing us to slide in our relationship with you. We are looking to the scriptures for guidance. Please help us get back on track. Please pay special attention to each of our spoken and unspoken prayer requests Father, blessing us and intervening in our lives how you see fit. Give us the strength we need to forgive those who have wronged us, the same way you continuously grant forgiveness to us. Also, place upon those we may have wronged, the same desire that we too may be forgiven by them. More importantly Father, whatever guilt we place on self, allow us to release so that we may forgive ourselves. Bless us with a double portion of your Spirit Father. Close any and every unnecessary door that is open in our lives, and open supernatural doors to peace, prosperity, clarity, contentment, and happiness. Provide each of us with clear and concise revelations that we need in order to overcome the adversary. Help us to see, hear, and feel your presence through every trial and tribulation. Help us to reevaluate our lifestyles, and to rearrange our priorities, placing you at the top of our list. Provide discernment to know the difference between good and bad, right from wrong, and your will vs. our own desires. We thank you for provision, guidance, and protection from Satan’s attacks. By the authority in our words, we reverse all the negativity spoken into existence within our individual lives and the lives of our loved ones and associates. We take back everything the enemy has stolen from us, and bind every evil and malicious plot, plan, and scheme devised against us, in the matchless name of Jesus. Lord we also grant your angels permission to do our bidding on Earth without recourse, that we may be transformed into an image that mirrors your Son Jesus. This is our affirmation of faith Father God; we submit our petition to you in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Respectfully,
Tylesha "Tye" Allen
