Please join me in praying for our sister in Christ.
Prayer: Praise be to You, the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, for You have blessed Marche' in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. We reverence You and worship You in spirit and in truth. As Marche' declares her servitude to You, we pray she is acknowledging and welcoming the presence of Your Holy Spirit every where she goes. We thank You, Father, that Your Son, Jesus, is with her and her family because they gather together in Your name.
LORD God, Your divine power has given Marche' everything she needs for life and godliness through her knowledge of You Who called her by Your own glory and goodness. Thank You, LORD. We pray that Marche' continues to declare the authority of Your Word that her family will be mighty in the land; this generation of the upright will be blessed.
Father, You delight in the prosperity of Your people; and we thank You that wealth and riches are in Marche's house and that their righteousness endures forever,
Continue to bless this year for Your child, dear LORD; and every year to come. You love her, you care about her and you watch over her. In the mighty name of Jesus, Your Holy Son. Amen.
Happy birthday Sweetie!

Mark 6:6-13
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
Then Jesus went from village to village, teaching the people. 7 And he called his twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. 8 He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick—no food, no traveler's bag, no money. 9 He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes.
10 "Wherever you go," he said, "stay in the same house until you leave town. 11 But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate."
12 So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God. 13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pious Jews shook the dust from their feet after passing through Gentiles cities or territory to show their separation from Gentile influences and practices. When the disciples shook the dust from their feet after leaving a Jewish town, it was a vivid sign that they wished to remain separate from people who had REJECTED Jesus and His message. Jesus made it clear that all who heard the gospel were responsible for what they did with it. The disciples were not to blame if the message was rejected, as long as they had faithfully and carefully presented it.
Did you notice that the disciples were sent out in pairs? Individually they could have reached more areas of the country, but this was not Christ's plan. One advantage in going out by twos was that they could strengthen and encourage each other, especially when they faced rejection. Our strength ultimately comes from God, but He meets many of our needs through our teamwork with others. As you serve Christ, don't try to go it alone. And even without extensive preparation, trust in God's care completely rather than in our own resources.
Get ready for a "burden-lift": We are NOT responsible when others reject Christ's message of salvation. Our responsibility is to share the Good News clearly and faithfully.

Personal Prayer: Heavenly Father, I desire Your Will over my life. And Your Will is centered on Jesus. LORD, let my life's work, everything that I do, be in line with Your Will. Let everything that I do bring You glory. Show me how to be faithful to the responsibility that You have given me. Trusting you every step of the way; keeping myself open to the teachers and partners you set in front of me; and making sure I am sharing Your Good News clearly and faithfully. I pray that each person that I share with, adheres to their responsibility and does not miss out on Your sweetness, by rejecting Your Son. I pray for their souls, and I thank You for saving mine. May I increase, to be an increased blessing to each person You set before me. In Jesus' Name- It is not just about me. Amen.
