Heavenly Father, I want to praise You for loving us and for allowing us to be standing in Your hand as a person who loves You and has Your love in return. I ask You to really hold onto our family and keep us close to You. I ask that You will be with us all who are reading this book and getting into the praying that the enemy would not get a hold in our lives. We pray over our families and extended families. In Our Precious Jesus Name, Amen!! We want prayer with power - strategic prayer power in our lives. We need the pray strong enough to activate God's people, in the kind of prayer that can rescue lives before they get out of control. In our families we need to make a deliberate choice to stop fighting each other and fight instead with that enemy. The person living in your life is not the enemy. They are the ones that we fight, but not the ones that are our enemies. We need to pray that our families are bulletproof against the attacks of the enemy. Our families are a big deal, they are worth saving and being known as an eternal and unchanging Godly lives. Our lives should mirror the love story between God and mankind. We do not want him to put tension, and disunity into our families. We want strong peaceful bonds that hold our families together and stand for God. It is not the person you need to be fighting, it is the enemy. Our number one purpose in our family is to be a representation of the gospel in acting living beings. We are to model a relationship after God's love and show to the world His mighty power in our lives. Our families need to be loving despite who we are and despite what we are like, but that is what the enemy wants to disintegrate. We need that unconditional love and acceptance we should be giving and receiving from our families. When the enemy looks at our lives and things are going smoothly and we are getting closer to God and our families, he wants to put a halt to that. He cannot handle seeing our families as a picture of the gospel, he wants it tarnished. As much as God wants to heal and have a strong relationship the enemy desires to rip it up and smear it in the mud of failure. God already has the victory against him, You just have to pray and claim that victory over your family. PRAY!! It is your lives on the BBQ, ask God to come down and heal. Father, I thank You that You love us and desire that we should take the victory You already won over the enemy and remind ourselves and the enemy that he has no reason to be here this way. We have the power of You Lord behind us and we just need to pray and get others to pray as well. Thank You for winning. In Jesus Name, Amen!!

John 6:66-71 66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve. Fact 1: From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Meaning 1: So many disciples did not understand what Jesus was saying and that Jesus was not talking about them eating His body physically, but in Spiritual means. They did not understand. Question 1: Do I know that communion is a symbol of eating and drinking of Jesus. That He broke bread and they drank wine on the passover because it was a symbol of Jesus body?

I need to stand for Jesus and not falter when things are hard to understand. I need to focus on who He is and where He will take me when this world is no longer around. Father, thank You for a great lesson and all the thoughts that You have given. Would we have stood by Him or would we have taken the tough side and walked away? I pray that we would continue to follow Him and stand at His side at all times. In Jesus Name, Amen!!
Father, we want to come before You today and pray for our nation. Give us a good study today and help us to grow and learn each day. We put our trust in You who is on the throne and in control. In Jesus Name, Amen!! John 6:60-65 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” Fact 1: Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying who can understand it?" Meaning 1: They were having a rough time with it because they were taking Him literally and not as Spiritual things per vs 63. Question 1 Do I take the things that Jesus says in the way that He meant them to be? Do I know what He truly wants from us? Fact 2: When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? Meaning 2: Jesus was troubled that the words He spoke were offending His disciples and wanted them to understand what He was saying and what it meant. Question 2: Do I study enough that I understand the words that God is teaching? Fact 3: What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? Meaning 3: Would they believe in Jesus if He ascended into heaven in front of them? He wanted them to say it aloud. Question 3: Do I believe that God is God without the signs? Fact 4: It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing. Meaning 4: Jesus was talking about the Spirit, the flesh that we live in profits nothing. We have to be born in Spirit and not just the flesh, and we need to have our Spirit in line with God and the things that He teaches us. Question 4: Do I believe in my Spirit that God is always right? That I need to do what is right before God? Fact 5: The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. Meaning 5: Jesus taught in the Spirit of truth and told us what to do and who to be in Him to please Him, and he will give us eternal life for accepting Him as savior. He is our life literally.

Meaning 6: There were some of the disciples that were not even believing Him. Question 6: Do I truly believe? Does my belief make me live it out in true belief turned to actions? Fact 7: For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe and who would betray Him. Meaning 7: Jesus knew and knows all that will happen and all that has happened. He did not need to question, but wanted them to think about their answers and what they did believe. Question 7: Does God ask me sometimes what I believe? Do I get into the Word and make a choice about that belief? Fact 8: And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father. Meaning 8: God wills all to be saved, He knows who will and He knows when to call them to Himself because the harvest is plentiful. God can work in the heart of men. Question 8: Do I listen to God calling me for more learning and lessens of truth? Do I follow that calling into Jesus arms learning His ways and desires for me? Take Away!! I need to focus on Jesus, and hear when He calls, when He teaches and when He wants us to be in the harvest. I need to continue studying and sharing with others. Father, thank You for a good study and for bringing us ever closer than we were. We want to hold on and be Your children. We thank and praise You for all You do in our lives. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Father, we come before You to thank and praise You for all Your love towards us. We praise You for all You do.

John 6:57-59 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.” 59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. Fact 1: As the living Father sent Me, Meaning 1: Jesus was sent by the Father, He came because the Father wanted to save His people, and Jesus wanted to see them saved as well. Question 1: Do I allow God to send me to the people that He wants to know Him and learn to love Him? Fact 2: and I live because of the Father, Meaning 2: The Father created the body that Jesus was born in, and breathed life into that human body. Formed it as He grew and watched over Him. Question Do I focus on the fact that Jesus was formed and born into a human body? Do I believe He was God? Fact 3: so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. Meaning 3: He does not mean to eat His flesh, but the life that Jesus had, we feed on His Word to our souls, we try to live as He lived and pull into ourselves as much of Jesus as we can. Question 3: Do I take of the good that God gives so that I can grown in Christ and be ever more like Him? Fact 4: This is the bread which came down from heaven - Meaning 4: Jesus is the bread come down, He is who we must live for and be like, we need to get our spiritual nourishment from Him. Question 4: Do I spend time studying the Word so that I am filled with His power and might? Fact 5: not as your fathers ate the mana, and are dead. Meaning 5: The bread that they ate from heaven while wandering, was just manna, It was a bread that kept them alive physically as they traveled. Question 5: Do I thank God enough for the food that we have to eat? Fact 6: He who eats this bread will live forever.' Meaning 6: The bread of Jesus is for eternity, once we have filled our lives with Him, He is in us. We will need to keep studying the Word and growing in our walk, but our future is secure.

Father, thank you for another great message/lesson, it is a blessing that You love us enough to focus on doing little things for us. The lifes simple pleasures moments are a blessing to us all. In Your Name, Amen!
Father, I thank You for Your great blessings and love, we are blessed to call You Father. I ask that we would learn the lessons that You have for us today and take away some thoughts that fill our hearts with Your love. In Your Holy Name, Amen!! John 6:52-56 52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him Fact 1: The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat? Meaning 1: They did not understand what Jesus was teaching us, it was not His 'body flesh' they were to eat, but His Words and life, He is the salvation, what He is feeds our soul that goes to heaven. Question 1: Why did Jesus not say that He is talking about the Spirit in Him and the Word being Him? Fact 2: Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly. I say to you, unless you eat this flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. Meaning 2: Jesus is not talking about His physical body, he is talking about the Word of God in our souls. Our souls are what truly go on and live for eternity. He is also talking about the sacrifices they did back then, some they ate. He was going to be the sacrifice for our lives. Question 2: Why did Jesus use this as His wording when teaching? I know He spoke in parables and things, but why this? Fact 3: For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me and I in him. Meaning 3: Again this is Jesus not telling us to 'eat' His physical body, but to talk about the symbol of His dying on the cross, He shed His blood and His body was broken for us, it is a remembrance of what He did on the cross for us. Question 3: Do I really pay attention when I take communion for the death He went through for me? Do I remember to thank Him for shedding His blood for me? Take Away!! When I am taking communion I need to remember that it is a representation of His death on the cross and the way to ever lasting life. He gave His life, we need to give ours to Him. Father, Thank You for reminding us that You alone can save us through Your body. We are blessed to call You Father and know that You alone can hear when we pray and know exactly what we are going through. Praise You In Jesus Name, Amen!!
Father, thank You for the time we can spend together in Your Word and prayer, we thank You for the blessing of having Your Word and not losing it yet. The time is coming where they may take our Bibles, help us to learn and memorize as much as we can now. We are blessed that You love us and watch over us. In Jesus Name Amen!! John 6:45-51 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” Fact 1: It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God'. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. Meaning 1: Jesus is talking about the books that the early church and Jews had that the prophets wrote. They should have learned enough to know that Jesus came from Heaven. God taught them about Him so they should have known. Question 1: Do I pay close enough attention to what the Bible says to really be ready for the things yet to come? Fact 2: Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. Meaning 2: No human has seen the Father, only Jesus has seen Him. Question 2: Do I think we will ever see God? Or will He always be only Jesus will see Him? Fact 3: Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. Meaning 3: When we believe in Jesus then we go to heaven. We have everlasting life with Him. Question 3: Do I share with those I talk to about the love that Jesus has and that he desires us to believe in Him? Fact 4: I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. Meaning 4: Jesus reminded them that those that ate the manna died, but those who eat the bread of life will not die away from God. We will live with God when we accept Jesus. Question 4: Do I look forward to the time we will be with Jesus? Am I truly thankful for the salvation that God gives? Fact 5: This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. Meaning 5: Bread was the main food in Jesus time so they refer to Jesus as the bread. We do not eat His flesh, but the idea of the Holiness. He came and died for us. Question 5: Do I understand that Jesus is the bread that keeps us alive and going to heaven? Do I share that with others? Fact 6: I am the living bread which came down from heaven, If anyone eats of this bread. he will live forever; Meaning 6: Again He is talking about Himself keeping us alive. As humans bread feeds us, as Christian we need His bread to have everlasting life. Question 6: Do I spend enough time in the Word pulling in the learning and love of God? Fact 7: And the bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world. Meaning 7; He gave His body for the world on the cross. He gave up His life to save us. Question 7: Do I accept Him and share Him each day? Take Away!! I need to make sure that people know they have to accept Jesus and take Him in to be saved. So they will live forever in heaven with Him. Father, thank You for a good study, help us to have a great day remembering that we are Yours and we are thankful for that. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Help us as we write out prayers that we will write them with our hearts open to You. Mine might be general on here, but we need to write specific prayers to pray. Thank You Father, In Jesus Name, Amen! Call to Prayer!We have been held back for years listening to the enemy and his lies about us. It is time to take the TRUTH from God and pray is over us and our loved ones. Take our resolve and hit our knees in prayer. We are alive and on the path to His way in life, healing and wholeness. We are His, we are God's children and awake in Him and write some prayer strategies for remembering that we are the children of God and He is listening to us.

out of the darkness of sin into the marvelous light of You. We need to stamp the identity of our lives on our hearts and hold onto You. Thank You for joining us, please come back next week for the new chapter.
Father, we ask today that You would give us a thankful spirit, that we would be greatly moved by Your love for us and that we would understand what You have written for us and kept for generations. Thank You Father, In Jesus Name, Amen!! Psalm 105:37-41 He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none feeble among His tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen upon them. 39 He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night. 40 The people asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. Fact 1: He also brought them out with silver and gold, Meaning 1: They did not come out of Egypt destitute but He allowed them to be taken care of. Question 1: Do I look to God to provide me with the things that He desires me to have? Fact 2: And there was none feeble among His tribes. Meaning 2: Even the old people were strong enough for a journey, and was able to keep up with them. People were given special strength for the trip. Question 2: Do I see how God works in my life to keep me strong enough to do what He has planned for me? Fact 3: Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon them. Meaning 3: After all the signs we talked about last week, Egypt was so ready to let the people of God go. They were tired of the signs and wanted it all to stop. Question 3: Do I keep working on people to know You even when they have gotten tired of hearing about You? Do I show them how important to me that You are? Fact 4: He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. Meaning 4: God took care of His people, He did not send them out and then let them flounder around. He showed them that He was still with them every day and night. Question 4: Do I realize that God is right there watching over me day and night? Fact 5: The people asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. Meaning 5: When they were tired of just manna from heaven and started complaining He sent them meat to eat. All they had to do was ask, they did not need to complain. Question 5: Do I start complaining when things are not how I want them or do I go to God in prayer for my need or want? Fact 6: He opened the rock, and water gushed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. Meaning 6: Again they just needed to ask and Moses was told how to do things by God but he put on a show and got in trouble. Question 6: Do I do things in my own strength rather than allowing God to work through me? Take Away!! I need to make sure that I am doing all I do for God, that my life would show a great desire to hold onto Him and walk in His ways. Father, thank You for a great study today on keeping our eyes on You and watching for the work that You are doing in our lives so that we can praise and honor You. In Jesus Name Amen!!
Heavenly Father, we come to You today to thank You and praise You for being in control and working in our lives. We are so blessed to have a God that is accessible. and loving in our lives. Please help our study to really take on meaning and change our lives. We praise You Lord for being who You are and never changing. In Jesus Name, Amen!! John 6:41-44 41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Fact 1: The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." Meaning 1: The Jews just could not believe that Jesus was the Messiah that they had been waiting and looking for all these years. He was supposed to come back and save them from the rule of the Romans, they wanted a conquering hero. Question 1: Do I focus on the things Jesus did for us? Am I looking for Him to come back and take us home? Fact 2: And they said, "Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? Meaning 2: They were stuck on the fact that He was a human and that He walked on the earth. They did not see the sinless walk and the things that Jesus stood for. Question 2: Do I pay attention to what Jesus did and live my life in a way that is pleasing to Him? Fact 3: How is it then that He says, "I have come down from heaven?" Meaning 3: The Jews could not get over the fact that Jesus told the truth of His coming from heaven. They could only see in their hearts that He was a human. They missed it. Question 3: Do I really focus on the part that Jesus was truly God? Do I look to Him for my everlasting life? Fact 4: Jesus therefore answered and said to them. "Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Meaning 4: Again He reminds them that He is going to raise all who believe on Him and was drawn by the Father to heaven. God wishes none will perish so He trys to draw us all but many do not come to Him. Question 4: Do I stand and come to the Lord? Am I doing all I can to draw those I talk to, to Him? Take Away!! Help me to be the light that You desire me to do. I want to stand for You and know that You are the great Lord of my life. Father, thank You for reminding us that You came down, that we have the opportunity to go up to You soon. Our life is a blink of an eye, and we will be home. In Jesus Name, Amen!!
