LOVE: You are loved and have sincere love by obeying the truth - 1 Peter 1:22

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from a pure heart. 1 Peter 1:22

LIVING TRUTH:

• "Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
• "God lives in those who declare that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God. We have known and believed that God loves us. God is love. Those who live in God's love live in God, and God lives in them." 1 John 4:15-16

Praise & Prayer:
I am loved by God and born of God; therefore, I can sincerely and deeply love others with a pure heart. Thank You, Abba Father, for Your truth that purified my heart from a self-centered, insincere, and hollow love. I never knew how to love You or others until Jesus Christ, who is the Truth, entered into my heart. I praise You, Lord Jesus, for loving me with pure and truthful love that flows from God's everlasting love. Teach me to love my spouse, family members, and God's people with Your undying love that never dries up and never runs out. I ask in Your mighty name, amen.

HOPE: Your hope is centered in God - 1 Peter 1:21

And through Him [Christ Jesus] you believe confidently in God the heavenly Father, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are centered and rest in God. 1 Peter 1:21

INFALLIBLE TRUTH:
We were saved with this hope in mind. If we hope for something we already see, it's not really hope. Who hopes for what can be seen? Romans 8:24

Prayer & Praise:
I have eternal hope through Christ, my Savior. I praise You, Heavenly Father, for saving me and giving me a new life filled with living hope through Jesus Christ's resurrection. Because of You, Lord Jesus, I no longer sit in darkness, feel hopeless, or doubt whether God loves me. Help me, Holy Spirit, to be a hope-giver to my family and people in the marketplace who are trapped in despair because of their disbelief. Teach me to speak the truth in love about Christ's resurrection so they will repent and believe in Jesus Christ, who is the hope of our salvation. I pray in His mighty name. 

REDEEMED: You were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ - 1 Peter 1:19

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Peter 1:18-19

LIVING TRUTH:

In Him [Christ] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:17 

Praise & Prayer:
By the precious blood of Jesus Christ, I have been redeemed. No good deeds, gifts, or words can ever fully express my gratitude, Lord Jesus, for the price You paid on the cross with Your precious blood to redeem my soul and forgive all my sins. Thank You for paying the ransom to free me from the powers of darkness that held me captive in hopelessness. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who is in the pawn shop of the devil, feeling unredeemable. Use my care to open their heart to hear about the precious blood of our Redeemer and Savior, Jesus Christ. Hear their cry, Abba Father, and redeem them as we call upon the mighty name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Hosanna [save now]!

SALVATION: You are saved by Jesus Christ - 1 Peter 1:9

The reward for trusting Him [Christ Jesus] will be the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:9

Infallible Truth:

• This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the Cornerstone.’ 12 Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:11-12
• "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
• "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Praise & Prayer
I am saved through faith in Jesus Christ! Abba Father, I worship and praise You for the gift of my Savior, the Chosen One, Christ Jesus. I trust in Him alone for my salvation, and I thank You for sacrificing Your only begotten Son on the cross to show me and the entire world how much You love us and want to save humanity. Please teach me, Holy Spirit, how to grow stronger in my trust and devotion to Jesus. Help me remember that the end result of my trust in Him will be the salvation of my soul. I pray in His mighty name, Amen.

JOY: Jesus fills you with inexpressible joy - 1 Peter 1:8

Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 Peter 1:8

Living Truth:

• "I have told you these things so that you will be filled with My joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!" John 15:11
• "Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy!" John 16:20

Prayer

Jesus is the source and center of my joy! I love You and believe in You, Lord Jesus. You have turned my sadness into joy. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with Your inexpressible and glorious joy. Guide me, Holy Spirit, to someone today whose heart is broken with sadness and feels overwhelmed by hopelessness. Abba Father, please heal their broken heart and fill them with unspeakable joy for believing in Christ Jesus and calling upon His mighty name for salvation. Hosanna [save now] in the highest!

FAITH: Your genuine faith has greater worth than gold - 1 Peter 1:7

These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more worth than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. 1 Peter 1:7

Infallible Truth:

• "And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him." Hebrews 11:
• "So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ." Romans 10:17
• "And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

Prayer
I will please the God of Miracles by believing that He exists and rewards those who seek Him. Please strengthen my faith, Lord Jesus, so I trust what You say and pass the test when I face various trials, just as You experienced here on earth. Holy Spirit, help me remember that God works all things together for my good and allows me to be tested so that my faith may be purified, unshakeable, and worthy of praise, honor, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. I ask in Jesus' mighty name.

PROTECTED: You are protected by God's power - 1 Peter 1:5

Meanwhile, through trusting, you are being protected by God’s power for a deliverance ready to be revealed at the Last Time. 1 Peter 1:5

Living Truth:

• "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand." John 8:28-29
• "We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them." 1 John 5:18
• "Because you have obeyed My command to remain steadfast in the face of difficult times, I will also keep you from giving up when the time of trial comes, which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those living on the earth." Revelation 3:10
• "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

Praise & Prayer
You, LORD God, are my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? You are the protector of my life; why should I dread or be afraid of the days I am living in? Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my Good Shepherd who watches over my going out and coming in. No matter what sufferings or hardships I face in this life, I will keep trusting in You and am confident that no one can snatch me out of Your hand or the Father's hand. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who is being devoured by the devil. Abba Father, hear their cry for deliverance and display Your almighty power as they call upon the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for salvation and protection. Hosanna [save now]!
