OF COURSE GOD RAISES THE DEAD!

By faith established through the revelation of the Word of God, we understand that YHWH is the ultimate source of life & our very breath, who lives forever and holds authority over death (Deut. 32:39, John 11:25, Rev. 1:18)! Through the power of the Holy Spirit, He raised the Messiah and still offers the promise of eternal life and future resurrection, to all Believers (John 5:21)
Moreover, our Heavenly Father has been raising the dead, through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, whom He also raised by Himself and continues using anointed vessels to do the impossible (1 Kings 17 & 2 Kings 4, Acts 9:40, Rom. 6:4-5 & 8:11, 1 Cor. 6:14, Mark 9:23). This is the cornerstone of the Christian faith; hold on to it, remain steadfast to your calling in Christ, and you will live forever, in Him.

PRAYER: Dear God, Giver of Life, thank You for raising me from the dead to everlasting life in the Spirit - keeping me away from sin, to dwell in Your righteousness. Please continue to use me as a living vessel of Your testimony to all; in Jesus' Name, 
Amen.

From Acts 26:8

GOD'S PROMISE TO OUR FATHERS

The foundational covenants God made with the patriarchs of the Bible, our fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) remain beneficial to all who are faithful to His Word, from generation to generation (Deut. 1:8). It encompasses God's oath to grant a wonderful promise, multiply the descendants of His Faithful, and bless all nations through their lineage, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Spirit of Holiness (Gen. 12:1-3).
Also, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, promised by the Father, through His prophet Joel and reaffirmed by Christ, brings hope, salvation, and power to all people, even as it remains fulfilled in the lives of all who trust and obey His Word (Joel 2:28, John 14:26, Acts 2:39).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH, the Covenant Keeping God and Abba Father, thank You for all Your promises, from generation to generation, fulfilled in my life and that of others. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for I am highly favored to be Yours, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 26:6

STRICTEST SECT OF RELIGION

There are multiple strict religious sects presently, with the strictest varying by definition, which are universally recognized for rigorous daily codes and principles - acknowledged as doctrines, established for worship. These groups dictate nearly every aspect of members' lives, from diet and daily routines, to prayer (Lev. 11, Dan. 1:8 & 15, 1 Thess. 5:17)
Furthermore, because strictness depends on whether the measure is of morals, dietary, or behavioral nature, several prominent examples stand out globally, making it difficult to conclude that any one is the strictest. However, the only one worth following is the son of God who never sinned in word or deed (I Peter 2:21-22).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, and Loving God, for helping me to realize that being a member of a strict sect of religion does not ensure one's Salvation; rather, worshipping.You in the Spirit and Truth, from the depth of the heart, is the way to remain favored in Your sight and enter into fellowship. Blessed be Your Holy Name forevermore;
Amen.

From Acts 26:5

HEAR ME PATIENTLY

Everybody is required to listen patiently whenever a ministering vessel of the Holy Spirit speaks, for every word proclaimed by one, gives Light and Life to all who receive it by faith (Ps. 119:130, John 1:4, 9, 5:24 &  12:47). A minister's desire to persistently share God's Word with an attentive, open heart, graced with patience and gentleness, encourages all who are willing to listen (Eph. 4:2-3, 2 Tim. 2:24-25).
Moreover, we are advised to remember with attention, our faithful leaders who have spoken God's word to us and to patiently observe and imitate their faith so we may also grow to disciple others (Heb. 13:7).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH and Abba Father, thank You for touching the hearts of all who listen patiently to the Gospel of Salvation which I am enabled to constantly proclaim. Please continue to transform their lives, revive their souls, and strengthen their Spirit, for Your glory, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 26:3

PERMITTED TO SPEAK FOR ONESELF

Being a faithful Child of God and responsible citizen, you are permitted to speak for yourself, for you have the right to express objective truth, make decisions, or represent yourself, without needing a spokesperson (2 Tim. 2:15). This applies broadly across several areas, particularly in civil and religious law, everyday conversation, and is even shown in Biblical passages (Esther 5:2-3, Acts 4:20).
However, while you are fully permitted to speak for yourself before a judicated authority, the court will hold you to the same procedural and evidentiary standards as a licensed attorney (Luke 12:11-12). So, you are required to be strictly organized - knowing the rules of presenting evidence and arriving prepared with the right knowledge of what you are standing for (Phil. 4:9).

PRAYER: Gracious LORD and Abba Father, thank You for keeping me favored under civil and Divine laws, to speak for myself by grace, through the Holy Spirit in me. Please continue to strengthen and equip me to stay bold against every accusation of the wicked; innocent in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 26:1

APPEAL TO BE RESERVED FOR ANOTHER'S DECISION

When facing a prejudiced trial as a Christian, one can request to be held over or reserved for the decision of a higher authority (Acts 25:11-12). It could ensure protection from hostile religious leaders, to spread the Gospel (Acts 28:19).
Moreover, a Believer's appeal is not just a legal maneuver but a mechanism God can use to bring one safely to where He needs you to testify and fulfil the Divine mission or your calling in Christ (Acts 23:11).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, LORD and Heavenly Father, for giving me the opportunity and faith to request to stay reserved for the decision of a higher authority, when facing any prejudiced trial. Please keep me patient and vindicated as Your Beloved Child, forever;
Amen.

From Acts 25:21

SENDING A PRISONER WITHOUT CHARGES

Both in religious and civil law, an accused individual should not be sent for trial or detained indefinitely without a specific, written accusation and investigation (Deut. 17:4, Acts 25:16). It is unreasonable to imprison a man at all without a fair trial and specifying the charges against him, especially when there is no legitimate, documentable crime to present (Gen. 39:20, John 7:50-51).
Also, intimidating, detaining and assaulting a Minister proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation without a proper trial, is usually considered a violation of civic rights and God will take vengeance (Deut. 32:35-36, Acts 16:22–24 & 37 & 22:24-25). So, we should always endeavor to uphold the law and do what is right, in the right way and at the right time, wherever we find ourselves in life, as faithful Children of God and responsible citizens (Isa. 1:17, 1 Pet. 2:13-17).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Heavenly Father and Gracious God, for keeping me away from false accusations and unlawful detention, even as a ministering vessel of the Holy Spirit. Please continue to protect and guide me as I remain determined to spread the Good News of Salvation to all, for the sanctification of souls;
Amen.
