Lord, I’m Coming Home

 

Title: Lord, I’m Coming Home
Date: September 29, 2025
Category: Salvation Call / Wrap-Up
Theme: Repentance & Renewal

---

Scripture:

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
—Isaiah 1:18 (NIV)

---

Encouragement Word:

This month we’ve prayed prayers of repentance, asked for clean hearts, remembered our first love, and declared we can start over. But all of these mean nothing unless they lead us back to Jesus.

God’s invitation is simple: Come home.
Not tomorrow. Not when you feel “ready.” Not after you get your life together. Now.

Repentance isn’t about running from God in shame—it’s about running to Him in surrender. Renewal isn’t about self-improvement—it’s about Holy Spirit transformation. And restoration doesn’t take a lifetime—it starts the moment you say “Yes” to Him.

No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, His arms are open. He’s not keeping score—He’s keeping the door open.

---

Call to Salvation:

If you’ve never surrendered your life to Jesus, or if you’ve walked away and want to return, pray this with me:

Lord Jesus,
I admit I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness.
I believe You died for my sins and rose again so I could have eternal life.
I turn from my old life and surrender to You completely.
Be my Lord, my Savior, and my everything.
Thank You for receiving me back home.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

---

Final Thought for September:
Your past is forgiven. Your heart is clean. Your future is secure in Him. Walk into October with a fresh start and a renewed fire.

“My book Having a Peace of Mind teaches believers how to rely fully on God's Word so they can live with clarity, confidence, and spiritual peace.”

You Can Start Over

 

Words of Encouragement

Title: You Can Start Over
Date: September 22, 2025
Category: Words of Encouragement
Theme: Repentance & Renewal

---

Scripture:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

---

Encouragement Word:

There’s nothing too broken that God can’t restore.
There’s no past too dark that God can’t redeem.
There’s no sin too deep that grace can’t reach.

You can start over.

Maybe you’ve made mistakes. Maybe you walked away. Maybe you’ve let shame, guilt, or failure define your identity. But Jesus doesn’t define you by your worst moment—He defines you by His finished work on the cross.

Repentance is your access point to freedom.
Not to keep reliving the past—but to walk in newness of life.
Not to replay your shame—but to rise with hope.

You don’t have to get everything right before you come to Him. Just come.

And when you do, He doesn’t just clean you up—He makes you new.

---

Speak This Over Yourself:

I am not my past.
I am not my mistake.
I am not what people said about me.
I am not who I was.

I am redeemed.
I am forgiven.
I am being restored.

I can start again—today.

---

Reflection Questions:

• What’s something you need to forgive yourself for?

• What area of your life do you need to surrender so you can move forward?

---

Prayer:

Father,
Thank You that I don’t have to stay stuck in regret.
Thank You that in You, I am a new creation.
I receive Your mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
I choose today to believe I can start again—with You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Return to Your First Love

 

Bible Study Bite

Title: Return to Your First Love (Revelation 2:4–5)
Date: September 15, 2025
Category: Bible Study Bite
Theme: Repentance & Renewal

---

Scripture Focus:

“Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.”
—Revelation 2:4–5 (NIV)

---

Study Breakdown:

 1. God Notices When We Drift

Jesus praised the Ephesian church for their hard work and perseverance, but He had one issue with them: they had drifted from intimacy.
They were still active—but not affectionate.
Still busy—but no longer burning.
Still doing ministry—but disconnected from their first love.

Question: Are you doing things for God while being distant from God?

---

 2. The First Love Is More Than a Feeling

It’s the hunger you had when you first got saved.
It’s the tears that came easy.
It’s the joy of reading the Word just to hear His voice.
It’s that quiet place where it was just you and God—no agenda, no performance.

Insight: God doesn’t just want your labor—He wants your love.

---

 3. God Calls Us to Repent and Return

Jesus didn’t cancel them—He called them back.
He said, “Repent and do the things you did at first.” That’s an invitation to rekindle the flame.

Application: Get back to the basics—worship, prayer, purity, obedience, and time alone with God.

---

Key Takeaway:
God doesn’t want a routine relationship—He wants real relationship. If you’ve lost your fire, He’s calling you back. Not to shame you, but to restore you.

---

Reflection Questions:

• What did your “first love” season with God look like?

• What habits, distractions, or people have pulled you away from that?

• Are you ready to return?

---

Short Prayer:

Lord, I miss the fire.
Take me back to the place where I loved You with childlike wonder.
Strip away the routine and restore the relationship.
Help me repent, return, and remain in You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Create in Me a Clean Heart

 

 Scripture Reading & Devotional

Title: Create in Me a Clean Heart (Psalm 51)
Date: September 8, 2025
Category: Scripture Reading & Devotional
Theme: Repentance & Renewal

---

Scripture:

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
—Psalm 51:10 (KJV)

---

Devotional Thought:

Psalm 51 is David’s raw cry after he fell into sin. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t pretty. It was real.

David didn’t ask for a second chance to prove himself. He didn’t try to explain or excuse his failure. He went straight to the heart of it:
“Create in me a clean heart.”

That’s the power of true repentance—it doesn’t ask God to fix our mess, it asks Him to change us.

We don’t just need forgiveness. We need renewal.
We don’t just need a do-over. We need a new heart.

God is not afraid of your dirt. He’s not intimidated by your mistakes. He’s a Creator—and if He made your heart once, He can recreate it again. No matter how far you’ve drifted or how heavy your guilt feels, God’s mercy can reach you right now.

This verse isn’t just a confession—it’s a request for transformation.
Ask Him boldly:

“Lord, don’t just clean me—change me. Make me new.”

---

Reflection Questions:

• Are you asking God to clean your heart or just clean up your situation?

• Is there anything you need to let go of so God can renew your spirit?

---

Prayer:

Father,
I don’t just want a surface-level fix—I want a deep heart transformation.
Cleanse me from every sin, attitude, and desire that grieves Your Spirit.
Remove the pride, bitterness, and secret struggles.
Make my heart new again.
I invite You to do surgery on my soul.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
