“WATCH YOUR WORDS DILIGENTLY. Words have such great power to bless or to wound. When you speak carelessly or negatively, you damage others as well as yourself. This ability to verbalize is an awesome privilege, granted only to those GOD created in HIS image. You need help in wielding this mighty power responsibly. Though the world applauds quick-witted retorts, GOD’S instructions about communication are quite different: Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Ask GOD”S Holy Spirit to help you whenever you speak. GOD has trained you to pray—“Help me, Holy Spirit”—before answering the phone, and you have seen the benefits of this discipline. Simply apply the same discipline to communicating with people around you. If they are silent, pray before speaking to them. If they are talking, pray before responding. These are split-second prayers, but they put you in touch with GOD’S Presence. In this way, your speaking comes under the control of GOD’S Holy Spirit. As positive speech patterns replace your negative ones, the increase in your Joy will amaze you.”

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. PROVERBS 12 : 18

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. JAMES 1 : 19

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. EPHESIANS 4 : 29

Personal Note: It was losing control of my tongue in 11′ that sent me to a low point in life. That event and the consequences of it are what lead me to daily prayer / Bible study to learn how to control my tongue and that increased control to this day has been one of the greatest day-to-day, tangible benefits of my growth in Christ.

Prayer: Holy Spirit control my tongue today. Help me to speak only words that are helpful and build others up. Forgive me for the times I’ve spoken careless and negative words. In Jesus’ name. Amen

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:28-31‬

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:28-31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all know and we have all heard but do we choose to believe or disbelieve? God’s word is the everlasting truth! It never fails. There are times that we all feel like giving in, but that’s when we run to God not walk. God is faithful to those who diligently seek his refuge. Today’s prayer that in the good and bad times we seek God for his guidance and peace……Be Blessed

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

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:5-7‬

“he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To truly understand what Jesus did for us is mind blowing! If God had not sent Jesus to the cross for all of us we would have never had the chance to get into right standing with God. When God sees us he sees us through Jesus, so therefore he sees perfection. Today I pray that we would never forget the grace that has been given to us freely and undeserved. Praise Jesus in all things and be thankful for all you have, the alternative would have been brutal……Be Blessed

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

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU from GOD’S Love. – ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, JOSHUA 1 : 5, ISAIAH 49 : 15 – 16

https://youtu.be/QM18-0_-rYY

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU from GOD'S Love. (https://youtu.be/QM18-0_-rYY)

“NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU from GOD’S Love. Let this divine assurance trickle through your mind and into your heart and soul. Whenever you start to feel fearful or anxious, repeat this unconditional promise: “Nothing can separate me from Your Love, Jesus.” Most of mankind’s misery stems from feeling unloved. In the midst of adverse circumstances, people tend to feel that love has been withdrawn and they have been forsaken. This feeling of abandonment is often worse than the adversity itself. Be assured that GOD never abandons any of HIS children, not even temporarily. GOD will never leave you or forsake you! GOD’S Presence watches over you continually. GOD has engraved you on the palms of HIS hands.”

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” ISAIAH 49 : 15 – 16

Prayer: Thank you for your incredible promise to never leave me or forsake me. Whether on the mountain top or the darkest valley, you are always with me. Thank you for being such a loving and faithful Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3‬

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Doesn’t it feel good to truly do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return? Or do you always expect something in return? This scripture speaks about esteeming others above yourself. Today’s prayer is that we would always think of others before ourselves because that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father…….Be Blessed

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

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:2‬

“All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you feel like you’re always doing the right thing? Do you feel like you are living a life that pleases God? This Proverb tells us that we may feel we are doing the right things in our heart but God sees all. Today’s prayer is we would give our lives a once over and ask God to help us correct the areas in that which we fall short……Be Blessed

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

WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness. – PSALM 29 : 2, ISAIAH 6 : 3

https://youtu.be/AI8WYyZtbbA

WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness. (https://youtu.be/AI8WYyZtbbA)

“WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness. GOD created beauty to declare the existence of HIS holy Being. A magnificent rose, a hauntingly glorious sunset, oceanic splendor— all these things were meant to proclaim GOD’S Presence in the world. Most people rush past these proclamations without giving them a second thought. Some people use beauty, especially feminine loveliness, to sell their products. How precious are GOD’S children who are awed by nature’s beauty; this opens them up to GOD’S holy Presence. Even before you knew GOD personally, you responded to HIS creation with wonder. This is a gift, and it carries responsibility with it. Declare GOD’S glorious Being to the world. The whole earth is full of GOD’S radiant beauty—GOD’S Glory!”

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV)

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

Prayer: God help me to slow down to enjoy the beauty in nature all around me each day proclaiming your presence and tenderness and love to the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭39‬

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭39‬ NLT

Do you ever feel like you’re just not loved? Like you’re all alone in the world? Well you’re not! At all times you have the love of God with you. Today’s prayer is that when we feel down that we look to the cross and the never ending love that was displayed on it…..Be Blessed

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

COME TO GOD CONTINUALLY. – HEBREWS 6 : 19, 1 JOHN 2 : 28, MATTHEW 22 : 37

https://youtu.be/UElWIZG4PRg

“COME TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD is meant to be the Center of your consciousness, the Anchor of your soul. Your mind will wander from The LORD, but the question is how far you allow it to wander. An anchor on a short rope lets a boat drift only slightly before the taut line tugs the boat back toward the center. Similarly, as you drift away from The LORD, HIS Holy Spirit within you gives a tug, prompting you to return to GOD. As you become increasingly attuned to GOD’S Presence, the length of rope on your soul’s Anchor is shortened. You wander only a short distance before feeling that inner tug— telling you to return to your true Center in GOD.”

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. 1 JOHN 2 : 28

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” MATTHEW 22 : 37

Personal Note: As my personal relationship with The LORD has grown over the last several years through prayer and Bible study it has gotten easier and easier to feel “the tug of that line” in my daily life. One of the ways is that during my Bible study time in the morning sometimes my mind starts to wander to the day’s worldly concerns and it has become easier to “feel that tug” & quicker to ask GOD to help me clear my mind and re-focus on the lesson before me.

Prayer: God help me to be attuned to the gentle tug of The Holy Spirit when I drift from you. Shorten the rope I create between you and I so I can remain in you and you in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭5:44‬

“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:44‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is a hard one to swallow for most! Love your enemies? Pray for those who hate you? Ouch!!!!! These words came from the Father who made all of us in his image and could not be more true. Today’s prayer is that we would meditate on this scripture and pray for all you know, by showing love towards those who hate you may just be the witness they need to find Jesus……..Be Blessed

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
