1 John 4 : 17

Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 1 John 4 : 17 NKJV

This scripture is hard for a lot of believers to swallow, it says we are like Jesus Christ, Really? We are? Yes in our spirit we have been perfected by the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, now in the natural world that’s where we need work. Today ask GOD to let you be led by the Holy Spirit not the flesh and watch how we act more and more like Our LORD, Jesus Christ …….. 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

LIVE FIRST AND FOREMOST in GOD’S Presence. | PSALM 89 : 15 – 16, PSALM 16 : 8, 2 PETER 1 : 2

“LIVE FIRST AND FOREMOST in GOD’S Presence. Gradually you will become more aware of GOD than of people and places around you. This awareness will not detract from your relationships with others. Instead, it will increase your ability to give love and encouragement to them. The LORD’S Peace will permeate your words and demeanor. You will be active in the world, yet one step removed from it. You will not be easily shaken, because GOD’S enveloping Presence buffers the blow of problems. This is the path The LORD has set before you. As you follow it wholeheartedly, you experience abundant Life and Peace.”

Scripture

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. PSALM 89 : 15 – 16 

I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. PSALM 16 : 8 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 PETER 1 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to live first and foremost in your presence. Increase my ability to give love and encouragement to others. To be in this world but not of it and experience your abundant joy and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4 : 7 – 8

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4 : 7 – 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

All that we do in life should be unto the Lord and not to ourselves. I believe that GOD wants us to live a joyful and prosperous life, but giving all the glory to HIM. Today’s prayer is that we would all do everything unto The LORD so HE receives all the glory and we receive the crowns …….. Be Blessed

WALK WITH GOD in the freedom of forgiveness.  | PSALM 68 : 19, 1 JOHN 1 : 7 – 9, 1 JOHN 4 : 18

“WALK WITH GOD in the freedom of forgiveness. The path you follow together is sometimes steep and slippery. If you carry a burden of guilt on your back, you are more likely to stumble and fall. At your request, The LORD will remove the heavy load from you and bury it at the foot of The Cross. When The LORD  unburdens you, you are undeniably free! Stand up straight and tall in The LORD’s Presence, so that no one can place more burdens on your back. Look into GOD”S Face and feel the warmth of HIS Love-Light shining upon you. It is this unconditional Love that frees you from both fears and sins. Spend time basking in the Light of GOD’S Presence. As you come to know The LORD more and more intimately, you grow increasingly free.”

Scripture

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. PSALM 68 : 19 

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1 : 7 – 9 

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your unconditional love that frees me from all my sins and all my fears. When either tries to creep into my thoughts, remind me to replace those thoughts with your truth and your promises. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭139‬ :‭ 23 – 24

TRUST GOD AND REFUSE TO WORRY, for GOD is your Strength and Song. | EXODUS 15 : 2, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5, HEBREWS 10 : 23

“TRUST GOD AND REFUSE TO WORRY, for GOD is your Strength and Song. You are feeling wobbly this morning, looking at difficult times looming ahead, measuring them against your own strength. However, they are not today’s tasks—or even tomorrow’s. So leave them in the future and come home to the present, where you will find GOD waiting for you. Since The LORD your Strength, HE empowers you to handle each task as it comes. Because The LORD is your Song, HE gives you Joy as you work alongside HIM. Keep bringing your mind back to the present moment. Among all GOD’S creatures, only humans can anticipate future events. This ability is a blessing, but it becomes a curse whenever it is misused. If you use your magnificent mind to worry about tomorrow, you cloak yourself in dark unbelief. However, when the hope of heaven fills your thoughts, the Light of The LORD’S Presence envelops you. Though heaven is the future, it is also present tense. As you walk in the Light with GOD, you have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven.”

Scripture

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. EXODUS 15 : 2 

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5 

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. HEBREWS 10 : 23

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me stop worrying about tomorrow and trust You with today. Give me the strength I need for what’s in front of me and fill me with joy as I walk through it with You. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭15  :13‬

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭15  :13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So many things happen in our day to day life it can be easy to become discouraged and lose hope. Jesus Christ left us the one called the counselor to know how to deal with situations like Jesus Christ, HE left us the one called the comforter to never lose hope, He left us the Holy Spirit to direct every step of our lives if we allow HIM to. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that Jesus Christ overcame what we couldn’t overcome and left us the one who can get us through life with that great hope …… Be Blessed

TRY TO SEE THINGS more and more from GOD’S perspective. | PROVERBS 20 : 24, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17 – 18

“TRY TO SEE THINGS more and more from GOD’S perspective. Let the Light of GOD’S Presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through HIM. When little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to GOD lightheartedly and say, “Oh, well.” This simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to The LORD, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart. When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary, compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.”

Scripture

A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way? PROVERBS 20 : 24  

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17 – 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to see my problems from your perspective, remembering they are temporary and each trial can draw me closer to you. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you and to keep eternity in mind, where there will be no more pain, suffering, or trials of any kind. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭27 : 17

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27 : 17‬ ‭NIV‬‬
