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

https://youtu.be/_JdelqXpCJY

“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

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

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

https://youtu.be/p0rBJqKqZiQ

“WALK WITH GOD in the freedom of forgiveness. The path you follow together with GOD 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, GOD will remove the heavy load from you and bury it at the foot of the cross. When GOD 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 The LORD’S Face and feel the warmth of GOD’S 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.

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16 : 7

“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16 : 7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Oh so true!!!! So many people judge by the way someone looks, they stereotype someone because of their appearance. God sees our hearts, why should we not? Today’s prayer is we would all look at people the way God almighty does!!!! This has happened so many times with me I just laugh now………Be Blessed

THERE IS A MIGHTY BATTLE going on for control of your mind. – PSALM 27 : 8, ROMANS 8 : 6, 1 JOHN 2 : 15 – 17

https://youtu.be/XsUYvlAx9lU

“THERE IS A MIGHTY BATTLE going on for control of your mind. Heaven and earth intersect in your mind; the tugs of both spheres influence your thinking. GOD created you with the capacity to experience foretastes of heaven. When you shut out the world and focus on GOD’S Presence, you can enjoy sitting with The LORD in heavenly realms. This is an incredible privilege reserved for precious ones who belong to GOD and seek HIS Face. Your greatest strength is your desire to spend time communing with GOD. As you concentrate on GOD, HIS Holy Spirit fills your mind with Life and Peace. The world exerts a downward pull on your thoughts. Media bombard you with greed, lust, and cynicism. When you face these things, pray for protection and discernment. Stay in continual communication with GOD whenever you walk through the wastelands of this world. Refuse to worry, because this form of worldliness will weigh you down and block awareness of GOD’S Presence. Stay alert, recognizing the battle being waged against your mind. Look forward to an eternity of strife-free living, reserved for you in heaven.”

Scripture

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. PSALM 27 : 8

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 1 JOHN 2 : 15 – 17

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for allowing me to feel foretastes of Heaven here on earth. Holy Spirit control my mind today, help me to pay attention to what I let in and how it impacts me. I look forward to strife-free living in Heaven. Thank you Jesus for making a way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬ : ‭13

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬ : ‭13‬ NIV

Have you ever done something you know is wrong but did it anyways? If you look at all temptation there is always a way out of it. God’s Word tells us that He will never let us be tempted beyond what we can endure. As believers we have to stand firm on His Word. The devil will always direct temptation at us in all areas but when the temptation comes remember there is always a way around it. Today I pray when temptation arises we would confess the “We are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus” and watch the temptation flee…….Be Blessed

Jeremiah‬ ‭1 : 6 – 8‬

““Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1 : 6 – 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called” ever felt like Jeremiah? Scared? Not worthy? Well God has called you to a certain ministry, whether it’s Pastor, missions, or just to be an encourager. Today’s prayer is that you would trust God and just step into your calling He is right there by your side……Be Blessed

Romans‬ ‭15‬ : ‭13‬

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans‬ ‭15‬ : ‭13‬ NLT

Your outlook on life can sometimes be controlled by the circumstances, the chaos around you steals your peace, but God’s promise and standing on His Word brings all the issues into perspective. Today I pray for peace and hope to all, trust in God’s promise and let the Holy Spirit direct your path…… Be Blessed

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

https://youtu.be/j02KaxiGXFU

“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 The LORD 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.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭90 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all have a day that we will meet the Lord, are you living life with a just get by attitude or are you living life to the fullest for God? Today’s prayer is that we would approach every day with thanks and with a heart to serve the Lord with all our heart……..Be Blessed
