Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬

“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Giving is such a beautiful thing! When you are able too bless someone in need or just bless them because it is a beautiful gift, unless you remind, brag, announce, etc. Jesus spoke about giving in secrecy not too even have each of your hands know what’s going on. Today’s prayer is that we would all help when we can and if God leads you even when we can’t …… Be Blessed and Be A Blessing

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/pq0-qU5wlHc

“COME TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD is meant to be the Center of your consciousness, the Anchor of your soul. Your mind will wander from GOD, 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 GOD, 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.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

Prayer: God thank you for The Holy Spirit in me who gives me a gentle tug when I’m drifting from you. Attune my heart to pay attention to those impressions and nudges, bringing me back to my center in Christ. My rock. My hope. My Anchor. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits… – 1 John‬ ‭4:1-3‬

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” 1 John‬ ‭4:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So many false doctrine in the world today! Some preach this and some preach that, Jesus said many will come in my name but are not of the Father. A simple rule too live by is if it doesn’t line up with the word of God it is false!!!! Today’s prayer is the spirit of God that lives in us would help us too discern the truth…….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

LET GOD’S LOVE seep into the inner recesses of your being – PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 23 – 24, 1 JOHN 4:18

https://youtu.be/eMhKjXZfmR4

“LET GOD’S LOVE seep into the inner recesses of your being. Do not close off any part of yourself from GOD. GOD knows you inside and out, so do not try to present a “cleaned-up” self to The LORD. Wounds that you shut away from the Light of GOD’S Love will fester and become “wormy”. Secret sins that you “hide” from GOD can split off and develop lives of their own, controlling you without your realizing it. Open yourself fully to The LORD’S transforming Presence. Let GOD’S brilliant Love-Light search out and destroy hidden fears. This process requires time alone with GOD, as HIS Love soaks into your innermost being. Enjoy GOD’S perfect Love, which expels every trace of fear.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 23 – 24

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 1 JOHN 4:18

Prayer: Search me oh Lord. Show me any offensive ways in me. Cleanse me Lord. And let your love soak into my innermost being as I spend time alone with you. Freeing me from all my worries as you take them for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

HOPE is a golden cord connecting you to heaven – ROMANS 12 : 12, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 8, HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 19

https://youtu.be/vXfn1nJH4x4

“HOPE is a golden cord connecting you to heaven. This cord helps you hold your head up high, even when multiple trials are buffeting you. GOD never leaves your side, and GOD never lets go of your hand. But without the cord of hope, your head may slump and your feet may shuffle as you journey uphill with The LORD. Hope lifts your perspective from your weary feet to the glorious view you can see from the high road. You are reminded that the road you are traveling together with GOD is ultimately a highway to heaven. When you consider this radiant destination, the roughness or smoothness of the road ahead becomes much less significant. GOD is training you to hold in your heart a dual focus: GOD’S continual Presence and the hope of heaven.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ROMANS 12 : 12

But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 8

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 19

Prayer: God thank you for the hope of Heaven. Help me to have an eternal perspective this week, remembering what matters most – loving you and loving others. No matter what comes my way this week I am not alone because you are always with me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9-11

I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God. (‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9-11‬ NLT)

How are you reacting to situations that catch you off guard? Are you being led by a loving God, or by a worldly reaction? We as believers need to strive to be like Jesus in our every moment. Today I pray that we would ask God for the knowledge to fit every reaction and handle them as Christ did…..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

Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭35

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. (‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭35‬ NLT)

Friends this scripture is so simple and short but ever so powerful!!!!! All that is around us is temporary. The word of God is our instruction manual and every word in the bible is truth. There are a lot of churches out there teaching the scripture totally out of context!!!! My prayer today is that you would read your bible (all of it) and understand by the spirit what God is speaking to us, there is a powerful message in every word for each of us…… 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

THANKFULNESS OPENS THE DOOR to GOD’S Presence

https://youtu.be/dO0B42W9waY

“THANKFULNESS OPENS THE DOOR to GOD’S Presence. Though GOD is always with you, GOD has gone to great measures to preserve your freedom of choice. GOD has placed a door between you and HIM, and The LORD has empowered you to open or close that door. There are many ways to open it, but a grateful attitude is one of the most effective. Thankfulness is built on a substructure of trust. When thankful words stick in your throat, you need to check up on your foundation of trust. When thankfulness flows freely from your heart and lips, let your gratitude draw you closer to The LORD. GOD wants you to learn the art of giving thanks in all circumstances. See how many times you can thank GOD daily; this will awaken your awareness to a multitude of blessings. It will also cushion the impact of trials when they come against you. Practice GOD’S Presence by practicing the discipline of thankfulness.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. PSALM 100 : 4

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer: Lord thank you for your goodness. No matter what happens I can look at life through the lens that you are always good. Thank you for sending your son Jesus to due for my sins so I can be in a right relationship with you for eternity. Your grateful child. Amen.

GOD IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

https://youtu.be/DrMhJ2AO6x4

“GOD IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Men crawl through their lives cursing the darkness, but all the while GOD is shining brightly. GOD desires each of HIS followers to be a Light-bearer. The Holy Spirit who lives in you can shine from your face, making The LORD visible to people around you. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to live through you, as you wend your way through this day. Hold GOD’S hand in joyful trust, for HE never leaves your side. The Light of GOD’S Presence is shining upon you. Brighten up the world by reflecting who GOD is.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” MATTHEW 5 : 14 – 16

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” EXODUS 3 : 14

Prayer: Holy Spirit live through me today. Shine your light on me and allow me to brighten up the world and reflect who you are. May the world be filled with light-bearers. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10, MATTHEW 23 : 8, MATTHEW 6 : 1

https://youtu.be/BE-qNiHNHks

“FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. You can have only one Master. When you let others’ expectations drive you, you scatter your energy to the winds. Your own desire to look good can also drain your energy. GOD is your Master, and HE does not drive you to be what you are not. Your pretense displeases GOD, especially when it is in GOD’S “service.” Concentrate on staying close to GOD at all times. It is impossible to be inauthentic while you are focusing on GOD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10

“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.” MATTHEW 23 : 8

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” MATTHEW 6 : 1

Prayer: Lord help me to find freedom in seeking to please you above all else. Help me to concentrate on staying close to you. And allow everything else to fall into place. Fill me with your joy and peace. And help me to be genuine in everything I say and do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
