Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 NKJV
Jesus said “I am the way” the way to eternal life is through salvation in Jesus which is a gift!!! Not of man’s effort. Jesus said ” I am the truth” this means that every spoken word from him is absolute!!!! We should strive to be like him. He said ” I am the life” there is no life worth living aside from Jesus !!!! He is our comfort, counselor , best friend, our everything. Today meditate on the gift of salvation and give thanks for that unconditional love…….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
“ENTRUST YOUR LOVED ONES TO GOD; release them into HIS protective care. They are much safer with GOD than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in your heart, you endanger that one—as well as yourself. Remember the extreme measures GOD used with Abraham and Isaac. GOD took Isaac to the very point of death to free Abraham from son-worship. Both Abraham and Isaac suffered terribly because of the father’s undisciplined emotions. GOD detests idolatry, even in the form of parental love. When you release loved ones to The LORD, you are free to cling to GOD’S hand. As you entrust others into The LORD’S care, GOD is free to shower blessings on them. The LORD’S Presence will go with them wherever they go, and HE will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you relax and place your trust in GOD. Watch to see what The LORD will do.”
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” GENESIS 22 : 9 – 12
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 20
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Prayer: God I release my children to you. You love them and can take care of them far better than I can. May your presence go with them wherever they go. I can’t wait to watch and see what you do in their lives and in mine. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
This scripture speaks about choice, we all were born into sin but throughout our life we are given a choice to continue to live in sin or gain freedom through the sacrifice that Jesus paid. Today’s prayer is that we would truly seek to bring souls to the Lord! Let the cross of Calvary not be for just some but for all…….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
“But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.” Philippians 3:7 NASB
Before when we were not in Christ, trivial things meant the most to us, possessions, material things, ourselves!!! Is this you today? This scripture tells us that we should count all that was gain to us as nothing!!! Ouch, hard to swallow I know. Today’s prayer is that we would live a life of priority, nice things are nice but are we blessing others on the account of the blessing Jesus gave us?…….Be Blessed & Be a Blessing always
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
“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
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
“CHRIST, THE LORD IS A GOD WHO HEALS. The LORD heals broken bodies, broken minds, broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. GOD’S very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to The LORD without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not because you ask not. You receive the healing that flows naturally from GOD’S Presence, whether you seek it or not. But there is more— much more—available to those who ask. The first step in receiving healing is to live ever so close to GOD. The benefits of this practice are too numerous to list. As you grow more and more intimate with GOD, HE reveals HIS will to you more directly. When the time is right, The LORD prompts you to ask for healing of some brokenness in you or in another person. The healing may be instantaneous, or it may be a process. That is up to GOD. Your part is to trust GOD fully and to thank HIM for the restoration that has begun. GOD rarely heals all the brokenness in a person’s life. Even The LORD’S servant Paul was told, “My grace is sufficient for you,” when he sought healing for the thorn in his flesh. Nonetheless, much healing is available to those whose lives are intimately interwoven with The LORD’S. Ask, and you will receive.”
. . . who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases . . . PSALM 103 : 3
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 7 – 9
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” MATTHEW 7 : 7
Prayer: Lord help me to grow more and more intimate with you. To learn your voice and hear your will for me more clearly. I want my life to be tightly interwoven with yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
““No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.” Luke 6:43 NIV
How’s your fruit? Are you yielding a crop? Jesus speaks this parable in regards to are we rooted in him or the world? Those who are rooted in the Lord do things of the Lord, those who are rooted in the world do things opposite of the Lord. Today’s prayer is that we would make sure we are fertilized in the word daily therefore we become more like 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
“GOD CONTINUALLY CALLS YOU to closeness with HIM. GOD knows the depth and breadth of your need for HIM. The LORD can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from HIM. GOD offers rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in The LORD, other pleasures become less important. Knowing GOD intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from The LORD’S throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances. Waiting in The LORD’S Presence keeps you connected to GOD, aware of all that HE offers you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on GOD. This is how you trust The LORD in the moments of your life.”
But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. PSALM 131 : 2
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7
Prayer: God thank you for providing rest for my soul and refreshment for my mind and body as I spend time with you. Today if I feel any deficiency, help me refocus my attention on you and ask for your help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”” John 2:19 NIV
Jesus made this statement and no one had a clue what he was saying, Jesus spoke in parables throughout his whole ministry and yet no one was listening with spiritual ears. I believe today the same happens when the word of God is read and that is why there is so many options and interpretations. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for spiritual ears and eyes to truly understand Gods word…….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
“EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for GOD. When you became a Christian, GOD infused HIS very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on HIM. Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where GOD wants you—the best place to encounter The LORD in HIS Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to GOD! Allow The LORD to fight for you. Watch GOD working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of GOD’S Almighty Presence.”
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . .” REVELATION 19 : 1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. PSALM 91 : 1
Prayer: Lord help me to expect adversity beyond what I can handle in this life and allow you to fight my battles for me while I rest in your peaceful shadow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
