Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7 : 8‬ ‭

“The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7 : 8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Have you ever noticed how some things start out tough? Do you look to the end at the start and think it can’t be done? I have. How satisfying is it when you get it done and it’s correct? VERY!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would see that Jesus Christ finished it all for believers and all we have to do is pray through the trials and they will end way better than they start …….. 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

2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 16

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 16‬ NLT

Do you ever feel like you’re just flopping around like a fish out of water? Does it ever feel like the more of you in the situation the worse it gets? This scriptures tells us that God’s word will direct us on what to do, the world will tell you you’re weak if you need help, but Jesus Christ  did not hang on The Cross so that we could be struggling day to day. Today I pray that we all would humble ourselves in front of The Lord and let HIM do HIS mighty work in each and every one of us. Less of us and more of 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

John‬ ‭20 : 27‬

“Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭20 : 27‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you know something is true but still have disbelief? Do you find yourself questioning GOD’s miracles even though you have seen them manifest before? That I believe at some point has happened to us all. In a fallen world the devil wants us to think that GOD is not alive and it’s all a fairy tale, but be assured “God is Alive”. Today’s prayer is that we stand on the truth!! GOD is there always has been and always will be! ….. 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

AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION to GOD, feel the Light of The LORD’S Presence shining upon you. | JOHN 17 : 20 – 23, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/nGy5Plqs7pU

“AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION to GOD, feel the Light of The LORD’S Presence shining upon you. Open your mind and heart to receive GOD’S heavenly smile of approval. Let GOD’S gold-tinged Love wash over you and soak into the depths of your being. As you are increasingly filled with GOD”S Being, you experience joyous union with The LORD: GOD in you, and you in GOD. Your Joy-in-GOD and HIS Joy-in-you become intertwined and inseparable. The LORD suffuses your soul with Joy in HIS Presence; at The LORD’S right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”

Scripture

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” JOHN 17 : 20 – 23

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for showing me the path of life, the path full of joy and pleasure in You. Surround me with Your love and draw me into deeper union with You, where my joy and Yours become one. May others see you through me. Amen.

Galatians 6 : 4

Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. Galatians 6 : 4 NLT

I see so many people trying to please everyone in all they do, you will bring continuous disappointment to yourself living that way. Human nature is to be jealous and full of envy. GOD on the other hand knows what you do, HE knows your heart. Today I pray that we would all work unto The Lord in all we do for that will bring true satisfaction! …….. 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

NO MATTER WHAT your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in GOD’S Presence. | PSALM 21 : 6, PROVERBS 2 : 4

https://youtu.be/cJoKHJLqSD0

“NO MATTER WHAT your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in GOD’S Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as a hidden treasure. Begin by remembering that GOD has created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that GOD is present with you whether you sense HIS Presence or not. Then, start talking with The LORD about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that GOD understands you perfectly, and HE knows exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with The LORD, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of GOD’S marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.”

Scripture

Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6 

. . . and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure. PROVERBS 2 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your constant companionship. Even when I don’t see it, you’re working. Even when I don’t feel it, you’re working. Teach me to have your joy on the grayest of days. 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 GOD 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, you may just be the witness they need to find 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

TO LIVE IN GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. | PSALM 139 : 23 – 24, 1 PETER 5 : 6, JOB 1 : 21

https://youtu.be/2fc-jNx101M

“TO LIVE IN GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that The LORD can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to GOD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in GOD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time — are gifts from GOD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything The LORD takes from you, but never let go of HIS hand!”

Scripture

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 : 23 – 24 

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6 

And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 NKJV

Prayers

Prayer: God help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. You know what’s best, I trust your sovereign plan. Search my heart and show me any area I need to let go of my will to yield to yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭14 : 12

“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭14 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The name lucifer means “shining one” bearer of light” in the traditional translation Hebrew. The name lucifer means ” Morning Star” in the Greek translation. In the modern church the name is known as Satan or the Devil. Before the fall of lucifer it’s said he was the most beautiful angel, so don’t you think he will entice you with things of beauty? Something that may look good and acceptable wrapped up in a devilish package? Today’s prayer is that we would be so led by the spirit of God that we would have the discernment to know the Good from evil …….. In Jesus Christ name 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 IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. | PSALM 139 : 14, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16, 1 JOHN 1 : 7

https://youtu.be/1EZg55GE0tg

“GOD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in GOD alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with The LORD, HIS Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let GOD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with HIM.”

Scripture

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14 

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.  2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16

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. 1 JOHN 1 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord though outwardly I am aging and growing weary, on the inside you are making me more and more alive. Fill me with Your strength and energy each day, and let Your light and joy shine through me. Amen.
