Matthew 16 : 13 – 17

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are The Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 16 : 13 – 17 NKJV

Who do you say Jesus is ? The disciples walked with Jesus throughout his whole ministry and only Peter knew who he was, not much later after being blessed by Jesus Peter denied even knowing him. In the world today people are trying to prove that Jesus was just a myth, that he is a fairy tale. As Christians we are to stand firm and speak out for Jesus!!!!! He is the Son of God, He is the messiah, He is the savior of the world!!!!! Proudly profess this to all and know that we serve a living God not a fairy tale………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 ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO YOU. – ISAIAH 54 : 10, GENESIS 28 : 15, MATTHEW 28 : 20

“GOD IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO YOU. Once you have trusted GOD as your Savior, The LORD never distances Himself from you. Sometimes you may feel distant from GOD. Recognize that as feeling; do not confuse it with reality. The Bible is full of The LORD’S promises to be with you always. As GOD assured Jacob, when he was journeying away from home into unknown places, GOD is with you and will watch over you wherever you go. The LORD’S last recorded promise to HIS followers was: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”. Let these assurances of GOD’S continual Presence fill you with Joy and Peace. No matter what you may lose in this life, you can never lose your relationship with The LORD.”

Scripture

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, there is no one on this earth who is always available to me, but You, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, are always with me. I am in awe of Your constant presence. Thank You, Lord. Thank You for Your Word, which is filled with your promise to be with me to the end of the age. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jeremiah‬ ‭17 : 7

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17 : 7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Sometimes things get so crazy we forget who is in control and has our back. God’s promise is just this. Today’s prayer is that we would put all of our trust and confidence in the Lord, no matter how tough things get, turn to him and find perfect peace…….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 along paths of trust. – ISAIAH 26 : 4, PSALM 9 : 10, PSALM 25 : 4 – 5, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

“WALK WITH GOD along paths of trust. The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in GOD. When your faith falters, you choose a trail that meanders and takes you well out of your way. You will get to point B eventually, but you will have lost precious time and energy. As soon as you realize you have wandered from your trust-path, look to The LORD and whisper, “I trust You, Jesus.” This affirmation will help you get back on track. The farther you roam along paths of unbelief, the harder it is to remember that I am with you. Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of GOD’S Presence. You need to voice your trust in The LORD frequently. This simple act of faith will keep you walking along straight paths with GOD. Trust in The LORD with all your heart, and HE will make your paths straight.”

Scripture

Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. ISAIAH 26 : 4

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. PSALM 9 : 10

Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. PSALM 25 : 4 – 5

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus show me your ways and guide me in your truth. Whenever I wander, help me to whisper “I trust you, Jesus” and surrender the situation to you. You know best. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭3 : 14

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3 : 14‬ ‭

Do you find yourself striving for greatness? And to what measure are you striving for?. God has called us to live a life that is pleasing to him, pressing forward to the goal of bringing heaven to earth. Today’s prayer is that we would strive for greatness in God’s eyes not the world’s, that we would be seeking approval from God not man. In Jesus 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

DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. – JOHN 15 : 5, EPHESIANS 6 : 10, GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

“DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. The desire to act independently — apart from GOD — springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from The LORD, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. GOD’S deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on HIM in every situation. GOD moves heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with HIM in this training. Teaching you would be simple if GOD negated your free will or overwhelmed you with HIS Power. However, The LORD loves you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege HE bestowed on you as HIS image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on GOD constantly. Thus you enjoy GOD’S Presence and GOD’S Peace.”

Scripture

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. EPHESIANS 6 : 10

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me to depend on you in every situation. Help me to do my part by spending time getting to know you each day through your word prayer, and fellowship with other believers. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭13 ‬: ‭12‬

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13 ‬: ‭12‬ ESV

Do you have an identity crisis? Are you searching for who you truly are? Do you see a reflection of the things of Jesus or the world? This scripture explains that we see a dim image, as Christians we are the righteousness of Jesus, we may not appear that way in the natural but spiritually we are. Today I pray that we would all know our identity, that one day we will stand face to face with our Lord and truly see who we are…..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

Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 1

“So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you stuck in the same Church rut you were when you first became a Christian? Are you hearing the same thing over and over again ? Well take it upon yourself to advance in your walk with Christ. This scripture explains we don’t need to keep doing the things we did when we first became Christians but to break out and advance. Today’s prayer is that we would want to advance our knowledge about our Savior, not just have fire insurance!!!!! Pray hard and read your Bible God will show you his way………Be Blessed and always 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

Micah‬ ‭6 : 8

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah‬ ‭6 : 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture lays a great foundation for us to live our lives by. Day to day circumstances can seem impossible, but with God All things are possible. Today’s prayer is that we would act just to all we meet, give love and mercy and remember it has been given to us, and last but not least walk humbly with God at all times……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 BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. – JOHN 15 : 13 – 15, ISAIAH 61 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

“GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with GOD through your life. Together you will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with The LORD. GOD can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. THe LORD can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like GOD! The friendship GOD offers you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in The LORD’S Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. GOD has equipped you to stay conscious of HIM while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.”

Scripture

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

. . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ISAIAH 61 : 3

. . . sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for walking with me hand in hand in whatever today brings; Whether trials or triumphs we will handle it together. Lead the way. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
