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

“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 GOD does not drive you to be what you are not. Your pretense displeases The LORD, especially when it is in HIS “service.” Concentrate on staying close to GOD at all times. It is impossible to be inauthentic while you are focusing on The LORD’S Presence.”

Scripture

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

Prayers

Prayer: Lord thank you for the freedom in seeking to please you above all else. Help me to concentrate on staying close to you this week, the safest place to be. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 10 : 10

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10 : 10 NKJV

The thief in this passage is the Devil!!! He wants to bring “doom and gloom” to your whole surroundings. He wants you to feel broke, alone, not good enough, just plain broken. Jesus however says I give you life to the fullest, in abundance (more than enough) money, happiness, peace, everything. Today who are you gonna believe? I choose to take the gift that was given to me on the cross LIFE………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

BRING GOD ALL YOUR FEELINGS, even the ones you wish you didn’t have. – EPHESIANS 6 : 16, 1 JOHN 1 : 5 – 7, ISAIAH 12 : 2

“BRING GOD ALL YOUR FEELINGS, even the ones you wish you didn’t have. Fear and anxiety still plague you. Feelings per se are not sinful, but they can be temptations to sin. Blazing missiles of fear fly at you day and night; these attacks from the evil one come at you relentlessly. Use your shield of faith to extinguish those flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in GOD, regardless of how you feel. If you persist, your feelings will eventually fall in line with your faith. Do not hide from your fear or pretend it isn’t there. Anxiety that you hide in the recesses of your heart will give birth to fear of fear: a monstrous stepchild. Bring your anxieties out into the Light of The LORD’S Presence, where you can deal with them together. Concentrate on trusting GOD, and fearfulness will gradually lose its foothold within you.”

Scripture

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. EPHESIANS 6 : 16

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 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 : 5 – 7

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I affirm my trust in You, regardless of my feelings. I bring all my feelings to you to sort out and work through. Help me to put on the full armor you have given me and to activate them all with prayer. In the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭8 : 35 – 39

“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8 : 35 – 39‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Well if you didn’t know now you do!!!!! The world is full of judgement and condemnation thus the daily persecution. This scripture tells us just how much God loves us, and nothing can ever change that!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we all would meditate on this scripture and truly understand the everlasting love of God………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

Psalm‬ ‭90 : 12‬

“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

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

1 Peter‬ ‭2 ‬: ‭2

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 1Peter‬ ‭2 ‬: ‭2‬ NLT

What things are you craving? Are you focused more on things around you or things of the Lord? Today I pray that we all will crave the word of God! Study it, learn it, and live it…….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 NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. – ACTS 17 : 27 – 28, HEBREWS 11 : 1

“GOD IS NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to GOD by Love-bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone, because your union with GOD is invisible. Ask The LORD to open your eyes, so that you can find HIM everywhere. The more aware you are of GOD’S Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is tuning into ultimate reality. The LORD is far more Real than the world you can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”

Scripture

“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 27 – 28

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. HEBREWS 11 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord open my eyes, my spouse’s eyes, and my children’s eyes to find you everywhere. To know you are more real than anything on this earth. Help us to live out our purpose this week – to love God and love others. With your help we can do both well. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭14‬ : ‭11 – 13

For the Scriptures say, “‘As surely as I live,’ says the LORD, ‘every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to God. ’” Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall. Romans‬ ‭14‬ : ‭11 – 13‬ NLT

Are you praying for someone to have a encounter with God? I sure am glad someone was praying for me when I didn’t know him. This scripture says EVERY!!!! knee not some, the person or people that you’re praying for need to be shown the love of The Lord, not the condemnation of Men……Today I pray that we would all live our lives as an example of Christ and love someone home …..Be Blessed

COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. – SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13, LUKE 10 : 42

“COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. The world, with its nonstop demands, can be put on hold. Most people put The LORD on hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on HIM. But the longer people push GOD into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find HIM. You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives. Even those who know The LORD as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world. They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity. The LORD has called you to follow HIM on a solitary path, making time alone with GOD your highest priority and deepest Joy. It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised. However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you. Moreover, as you walk close to GOD, The LORD can bless others through you.”

Scripture

“The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13

“But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 42

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to make time alone with you and let that be my highest priority and deepest joy each day. Help me to march to your tempo, not the world’s. Fill me with all peace and joy today by the power of your Holy Spirit. Use me to be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭8 : 9

“O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8 : 9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Today’s world is so into itself! You have those who believe the world exploded into existence, those who believe there are many gods, those who believe they are gods, and those who believe a supreme being does not exist. In the end all will experience the one true God!! The God who created the world and the God who will end this world. Today’s prayer is that we all would witness the only God!!! JESUS CHRIST, The LORD, GOD Almighty, Abba, The Alpha and Omega. God is real and he is living!! be versed up in his word to effectively witness……Be Blessed
