1Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-18

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. ‭1Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-18‬ NLT

To have a joyful heart is to know how blessed you are, to pray in all circumstances is to acknowledge that Jesus is in control, to give thanks in all circumstances is our reasonable service for what God has done for us… Today I pray that all would be joyful, thankful, and pray through all situations……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

IN ORDER TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE, you must release all your worries into GOD’S care. – 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7, PSALM 118 : 24, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

https://youtu.be/nATgUbnSSiU

“IN ORDER TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE, you must release all your worries into GOD’S care. Entrust to GOD everything that concerns you. This clears the way for you to seek The LORD’s Face unhindered. Let The LORD free you from fear that is hiding deep inside you. Sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, allowing The LORD’s Light to soak into you and drive out any darkness lodged within you. Accept each day just as it comes to you, remembering that GOD is sovereign over your life. Rejoice in this day that The LORD has made, trusting that GOD is abundantly present in it. Instead of regretting or resenting the way things are, thank The LORD in all circumstances. Trust GOD and don’t be fearful; thank GOD and rest in HIS sovereignty.”

Scripture

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24

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

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I long to hear your voice. Help me to release all my worries to you so I can free up my heart to hear your still small voice. Your presence is far greater than anything you give me. Help me to sit quietly with you, experiencing all of you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬ NLT

Is prayer your first choice or your last resort? Are you looking for help everywhere and when it doesn’t show up you say ” well all I can do now is pray” you have it totally backwards!!!!!! The bible says Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanksgiving and prayer. Well today I pray that our response to everything would be in prayer and thanksgiving ……. Be Blessed and Pray Hard

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 ‭17‬:‭22-23

“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. ‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭22-23‬ NLT

Jesus said he gave us perfect unity so that our witness will be different from the world, how is your witness working out? Do you respond to situations like someone who doesn’t know Jesus? Or do you respond with the values of the promise he gave us? Today I pray that our responses would be filled with faith and on the foundation of God’s living word and promise…..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

BE WILLING TO FOLLOW wherever GOD leads. – 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, PSALM 96 : 6, JOHN 8 : 12, PSALM 36 : 9

https://youtu.be/Ilp0Lj9H4YQ

“BE WILLING TO FOLLOW wherever GOD leads. Follow GOD wholeheartedly, with glad anticipation quickening your pace. Though you don’t know what lies ahead, GOD knows; and that is enough! Some of GOD’S richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight, but nonetheless very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith-—not by sight. This doesn’t mean closing your eyes to what is all around you. It means subordinating the visible world to the invisible Shepherd of your soul. Sometimes The LORD leads you up a high mountain with only HIS hand to support you. The higher you climb, the more spectacular the view becomes; also, the more keenly you sense your separation from the world with all its problems. This frees you to experience exuberantly the joyous reality of GOD’s Presence. Give yourself fully to these Glory-moments, awash in dazzling Light. GOD will eventually lead you down the mountain, back into community with others. Let The LORD’s Light continue to shine within you as you walk among people again.”

Scripture

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. PSALM 96 : 6

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

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me how to be in your presence, to have face-to-face, spirit to spirit connection with you. To rest in you, to be refreshed by you, and to have joy unending in your presence. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭56‬ : ‭3-4

But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? Psalms‬ ‭56‬:‭3-4‬ NLT

What are you afraid of ? What is it that worries you? What makes you fret? Today’s prayer is that you will put all your trust in God, he always has your back in all situations……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

Acts ‭9‬:‭1-6‬

Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” ‭Acts ‭9‬:‭1-6‬ NLT

Saul was one of the most dangerous threats to the Christians of all times, but God had a major plan for him. The transformation from Saul to Paul was amazing and God is still transforming people in the same way today. Paul went on to write more than half of the New Testament and is considered one of the greatest apostles of Christ. Today’s prayer is that God would work that same miracle in the ones that persecute the Christians today and that they would see the Lord for who he is……Be Blessed

REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19, 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27

https://youtu.be/GodxT1Kub2s

“REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world’s most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in GOD’S Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons . . . anywhere. Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with GOD. Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but GOD will help you with them. If you make problem-solving secondary to the goal of living close to GOD, you can find Joy even in your most difficult days.”

Scripture

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place. 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank you for reminding me that true joy is a by-product of living in your presence. Teach me how to live more often in your presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. ‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ NLT

Are you feeling defeated today? Do you feel like you are in a hole so deep you will never get out? God’s promise is that he has the situation in control, we may not see a way but God has all the ways. Today I pray that we would put our trust in the Lord and understand that his ways are not our ways most of the time……….. Be Blessed and Trust in the Lord

GOD IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. – JOHN 14 : 16 – 17, JOHN 16 : 7, ZECHARIAH 4 : 6

https://youtu.be/FDmMAB4zQIQ

“GOD IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although GOD is unimaginably vast, GOD chooses to dwell within you, permeating you with HIS Presence. Only in the spirit realm could someone so infinitely great live within someone so very small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of GOD’S Holy Spirit within you! Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask. When the path before you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on GOD. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask GOD’s Holy Spirit to help you as you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious Source of strength within you.

Scripture

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” JOHN 14 : 16 – 17 (NKJV)

“But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” JOHN 16 : 7

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.” ZECHARIAH 4 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, you are amazing. Not only did you send your one and only son to die for my sins, through that sacrifice, you provided a way for me to talk with you anytime, anywhere and you gave me your Holy Spirit to abide with me and in me as my counselor and helper. You are so good Lord. Thank you. Thank you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
