John 11 : 25 – 26

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11 : 25 – 26 NKJV

Martha believed this, do you? JESUS CHRIST is coming back!!!! HE is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. On Easter Sunday ( yesterday ) we celebrate HIS resurrection with joy, for all that HE did for us. The most important thing is to BELIEVE…… Happy Easter to all !! 

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 GOD YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. | EPHESIANS 3 : 20, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

“IN GOD YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. In GOD you are complete. Your capacity to experience GOD is increasing, through THE LORD’S removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for The LORD increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since GOD is infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring GOD above all else is the best way to live. It is impossible for you to have a need that The LORD cannot meet. After all, GOD created you and everything that is. The world is still at GOD’S beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.”

Scripture

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 

As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.  2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, in You, I have everything I need, and in You, I am complete. Clear away the distractions and desires that pull me from You, so that my heart may desire You above all else. Help me to trust in what is unseen and eternal, knowing that You alone satisfy my soul. Amen.

 ‭‭Acts‬ ‭20 : 35

“In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ “” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭20 : 35‬ ‭NASB‬‬

In life we try to do the best we can, but do we try to help others? This scripture says it’s better to give than receive. Do we live by that example? Today’s prayer is that we will get what we need by helping others get what they need. We are blessed to be a blessing ………. 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 68 : 19

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Psalm 68 : 19 NIV

Short and sweet, today I pray that we all would grasp the purpose of The Cross and understand that JESUS CHRIST took and did it all!! Today’s prayer is that we would know without a doubt that JESUS CHRIST is the King of Kings, Lord of all, doer of all things good …….. 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

Romans‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 6 – 9‬

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. ‭Romans‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 6 – 9‬ NLT

Are you or someone waiting until you get your act cleaned up before you go to the lord for salvation? Do you say “I will get right someday”? Today is that day. JESUS CHRIST did not put a requirement to be perfect before you can make HIM Lord of your life!!! JESUS CHRIST died for ALL and all you have to do is call upon HIS name. Today I pray that any who are waiting to know The LORD would lay down the pride and foolishness and accept what JESUS CHRIST did for us on The Cross …… 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 HAS PROMISED to meet all your needs according to HIS glorious riches. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

GOD HAS PROMISED to meet all your needs according to HIS glorious riches. Your deepest, most constant need is for GOD’S Peace. GOD has planted Peace in the garden of your heart, where HE lives; but there are also weeds growing there: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief. GOD is the Gardener, and HE is working to rid your heart of those weeds. GOD does HIS work in various ways. When you sit quietly with The LORD, HE shines the Light of HIS Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light, Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. GOD also allows trials into your life. When you trust The LORD in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Thank GOD for troublesome situations; the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure.”

Scripture

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19 

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, You have promised to meet all my needs, and my greatest need is Your Peace. Shine the Light of Your Presence into my heart, uprooting worry, pride, and unbelief, so that Your Peace may flourish. Help me to trust You in every trial, knowing that You are cultivating something beautiful within me. Amen.

1 John‬ ‭3 : 18

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭3 : 18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Words are sometimes just words! But actions speak volume. Are you showing people love? The same unconditional love that The LORD, JESUS CHRIST showed us at The Cross? Today’s prayer is that when we feel the urge to judge, condemn, or just plain give lip service we would look to the Cross that took all of our Sin, shame, and redeemed it …….. Be Blessed and love someone 

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 CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with HIM. | 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, PROVERBS 3 : 6

“GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with HIM. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with GOD can be uninterrupted. But The LORD challenges you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day just as it comes, and find GOD in the midst of it all. Talk with The LORD about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with GOD. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with The LORD, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead, ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to guide you moment by moment. HE will keep you close to GOD.”

Scripture

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17 

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 6

Personal Note

Personal Note: Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts for my son – The surgery to remove his appendix went smoothly. He came home the same day, He is recuperating, getting more strength back every day, is already back to his college classes and starts back to work today.

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit, guide me moment by moment today. Help me to accept each day just as it comes. Teach me to live with you above my circumstances and communicate with you throughout the day more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21 : 3

“To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21 : 3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To have a heart after GOD’S heart is so much more than to perform religious acts!!!!! To openly come to GOD in prayer with a repentant heart means so much more than filling a pew at church every Sunday! Today’s prayer is that we would be so in tune with GOD’S heart that we would know what pleases HIM in every way, going to church is critical for fellowship and praise, but going to church to watch the clock to see how soon we can get to lunch is open to GOD’S eyes …… Be Blessed

TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. | PSALM 34 : 8, GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14, JOHN 20 : 19, COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. The more intimately you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. GOD is the Living One who sees you and longs to participate in your life. GOD is training you to find HIM in each moment and to be a channel of HIS loving Presence. Sometimes The LORD’S blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know GOD’S goodness only through your trust in HIM. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to The LORD. Thank GOD for the gift of HIS Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When The LORD, JESUS CHRIST appeared to HIS disciples after the resurrection, it was Peace that The LORD communicated first of all. HE knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. The LORD also speaks Peace to you, for HE knows your anxious thoughts. Listen to GOD! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear GOD’S more clearly. GOD designed you to dwell in Peace all day, every day. Draw near to The LORD; receive HIS Peace.”

Scripture

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8 

 So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.  Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.  GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” JOHN 20 : 19 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to dwell in peace, all day everyday. Help me to tune out other voices, so I can hear you more clearly. To slow down, to sit in your presence, and to appreciate your blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
