GOD SPEAKS TO YOU from deepest heaven. – PSALM 42 : 7, PSALM 95 : 1 – 2, MATTHEW 7 : 24 – 25

https://youtu.be/nomcw3KwFcU

“GOD SPEAKS TO YOU from deepest heaven. You hear GOD in the depths of your being. Deep calls unto deep. You are blessed to hear GOD so directly. Never take this privilege for granted. The best response is a heart overflowing with gratitude. The LORD is training you to cultivate a thankful mind-set. This is like building your house on a firm rock, where life’s storms cannot shake you. As you learn these lessons, you are to teach them to others. GOD will open up the way before you, one step at a time.

Scripture

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. PSALM 42 : 7 (NKJV)

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 1 – 2

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” MATTHEW 7 : 24 – 25

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I want to build the foundation of my life on you, my rock. Help me to start each day with a grateful spirit. Thank you for another day to love you and love others – our purpose in this life. Equip me to do them well for your glory. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭4 : 4 – 5‬

“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4 : 4 – 5‬ ‭

God the Father knew the time to send the savior of the world, the messiah, God himself in the form of man. God brought forth the law because that is what was asked for knowing that man could not keep it, only one could keep it God! Jesus was born into the world to redeem us from the sin of the world and bring us into sonship with the father. Isn’t grace and mercy a wonderful thing? Today’s prayer is that we would understand that all that call upon the name of Jesus are God’s family, Sons and Daughters of God almighty………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

UNDERSTANDING will never bring you Peace. – PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6, ROMANS 5 : 1, 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16

https://youtu.be/EQJejlCOLi0

“UNDERSTANDING will never bring you Peace. That’s why GOD has instructed you to trust in HIM, not in your understanding. Human beings have a voracious appetite for trying to figure things out, in order to gain a sense of mastery over their lives. But the world presents you with an endless series of problems. As soon as you master one set, another pops up to challenge you. The relief you had anticipated is short-lived. Soon your mind is gearing up again: searching for understanding (mastery), instead of seeking GOD (your Master). The wisest of all men, Solomon, could never think his way through to Peace. His vast understanding resulted in feelings of futility, rather than in fulfillment. Finally, he lost his way and succumbed to the will of his wives by worshiping idols. GOD’S Peace is not an elusive goal, hidden at the center of some complicated maze. Actually, you are always enveloped in Peace, which is inherent in GOD’S Presence. As you look to GOD, you gain awareness of this precious Peace.”

Scripture

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

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ROMANS 5 : 1

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16

Personal Note

PS: Earlier this week on social media I saw a friend’s post about many of the various political / world issues going on in today’s world and this “world news” is something that many people get wrapped up in or stressed out about. Today’s message should remind us that GOD has a plan for this world and ours is NOT to understand or judge or “fix it” but to have Faith that GOD has it well in hand on HIS terms. Relax in the Peace brought on by knowing the world is in GOD’S hands.

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your peace and your presence with me all the time. Help me to gain more awareness of your precious peace you freely give. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭3 : 2 – 5

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3 : 2 – 5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are the words you’re speaking into people’s lives edifying or damning? From the ” good morning” to the “what’s wrong with you idiot”. James speaks clearly about the power of the tongue in this scripture just how powerful one little word can affect someone. Today’s prayer is that we would all let God put a bit in our mouths or a rudder on our tongue, that we would edify people no matter how we feel. When someone wrongs you hand it over to God and bite down on that bit……..Be Blessed and tell someone “Good Morning”

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

WHEN THINGS SEEM to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in GOD. – JOB 13 : 15, PSALM 18 : 33, HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

https://youtu.be/F4Ahh_Tpo2U

“WHEN THINGS SEEM to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in GOD. Calmly bring these matters to The LORD, and leave them in HIS capable hands. Then, simply do the next thing. Stay in touch with GOD through thankful, trusting prayers, resting in GOD’S sovereign control. Rejoice in The LORD — exult in the God of your salvation! As you trust in GOD, HE makes your feet like the feet of a deer. GOD enables you to walk and make progress upon your high places of trouble, suffering, or responsibility.”

Scripture

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. JOB 13 : 15 (NKJV)

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. PSALM 18 : 33

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to stop and affirm my trust in you and leave all my concerns in your capable hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84 : 5‬

“Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84 : 5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How is your relationship with God? Do you go to church on Sunday and that’s where it ends until next Sunday ? Do you stay in constant communication with him daily? This psalm speaks about pilgrimage (meaning a journey, a search for a spiritual place). How is your journey going? Today’s prayer is that we would seek God in all we do and do all we can to please God in our journey………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

SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while The LORD blesses you. – PSALM 37 : 7, ROMANS 8 : 16 – 17, 1 PETER 2 : 9

https://youtu.be/KdX4LsRkjGY

“SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while The LORD blesses you. Make your mind like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts GOD drops into it. Rest in GOD’S sufficiency, as you consider the challenges this day presents. Do not wear yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures. Keep looking to The LORD and communicating with HIM, as you walk through this day together. Take time to rest by the wayside, for GOD is not in a hurry. A leisurely pace accomplishes more than hurried striving. When you rush, you forget who you are and whose you are. Remember that you are royalty in GOD’S kingdom.”

Scripture

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. ROMANS 8 : 16 – 17

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 PETER 2 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to make time to sit in your presence. To keep looking at you and talking with you as we walk through this day together. To rest often and feel no guilt, just as you did on the 7th day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬

“For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Oh to be pleasing to God, he loves when we become more like his Son. The way we think determines the way we act, for example if we look at the negative in all situations we will become negative, if we look at the positives we will become positive. Today’s prayer is that we would be bright witnesses to the positive change having Jesus as the cornerstone in our lives and let all know it’s waiting for them as well…….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 THE SACRIFICE of your time: a most precious commodity. – PSALM 21 : 6, JOHN 7 : 38, PSALM 103 : 11

https://youtu.be/jt3y_HYLwew

“BRING GOD THE SACRIFICE of your time: a most precious commodity. In this action-addicted world, few of GOD’S children take time to sit quietly in HIS Presence. But for those who do, blessings flow like streams of living water. GOD, the One from whom all blessings flow, is also blessed by your time together. This is a deep mystery; do not try to fathom it. Instead, glorify GOD by delighting in HIM. Enjoy GOD now and forever!”

Scripture

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

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” JOHN 7 : 38

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. PSALM 103 : 11

Prayers

Prayer: Lord you have given everyone the same 24 hours in a day and given us the choice of how to spend it. Today, help me to demonstrate that you are 1st priority in my life by spending time in your presence and your word. Help me to delight in this time with you. Satisfy my thirsty soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭64:8‬

“And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture describes us as clay and Father God as the Potter. How mold-able is your clay? If you have ever worked with clay you know that it has a mind all its own, sound familiar? And as the potter you have to mold it and tame it and keep it under control. In the same way the Father is always molding us into something beautiful even when we have a mind of our own. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for the Father to mold us into a masterpiece for his Kingdom……Be Blessed
