Daily Devotional Video 6/15/2020 – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18, ISAIAH 6 : 3, PSALM 130 : 5

https://youtu.be/cZ-4tuURLvQ

“WHEN YOU APPROACH GOD in stillness and in trust, you are strengthened. You need a buffer zone of silence around you in order to focus on things that are unseen. Since GOD is invisible, you must not let your senses dominate your thinking. The curse of this age is over-stimulation of the senses, which blocks out awareness of the unseen world. The tangible world still reflects GOD’S Glory, to those who have eyes that see and ears that hear. Spending time alone with GOD is the best way to develop seeing eyes and hearing ears. The goal is to be aware of unseen things even as you live out your life in the visible world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. PSALM 130 : 5

Prayer: Lord help me to approach you in stillness and trust, allowing you to strengthen me. Open my eyes to see and my ears to hear of your beautiful creation that reflect your glory all around me. Fill me with your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8‬

“The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Have you ever noticed how most things finish better than they start if we have patience? Do you ever get the I want it now attitude? Well I know I have fallen into this trap and made a mess of many things. This scripture paints a clear picture that good things come to those who wait. The best we have to look forward too is the Lords return. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for patience and in the process be humble…….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

‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4-5

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4-5‬ )

Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and 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

Romans‬ ‭13:8‬

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” Romans‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you loving to get something or are you loving because that’s what’s in your heart? To love someone is to give the same sacrifice that Christ gave on the cross! As hard as that maybe it’s truth. True love is forgiveness no matter what the circumstance. Today’s prayer is that Jesus would help us with forgiveness. And place on our hearts true love……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

Daily Devotional Video 6/12/2020 – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/VHpdaYTYG_0

“LET GOD HELP YOU get through this day. There are many possible paths to travel between your getting up in the morning and your lying down at night. Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of GOD’S Presence. You will get through this day one way or the other. One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet. This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with GOD along the path of Peace, leaning on The LORD as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in GOD’S strength. Thank The LORD for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how GOD transforms trials into blessings.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10 “

. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer: Lord help me to walk with you on the path of peace, leaning on you the whole way. Thank you for transforming my trials into blessings. Nothing is wasted with you God. Guide me today in your path Lord. For your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭

Daily Devotional Video 6/11/2020 – ISAIAH 12 : 2, ROMANS 8 : 6

https://youtu.be/hfzyplTH8MA

“TRUST GOD and don’t be afraid, for GOD is your Strength and Song. Do not let fear dissipate your energy. Instead, invest your energy in trusting GOD and singing HIS Song. The battle for control of your mind is fierce, and years of worry have made you vulnerable to the enemy. Therefore, you need to be vigilant in guarding your thoughts. Do not despise this weakness in yourself, since GOD is using it to draw you closer to HIM. Your constant need for GOD creates an intimacy that is well worth all the effort. You are not alone in this struggle for your mind. GOD’S Holy Spirit living within you is ever ready to help in this striving. Ask GOD to control your mind; He will bless you with Life and Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“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

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Prayer: Holy Spirit control my mind today and fill it with life and peace. You Lord are my strength and my song. I sing your praises when I wake up, throughout the day, and when I lie down. May your promises be a light to my feet and a lamp to my path as I trust in you all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. (‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬)

Are you letting someone or something steal your joy? Are you letting the circumstance control you? Well don’t!!! The devil works in and through many situations so let your joy always trump the situation. Today I pray that our attitudes will always look to the blessings we experience everyday and not the temporary problems……In Jesus Name Be Blessed

Daily Devotional Video 6/10/2020 – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, PSALM 62 : 5

https://youtu.be/h10bbUa06qo

“REST IN GOD, YOU ARE HIS CHILD. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking GOD’S Holy Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with GOD. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don’t even feel the strong grip of GOD’S hand holding yours. How foolish you are, GOD’S child! Remembrance of The LORD is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of GOD’S Presence with you. This will keep you resting in The LORD all day, every day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. PSALM 62 : 5

Prayer: Lord help me to rest in you. Holy Spirit, take charge of the details of this day. Help me to talk to you throughout the day and fix my eyes on Jesus, the only one who keeps me in perfect peace no matter what is going on around me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭AMP

“For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgement and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;” Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I love this translation, it explains Grace to a Tee. I believe sometimes as Christians we forget that God’s grace is such a beautiful gift, sometimes we act like it’s our actions that create our peace. The fact of the matter is if not for grace we would be living a life of destruction! But by our faith in Jesus we now have become Sons and Daughters of God. Today’s prayer is that we would never stop thanking God for his Grace and live a life that is pleasing to him……..Be Blessed
