Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV)
Sometimes it hard to get over the past, someone wronged you, you got so far into debt you didn’t see a way out. The enemy wants you to dwell on those situations so you will look through Gods blessings that are all around you. Today’s prayer is that we would all view the past as a stepping stone in the road that leads us straight to Gods blessings, if you’re still battling it’s time to look to the blessings that are there……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
“REST IN THE STILLNESS of GOD’S Presence while The LORD prepares you for this day. Let the radiance of GOD’S Glory shine upon you, as you wait on HIM in confident trust. Be still and know that The LORD is GOD. There is both a passive and an active side to trusting The LORD. As you rest in GOD’S Presence, focusing on HIM, GOD quietly builds bonds of trust between us. When you respond to the circumstances of your life with affirmations of trust, you actively participate in this process. The LORD is always with you, so you have no reason to be afraid. Your fear often manifests itself in excessive planning. Your mind is so accustomed to this pattern of thinking that you are only now becoming aware of how pervasive it is and how much it hinders your intimacy with GOD. Repent of this tendency and resist it, whenever you realize you are wandering down this well-worn path. Return to GOD’S Presence, which always awaits you in the present moment. GOD accepts you back with no condemnation.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” PSALM 46 : 10
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ROMANS 8 : 1
Prayer: Lord help me to rest in the stillness of your presence. To slow down and live unhurried just as Jesus did. And instead be present in every precious moment you’ve given me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; because as He is, so are we in this world. (I John 4:17 NKJV)
This scripture is hard for a lot of believers to swallow, it’s says we are like Jesus , Really? We are? Yes in our spirit we have been perfected by the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, now in the natural that’s where we need work. Today ask God to let you be led by the spirit not the flesh and watch how we act more and more like Jesus ……..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
“KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD, not only for direction but also for empowerment. GOD never leads you to do something without equipping you for the task. That is why it’s so important to seek GOD’S will in everything you do. There are many burned-out Christians who think more is always better, who deem it unspiritual to say no. In order to know GOD’S will, you must spend time with HIM— enjoying The LORD’S Presence. This is not an onerous task but a delightful privilege. GOD will show you the path of Life; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy; at GOD’S right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. PSALM 141 : 8
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)
Prayer: Jesus help me to fix my eyes on you for direction, empowerment, peace, joy… For everything. You are my everything. Fill me with an abundance of love so much that it spills over to those around me today. May they see you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!” Psalms 42:11 NLT
This is the state you will have if you trust in the world, the world will bring temporary happiness and eternal sorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would have 100% trust in God and God alone……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
“LISTEN TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD has much to communicate to you, so many people and situations in need of prayer. GOD is training you to set your mind on HIM more and more, tuning out distractions through the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit. Walk with The LORD in holy trust, responding to HIS initiatives rather than trying to make things fit your plans. The LORD, Jesus Christ died to set you free, and that includes freedom from compulsive planning. When your mind spins with a multitude of thoughts, you cannot hear The LORD’S voice. A mind preoccupied with planning pays homage to the idol of control. Turn from this idolatry back to GOD. Listen to GOD and live abundantly!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. JOHN 8 : 36
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. PROVERBS 19 : 21
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27
Prayer: Lord I listen for your still small voice directing and guiding me. Holy Spirit help me to set my mind on you more and more each day so that I can live the abundant life you intended long ago for me to live despite any circumstance. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice 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 Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (I John 1:5-7 NKJV)
It is so important as Christians to let our light shine, it is so easy when trials arise to shut the light off and let the dark show and that is exactly what the devil wants. To have true fellowship with The Lord is defined by our actions, remember non believers and some believers are watching what we do under the gun. Today I pray that we all would light our light shine to the glory of God, for he created light and he is light………..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
“LET GOD CONTROL YOUR MIND. The mind is the most restless, unruly part of mankind. Long after you have learned the discipline of holding your tongue, your thoughts defy your will and set themselves up against The LORD. Man is the pinnacle of GOD’S creation, and the human mind is wondrously complex. GOD risked all by granting you freedom to think for yourself. This is godlike privilege, forever setting you apart from animals and robots. GOD made you in HIS image, precariously close to deity. Though The LORD’S blood has fully redeemed you, your mind is the last bastion of rebellion. Open yourself to GOD’S radiant Presence, letting HIS Light permeate your thinking. When GOD’S Holy Spirit is controlling your mind, you are filled with Life and Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27
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, fill it with thoughts of life and peace and things that are honorable and lovely and true and pure. When my mind wanders help me to hold those thoughts captive and make them obediant to Christ. In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV)
Are you at a point in life where you think How did I get here, why am I here, am I ever going to get it turned around? My friends this scripture says there is a time and reason for everything. In life circumstances may look like they’re impossible, but God knows right where you are and why you’re there. Today I pray that whatever circumstance you are in that you trust God will bring you out…. May your tests be your testimony…….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
Preface: There are those among you that are watching the “news media” and hearing constant bad news day in and day out and letting it “stress you out” – Today’s message is especially for you – please don’t let “the world and it’s media” distract you from the Peace that comes from Faith in The LORD.
“DO NOT BE AFRAID, for GOD is with you. Hear GOD saying Peace, be still to your restless heart. No matter what happens, GOD will never leave you or forsake you. Let this assurance soak into your mind and heart, until you overflow with Joy. Though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, you need not fear! The media relentlessly proclaim bad news: for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A steady diet of their fare will sicken you. Instead of focusing on fickle, ever-changing news broadcasts, tune in to the living Word—the One who is always the same. Let Scripture saturate your mind and heart, and you will walk steadily along the path of Life. Even though you don’t know what will happen tomorrow, you can be absolutely sure of your ultimate destination. GOD holds you by your right hand, and afterward GOD will take you into Glory.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. Mark 4 : 39 (NKJV)
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. PSALM 46 : 2
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. PSALM 73 : 23 – 24
Prayer: Lord I don’t know what tomorrow holds but you promise to give me my daily bread, just what I need for each day. Help me to saturate my mind and heart in your unfailing word. And even though I don’t know what will happen tomorrow I am absolutely sure I am Heaven bound. I rest in that today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
