Daily Devotional Video 3/20/2020 – 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17, PSALM 50 : 14

https://youtu.be/GURFhJEew0U

“THANK THE LORD FOR THE GLORIOUS GIFT OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT. This is like priming the pump of a well. As you bring The LORD the sacrifice of thanksgiving, regardless of your feelings, GOD’S Holy Spirit is able to work more freely within you. This produces more thankfulness and more freedom, until you are overflowing with gratitude. GOD showers blessings on you daily, but sometimes you don’t perceive them. When your mind is stuck on a negative focus, you see neither The LORD nor HIS gifts. In faith, thank GOD for whatever is preoccupying your mind. This will clear the blockage so that you can find The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 5

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17

Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High. PSALM 50 : 14

Prayer: Lord thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit with me and in me at all times. Help me to spend time each day thanking you for all you have done and are doing in my life. This frees me from the bondage of worry and negative thoughts. Each time my mind wanders back, remind me to thank you instead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/19/2020 – ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

https://youtu.be/_D7rhgMyyqw

“GOD SPEAKS TO YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF YOUR BEING. Hear GOD saying soothing words of Peace, assuring you of HIS Love. Do not listen to voices of accusation, for they are not from GOD. The LORD speaks to you in love-tones, lifting you up. GOD’S Holy Spirit convicts cleanly, without crushing words of shame. Let the Spirit take charge of your mind, combing out tangles of deception. Be transformed by the truth that GOD lives within you. The Light of GOD’S Presence is shining upon you, in benedictions of Peace. Let GOD’S Light shine in you; don’t dim it with worries or fears. Holiness is letting GOD live through you. Since GOD dwells in you, you are fully equipped to be holy. Pause before responding to people or situations, giving Christ’s Holy Spirit space to act through you. Hasty words and actions leave no room for The LORD; this is atheistic living. The LORD wants to inhabit all your moments— gracing your thoughts, words, and behavior.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

Prayer: Holy Spirit help me to pause before responding to people or situations and listen for your prompting and direction. Inhabit all my moments Lord, my thoughts, my words, and my circumstances. Protect and lead me as I go through this day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/18/2020 – Matthew 6:34

https://youtu.be/j6keVEKwEx8

“TRUST THE LORD ONE DAY AT A TIME. This keeps you close to GOD, responsive to HIS will. Trust is not a natural response, especially for those who have been deeply wounded. GOD’S Holy Spirit within you is your resident tutor, helping you in this supernatural endeavor. Yield to GOD’S gentle touch; be sensitive to HIS prompting. Exert your will to trust The LORD in all circumstances. Don’t let your need to understand distract you from GOD’S Presence. GOD will equip you to get through this day victoriously, as you live in deep dependence on HIM. Tomorrow is busy worrying about itself; don’t get tangled up in its worry-webs. Trust GOD one day at a time.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you. PSALM 84 : 12

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34

Prayer: Lord thank you for equipping me with everything I need to live victoriously today. Help me to trust you in all circumstances. Your Holy Spirit is in me and with me always – teaching me and guiding me. Thank you for this precious gift. Help me to be sensitive to His prompting today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/17/2020 – PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22 , JOSHUA 1 : 5

https://youtu.be/trqFuxwKD44

“COME TO THE LORD FOR UNDERSTANDING, since The LORD knows you far better than you know yourself. GOD comprehends you in all your complexity; no detail of your life is hidden from HIM. GOD views you through eyes of grace, so don’t be afraid of GOD’S intimate awareness. Allow the Light of GOD’S healing Presence to shine into the deepest recesses of your being—cleansing, healing, refreshing, and renewing you. Trust GOD enough to accept the full forgiveness that HE offers you continually. This great gift, which cost The LORD, JESUS CHRIST HIS Life, is yours for all eternity. Forgiveness is at the very core of The LORD’S abiding Presence. GOD will never leave you or forsake you. When no one else seems to understand you, simply draw closer to GOD. Rejoice in the One who understands you completely and loves you perfectly. As The LORD fills you with HIS Love, you become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of other people.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

Prayer: God as I spend quiet time with you today, shine your light in me – cleanse me, heal me, refresh me, and renew me Lord. Fill me with your love so that I can become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of others today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭23:4-6‬

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:4-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is all we need to live by!!! It’s right on point, when you’re scared God is there! When we mess up Gods Holy Spirit lets us know, he delivers us from all adversity, and he blesses us daily even though we fall short!!!! And he knows us more than all the grains of sand in the earth!!! Today’s prayer is that we would realize how much God loves us and his love is UNCONDITIONAL!!!! Not just when we are good in our eyes he knows our heart……Be Blessed and always be a Blessing

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 3/16/2020 – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

https://youtu.be/jXRMyAcGCuU

“IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. That keeps you looking to GOD, your Strength. Abundant life is not necessarily health and wealth; it is living in continual dependence on GOD. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what The LORD is doing. This mind-set will free you to enjoy GOD and to find what The LORD has planned for you to do. This is far better than trying to make things go according to your own plan. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with GOD. You have GOD on your side, so what are you worried about? GOD can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is HIS will. The more difficult your day, the more The LORD yearns to help you. Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts. When you look to GOD and whisper HIS Name, you break free and receive GOD’S help. Focus on The LORD, and you will find Peace in HIS Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13 (AMP)

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22

Prayer: Lord help me to focus on you, your word, and your promises. You promise to never leave me or forsake me. You promise to use everything for my good. Nothing that is happening is a surprise to you. You are still in control. I trust you wholeheartedly. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6‬

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6‬ ‭

Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is were it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..Be Blessed

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

“LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with The LORD, the One who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only GOD’S Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer. As you sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, GOD shines Peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain The LORD’S perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in GOD’S Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33 (NKJV)

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. JOHN 16 : 22

Prayer: Lord help me to spend quiet time with you each day so you can infuse your peace and joy despite any circumstance life may bring. Help me to see things from your perspective and distinguish what is important and what is not today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
