TO LIVE in GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. – PSALM 139 : 23 – 24, 1 PETER 5 : 6, JOB 1 : 21

https://youtu.be/qOWyJ7lvH9Y

“TO LIVE in GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that GOD can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to GOD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in GOD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time—are gifts from The LORD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything GOD takes from you, but never let go of The LORD’S hand!”

Scripture

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 23 – 24

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6

And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. You know whats best and I trust your sovereign plan. Search my heart and show me any area I need to let go of my will to yield to yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Where do you take shelter? Do you find shelter in the worry of the world? Or in the never ending promise in God’s Word? Today’s prayer is that we would all know where our place is! We belong aside the Almighty at all times……..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

GO GENTLY THROUGH THIS DAY, keeping your eyes on GOD. – JOHN 10 : 14 – 15, ISAIAH 26 : 7

https://youtu.be/9_IDWM0dPuU

“GO GENTLY THROUGH THIS DAY, keeping your eyes on GOD. GOD will open up the way before you, as you take steps of trust along your path. Sometimes the way before you appears to be blocked. If you focus on the obstacle or search for a way around it, you will probably go off course. Instead, focus on The LORD, the Shepherd who is leading you along your life-journey. Before you know it, the “obstacle” will be behind you and you will hardly know how you passed through it. That is the secret of success in GOD’s kingdom. Although you remain aware of the visible world around you, your primary awareness is of The LORD. When the road before you looks rocky, you can trust GOD to get you through that rough patch. GOD’S Presence enables you to face each day with confidence.”

Scripture

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” JOHN 10 : 14 – 15

The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth. ISAIAH 26 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you that no matter what I face, when I keep my eyes fixed on you, before I know it, the obstacle that once looked so insurmountable is behind me, and I hardly know how I passed through it. Thank you for your goodness Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 31 – 32

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Romans‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 31 – 32‬ NLT

Are you waiting on some type of favor? Advancement? But it seems like it just won’t happen? This scripture tells us that God is always for us, that special something you are wanting may not be what God wants for you! Maybe he has something bigger and better. Today I pray that we would all wait patiently on God’s will for our lives no matter how much we want something…..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 10 : 10

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10 : 10 NKJV

What is in your heart today? Remember the day you found Jesus? Remember the joy you felt inside? What has changed? The same fire that was felt on that day we found Jesus is still living on the inside of us. The world says to suppress the name of Jesus, but the Living Word of God says to confess the name of Jesus. Today I pray that fire would ignite again and we would be bold for our faith to all …….. 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

Ephesians‬ ‭4 : 1 – 3

“Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4 : 1 – 3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Paul was such an extraordinary example of what it means to be a soldier of Christ. This scripture speaks about upholding your brothers and sisters in Christ not beating them down. Today’s prayer is that we would lift each other up over our faults and help and love one another. If Jesus forgave any and all of our sin what gives us the right to not? Be Blessed and be an encourager!

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

ANXIETY IS A RESULT OF envisioning the future without GOD. – LUKE 12 : 22 – 26, EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21

https://youtu.be/NWD9XaDrkG8

“ANXIETY IS A RESULT OF envisioning the future without GOD. So the best defense against worry is staying in communication with GOD. When you turn your thoughts toward GOD, you can think much more positively. Remember to listen, as well as to speak, making your thoughts a dialogue with The LORD. If you must consider upcoming events, follow these rules: 1) Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when you wander there. 2) Remember the promise of The LORD’S continual Presence; include GOD in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline does not come easily, because you are accustomed to being god of your fantasies. However, the reality of GOD’S Presence with you, now and forevermore, outshines any fantasy you could ever imagine.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 22 – 26

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, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, when I feel anxious, remind me I’m envisioning the future without you. You promise your continual presence with me therefore any gaps in knowledge, wisdom, or ability I have, you’ll supply what I need. Thank you Lord. With you, I have all I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭2 : 4 – 6

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” ‭ ‭Ephesians‬ ‭2 : 4 – 6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Still think you’re not worthy? Still think you are not good enough? This scripture tells us that even though we were not worthy of God’s grace it was freely given to us because of God’s love for us. Grace is not a license to sin, it’s a reason not to. Today’s prayer is that we would live the life that God ordained for each one of us, when you miss the mark REPENT!!! Don’t regress! Truly let the grace of God work in your life ……. Be Blessed & remember to Bless someone else

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

LOOK TO GOD CONTINUALLY for help, comfort, and companionship. – PSALM 34 : 4 – 6, PSALM 105 : 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 3 – 4

https://youtu.be/2HA0xoWAH2E

“LOOK TO GOD CONTINUALLY for help, comfort, and companionship. Because GOD is always by your side, the briefest glance can connect you with The LORD. When you look to GOD for help, it flows freely from HIS Presence. This recognition of your need for GOD, in small matters as well as in large ones, keeps you spiritually alive. When you need comfort, The LORD loves to enfold you in HIS arms. GOD enables you not only to feel comforted but also to be a channel through whom HE comforts others. Thus you are doubly blessed, because a living channel absorbs some of whatever flows through it. GOD’S constant Companionship is the pièce de résistance: the summit of salvation blessings. No matter what losses you experience in your life, no one can take away this glorious gift.”

Scripture

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. PSALM 34 : 4 – 6

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 3 – 4

Prayer

Prayer: God I’m so grateful for your constant companionship. When I feel alone I know I never am because you are always with me, comforting me. Use me to comfort others today Lord, just as you have comforted me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119 : 143‬

“As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119 : 143‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Life is full of stress! There are so many different things that can bring stress upon us. The main cause of stress is distrust, if you as a Christian are putting your trust in Jesus there should be no stress, if your trust is in things of the world well there you have it. Today’s prayer is that we would all trust in the Lord with our everything, health, finances, daily life. Live your life as Jesus instructed us to live and trust in him……..Be Blessed
