James 1:5 – 6

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5 – 6 NKJV

Wisdom seems to be a thing of the past, in reality wisdom is what we all should be praying for. When God told Solomon he could have whatever he wanted he asked for wisdom to rule his people and it was given to him liberally. As Solomon did what he did, he knew what to do by the direction of The Lord and he was blessed abundantly, but then he thought he could do it all on his own will and that was destruction. Today pray for God’s wisdom to handle each trial that comes your way, he is waiting with all the solutions……..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. – JOHN 8 : 36, PROVERBS 19 : 21, JOHN 10 : 27

https://youtu.be/B3ihfpeI_wA

“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 HIS Holy Spirit. Walk with GOD in holy trust, responding to The LORD’S 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!”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord train me to set my mind on you more and more, tuning out distractions by the help of your Holy Spirit. Thank you for dying to set me free. Help me to live like I am free indeed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. ‭Psalm ‭100‬:‭5‬ NLT

People and circumstances will hurt you in life, but God’s love is everlasting. Today I pray that we would all see through the hurts in life and stand on God’s promise, his love for us is everlasting…..Be Blessed

Romans‬ ‭12:21‬

“Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:21‬

Anger, Wrath, Malice all of the Devil do you harbor any of these? This scripture says “Don’t let evil conquer you” is it? Today’s prayer is that we all would shun any evil in our lives, any hate, any anger, any un-forgiveness and just forgive and just love……. 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

1 John‬ ‭2:28

“And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Imagine on the day of the Lord’s return you think about all you could have done. Think about the calling God put on your life that you ignored because the enemy made you feel unworthy. What about all the time you could have spent with him in fellowship but chose other earthly things, the reality of this is staggering. Today’s prayer is that we would stay in constant fellowship with the Lord, pray for the faith to step out into your calling and know that on that day the Lord will say “enter my faithful servant you have made me proud” 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

GOD LOVES YOU regardless of how well you are performing. – JEREMIAH 31 : 3, ISAIAH 61 : 10, PSALM 31 : 16, PSALM 107 : 8

https://youtu.be/QefoAFtrtnQ

“GOD LOVES YOU regardless of how well you are performing. Sometimes you feel uneasy, wondering if you are doing enough to be worthy of GOD’S Love. No matter how exemplary your behavior, the answer to that question will always be no. Your performance and GOD’S Love are totally different issues, which you need to sort out. The LORD loves you with an everlasting Love that flows out from eternity without limits or conditions. The LORD have clothed you in HIS robe of righteousness, and this is an eternal transaction: Nothing and no one can reverse it. Therefore, your accomplishment as a Christian has no bearing on GOD’S Love for you. Even your ability to assess how well you are doing on a given day is flawed. Your limited human perspective and the condition of your body, with its mercurial variations, distort your evaluations. Bring your performance anxiety to The LORD, and receive in its place HIS unfailing Love. Try to stay conscious of GOD’S loving Presence with you in all that you do, and HE will direct your steps.”

Scripture

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10

Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. PSALM 31 : 16

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, PSALM 107 : 8

Personal Note:

The greatest “earthly” love I experienced is that of child > parent growing up, love of my wife and parent > child for my own children. While this love feels infinite it pales in comparison to the Love that GOD has for us. Just as I’ll always love my children no matter what happens GOD loves us even greater and more infinitely than we can love. This is very hard to comprehend.

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that your love is completely independent of how well or not so well I perform. Thank you for your love without limits or conditions. Help me to love others as you love me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6-8‬

And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. ‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6-8‬ NLT

Have you ever set back and really thought about God’s grace? Is God’s grace just a once and awhile thought? Are you living to please God or the world ? I know that sounds harsh or brings conviction but it’s reality. Today I pray that we all would humble ourselves in God’s grace, take good care of your loved ones and take better care of your relationship with Jesus………

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

TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. – ISAIAH 12 : 2, PSALM 61 : 2 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18

https://youtu.be/YH-lWEWoJT4

“TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. Many things feel out of control. Your routines are not running smoothly. You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let GOD lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Take refuge in the shelter of GOD’S wings, where you are absolutely secure. When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip The LORD’S hand tightly and look for growth opportunities. Instead of bemoaning the loss of your comfort, accept the challenge of something new. GOD leads you on from glory to glory, making you fit for HIS kingdom. Say yes to the ways GOD works in your life. Trust GOD, and don’t be afraid.”

Scripture

“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

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. PSALM 61 : 2 – 4

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me when things feel unpredictable and uncomfortable, help me to look for growth opportunities and accept the challenge of something new. You are leading me and molding me to look more and more like Jesus. I trust you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭9:13

“But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you think you’re not good enough? Do you think you have to get your act cleaned up before you can call upon the Lord? Jesus tells us he did not call for the righteous but the sinners to repent. Most of the Christians I know (including myself) could not have been further from God when they met him and most of them are the most on fire believers I know. Today’s prayer is that we would witness our testimony to those who do not believe and let them know Jesus is waiting with arms wide open no matter where they are…….Be Blessed

PEACE IS GOD’S CONTINUAL GIFT TO YOU. – EXODUS 16 : 15 – 20, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 19, HEBREWS 4 : 16

https://youtu.be/W4VjsBl3snk

“PEACE IS GOD’S CONTINUAL GIFT TO YOU. It flows abundantly from GOD’S throne of grace. Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with GOD’S Peace. The day-by-day collecting of manna kept The LORD’S people aware of their dependence on HIM. Similarly, GOD gives you sufficient Peace for the present, when you come to HIM by prayer and petition with thanksgiving. If GOD gave you permanent Peace, independent of HIS Presence, you might fall into the trap of self-sufficiency. May that never be! GOD has designed you to need HIM moment by moment. As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of GOD’S abundant sufficiency. The LORD can meet every one of your needs without draining HIS resources at all. Approach GOD’S throne of grace with bold confidence, receiving GOD’S Peace with a thankful heart.”

Scripture

Moses said to them, “It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat. This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. Take an omer for each person you have in your tent.’” The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. . . . Each one gathered as much as he needed. Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.” However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them. EXODUS 16 : 15 – 20

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. . . . And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 19

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. HEBREWS 4 : 16

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your abundant mercy, grace, and love you shower on me each day. Give me your peace for today, Lord. Holy Spirit please fill me with the fruits of the Spirit so much so that they overflow onto those around me today and they see You. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
