‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.” Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had their eyes fixed on him, as he said to them, “This passage of scripture has come true today, as you heard it being read.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬ ‭GNT‬‬

This bit of scripture speaks right to my heart, Jesus stood in the synagogue and outright told them all he was the Messiah. The ones who believed followed, but the others called him a blasphemer. In the world today times have not changed, there are those who follow, and those who say Jesus is a fairy-tale. Today’s prayer is that we would witness to the world that Jesus is alive!!!! He is still healing, He is still setting the captive free, He is still the Messiah and will reign forever……..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

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. These were the last words JESUS CHRIST The LORD spoke before ascending into heaven. – MATTHEW 28 : 20, PSALM 139 : 1 – 4

https://youtu.be/Yv-fOeyzMmw

“I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. These were the last words JESUS CHRIST The LORD spoke before ascending into heaven. GOD continues to proclaim this promise to all who will listen. People respond to GOD’S continual Presence in various ways. Most Christians accept this teaching as truth but ignore it in their daily living. Some ill-taught or wounded believers fear (and may even resent) The LORD’S awareness of all they do, say, and think. A few people center their lives around this glorious promise and find themselves blessed beyond all expectations. When GOD’S Presence is the focal point of your consciousness, all the pieces of your life fall into place. As you gaze at The LORD through the eyes of your heart, you can see the world around you from HIS perspective. The fact that GOD is with you makes every moment of your life meaningful. “

. . .and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

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

Prayer: God help me not only to accept your promise of always being with me as truth but also to let it sink deep down in my heart, making you the focal point of my consciousness throughout the day. Help me to see the world through your eyes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭25:34-40

““Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’'” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:34-40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture is so powerful!!! Jesus speaks of helping those in need, beings that he considers all creation his. When was the last time you lent a helping hand to a complete stranger? When was the last time you made a selfless act of kindness? Today’s prayer is that we would see Jesus in all we come across and treat them as if they were the most special person on earth…….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

TRUST IS A GOLDEN PATHWAY TO HEAVEN. – JOHN 14 : 1 – 2, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

https://youtu.be/N2TJDnup7HI

“TRUST IS A GOLDEN PATHWAY TO HEAVEN. When you walk on this path, you live above your circumstances. GOD’S glorious Light shines more brightly on those who follow this path of Life. Dare to walk on the high road with GOD, for it is the most direct route to heaven. The low road is circuitous: twisting and turning in agonizing knots. There the air hangs heavy, and dark, ominous clouds predominate. Relying on your own understanding will weigh you down. Trust in GOD absolutely, and HE will make your path straight.”

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” JOHN 14 : 1 – 2

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer: God help me to trust You no matter what and accept that I don’t see all you see. There’s always a bigger picture. Thank you for preparing a place for me at your table in Heaven. I can’t wait to be there with you face to face. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭18:1-2

“I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:1-2‬ ‭

When you find yourself in any struggle, where do you turn to? Where do you find your peace? This Psalm lays it out perfectly!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would all understand the depth of God’s love for us and the hedge of protection he has waiting for us……..Be Blessed

GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. – JOHN 16 : 33, PSALM 112 : 4, 7

https://youtu.be/GfLcZonaQkU

“GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As JESUS CHRIST told HIS disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of a problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking GOD: the Perfect One. It is possible to enjoy GOD and glorify HIM in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, GOD’S Light shines most brightly through believers who trust HIM in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of GOD’S indwelling Holy Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust GOD anyway. The LORD is much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way.”

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. . . . He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 4, 7

Prayer: Lord help me to seek you more than I seek a problem-free life. To let go of that hunger. To accept in this life there will be trouble. You care more about my response to the trouble than the trouble itself. Each trial may I rely on you more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭15‬:‭12-17

This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other. John‬ ‭15‬:‭12-17‬ NLT

Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Have you ever been hurt so badly by a friend that it is unforgivable? Jesus calls us friends, and tells us to love one another as he has loved us. To bear good fruit is to conduct yourself as Jesus would not only in Church on Sundays but even when no one is around….ouch that’s a hard one…… Jesus calling us friends is so amazing after all we have done in our lives!!!! Can you say (GREAT GRACE) today I pray that we would extend the same love that Jesus did, forgive someone that hurt you and live in the wonderful Grace of God…….Be Blessed

LET GOD’S LOVE ENFOLD YOU in the radiance of HIS Glory. – HEBREWS 13 : 15, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18, PSALM 73 : 23 – 24

https://youtu.be/-Pdu7SP6sjE

“LET GOD’S LOVE ENFOLD YOU in the radiance of HIS Glory. Sit still in the Light of GOD’S Presence, and receive HIS Peace. These quiet moments with The LORD transcend time, accomplishing far more than you can imagine. Bring GOD the sacrifice of your time, and watch to see how abundantly GOD blesses you and your loved ones. Through the intimacy of your relationship, you are being transformed from the inside out. As you keep your focus on The LORD, HE forms you into the one HE desires you to be. Your part is to yield to GOD’S creative work in you, neither resisting it nor trying to speed it up. Enjoy the tempo of a God-breathed life by letting GOD set the pace. Hold The LORD’S hand in childlike trust, and the way before you will open up step by step.”

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18

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 help me to sit still in your presence and receive your peace and so much more. My mind can’t fathom all the benefits that quality time spent with you involves. Thank you for being an intimate God who knows me better than I know myself, who lives in me, and who is always working things together for my good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭24‬

This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭24‬ NLT

Good morning, that is a standard greeting right? Well it is a good morning no matter what the situation is. Look around at all the great things there are, sometimes we have to look through the ugly to get to the beauty. Today’s prayer is that we look at all the great things God has done for us, not the one or two problems that may be present…….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’S PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. – MATTHEW 13 : 46, JAMES 1 : 2, JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/XWUetPY7K78

“GOD’S PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. It is an exquisitely costly gift, both for the Giver and the receiver. JESUS CHRIST, The LORD purchased this Peace for you with HIS blood. You receive this gift by trusting The LORD in the midst of life’s storms. If you have the world’s peace—everything going your way—you don’t seek GOD’S unfathomable Peace. Thank The LORD when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world. Expect them each day. Rejoice in the face of hardship, for The LORD has overcome the world.”

. . . who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. MATTHEW 13 : 46 (NKJV)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer: Lord thank you when I spend time in your presence you fill me with your peace. It is not a peace I can get anywhere else. And without it, I fumble through the adversities of the day. But oh with it, I can rise above any circumstance and have your perfect peace . In Jesus’ name. Amen.
