Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭9

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ NLT

Are you striving to live a life of victory? Are you doing your best to be an example of Christ ? We as Christians should all be. This scripture talks about putting all we have learned into practice, are you making a daily effort to practice? Today I pray that God would give us direction and correction when we stray off the path and help us all be the example he intends for us to be…….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

COME TO GOD for all that you need. – PSALM 95 : 2, 1 JOHN 1 : 5

https://youtu.be/q48KYoX7wMQ

“COME TO GOD for all that you need. Come into The LORD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to HIS treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that GOD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to The LORD with confident expectation. There is nothing you need that GOD cannot provide.”

Scripture

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are good, you are love, you are light in whom there is no darkness. You are constant and unchanging. Help me to come to you for all my needs – big and small. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior you became reborn, a new person! Have you embraced that new person? That great day you became the property of Jesus and that means Jesus is in you. The fact that Jesus is in you means you should strive to be more like Jesus. See how many times I used Jesus? He is the key. Today’s prayer is that we would fully understand that Jesus has been inside of our spirit since the day we decided to follow, striving to be 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

Jude‬ ‭1:25

“All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Our life as Christians was not able to happen without the Cross. That final day of the life of Jesus on this earth started eternal life for all those who call upon his name and confess him Lord and Savior. Today’s prayer is that we would extend the same grace by telling all what Jesus did that we could have eternal life, it’s a choice that he freely gives each and everyone!!! But if they don’t hear, how can they make that choice? ………….. 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

‭‭James‬ ‭1:14-15‬

“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Temptation is not the sin, what giving into the temptation produces is sin. We are tempted in many different ways daily and I believe our closeness to God determines how we react to temptation. Today’s prayer is that our relationship would be so strong with God that temptation has no impact…….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

YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. – MATTHEW 6 : 24, REVELATION 2 : 4, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/GFT500HKjHE

“YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. If GOD is truly your Master, you will desire to please HIM above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you. If GOD is the Master of your life, The LORD will also be your First Love. Your serving GOD is rooted and grounded in GOD’S vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before The LORD, the higher GOD lifts you up into an intimate relationship with HIM. The Joy of living in The LORD’S Presence outshines all other pleasures. GOD wants you to reflect HIS joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with HIM.”

Scripture

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” MATTHEW 6 : 24

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to truly understand that the joy of living in your presence outshines all other pleasures this world could offer. To focus on pleasing you above people and reflecting your light in an increasingly dark world. A world desperate for a Savior. May I reflect your bright light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭130:3-4‬

“If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭130:3-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Isn’t it nice to know that the Lord keeps no record of our sin, can you imagine if he did? We would be in a world of trouble. Today’s prayer is that we would walk in obedience to the Lord and his ways, never take advantage of the cross, but take the time daily to thank God for the cross……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

LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is the way to enjoy abundant life. – PROVERBS 29 : 25, JOHN 10 : 10

https://youtu.be/FARMzNVuYrg

“LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is the way to enjoy abundant life. You are learning to appreciate tough times, because they amplify your awareness of GOD’S Presence. Tasks that you used to dread are becoming rich opportunities to enjoy GOD’S closeness. When you feel tired, you remember that GOD is your Strength; you take pleasure in leaning on HIM. The LORD is pleased by your tendency to turn to HIM more and more frequently, especially when you are alone. When you are with other people, you often lose sight of GOD’S Presence. Your fear of displeasing people puts you in bondage to them, and they become your primary focus. When you realize this has happened, whisper The LORD’S Name; this tiny act of trust brings GOD to the forefront of your consciousness, where HE belongs. As you bask in the blessing of GOD’S nearness, HIS life can flow through you to others.”

Scripture

This is abundant life! Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. PROVERBS 29 : 25

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” JOHN 10 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to live in dependence on you so that I can enjoy an abundant life, full of peace and joy that Jesus died for me to enjoy. Help me to turn to you more and more frequently this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5

Anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ NLT

Yesterday is gone, whatever issue was the problem has left with it. This Psalm says that God’s favor lasts forever. Today I pray that we would not hold on to the problems of yesterday, and look to the joy of today……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

YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. – LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/CcwFLybC5pw

“YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. There is no randomness about your life. Here and Now comprise the coordinates of your daily life. Most people let their moments slip through their fingers, half-lived. They avoid the present by worrying about the future or longing for a better time and place. They forget that they are creatures who are subject to the limitations of time and space. They forget their Creator, who walks with them only in the present. Every moment is alive with GOD’S glorious Presence, to those whose hearts are intimately connected with HIS. As you give yourself more and more to a life of constant communion with GOD, you will find that you simply have no time for worry. Thus, you are freed to let GOD’S Holy Spirit direct your steps, enabling you to walk along the path of Peace.”

Scripture

“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 : 25 – 26

“. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit, direct my steps today, lead me down the path of peace. When I start to worry, gently remind me of your promises to take care of me and never leave me. Help me to focus on enjoying the present in the present. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
