GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. – JOHN 15 : 13 – 15, ISAIAH 61 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

https://youtu.be/1_SFx5ieFrs

“GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with GOD through your life. Together you will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with The LORD. GOD can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. THe LORD can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like GOD! The friendship GOD offers you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in The LORD’S Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. GOD has equipped you to stay conscious of HIM while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.”

Scripture

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

. . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ISAIAH 61 : 3

. . . sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for walking with me hand in hand in whatever today brings; Whether trials or triumphs we will handle it together. Lead the way. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬

“However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture reminds us that no matter how bad things seem, no matter how much we don’t see it happening – God is always preparing the best for those who love him. Today’s prayer is that through the trials we would see triumph and through all we would praise the Lord of Lords….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

IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. – PSALM 32 : 7, GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9, JOHN 8 : 12

https://youtu.be/7158uUuKw-g

“IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. In the intimacy of GOD’S Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense GOD’S nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only GOD’S Presence can fill. GOD designed you for close communication with your Creator. How GOD enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with GOD in the garden of your heart, both you and The LORD are blessed. This is GOD’S way of living in the world — through you! Together with GOD you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.”

Scripture

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. PSALM 32 : 7

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

Prayers

Prayer: How I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden Lord. One day. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1Timothy‬ ‭1 : 19‬

“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1Timothy‬ ‭1 : 19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to God? I see so many Christians that let the world’s circumstances destroy their faith in The Lord. The Bible tells us that GOD is there through ALL! Not some. Today’s prayer is that we would always trust in The Lord no matter what the circumstance is………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

LET THE DEW OF GOD’S PRESENCE refresh your mind and heart. – PSALM 46 : 10, LUKE 10 : 39 – 42, 1 CORINTHIANS 14 : 33

https://youtu.be/I8BQkI4lGUI

“LET THE DEW OF GOD’S PRESENCE refresh your mind and heart. So many, many things vie for your attention in this complex world of instant communication. The world has changed enormously since GOD first gave the command to be still and know that The LORD IS God. However, this timeless truth is essential for the well-being of your soul. As dew refreshes grass and flowers during the stillness of the night, so GOD’S Presence revitalizes you as you sit quietly with HIM. A refreshed, revitalized mind is able to sort out what is important and what is not. In its natural condition, your mind easily gets stuck on trivial matters. Like the spinning wheels of a car trapped in mud, the cogs of your brain spin impotently when you focus on a trivial thing. As soon as you start communicating with GOD about the matter, your thoughts gain traction and you can move on to more important things. Communicate with The LORD continually, and GOD will put HIS thoughts into your mind.”

Scripture

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” PSALM 46 : 10

She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 39 – 42

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 1 CORINTHIANS 14 : 33 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, your presence revitalizes me as I spend time with you. Help me to communicate with you continually, allowing your thoughts to fill my mind. Use me to be a blessing to others today, for your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 6 – 8

But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 6 – 8‬ NLT

Where is your loyalty? Are you saying one thing yet doing another? James says that kind of double mind is like the unsettled oceans. Today I pray that your actions will define the person you are, let your Yes be Yes and your No be No. Let God’s grace help you……….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 a glorious adventure. – 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 – 10, ACTS 17 : 28, COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7, JOHN 14 : 20

https://youtu.be/fxRRmCz_BQk

“LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry around busily, trying to accomplish things through their own strength and ability. Some succeed enormously; others fail miserably. But both groups miss what life is meant to be: living and working in collaboration with GOD. When you depend on The LORD continually, your whole perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around, while others see only natural occurrences and “coincidences.” You begin each day with joyful expectation, watching to see what GOD will do. You accept weakness as a gift from The LORD , knowing that HIS Power plugs in most readily to consecrated weakness. You keep your plans tentative, knowing that GOD’S plans are far superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in The LORD, desiring that HE lives in you. GOD in you, and you in GOD. This is the intimate adventure The LORD offers you.”

Scripture

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 – 10

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7

On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. JOHN 14 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord show me how to live in complete dependence on you – living and working in collaboration with you, the way life was intended. What an adventure you have in store when I rely on you fully. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30

“Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This parable has always ministered to me in a eye opening way. This relates to choice, The choice to believe or not believe. To live among the weeds can be a negative or a positive, if we take the opportunity to witness the Gospel it’s a positive, if we choose to let them affect us then it becomes a negative. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that God leaves the weeds until his time comes, God wants not one to Be lost but all to be saved……. Take the opportunity to witness and Be Blessed

THERE IS NO PLACE so desolate that you cannot find GOD there. – GENESIS 16 : 7 – 14

https://youtu.be/Xk98ro852qI

“THERE IS NO PLACE so desolate that you cannot find GOD there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah, into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken. But Hagar encountered GOD in that desolate place. There she addressed GOD as the Living One who sees her. Through that encounter with GOD’S Presence, she gained courage to return to her mistress. No set of circumstances could ever isolate you from The LORD’S loving Presence. Not only does GOD see you always; The LORD sees you as a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in HIS righteousness. That is why GOD takes great delight in you and rejoices over you with singing!”

Scripture

The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going? She said, I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai. The angel of the LORD said to her, Return to your mistress and submit to her. The angel of the LORD also said to her, I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has listened to your affliction. He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen. So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me. Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16 : 7 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: God, thank You for being the Living One who sees me, even in the most desolate places. Just as You found Hagar in the wilderness, I trust Your presence is always with me. Help me remember You delight in me and rejoice over me with singing, guiding me through every moment. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
