Daily Devotional Video 5/25/2020 – ISAIAH 41 : 10, ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17, PSALM 34 : 19

https://youtu.be/1ojTOjYU4WU

“THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH YOU, YOU ARE GOD’S child. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave GOD out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though GOD yearns to help, GOD will not violate your freedom. The LORD stands silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that GOD is with you. When you turn from your problems to GOD’S Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but GOD and you carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to “fix” everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with GOD. Together GOD and you can handle whatever this day brings.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17

A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all. PSALM 34 : 19

Prayer: Lord, when my mind leaps from problem to problem, help me to turn from my problem and focus on your presence and your promises. To turn to your word which is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path. Your word never returns void. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬

Word of the day – Pray

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. (‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬ NLT)

Are you praying for someone you love? Are you praying for a casual friend? Are you praying for someone with a different belief other than Jesus? Are you praying for the leaders of the world? All of these should be on the prayer list. Paul was in prison in Rome yet he says pray for all because there is one God for all. Today I pray that we would all put aside any thought that someone does not need prayer, don’t just pray for friends and loved ones, pray for the non believer and the nations………Be Blessed

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:5‬

“May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The bible says the condition of a mans heart defines him, what is the condition of your heart? Do you give expecting? Do you help out but complain? God knows our heart even though we can camouflage it. Today’s prayer is that we would have the heart of Jesus, all giving and giving with nothing but love never expecting anything in return…….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 ‭5‬:‭6-9‬

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. (‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭6-9‬ NLT)

Are you or someone waiting until you get your act cleaned up before you go to the lord for salvation? Do you say ” I will get right someday”? Today is that day. Jesus did not put a requirement to be perfect before you can make him Lord of your life!!! He died for ALL and all you have to do is call upon his name. Today I pray that any who are waiting to know the Lord would lay down the pride and foolishness and accept what Jesus did for us on 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

Daily Devotional Video 5/22/2020 – 1 PETER 5 : 6, JOHN 14 : 6

https://youtu.be/5CcDrO6INck

“WHEN THINGS DON’T GO as you would like, accept the situation immediately. If you indulge in feelings of regret, they can easily spill over the line into resentment. Remember that GOD is sovereign over your circumstances, and humble yourself under The LORD’S mighty hand. Rejoice in what GOD is doing in your life, even though it is beyond your understanding. The LORD is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In GOD you have everything you need, both for this life and for the life yet to come. Don’t let the impact of the world shatter your thinking or draw you away from focusing on GOD. The ultimate challenge is to keep fixing your eyes on GOD, no matter what is going on around you. When GOD is central in your thinking, you are able to view circumstances from The LORD’S perspective.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” JOHN 14 : 6

Prayer: Jesus thank you that in you I have everything I need. I surrender my circumstances to you Lord, into your much more capable hands. Help me to let go and let you fight my battles. I will put on the garment of praise while I wait expectantly to see what good you will do. Thank you for always taking care of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 5/21/2020 – ROMANS 8 : 31 – 32, MICAH 7 : 7

https://youtu.be/v-9o0QaW3x0

“GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, is with you and for you. What more could you need? When you feel some lack, it is because you are not connecting with GOD at a deep level. GOD offers abundant Life; your part is to trust The LORD, refusing to worry about anything. It is not so much adverse events that make you anxious as it is your thoughts about those events. Your mind engages in efforts to take control of a situation, to bring about the result you desire. Your thoughts close in on the problem like ravenous wolves. Determined to make things go your way, you forget that GOD is in charge of your life. The only remedy is to switch your focus from the problem to GOD’S Presence. Stop all your striving, and watch to see what GOD will do. GOD is the Lord!”

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 31 – 32

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. MICAH 7 : 7

Prayer: God I wait expectantly for what you will do next. You are my fortress and my salvation. The good Sheppard who leads me beside still waters and comforts me in my troubles. I take captive any thought that is not from you. Guard my MIND Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭7‬

The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. (‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭7‬ NLT)

The Bible is the instruction manual that God has left for us, plain and simple. Today’s prayer is that we all would meditate on the word of God and put every spoken word in play for our lives…..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

2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:10‬

“For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭

As believers all of our sins were judged at the cross! But the second judgement will come before Jesus himself. That judgement will be for what we did as believers, did you just use your salvation as fire insurance? Or did you use your salvation to witness the gospel to all you could? Today’s prayer is that we would all use what God gave us to operate in a way that brings God glory…….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

Daily Devotional Video 5/20/2020 – 1 JOHN 1 : 7, ISAIAH 61 : 10, JOHN 8 : 1

https://youtu.be/QPGnMQyA9Nw

“WHEN YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. Confess your wrongdoing, which The LORD knows all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of GOD’S Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that GOD has clothed you in HIS righteousness, so nothing can separate you from The LORD. Whenever you stumble or fall, GOD is there to help you up. Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But The LORD is the Light of the world, and HIS illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to GOD and let GOD’S Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7

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

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 : 1

Prayer: Lord thank you for your amazing grace when I mess up every time. You know my desire is to obey you but I often fall short. Help me to stay close to you today and let your light envelop me, driving out any darkness and permeating me with your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
