“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” Matthew 6 : 21 NLT
Where are your treasures? What is your most loved thing that you have ? Do you love it more than God? Ouch I know hit me hard also!!!! Sometimes we tend to value our possessions so much we can put them before our Heavenly Father. Today’s prayer is that we would know that all of our things are just things!!!!! Pray about everything and always have your priorities straight!!!!! 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
“LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask The LORD to think through you, live through you, love through you. GOD’S own Being is alive within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Holy Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, GOD’S streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to GOD as you listen to others.”
Scripture
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOHN 7 : 38 – 39
Prayer
Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who is God and knows everything about everything, past, present, and future – and who lives in me. Holy Spirit think through me, live through me, and love through me – help me to listen and speak what you tell me. Use me Lord to be an encouragement to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. 2 Timothy 4 : 18 NLT
Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. God’s plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve an all loving, caring, and protecting God ……. 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 IS WITH YOU. GOD IS with you. GOD IS with you. Heaven’s bells continually peal with that promise of GOD’S Presence. Some people never hear those bells because their minds are earthbound and their hearts are closed to The LORD. Others hear the bells only once or twice in their lifetimes, in rare moments of seeking GOD above all else. The LORD’S desire is that HIS “sheep” hear HIS voice continually, for GOD is the ever-present Shepherd. Quietness is the classroom where you learn to hear GOD’S voice. Beginners need a quiet place in order to still their minds. As you advance in this discipline, you gradually learn to carry the stillness with you wherever you go. When you step back into the mainstream of life, strain to hear those glorious bells: GOD is with you. GOD is with you. GOD is with you.”
Scripture
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. JEREMIAH 29 : 12 – 13
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. . . . “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.” JOHN 10 : 14, 27 – 28
Prayer
Prayer: God help me to set my mind on eternity and listen for your voice more often. Help me to prioritize finding a quiet place each day to still my mind and feel your presence with me, filling me with peace and joy that surpasses understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3 : 19 NLT
Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world ….. today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials …….. 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
“LINGER IN GOD’S PRESENCE A WHILE. Rein in your impulses to plunge into the day’s activities. Beginning your day alone with GOD is essential preparation for success. A great athlete takes time to prepare himself mentally for the feat ahead of him before he moves a muscle. Similarly, your time of being still in The LORD’S Presence equips you for the day ahead of you. Only GOD knows what will happen to you on this day. GOD has arranged the events you will encounter as you go along your way. If you are not adequately equipped for the journey, you will grow weary and lose heart. Relax with GOD while The LORD readies you for action.”
Scripture
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. HEBREWS 12 : 3
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to linger in your presence for a while. Reining in my impulse to plunge into my to do list. Help me to begin my day alone with you, letting you fill me with your peace and joy and strength to do your will today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I will comfort you there in Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child.” When you see these things, your heart will rejoice. You will flourish like the grass! Everyone will see the Lord’s hand of blessing on his servants— and his anger against his enemies.” Isaiah 66 : 13 - 14 NLT
A Mother’s love is something you will never replace!!! A Mother’s love is unconditional much like Jesus’s love for us!!!! No matter what problem or trouble we get in they’re always there to comfort. Today’s prayer is that we would honor our Mothers with all we have and always remember they love us unconditionally. ….. 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
“DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on GOD. Ultimately, it is GOD’S view of you that counts. As you concentrate on relating to GOD, remember that The LORD has clothed you in HIS righteousness and holiness. The LORD sees you attired in these radiant garments, which The LORD, JESUS CHRIST bought for you with HIS blood. This also is not fair; it is a pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that GOD’S ways with you are much better than fair. GOD’S ways are Peace and Love, which The LORD has poured out into your heart by HIS Holy Spirit.”
Scripture
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. COLOSSIANS 3 : 13
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
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. EPHESIANS 1 : 7 – 8
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. ROMANS 5 : 5
Prayer
Prayer: Lord when I am treated unfairly, help me to see it as an opportunity to grow in grace. And to remember how unfair you were treated on the cross. You did that for me. Thank you Jesus. I am eternally grateful. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
“This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” Romans 13 : 11 NLT
When you first became a Christian remember that feeling of satisfaction you had? That completeness that you felt inside? The feeling that Jesus was right there with you every step of the way? Do you still feel that feeling? If you don’t it’s time to wake up and realize that nothing has changed! You have changed, the world events have changed, but Jesus never changes!!! He is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would all re embrace that feeling we first had as believers, Jesus is there and he will always be there through any trial or tribulation, wake up that lion that lives on your inside…….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
“THE LORD IS GOD WITH YOU, for all time and throughout eternity. Don’t let the familiarity of that concept numb its impact on your consciousness. The LORD’S perpetual Presence with you can be a continual source of Joy, springing up and flowing out in streams of abundant Life. Let your mind reverberate with meanings of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S Names: Jesus—the Lord saves, and Emmanuel—God with us. Strive to remain conscious of GOD’S Presence even in your busiest moments. Talk with CHRIST The LORD about whatever delights you, whatever upsets you, whatever is on your mind. These tiny steps of daily discipline, taken one after the other, will keep you close to GOD on the path of Life.”
Scripture
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” . . . “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 21, 23
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” ACTS 2 : 28
Prayer
Prayer: God help me never to let the familiarity of Jesus’ sacrifice numb its impact. We love you because you first loved us. You proved it by sending your one and only son to die for my sins, to pay a debt I could never repay, so I could live with you here and now and for eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
