Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ NLT

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in the Lord our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord…..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

Isaiah ‭53 : 3‬

“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” ‭‭Isaiah ‭53 : 3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever feel unappreciated? Do you do good and still get grief from some people? Well Jesus lived this life and are we greater than him? Jesus spent his whole life doing good for others and they still put him on the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that when we do good it’s because of the love of God that is in us and when we get grief it is just part of the deal……Be Blessed

WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/ClCLgdzG24Y

“WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. GOD’S children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacle that stymies them. If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from GOD’S perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward GOD, and see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining upon you.”

Scripture

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to see problems as opportunities to get close to you so I see things from your perspective. Jesus told us in this life we will have trouble so prepare my heart for future trouble, Lord. I know when I spend time with you, I’m storing up credit to be used when trouble comes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8-9‬

I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8-9‬ NLT

Do you ever feel alone? Are you always the one making difficult decisions ? The psalmist tells us that we are never alone, that God is always beside us. In the world it is beat into our minds that we are weak if we need help, but Jesus said ” I leave you a helper, the great council, THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!! Today I pray that we all would understand that we have the ” The Great I Am” living on the inside and he is there to help us through every situation, if we will listen, will you listen? Be Blessed

MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. – HEBREWS 12 : 2, PSALM 102 : 27

https://youtu.be/Av6dZ99bzGY

“MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given point to maintain her balance, so you must keep returning your focus to GOD. Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you. The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will become dizzy and confused. Look to GOD, refreshing yourself in The LORD’S Presence, and your steps will be steady and sure.”

Scripture

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to spend time in your presence each day to refresh me, to fill me, to renew me, and transform me to look a little more like Jesus. Help me to fix my eyes on you – the one who never changes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Job‬ ‭11‬:‭13-15

“If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. ‭Job‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭13 – 15‬ NLT

Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! Surrender all to God and let his grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own…..Be Blessed

LET GOD CONTROL YOUR MIND. – GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27, ROMANS 8 : 6

https://youtu.be/tuOwaDOJGlc

LET GOD CONTROL YOUR MIND. The mind is the most restless, unruly part of mankind. Long after you have learned the discipline of holding your tongue, your thoughts defy your will and set themselves up against The LORD. Man is the pinnacle of GOD’S creation, and the human mind is wondrously complex. GOD risked all by granting you freedom to think for yourself. This is a godlike privilege, forever setting you apart from animals and robots. GOD made you in HIS image, precariously close to deity. Though The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S blood has fully redeemed you, your mind is the last bastion of rebellion. Open yourself to GOD’S radiant Presence, letting HIS Light permeate your thinking. When GOD’S Holy Spirit is controlling your mind, you are filled with Life and Peace.” 

Scripture

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit, control my mind, fill it with Godly desires and thoughts, with life and peace. What a privilege to be made in your image Lord. Help me to be a good steward of this powerful gift by surrendering my thoughts to you each day, my Lord and Savior. In your name I pray. Amen.

Romans 12 : 1 – 2

beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1 – 2 NKJV

Paul says I bring to you, by the mercies of God. Too many Christians are going to God trying to make him perform by their works, we should be thanking him for his mercy…… Today I pray that we all would renew our minds Daily, and embrace God’s mercy for us….. 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

KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD, not only for direction but also for empowerment. – PSALM 141 : 8, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/fv_QRqQvlLM

“KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD, not only for direction but also for empowerment. GOD never leads you to do something without equipping you for the task. That is why it’s so important to seek GOD’S will in everything you do. There are many burned-out Christians who think more is always better, who deem it un-spiritual to say no. In order to know The LORD’S will, you must spend time with HIM — enjoying HIS Presence. This is not an onerous task but a delightful privilege. GOD will show you the path of Life; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy; at GOD’S right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”

Scripture

But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. PSALM 141 : 8

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to know your will by spending time with you, enjoying your presence. In your presence is fullness of joy, peace, and pleasures forevermore. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James 1:5 – 6

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5 – 6 NKJV

Wisdom seems to be a thing of the past, in reality wisdom is what we all should be praying for. When God told Solomon he could have whatever he wanted he asked for wisdom to rule his people and it was given to him liberally. As Solomon did what he did, he knew what to do by the direction of The Lord and he was blessed abundantly, but then he thought he could do it all on his own will and that was destruction. Today pray for God’s wisdom to handle each trial that comes your way, he is waiting with all the solutions……..Be Blessed
