“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
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
“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.
“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.
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
“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
“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.
“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”” Matthew 17:18-20 NIV
Have you ever had a moment where you have no doubt that you can handle the situation? That you are 100% sure you can get it done? That my friends is having faith in yourself, Do you have that same faith in Jesus? Today’s prayer is that we would know that through the blood of Christ we can overcome anything!!! Any stronghold,depression, or any other thing that takes hold of you. Put all of your trust in Jesus and see that with his guidance you can overcome all things………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 WANTS YOU TO KNOW how safe and secure you are in HIS Presence. That is a fact, totally independent of your feelings. You are on your way to heaven; nothing can prevent you from reaching that destination. There you will see GOD face to Face, and your Joy will be off the charts by any earthly standards. Even now, you are never separated from GOD, though you must see GOD through eyes of faith. The LORD will walk with you till the end of time, and onward into eternity. Although GOD’S Presence is a guaranteed promise, that does not necessarily change your feelings. When you forget GOD is with you, you may experience loneliness or fear. It is through awareness of GOD’S Presence that Peace displaces negative feelings. Practice the discipline of walking consciously with The LORD through each day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12
The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11
Prayer: Jesus thank you for keeping me safe and secure in your presence. Independent of my feelings that sometimes change like the wind blows. I can only imagine and look so forward to the day I will see you face to face in Heaven. Until then, you are with me always till the end of the age. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
