APPROACH EACH NEW DAY with desire to find GOD. – COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3, ISAIAH 33 : 6 (https://youtu.be/-0fUK6eXHOE)

“APPROACH EACH NEW DAY with desire to find GOD. Before you get out of bed, GOD has already been working to prepare the path that will get you through this day. There are hidden treasures strategically placed along the way. Some of the treasures are trials, designed to shake you free from earth-shackles. Others are blessings that reveal GOD’S Presence: sunshine, flowers, birds, friendships, answered prayer. GOD has NOT abandoned this sin-wracked world; GOD is still richly present in it. Search for deep treasure as you go through this day. You will find GOD all along the way.”

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure. ISAIAH 33 : 6

Prayer: Lord help me to approach this new day with a desire to find you and your hidden treasures along the way. I know some are trials, meant to teach me to depend on you more. Freedom in the world means independence, but Godly freedom, true freedom, means dependence on you, God more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:4-5

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:4-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As Christians we know what is in line with God’s word, we know the difference between wrong and right in God’s eyes. Are we rewriting his words to fit our needs? The Bible gives us instruction on how to be the example of Christ, although temptation is all around from the world’s standard our spirit knows how to combat that temptation. Today’s prayer is that we would be so strong in God’s word that there wouldn’t be a chance to twist it in any way………Be Blessed and Pray hard

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

Matthew‬ ‭5:11-12‬

”’Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:11-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Whether you know it or not this happens daily to us as Christians. Have you ever noticed how people tend to turn into super heros of insult when they know you’re a Christian? That’s because they know you won’t react in a threatening way, well you shouldn’t, that’s the part “Blessed are you”. The fact that we can show love in the toughest times is a true blessing. Today’s prayer is that we would remember our blessings when the opportunity comes to blast someone for treating you bad or talking about you, respond “Jesus loves you and so do I”……….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. – 1 JOHN 1 : 7, ISAIAH 61 : 10, JOHN 8 : 12

WHEN YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. – 1 JOHN 1 : 7, ISAIAH 61 : 10, JOHN 8 : 12 (https://youtu.be/sjYwYkIP0SE)

“WHEN YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. Confess your wrongdoing, which GOD knows all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of The LORD’S Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that The LORD has clothed you in HIS righteousness, so nothing can separate you from GOD. 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 GOD is the Light of the world, and GOD’S illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to GOD and let HIS Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.”

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 : 12

Prayer: Lord thank you that when I stumble and fall you are always there to pick me up. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Help me to extend that same mercy and grace to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James 1:19 – 20

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19 – 20 NKJV

Boy is this one needed in all of our lives, have you heard the saying “God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason”? I believe this is the scripture it is based on. Everyone wants to jump to conclusions or assume the worst of every situation, shoot first then ask questions, this scripture is telling us to really process a situation before we come to our decision, and then when we come to that conclusion approach it in a Godly manner. Today I would pray that we all would put this approach into our lives and that the spirit of God would help us to obtain it………be blessed

“GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW how safe and secure you are in HIS Presence. – 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12, PSALM 29 : 11

https://youtu.be/BK1_7e8VKK8

"GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW how safe and secure you are in HIS Presence. – 1 COR 13:12, PSA 29:11 (https://youtu.be/BK1_7e8VKK8)

“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 HIM through eyes of faith. GOD will walk with you till the end of time, and onward into eternity. Although The LORD’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 The LORD’S Presence that Peace displaces negative feelings. Practice the discipline of walking consciously with GOD through each day.”

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: Lord thank you that I am safe and secure in your presence. And you are always with me. No matter how I feel, or what’s going on in my life, I can tap into your peace and joy anytime. Thank you for your goodness and mercy. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:3-5

“If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:3-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

How’s your Jesus shining? Are you showing the ways of the Lord or the ways of the world?. In the world today we measure ourselves by the other person, when in actuality we should always measure ourselves on how much Jesus we are showing. Today’s prayer is that we would never compare ourselves to one another, but only measure ourselves to 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

COME TO GOD with your plans held in suspension. – JOHN 4 : 24, ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

https://youtu.be/3D9LxjKmYOw

COME TO GOD with your plans held in suspension. – JOHN 4 : 24, ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9 (https://youtu.be/3D9LxjKmYOw)

“COME TO GOD with your plans held in suspension. Worship GOD in spirit and in truth, allowing GOD’S Glory to permeate your entire being. Trust The LORD enough to let HIM guide you through this day, accomplishing HIS purposes in HIS timing. Subordinate your myriad plans to GOD’S Master Plan. GOD is sovereign over every aspect of your life! The challenge continually before you is to trust GOD and search for HIS way through each day. Do not blindly follow your habitual route, or you will miss what The LORD has prepared for you. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’S ways higher than your ways and GOD’S thoughts than your thoughts.”

“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” JOHN 4 : 24

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord the world teaches it’s all about me and what I feel and desire, but you remind me my life is not my own. I am yours and you are mine. Your way is always so much better than mine. Help me to search for your way and your guidance today through each decision I make. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

AS YOU SIT QUIETLY in GOD’S Presence, remember that The LORD is a God of abundance – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

https://youtu.be/6RLt_Aeyi8k

AS YOU SIT QUIETLY in GOD'S Presence, remember that GOD is a God of abundance – PHI 4:19, 2 COR 5:7 (https://youtu.be/6RLt_Aeyi8k)

“AS YOU SIT QUIETLY in GOD’S Presence, remember that The LORD is a God of abundance. GOD will never run out of resources; HIS capacity to bless you is unlimited. You live in a world of supply and demand, where necessary things are often scarce. Even if you personally have enough, you see poverty in the world around you. It is impossible for you to comprehend the lavishness of GOD’S provisions: the fullness of GOD’S glorious riches. Through spending time in The LORD’S Presence, you gain glimpses of GOD’S overflowing vastness. These glimpses are tiny foretastes of what you will experience eternally in heaven. Even now you have access to as much of GOD as you have faith to receive. Rejoice in GOD’S abundance—living by faith, not by sight.”

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Prayer: Lord thank you for your abundance you so generously and freely give. When I spend time in your presence, I gain glimpses of your majesty. Thank you for allowing me to have as much access to you as I want. You are amazing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

This scripture has always had a place in my heart, do you hunger for righteousness? Do you thirst for righteousness? The world will take your focus off of being righteous, it’s portrayed as being weak by the world’s standard. As Christians we should strive to be more like Jesus every day. Today’s prayer is that we would all strive to be more like Jesus everyday! Jesus won over sinners with his love and forgiveness there’s a start……..Be Blessed and Love someone today to Jesus

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
