REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19, 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27

REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. (https://youtu.be/Nbgp0c4oNsM)

“REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world’s most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in GOD’S Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons . . . anywhere. Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with GOD. Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but The LORD will help you with them. If you make problem-solving secondary to the goal of living close to GOD, you can find Joy even in your most difficult days.”

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place. 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27

Prayer: Lord help me to make living close to you my #1 priority and see how many problems resolve themselves. The rest I know you will be with me through the valley. Thank you for your ever present help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭23:11

“The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭23:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you feel sometimes like your assignment is fulfilled? Nope!!!! I believe our assignment is life long. Paul knew that going to Rome would be his final assignment of the Lord but was obedient to the end. Opposition awaits us as believers but the gospel is life changing in places that we would least expect. Today’s prayer is that we against our fears would be obedient to our assignments and pray up before heading into them……..Be Blessed

Although GOD is unimaginably vast, HE chooses to dwell within you, permeating you with HIS Presence. – JOHN 14 : 16 – 17, JOHN 16 : 7, ZECHARIAH 4 : 6

Although GOD is unimaginably vast, HE chooses to dwell within you, permeating you with HIS Presence. (https://youtu.be/fpbMv3ya9co)

“GOD IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although GOD is unimaginably vast, HE chooses to dwell within you, permeating you with HIS Presence. Only in the spirit realm could someone so infinitely great live within someone so very small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of GOD’S Holy Spirit within you! Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask. When the path before you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on GOD. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to help you as you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious source of strength within you.”

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” JOHN 14 : 16 – 17 (NKJV)

“But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” JOHN 16 : 7

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.” ZECHARIAH 4 : 6

Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who lives within me. He is my helper, guide, my comforter and counselor. Who am I that God would live in me? Help me to rely on You more often this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-13

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-13‬ ‭

Forgiveness is not very common this day and age ! Life is so short and we are not promised tomorrow, so why hold the grudge? Today’s prayer is we would all live a life full of forgiveness, kindness, humility and love……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

Job‬ ‭19‬:‭25

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. Job‬ ‭19‬:‭25‬ NLT

We have so many things that we hope for, that we dream about, that we pray for, but the reality is all of those things are temporary. The promise that we have of our Lord’s return is eternal….. Today I pray that we all will not lose sight of the return of Jesus, nice things are great but nothing compared to the eternal promise of Heaven…..Be Blessed & Be A Blessing

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 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:23‬

Two choices choose life or death!! This scripture is clear, to live a life in sin that will surely lead you to death or to live a life with God and you will have eternal life. Today’s prayer is that we would all live a life that is pleasing to 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

WORSHIP GOD ONLY. – 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16, ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9, REVELATION 2 : 4, MATTHEW 11 : 28

https://youtu.be/jp4Rc1pbmOY

“WORSHIP GOD ONLY. GOD is King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. GOD is taking care of you! The LORD is not only committed to caring for you, but HE is also absolutely capable of doing so. Rest in GOD, weary one, for this is a form of worship. Though self-flagellation has gone out of style, many of GOD’S children drive themselves like racehorses. They whip themselves into action, ignoring how exhausted they are. They forget that The LORD is sovereign and that HIS ways are higher than theirs. Underneath their driven service, they may secretly resent GOD as a harsh taskmaster. Their worship of GOD is lukewarm, because HE is no longer their First Love. GOD’S invitation never changes: Come to GOD, all you who are weary, and HE will give you rest. Worship GOD by resting peacefully in HIS Presence.”

. . . which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “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

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” MATTHEW 11 : 28

Prayer: God, teach me to worship you by resting in you. Help me to go about my day the way Jesus did – intentional yet unhurried. And patient when detours come. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4:7-8

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

All that we do in life should be unto the Lord and not to ourselves. I believe that God wants us to live a joyful and prosperous life, but giving all the glory to him. Today’s prayer is that we would all do everything unto the Lord so he receives all the glory and we receive the crowns……..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 PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you. – MATTHEW 6 : 34, JOHN 10 : 10, JAMES 4 : 13 – 15

https://youtu.be/7Y-qY0IEPDc

GOD IS PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you. (https://youtu.be/7Y-qY0IEPDc)

“GOD IS PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you. That is the most important fact of your existence. GOD is not limited by time or space; GOD’S Presence with you is a forever-promise. You need not fear the future, for GOD is already there. When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find The LORD awaiting you in heaven. Your future is in GOD’S hands; The LORD releases it to you day by day, moment by moment. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. GOD wants you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do. Don’t be distracted by future concerns. Leave them to GOD! Each day of life is a glorious gift, but so few people know how to live within the confines of today. Much of their energy for abundant living spills over the timeline into tomorrow’s worries or past regrets. Their remaining energy is sufficient only for limping through the day, not for living it to the full. GOD is training you to keep your focus on HIS Presence in the present. This is how to receive abundant Life, which flows freely from GOD’S throne of grace.”

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” JOHN 10 : 10

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” JAMES 4 : 13 – 15

Prayer: Lord help me to live this day abundantly, looking for your blessings throughout the day like finding hidden treasure. Help me to live in the present and not worry about the past or the future, and leave them in your capable hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14‬ NIV

There are so many that have chosen the broad gate, in their mind it is easier living a life of quiet freedom, no rules, being their own person. Jesus speaks of that road leading to destruction. Today’s prayer is that all would understand that the narrow road gives you the true meaning of freedom! The total lack of condemnation. The road to heaven isn’t the easy road, there will be tests and trials but we have the ultimate tour guide when we choose this path……..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
