“Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.” Mark 16:20 NIV
Jesus commanded the disciples to go out into the world and preach the gospel and they did. The disciples operated under the Devine power of the Lord are you? Are you not a disciple? Are you seeing the signs, wonders, and miracles? Today’s prayer is that we would be as obedient as the disciples that walked with Jesus because we have been given the same power……Be Blessed
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
In our daily lives the world controls our fears. The word of God states just Believe!!!!! So today trust God in all things trust what the word says and see Gods love for you…….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
“NO MATTER WHAT your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in GOD’S Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure. Begin by remembering that GOD has created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that GOD is present with you whether you sense HIS Presence or not. Then, start talking with GOD about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that The LORD understands you perfectly, and The LORD knows exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with GOD, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of GOD’S marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
. . . and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure. PROVERBS 2 : 4
Prayer: Jesus thank you for always being present with me, whether I sense your presence or not. I rejoice in the fact that you know me perfectly and you know exactly what I’m experiencing because you’ve experienced it too. Infuse your joy in me today and everyday Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open: Revelation 3:7
In life we face circumstances that seem impossible, but Jesus makes a way, just like our past life of sin before Jesus has been handled. I see so many Christians living a life of condemnation and I think WHY? Jesus has atoned for our past life and nothing can change that!!! He has closed that door and no one can open it. Today I pray that all condemnation would be shed and we would live the life of victory that Jesus died for………Be Blessed

“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” Isaiah 14:12 NIV
The name Lucifer means “shinning one” bearer of light” in the traditional translation Hebrew. The name Lucifer means ” Morning Star” in the Greek translation. In the modern church the name is known as Satan or the Devil. Before the fall of Lucifer it’s said he was the most beautiful angel, so don’t you think he will entice you with things of beauty? Something that may look good and acceptable wrapped up in a devilish package? Today’s prayer is that we would be so led by the spirit of God that we would have the discernment to know the Good from evil……..In Jesus name 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
“TO LIVE in GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that The LORD can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to GOD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in GOD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time—are gifts from The LORD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything GOD takes from you, but never let go of GOD’S hand!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 23 – 24
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6
And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. Not my spouse, not my kids, not my work, not my financial security, only you. You know what is best and I trust you. If you take something away that’s dear to me I may cry out to you, but I trust you and I will praise you for your goodness regardless. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“THE LORD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in GOD alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with GOD, The LORD’S Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let The LORD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with GOD.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14
To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. COLOSSIANS 1 : 29
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
Prayer: Lord I cling to your promise that although outwardly I’m getting older and wasting away, inwardly you are strengthening me and renewing me day by day. Shine your light through me today Lord as I walk with you hand in hand. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:20-21 NKJV)
Isn’t it nice to know that God loves us so much that he trust us to be his spokesperson here on earth, he wants us to speak on his behalf not only by our words but by our actions. The non believers are waiting like a tiger in the grass to pounce, they want to see us slip up, do something that a Christian shouldn’t do so they can say ” see you’re no better than I am”. Today I pray that we would all be perfect spokespeople for The Lord , by the way we act, speak, and live our life…….. Be Blessed

“COME TO GOD with your defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with GOD’S Presence. Relax, and feel the relief of being totally open and authentic with The LORD. You have nothing to hide and nothing to disclose, because GOD knows everything about you already. You can have no other relationship like this one. Take time to savor its richness, basking in GOD’S golden Light. One of the worst consequences of the Fall is the elaborate barriers people erect between themselves and others. Facades abound in the world, even in The LORD’S Body, the church. Sometimes, church is the last place where people feel free to be themselves. They cover up with Sunday clothes and Sunday smiles. They feel relief when they leave because of the strain of false fellowship. The best antidote to this artificial atmosphere is practicing GOD’S Presence at church. Let your primary focus be communing with GOD, worshiping HIM, glorifying HIM. Then you will be able to smile at others with GOD’S Joy and love them with GOD’S Love.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 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 : 5 – 7
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Lord thank you that I can come to you with my defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with your presence. Fill me so I can love others with your love, joy, and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
