1Thessalonians‬ ‭5:2‬

“For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.” ‭‭1Thessalonians‬ ‭5:2‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Are you ready? Is your family ready? This scripture speaks about the coming day of the Lord and how important it is to be ready. The importance people have put on protecting their home, car, possessions seems more important than their eternal life!!! When was the last time you heard someone say ” I’m good I will leave my car running at the mall with a note that says take me” that’s the same thing when someone says I’m good, I’m a good person, I don’t need that religion. Today’s prayer is that not only would we be ready but everyone that we can possibly prepare…….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’S PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. – MATTHEW 13 : 46, JAMES 1 : 2, JOHN 16 : 33

“GOD’S PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. It is an exquisitely costly gift, both for the Giver and the receiver. JESUS CHRIST, The LORD purchased this Peace for you with HIS blood. You receive this gift by trusting The LORD in the midst of life’s storms. If you have the world’s peace—everything going your way—you don’t seek GOD’S unfathomable Peace. Thank The LORD when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world. Expect them each day. Rejoice in the face of hardship, for The LORD has overcome the world.”

Scripture

. . . who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. MATTHEW 13 : 46 (NKJV)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Lord cover me with your peace, the pearl you bought with your very life for me. I praise you and thank you in the trials of life because they remind me to rely on you more, less on myself. I hand my trials to you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬ NIV

This scripture lays out a great foundation to live by. To be joyful in hope is to look to our end results in Jesus, to be patient in affliction is to know that without a doubt Jesus will show up to correct the situation, and to be faithful in prayer means to always have an open line of communication with Jesus. Today I pray that we would all use this scripture as a foundation to live our lives by…….Be Blessed

IT’S ALRIGHT TO BE HUMAN. – DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, 1 PETER 3 : 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

“IT’S ALRIGHT TO BE HUMAN. When your mind wanders while you are praying, don’t be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to GOD. Share a secret smile with The LORD, knowing that HE understands. Rejoice in GOD’S Love for you, which has no limits or conditions. Whisper The LORD’S Name in loving contentment, assured that HE will never leave you or forsake you. Intersperse these peaceful interludes abundantly throughout your day. This practice will enable you to attain a quiet and gentle spirit, which is pleasing to GOD. As you live in close contact with GOD, the Light of HIS Presence filters through you to bless others. Your weakness and woundedness are the openings through which the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines forth. The LORD’s strength and power show themselves most effectively in your weakness.”

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 PETER 3 : 4

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7

But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

Prayer: Pitch a tent over and dwell upon me Lord. Your grace is enough for me. Even when problems arise, I will rely on your power and your strength through Christ in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalms 27:1 NKJV

It’s easy to worry or be afraid of certain situations but the Word says ” whom shall we fear”. Fear is not from God, faith and trust are. Today’s prayer is when a situation arises, remember this Psalm and trust in God’s love and protection for you……..Be Blessed

STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. – PSALM 52 : 8, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

“STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings GOD has hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that GOD is sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust GOD in all situations. Don’t waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment—accepting things exactly as they are— and search for GOD’S way in the midst of those circumstances. Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with The LORD. If you are trusting in GOD consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in The LORD with all your heart and mind.”

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. PSALM 52 : 8

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you in more and more areas of my life. Starting at the present moment, accepting things exactly as they are, and searching for your way in the midst of my circumstance. I trust you Jesus. In Jesus’ name. 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

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1‬

“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1‬ ‭NASB‬‬

You see this at work more than ever today! The media, school, work place, discourage you being a Christian, it’s all about you being your own person. The church is in this state today by not preaching the living word of God!!!!! They’re teaching self, self, self. Today’s prayer is that we would never be deceived by a false doctrine!!!!! If it’s not in God’s written word then it is 100% the opinion of Man……Be Blessed

“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

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. – PSALM 27 : 8, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, JEREMIAH 29 : 13

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let GOD displace worry at the center of your being. GOD is like a supersaturated cloud, showering Peace into the pool of your mind. The LORD’S Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive HIS blessings with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify GOD by receiving HIS blessings gratefully. The LORD IS the goal of all your searching. When you seek GOD, you find HIM and are satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, GOD fades into the background of your life. The LORD is still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were alone. Actually, GOD’S Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include The LORD in all your moments. Let nothing dampen your search for The LORD.”

Scripture

When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” PSALM 27 : 8 (NKJV)

Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7 (MSG)

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: God you are the goal of all of my searching. You are the only one who can make me whole and fill me with joy and peace. You are the only one Jesus who can make me right with God. The work you did, in my place, on the cross settled it. No more striving to keep the law. It is finished. My eternity is sealed. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Amen.
