2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2‬ NLT

Is today that day? Do you have a friend or loved one that doesn’t know The Lord ? We’ll today is that day. We as Christians can not save people, but be used as a conduit for God to reach the unsaved. Our job is to witness by our actions, the love we show, and not only what we do when others are watching, but when they’re not. God has a use for each and everyone of us!!!! Ask him to show you. Today I pray that we would boldly witness to all that are unsaved and on a road to destruction and make today that day for someone……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

Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. ‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ NLT

Are you struggling with your daily walk with Jesus ? You know what type of life you are called to live but it seems that you can’t do it? Check your surroundings and the company you keep. Paul says we died with Christ and were raised with him in a new life, that means NEW not the same as it was. The devil wants to continue to remind you of your past, but Jesus only wants you to think of the now and future. Today I pray that we all would give our surroundings a self check and let the spirit of The Lord guide us…….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

Mark 7:13

making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.” Mark 7:13 NKJV

Religious traditions are a killer!!!! The word of God is so clear on all that God wants, does, has, and has done for us. Today read the word with spiritual eyes and let it speak to you, never take just one part of the word to build a tradition. Today I pray that all of us would understand just 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

EVERYTIME something thwarts your plans or desires, use that as a reminder to communicate with GOD. – COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, PHILIPPIANS 3 : 7 – 8

https://youtu.be/vcRqBuHdeyA

“EVERYTIME something thwarts your plans or desires, use that as a reminder to communicate with GOD. This practice has several benefits. The first is obvious: Talking with GOD blesses you and strengthens your relationship. Another benefit is that disappointments, instead of dragging you down, are transformed into opportunities for good. This transformation removes the sting from difficult circumstances, making it possible to be joyful in the midst of adversity. Begin by practicing this discipline in all the little disappointments of daily life. It is often these minor setbacks that draw you away from GOD’S Presence. When you re-frame setbacks as opportunities, you find that you gain much more than you have lost. It is only after much training that you can accept major losses in this positive way. But it is possible to attain the perspective of the apostle Paul, who wrote: “Compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus, I consider everything I once treasured to be as insignificant as rubbish.”

Scripture

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 7 – 8

Prayer

Prayer: God whenever something thwarts my plans, help me to use that as a reminder to talk with you about it. That way it not only removes the sting, it also keeps me at peace despite any circumstance. Thank you Jesus. My prince of peace. Amen.

Proverbs 23:12

Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12 NKJV

Have you ever heard that small voice tell you ” don’t do that” that’s the spirit trying to guide you. Have you heard something that you know is right but you do the complete opposite? This scripture is telling us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, he was given to us as a guide and protector. Today I pray we all would listen to that small voice, even if we don’t understand it…..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

GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 116 : 5 – 7, EPHESIANS 5 : 20, ISAIAH 30 : 15

https://youtu.be/ce-L4Zudy0Y

“GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. Your weakness does not repel GOD. On the contrary, it attracts GOD’S Power, which is always available to flow into a yielded heart. Do not condemn yourself for your constant need of help. Instead, come to The LORD with your gaping neediness; let the Light of GOD’S Love fill you. A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets rough. It musters the courage to thank The LORD even during hard times. Yielding yourself to The LORD’S will is ultimately an act of trust. In quietness and trust is your strength.”

Scripture

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. PSALM 116 : 5 – 7

always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to yield my heart to you and your will. I am in constant need of your help. Help me to recognize when the enemy is spewing lies and when it happens help me to quickly turn to you for rest once more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 NKJV

Do you have a thorn in your side? Or like many a whole rose bush, when trials come upon us it’s then we go to God in prayer, Paul pleaded with The Lord to remove this from him but instead God was saying where is your faith? Don’t you understand I will deliver you from your problem?. We tend to try to fix all of our problems instead of trusting that God has us in his hand, today rejoice when a problem comes your way, because The Lord’s promise is he will handle it!!!! His grace will always be sufficient ………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

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED by the difficulty of keeping your focus on GOD. – ROMANS 8 : 33 – 34, HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16

https://youtu.be/oRlnRDglqY4

“DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED by the difficulty of keeping your focus on GOD. GOD knows that your heart’s desire is to be aware of HIS Presence continually. This is a lofty goal; you aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life. Don’t let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as GOD sees you. First of all, GOD is delighted by your deep desire to walk closely with HIM through your life. GOD is pleased each time you initiate communication with HIM. In addition, The LORD notices the progress you have made since you first resolved to live in HIS Presence. When you realize that your mind has wandered away from The LORD, don’t be alarmed or surprised. You live in a world that has been rigged to distract you. Each time you plow your way through the massive distractions to communicate with GOD, you achieve a victory. Rejoice in these tiny triumphs, and they will increasingly light up your days.”

Scripture

Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. ROMANS 8 : 33 – 34

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus I am so grateful for your grace and patience. And because you lived on earth as man, you understand every temptation, distraction, and feeling I could ever have. I can come to you for every need. I rest in your loving arms. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Numbers‬ ‭6‬:‭24-26

‘May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.’ Numbers‬ ‭6‬:‭24-26‬ NLT

This blessing was prayed for the people of Israel by Aaron, and this prayer stands strong today for all of God’s children. Today I pray that you would feel the Lord’s blessings and protection, and that you would always feel him smiling upon you….Be Blessed and 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

LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. – EXODUS 3 : 5, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19, JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/A8SSkzb1zsQ

“LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask GOD to think through you, live through you, love through you. GOD’S own Being is alive within you the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Holy Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, GOD’S streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to GOD as you listen to others.”

Scripture

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who is God and knows everything about everything, past, present, and future – and who lives in me. Holy Spirit think through me, live through me, and love through me – help me to listen and speak what you tell me. Use me Lord to be an encouragement to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
