NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED GOD’S intimate nearness. – LUKE 12 : 7, JOHN 1 : 12, ROMANS 10 : 13

https://youtu.be/P09PP55az1s

“NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED GOD’S intimate nearness. Marvel at the wonder of The LORD’s continual Presence with you. Even the most ardent human lover cannot be with you always. Nor can another person know the intimacies of your heart, mind, and spirit. GOD knows everything about you— even to the number of hairs on your head. You don’t need to work at revealing yourself to GOD. Many people spend a lifetime or a small fortune searching for someone who understands them. Yet GOD is freely available to all who call upon HIS Name, who open their hearts to receive The LORD as Savior. This simple act of faith is the beginning of a lifelong love story. GOD, the Lover of your soul, understands you perfectly and loves you eternally.”

Scripture

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. LUKE 12 : 7

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. JOHN 1 : 12

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” ROMANS 10 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your intimate nearness and your continual presence with me. I’m in awe that the creator of the universe wants to be in an intimate relationship with me. Thank you for speaking to me continually. Help me to listen. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭23:26‬

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you gave your heart to Jesus life truly began. The day you gave your life to the Lord you were so full of joy, so full of doing what was right in the Lord’s eyes, are you still that committed or have you changed? The Lord says he delights in following his ways and so should we. Today’s prayer is that we would all do an “once over” and check our condition. Are we more on fire or have our flames dwindled to smoke? …… Be Blessed and light that fire back up

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

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 when 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’s prayer is to 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

1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. ‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬ NLT

Are you praying for someone you love? Are you praying for a casual friend? Are you praying for someone with a different belief other than Jesus? Are you praying for the leaders of the world? All of these should be on the prayer list. Paul was in prison in Rome yet he says pray for all because there is one God for all. Today I pray that we would all put aside any thought that someone does not need prayer, don’t just pray for friends and loved ones, pray for the non believer and the nations………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 WITH YOU and all around you, encircling you in golden rays of Light. – PSALM 34 : 4 – 7, 2 PETER 1 : 16 – 17, JOHN 17 : 3, PSALM 139 : 14

https://youtu.be/piI_0e5zChk

GOD IS WITH YOU and all around you, encircling you in golden rays of Light. GOD always beholds you Face to face. Not one of your thoughts escapes The LORD’S notice. Because GOD is infinite, HE is able to love you as if you and HE are the only ones in the universe. Walk with GOD in intimate Love-steps, but do not lose sight of HIS Majesty. GOD desires to be your closest Friend, yet GOD is also your sovereign Lord. The LORD created your brain with the capacity to know HIM as Friend and Lord simultaneously. The human mind is the pinnacle of GOD’S creation, but so few use it for its primary purpose—-knowing GOD. The LORD communicates continually through HIS Holy Spirit, HIS Word, and HIS creation. Only humans are capable of receiving GOD and responding to GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

You are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made! I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. PSALM 34 : 4 – 7

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” 2 PETER 1 : 16 – 17

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. JOHN 17 : 3

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, when I spend time with you, it feels like you and I are the only ones in the universe. Thank you for the privilege of communicating with the King of the Universe. Teach me how to do so more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you ever feel like your work for the Lord is all for nothing? Do you feel like you’re not reaching anyone? This scripture tells us that all of our witness is and will reach the people. We will probably never know what impact we may have had on someone, but the Lord knows. Today’s prayer is that we would never give up telling people what Jesus has done in our life and will do in there’s ……. 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

OPEN YOUR MIND AND HEART—your entire being—to receive GOD’S Love in full measure. – EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19, HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16, JOHN 8 : 44

https://youtu.be/yxZdkv8sXuU

“OPEN YOUR MIND AND HEART—your entire being—to receive GOD’S Love in full measure. So many of GOD’S children limp through their lives starving for Love, because they haven’t learned the art of receiving. This is essentially an act of faith: believing that GOD loves you with boundless, everlasting Love. The art of receiving is also a discipline: training your mind to trust The LORD, coming close to HIM with confidence. Remember that the evil one is the father of lies. Learn to recognize his deceptive intrusions into your thoughts. One of his favorite deceptions is to undermine your confidence in GOD’S unconditional Love. Fight back against these lies! Do not let them go unchallenged. Resist the devil in The LORD’S Name, and he will slink away from you. Draw near to GOD, and HIS Presence will envelop you in Love.”

Scripture

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

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

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. JOHN 8 : 44

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to recognize the schemes of the devil by putting on the armor of God each day. You have given me every spiritual weapon needed to defeat him and he is no match for you. 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

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

RELAX IN GOD’S EVERLASTING ARMS. – DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, PSALM 27 : 13 – 14

https://youtu.be/cQ_MVssrVnI

“RELAX IN GOD’S EVERLASTING ARMS. Your weakness is an opportunity to grow strong in awareness of GOD’S Almighty Presence. When your energy fails you, do not look inward and lament the lack you find there. Look to GOD and HIS sufficiency; rejoice in GOD’s radiant riches that are abundantly available to help you. Go gently through this day, leaning on The LORD and enjoying HIS Presence. Thank The LORD for your neediness, which is building trust-bonds between you. If you look back on your journey thus far, you can see that days of extreme weakness have been some of your most precious times. Memories of these days are richly interwoven with golden strands of GOD’S intimate Presence.”

Scripture

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. PSALM 27 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when my energy is lacking help me to close my eyes and let you refuel me, even if for just a minute. Thank you for your intimate presence with me at all times. What a blessing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Jonah‬ ‭1:1-3‬

“The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.” ‭‭Jonah‬ ‭1:1-3‬ ‭NIV

Jonah ran from the Lord because he was afraid of the people of Nineveh. The people of Nineveh were wicked and evil, even though he ran he could never get away from what God called him to do. Has God called you to take his message to a particular people but you’re too afraid? To take his message to all but you don’t have the courage? Just as God gave Jonah the words and courage he will do the same for you. Today’s prayer is when you are convicted to witness to someone that is God’s Jonah call to you! Don’t be afraid God will provide the words……..Be Blessed, Be Courageous
