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’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE is unfolding before you. – PSALM 63 : 2, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, JOHN 11 : 40

GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE is unfolding before you. (https://youtu.be/UsSMjs_NVJc)

“GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE is unfolding before you. Sometimes the road you are traveling seems blocked, or it opens up so painfully slowly that you must hold yourself back. Then, when time is right, the way before you suddenly clears—through no effort of your own. What you have longed for and worked for GOD presents to you freely, as pure gift. You feel awed by the ease with which GOD operates in the world, and you glimpse GOD’S Power and GOD’S Glory. Do not fear your weakness, for it is the stage on which GOD’S Power and Glory perform most brilliantly. As you persevere along the path GOD has prepared for you, depending on HIS strength to sustain you, expect to see miracles—and you will. Miracles are not always visible to the naked eye, but those who live by faith can see them clearly. Living by faith, rather than sight, enables you to see GOD’S Glory.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. PSALM 63 : 2

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” JOHN 11 : 40

Prayer: Lord help me to live anticipating your miracles. To live by faith persevering along the path you have me prepared for me and expecting you to use everything for my good. Thank you for the Advent season which is a bright star pointing to you Jesus. You are all I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:5‬

“May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Patience’s and love are two very difficult things! To be patient is too understand that we all get there in our own time and own way, too truly love is to extend it too all!!! Not just some. Today’s prayer is that we would do our best too show the love and patience that Christ had for us! Be Blessed and pray for these traits

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 8:4

“so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Romans‬ ‭8:4‬ ‭NASB‬‬

This scripture is very clear if your eyes are open! The law is not the speed limit or the don’t steal gum from the store!!! It’s God’s law of love. When we walk in the flesh it means to love the life we lived before Jesus, but to walk in the spirit is to know what’s wrong and right in the eyes of God and follow it. Today’s prayer is be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and walk upright in the eyes of 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

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. ‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. Gods plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve a all loving, caring, and protecting 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

WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem—one that goes on and on—view it as a rich opportunity. – ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21, 2 Corinthians 4:17

https://youtu.be/QvKiPQxfrD8

WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem—one that goes on and on—view it as a rich opportunity. (https://youtu.be/QvKiPQxfrD8)

“WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem—one that goes on and on—view it as a rich opportunity. An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by your side. The learning possibilities are limited only by your willingness to be teachable. In faith, thank GOD for your problem. Ask GOD to open your eyes and your heart to all that The LORD is accomplishing through this difficulty. Once you have become grateful for a problem, it loses its power to drag you down. On the contrary, your thankful attitude will lift you up into heavenly places with GOD. From this perspective, your difficulty can be seen as a slight, temporary distress that is producing for you a transcendent Glory never to cease!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21

For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 2 Corinthians 4:17

Prayer: God open my eyes and my heart to see all that you are accomplishing through difficulties in my life. An ongoing problem is like a tutor always by my side. Help me to find the lesson each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in The LORD you are complete. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6, MATTHEW 5 : 3,6, PSALM 150 : 6

https://youtu.be/ufireT1w1Sg

COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in The LORD you are complete. (https://youtu.be/ufireT1w1Sg)

“COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in The LORD you are complete. As you rest quietly in GOD’S Presence, HIS Light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with GOD’S fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on GOD in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. The LORD is He from whom all blessings flow!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. . . . Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” MATTHEW 5 : 3,6

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. COLOSSIANS 2 : 9 – 10

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. PSALM 150 : 6

Prayer: In you Lord I am complete. Help me to depend on you with childlike trust and allow your joy and peace to become my companions no matter what is going on around me. From you all blessings flow. Help me to do my part and follow you with my whole heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18-19‬

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18-19‬ NIV)

Sometimes it hard to get over the past, someone wronged you, you got so far into debt you didn’t see a way out. The enemy wants you to dwell on those situations so you will look through Gods blessings that are all around you.
Today’s prayer is that we would all view the past as a stepping stone in the road that leads us straight to Gods blessings, if you’re still battling it’s time to look to the blessings that are there……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 SPEAKING in the depths of your being. – ISAIAH 50 : 4 ESV, REVELATION 2 : 4, ISAIAH 60 : 2

https://youtu.be/Gx3iPU6LjN0

GOD IS SPEAKING in the depths of your being. (https://youtu.be/Gx3iPU6LjN0)

“GOD IS SPEAKING in the depths of your being. Be still, so that you can hear GOD’S voice. GOD speaks in the language of Love; HIS words fill you with Life and Peace, Joy and hope. GOD desires to talk with all of HIS children, but many are too busy to listen. The “work ethic” has them tied up in knots. They submit wholeheartedly to this taskmaster, wondering why they feel so distant from GOD. Living close to GOD requires making HIM your First Love— your highest priority. As you seek The LORD’S Presence above all else, you experience Peace and Joy in full measure. GOD also is blessed when you make HIM first in your life. While you journey through life in GOD’S Presence, HIS Glory brightens the world around you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. ISAIAH 50 : 4 ESV

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

See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. ISAIAH 60 : 2

Prayer: Lord help me to journey through life being aware of your presence with me at all times. Open my eyes to see how your glory brightens the world around me. Help me to slow down and be still so I can hear your voice. I long to hear you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. – ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25, HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20, ROMANS 15 : 13

https://youtu.be/J0TrTbjj578

YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. (https://youtu.be/J0TrTbjj578)

“YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. The hope of heaven is meant to strengthen and encourage you, filling you with wondrous Joy. Many Christians have misunderstood this word hope, believing that it denotes wishful thinking. Nothing could be farther from the truth! As soon as The LORD became your Savior, heaven became your ultimate destination. The phrase hope of heaven highlights the benefits you can enjoy even while remaining on earth. This hope keeps you spiritually alive during dark times of adversity; it brightens your path and heightens your awareness of GOD’S Presence. GOD’S desire is that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 : 13

Prayer: God I long to be in Heaven one sweet day where you will wipe every tear from my eyes. And there will be no more pain or suffering. No more sickness or sadness. Only joy and peace. I can’t wait Lord. Until then, I put my hope and trust in you Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
