GOD DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM. – MARK 8 : 36, PSALM 139 : 13 – 16, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18

https://youtu.be/y_agvgLTXII

“GOD DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of GOD, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts. Find fulfillment through living close to The LORD, yielding to HIS purposes for you. Though GOD may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that The LORD knows what HE is doing. If you follow GOD wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. The LORD knows you intimately —far better than you know yourself. In union with GOD, you are complete. In closeness to GOD, you are transformed more and more into the one HE designed you to be.” paraphrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” MARK 8 : 36

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. PSALM 139 : 13 – 16

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18

Prayer: Lord help me to find fulfillment through living close to you, and yielding to your purposes for my life. When I do, I’m more successful, more peaceful, more joyful, and more fully myself. Thank you for the beautiful union Jesus made possible through the cross. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13:2-3‬

“Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.” Hebrews‬ ‭13:2-3‬
‭‭‭
It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race of life that we overlook the God moments that he sets in front of our faces daily. It’s so easy to judge those on the streets and say ” they just want to go buy a drink” but is that for us to judge? What if God passed that same judgement on us? God loved us at our lowest moments in life! Don’t you think we should do the same? Today’s prayer is that we would slow down and show the same love that God showed us, take every opportunity to witness the love of Jesus, preach to someone, not at them……..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

YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD, REST IN THE LORD. – JOHN 15 : 13, ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17, NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

https://youtu.be/aWLHMnmZSyI

“YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD, REST IN THE LORD. This time devoted to GOD is meant to be peaceful, not stressful. You don’t have to perform in order to receive GOD’S Love. GOD has boundless, unconditional Love for you. How it grieves The LORD to see HIS children working for Love: trying harder and harder, yet never feeling good enough to be loved. Be careful that your devotion to GOD does not become another form of works. GOD wants you to come into HIS Presence joyfully and confidently. You have nothing to fear, for you wear The LORD’S own righteousness. Gaze into The LORD’S eyes, and you will see no condemnation, only Love and delight in the one HE sees. Be blessed as GOD’S Face shines radiantly upon you, giving you Peace. para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. JOHN 15 : 13

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17

“The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

Prayer: Lord help me to rest in you. May your face shine radiantly upon me, giving me peace. Thank you for your boundless unconditional love. Teach me to love more like you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭6:1

“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.” Galatians‬ ‭6:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Are you living a life with no sin? Didn’t think so. We all sin so why do we judge and condemn others when they sin? Hasn’t the judging been done at the cross? Then why do we play God with our judgment? Today’s prayer is that when a brother or sister is struggling that we would lift them up and help!! not keep them down……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

WORSHIP GOD by living close to HIM.

https://youtu.be/dljxLVxxQco

“WORSHIP GOD by living close to HIM. This was GOD’S original design for man, into whom GOD breathed HIS very breath of Life. This is GOD’S desire for you: that you stay near HIM as you walk along your life-path. Each day is an important part of that journey. Although you may feel as if you are going nowhere in this world, your spiritual journey is another matter altogether, taking you along steep, treacherous paths of adventure. That is why walking in the Light of GOD’S Presence is essential to keep you from stumbling. By staying close to GOD, you present yourself as a living sacrifice. Even the most routine part of your day can be a spiritual act of worship, holy and pleasing to GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. GENESIS 2 : 7

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 1 – 2

Prayer: Lord whether I eat or drink or anything I do, help me to do it with excellence for your glory and to help others. Do not let me conform to the patterns of this world, but transform me by the renewing of my mind to look a little more like Jesus each day. Use me to be salt and light this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Colossians 2:12-15

buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:12-15 NKJV)

It’s hard for us to understand that Jesus took all the sin, sickness, poverty, ugliness at the cross!!!!! Although we struggle daily with sin, do not be sin conscious, be God conscious. In Christ we have all things, it has been deposited in our spirit forever more…….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

Ephesians 1:7

In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, (Ephesians 1:7 AMP)

We have eternal redemption through the Blood of Jesus Christ!!!! Circumstances sometimes tell us were not worthy, we should be ashamed but when Jesus died on the cross we received a gift, each day confess ” I am the righteousness through Christ Jesus” let not your works determine how close you are to The Lord ……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

REJOICE IN GOD ALWAYS! – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4,12, PSALM 102 : 27

https://youtu.be/sDIzj0x04TM

“REJOICE IN GOD ALWAYS! No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your Love-relationship with GOD. This is the secret of being content in all circumstances. So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy: when they are out of debt, when their children are out of trouble, when they have more leisure time, and so on. While they daydream, their moments are trickling into the ground like precious balm spilling wastefully from overturned bottles. Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality. Even though GOD is invisible, GOD is far more Real than the world you see around you. GOD’S reality is eternal and unchanging. Bring your moments to GOD, and HE will fill them with vibrant Joy. Now is the time to rejoice in GOD’S Presence!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! . . . I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4,12

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer: Lord teach me to live in the present moment, appreciating the blessings you’ve given me. And whether I am in need or I have plenty, help to be content and grateful. I’m so glad you are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You never change. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭119:2

“Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Are you doing all you can to keep Gods word in your heart? Do you witness his grace and mercy to all you can? Are you seeking God in all you do with all your heart? This is Gods will for our life. Today’s prayer is that we would be the disciples that Jesus commissioned us to be testifying to all we can and seeking God’s direction with our whole heart……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 ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO YOU. – ISAIAH 54 : 10, GENESIS 28 : 15 , MATTHEW 28 : 20

https://youtu.be/IVi_r3OU5-Y

“GOD IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO YOU. Once you have trusted GOD as your Savior, HE never distances Himself from you. Sometimes you may feel distant from GOD. Recognize that as feeling; do not confuse it with reality. The Bible is full of The LORD’S promises to be with you always. As GOD assured Jacob, when he was journeying away from home into unknown places, GOD is with you and will watch over you wherever you go. Christ’s last recorded promise to HIS followers was: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Let these assurances of The LORD’S continual Presence fill you with Joy and Peace. No matter what you may lose in this life, you can never lose your relationship with GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Prayer: Lord thank you for always being available to talk to me. After the fall that was broken. Thank you for sending your son Jesus to restore things back to the way you originally designed them to be. To walk and talk with your children throughout the day. Just like in the garden of Eden, you walk and talk with me in the garden of my heart now. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
