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

YOU ARE GOD’S FOR ALL TIME—and beyond time, into eternity. – PSALM 37 : 23 – 24, PSALM 18 : 30

https://youtu.be/290EkbYi8WY

YOU ARE GOD'S FOR ALL TIME—and beyond time, into eternity. (https://youtu.be/290EkbYi8WY)

“YOU ARE GOD’S FOR ALL TIME—and beyond time, into eternity. No power can deny you your inheritance in heaven. GOD wants you to realize how utterly secure you are! Even if you falter as you journey through life, GOD will never let go of your hand. Knowing that your future is absolutely assured can free you to live abundantly today. GOD has prepared this day for you with the most tender concern and attention to detail. Instead of approaching the day as a blank page that you need to fill up, try living it in a responsive mode: being on the lookout for all that GOD is doing. This sounds easy, but it requires a deep level of trust, based on the knowledge that GOD’S way is perfect.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. PSALM 37 : 23 – 24

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. PSALM 18 : 30

Prayer: Lord help me to be on the lookout for all you are doing today. Your way is perfect and I know you have prepared this day for me with the most tender concern and attention to detail. Thank you for never letting go of my hand. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭

“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to God? I see so many Christians that let the worlds circumstances destroy there faith in the Lord. The bible tells us that God is there through ALL! not some. Today’s prayer is that we would always trust in the Lord no matter what the circumstance is………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

REST IN GOD’S RADIANT PRESENCE. – GALATIANS 5 : 22, 1 JOHN 4 : 12

https://youtu.be/T5VaO-kLOS8

REST IN GOD'S RADIANT PRESENCE. (https://youtu.be/T5VaO-kLOS8)

“REST IN GOD’S RADIANT PRESENCE. The world around you seems to spin faster and faster, till everything is a blur. Yet there is a cushion of calm at the center of your life, where you live in union with GOD. Return to this soothing Center as often as you can, for this is where you are energized: filled with GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace. The world is a needy place; do not go there for sustenance. Instead, come to GOD. Learn to depend on GOD alone, and your weakness will become saturated with HIS Power. When you find your completeness in GOD, you can help other people without using them to meet your own needs. Live in the Light of GOD’S Presence, and your light will shine brightly into the lives of others.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. GALATIANS 5 : 22

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 JOHN 4 : 12

Prayer: Lord help me to return to the center of my soul where you are, often. This is where I am energized: filled with love, joy, and peace. Help me to depend on you alone. Where does my help comes from? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

SAVE YOUR BEST STRIVING FOR SEEKING GOD’S FACE. – 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 11, MATTHEW 6 : 33

https://youtu.be/QZBHlbVy_xE

SAVE YOUR BEST STRIVING FOR SEEKING GOD'S FACE. (https://youtu.be/QZBHlbVy_xE)

“SAVE YOUR BEST STRIVING FOR SEEKING GOD’S FACE. GOD is constantly communicating with you. To find The LORD and hear HIS voice, you must seek HIM above all else. Anything that you desire more than GOD becomes an idol. When you are determined to get your own way, you blot GOD out of your consciousness. Instead of single-mindedly pursuing some goal, talk with GOD about it. Let the Light of The LORD’S Presence shine on this pursuit, so that you can see it from HIS perspective. If the goal fits into GOD’S plans for you, HE will help you reach it. If it is contrary to GOD’S will for you, HE will gradually change the desire of your heart. Seek GOD first and foremost; then the rest of your life will fall into place, piece by piece.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 11

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” MATTHEW 6 : 33

Prayer: Lord help me to be more attuned to hearing and recognizing your voice this week. My part is to slow down each day and take time to listen. Help me to do that. Change any desires of my heart that don’t align to your plan for me Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. – ROMANS 8 : 28, 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

https://youtu.be/AAmg4f-Iep8

MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. (https://youtu.be/AAmg4f-Iep8)

“MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that GOD is sovereign over everything. GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust HIM. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece The LORD created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust GOD or defy HIM. The best way to befriend your problems is to thank GOD for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to GOD, enabling The LORD to embrace them in HIM loving Presence. GOD will not necessarily remove your problems, but HIS wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

Prayer: Heavenly Father help me to wait expectantly for you to bring good out of every problem. I know if you allowed it to happen there is a reason, and there will eventually be a benefit flowing from every difficulty. Thank you for your goodness Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REFUSE TO WORRY! – LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18

https://youtu.be/xIGXwIOshXI

“REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with GOD, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of GOD’S Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from GOD’S perspective. Live close to GOD! Together you can keep the wolves of worry at bay.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18

Prayer: God, when worry tries to work it’s way into my mind, gently remind me 365 times your word says do not worry. Once for every day of the year. Thank you Lord for always taking care of me. You knew I would need the reminder. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. – EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6, JOHN 10 : 4

https://youtu.be/krOw0Ubxvck

GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. (https://youtu.be/krOw0Ubxvck)

“GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You must learn to discern what is GOD’S voice and what is not. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of GOD’S children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with GOD each moment, listening for HIS directives and enjoying HIS Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. The LORD’S sheep know HIS voice and follow HIM wherever HE leads.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. JOHN 10 : 4

Prayer: Holy Spirit help me to discern your voice over all else. Help me to walk closely with you, moment by moment, listening for your direction and guidance and enjoying your companionship. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from GOD. – JOHN 11 : 25, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29, 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9

https://youtu.be/bNzpJGIiacY

GOD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from GOD. (https://youtu.be/bNzpJGIiacY)

“GOD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from GOD. People search for life in many wrong ways: chasing after fleeting pleasures, accumulating possessions and wealth, trying to deny the inevitable effects of aging. Meanwhile, GOD freely offers abundant Life to everyone who turns toward HIM. As you come to GOD and take HIS yoke upon you, The LORD fills you with HIS very Life. This is how GOD chooses to live in the world and accomplish HIS purposes. This is also how The LORD blesses you with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. The Joy is GOD’S, and the Glory is GOD’S; but GOD bestows them on you as you live in HIS Presence, inviting The LORD to live fully in you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” JOHN 11 : 25

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9 (KJV)

Prayer: God thank you for providing a way through you to live an abundant life. Help me to live in your presence so you can bestow your joy and peace and glory in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

WHEN SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS makes you anxious, come to GOD and talk about it. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6, ISAIAH 26 : 3

https://youtu.be/c7hXxGl–o0

WHEN SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS makes you anxious, come to GOD and talk about it. (https://youtu.be/c7hXxGl–o0)

“WHEN SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS makes you anxious, come to GOD and talk about it. Bring GOD your prayer and petition with thanksgiving, saying: “Thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity to trust You more.” Though the lessons of trust that The LORD sends to you come wrapped in difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost. Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is The LORD’S Peace. GOD has promised to keep you in perfect Peace to the extent that you trust in HIM. The world has it backwards, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems. GOD’S Peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain GOD’S Peace you are rich indeed.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 (NKJV)

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3

Prayer: Lord thank you that your peace is independent of all circumstances. Even if I lost everything, if I have your peace I am rich indeed. May I search for your peace wherever I am in life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
