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 were is you 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

Daily Devotional Video 5/13/2020 – 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

“THANK GOD IN THE MIDST of the crucible. When things seem all wrong, look for growth opportunities. Especially, look for areas where you need to let go, leaving your cares in GOD’S able hands. Do you trust GOD to orchestrate your life events as HE chooses, or are you still trying to make things go according to your will? If you keep trying to carry out your intentions while GOD is leading you in another direction, you deify your desires. Be on the lookout for what GOD is doing in your life. Worship GOD by living close to HIM, thanking GOD in ALL circumstances.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer: Search me God. Show me any areas that are not representing you well. Show me the areas you want me to grow in and help me to do so. Help me to let go of a Give Me attitude, and instead have a Make Me your humble servant attitude. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 5/12/2020 – EXODUS 33 : 14, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29

“LEARN TO RELATE to others through GOD’S Love rather than yours. Your human love is ever so limited, full of flaws and manipulation. GOD’S loving Presence, which always enfolds you, is available to bless others as well as you. Instead of trying harder to help people through your own paltry supplies, become aware of GOD’S unlimited supply, which is accessible to you continually. Let The LORD’S Love envelop your outreach to other people. Many of GOD’S precious children have fallen prey to burnout. A better description of their condition might be “drainout.” Countless interactions with needy people have drained them, without their conscious awareness. You are among these weary ones, who are like wounded soldiers needing R&R. Take time to rest in the Love-Light of The LORD’S Presence. GOD will gradually restore to you the energy that you have lost over the years. Come to GOD, all you who are weary and burdened, and you will find rest for your souls.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14

“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

Prayer: God thank you for always providing rest for me when I need it. You are a good good Father and I’m so grateful to be your child. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬

““The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.” Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had their eyes fixed on him, as he said to them, “This passage of scripture has come true today, as you heard it being read.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬ ‭GNT‬‬

This bit of scripture speaks right to my heart, Jesus stood in the synagogue and outright told them all he was the Messiah. The ones who believed followed, but the others called him a blasphemer. In the world today times have not changed, there are those who follow, and those who say Jesus is a fairytale. Today’s prayer is that we would witness to the world that Jesus is alive!!!! He is still healing, He is still setting the captive free, He is still the Messiah and will reign forever……..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

Daily Devotional Video 5/11/2020 – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 , JOHN 14 : 27

“THANK GOD FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. As soon as your mind gets snagged on a difficulty, bring it to GOD with thanksgiving. Then ask The LORD to show you HIS way to handle the situation. The very act of thanking GOD releases your mind from its negative focus. As you turn your attention to GOD, the problem fades in significance and loses its power to trip you up. Together GOD and you can deal with the situation, either facing it head-on or putting it aside for later consideration. Most of the situations that entangle your mind are not today’s concerns; you have borrowed them from tomorrow. In this case, GOD lifts the problem out of today and deposit it in the future, where it is veiled from your eyes. In its place GOD gives you HIS Peace, which flows freely from GOD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27

Prayer: God when problems arise help me to see them from the lens of what I know. You are good and therefore there must be a purpose in each problem. Help me to find the unexpected miracles along the rough paths of life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭31:28-29‬

“Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:28-29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

A Mother is the most caring person in the world! She will nurture, care for, correct, and always love you. This scripture is dead on. Today’s prayer on Mother’s Day is we would bless and praise our Moms for all they do….. Happy Mother’s Day too all the Mothers out there.

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

Daily Devotional Video 5/8/2020 – JOHN 16 : 33, ISAIAH 41 : 13, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

“DO NOT LONG for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal, since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth. Begin each day anticipating problems, asking GOD to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipping is GOD’S living Presence, GOD’S hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with The LORD. Take a light hearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and GOD together can handle. Remember that The LORD is on your side, and HE has overcome the world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

Prayer: God thank you for your perfect plan. You have placed in me a deep desire for a problem free life because that’s the way Heaven is – my true home. But in the meantime help me to see every problem as an opportunity to learn to surrender to you, to depend on you more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
