Daily Devotional Video 7/16/2020 – PSALM 40 : 2 – 3, PSALM 42 : 5, PSALM 147 : 11

“SELF – PITY IS A SLIMY, BOTTOMLESS PIT. Once you fall in, you tend to go deeper and deeper into the mire. As you slide down those slippery walls, you are well on your way to depression, and the darkness is profound. Your only hope is to look up and see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining down on you. Though the Light looks dim from your perspective, deep in the pit, those rays of hope can reach you at any depth. While you focus on GOD in trust, you rise ever so slowly out of the abyss of despair. Finally, you can reach up and grasp The LORD’S hand. GOD will pull you out into the Light again. The LORD will gently cleanse you, washing off the clinging mire. GOD will cover you with HIS righteousness and walk with you down the path of Life. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. PSALM 40 : 2 – 3

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. PSALM 42 : 5 (NKJV)

The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. PSALM 147 : 11

Prayer: Lord thank you that your rays of hope can reach me and meet me where I’m at. When I start down the path of self-pity, help me to count all the ways you’ve taken care of me in the past and are still doing and reach up and grab your hand. In you I am safe and loved. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“DO NOT WORRY ABOUT Tomorrow. This is not a suggestion, but a command from GOD. GOD divided time into days and nights, so that you would have manageable portions of life to handle. GOD’S grace is sufficient for you, but it’s sufficiency is for only one day at a time. When you worry about the future, you heap day upon day of troubles onto your flimsy frame. You stagger under this heavy load, which GOD never intended you to carry. Throw off this oppressive burden with one quick thrust of trust in GOD. Anxious thoughts meander about and criss-cross in your brain, but trusting GOD brings you directly into The LORD’S Presence. As you thus affirm your faith, shackles of worry fall off instantly. Enjoy GOD’S Presence continually by trusting GOD at all times. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. PSALM 62 : 8 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you more and worry less. Help me to focus on doing everything today with you. You give me the exact amount I need for each day – enough strength, enough energy for today. Help me to keep my eyes and mind fixed on you today, the author and perfecter of my faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 7/13/2020 – EPHESIANS 2 : 7 – 8, HEBREWS 3 : 1, PSALM 34 : 5, Isaiah 26: 3

https://youtu.be/yVlw4yAgpEI

“GOD WANTS YOU TO EXPERIENCE the riches of your salvation: the Joy of being loved constantly and perfectly. You make a practice of judging yourself, based on how you look or behave or feel. If you like what you see in the mirror, you feel a bit more worthy of GOD’S Love. When things are going smoothly and your performance seems adequate, you find it easier to believe you are GOD’S beloved child. When you feel discouraged, you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever is wrong. Instead of trying to “fix” yourself, fix your gaze on GOD, the Lover of your soul. Rather than using your energy to judge yourself, redirect it to praising GOD. Remember that GOD sees you clothed in HIS righteousness, radiant in HIS perfect Love.” para-phrased – ” Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

. . . in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. EPHESIANS 2 : 7 – 8

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. HEBREWS 3 : 1

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. PSALM 34 : 5

You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you. Isaiah 26: 3

Prayer: Lord help me to feel how high and wide and long and deep your love is for me. And know with confidence that nothing can separate me from your love. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you and your promises this week so I can keep in perfect peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭
Do you find yourself striving for greatness? And to what measure are you striving for?. God has called us to live a life that is pleasing to him, pressing forward to the goal of bringing heaven to earth. Today’s prayer is that we would strive for greatness in Gods eyes not the worlds, that we would be seeking approval from God not man In Jesus name be blessed

‭‭
Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is were it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..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 7/10/2020 – REVELATION 17 : 14, JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

https://youtu.be/xKKEksaVUlU

“RELAX IN GOD’S PEACEFUL PRESENCE. Do not bring performance pressures into your sacred space of communion. When you are with someone you trust completely, you feel free to be yourself. This is one of the joys of true friendship. Though GOD is Lord of lords and King of kings, GOD also desires to be your intimate Friend. When you are tense or pretentious in your relationship, GOD feels hurt. GOD knows the worst about you, but GOD also sees the best in you. The LORD longs for you to trust GOD enough to be fully yourself with HIM. When you are real with GOD, HE is able to bring out the best in you: the very gifts GOD has planted in your soul. Relax, and enjoy your friendship with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.” REVELATION 17 : 14

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

Prayer: God help me to be completely myself and open as I spend time with you. Ready for what you have for me each day. I’m in awe that the creator of the universe, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords wants to be my friend. What a privilege and an honor. Help me to take you up on that special offer. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Revelation‬ ‭22‬ :‭ 11-13

Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.” “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭11-13‬ NLT)

Do you believe God is a God of second chances? A God that forgives once and for all? When the New Covenant came Jesus brought never ending forgiveness to all who call upon his name and make him the Lord of there life. This scripture speaks that until the coming of our Lord let the choice of how people live be their choice, Jesus will judge all according. Today I pray that we would spread the gospel to anyone we can, we don’t know when his return will be, but the promise he has given should not be missed……Be Blessed and use your testimony to witness Jesus to the unsaved

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

Daily Devotional Video 7/9/2020 – DEUTERONOMY 30 : 20, GENESIS 1 : 27, ROMANS 12 : 2

https://youtu.be/lZjsYcN0qGI

“STOP WORRYING long enough to hear GOD’S voice. GOD speaks softly to you, in the depths of your being. Your mind shuttles back and forth, hither and yon, weaving webs of anxious confusion. As GOD’S thoughts rise up within you, they become entangled in those sticky webs of worry. Thus, GOD’S voice is muffled, and you hear only “white noise.” Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can think HIS thoughts. This ability is an awesome benefit of being GOD’S child, patterned after HIS own image. Do not be deafened by the noise of the world or that of your own thinking. Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, letting HIS thoughts reprogram your thinking. para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

. . . and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. DEUTERONOMY 30 : 20

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 27

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 : 2

Prayer: Holy Spirit quiet my mind so I can think your thoughts. Help me to tune out every voice but yours and sit quietly in your presence listening for your still small voice. You are a speaking God just as your children are, made in your image. Renew my mind Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
