Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This parable has always ministered to me in a eye opening way. This relates to choice, The choice to believe or not believe. To live among the weeds can be a negative or a positive, if we take the opportunity to witness the Gospel it’s a positive, if we choose to let them affect us then it becomes a negative. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that God leaves the weeds until his time comes, God wants not one to Be lost but all to be saved……. Take the opportunity to witness and 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 ME, MY CHILD. – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, PSALM 62 : 5

https://youtu.be/m3TA_ikud-k

“REST IN ME, MY CHILD. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking My Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with Me. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don’t even feel the strong grip of My hand holding yours. How foolish you are, My child! Remembrance of Me is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of My Presence with you. This will keep you resting in Me all day, every day.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Scripture

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. PSALM 62 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit, take charge of the details of my day today. Help me to rest in you, knowing you have every detail covered. No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together, and you will fight my battles for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Joel‬ ‭2 : 21‬

“Don’t be afraid, O land. Be glad now and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things.” ‭‭Joel‬ ‭2:21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The condition of the world makes us think there is no hope! But in reality there is nothing but hope, God has done a great work in the land and in us. Today’s prayer is that no matter how bad, it looks remember God has blessed us with all that we need and our great hope is in Jesus…….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 ALL AROUND YOU, like a cocoon of Light. – LUKE 12 : 22 – 31, JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/UGWRLkNFic8

“GOD IS ALL AROUND YOU, like a cocoon of Light. GOD’S Presence with you is a promise, independent of your awareness of HIM. Many things can block this awareness, but the major culprit is worry. GOD’S children tend to accept worry as an inescapable fact of life. However, worry is a form of unbelief; it is anathema to The LORD. Who is in charge of your life? If it is you, then you have good reason to worry. But if it is GOD, then worry is both unnecessary and counterproductive. When you start to feel anxious about something, relinquish the situation to GOD. Back off a bit, redirecting your focus to The LORD. HE will either take care of the problem Himself or show you how to handle it. In this world you will have problems, but you need not lose sight of GOD.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 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? “Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” LUKE 12 : 22 – 31

“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

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for surrounding me with your light and love. Help me to remember when I get anxious or worry to step back and hand the situation to you. You want me to give you my problems and in return you give me peace and joy. What a good Father you are. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34

“Righteousness makes a nation great; sin is a disgrace to any nation.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34‬ ‭GNT‬‬

It’s time for America to wake up!!! We see all the horrible things daily on the news and maybe even with our own eyes, could it be because America has turned away from God? I believe so. Today’s prayer is that as Christians we would pray that the Nation would repent and turn back to God so that he will have his hand upon America again…….Be Blessed

Ephesians‬ ‭4:26‬

““In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things in the world to do when you are not in constant communication with God, when you are not meditating daily in his word. When you are in continual prayer forgiveness becomes much easier, just think if God would not have sent his Son in the place of our sin!!! Devastating. Today’s prayer is that we would never end our day with anger in our hearts or anything against someone, forgive as you have been forgiven……..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

Jude‬ ‭1 : 24 – 25

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1 : 24 – 25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We tend to take all the glory when we achieve something, Jesus gave us the chance to live through his loving sacrifice so how can we not give him the glory? To be self righteous is to be distant from God. Today’s prayer is that we would give glory to God in all situations, even though we play a big part in our achievements, Jesus played a bigger part by laying his life down for us so that we may live…….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

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings. – PSALM 105 : 4, PSALM 19 : 1 – 2, ISAIAH 60 : 2

https://youtu.be/Bj1efvzN7jY

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings. GOD’S world is filled with beautiful things; they are meant to be pointers to The LORD, reminders of HIS abiding Presence. The earth still declares GOD’S Glory to those who have eyes that see and ears that hear. You had a darkened mind before you sought The LORD wholeheartedly. GOD chooses to pour HIS Light into you, so that you can be a beacon to others. There is no room for pride in this position. Your part is to reflect GOD’S Glory. HE is The Lord!”

Scripture

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. PSALM 19 : 1 – 2

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

Prayer: Lord, I seek your face today and find fulfillment for my deepest longings. Open my eyes to see the beauty of your world – sunrises, the moon and stars, and each animal I see and hear as reminders of you and your abiding presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ NLT

As Christians we have nothing to hide!!! Are you hiding something? In the Old Testament only the high priest could enter the most Holy place behind the veil, when Jesus died on the cross he tore that veil from top to bottom so that we could boldly enter God’s presence. The removal of the veil made us into the image of the Lord……Today I pray that as believers that we never cover ourselves again, that we would be bold for Christ who so graciously gave his life for us, that we would be a reflection to all of the image of Jesus ……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

RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, Holy Presence. – PSALM 46 : 10, 1 JOHN 3 : 2

https://youtu.be/ulAuv0l1zb4

RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, Holy Presence. Be still, while GOD transforms your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive The LORD’S Peace. Cease striving, and know that The LORD IS GOD. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of GOD. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on The LORD. It is through knowing The LORD intimately that you become like HIM. This requires spending time alone with GOD. Let go, relax, be still, and know that The LORD is GOD.

Scripture

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (NKJV)

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 JOHN 3 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I want to know you intimately. Help me to spend time in your word and be still in your presence while you transform my heart and mind. Align my heart’s desires with yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
