WHEN YOU SEEK GOD’S FACE, put aside thoughts of everything else. – JOHN 15 : 11, 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12

WHEN YOU SEEK GOD'S FACE, put aside thoughts of everything else. – JOHN 15:11, 1 CORINTHIANS 13:12 (https://youtu.be/iXJmWfGgocI)

“WHEN YOU SEEK GOD’S FACE, put aside thoughts of everything else. GOD is above all, as well as in all; your communion with GOD transcends both time and circumstances. Be prepared to be blessed bountifully by The LORD’S Presence, for The LORD is a God of unlimited abundance. Open wide your heart and mind to receive more and more of The LORD. When your Joy in GOD meets HIS Joy in you, there are fireworks of heavenly ecstasy. This is eternal life here and now: a tiny foretaste of what awaits you in the life to come. Now you see only a poor reflection as in a mirror, but then you will see face to Face.”

“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” JOHN 15 : 11

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12

Prayer: God help me to open my heart and mind to receive more and more of you. Show me how to fully live the abundant life you prepared in advance for me. I know it starts with the condition of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭NKJV

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Doesn’t it feel good to truly do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return? Or do you always expect something in return? This scripture speaks about esteeming others above yourself. Today’s prayer is that we would always think of others before ourselves because that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father…….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

TRUST GOD IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. – PSALM 20 : 7, 1 JOHN 1 : 9, LUKE 1 : 79

TRUST GOD IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. – PSALM 20 : 7, 1 JOHN 1 : 9, LUKE 1 : 79 (https://youtu.be/PmK-Klptego)

“TRUST GOD IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. GOD knows that some thoughts are unconscious or semiconscious, and HE does not hold you responsible for those. But you can direct conscious thoughts much more than you may realize. Practice thinking in certain ways—trusting GOD, thanking GOD — and those thoughts become more natural. Reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them. Don’t try to hide them from GOD; confess them and leave them with GOD. Go on your way lightheartedly. This method of controlling your thoughts will keep your mind in GOD’S Presence and your feet on the path of Peace.”

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. PSALM 20 : 7

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 JOHN 1 : 9 “

. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer: God guide my feet and my thoughts into the path of peace. Help me to practice trusting you and thanking you more and more. You are in control. Nothing is a surprise to you. I trust your plan, Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

THE LORD IS YOUR FATHER – GOD. – ISAIAH 9 : 6, ZECHARIAH 9 : 9, ROMANS 8 : 15 – 16

THE LORD IS YOUR FATHER – GOD. – ISAIAH 9 : 6, ZECHARIAH 9 : 9, ROMANS 8 : 15 – 16 (https://youtu.be/9aHAzamVYcE)

“THE LORD IS YOUR FATHER – GOD. Listen to GOD! Learn what it means to be a child of the everlasting King. Your richest duty is devotion to The LORD. This duty is such a joyous privilege that it feels like a luxury. You tend to feel guilty about pushing back the boundaries of your life to make space for time alone with GOD. The world is waiting to squeeze you into its mold and to crowd out time devoted to GOD. The ways of the world have also warped your conscience, which punishes you for doing the very thing that pleases The LORD most: seeking HIS Face. Listen to GOD above the clamor of voices trying to distract you. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to control your mind, for He and The LORD work in perfect harmony. Be still and attentive in GOD’S Presence. You are on holy ground.”

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9 : 6

“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” ZECHARIAH 9 : 9 (NKJV)

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. ROMANS 8 : 15 – 16

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5

Prayer: Lord help me to push back the boundaries of my life to make space for time alone with you. When I do, I am blessed beyond measure. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Revelation‬ ‭16‬:‭15

“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” Revelation‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬ NLT

More than ever it’s time to take our faith seriously! Not just going to church on Sunday, or having a Bible on the nightstand it’s time to take our relationship with Jesus to another level. Today I pray that with all the trouble going on in the world that we would 100% have our trust 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

DRAW NEAR TO GOD with a thankful heart, aware that your cup is overflowing with blessings. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, PSALM 56 : 3 – 4, ISAIAH 43 : 19

https://youtu.be/2D_fMHPQoK0

DRAW NEAR TO GOD with thanks aware your blessings are overflowing ROM 8:38-39, PSA 56:3-4, ISA 43:19 (https://youtu.be/2D_fMHPQoK0)

“DRAW NEAR TO GOD with a thankful heart, aware that your cup is overflowing with blessings. Gratitude enables you to perceive GOD more clearly and to rejoice in your Love-relationship. Nothing can separate you from GOD’S loving Presence! That is the basis of your security. Whenever you start to feel anxious, remind yourself that your security rests in The LORD alone, and The LORD is totally trustworthy. You will never be in control of your life circumstances, but you can relax and trust in GOD’S control. Instead of striving for a predictable, safe lifestyle, seek to know GOD in greater depth and breadth. The LORD longs to make your life a glorious adventure, but you must stop clinging to old ways. GOD is always doing something new within HIS beloved ones. Be on the lookout for all that GOD has prepared for you.”

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. ISAIAH 43 : 19

Prayer: Lord help me not to strive for a predictable, safe life, but instead follow you with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength in the glorious adventure you planned in advance for me. All for your glory and not mine. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:4

“who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It is so important to witness to everyone we can! The world is broken and needs Jesus. The same love and mercy is available to everyone and it’s our job as Christians to spread the good news. Today’s prayer is that we would have the direction of the Holy Spirit to tell everyone about what Jesus has done in our lives……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

Isaiah 61:1-2

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor,and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; Isaiah 61:1-2

July 4th is the known day of freedom! The Birthday of America! Oh yeah and fireworks. The true meaning of freedom is as described in the passage, true freedom comes from Jesus Christ. Today’s prayer is for all to thank Jesus for the deliverance from whatever bondage you have been delivered from, remember where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom…….Be Blessed, Be Safe. Happy 4th all

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

WHEN YOU WORSHIP GOD in spirit and truth, you join with choirs of angels who are continually before GOD’S throne. – JOHN 4 : 23 – 24, PSALM 100 : 4

https://youtu.be/lYklux-BMDE

WHEN YOU WORSHIP GOD in spirit & truth, you join angels before GOD'S throne – JOH 4:23-24, PSA 100:4 (https://youtu.be/lYklux-BMDE)

“WHEN YOU WORSHIP GOD in spirit and truth, you join with choirs of angels who are continually before GOD’S throne. Though you cannot hear their voices, your praise and thanksgiving are distinctly audible in heaven. Your petitions are also heard, but it is your gratitude that clears the way to GOD’S Heart. With the way between us wide open, GOD’S blessings fall upon you in rich abundance. The greatest blessing is nearness to GOD—abundant Joy and Peace in HIS Presence. Practice praising and thanking GOD continually throughout this day.”

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” JOHN 4 : 23 – 24

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. PSALM 100 : 4

Prayer: Lord, I have much to be thankful for. I know every good gift comes from you so thank you for the many many blessings in my life. Help them be reminders to me of your goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Peter 1:18-21

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Peter 1:18-21 NKJV

Payments for things of the world are all temporary, you pay your mortgage and payment is required a month later, you pay your car payment and it’s again due next month. On that day at Calvary payment for our lives was given once and for all!!!!! Never again is payment needed, you could say Jesus has the title to our souls. Today realize the liberty we have in Jesus and praise his Holy name, all around us is temporal but heaven is eternal………….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
