GOD IS YOUR LORD! – PROVERBS 19 : 21, LUKE 1 : 79 (https://youtu.be/nA0TpoOokNo)

“GOD IS YOUR LORD! Seek GOD as Friend and Lover of your soul, but remember that GOD is also King of kings— sovereign over all. You can make some plans as you gaze into the day that stretches out before you. But you need to hold those plans tentatively, anticipating that GOD may have other ideas. The most important thing to determine is what to do right now. Instead of scanning the horizon of your life, looking for things that need to be done, concentrate on the task before you and the One who never leaves your side. Let everything else fade into the background. This will unclutter your mind, allowing GOD to occupy more and more of your consciousness. Trust GOD to show you what to do when you have finished what you are doing now. GOD will guide you step by step, as you bend your will to HIS. Thus you stay close to GOD on the path of Peace.”

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. PROVERBS 19 : 21

“. . . 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: Lord thank you for reminding me I can make plans, but to hold them tentatively, anticipating that you might have other ideas and when you do, may I accept your changes with joy. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you this week Jesus. To be a light in a dark world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9-11

I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God. ‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9-11‬ NLT

How are you reacting to situations that catch you off guard? Are you being led by a loving God, or by a worldly reaction? We as believers need to strive to be like Jesus in our every moment. Today I pray that we would ask God for the knowledge to fit every reaction and handle them as Christ did…..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

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 their life. This scripture speaks until the coming of our Lord let the choice 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

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

‭‭John‬ ‭15:2

“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A professional athlete is always training, always working to get rid of problem areas, always looking to be more consistent. God is doing the same thing to us everyday! Today’s prayer is that we would strive to be more kind, giving, helpful, encouraging, etc and continue to let the Holy Spirit prune our branches so we can grow and cut off our dead branches for good….. 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

THANK GOD IN THE MIDST of the ordeal. – 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18, MATTHEW 6:33

THANK GOD IN THE MIDST of the ordeal. – 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18, MATTHEW 6 : 33 (https://youtu.be/YXICGOhuDkk)

“THANK GOD IN THE MIDST of the ordeal. 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

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

Prayer: Lord thank you for the problems in front of me. They are opportunities to trust You more and to ask you how you want me to handle them, and surrender control into your capable hands. God your word says when my first priority is you, then you will give me everything I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

LEARN TO RELATE to others through GOD’S Love rather than yours. – EXODUS 33 : 14, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29

LEARN TO RELATE to others through GOD'S Love rather than yours. – EXODUS 33:14, MATTHEW 11:28-29 (https://youtu.be/TGW6bf9AJCw)

“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 GOD’S Love envelop your outreach to other people. Many of The LORD’S precious children have fallen prey to burnout. A better description of their condition might be “drain out.” 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 GOD’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.”

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: Lord help me to make time to rest in the love-light of your presence. Thank you for restoring my energy day by day. May I rely on and tap into your strength, love, and power to accomplish all you have in store for me today, for your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭4:10‬

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4:10‬

Are you full of pride? Do you look at all your accomplishments as all of you? Do you look to the world for approval of what you do? This scripture says to humble yourselves before the Lord. Today I pray that we would all have a humble disposition and give glory to the Lord for all he does…..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

THANK GOD FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6, JOHN 14 : 27

https://youtu.be/492NZ90XYc4

THANK GOD FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6, JOHN 14 : 27 (https://youtu.be/492NZ90XYc4)

“THANK GOD FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. As soon as your mind gets snagged on a difficulty, bring it to The LORD with thanksgiving. Then ask GOD 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 The LORD instead, the problem fades in significance and loses its power to trip you up. Together with GOD 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 deposits it in the future, where it is veiled from your eyes. In its place GOD gives you HIS Peace, which flows freely from HIS Presence.”

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: Lord when my mind gets snagged on a difficulty, remind me to thank you for the opportunity to listen for your direction. Show me how or if you want me to tackle the situation or leave it for you to handle. Thank you that I never have to figure things out on my own. You are so good Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭10:17

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Have you ever had faith in something or someone you have never heard about? Of course not, so if someone has not heard the good news of Jesus Christ how can they believe? By our witness that’s how. Today’s prayer is that we would boldly witness the gospel with courage and love……Be Blessed

DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. – JOHN 15 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 5 : 20

https://youtu.be/T2TAPdXvA4M

DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. – JOH 15:5,2 COR 1:8-9, EPH 5:20 (https://youtu.be/T2TAPdXvA4M)

“DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. These problems are not random mistakes; they are hand-tailored blessings designed for your benefit and growth. Embrace all the circumstances that Christ, The LORD allows in your life, trusting HIM to bring good out of them. View problems as opportunities to rely more fully on The LORD. When you start to feel stressed, let those feelings alert you to your need for GOD. Thus, your needs become doorways to deep dependence on Christ and increasing intimacy between you and GOD. Although self-sufficiency is acclaimed in the world, reliance on The LORD produces abundant living in HIS kingdom. Thank GOD for the difficulties in your life, since they provide protection from the idolatry of self-reliance.”

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Prayer: Lord, help me to embrace all the circumstances that you allow in my life, trusting you to bring good out of them for my benefit and growth. And to see them as opportunities to rely more fully on you. I trust you Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
