1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. 1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬ NLT

Are you praying for someone you love? Are you praying for a casual friend? Are you praying for someone with a different belief other than Jesus? Are you praying for the leaders of the world? All of these should be on the prayer list. Paul was in prison in Rome yet he says pray for all because there is one God for all. Today I pray that we would all put aside any thought that someone does not need prayer, don’t just pray for friends and loved ones, pray for the non believer and the nations………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

Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬

“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Trials are sometimes our best times!! Why? They draw us nearer to God!! We complain but we should rejoice! Why ? Because the Holy Spirit has us right where we should be. Today’s prayer is that we would rejoice!!!! Knowing God almighty has our back and in the end our trial will be our Testimony……. Be Blessed and keep praising

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

COME TO GOD with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. – JOHN 17 : 20 – 23, ISAIAH 40 : 29 – 31

https://youtu.be/8KvP6ey5lqw

COME TO GOD with empty hands & an open heart, ready to receive blessings. JOH 17:20-23, ISA 40:29-31 (https://youtu.be/8KvP6ey5lqw)

“COME TO GOD with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. The LORD knows the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to GOD for nurture. Let GOD fill you up with HIS Presence: The LORD in you, and you in The LORD. GOD’S Power flows most freely into weak ones aware of their need for HIM. Faltering steps of dependence are not lack of faith; they are links to GOD’S Presence.”

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” JOHN 17 : 20 – 23

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 29 – 31

Prayer: God I come to you with empty hands and an open heart. Align the desires of my heart to yours. May every word that comes out of my mouth be a pleasing aroma to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18, PSALM 89 : 15

WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18, PSALM 89 : 15 (https://youtu.be/6Eavruk4ssw)

“WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. GOD’S children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacle that stymies them. If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from GOD’S perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward GOD, and see the Light of The LORD’S Presence shining upon you.”

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer: God help me to see problems as opportunities to see things from your perspective. Jesus told us in this life we will have trouble so prepare my heart for future trouble, Lord. I know when I spend time with you, I’m storing up credits to be used when trouble comes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4:3-4‬

“The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear. They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:3-4‬ ‭GNT‬‬

There are not only people with different opinions of the gospel but also churches!!!! The Gospel is crystal clear and should never be perverted. Today’s prayer is that we would carefully choose our place of worship and make sure that it follows God’s word perfectly!!! Not some of it ALL of it…….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 ‭26:3

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

What is consuming your mind? Are you thinking of all the situations that are going on in your life or are you focusing on the eternal promise after this life? As hard as it is we should all be practicing this. Today’s prayer is we would get our perfect peace from the source……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

MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. – HEBREWS 1 2 : 2, PSALM 102 : 27

MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. – HEBREWS 1 2 : 2, PSALM 102 : 27 (https://youtu.be/1IdWVQ0SgO0)

“MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given point to maintain her balance, so you must keep returning your focus to GOD. Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you. The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will become dizzy and confused. Look to GOD, refreshing yourself in HIS Presence, and your steps will be steady and sure.”

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 1 2 : 2

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer: Lord, help me to spend time in your presence each day to refresh me, to fill me, to renew me, and transform me to look a little more like you. Help me to fix my eyes on you and you alone Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. 2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. Gods plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve an all loving, caring, and protecting God…….Be Blessed

Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-3‬

“Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Paul was such an extraordinary example of what it means to be a soldier of Christ. This scripture speaks about upholding your brothers and sisters in Christ not beating them down. Today’s prayer is that we would lift each other up over our faults and help and love one another. If Jesus forgave any and all of our sin what gives us the right to not? Be Blessed and be a encourager

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

LISTEN TO GOD CONTINUALLY. – JOHN 8 : 36, PROVERBS 19 : 21, JOHN 10 : 27

LISTEN TO GOD CONTINUALLY. – JOHN 8 : 36, PROVERBS 19 : 21, JOHN 10 : 27 (https://youtu.be/0rF6yHz6WPI)

“LISTEN TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD has much to communicate to you, so many people and situations in need of prayer. GOD is training you to set your mind on HIM more and more, tuning out distractions through the help of HIS Holy Spirit. Walk with The LORD in holy trust, responding to The LORD’S initiatives rather than trying to make things fit your plans. JESUS CHRIST died to set you free, and that includes freedom from compulsive planning. When your mind spins with a multitude of thoughts, you cannot hear GOD’S voice. A mind preoccupied with planning pays homage to the idol of control. Turn from this idolatry back to The LORD. Listen to GOD and live abundantly!”

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. JOHN 8 : 36

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

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are a speaking God. Even now, you speak to me through your word and your Holy Spirit and through Godly people. Who am I that the God of the universe would talk with me and care about every detail of my life? My God does. Thank you sweet Jesus for making it all possible. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
