And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 1 John 4:13 NLT
Do you ever get that feeling inside of total peace? Do you ever hear that voice telling you don’t do that or do this? This my friends is the Holy Spirit of God that lives inside us. Today I pray that we would all listen to the direction that the Holy Spirit gives us, listen closely and be at peace…….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
“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
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
“NO MATTER WHAT your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in GOD’S Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure. Begin by remembering that GOD has created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that GOD is present with you whether you sense HIS Presence or not. Then, start talking with GOD about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that The LORD understands you perfectly, and HE knows exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with GOD, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of GOD’S marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.”
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
. . . and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure. PROVERBS 2 : 4
Prayer: God thank you for your constant companionship. Even when I don’t see it, you’re working. Even when I don’t feel it, you’re working. Teach me to have your joy on the grayest of days. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 NIV
Before we knew Jesus we were prisoners to the world, after Jesus we are set free from all the strongholds we once had. This scripture tells us to stand firm and know that we are free!!! Today’s prayer is that when we feel weak don’t turn away SEEK the love of Jesus and he will always remind us of our freedom in him…….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
“TO LIVE in GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that HE can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to GOD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in The LORD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time—are gifts from The LORD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything GOD takes from you, but never let go of GOD’S hand!”
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 23 – 24
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6
And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 (NKJV)
Prayer: God help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. You know what’s best, I trust your sovereign plan. Search my heart and show me any area I need to let go of my will to yield to yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
““Mortal man,” he said, “these men have given their hearts to idols and are letting idols lead them into sin. Do they think I will give them an answer?” Ezekiel 14:3 GNT
What things do you have in your life that cause you to sin ? More so, what thing do you put before God that keeps you in Sin? Today’s prayer is that anything in our lives that makes us sin or that we put before God we would get rid of immediately!!!! Pray that God would take them and replace them with a servant’s heart…….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
“THE LORD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in Me alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD’S infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with GOD, The LORD’S Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let GOD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with HIM.”
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14
So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4:16
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7
Prayer: Lord though outwardly I am aging and growing weary, on the inside you are making me more and more alive. My strength comes from you. Show me any obstacle between us and give me the desire to remove it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”” Genesis 4:3-7 NKJV
I believe this scripture is essential for all of us. Cain brought the least and Able brought the first, the best, the deserving of the Lord! Are you giving God your best or just the leftovers? Today’s prayers are that we would always give God our best, our 100% be faithful to God because he is always faithful to us…….. Be Blessed

“COME TO GOD with your defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with GOD’S Presence. Relax, and feel the relief of being totally open and authentic with GOD. You have nothing to hide and nothing to disclose, because The LORD know everything about you already. You can have no other relationship like this one. Take time to savor its richness, basking in The LORD’S golden Light. One of the worst consequences of the Fall is the elaborate barriers people erect between themselves and others. Facades abound in the world, even in GOD’S Body, the Church. Sometimes, church is the last place where people feel free to be themselves. They cover up with Sunday clothes and Sunday smiles. They feel relief when they leave because of the strain of false fellowship. The best antidote to this artificial atmosphere is practicing GOD’S Presence at church. Let your primary focus be communing with GOD, worshiping HIM, glorifying HIM. Then you will be able to smile at others with GOD’S Joy and love them with HIS Love.”
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 5 – 7
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Lord thank you that I can come to you with my defenses down and allow you to fill me with your joy and peace. Help me to take every thought captive and make it obedient to you Jesus and replace those thoughts with things that are true, right, noble, pure, admirable, lovely, excellent and praiseworthy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5:15-17 NIV
What’s on your agenda today? Are you making the most of everyday? This scripture talks about being careful how you live. I see so many people say someday I will clean my act up, get right, maybe do the Jesus thing, The devil must jump for joy over those people. Today’s prayer is that we would all realize that we are not promised tomorrow!!!! It’s time to love all, live righteous, help others, and most important Love the Lord……Be Blessed
