“If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.” Galatians 6:3-5 NIV How’s your Jesus shining? Are you showing the ways of the Lord or the ways of the world?. In the world today we measure ourselves by the other person, when in actuality we should always measure ourselves on how much Jesus we are showing. Today’s prayer is that we would never compare ourselves to one another, but only measure ourselves to the Lord of Lords……..Be Blessed
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
Are you truly seeking God with your whole heart or just half? News Flash!!!! God knows our heart. God knows everything that is within us. Today’s prayer is that we would drop to our knees and truly seek Gods face with all we have, He is a all loving God and is just to show up to his faithful…….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
“Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 18:12 NIV
Are you on top of the world? Is life the best it’s ever been for you? Careful that’s when the enemy will come against you the hardest in my opinion. This proverb speaks of being haughty and humble, which are you? Today’s prayer is that we all would humble ourselves at the foot of our blessings and always stand guard against haughtiness for that will bring destruction…….Be Blessed and Be Humble
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
“POUR ALL OF YOUR ENERGY into trusting GOD. It is through trust that you stay connected to GOD, aware of HIS Presence. Every step on your life-journey can be a step of faith. Baby steps of trust are simple for you; you can take them with almost unconscious ease. Giant steps are another matter altogether: leaping across chasms in semidarkness, scaling cliffs of uncertainty, trudging through the valley of the shadow of death. These feats require sheer concentration, as well as utter commitment to GOD. Each of The LORD’S children is a unique blend of temperament, giftedness, and life experiences. Something that is a baby step for you may be a giant step for another person, and vice versa. Only GOD knows the difficulty or ease of each segment of your journey. Beware of trying to impress others by acting as if your giant steps are only baby ones. Do not judge others who hesitate, in trembling fear, before an act that would be easy for you. If each of GOD’S children would seek to please HIM above all else, fear of others’ judgments would vanish, as would attempts to impress others. Focus your attention on the path just ahead of you and on the One who never leaves your side.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” MATTHEW 7 : 1 – 2
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. PROVERBS 29 : 25
Prayer: Lord help me to pour all of my energy into trusting you. Thank you for the gifts, talents and experiences you’ve given me. Help me to use them to serve you and serve others with excellence today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory. (1 Timothy 3:16 NLT)
There are many opinions in the world today, God gave us a choice – Believe or don’t Believe!! As for me and my house we will believe and stand bold on the truth that Christ is King!!!!! Today I pray that anyone who has a ounce of doubt be revealed the truth by the spirit of God…….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
“LIVE FIRST AND FOREMOST in GOD’S Presence. Gradually you will become more aware of GOD than of people and places around you. This awareness will not detract from your relationships with others. Instead, it will increase your ability to give love and encouragement to them. GOD’S Peace will permeate your words and demeanor. You will be active in the world, yet one step removed from it. You will not be easily shaken, because GOD’S enveloping Presence buffers the blow of problems. This is the path The LORD has set before you. As you follow it wholeheartedly, you experience abundant Life and Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. PSALM 89 : 15 – 16
I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. PSALM 16 : 8
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 PETER 1 : 2
Prayer: Lord help me to become more aware of you and your presence. The more I do, the more I will rely on you and not my own words and actions. And the more love and encouragement I can share with others because it will be bubbling over inside me. You are so good Abba. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,” 2 Peter 2:9 NKJV
Day to day life brings temptation!!!! Temptation to lie, sin, etc!!! But those in Christ are saved!!!! When you made Christ your savior you were redeemed!!! We all miss the mark daily that’s why it took the blood of Jesus to bring you into a state of redemption!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would never use that blood as fire insurance!!!! Jesus went too the Cross once and for all and our sin is once and for all but don’t we want to make it a lifestyle ? Be Blessed ……
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
“WALK WITH GOD in the freedom of forgiveness. The path you follow together is sometimes steep and slippery. If you carry a burden of guilt on your back, you are more likely to stumble and fall. At your request, GOD will remove the heavy load from you and bury it at the foot of the cross. When GOD unburdens you, you are undeniably free! Stand up straight and tall in The LORD’S Presence, so that no one can place more burdens on your back. Look into The LORD’S Face and feel the warmth of HIS Love-Light shining upon you. It is this unconditional Love that frees you from both fears and sins. Spend time basking in the Light of GOD’S Presence. As you come to know The LORD more and more intimately, you grow increasingly free.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. PSALM 68 : 19
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. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 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 : 7 – 9
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18
Prayer: God thank you for your unconditional love that frees me from fear and sin. You are so good. Help me to feel your love shining on me as I bask in the light of your presence. And as I spend time with you getting to know you more I feel increasingly free from the chains that used to bind me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.” (Mark 7:13 NKJV)
Religious traditions are a killer!!!! The word of God is so clear on all that God wants, does, has, and has done for us. Today read the word with spiritual eyes and let it speak to you, never take just one part of the word to build a tradition. Today I pray that all of us would understand just what Jesus did for us on the cross……..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 AND REFUSE TO WORRY, for The LORD is your Strength and Song. You are feeling wobbly this morning, looking at difficult times looming ahead, measuring them against your own strength. However, they are not today’s tasks—or even tomorrow’s. So leave them in the future and come home to the present, where you will find The LORD waiting for you. Since GOD is your Strength, HE can empower you to handle each task as it comes. Because GOD is your Song, HE can give you Joy as you work alongside HIM. Keep bringing your mind back to the present moment. Among all GOD’S creatures, only humans can anticipate future events. This ability is a blessing, but it becomes a curse whenever it is misused. If you use your magnificent mind to worry about tomorrow, you cloak yourself in dark unbelief. However, when the hope of heaven fills your thoughts, the Light of GOD’S Presence envelops you. Though heaven is future, it is also present tense. As you walk in the Light with The LORD, you have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. EXODUS 15 : 2
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. HEBREWS 10 : 23
Prayer: Lord help me to put the helmet of salvation on, protecting my thoughts and taking every thought captive that doesn’t align with You and Your word and make it obedient to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit inside me. Help me not to worry about tomorrow and enjoy the presents and opportunities you’ve given me in the present. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
