LINGER IN GOD’S PRESENCE AWHILE. – EPHESIANS 2 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 3

“LINGER IN GOD’S PRESENCE AWHILE. Rein in your impulses to plunge into the day’s activities. Beginning your day alone with GOD is essential preparation for success. A great athlete takes time to prepare himself mentally for the feat ahead of him before he moves a muscle. Similarly, your time of being still in GOD’S Presence equips you for the day ahead of you. Only GOD knows what will happen to you this day. GOD has arranged the events you will encounter as you go along your way. If you are not adequately equipped for the journey, you will grow weary and lose heart. Relax with GOD while HE readies you for action.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. HEBREWS 12 : 3

Prayer: Lord help me to linger in your presence today allowing you to equip me for what’s up ahead. Help me to relax with you while you ready me for action and fill me with unexplainable joy and peace and wisdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

This scripture has always had a place in my heart, do you hunger for righteousness? Do you thirst for righteousness? The world will take your focus off of being righteous, it’s portrayed as being weak by the worlds standard. As Christians we should strive to be more like Jesus every day. Today’s prayer is that we would all strive to be more like Jesus everyday! Jesus won over sinners with his love and forgiveness there’s a start……..Be Blessed and Love someone today to Jesus

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

DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life.

“DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on GOD. Ultimately, it is The LORD’S view of you that counts. As you concentrate on relating to GOD, remember that HE has clothed you in HIS righteousness and holiness. GOD sees you attired in these radiant garments, which JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD bought for you with HIS blood. This also is not fair; it is pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that GOD’S ways with you are much better than fair. GOD’S ways are Peace and Love, which The LORD has poured out into your heart by HIS Holy Spirit.” para=phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. COLOSSIANS 3 : 13

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. EPHESIANS 1 : 7 – 8

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. ROMANS 5 : 5

Prayer: Lord help me not to expect to be treated fairly in this life. But thank you that your ways with me now and for eternity are much better than fair. Jesus you unfairly died on the cross for my sins. What an incredible sacrifice. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Your grateful child. Amen.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:3

“Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you ready? Are you holding up your end of the deal? To be ready is to know without a doubt that you are ready for the return of the savior, to hold up your end of the deal means are you doing all you can to advance the kingdom, are you witnessing? Are you living a life that is pleasing to God? Today’s prayer is that we would all do our best to advance the kingdom and live a life to please God and no one else!!! Human acceptance is today!!! eternal acceptance is eternal….. Be Blessed

AS YOU BECOME increasingly aware of GOD’S Presence, you find it easier to discern the way you should go. – PSALM 32 : 8, GENESIS 1 : 1

“AS YOU BECOME increasingly aware of GOD’S Presence, you find it easier to discern the way you should go. This is one of the practical benefits of living close to GOD. Instead of wondering about what is on the road ahead or worrying about what you should do if . . . or when . . ., you can concentrate on staying in communication with GOD. When you actually arrive at a choice-point, The LORD will show you which direction to go. Many people are so preoccupied with future plans and decisions that they fail to see choices they need to make today. Without any conscious awareness, they make their habitual responses. People who live this way find a dullness creeping into their lives. They sleepwalk through their days, following well-worn paths of routine. GOD, the Creator of the universe, is the most creative Being imaginable. GOD will not leave you circling in deeply rutted paths. Instead, The LORD will lead you along fresh trails of adventure, revealing to you things you did not know. Stay in communication with GOD. Follow HIS guiding Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. PSALM 32 : 8

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. GENESIS 1 : 1

Prayer: Lord thank you for leading me along fresh paths of adventure, revealing to me things I did not know. Help me to stay in communication with you today Lord, following your guiding presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭13:1‬

“Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” Romans‬ ‭13:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

‭‭This Election has a lot of people in a frenzy, but as this scripture says all authorities are appointed by God. The Bible is clear about the end of times and all you have to do is open your eyes and there you have it Bible Prophecy. Today’s prayer is we would all except the outcome of this coming election and respect the outcome, for our Father in Heaven controls the outcome…….Be Blessed

COME TO GOD when you are hurting, and GOD will soothe your pain. Come to GOD when you are joyful, and GOD will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over. – JOHN 15 : 5, JAMES 1 : 4

“COME TO GOD when you are hurting, and GOD will soothe your pain. Come to GOD when you are joyful, and GOD will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over. GOD is All you need, just when you need it. Your deepest desires find fulfillment in GOD alone. This is the age of self-help. Bookstores abound with books about “taking care of number one,” making oneself the center of all things. The main goal of these methodologies is to become self-sufficient and confident. You, however, have been called to take a “road less traveled”: continual dependence on GOD. True confidence comes from knowing you are complete in GOD’S Presence. Everything you need has its counterpart in GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“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

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. JAMES 1 : 4

Prayer: Lord thank you that my deepest desires find fulfillment in you alone. When the world tells me to make myself the center of all things help me to look instead to my creator, the maker of heaven and earth, the one who made the stars and the moon. He is more than able. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION to GOD, feel the Light of GOD’S Presence shining upon you. – JOHN 17 : 20 – 23, PSALM 16 : 11

“AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION to GOD, feel the Light of GOD’S Presence shining upon you. Open your mind and heart to receive GOD’S heavenly smile of approval. Let HIS gold-tinged Love wash over you and soak into the depths of your being. As you are increasingly filled with GOD’S Being, you experience joyous union with HIM: GOD in you, and you in GOD. Your Joy-in-GOD and HIS Joy-in-you become intertwined and inseparable. GOD suffuses your soul with Joy in HIS Presence; at GOD’S right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“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

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord thank you for showing me the path of life, the path full of joy and pleasure in You. Use me, with truth and love, to help the world to see you sent Jesus to save us and you love us more than we could ever fathom. You are a good, good Father. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
