WATCH YOUR WORDS DILIGENTLY

https://youtu.be/LMf23Vkz458

“WATCH YOUR WORDS DILIGENTLY. Words have such great power to bless or to wound. When you speak carelessly or negatively, you damage others as well as yourself. This ability to verbalize is an awesome privilege, granted only to those GOD created in HIS image. You need help in wielding this mighty power responsibly. Though the world applauds quick-witted retorts, GOD’S instructions about communication are quite different: Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to help you whenever you speak. GOD has trained you to pray—“Help me, Holy Spirit”—before answering the phone, and you have seen the benefits of this discipline. Simply apply the same discipline to communicating with people around you. If they are silent, pray before speaking to them. If they are talking, pray before responding. These are split-second prayers, but they put you in touch with GOD’S Presence. In this way, your speaking comes under the control of GOD’S Holy Spirit. As positive speech patterns replace your negative ones, the increase in your Joy will amaze you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. PROVERBS 12 : 18

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. JAMES 1 : 19

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. EPHESIANS 4 : 29

Prayer: God help me to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. To pray a quick prayer before conversations so that my words will be edifying and pleasing to you and to those who hear them Lord whether in person or online. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ NIV)

Have you ever done something you know is wrong but did it anyways? If you look at all temptation there is always a way out of it. Gods word tells us that he will never let us be tempted beyond what we can endure. As believers we have to stand firm on his word. The devil will always direct temptation at us in all areas but when the temptation comes remember there is always a way around it. Today I pray when temptation arises we would confess the ” We are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus” and watch the temptation flee…….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

Psalm 63: 1-4

O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you.My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. Psalm 63: 1-4

Our country is in much need of help, we look at the world events and think we’re doomed. God is what this great nation was built on and the lack of God will be the great fall of this nation. Instead of restoring the values back, the world can’t take God far enough away. Today’s prayer is that we as Christians would join together and pray for the world, pray that God would restore faith in mankind by opening his eyes to his many miracles that we as Christians see daily……..Be Blessed and say a prayer daily for the world

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 ‭12‬:‭12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬ NIV)

This scripture lays out a great foundation to live by. To be joyful in hope is to look to our end results in Jesus, to be patient in affliction is to know that without a doubt Jesus will show up to correct the situation, and to be faithful in prayer means to always have a open line of communication with Jesus. Today I pray that we would all use this scripture as a foundation to live our lives by…….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 in the depths of your being – COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, MATTHEW 28 : 20, JOHN 20 : 19

https://youtu.be/gI7nLQtpPb0

“TRUST GOD in the depths of your being. It is there that GOD lives in constant communion with you. When you feel flustered and frazzled on the outside, do not get upset with yourself. You are only human, and the swirl of events going on all around you will sometimes feel overwhelming. Rather than scolding yourself for your humanness, remind yourself that GOD is both with you and within you. GOD is with you at all times, encouraging and supportive rather than condemning. GOD knows that deep within you, where HE lives, HIS peace is your continual experience. Slow down your pace of living for a time. Quiet your mind in GOD’S Presence. Then you will be able to hear The LORD bestowing the resurrection blessing: Peace be with you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

“. . . and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” JOHN 20 : 19

Prayer: Lord the more I read your word, the more I get to know you. The more I get to know you, the more I’m in awe of your goodness and kindness and mercy and patience. Thank you for not only sending your son Jesus to take my place, but also for sending your Holy Spirit who lives in me and knows all things and is teaching me to be more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness

https://youtu.be/VgpKqYP-u-0

“WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness. GOD created beauty to declare the existence of HIS holy Being. A magnificent rose, a hauntingly glorious sunset, oceanic splendor— all these things were meant to proclaim GOD’S Presence in the world. Most people rush past these proclamations without giving them a second thought. Some people use beauty, especially feminine loveliness, to sell their products. How precious are GOD’S children who are awed by nature’s beauty; this opens them up to HIS holy Presence. Even before you knew GOD personally, you responded to HIS creation with wonder. This is a gift, and it carries responsibility with it. Declare GOD’S glorious Being to the world. The whole earth is full of GOD’S radiant beauty – GOD’S Glory!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV)

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

Prayer: Lord help me to slow down enough to see your beautiful creation all around me. Let the birds and the sunset be a reminder of your precious love and gifts. You are still on the throne. Help me to keep you in the center of my life today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭1:3‬

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,” Ephesians‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Oh how truly blessed we are! What we have and what we deserved are worlds apart. The Grace of God is such a awesome gift words can’t describe it. Today’s prayer is that we we endure trials and ups and downs we step back and thank God for all the blessings he gives us daily……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

Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬

“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Giving is such a beautiful thing! When you are able too bless someone in need or just bless them because it is a beautiful gift, unless you remind, brag, announce, etc. Jesus spoke about giving in secrecy not too even have each of your hands know what’s going on. Today’s prayer is that we would all help when we can and if God leads you even when we can’t …… Be Blessed and Be A Blessing

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 CONTINUALLY – HEBREWS 6 : 19, 1 JOHN 2 : 28, MATTHEW 22 : 37

https://youtu.be/pq0-qU5wlHc

“COME TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD is meant to be the Center of your consciousness, the Anchor of your soul. Your mind will wander from GOD, but the question is how far you allow it to wander. An anchor on a short rope lets a boat drift only slightly before the taut line tugs the boat back toward the center. Similarly, as you drift away from GOD, HIS Holy Spirit within you gives a tug, prompting you to return to GOD. As you become increasingly attuned to GOD’S Presence, the length of rope on your soul’s Anchor is shortened. You wander only a short distance before feeling that inner tug— telling you to return to your true Center in GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. 1 JOHN 2 : 28

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” MATTHEW 22 : 37

Prayer: God thank you for The Holy Spirit in me who gives me a gentle tug when I’m drifting from you. Attune my heart to pay attention to those impressions and nudges, bringing me back to my center in Christ. My rock. My hope. My Anchor. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits… – 1 John‬ ‭4:1-3‬

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” 1 John‬ ‭4:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So many false doctrine in the world today! Some preach this and some preach that, Jesus said many will come in my name but are not of the Father. A simple rule too live by is if it doesn’t line up with the word of God it is false!!!! Today’s prayer is the spirit of God that lives in us would help us too discern the truth…….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
