GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. | JOHN 16 : 33, PSALM 112 : 4 & 7

https://youtu.be/5kbXEA4_ocE

“GIVE UP THE ILLUSION that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As The LORD, JESUS CHRIST told HIS disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in Heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking The LORD: the Perfect One. It is possible to enjoy The LORD and glorify GOD in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, GOD’S Light shines most brightly through believers who trust HIM in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of GOD’S indwelling Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust The LORD anyway. GOD is much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way.”

Scripture

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33 

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. . . . He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 4 & 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me let go of expecting an easy life and teach me to trust You when things are hard. Turn my eyes from fixing circumstances to seeking You instead. Give me wisdom to respond with faith, even in the dark. Amen.

Hebrews 10 : 8 – 10

Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them ” (which are offered according to the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10 : 8 – 10 NKJV

In the Old Testament GOD required sacrifices / burnt offerings to atone for Sin. In the New Testament GOD gave the ultimate sacrifice at Calvary. Today as you go through the day take hold and realize that the blood of JESUS CHRIST that was shed for us took care of our Sin past, present & future. Give thanks to GOD that HE loved us so much that HE gave HIS only begotten SON ……… 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

​IT’S ALL RIGHT TO BE HUMAN. | DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, 1 PETER 3 : 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

https://youtu.be/ZVkzbqSr3xU

“IT’S ALL RIGHT TO BE HUMAN. When your mind wanders while you are praying, don’t be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to GOD. Share a secret smile with GOD, knowing that HE understands. Rejoice in The LORD’S Love for you, which has no limits or conditions. Whisper The LORD’S Name in loving contentment, assured that HE will never leave you or forsake you. Intersperse these peaceful interludes abundantly throughout your day. This practice will enable you to attain a quiet and gentle spirit, which is pleasing to GOD. As you live in close contact with GOD, the Light of HIS Presence filters through you to bless others. Your weakness and woundedness are the openings through which the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines forth. The LORD’S strength and power show themselves most effective in your weakness.”

 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6 

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 PETER 3 : 4

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7

But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 

Prayer: Lord, thank You for meeting me with grace in my weakness and distractions. Gently draw my heart back to You and help me rest in Your faithful presence. Use even my weakness to reflect Your strength and light. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭14 : 34 – 35

““Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭14 : 34 – 35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It’s a privilege to be a Christian it’s also our obligation to witness the gospel to all we can. To say you’re a Christian is one thing but are you actively pursuing souls for CHRIST? Thus salt without flavor is useless. Today’s prayer is we would be more than just professing Christians but be active Christians ………. 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

Luke‬ ‭15‬ :‭ 4 – 7‬

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke‬ ‭15‬ :‭ 4 – 7‬ NIV

Are you praying for a family member,friend,co-worker ? GOD hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that GOD would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior…….. 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

Luke‬ ‭6 : 36

“You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6 : 36‬ ‭

 Can you imagine if GOD treated us with the same measure as we treat people? Wow what a disaster!!!! If GOD shows us HIS Grace 24/7/365 should we not do the same? Today’s prayer is we would treat ALL with compassion just as our Heavenly Father does to us ….. 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

STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. | PSALM 52 : 8, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

https://youtu.be/VhmIpD31JQA

“STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings The LORD has hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that GOD is sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust The LORD in all situations. Don’t waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment—accepting things exactly as they are— and search for GOD’S way in the midst of those circumstances. Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with The LORD. If you are trusting in The LORD consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in GOD with all your heart and mind.”

Scripture

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. PSALM 52 : 8 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you in more and more areas of my life. Starting at the present moment, accepting things exactly as they are, and searching for your way in the midst of my circumstances. I trust you Jesus. Amen.

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬ :‭ 16 – 17

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE ALL HIS. | DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, ROMANS 8 : 39

“GOD WANTS YOU TO BE ALL HIS. GOD is weaning you from other dependencies. Your security rests in GOD alone — not in other people, not in circumstances. Depending only on The LORD may feel like walking on a tightrope, but there is a safety net underneath: HIS everlasting arms. So don’t be afraid of falling. Instead, look ahead to GOD. The LORD is always before you, beckoning you on — one step at a time. Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, can separate you from GOD’S Loving Presence.”

Scripture

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27 

Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 39

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me rest my security in You alone and release the things I’ve leaned on instead. When trusting You feels uncertain, remind me that Your everlasting arms are holding me steady. Keep my eyes fixed on You as I take each step forward in confidence and peace.

Isaiah‬ ‭40‬ :‭ 31‬

“but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬ :‭ 31‬ ‭KJV‬‬ 

Are you waiting on something? Are you wondering if it will ever show up? Wait is a word that we should break down with spiritual eyes. 

W = walk with God daily. 

A = alignment your thoughts with GOD’S Word. 

I = invest time in GOD’S word. 

T = trust in GOD’S timing. 

Today’s prayer is that we would put this into play daily and trust in GOD for HE is 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
