MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. – HEBREWS 12 : 2, PSALM 102 : 27

“MAKE GOD YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given point to maintain her balance, so you must keep returning your focus to GOD. Circumstances are in flux, and the world seems to be whirling around you. The only way to keep your balance is to fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. If you gaze too long at your circumstances, you will become dizzy and confused. Look to GOD, refreshing yourself in The LORD’S Presence, and your steps will be steady and sure.”

Scripture

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to spend time in your presence each day to refresh me, to fill me, to renew me, and transform me to look a little more like Jesus. Help me to fix my eyes on you – the one who never changes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Job‬ ‭11‬:‭13-15

“If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. ‭Job‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭13 – 15‬ NLT

Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! Surrender all to God and let his grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own…..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

LET GOD CONTROL YOUR MIND. – GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27, ROMANS 8 : 6

LET GOD CONTROL YOUR MIND. The mind is the most restless, unruly part of mankind. Long after you have learned the discipline of holding your tongue, your thoughts defy your will and set themselves up against The LORD. Man is the pinnacle of GOD’S creation, and the human mind is wondrously complex. GOD risked all by granting you freedom to think for yourself. This is a godlike privilege, forever setting you apart from animals and robots. GOD made you in HIS image, precariously close to deity. Though The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S blood has fully redeemed you, your mind is the last bastion of rebellion. Open yourself to GOD’S radiant Presence, letting HIS Light permeate your thinking. When GOD’S Holy Spirit is controlling your mind, you are filled with Life and Peace.” 

Scripture

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit, control my mind, fill it with Godly desires and thoughts, with life and peace. What a privilege to be made in your image Lord. Help me to be a good steward of this powerful gift by surrendering my thoughts to you each day, my Lord and Savior. In your name I pray. Amen. 

Romans 12 : 1 – 2

beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1 – 2 NKJV

Paul says I bring to you, by the mercies of God. Too many Christians are going to God trying to make him perform by their works, we should be thanking him for his mercy…… Today I pray that we all would renew our minds Daily, and embrace God’s mercy for us….. Be Blessed

KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD, not only for direction but also for empowerment. – PSALM 141 : 8, PSALM 16 : 11

“KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD, not only for direction but also for empowerment. GOD never leads you to do something without equipping you for the task. That is why it’s so important to seek GOD’S will in everything you do. There are many burned-out Christians who think more is always better, who deem it un-spiritual to say no. In order to know The LORD’S will, you must spend time with HIM — enjoying HIS Presence. This is not an onerous task but a delightful privilege. GOD will show you the path of Life; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy; at GOD’S right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”

Scripture

But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death. PSALM 141 : 8

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

Prayer: Lord help me to know your will by spending time with you, enjoying your presence. In your presence is fullness of joy, peace, and pleasures forevermore. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James 1:5 – 6

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5 – 6 NKJV

Wisdom seems to be a thing of the past, in reality wisdom is what we all should be praying for. When God told Solomon he could have whatever he wanted he asked for wisdom to rule his people and it was given to him liberally. As Solomon did what he did, he knew what to do by the direction of The Lord and he was blessed abundantly, but then he thought he could do it all on his own will and that was destruction. Today pray for God’s wisdom to handle each trial that comes your way, he is waiting with all the solutions……..Be Blessed

LISTEN TO GOD CONTINUALLY. – JOHN 8 : 36, PROVERBS 19 : 21, JOHN 10 : 27

“LISTEN TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD has much to communicate to you, so many people and situations in need of prayer. GOD is training you to set your mind on HIM more and more, tuning out distractions through the help of HIS Holy Spirit. Walk with GOD in holy trust, responding to The LORD’S initiatives rather than trying to make things fit your plans. The LORD, JESUS CHRIST died to set you free, and that includes freedom from compulsive planning. When your mind spins with a multitude of thoughts, you cannot hear The LORD’S voice. A mind preoccupied with planning pays homage to the idol of control. Turn from this idolatry back to GOD. Listen to GOD and live abundantly!”

Scripture

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. JOHN 8 : 36

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. PROVERBS 19 : 21

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord train me to set my mind on you more and more, tuning out distractions by the help of your Holy Spirit. Thank you for dying to set me free. Help me to live like I am free indeed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Psalm ‭100‬:‭5‬

For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. ‭Psalm ‭100‬:‭5‬ NLT

People and circumstances will hurt you in life, but God’s love is everlasting. Today I pray that we would all see through the hurts in life and stand on God’s promise, his love for us is everlasting…..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

Romans‬ ‭12:21‬

“Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:21‬

Anger, Wrath, Malice all of the Devil do you harbor any of these? This scripture says “Don’t let evil conquer you” is it? Today’s prayer is that we all would shun any evil in our lives, any hate, any anger, any un-forgiveness and just forgive and just love……. 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

1 John‬ ‭2:28

“And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Imagine on the day of the Lord’s return you think about all you could have done. Think about the calling God put on your life that you ignored because the enemy made you feel unworthy. What about all the time you could have spent with him in fellowship but chose other earthly things, the reality of this is staggering. Today’s prayer is that we would stay in constant fellowship with the Lord, pray for the faith to step out into your calling and know that on that day the Lord will say “enter my faithful servant you have made me proud” Be Blessed………….
