YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12, GENESIS 28 : 15, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/q7qR_hUOIko

“YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. GOD sets up no barriers between you; neither does GOD tear down barriers that you erect. People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don’t turn out as they’d hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation. Put more energy into trusting GOD and enjoying HIS Presence. Don’t let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to The LORD’S precious promises:”

Scripture

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. from My Love. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12 

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15 

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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 : 38 – 39

Prayers

Prayer: God I don’t want to let my well-being depend on my circumstances, rather help me connect my joy to your precious promises. Help me to desire to live so close to you I can feel your breath and to pour my energy into following you and enjoying your presence.. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. | EXODUS 33 : 14, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25, HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21, PSALM 29 : 11

https://youtu.be/Ow2UOc0srwU

“WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. You are wondering how you will cope with all that is expected of you. You must traverse this day like any other: one step at a time. Instead of mentally rehearsing how you will do this or that, keep your mind on GOD’S Presence and on taking the next step. The more demanding your day, the more help you can expect from The LORD. This is a training opportunity, since GOD designed you for deep dependence on your Shepherd-King. Challenging times wake you up and amplify your awareness of needing The LORD’S help. When you don’t know what to do, wait while GOD opens the way before you. Trust that The LORD knows what HE is doing, and be ready to follow HIS lead. GOD will give strength to you, and HE will bless you with Peace.”

Scripture

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14 

The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25 

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21 

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you the more demanding my day, the more I can expect your help when I give up control to you. Help me to view challenging times as reminders of how much I need your help. Give me strength and peace to do your good works today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Galatians 5 : 1

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5 : 1 NKJV

A lot of believers at first are on fire for The Lord, telling everyone the good news of what happened to them when they found Jesus but slowly but surely the old nature comes back to visit and tries to make its home again. This scripture says there is liberty(freedom) there is no more bondage. Today break free from whatever stronghold has a hold of you, pray for the spirit within you to guide your every step ……………. 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

EVERYTIME something thwarts your plans or desires, use that as a reminder to communicate with GOD. | COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, PHILIPPIANS 3 : 7 – 8

https://youtu.be/W0xsmRFI7Gs

“EVERYTIME something thwarts your plans or desires, use that as a reminder to communicate with GOD. This practice has several benefits. The first is obvious: Talking with GOD blesses you and strengthens your relationship. Another benefit is that disappointments, instead of dragging you down, are transformed into opportunities for good. This transformation removes the sting from difficult circumstances, making it possible to be joyful in the midst of adversity. Begin by practicing this discipline in all the little disappointments of daily life. It is often these minor setbacks that draw you away from GOD’S Presence. When you re-frame setbacks as opportunities, you find that you gain much more than you have lost. It is only after much training that you can accept major losses in this positive way. But it is possible to attain the perspective of the apostle Paul, who wrote: “Compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus, I consider everything I once treasured to be as insignificant as rubbish.””

Scripture

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2 

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 7 – 8

Prayer

Prayer:  God, whenever something thwarts my plans, help me to use that as a reminder to talk with you about it, not only removing the sting, but keeping me at peace despite any circumstance. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

1 Peter 1 : 18 – 21

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Peter 1 : 18 – 21 NKJV

Payments for things of the world are all temporary, you pay your mortgage and payment is required a month later, you pay your car payment and it’s again due next month. On that day at Calvary payment for our lives was given once and for all!!!!! Never again is payment needed, you could say JESUS CHRIST has the title to our souls. Today, realize the liberty we have in JESUS CHRIST and praise HIS Holy Name, all around us is temporal but heaven is eternal …………. 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

LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. | EXODUS 3 : 5, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19, JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/biLOy7x5CZQ

“LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask GOD to think through you, live through you, love through you. GOD’S own Being is alive within you in the form of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Holy Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, GOD’S streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to HIM as you listen to others.”

Scripture

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5 

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19 

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who is God and knows everything about everything, past, present, and future – and who lives in me. Holy Spirit think through me, live through me, and love through me – help me to listen and speak the words you give me. Help me to be a beacon of light in the darkness. In JESUS CHRIST’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭11 : 28

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11 : 28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you ever feel that all you do is Go,Go,Go ? I think we all do. The world today has become a microwave society and I believe that when we are in our twilight years we will be filled with regret that life has passed us by. Today’s prayer is that we would take our burdens to The Lord, make the choice to have communion with HIM daily, decide what things are important and what things are just consuming space ……. Be Blessed

Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7

For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Oh to be pleasing to GOD, HE loves when we become more like HIS Son. The way we think determines the way we act, for example if we look at the negative in all situations we will become negative, if we look at the positives we will become positive. Today’s prayer is that we would be bright witnesses to the positive change having Jesus Christ as the cornerstone in our lives and let all know it’s waiting for them as well ……. Be Blessed

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 an 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
