Daily Devotional Video 6/29/2020 – PSALM 5 : 30, PSALM 63 : 1, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

“AS YOU GET OUT OF BED in the morning, be aware of GOD’S Presence with you. You may not be thinking clearly yet, but GOD is. Your early morning thoughts tend to be anxious ones until you get connected with GOD. Invite GOD into your thoughts by whispering HIS Name. Suddenly your day brightens and feels more user-friendly. You cannot dread a day that is vibrant with GOD’S Presence. You gain confidence through knowing that GOD is with you— that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?” The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and GOD together can handle anything that occurs. It is this you-and-GOD-together factor that gives you confidence to face the day cheerfully.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. PSALM 5 : 30

God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. PSALM 63 : 1 (NKJV)

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

Personal Note: For the last few years part of my personal workday morning routine has been combining morning prayer & Bible Study with the morning coffee before the rest of my family wakes up and the day begins. This gets my mind and soul right for the day and makes it impossible to begin a day with stress – Give the LORD the 1st of your day and the rest of the day becomes easier.

Prayer: Lord you are my God, early each day I will seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. Nothing on this earth can fill the void in me, it is only you that can fill me Jesus. Help me turn to you more this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭15:13

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you have a friend that would lay their life for you? But the strange thing is we put our trust in them. Jesus calls us friends and he did in fact lay his life down for us, that we could live a life of freedom. Today’s prayer is that we would put our total trust in Lord Jesus he is our eternal BFF………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

John‬ ‭19:16-18

“Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.”
‭‭John‬ ‭19:16-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Can you even imagine the King of Kings carried his own cross to his crucifixion. Jesus did nothing wrong in all his time on earth but was charged with so many false accusations. In our daily lives we also can be slandered, and how much more do we deserve it than Jesus? This is where Amazing Grace and unconditional love walked in. Today’s prayer is when times get rough we pick up our Cross and walk right to the arms of the savior, he’s always waiting with arms wide open………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

John 10:10

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

The thief in this passage is the Devil!!! He wants to bring ” doom and gloom” on your whole surroundings. He wants you to feel broke, alone , not good enough , just plain broken. Jesus however says I give you life to the fullest, in abundance ( more than enough) money, happiness, peace, everything. Today who are you gonna believe ? I choose to take the gift that was given to me on the cross LIFE………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

Daily Devotional Video 6/26/2020 – PSALM 23 : 1 – 4 , 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

https://youtu.be/Dq0CPJWdEwE

“STAY CALMLY conscious of GOD today, no matter what. Remember that GOD goes before you as well as with you into the day. Nothing takes GOD by surprise. The LORD will not allow circumstances to overwhelm you, so long as you look to HIM. GOD will help you cope with whatever the moment presents. Collaborating with GOD brings blessings that far outweigh all your troubles. Awareness of The LORD’S Presence contains Joy that can endure all eventualities.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 1 – 4 (NKJV)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 17

Prayer: Lord when circumstances threaten to overwhelm me, help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus. To rely on your strength and not my own. You are with me every step of the way and will show me the way, one step at a time. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This scripture reminds us of the end times. The events going on in the world have been written about since the beginning. We need to have a stronger relationship we Jesus than ever. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for the world and its leaders, witness the gospel to everyone you can……..Be Blessed

https://youtu.be/CjSYF9yjcxc

“OPEN YOUR HANDS and your heart to receive this day as a precious gift from GOD. GOD begins each day with a sunrise, announcing HIS radiant Presence. By the time you rise from your bed, The LORD have already prepared the way before you. The LORD eagerly awaits your first conscious thought. The LORD rejoices when you glance HIS way. Bring GOD the gift of thanksgiving, which opens your heart to rich communion with HIM. Because The LORD is God, from whom all blessings flow, thankfulness is the best way to draw near GOD. Sing praise songs to GOD; tell of HIS wondrous works. Remember that GOD takes great delight in you; GOD rejoices over you with singing.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17

Prayer: God help me to start my day with thanksgiving, which opens my heart to rich communion with you. You are the great I Am, and yet you also call me your friend. I’m so grateful for all that you have done and are doing for me Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 6/24/2020 – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 62 : 5 – 6

https://youtu.be/qG98fUc5wL4

“HOLD THE LORD’S HAND—AND TRUST. So long as you are conscious of GOD’S Presence with you, all is well. It is virtually impossible to stumble while walking in the Light with GOD. GOD designed you to enjoy HIM above all else. You find the deepest fulfilment of your heart in GOD alone. Fearful, anxious thoughts melt away in the Light of The LORD’S Presence. When you turn away from GOD, you are vulnerable to the darkness that is always at work in the world. Don’t be surprised by how easily you sin when you forget to cling to GOD’S hand. In the world, dependency is seen as immaturity. But in GOD’S kingdom, dependence on The LORD is a prime measure of maturity.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. PSALM 62 : 5 – 6

Prayer: Lord help me to find the deepest fulfilment of my heart in you alone. Teach me to enjoy you above all else. To find rest, hope, and strength in your loving arms. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭2:19

“Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”” John‬ ‭2:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus made this statement and no one had a clue what he was saying, Jesus spoke in parables throughout his whole ministry and yet no one was listening with spiritual ears. I believe today the same happens when the word of God is read and that is why there is so many options and interpretations. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for spiritual ears and eyes to truly understand Gods word…….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
