“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
“LET GOD’S LOVE STREAM THROUGH YOU, washing away fear and distrust. A trusting response includes GOD in your thoughts as you consider strategies to deal with a situation. GOD’S continual Presence is a promise, guaranteeing that you never have to face anything alone. GOD’S children teethe on the truth that The LORD is always with them, yet they stumble around in a stupor, unaware of GOD’S loving Presence all around them. How that grieves The LORD! When you walk through a day in trusting dependence on GOD, HIS aching heart is soothed. Gently bring your attention back to GOD whenever it wanders away. GOD looks for persistence — rather than perfection — in your walk with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
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
“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
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. EPHESIANS 4 : 30
Prayer: Lord, may your love stream through me, overflowing to those around me. Thank you that I never have to face anything alone. You are always with me and for me. When my attention wanders, gently bring me back to you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. (Colossians 3:13 NLT)
I see so much unforgiving attitudes it’s amazing, we all at some point have been wronged beyond belief but think about how wrong our sin was that has been forgiven by God!!!!! Today I pray that we all would have the heart of Jesus and forgive anyone who has wronged us, I believe that is so pleasing to our Lord because it truly shows our likeness of Jesus……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
“THANK GOD for the very things that are troubling you. You are on the brink of rebellion, precariously close to shaking your fist in GOD’S Face. You are tempted to indulge in just a little complaining about GOD’S treatment of you. But once you step over that line, torrents of rage and self-pity can sweep you away. The best protection against this indulgence is thanksgiving. It is impossible to thank GOD and curse HIM at the same time. Thanking GOD for trials will feel awkward and contrived at first. But if you persist, your thankful words, prayed in faith, will eventually make a difference in your heart. Thankfulness awakens you to GOD’S Presence, which overshadows all your problems.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17 (NKJV)
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4 – 6
Prayer: God open my eyes to all the blessings around me. Help me to have a grateful heart and thank you for everything good because it comes from you. Then when trials come I will have reserves. When I feel anxious, gently bring me back to my center, Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” (Psalms 31:14 NLT)
Trust is a character that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand Gods love for you it’s easy to trust him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in the Lord and not in the things of the world…….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
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3 NLT
What are you thinking about? Are you focused on the problem? Are you thinking of all the things around you that are in a struggle? This scripture says to keep focus on The Lord and he will give you perfect peace!!! Not just peace but PERFECT peace. Today I pray that we would focus on Jesus ( the solution) not the problem, and rest in the lords finished work……Be Blessed

“GOD IS THE FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate HIS Presence. This is GOD’S high and holy calling for you; receive it as a precious gift. Glorifying and enjoying GOD is a higher priority than maintaining a tidy, structured life. Give up your striving to keep everything under control—an impossible task and a waste of precious energy. The LORD’S guidance for each of HIS children is unique. That’s why listening to GOD is so vital for your well-being. Let The LORD prepare you for the day that awaits you and point you in the right direction. GOD is with you continually, so don’t be intimidated by fear. Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to The LORD’S hand. Keep your eyes on GOD, enjoying Peace in The LORD’S Presence.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. PSALM 5 : 11
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. JUDE 1 : 24 – 25
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

“YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. GOD choose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with HIM along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with GOD, instead of trying to anticipate HIS plans for you. If you trust that GOD’S plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment. Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes GOD grants you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to THE LORD. GOD sets the pace in keeping with your needs and HIS purposes.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. EPHESIANS 1 : 4 (NKJV)
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14
Prayer: Lord thank you that nothing can separate me from your love. I am sealed for eternity, marked as chosen, holy, and dearly loved because of Jesus. Thank you for the Holy Spirit in me, reminding me of your promises and teaching me to be more like Christ everyday. Your grateful child. Amen.
“And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:14 ESV This scripture speaks such volume! In today’s society there are so many different opinions of what a God is. There are religions that worship objects, animals, Suns , moons, etc. The truth is there is only one true living God and every person will at some point have the opportunity to call upon his name. Today’s prayer is that we would be the disciples that Jesus called us to be, witness to all and educate them of 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
“LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that God is with you. When you desire GOD’S will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor GOD’S responsibilities—things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so GOD delights in hearing HIS children laugh. GOD rejoices when you trust HIM enough to enjoy your life light-heartedly. Do not miss the Joy of GOD’S Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take The LORD’S yoke upon you and learn from HIM. GOD’S yoke is comfortable and pleasant; HIS burden is light and easily borne.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. PROVERBS 31 : 25
“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29 (ESV2001)
Prayer: Lord help me to laugh at myself more freely. To relax and let you fill me with your peace and joy. To remember you want me to live an abundant life with you both here and now and in Heaven. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
