WORSHIP GOD ONLY. – PSALM 112 : 7, 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 11

https://youtu.be/wKL1n1h3Pac

“WORSHIP GOD ONLY. Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god. Worries, if indulged, develop into idols. Anxiety gains a life of its own, parasitically infesting your mind. Break free from this bondage by affirming your trust in GOD and refreshing yourself in HIS Presence. What goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people. But GOD reads your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in HIM. GOD rejoices when your mind turns toward HIM. Guard your thoughts diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to GOD.”

Scripture

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. PSALM 112 : 7

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Holy Spirit guard my thoughts diligently today. I want you, your words and your thoughts to occupy my mind. When I start to drift into worrisome thoughts, gently bring me back to you – the prince of peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭14

But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” Psalms‬ ‭31‬:‭14‬ NLT

Trust is a characteristic that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s 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

KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON GOD. – PSALM 8 : 5, GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5, ISAIAH 26 : 3

https://youtu.be/umBvT8AFyng

“KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON GOD. GOD has gifted you with amazing freedom, including the ability to choose the focal point of your mind. Only the crown of GOD’S creation has such remarkable capability; this is a sign of being made in HIS image. Let the goal of this day be to bring every thought captive to The LORD. Whenever your mind wanders, lasso those thoughts and bring them into HIS Presence. In GOD’S radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away. Judgmental thoughts are unmasked as you bask in The LORD’S unconditional Love. Confused ideas are untangled while you rest in the simplicity of GOD’S Peace. The LORD will guard you and keep you in constant Peace, as you focus your mind on HIM.”

Scripture

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. PSALM 8 : 5

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

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3

Prayer

Prayer: Lord what a privilege to be able to choose how to focus my mind, that which only humans, your image-bearers can do. Give me the strength and confidence to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. In Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19

“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to God? I see so many Christians that let the world’s circumstances destroy their faith in the Lord. The Bible tells us that God is there through ALL! Not some! Today’s prayer is that we would always trust in the Lord no matter what the circumstances are………Be Blessed

2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Our lives are temporary but we have a spirit that is eternal. When we surround ourselves with things of the Lord our spirit is being renewed! Even though we may be graying and getting a few more wrinkles than we would like, our spirit looks like a newborn babe. Today’s prayer is that we would read God’s word daily, listen to worship music daily, be next to God daily…..Be Blessed

Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ NLT

Are great things happening in your life? Do you accomplish things that you never thought you could? Are you blessed beyond words? And the key, are you giving all the glory to God or taking all the credit yourself? Today I pray that we would recognize God in all of our victories and blessings and thank him continuously in all things…….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

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

https://youtu.be/a5jwU-hbR6A

“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 JESUS CHRIST, The LORD 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 GOD: the Perfect One. It is possible to enjoy GOD and glorify HIM in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, The LORD’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 GOD anyway. The LORD 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 to seek you more than a problem-free life. You told us in this life we will have trouble. My job is to trust you regardless of my circumstances by the power of your Holy Spirit in me. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. ‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭22-23‬ NLT

Today is a new day, every morning we get a fresh start. It may seem like the trials will never end but God is with us and his love and mercy never stop. Yesterday is gone, today is new. Today I pray that we would give God thanks for everyday and know that he will see us through…….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 ENFOLD YOU in the radiance of HIS Glory. – HEBREWS 13 : 15, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18, PSALM 73 : 23 – 24

https://youtu.be/N23D_y1OIAs

“LET GOD’S LOVE ENFOLD YOU in the radiance of HIS Glory. Sit still in the Light of GOD’S Presence, and receive HIS Peace. These quiet moments with GOD transcend time, accomplishing far more than you can imagine. Bring GOD the sacrifice of your time, and watch to see how abundantly The LORD blesses you and your loved ones. Through the intimacy of your relationship, you are being transformed from the inside out. As you keep your focus on The LORD, HE forms you into the one HE desires you to be. Your part is to yield to The LORD’s creative work in you, neither resisting it nor trying to speed it up. Enjoy the tempo of a God-breathed life by letting GOD set the pace. Hold GOD’s hand in childlike trust, and the way before you will open up step by step.”

Scripture

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. PSALM 73 : 23 – 24

Prayer

Prayer: Lord as I sit still with you, fill me with your peace. Bless my loved ones beyond anything we could ask or think or imagine as I bring you the sacrifice of my time. Help me to yield to your creative work in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1Thessalonians‬ ‭5:2‬

“For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.” ‭‭1Thessalonians‬ ‭5:2‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Are you ready? Is your family ready? This scripture speaks about the coming day of the Lord and how important it is to be ready. The importance people have put on protecting their home, car, possessions seems more important than their eternal life!!! When was the last time you heard someone say ” I’m good I will leave my car running at the mall with a note that says take me” that’s the same thing when someone says I’m good, I’m a good person, I don’t need that religion. Today’s prayer is that not only would we be ready but everyone that we can possibly prepare…….Be Blessed
