DO NOT SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. | ISAIAH 26 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

https://youtu.be/pBmmv0K2Ano

“DO NOT SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental checklists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become. There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your checklist, focus your attention on GOD’S Presence with you. This continual contact with GOD will keep you in HIS Peace. Moreover, GOD will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me stop chasing peace through getting everything done. Teach me to focus on You instead of my endless to-do list. Bring clarity to what matters today and keep my heart steady in Your presence. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭15‬ :‭ 13‬

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. ‭Romans‬ ‭15‬ :‭ 13‬ NLT

Are you feeling anxious about something? Praying for change in your life? In this scripture Paul writes about hope through the power of The Holy Spirit. Human nature is we always want to try to figure out WHY!!!! And I believe sometimes it benefits us not to know. Today I pray that we would seek the guidance of The Holy Spirit and trust in the hope that GOD has given us ….. 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

COME TO GOD for all that you need. | PSALM 95 : 2, 1 JOHN 1 : 5

https://youtu.be/V6isQn1X6Mg

“COME TO GOD for all that you need. Come into GOD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to The LORD’S treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that GOD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that The LORD who controls your life is completely trustworthy. Come to GOD with confident expectation. There is nothing you need that HE cannot provide.”

Scripture

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

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are not just loving you ARE love and light. Thank you for your gift of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. For flowers blooming, birds singing, and hearts still pumping. Thank you for providing for all my needs. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6 : 6‬

“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6 : 6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you finding yourself dabbling in sin? The reality is your sin nature was done away with when you made JESUS CHRIST, The LORD of your life. The world will try to convince you it’s ok, but you know that the wages of sin is death. Today’s prayer is that when temptation arises we would pray for strength to overcome In JESUS CHRIST’S Name …… 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

MEET GOD IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of HIS Presence. | PSALM 29 : 2, 1 PETER 1 : 8

https://youtu.be/UvcnUjZtcOA

“MEET GOD IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of HIS Presence. Worship GOD in the beauty of holiness. Sing love songs to GOD’S Holy Name. As you give yourself to GOD, The LORD’S Holy Spirit swells up within you till you are flooded with divine Presence. The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain GOD’S riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to The LORD and HIS ways, the more GOD fills you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy.”

Scripture

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV) 

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 PETER 1 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I give myself to you anew today. As I do, I feel your Spirit swelling within me, filling me with your peace and joy, until I am flooded with your presence. Help me attain your riches by letting go and giving. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Colossians‬ ‭2 : 14 – 15‬

“having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2 : 14 – 15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Let the redeemed of The Lord say so!!!! This scripture is so comforting. The law of Moses required you to do good to get good, and if you did bad you got bad, thank you Lord for The Cross!!! Although the law was perfect and Holy “News Flash” none of us are and GOD knows this. Therefore from the beginning JESUS CHRIST was. Today’s prayer is that we receive we are righteous by the blood of The Lamb and forever redeemed by The Cross ……. In JESUS CHRIST’S name Be Blessed

YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. | LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/WDjQfNCIlw8

“YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. There is no randomness about your life. Here and Now comprise the coordinates of your daily life. Most people let their moments slip through their fingers, half-lived. They avoid the present by worrying about the future or longing for a better time and place. They forget that they are creatures who are subject to the limitations of time and space. They forget their Creator, who walks with them only in the present. Every moment is alive with GOD’S glorious Presence, to those whose hearts are intimately connected with HIS. As you give yourself more and more to a life of constant communion with The LORD, you will find that you simply have no time for worry. Thus, you are freed to let GOD’S Holy Spirit direct your steps, enabling you to walk along the path of Peace.”

Scripture

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26 “

. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank You for reminding me that my life isn’t random—that You’ve placed me exactly where I am for a purpose. Help me stay present with You, trusting that Your Spirit is guiding my steps. Teach me to let go of worry and walk in Your peace today. Amen.

1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 16 – 18‬

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 16 – 18‬ NLT

To have a joyful heart is to know how blessed you are, to pray in all circumstances is to acknowledge that JESUS CHRIST is in control, to give thanks in all circumstances is our reasonable service for what GOD has done for us… Today I pray that all would be joyful, thankful, and pray through all situations …… Be Blessed

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22 : 9 – 13

“When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22 : 9 – 13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Can you imagine being so obedient to God that you would sacrifice your own son? Abraham was. This scripture is a type and shadow of Jesus on the cross. The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed, God loved us so much that he gave his only begotten Son as the ultimate sacrifice for those who call upon his name. God does not expect us to show our faith in him by sacrificing our own children, because he is full of grace, but he does expect us to offer ourselves to him as a living sacrifice daily by the way we live. Today’s prayer is that we would thank God for his amazing grace and renew our minds daily to live in Gods will for our lives ……. Be Blessed

James‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 14 – 15‬

but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. ‭James‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 14 – 15‬ NIV

You know that feeling you get when you’re about to do something wrong? And to confirm that feeling the result of that action is always bad. The result may not come in the way of an immediate disaster but the conviction and guilt will surely come. Today’s prayer is that we would live to uphold GOD’S Word in all we do and that temptation would have no place in our lives….. Be Blessed
