FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. | EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10, ​MATTHEW 23 : 8, MATTHEW 6 : 1

“FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. You can have only one Master. When you let others’ expectations drive you, you scatter your energy to the winds. Your own desire to look good can also drain your energy. GOD is your Master, and GOD does not drive you to be what you are not. Your pretense displeases The LORD, especially when it is in HIS “service.” Concentrate on staying close to GOD at all times. It is impossible to be inauthentic while you are focusing on The LORD’S Presence.”

Scripture

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10 

“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.” MATTHEW 23 : 8 

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” MATTHEW 6 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: God, search me and check my heart. Show me the broken places where I’m seeking to please myself or others above you. Help me to deal with them for my good and your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20‬ :‭ 24‬

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20‬ :‭ 24‬ NLT

Grace is an undeserved favor, Grace is everlasting forgiveness,Grace is JESUS CHRIST. This scripture talks about “How can you not tell everyone you meet about Grace?”. What good is your life if you don’t tell how you got it? Today I pray that we all would tell everyone about GOD’S great Grace and HIS name is JESUS CHRIST …… 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

REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. | PROVERBS 3 : 5, ISAIAH 30 : 15

“REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it. When you relax in GOD’S company, you are demonstrating trust in GOD. Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life. The LORD wants you to lean on, trust, and be confident in HIM. When you lean on GOD for support, HE delights in your trusting confidence. Many people turn away from The LORD when they are exhausted. They associate GOD with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from GOD’S Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens The LORD! As GOD spoke through HIS prophet Isaiah: “In returning to The LORD and resting in HIM you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.”

Scripture

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5

For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. But you were unwilling, ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to rest in you when I’m tired and need refreshment. Quietness and trust in you is my strength. You alone can satisfy my thirsty soul. Create in me a desire to grow closer to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 16 – 17

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. Galatians‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 16 – 17‬ NLT

Need direction? Always trying to do better but seem to stay the same? This scripture says to let The Holy Spirit direct you and then you won’t be caught in the sinful nature. Today I pray we all would let The Holy Spirit direct our paths and see how life becomes more fulfilling ……. Be Blessed

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find all that you have longed for. | PSALM 42 : 1 – 2, PSALM 34 : 5, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 15

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find all that you have longed for. The deepest yearnings of your heart are for intimacy with The LORD. GOD knows, because GOD designed you to desire HIM. Do not feel guilty about taking time to be still in The LORD’S Presence. You are simply responding to the tugs of divinity within you. GOD made you in HIS image, and GOD hid Heaven in your heart. Your yearning for The LORD is a form of homesickness: longing for your true home in heaven. Do not be afraid to be different from other people. The path GOD has called you to travel is exquisitely right for you. The more closely you follow The LORD’S leading, the more fully HE can develop your gifts. To follow GOD wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your desire to please other people. However, your closeness to GOD will bless others by enabling you to shine brightly in this dark world.”

Scripture

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? PSALM 42 : 1 – 2

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. PSALM 34 : 5

. . . so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, draw my heart closer to You and help me seek You above everything else. Free me from the need to please others, and give me the courage to follow wherever You lead. As I walk closely with You, let my life reflect Your love and bring You glory. Amen.

Romans 8 : 5

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. Romans 8 : 5 NKJV

Living in the world today makes it tough to not conform to the ways of the world . It was never meant for the Christian to live like the world. In this scripture it says if you live by the flesh you will do things of the flesh such as lust,corruption, bad attitude, etc ….. But The Holy Spirit within us is the spirit of JESUS CHRIST and that Spirit is perfect. Today’s prayer is that we would Listen to what The Holy Spirit is telling us and confess with your mouth you are perfected by the spirit that lives within you!!!! Watch how the fleshly desires fade away …….. Be Blessed!!

COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. | SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13, LUKE 10 : 42

“COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. The world, with its nonstop demands, can be put on hold. Most people put The LORD on hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on HIM. But the longer people push GOD into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find HIM. You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives. Even those who know GOD as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world. They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity. GOD has called you to follow HIM on a solitary path, making time alone with The LORD your highest priority and deepest Joy. It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised. However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you. Moreover, as you walk close to GOD, HE can bless others through you.”

Scripture

The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13

“But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 42

Prayer

Prayer: God, draw me away from the noise and hurry of the world. Teach me to treasure quiet time with You more than anything else. Help me resist the pull of busyness and remember that You are my deepest joy. As I walk closely with You, bless others through me. Amen.

Ecclesiastes ‭3 ‬: ‭1‬

Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. ‭Ecclesiastes ‭3 ‬: ‭1‬ GNT

Are you waiting for something to happen? Praying for something new ? Are you wondering “Is GOD listening?”. In this scripture it says in GOD’S timing. Sometimes what we are wanting or praying for doesn’t come when we expect, but it arrives at just the right time — in GOD’S perfect timing. JESUS CHRIST always prayed if it be Your will Father, so should we. Today I pray that we would understand that GOD has us where we are for a reason, and in HIS timing GOD will give us the desires of our hearts, there is a reason for the season you’re in ….. Pray hard and listen …… Be Blessed

‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭8 : 1

“Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel.” ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭8 : 1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

People have been craving GOD’S Word since the beginning, and I believe that is still the case. I believe there are a lot of Christians that are intimidated by churches today because of the lack of welcome and the lack of the truth of GOD’S Word. Today’s prayer is that we would all welcome newcomers into our church and make sure they feel like part of a family …… Be Blessed and this Sunday welcome someone you don’t know

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

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬ :‭ 16 – 17‬

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬ :‭ 16 – 17‬ NIV

What is encouraging to you? The word Encourage means to give support, confidence, give hope. GOD has given us encouragement through HIS Son JESUS CHRIST and that’s all we need. Today’s prayer is that we would stay focused on Encouraging promise that The LORD, JESUS CHRIST gave us, don’t look to the world for hope, look to The LORD for eternal hope …….. Be Blessed !
