1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. (‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬ NLT)

Are you praying for someone you love? Are you praying for a casual friend? Are you praying for someone with a different belief other than Jesus? Are you praying for the leaders of the world? All of these should be on the prayer list. Paul was in prison in Rome yet he says pray for all because there is one God for all. Today I pray that we would all put aside any thought that someone does not need prayer, don’t just pray for friends and loved ones, pray for the non believer and the nations………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

ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. – PSALM 42 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4, JEREMIAH 31 : 25

https://youtu.be/PlVZxwJyEqw

“ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. By that, GOD means not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust GOD absolutely, resting in HIS sovereignty and faithfulness. On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem far greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives—giving up or relying on GOD. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, GOD will not reject you. You can turn to The LORD at any point, and HE will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. GOD will infuse HIS strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust GOD, by relying on HIS empowering Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior. . . . PSALM 42 : 5

For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you. 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” JEREMIAH 31 : 25

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you absolutely with my circumstances and the condition of my body. To rely on you on easy and tough days and not on my own strength. Infuse your strength in me moment by moment as you give me all I need for today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭1:6‬

“For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Psalms‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God knows your good deeds, your every move. Have you ever felt like you always do the right thing but are mocked by friends, co-workers? this is the persecution Jesus spoke about as believers. One of the hardest things to do is to let your light shine in the midst of persecution but when we do I’m sure it puts a big smile on Gods face. Today’s prayer is that we would only value the ways of the Lord and realize all the other stuff is just stuff……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

ENJOY THE WARMTH OF GOD’S PRESENCE shining upon you. – ISAIAH 61 : 10, ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2

https://youtu.be/Ya4v3qifvjk

“ENJOY THE WARMTH OF GOD’S PRESENCE shining upon you. Feel your face tingle as you bask in GOD’S Love-Light. GOD delights in you more than you can imagine. GOD approves of you continuously, for HE sees you cloaked in HIS Light, arrayed in HIS righteousness. There is no condemnation for those who are clothed in GOD! That is why The LORD abhors the use of guilt as a means of motivation among Christians. Some pastors try to whip their people into action with guilt-inducing sermons. This procedure can drive many people to work harder, but the end does not justify the means. Guilt-evoking messages can undermine the very foundation of grace in a believer’s heart. A pastor may feel successful when his people are doing more, but GOD looks at their hearts. The LORD grieves when HE sees grace eroding, with weeds of anxious works creeping in. GOD wants you to relax in the assurance of HIS perfect Love. The law of GOD’S Holy Spirit of Life has freed you from the law of sin and death.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2

Prayer: Jesus thank you for setting me free. Help me to live like I’m free and enjoy the warmth of your presence with me all the time. Help me to relax in the assurance of your perfect love and show the same unconditional love to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:11‬

“It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you ever think that your witness isn’t reaching anyone? Does it seem to just fall on deaf ears? Well couldn’t be further from the truth. This scripture says God’s word always produces fruit and it will accomplish exactly what God wants it too. Today’s prayer is that we would never stop witnessing the word and love of God because we may not see results but our father in Heaven sure does……..Be Blessed

1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭14

The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ NIV)

Isn’t it nice to know that you are forgiven? And not only forgiven but unconditionally loved. God loved us so much that he sent Jesus for everyone who declares him Lord and savior. When we miss the mark the devil jumps for joy knowing that condemnation will show up and pull us away from God, but when you truly understand Grace you will know that it empowers us to overcome our short comings and draw nearer to God. Today’s prayer is that we would truly understand Grace in its full measure, it’s not only unmerited favor it’s the power to overcome sin………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

Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4-5‬

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4-5‬ NLT)

Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and 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

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NKJV)

Are you loving people to Jesus or from Jesus?, our witness without love is worthless!!! Loving the lost to The Lord through our own witness is the most powerful thing there is. Today ask am I loving anything in front of telling people about the good news? As I am I’m sure all of you are. Lord help each one of us return to our first love, back to the day we first heard and wanted all to hear, Lord spark that fire in us that wins souls to you………..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 THE DEW OF GOD’S PRESENCE refresh your mind and heart. – PSALM 46 : 10, LUKE 10 : 39 – 42, 1 CORINTHIANS 14 : 33

https://youtu.be/D2hk7EyGsrw

“LET THE DEW OF GOD’S PRESENCE refresh your mind and heart. So many, many things vie for your attention in this complex world of instant communication. The world has changed enormously since GOD first gave the command to be still and know that THE LORD is God. However, this timeless truth is essential for the well-being of your soul. As dew refreshes grass and flowers during the stillness of the night, so GOD’S Presence revitalizes you as you sit quietly with HIM. A refreshed, revitalized mind is able to sort out what is important and what is not. In its natural condition, your mind easily gets stuck on trivial matters. Like the spinning wheels of a car trapped in mud, the cogs of your brain spin impotently when you focus on a trivial thing. As soon as you start communicating with GOD about the matter, your thoughts gain traction and you can move on to more important things. Communicate with GOD continually, and The LORD will put HIS thoughts into your mind.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” PSALM 46 : 10

She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 39 – 42

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 1 CORINTHIANS 14 : 33 (NKJV)

Prayer: Revitalize my mind Lord as I spend quiet time with you. Refresh me and allow me sort out what is important and what is not today. Give me your perspective and heart to see circumstances and others through new eyes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭16

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬ NIV

What are your priorities? Are you striving to be noticed for what you do? who you are?what you have?. This scripture talks about wanting from this world, when our wants and desires should come only from the Father. Today’s prayer is that we would prioritize how we operate and only be concerned with how we measure up in Gods eyes, and that is Perfect……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
