https://youtu.be/0qjiRgdHSA8

“GOD IS CREATING something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. Do not mistake this Joy for your own or try to take credit for it in any way. Instead, watch in delight as GOD’S Holy Spirit flows through you to bless others. Let yourself become a reservoir of the Spirit’s fruit. Your part is to live close to GOD, open to all that The LORD is doing in you. Don’t try to control the streaming of GOD’S Holy Spirit through you. Just keep focusing on GOD as you walk through this day together. Enjoy GOD’S Presence, which permeates you with Love, Joy, and Peace.”

Scripture

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” JOHN 3 : 8

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23a

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, when I saturate myself in you, you create a spring of joy in me that spills over into others lives. Help me enjoy and recognize your presence more this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭4 : 8

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To draw near to God is to seek him in all you do. God draws near to those who seek to be more like his son in all they do. Being a double minded person is to say one thing and do another, who are you? Today’s prayer is that we would seek God’s ways in all we do,say, and are……..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 HELP YOU get through this day. – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/gG0GB8gdJwI

“LET GOD HELP YOU get through this day. There are many possible paths to travel between getting up in the morning and lying down at night. Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of GOD’S Presence. You will get through this day one way or the other. One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet. This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with GOD along the path of Peace, leaning on GOD as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in GOD’S strength. Thank The LORD for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how GOD transforms trials into blessings.”

Scripture

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10 “

. . . 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 help me to walk with you on the path of peace, leaning on you the whole way. Thank you for transforming my trials into blessings. Nothing is wasted with you Lord. For your glory and my good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬ : ‭6 – 7

Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬ : ‭6 – 7‬ NLT

How’s your seed supply? This scripture says to give plenty and to do it with a cheerful heart. Helping others in need is a huge part of our daily lives, God will always provide for his children so trust and have faith. Today I pray that all would be generous, and with a happy heart, and remember giving is not just money, it may be a word of encouragement……..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

TRUST GOD and don’t be afraid, for GOD is your Strength and Song. – ISAIAH 12 : 2, ROMANS 8 : 6

https://youtu.be/-1tNgWU8LUs

“TRUST GOD and don’t be afraid, for GOD is your Strength and Song. Do not let fear dissipate your energy. Instead, invest your energy in trusting The LORD and singing HIS Song. The battle for control of your mind is fierce, and years of worry have made you vulnerable to the enemy. Therefore, you need to be vigilant in guarding your thoughts. Do not despise this weakness in yourself, since GOD is using it to draw you closer to HIM. Your constant need for GOD creates an intimacy that is well worth all the effort. You are not alone in this struggle for your mind. GOD’S Holy Spirit living within you is ever ready to help in this striving. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to control your mind; The LORD will bless you with Life and Peace.”

Scripture

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to invest my energy in trusting you and singing your song. Help me to be vigilant to guard my thoughts. Holy Spirit, control my mind and fill me with life and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This parable has always ministered to me in a eye opening way. This relates to choice, The choice to believe or not believe. To live among the weeds can be a negative or a positive, if we take the opportunity to witness the Gospel it’s a positive, if we choose to let them affect us then it becomes a negative. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that God leaves the weeds until his time comes, God wants not one to Be lost but all to be saved……. Take the opportunity to witness and Be Blessed

REST IN ME, MY CHILD. – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, PSALM 62 : 5

https://youtu.be/m3TA_ikud-k

“REST IN ME, MY CHILD. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking My Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with Me. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don’t even feel the strong grip of My hand holding yours. How foolish you are, My child! Remembrance of Me is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of My Presence with you. This will keep you resting in Me all day, every day.” – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Scripture

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. PSALM 62 : 5

Prayer: Holy Spirit, take charge of the details of my day today. Help me to rest in you, knowing you have every detail covered. No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together, and you will fight my battles for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD IS ALL AROUND YOU, like a cocoon of Light. – LUKE 12 : 22 – 31, JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/UGWRLkNFic8

“GOD IS ALL AROUND YOU, like a cocoon of Light. GOD’S Presence with you is a promise, independent of your awareness of HIM. Many things can block this awareness, but the major culprit is worry. GOD’S children tend to accept worry as an inescapable fact of life. However, worry is a form of unbelief; it is anathema to The LORD. Who is in charge of your life? If it is you, then you have good reason to worry. But if it is GOD, then worry is both unnecessary and counterproductive. When you start to feel anxious about something, relinquish the situation to GOD. Back off a bit, redirecting your focus to The LORD. HE will either take care of the problem Himself or show you how to handle it. In this world you will have problems, but you need not lose sight of GOD.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 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? “Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” LUKE 12 : 22 – 31

“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

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for surrounding me with your light and love. Help me to remember when I get anxious or worry to step back and hand the situation to you. You want me to give you my problems and in return you give me peace and joy. What a good Father you are. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34

“Righteousness makes a nation great; sin is a disgrace to any nation.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34‬ ‭GNT‬‬

It’s time for America to wake up!!! We see all the horrible things daily on the news and maybe even with our own eyes, could it be because America has turned away from God? I believe so. Today’s prayer is that as Christians we would pray that the Nation would repent and turn back to God so that he will have his hand upon America again…….Be Blessed
