“Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”” John 2:19
Jesus made this statement and no one had a clue what he was saying, Jesus spoke in parables throughout his whole ministry and yet no one was listening with spiritual ears. I believe today the same happens when the word of God is read and that is why there are so many options and interpretations. Today’s prayer is that we would pray for spiritual ears and eyes to truly understand God’s word…….Be Blessed
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
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 God’s 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
“GOD IS YOUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, an ever-present Help in trouble. Therefore, you don’t need to be afraid of anything—not even cataclysmic circumstances. The media are increasingly devoted to fear-inducing subject matter: terrorism, civil unrest, decisive politics, environmental catastrophes. If you focus on such dangers and forget that GOD is your Refuge in all circumstances, you will become increasingly fearful. Every day The LORD manifests HIS grace in countless places and situations, but the media takes no notice. GOD showers not only blessings but also outright miracles on our planet. As you grow closer to GOD, The LORD opens your eyes to see more and more of HIS Presence all around you. Things that most people hardly notice, like shifting shades of sunlight, fill you with heart-bursting Joy. You have eyes that see and ears that hear, so proclaim GOD’S abiding Presence in the world.”
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. PSALM 46 : 1 – 3
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15
Prayer: Lord thank you for the blessings and miracles you do everyday. Help me to have eyes to see and ears to hear you all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“GOD IS PREPARING YOU for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. Take time to be still in The LORD’S Presence so that HE can strengthen you. The busier you become, the more you need this time apart with GOD. So many people think that time spent with GOD is a luxury they cannot afford. As a result, they live and work in their own strength—until that becomes depleted. Then they either cry out to The LORD for help or turn away in bitterness. How much better it is to walk close to GOD, depending on HIS strength and trusting HIM in every situation. If you live in this way, you will do less but accomplish far more. Your unhurried pace of living will stand out in this rush-crazed age. Some people may deem you lazy, but many more will be blessed by your peacefulness. Walk in the Light with GOD, and you will reflect GOD to the watching world.”
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. ISAIAH 64 : 4
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9
Prayer: Lord help me to make time to be still in your presence so that you can strengthen me. Help me to walk slowly enough to experience You fully and reflect Jesus to a watching world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“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.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 NKJV
God is love, and love is God!!! Paul speaks about all the gifts which are so important but without love we have nothing, nada, zip!!! Today’s prayer is we would all examine our hearts and ask God to make sure we are filled with love…..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
“GOD’S LOVE IS THE GIFT that continuously gives—bounteously, with no strings attached. Unconditional Love is such a radical concept that even GOD’S most devoted followers fail to grasp it fully. Absolutely nothing in heaven or on earth can cause GOD to stop loving you. You may feel more loved when you are performing according to your expectations. But GOD’S Love for you is perfect; therefore it is not subject to variation. What does vary is your awareness of GOD’S loving Presence. When you are dissatisfied with your behavior, you tend to feel unworthy of The LORD’S Love. You may unconsciously punish yourself by withdrawing from GOD and attributing the distance between you to HIS displeasure. Instead of returning to The LORD and receiving CHRIST’S Love, you attempt to earn The LORD’s approval by trying harder. All the while, GOD is aching to hold you in HIS everlasting arms, to enfold you in HIS Love. When you are feeling unworthy or unloved, come to GOD. Then ask for receptivity to The LORD’s unfailing Love.”
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5
Prayer: God I trust you. You know the number of hairs on my head. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, regardless. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 NKJV
Oh the glorious birth of our King!!! Today is the most special day on a Christians calendar!! The birth of Jesus!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would all celebrate this glorious day by thanking God for Jesus and thanking Jesus for the Cross…..Be Blessed Merry CHRISTmas all
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
Merry Christmas to one and all!!!! As we celebrate and enjoy this day with our loved ones – do not forget or lose thought of that today is not about festivities and gifts – it is about Love – the love that God our creator had to send a part of him in the form of his son Jesus Christ to this earth in bodily form on this day in Bethlehem hundreds of years ago. The sole purpose of Christ’s birth and life on this Earth and eventual death on the cross and Resurrection was so that we could come to the Father through the Son and be washed by the blood of the Lamb. Just as we would give our lives to protect our loved ones so Christ gave his life to protect us. Do not let the day pass without telling Heavenly and Earthly ones that you love them.
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 NKJV
On this eve of Christ himself we should praise the day!!! Isaiah told us of this glorious day and here it is!!! Today’s prayer is we would thank God for the glorious day of the Lord and make the most of our time with family…….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 everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” Psalms 150:6 NKJV
This is Psalm 150, we have gone through every Psalm in the Bible for the last 150 days!!!! And how fitting is it to end them on “Praise The Lord”. Today’s prayer is that we would meditate on the Psalms as the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed…….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
