‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

The world can just straight out kick your butt!!! But will you let it? This scripture tells us that greater is Jesus that is in us than Satan who is in the world. Day by day can be rough but we have to confess this scripture when the trials arise. Today’s prayer is that we would not become prisoners to the evil ways of the world and fully understand our eternal future……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

A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18, PSALM 46 : 1

“A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive your hope. Thankfulness opens you up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral: ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of Love, which enables you to communicate intimately with GOD. A thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in The LORD JESUS CHRIST, your Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations. The LORD is your refuge and strength, an ever-present and well-proved help in trouble.”

Scripture

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. PSALM 46 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord no matter what goes on this week help me to have a thankful mind-set. To praise you on the mountain top and in the valley. May you be my focal point this Thanksgiving week and may I be a reflection of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. ‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. God’s plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve an all loving, caring, and protecting God…….Be Blessed

THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. – LUKE 24 : 36, MATTHEW 28 : 20, HEBREWS 13 : 15

“THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. These are gifts of supernatural proportions. Ever since the resurrection, The LORD Jesus Christ, has comforted HIS followers with these messages: Peace be with you, and The LORD is with you always. Listen as The LORD offers you HIS Peace and Presence in full measure. The best way to receive these glorious gifts is to thank GOD for them. It is impossible to spend too much time thanking and praising The LORD. GOD created you first and foremost to glorify HIM. Thanksgiving and praise put you in a proper relationship with GOD, opening the way for HIS riches to flow into you. As you thank The LORD for HIS Presence and Peace, you appropriate GOD’S richest gifts.”

Scripture

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” LUKE 24 : 36

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your presence and your peace. Every good and perfect gift comes from you. Your purpose for me is to live a rich and satisfying life in Christ for your glory. Help me to do so this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭23:26

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you gave your heart to Jesus life truly began. The day you gave your life to the Lord you were so full of joy, so full of doing what was right in the Lord’s eyes, are you still that committed or have you changed? The Lord says he delights in following his ways and so should we. Today’s prayer is that we would all do a once over and check our condition. Are we more on fire or has our flames dwindled to smoke…… Be Blessed and light that fire back up

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 PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. – EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19, PSALM 62 : 8

“GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. Allow yourself to become fully aware of GOD’S pleasure shining upon you. You don’t have to perform well in order to receive HIS Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from GOD, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don’t measure up to your expectations. Shift your focus from your performance to GOD’S radiant Presence. The Light of HIS Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love. Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank The LORD for everything; trust in GOD at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to The LORD’S loving Presence.”

Scripture

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that I don’t have to perform well to receive your love. Your love is unchangeable. Nothing I do could make you love me more or less. You are my constant rock on which I stand. Teach me to love like you do. Transform my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus came to save the world, not condemn it! Jesus went to the lost to show them the way to eternal life, some followed and some didn’t. Today it has remained the same, some follow and some have too much pride to understand they need a savior. Today’s prayer is that we would as believers pray for the lost not condemn them…….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

Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭17-18‬

God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. ‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭17-18‬ NLT

There are things we do that make us feel that we are unworthy to serve God. When we became Christians, that was sealed by the blood of Jesus on the Cross. God is not a changing God, he doesn’t disregard you when you miss the mark, I’m sure he is disappointed but still has everlasting love for you good and bad. Today’s prayer is that when we miss the mark we would go to God in repentance and ask by his Holy Spirit to instruct and fix that problem so that we can do bigger things for the kingdom…….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

LUKE‬ ‭6:38

“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” LUKE‬ ‭6:38‬ ‭NASB‬‬

This scripture is usually connected to financial gain, I believe this scripture describes everything in our lives. This scripture has always been ministered to me in the form of giving to others, blessing others, and most of all loving others. Today’s prayer is that we would meditate on this scripture and apply it to our lives the way we see fit…….Be Blessed

THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in GOD. – ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2, ISAIAH 30 : 21, JOHN 10 : 27, PSALM 23 : 1 – 3

“THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in GOD. The law of the Spirit of Life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Not many Christians know how to live in this radical freedom, which is their birthright. JESUS CHRIST, The LORD died to set you free; live freely in The LORD! To walk along the path of freedom, you must keep your mind firmly fixed on The LORD. Many voices proclaim: “This is the way for you to go,” but only GOD’S voice tells you the true way. If you follow the way of the world with all its glitter and glamour, you will descend deeper and deeper into an abyss. Christian voices also can lead you astray: “Do this!” “Don’t do that!” “Pray this way!” “Don’t pray that way!” If you listen to all those voices, you will become increasingly confused. Be content to be a simple sheep, listening for The LORD’S voice and following HIM. The LORD will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.”

Scripture

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

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 21

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27

The LORD is my shepherd, I have all I need. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to be content to be a simple sheep, listening for your voice and following only you. Thank you for dying in my place Jesus. You paid the ultimate price so I could have this freedom. Help me to live like I’m free. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
