“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” Romans 10:17 NIV
Have you ever had faith in something or someone you have never heard about? Of course not, so if someone has not heard the good news of Jesus Christ how can they believe? By our witness that’s how. Today’s prayer is that we would boldly witness the gospel with courage and 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
“TRUST GOD by relinquishing control into HIS hands. Let go, and recognize that The LORD is GOD. This is HIS world: GOD made it and GOD controls it. Yours is a responsive part in the litany of Love. The LORD searches among HIS children for receptivity to HIM. Guard well this gift that GOD has planted in your heart. Nurture it with the Light of The LORD’S Presence. When you bring GOD prayer requests, lay out your concerns before HIM. Speak to GOD candidly; pour out your heart. Then thank The LORD for the answers that HE has set into motion long before you can discern results. When your requests come to mind again, continue to thank GOD for the answers that are on the way. If you keep on telling your concerns to GOD, you will live in a state of tension. When you thank GOD for how HE is answering your prayers, your mind-set becomes much more positive. Thankful prayers keep your focus on The LORD’S Presence and HIS promises.”
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
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 PETER 1 : 3 – 4
Prayer: Lord show me any area of my life I’m holding onto control and help me relinquish control into your far more capable hands. Thank you for the answers you have already set in motion. I look forward to seeing your mighty hand at work. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“EVERY TIME YOU AFFIRM YOUR TRUST IN GOD, you put a coin into HIS treasury. Thus you build up equity in preparation for days of trouble. The LORD keeps safely in HIS heart all trust invested in HIM, with interest compounded continuously. The more you trust GOD, the more GOD empowers you to do so. Practice trusting The LORD during quiet days, when nothing much seems to be happening. Then when storms come, your trust balance will be sufficient to see you through. Store up for yourself treasure in heaven, through placing your trust in GOD. This practice will keep you in The LORD’S Peace.”
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. MATTHEW 6 : 20 – 21
Prayer: Lord, I declare my trust in you. Though winds and storms may come I will stand firm on your good and trustworthy promises. In Jesus name. Amen.
“He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 NIV
This has always been one of my favorite scriptures, it’s very simple “put God first in everything” in the world today we live in a “Me” mentality and I believe that is the cause of the epic failure we see in society. Today’s prayer is simple put God first in everything you do and he will always be Greater……..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 WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. When you decide on a course of action that is in line with GOD’S will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop you. You may encounter many obstacles as you move toward your goal, but don’t be discouraged—never give up! With GOD’s help, you can overcome any obstacle. Do not expect an easy path as you journey hand in hand with The LORD, but do remember that GOD, your very-present Helper, is omnipotent. Much more stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways GOD asserts HIS sovereignty is in the timing of events. If you want to stay close to GOD and do things HIS way, ask The LORD to show you the path forward moment by moment. Instead of dashing headlong toward your goal, let GOD set the pace. Slow down, and enjoy the journey in THE LORD’S Presence.”
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? ROMANS 8 : 31
God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. PSALM 46 : 1 – 3 (NKJV)
“For nothing is impossible with God.” LUKE 1 : 37
Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me when the desires of my heart are in line with your will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop it from happening. Show me the path forward, moment by moment. In Jesus’ name. Amen
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NIV
Can you imagine if God had the patience we have? Wow we would all be doomed. God the father has called us home at all different times, he revealed himself to us all along the way if you look back and think, he is there for the sinner just as he is there for the saved. Today’s prayer is that we would remember our lives before God and let him use us to be a instrument to bringing a lost soul home……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
“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:7-10 NIV
My friends, this scripture sends not only a warning but also instruction. To be of a sober mind is to have the mind of Christ, and what kind of mind would that be? A mind that only serves the will of God. As for the end is near warning I fully believe this is true today as we look at all the situations in the world. Today’s prayer is that we would have the mind of Christ and walk a walk filled with love for all……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
“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
“GOD IS ABLE to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to GOD with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what HE can accomplish. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to control your mind, so that you can think great thoughts of The LORD. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon GOD, to trust HIM in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see GOD’S Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for GOD’S glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that The LORD is doing in your life.”
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20– 21
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. ISAIAH 40 : 30 – 31 (NKJV)
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” REVELATION 5 : 13
Prayer: God thank you for always doing far beyond what I could ask or imagine. Holy Spirit please guide my mind, so I can think great thoughts of You. And help me to view trials as setting the scene for your glorious intervention. Keep my eyes open to all you are doing in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. James 2:14-17 NLT
What do you do when you see someone in need? What is your first response? Do you feel the need to help or to just move on? The prompting of the Holy Spirit is always right there telling you what to do…… Today I pray that we would all take the time to help someone in need, Don’t be the judge whether or not they truly need it, just follow your heart….. Remember the true condition of a person’s heart is defined by their actions……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
