‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭22-23

“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. ‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭22-23‬ NLT

Jesus said he gave us perfect unity so that our witness will be different from the world, how is your witness working out? Do you respond to situations like someone who doesn’t know Jesus? Or do you respond with the values of the promise he gave us? Today I pray that our responses would be filled with faith and on the foundation of God’s living word and promise…..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

BE WILLING TO FOLLOW wherever GOD leads. – 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, PSALM 96 : 6, JOHN 8 : 12, PSALM 36 : 9

“BE WILLING TO FOLLOW wherever GOD leads. Follow GOD wholeheartedly, with glad anticipation quickening your pace. Though you don’t know what lies ahead, GOD knows; and that is enough! Some of GOD’S richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight, but nonetheless very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith-—not by sight. This doesn’t mean closing your eyes to what is all around you. It means subordinating the visible world to the invisible Shepherd of your soul. Sometimes The LORD leads you up a high mountain with only HIS hand to support you. The higher you climb, the more spectacular the view becomes; also, the more keenly you sense your separation from the world with all its problems. This frees you to experience exuberantly the joyous reality of GOD’s Presence. Give yourself fully to these Glory-moments, awash in dazzling Light. GOD will eventually lead you down the mountain, back into community with others. Let The LORD’s Light continue to shine within you as you walk among people again.”

Scripture

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. PSALM 96 : 6

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me how to be in your presence, to have face-to-face, spirit to spirit connection with you. To rest in you, to be refreshed by you, and to have joy unending in your presence. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭56‬ : ‭3-4

But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? Psalms‬ ‭56‬:‭3-4‬ NLT

What are you afraid of ? What is it that worries you? What makes you fret? Today’s prayer is that you will put all your trust in God, he always has your back in all situations……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

Acts ‭9‬:‭1-6‬

Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” ‭Acts ‭9‬:‭1-6‬ NLT

Saul was one of the most dangerous threats to the Christians of all times, but God had a major plan for him. The transformation from Saul to Paul was amazing and God is still transforming people in the same way today. Paul went on to write more than half of the New Testament and is considered one of the greatest apostles of Christ. Today’s prayer is that God would work that same miracle in the ones that persecute the Christians today and that they would see the Lord for who he is……Be Blessed

REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19, 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27

“REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world’s most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in GOD’S Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons . . . anywhere. Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with GOD. Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but GOD will help you with them. If you make problem-solving secondary to the goal of living close to GOD, you can find Joy even in your most difficult days.”

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. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 19

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place. 1 CHRONICLES 16 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank you for reminding me that true joy is a by-product of living in your presence. Teach me how to live more often in your presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. ‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ NLT

Are you feeling defeated today? Do you feel like you are in a hole so deep you will never get out? God’s promise is that he has the situation in control, we may not see a way but God has all the ways. Today I pray that we would put our trust in the Lord and understand that his ways are not our ways most of the time……….. Be Blessed and Trust in the Lord

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 THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. – JOHN 14 : 16 – 17, JOHN 16 : 7, ZECHARIAH 4 : 6

“GOD IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although GOD is unimaginably vast, GOD chooses to dwell within you, permeating you with HIS Presence. Only in the spirit realm could someone so infinitely great live within someone so very small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of GOD’S Holy Spirit within you! Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask. When the path before you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on GOD. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask GOD’s Holy Spirit to help you as you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious Source of strength within you.

Scripture

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” JOHN 14 : 16 – 17 (NKJV)

“But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” JOHN 16 : 7

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.” ZECHARIAH 4 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, you are amazing. Not only did you send your one and only son to die for my sins, through that sacrifice, you provided a way for me to talk with you anytime, anywhere and you gave me your Holy Spirit to abide with me and in me as my counselor and helper. You are so good Lord. Thank you. Thank you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭10:29-31‬

“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” Matthew‬ ‭10:29-31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you ever feel unworthy? Ever wonder if you’re good enough? Well you can be assured by man’s standards you will probably never be good enough, but by God almighty’s standard you are perfect. Today’s prayer is that we would live to please God !! Live by God’s example….. Be Blessed

WHEN MANY THINGS SEEM to be going wrong, trust GOD. – PSALM 13 : 5, EPHESIANS 5 : 20

“WHEN MANY THINGS SEEM to be going wrong, trust GOD. When your life feels increasingly out of control, thank GOD. These are supernatural responses, and they can lift you above your circumstances. If you do what comes naturally in the face of difficulties, you may fall prey to negativism. Even a few complaints can set you on a path that is a downward spiral, by darkening your perspective and mind-set. With this attitude controlling you, complaints flow more and more readily from your mouth. Each one moves you steadily down the slippery spiral. The lower you go, the faster you slide; but it is still possible to apply brakes. Cry out to The LORD in HIS Name! Affirm your trust in GOD, regardless of how you feel. Thank The LORD for everything, though this seems unnatural—even irrational. Gradually you will begin to ascend, recovering your lost ground. When you are back on level ground , you can face your circumstances from a humble perspective. If you choose supernatural responses this time — trusting and thanking GOD — you will experience HIS unfathomable Peace.”

Scripture

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, when many things seem to be going wrong and I don’t understand, help me to trust you and even thank you. And search for a lesson or growth opportunity you have for me in the circumstance. More of you and less of me Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2‬ NLT

Is today that day? Do you have a friend or loved one that doesn’t know The Lord ? Well today is that day. We as Christians can not save people, but be used as a conduit for God to reach the unsaved. Our job is to witness by our actions, the love we show, and not only what we do when others are watching, but when they’re not. God has a use for each and everyone of us!!!! Ask him to show you. Today I pray that we would boldly witness to all that are unsaved and on a road to destruction and make today that day for someone……In Jesus name…….be blessed
