Luke‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 29 – 32‬

Later, Levi held a banquet in his home with Jesus as the guest of honor. Many of Levi’s fellow tax collectors and other guests also ate with them. But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum? ” Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.” Luke‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 29 – 32‬ NLT

Have you put yourself in a Christian bubble? Do you only associate with other believers ? When is the last time you saw someone living in sin and told them that JESUS CHRIST loves them? JESUS CHRIST took a lot of criticism for eating with the sinners at Matthew’s house, but have you ever wondered what were the Pharisees doing there?. The person who portrays that they are so righteous may need the most witness. Today I pray that we would all love equal! Believer and Non believer, to be more like JESUS CHRIST we have to love the sinner, but not the sin …… 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

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. | PSALM 27 : 8, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, JEREMIAH 29 : 13

https://youtu.be/0z1TrsTrjf4

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let GOD displace worry at the center of your being. The LORD is like a supersaturated cloud, showering Peace into the pool of your mind. GOD’S Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive HIS blessings with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify GOD by receiving HIS blessings gratefully. The LORD is the goal of all your searching. When you seek The LORD, you find HIM and be satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, GOD fades into the background of your life. The LORD is still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were alone. Actually, GOD’S Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include The LORD in all your moments. Let nothing dampen your search for GOD.”

Scripture

When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” PSALM 27 : 8 (NKJV)

Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7 (MSG)

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, you are the goal of all of my searching. Help me seek You first and not let worry take the lead. Thank You for Your presence which brings peace and steadies my mind. Keep my eyes focused on You today, trusting that You are already at work. Amen.

Colossians‬ ‭3 : 17‬ ‭

“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3 : 17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The most powerful statement we have is ” In Jesus Name” for HIS name has the power to cast out demons, heal, deliver, and destroy fear. Today’s prayer is that we would we would speak life over all situations In JESUS CHRIST’S name …… Be Blessed

COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. | MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30, JOSHUA 1 : 5, 9

https://youtu.be/ypoFB1YVqjk

“COME TO GOD, and rest in HIS loving Presence. You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials. As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that GOD is with you — now and always. Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in this way! Instead, come to GOD, and relax in HIS Peace. The LORD will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust.”

Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30 

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. . . Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” JOSHUA 1 : 5, 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me not to rehearse my troubles and instead rest my soul in your presence while you turn my worry into confident trust and peace that passes understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 9‬

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 9‬ NLT

Are you striving to live a life of victory? Are you doing your best to be an example of JESUS CHRIST ? We as Christians should all be. This scripture talks about putting all we have learned into practice, are you making a daily effort to practice? Today I pray that GOD would give us direction and correction when we stray off the path and help us all be the example HE intends for us to be ……. Be Blessed

Hebrews 12 : 3

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. Hebrews 12 : 3 NKJV

Sometimes we have the tendency to have our own pity party, something is causing friction or something isn’t quite going our way. Imagine if JESUS CHRIST had decided “hey I’m perfect I didn’t do anything wrong this world is on its own” instead The LORD laid down HIS deity and took all our punishment at the Cross. Today when you find yourself in a tough or unfair situation thank JESUS CHRIST for HIS act of love on the Cross …….. Be Blessed!!

Romans‬ ‭12 ‬: ‭19 – 20‬

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD. Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” ‭Romans‬ ‭12 ‬: ‭19 – 20‬ NLT

Is there that certain person or group of people that always seem to rub you wrong? Treat you bad? Just get on your last nerve? I believe we all have those people in our lives. Do you find yourself repaying their evil ways with the same treatment? This scripture tells us to give them to GOD and let HIM deal with them, we as Christians should shine our light on them even when the treatment is bad. Today I pray that we all would meditate on this scripture and ask the Holy Spirit to help us act right in these situations …… Be Blessed!!

GOD’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, MATTHEW 14 : 30, HEBREWS 12 : 2

https://youtu.be/7qPB0ipcs1U

“GOD’S FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with GOD, your Peace. As long as you focus on GOD, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out “Help me, Jesus!” and The LORD, JESUS CHRIST will lift you up. The closer you live to The LORD, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix your eyes on GOD, the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of GOD’S design. GOD is always beside you, helping you face today’s waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future! Stay close to The LORD.”

Scripture

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7 

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” MATTHEW 14 : 30 

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. HEBREWS 12 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, even when I’m surrounded by a sea of problems I will meet you in the inner room of my heart, where you always are, and where there is peace that surpasses understanding. I can hide away with you, even for a minute, better prepared to return to the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭4 : 8‬

Do you know that feeling when you have complete serene peace? That complete feeling of safety? That complete feeling of joy? That is when you are completely in JESUS CHRIST !!! Our salvation should always bring us peace,safety, and joy. Today I pray that we all would take our right place in JESUS CHRIST, the author and finisher of our faith …….. Be Blessed

TRUST GOD by relinquishing control into HIS hands. | PSALM 46 : 10, COLOSSIANS 4 : 2 , 2 PETER 1 : 3 – 4

https://youtu.be/_f6dxz5lZt8

“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. GOD searchs among HIS children for receptivity to HIM. Guard well this gift that The LORD has planted in your heart. Nurture it with the Light of GOD’S Presence. When you bring GOD prayer requests, lay out your concerns before HIM. Speak to The LORD candidly; pour out your heart. Then thank GOD 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 The LORD 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 GOD’S Presence and HIS promises.”

Scripture

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, 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

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.
