FOCUS YOUR ENTIRE BEING on GOD’S living Presence. – PSALM 89 : 15 – 16, 1 JOHN 3 : 19 – 20, JUDE 24 – 25

https://youtu.be/bvX-CJMEbhw

“FOCUS YOUR ENTIRE BEING on GOD’S living Presence. GOD is most assuredly with you, enveloping you in HIS Love and Peace. While you relax in The LORD’S Presence, The LORD is molding your mind and cleansing your heart. The LORD is recreating you into the one HE designed you to be. As you move from stillness into the activities of your day, do not relinquish your attentiveness to CHRIST, The LORD. If something troubles you, talk it over with GOD. If you get bored with what you are doing, fill the time with prayers and praise. When someone irritates you, don’t let your thoughts linger on that person’s faults. Gently nudge your mind back to GOD. Every moment is precious if you keep your focus on Christ, The LORD. Any day can be a good day, because GOD’S Presence permeates all time.

Scripture

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. PSALM 89 : 15 – 16

This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 1 JOHN 3 : 19 – 20

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. JUDE 24 – 25

In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. PSALM 41 : 12

Prayer

Prayer: Lord while I relax in your presence, thank you for molding my mind and cleansing my heart. As I move into the activities of my day, help me to keep my focus on you Jesus and remember you have sealed me for eternity. Nothing can change the end of my story. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14‬

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14‬ NIV

There are so many that have chosen the broad gate, in their mind it is easier living a life of quote “freedom”, no rules, being their own person. Jesus speaks of that road leading to destruction. Today’s prayer is that all would understand that the narrow road gives you the true meaning of freedom! The total lack of condemnation. The road to heaven is not the easy road, there will be test and trials but we have the ultimate tour guide when we choose this path……..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

SIT QUIETLY WITH GOD, let all your concerns come top of your mind LUK 12:22-26, DEU 31:6, 2COR 10:5

https://youtu.be/UjA2uJXCjrs

“SIT QUIETLY WITH GOD, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. There, in the Light of GOD’S Presence, the bubbles pop and disappear. However, some fears surface over and over again, especially fear of the future. You tend to project yourself mentally into the next day, week, month, year, decade; and you visualize yourself coping badly in those times. What you are seeing is a false image, because it doesn’t include The LORD. Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since GOD’S Presence will be with you at all times. When a future-oriented worry assails you, capture it and disarm it by suffusing the Light of GOD’S Presence into that mental image. Say to yourself, “Jesus will be with me then and there. With His help, I can cope!” Then, come home to the present moment, where you can enjoy Peace in The LORD’S Presence.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 22 – 26

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord in the light of your presence all my fears and worries pop and disappear like a bubble. I know no matter what happens in the future you will be with me and your rod and your staff will comfort me. No matter what, when I’m with you, I can say, it is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4-7

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. ‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4-7‬ NIV

Are you praying for a family member,friend,co-worker ? God hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that God would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making Jesus your Lord and Savior……..

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

LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 102 : 27, ACTS 17 : 28

https://youtu.be/_ucF1oOT5gQ

“LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with GOD, gain confidence from your knowledge that together with GOD you can handle anything. This knowledge consists of three parts: your relationship with GOD, promises in the Bible, and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times. Look back on your life, and see how The LORD has helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, “Yes, but that was then, and this is now, ” remember who GOD IS! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, The LORD remains the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In GOD’S Presence you live and move and have your being.”

Scripture

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

Prayer

Prayer: Lord on the days and seasons of rough terrain, help me to gain confidence in your presence with me, your unshakable promises, and your unfailing love time and time again in my life. Great is your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-18

“Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Are you praising God in troublesome times? Or are you only praising him in the good times? God is always there and he is always faithful!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would praise God in everything we do at all times…….Be Blessed

SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. – JOHN 8 : 29, HEBREWS 11 : 5 – 6, PSALM 37 : 4

https://youtu.be/WxSSYq79n7w

“SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. As you journey through today, there will be many choice-points along your way. Most of the day’s decisions will be small ones you have to make quickly. You need some rule of thumb to help you make good choices. Many people’s decisions are a combination of their habitual responses and their desire to please themselves or others. This is not GOD’S way for you. Strive to please The LORD in everything, not just in major decisions. This is possible only to the extent that you are living in close communion with GOD. When GOD Presence is your deepest delight, you know almost instinctively what will please HIM. A quick glance at The LORD is all you need to make the right choice. Delight yourself in GOD more and more; seek The LORD’S pleasure in all you do.”

“The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” JOHN 8 : 29

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. HEBREWS 11 : 5 – 6

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4

Prayer: Lord help me to seek to please you above all else and may every decision I make big or small be pleasing to you. Show me any areas I need to work on and create in me a new heart Lord, one that’s completely aligned with your good and pleasing and perfect will. 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 ? We’ll 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

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
