‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84:10‬ ‭

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84:10‬ ‭

As a believer the personal relationship with the Lord is priceless. This Psalm speaks of spending one day with the Lord rather than a thousand elsewhere. When you have a personal relationship with Jesus and don’t spend time with him in fellowship, prayer would be like not talking to your husband or wife while they’re sitting right next to you, sooner or later the question will come up ” what’s wrong”. Today’s prayer is that we would take every opportunity to have lines of communication with Jesus for he is there waiting…….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 CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with HIM. – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, PROVERBS 3 : 6

https://youtu.be/_T_eh–j5CQ

“GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with HIM. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with The LORD can be uninterrupted. But GOD challenges you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day just as it comes, and find GOD in the midst of it all. Talk with The LORD about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with GOD. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with GOD, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead, ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to guide you moment by moment. GOD will keep you close to HIM.”

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 6

Prayer: Holy Spirit, guide me moment by moment today. Help me to accept each day just as it comes. Teach me to live with you above my circumstances and communicate with you throughout the day more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews 12:1-3

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

What an awesome promise we have!!!! Jesus did it all, and he sits at the right hand of the father interceding for us. Today I pray that we all will stand on the promise, run the race knowing that even if we trip or get behind the end result is we WIN!!!!!! And take heart knowing that Jesus did it all !!!He Has Risen!!!! Happy Easter All …….Be Blessed

Luke 15:1-7

Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” Then Jesus told them this parable: “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 15:1-7 NIV

Jesus knew the hearts of his sheep, he also knew the reason he was sent to earth. The Bible says he did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world. Jesus knew the sinners needed to be near to see the miracles that he was to perform. Today I pray that we can show the same love to the sinner and win souls for Jesus……tell someone who is a non believer your awesome testimony ……..Be Blessed

1 Corinthians 2:12

What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 1 Corinthians 2:12 NIV

The spirit of the world says you can’t do this, you can’t overcome that sickness, you can’t break that stronghold, but the Holy Spirit of God that lives inside of us gives us everything of the finished works that Jesus took upon himself at Calvary. The finished works include healing, prosperity, freedom from strongholds and freedom from sin…… Today I pray that we all take hold of the spirit that dwells inside of us and live in the finished works of Jesus Christ…….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

STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. – ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1, JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/mXf19rIDDUM

“STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask GOD whether or not it is part of today’s agenda. If it isn’t, release it into GOD’S care and go on about today’s duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time. A life lived close to GOD is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on The LORD’S Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that The LORD has overcome the world. GOD has told you these things, so that in The LORD you may have Peace.”

Scripture

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, help me to remember today, on Good Friday – the greatest sacrifice ever made. Thank you for paying my debt in full, I can hardly fathom. Though this broken world is messy and confusing, I tuck myself in your sweet presence where life is simple, my eternity is secure, and all is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 NIV

God calls us a royal priesthood, a chosen people, what an honor that with all the baggage from our past and present that God views us this way. When Jesus died on the cross his precious blood made it possible for God to see us this way……. Today I pray we all would embrace the mercy and love from the Father and see ourselves the way God sees us ………..Be Blessed

THE LORD IS A GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. – PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17, MARK 10 : 15, ISAIAH 26 : 3

https://youtu.be/pfInWeT1B_c

“THE LORD IS A GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. When The LORD, JESUS CHRIST died for you on the cross, The LORD held back nothing; HE poured out HIS Life like a drink offering. Because giving is inherent in JESUS CHRIST’S nature, GOD searches for people who are able to receive in full measure. To increase your intimacy with GOD, the two traits you need the most are receptivity and attentiveness. Receptivity is opening up your innermost being to be filled with GOD’S abundant riches. Attentiveness is directing your gaze to The LORD: searching for HIM in all your moments. It is possible to stay your mind on GOD, as the prophet Isaiah wrote. Through such attentiveness you receive a glorious gift: GOD’S perfect Peace.”

Scripture

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17

“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” MARK 10 : 15

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your extravagant generosity. Help me to be more like Jesus Christ this week, to be open to wherever you lead, and attentive to your voice and calling. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 3:18

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 NKJV

Take joy today knowing that there is no condemnation in you!!!! Your judgement came at the cross, all of your sins have been forgiven. The hardest thing for a believer is to wrap their arms around the fact that all is forgiven!!!!!! Today I pray that all would be quick to repent when we slip up and realize that God’s love never changes………..Be Blessed

BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. – ROMANS 12 : 2, REVELATION 2 : 4, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

https://youtu.be/zqCE0r4RCAc

“BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with GOD. While you wait in The LORD’S Presence, GOD does HIS best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with GOD, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what HE has planned for you. Do not seek The LORD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, the Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift HE might impart to you. Though GOD delights in blessing HIS children, GOD is deeply grieved when HIS blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from The LORD as your First Love. When GOD is the ultimate Desire of your heart, you are safe from the danger of idolatry. As you wait in GOD’S Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the hope of Glory!”

Scripture

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: God I know that nothing is as important as spending time with you. Help me to push back the clamor and to do lists of the day and sit in your presence, resting with you and in you. What a precious gift. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
