Proverbs 23:12

Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12 NKJV

Have you ever heard that small voice tell you “don’t do that” that’s the Holy Spirit trying to guide you. Have you heard something that you know is right but you do the complete opposite? This scripture is telling us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, he was given to us as a guide and protector. Today I pray we all would listen to that small voice, even if we don’t understand it…..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, watching over you constantly. – MATTHEW 1 : 23, COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7

“GOD IS WITH YOU, watching over you constantly. The LORD is Emmanuel (God with you); GOD’S Presence enfolds you in radiant Love. Nothing, including the brightest blessings and the darkest trials, can separate you from The LORD. Some of GOD’S children find HIM more readily during dark times, when difficulties force them to depend on GOD. Others feel closer to The LORD when their lives are filled with good things. They respond with thanksgiving and praise, thus opening wide the door to GOD’S Presence. GOD knows precisely what you need to draw nearer to HIM. Go through each day looking for what The LORD has prepared for you. Accept every event as GOD’S hand-tailored provision for your needs. When you view your life this way, the most reasonable response is to be thankful. Do not reject any of GOD’S gifts; find GOD in every situation.”

Scripture

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. COLOSSIANS 2 : 6 – 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I overflow with thankfulness for all you have done, are doing, and going to do in my life. And when trials come, help me to be rooted and built up in Christ, strengthened in my faith, and overflowing with thankfulness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts 20 : 35

I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 NKJV

In today’s times it seems like people expect things, that they are owed something. As Christians we should never expect anything, but know that we are blessed in everything, doing for others produces blessings because God is faithful, we should expect blessings for doing for others it’s just the way God works. Today, do for someone that is in need of something, maybe just a kind word………….

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

LET GOD ANOINT YOU with HIS Presence. – 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16, JAMES 4 : 8, ACTS 17 : 28, PSALMS 145 : 3 – 6

“LET GOD ANOINT YOU with HIS Presence. GOD is King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. When you draw near to GOD, HE responds by coming closer to you. As GOD’S Presence envelops you, you may feel overwhelmed by The LORD’S Power and Glory. This is a form of worship: sensing your smallness in comparison to GOD’S Greatness. Man has tended to make himself the measure of all things. But man’s measure is too tiny to comprehend The LORD’S majestic vastness. That is why most people do not see GOD at all, even though they live and move and have their being in HIM. Enjoy the radiant beauty of GOD’S Presence. Declare GOD’S glorious Being to the world!”

Scripture

God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4 : 8

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

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. PSALMS 145 : 3 – 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord may your presence envelop me and overwhelm me. Help me to speak of the mighty ways you have worked in my life to the next generation. To tell of your power and awesome works and proclaim your good deeds. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Colossians 2 : 12 – 15

buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:12-15 NKJV

It’s hard for us to understand that Jesus took all the sin, sickness, poverty, ugliness at the cross!!!!! Although we struggle daily with sin, do not be sin conscious, be God conscious. In Christ we have all things, it has been deposited in our spirit forever more. Be blessed all and be a blessing

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 at the beginning of your day. – PSALM 27 : 8, ROMANS 13 : 14, COLOSSIANS 3 : 12

“SEEK GOD’S FACE at the beginning of your day. This practice enables you to “put GOD on” and “wear GOD” throughout the day. Most people put on clothes soon after arising from bed. Similarly, the sooner you “put GOD on” by communicating with HIM, the better prepared you are for whatever comes your way. To “wear GOD” is essentially to have HIS mind: to think HIS thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit to control your thinking; be transformed by this renewal within you. Thus you are well equipped to face whatever people and situations The LORD brings your way. Clothing your mind in GOD is your best preparation for each day. This discipline brings Joy and Peace to you and those around you.”

Scripture

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

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. ROMANS 13 : 14

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. COLOSSIANS 3 : 12

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to clothe myself with you each morning which is the best preparation for each day. Only you know the triumphs and challenges I’ll face up ahead. No matter what happens today, I know you are with me and you are for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬ : ‭12 – 18‬

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭12-18‬ NIV

It’s nice to know that we have the right to boldly go to God with anything, wherever we are, in whatever setting, we can have a conversation with him. Under the Law the priest could not go before God unless they were covered. Jesus tore the veil from top to bottom for us that we could have a personal relationship with God. Today I pray that we all would always approach God with boldness in all things and give all the glory to him for sending his Son to set us free……..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

BRING GOD YOUR MIND for rest and renewal. – GENESIS 3 : 8, PSALM 89 : 15

“BRING GOD YOUR MIND for rest and renewal. Let GOD infuse HIS Presence into your thoughts. As your mind stops racing, your body relaxes and you regain awareness of The LORD. This awareness is vital to your spiritual well-being; it is your lifeline, spiritually speaking. There are actually more than four dimensions in this world where you live. In addition to the three dimensions of space and the one of time, there is the dimension of openness to GOD’S Presence. This dimension transcends the others, giving you glimpses of heaven while you still reside on earth. This was part of GOD’S original design for mankind. Adam and Eve used to walk with GOD in the garden, before their expulsion from Eden. GOD wants you to walk with HIM in the garden of your heart, where HE has taken up permanent residence.”

Scripture

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. GENESIS 3 : 8

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God I bring you my mind for rest and renewal. I want to walk with you in the garden of my heart all day long. Whether trials or triumphs you are with me. Help me to walk in step with your Holy Spirit as He leads the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Galatians‬ ‭5 ‬: ‭16 – 17‬

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. ‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬ NLT

Need direction? Always trying to do better but seem to stay the same? This scripture says to let the Holy Spirit direct you and then you won’t be caught in the sinful nature. Today I pray we all would let the spirit direct our paths and see how life becomes more fulfilling…….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

John‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬

And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. John‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ NLT

The Holy Spirit came to convict the world of its sin, before we were believers the Spirit worked on us in the same way. As believers the Holy Spirit does not convict us of our sin but of our righteousness!!! He tells us that’s not who we are when we sin, as The Spirit convicts the non-believers of their sin and shows them the way. Today I pray that we would be used as a instrument of the spirit to win souls for the Lord…..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
