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

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

COME TO GOD AND REST. – MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29 , 1 TIMOTHY 2 : 8

“COME TO GOD AND REST. GOD is all about you, to bless and restore. Breathe The LORD in with each breath. The way just ahead of you is very steep. Slow down and cling tightly to GOD’S hand. The LORD is teaching you a difficult lesson, learned only by hardship. Lift up empty hands of faith to receive GOD’S precious Presence. Light, Life, Joy, and Peace flow freely through this gift. When your focus turns away from The LORD, you grasp for other things. You drop the glowing gift of GOD’s Presence as you reach for lifeless ashes. Return to GOD; regain HIS Presence.”

“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.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. 1 TIMOTHY 2 : 8

Prayer: Lord thank you for giving me rest when I focus on you. Fill me with your joy, peace, light, and life. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but you have come to give life, abundant life! Help me to live the way you intended, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18-19‬

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Life is full of ups and downs but as believers we have a hope in Jesus. Paul writes about our “present” sufferings and how awesome it will be in heaven someday. Heaven will have no more suffering, no more pain, no more tears. Today’s prayer is that we would all stay in hope of our life when we truly get home and realize this is all just temporary……..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

COME TO GOD FOR REST and refreshment. – ROMANS 8 : 28, PSALM 42 : 11

“COME TO GOD FOR REST and refreshment. The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for GOD to take charge of your life. Remember that GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different. Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where The LORD intends you to be. You will get through today one step, one moment at a time. Your main responsibility is to remain attentive to GOD, letting HIM guide you through the many choices along your pathway. This sounds like an easy assignment, but it is not. Your desire to live in The LORD’S Presence goes against the grain of “the world, the flesh, and the devil.” Much of your weariness results from your constant battle against these opponents. However, you are on the path of GOD’S choosing, so do not give up! Hope in The LORD, for you will again praise GOD for the help of HIS Presence.”

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. PSALM 42 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to come to you for rest and refreshment. Help me to be more aware of your presence with me today, and to depend on you more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭6:18‬

“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I believe the church is under attack more today than ever! You see so many people leaving certain congregations for one reason or another. The Devil’s plan is to break up the Church, Marriage & Family. This scripture says to pray for all the Lord’s people, the flesh is strong and as believers we are under attack by the enemy daily. Today I pray that instead of condemning our brothers and sisters that we would love them unconditionally as Jesus does so we can keep the faith stronger and build the Church to the Lord’s satisfaction……..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

James‬ ‭3:2-5

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3:2-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are the words you’re speaking into people’s lives edifying or damning? From the ” good morning” to the “what’s wrong with you idiot?”. James speaks clearly about the power of the tongue in this scripture just how powerful one little word can affect someone. Today’s prayer is that we would all let God put a bit in our mouths or a rudder on our tongue, that we would edify people no matter how we feel. When someone wrongs you hand it over to God and bite down on that bit……..Be Blessed and tell someone “Good Morning”

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

James‬ ‭3‬:‭10-12‬

And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring. ‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭10-12‬ NLT

Does your spirit speak to you when one minute you are cursing the driver in front of you that is going too slow and the next is “Praise the Lord” ? James is speaking about that very thing in this scripture. God wants us to be constant in our actions, loving, kind, and thoughtful. Today I pray that God would give us the help by the way of the spirit to be loving and caring in all situations. Thank you Jesus for your grace when we are not, be blessed and be caring

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 AND FOR YOU. – ROMANS 8 : 31, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18, GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14

“GOD IS WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. You face nothing alone—nothing! When you feel anxious, know that you are focusing on the visible world and leaving GOD out of the picture. The remedy is simple: Fix your eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. Verbalize your trust in GOD, the Living One who sees you always. The LORD will get you safely through this day and all your days. But you can find GOD only in the present. Each day is a precious gift from GOD The Father. How ridiculous to grasp for future gifts when today’s is set before you! Receive today’s gift gratefully, unwrapping it tenderly and delving into its depths. As you savor this gift, you find The LORD.”

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? ROMANS 8 : 31

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Truly here I have seen him who looks after me. Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14

Prayer: Lord help me to focus on and enjoy the gifts you’ve planned out for me today and enjoy your presence in the present. Thank you for always being with me. Even when I feel alone, I never am. Your goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. ‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ NLT

Are you struggling with your daily walk with Jesus? You know what type of life you are called to live but it seems that you can’t do it? Check your surroundings and the company you keep. Paul says we died with Christ and were raised with him in a new life, that means NEW not the same as it was. The devil wants to continue to remind you of your past, but Jesus only wants you to think of the now and future. Today I pray that we all would give our surroundings a self check and let the spirit of The Lord guide us…….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 RENEWING YOUR MIND. – ROMANS 12 : 2, PSALM 105 : 4

“GOD IS RENEWING YOUR MIND. When your thoughts flow freely, they tend to move toward problems. Your focus gets snagged on a given problem, circling round and round it in attempts to gain mastery. Your energy is drained away from other matters through this negative focus. Worst of all, you lose sight of GOD. A renewed mind is Presence-focused. Train your mind to seek The LORD in every moment, every situation. Sometimes you can find GOD in your surroundings: a lilting birdsong, a loved one’s smile, golden sunlight. At other times, you must draw inward to find The LORD. GOD is always present in your spirit. Seek The LORD’S Face, speak to HIM, and GOD will light up your mind.”

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

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to focus more on your presence than on my problems. Renew my mind and teach me how to be more Presence-focused today. You are the great I AM and you have never lost a battle. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
