YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. – ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25, HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20, ROMANS 15 : 13

https://youtu.be/eUiZVw8NkE0

“YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD. The hope of heaven is meant to strengthen and encourage you, filling you with wondrous Joy. Many Christians have misunderstood this word hope, believing that it denotes wishful thinking. Nothing could be farther from the truth! As soon as CHRIST THE LORD became your Savior, heaven became your ultimate destination. The phrase hope of heaven highlights the benefits you can enjoy even while remaining on earth. This hope keeps you spiritually alive during dark times of adversity; it brightens your path and heightens your awareness of GOD’S Presence. The LORD’S desire is that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 : 13

Prayer: Lord, your hope is an anchor for my soul. It’s what I cling to in dark times. It is an extension of my yearning for you God. May your hope fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you, by the power of your Holy Spirit who lives in me, so that I may overflow with hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus showed all kinds of wonders and miracles but many still did not believe. The Pharisees and Sadducees were so well versed in the law but they still would not believe that the Messiah was among them. Today the same remains, people are receiving healing and miracles in the lowest times of their life but still don’t see. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the spirit of God to fall on all with a hardened heart that they may believe in the one true living God, Jesus told them back then and we are telling them today…….Be Blessed and Testify!!!!!!

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

REST IN GOD, forgetting about the worries of the world. – HEBREWS 13 : 8, ECCLESIASTES 1 : 2, PROVERBS 3 : 6

https://youtu.be/nA048xiJduU

“REST IN GOD, forgetting about the worries of the world. Focus on GOD — Christ The LORD —and let HIS living Presence envelop you in Peace. Tune in to GOD’S eternal security, for GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you live on the surface of life by focusing on ever-changing phenomena, you will find yourself echoing the words of Solomon: “Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!” Living in collaboration with GOD is the way to instill meaning into your days. Begin each day alone with The LORD, so that you can experience the reality of HIS Presence. As you spend time with GOD, the way before you opens up step by step. Arise from the stillness of your communion, and gradually begin your journey through the day. Hold GOD’S hand in deliberate dependence on HIM, and The LORD will smooth out the path before you.”

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8

“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” ECCLESIASTES 1 : 2

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

Prayer: God help me to rest in you each day, forgetting about the worries of the world and letting your presence and peace envelop me. I hold out my hand in deliberate dependence on you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭17:18-20

“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17:18-20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Have you ever had a moment where you have no doubt that you can handle the situation? That you are 100% sure you can get it done? That my friends is having faith in yourself, Do you have that same faith in Jesus? Today’s prayer is that we would know that through the blood of Christ we can overcome anything!!! Any stronghold, depression, or any other thing that takes hold of you. Put all of your trust in Jesus and see that with his guidance you can overcome all things………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

TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY. – 2 THESSALONIANS 1 : 10, PSALM 27 : 4, PSALM 27 : 4, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

https://youtu.be/JNBDRzOJGm8

“TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY. The word holy does not mean goody-goody; it means set apart for sacred use. That is what these quiet moments in GOD’S Presence are accomplishing within you. As you focus your mind and heart on GOD, you are being transformed: re-created into the one The LORD designed you to be. This process requires blocks of time set aside for communion with GOD. The benefits of this practice are limitless. Emotional and physical healing are enhanced by your soaking in the Light of GOD’S Presence. You experience a nearness to GOD that strengthens your faith and fills you with Peace. You open yourself up to receive the many blessings that The LORD has prepared for you. You become a cleansed temple of CHRIST’S Holy Spirit, who is able to do in and through you immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. These are just some of the benefits of being still in GOD’S Presence.”

. . . on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. 2 THESSALONIANS 1 : 1 0

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. PSALM 27 : 4

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us . . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 20

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are not a distant God. You care about every detail of my life. You showed us that by sending Jesus to come down into darkness to be near to us, to save us, to redeem us. And then when Jesus left you gave us The Holy Spirit to live inside us. Thank you Lord for always being near. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 8: 9

“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.” 2 Corinthians 8: 9

God is so good to us, how can we complain? He gave his only son on the cross would you? Today’s prayer is when we complain about trivial things we would look to the cross and realize just how unimportant our little things are……Be Blessed all

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

Acts 8‬:‭27-31

So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.” Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. Acts 8‬:‭27-31‬ NLT

How many are reading the word of God but not fully understanding it? Phillip was instructed by the Holy Spirit to walk with the man and help him to understand, do you have a Phillip? The word of God is full of insight and treasure. Today I pray that we would all understand the word of God and when we don’t that the Holy Spirit would send us a Phillip……Be Blessed

Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22

Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. ‭Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ NLT

Do you have trust issues? Do you want to believe but somehow can’t? God’s word is full of promises, not maybe or could happen, it’s full of promises!!!! Today I pray that all that have trust issues dive deep into the word of God and read!!!!! The devil wants you to read it as a maybe, but God’s promise is for sure ……Be Blessed & Trust the Lord

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

MAKE GOD THE FOCAL POINT of your search for security. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 139 : 10, JAMES 1 : 2

https://youtu.be/KHBUHf_EEkA

“MAKE GOD THE FOCAL POINT of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip GOD’S hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence on GOD. Instead of yearning for a problem-free life, rejoice that trouble can highlight your awareness of The LORD’S Presence. In the darkness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of GOD’S Face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure joy. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven.”

“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

Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139 : 10

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

Prayer: Lord help me to accept the value of problems in this life. I know they have valuable lessons to be learned if I allow them to. I look so forward to Heaven when there will be no more tears or suffering or sorrow. No more trials. But until then, I trust you know best Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:34

“Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To his last breath Jesus was pleading the case for the sinner, hanging on the cross beaten and torn; he was asking the Father to forgive them for what they had done and were doing. Is there someone that you are withholding forgiveness from? If so, think of the words of Jesus from the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would forgive as Jesus did and not condemn those who persecute us but pray to the Father to forgive them…..There is power and freedom in forgiveness……..Be Blessed
