Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬

Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ NLT

A person is defined by what they have in life, where they live, where they work, and what their annual income is, but Solomon says it is better to have fear of The Lord than have great treasure. To have fear for The Lord is to know he is almighty, to fear turning from him or to displease him with our actions as believers. Our goal as Christians should be to fear living against God’s word. Today I pray we would have a all new fear in living against God’s word, and live up to his word with all we have…….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

BASK IN THE LUXURY of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. – PSALM 34 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18, GALATIANS 5 : 25

https://youtu.be/Yp-EizCsoVI

“BASK IN THE LUXURY of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. Dare to see yourself as GOD sees you: radiant in HIS righteousness, cleansed by HIS blood. The LORD views you as the one HE created you to be, the one you will be in actuality when heaven becomes your home. It is The LORD’S Life within you that is changing you from glory to glory. Rejoice in this mysterious miracle! Thank GOD continually for the amazing gift of HIS Holy Spirit within you. Try to depend on the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit as you go through this day of life. Pause briefly from time to time so you can consult with this Holy One inside you. GOD will not force you to do His bidding, but GOD will guide you as you give Him space in your life. Walk along this wondrous way of collaboration with The LORD’S Holy Spirit.”

Scripture

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. PSALM 34 : 5

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. GALATIANS 5 : 25

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to depend on your Holy Spirit more today than I did yesterday. To pause to consult with Him before making a decision so I can do your will. Holy Spirit control my thoughts, my words, and my actions today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ NLT

As Christians we have nothing to hide!!! Are you hiding something? In the Old Testament only the high priest could enter the most Holy place behind the veil, when Jesus died on the cross he tore that veil from top to bottom so that we could boldly enter God’s presence. The removal of the veil made us into the image of the Lord……Today I pray that as believers that we never cover ourselves again, that we would be bold for Christ who so graciously gave his life for us, that we would be a reflection to all the image of Jesus ……Be Blessed

https://youtu.be/DnlzrmhklVw

“GOD IS CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you. This is a deep, unfathomable mystery. You and GOD are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being. The Light of The LORD’S Presence shines within you, as well as upon you. The LORD is in you, and you are in HIM; therefore, nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from GOD! As you sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, your awareness of HIS Life within you is heightened. This produces the Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. Christ The LORD, the God of hope, fills you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in HIM, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Scripture

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

“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles.” ISAIAH 42 : 6

“Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” NEHEMIAH 8 : 10

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

Prayer

Prayer: God you are amazing. You go before me and behind me and beside me and you live in me. Nothing can separate me from your great love. As I spend time with you, fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you and overflow with hope by the power of The Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:4-5

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 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 ‭10:4-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As Christians we know what is in line with God’s word, we know the difference between wrong and right in God’s eyes. Are we rewriting his words to fit our needs? The Bible gives us instruction on how to be the example of Christ, although temptation is all around from the worldly standard, our spirit knows how to combat that temptation. Today’s prayer is that we would be so strong in God’s word that there would be no chance to twist it in any way………Be Blessed and Pray hard

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

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Day to day can sometimes seem impossible, always issues in one way or another. This scripture reminds us that no matter what we cannot be defeated in Christ!!! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of this scripture and push on through the troubles in front of us…..Be Blessed

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

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.
