DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. – JOHN 15 : 5, EPHESIANS 6 : 10, GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

https://youtu.be/EjnfUhaBX88

“DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. The desire to act independently—apart from GOD — springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from The LORD, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. GOD’S deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on HIM in every situation. The LORD moves heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with The LORD in this training. Teaching you would be simple if GOD negated your free will or overwhelmed you with HIS Power. However, GOD loves you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege HE bestowed on you as HIS image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on The LORD constantly. Thus you enjoy GOD’S Presence and GOD’S Peace.”

Scripture

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. EPHESIANS 6 : 10

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me to depend on you in every situation. Help me to do my part by spending time getting to know you each day through your word, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-7‬

“Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor. Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Paul speaks of relying on Jesus for strength and knowledge. Are you trying to follow the rules of the world standard or the knowledgeable ways of the Lord to win your race? Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the knowledge to run our race in a way that will please God………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 YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. – JOHN 15 : 13 – 15, ISAIAH 61 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

https://youtu.be/9ei9BkZmF8Y

“GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with GOD through your life. Together you will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with The LORD. GOD can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. GOD can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like The LORD! The friendship GOD offers you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in The LORD’S Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. GOD has equipped you to stay conscious of HIM while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.”

Scripture

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

. . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ISAIAH 61 : 3

. . . sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for walking with me hand in hand in whatever today brings; Whether trials or triumphs we will handle it together. Lead the way, Jesus. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬

When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom. ‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬ NASB

How are you viewed as a person? Do you humble yourself? or have to always give the right answer? Do you sometimes agree when you are wrong? Do you walk away from an argument or do you stay and try to prove you are right? Do you brag about all of your accomplishments or do you just say thank you? Today’s prayer is that we would always humble ourselves, for there is a time and reason for everything God blesses the humble ……Be Blessed and always be humble

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

IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. – PSALM 32 : 7, GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9, JOHN 8 : 12

https://youtu.be/6fv6NrFC8gE

“IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. In the intimacy of GOD’S Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense The LORD’S nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only GOD Presence can fill. GOD designed you for close communication with your Creator. How GOD enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with The LORD in the garden of your heart, both you and HE are blessed. This is The LORD’S way of living in the world—through you! Together you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.”

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. PSALM 32 : 7

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. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

Prayer: How I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden Lord. One fine day. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13:16

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you view yourself as a giver? Do you put the needs of others before yourself? Can you imagine if Jesus would have said “You know what I’ve changed my mind. I have never sinned so why should I die for everyone else’s sins?”. This scripture should remind us that we are in so many ways blessed beyond words! We have air in our lungs and that is more than we deserve. Today’s prayer is that we would always help others in their time of need and realize that God sees our sacrifice and continues to bless us abundantly…….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

Acts‬ ‭4:12

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The definition of salvation is preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss. This is the dictionary definition, as Christians we identify with our salvation as putting our faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. This scripture says “salvation is found in no other name than Jesus! Our greatest gift we will ever receive is the gift of salvation. Today’s prayer is that we would witness the joy and peace that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus, knowing that our salvation is not ” fire insurance” but our salvation is a beautiful gift of grace and mercy………Be Blessed and truly take hold of the meaning of salvation

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

Matthew 7:24-27

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27 NKJV

Foundation is the key to everything, foundation supports your marriage, attitude, thoughts, job, and the list goes on and on. The key to a peaceful life is building everything you have on a solid foundation, and that starts with your relationship with Jesus. In this scripture Jesus says whoever hears is wise and whoever does not is foolish!!!! We have all heard his words so what is your foundation built on? Today I pray that all will return to the everlasting foundation in Jesus, he is the solid rock and the cornerstone to all in our lives……..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

SEEK GOD with your whole being. – DEUTERONOMY 4 : 29, HEBREWS 10 : 23, PSALM 145 : 20

https://youtu.be/AKZO1a9B1vw

“SEEK GOD with your whole being. GOD desires to be found by you, and The LORD orchestrates the events of your life with that purpose in mind. When things go well and you are blessed, you can feel The LORD smiling on you. When you encounter rough patches along your life-journey, trust that GOD’S Light is still shining upon you. The LORD’S reasons for allowing these adversities may be shrouded in mystery, but HIS continual Presence with you is an absolute promise. Seek GOD in good times; seek GOD in hard times. You will find The LORD watching over you all the time.”

Scripture

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. DEUTERONOMY 4 : 29

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. HEBREWS 10 : 23

The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. PSALM 145 : 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your promise to always be with me in good times and tough times; and for guiding me in your path of light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1-2

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,” 1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Everybody has their own opinion but is that the gospel? The world is full of lies of the Father of lies – Satan!!!! Do you want to follow deceit or truth ? Today’s prayer is that opinions mean nothing, truth is truth!!!!! You have a choice to follow truth or deceit!!!! Which do you choose? Be Blessed and follow the right path………

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
