I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Philippians 1:9-11 NLT
How are you reacting to situations that catch you off guard? Are you being led by a loving God, or by a worldly reaction? We as believers need to strive to be like Jesus in our every moment. Today I pray that we would ask God for the knowledge to fit every reaction and handle them as Christ did…..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 ABLE to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to GOD with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what HE can accomplish. Ask The LORD’S Holy Spirit to control your mind, so that you can think great thoughts of HIM. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon GOD, to trust GOD in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see GOD’S Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for GOD’S glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that GOD is doing in your life.”
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, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20– 21
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. ISAIAH 40 : 30 – 31 (NKJV)
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” REVELATION 5 : 13
Prayer: God thank you for always doing far beyond what I could ask or imagine. Holy Spirit, control my mind, so I can think great thoughts of You. And help me to view trials as setting the scene for your glorious intervention. Keep my eyes open to all you are doing in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
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
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
“YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. People usually associate victory with success: not falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their own strength tend to go their own way, forgetting about GOD. It is through problems and failure, weakness and neediness that you learn to rely on The LORD. True dependence is not simply asking GOD to bless what you have decided to do. It is coming to The LORD with an open mind and heart, inviting GOD to plant HIS desires within you. GOD may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on GOD. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on The LORD as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of multiple failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on GOD. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life, through deepening your dependence on GOD.”
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSALM 34 : 17– 18
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord help me to live in deep dependence on you. Plant your desires within me and help me surrender my plans for yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“GOD WANTS YOU TO LEARN A NEW HABIT. Try saying, “I trust You, Jesus” in response to whatever happens to you. If there is time, think about who GOD is in all HIS Power and Glory; ponder also the depth and breadth of GOD’S Love for you. This simple practice will help you see The LORD in every situation, acknowledging GOD’S sovereign control over the universe. When you view events from this perspective—through the Light of GOD’S universal Presence—fear loses its grip on you. Adverse circumstances become growth opportunities when you affirm your trust in The LORD no matter what. You receive blessings gratefully, realizing they flow directly from GOD’S hand of grace. Your continual assertion of trusting The LORD will strengthen your relationship and keep you close to HIM.”
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. PSALM 63 : 2
See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. ISAIAH 40 : 10 – 11
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139 : 7 – 10
Prayer: Lord thank you that you are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. You never change. Help me to see you in every situation and trust that nothing is a surprise to you. All good things are a blessing from you and all trials you promise to use for good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the LORD understand all.” Proverbs 28:5 NKJV
Sin has consequences and those who truly know the Lord understand that, those who do not know the Lord live frivolously and do whatever pleases them. This proverb is crystal clear if you know the Lord! Justice is consequences for what has been done and if you truly know the Lord you know better than to commit the act. Today’s prayer is that we would tell everyone how the grace of the Lord has saved us and shown us how we should live, tell all and pray for those who do not receive……… Be Blessed and Pray up in 2022
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
Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:4-5 NKJV
Life gets so busy we make JUST enough time for The Lord. This scripture tells us to delight yourself, the meaning of delight is ” something that brings you extreme pleasure, happiness” we as believers should put Jesus before anything else, he is our Best Friend, The Lord takes pleasure when we consult him in everything…… Today I pray we would all get alone with God and have a personal conversation with him……..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
“REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. This Peace can be your portion at all times and in all circumstances. Learn to hide in the secret of The LORD’S Presence, even as you carry out your duties in the world. GOD is both with you and within you. The LORD goes before you to open up the way, and GOD also walks alongside you. There could never be another companion as devoted as The LORD. Because GOD is your constant Companion, there should be a lightness to your step that is observable to others. Do not be weighed down with problems and unresolved issues, for The LORD is your burden-bearer. In the world you have trials and distress, but don’t let them get you down. The LORD has conquered the world and deprived it of power to harm you. In Christ you may have confident Peace.”
Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. PSALM 31 : 19–20 (NKJV)
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. JOHN 16 : 33
Prayer: Lord thank you for being my most devoted companion who paves the path for me, holds my hand along the way, and is in me and with me at all times. Hide me in the secret place of your presence today Lord and fill me with your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. Isaiah 53:6 NLT
The plans for us from God are to prosper and be filled with love and joy, what have you done with those plans? The beauty of it all is no matter what we have done it’s never to late to change!!!! We serve a God of second and third chances, we serve a loving God, a God that only wants good for us. Today I pray that no matter where you are that you realize it’s never to late, God has his arms wide open and waiting…..I sure am glad that I am living proof of what God’s promise is…….Be Blessed
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT
It’s a New year, are you hoping for a better year? Was last year less than what you expected? Well God is always at work, he is always making something out of nothing for those who believe . Today I pray that we all would give thanks for another year and see through last years disappointments to this year’s possibilities…….Have Faith and Be Blessed Happy New Year
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
