YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD – ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25, HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20, ROMANS 15 : 13

“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 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. GOD’S desire is that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord, your hope is an anchor for my soul. It’s what I cling to in dark times. 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 confident hope. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 NKJV

Jesus said “I am the way” the way to eternal life is through salvation in Jesus which is a gift!!! Not of mans effort. Jesus said ” I am the truth” this means that every spoken word from him is absolute!!!! We should strive to be like him. He said ” I am the life” there is no life worth living aside of Jesus !!!! He is our comfort, counselor , best friend, our everything. Today meditate on the gift of salvation and give thanks for that unconditional love….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

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

“REST IN GOD, forgetting about the worries of the world. Focus on GOD and let The LORD’S 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 GOD, so that you can experience the reality of The LORD’S 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.”

Scripture

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

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

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

Prayer

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.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Still think you’re not worthy? Still think you’re not good enough? This scripture tells us that even though at times we think we are not worthy of God’s grace it is freely given to us because of God’s love for us. Grace is not a license to sin, it’s a reason not to. Today’s prayer is that we would live the life that God ordained for each one of us, when you miss the mark REPENT!!! Don’t regress – truly let the grace of God work in your life…….Be Blessed & remember to Bless someone else

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, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19, EPHESIANS 3 : 20

“TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY. The word holy does not mean goody-goody; it means set apart for sacred use. That is what your 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 The LORD’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 GOD has prepared for you. You become a cleansed temple of The LORD’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.”

Scripture

. . . 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 : 10

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

Prayer: Lord, time spent with you has so many benefits – it’s so amazing. You fill me with peace, joy, and renewal. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear opportunities The Holy Spirit gives me to share your love and grace 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

GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. – ROMANS 8 : 28, JOB 42 : 1 – 3, 1 PETER 5 : 7

“GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. Feel the warmth and security of being enveloped in The LORD’S loving Presence. Every detail of your life is under GOD’S control. Moreover, everything fits into a pattern for good, to those who love GOD and are called according to HIS design and purpose. Because the world is in an abnormal, fallen condition, people tend to think that chance governs the universe. Events may seem to occur randomly, with little or no meaning. People who view the world this way have overlooked one basic fact: the limitations of human understanding. What you know of the world you inhabit is only the tip of the iceberg. Submerged beneath the surface of the visible world are mysteries too vast for you to comprehend. If you could only see how close GOD is to you and how constantly The LORD works on your behalf, you would never again doubt that GOD is wonderfully caring for you. This is why you must live by faith, not by sight; trusting in GOD’S mysterious, majestic Presence.”

Scripture

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

Then Job replied to the LORD : “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.” JOB 42 : 1 – 3

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to see and feel how close you are to me and how you are constantly working on my behalf. And that I have three best friends with me at all times – God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. What an amazing privilege. Help me to rely more on you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:10

“Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭

Spiritual growth is a must as Christians!!! To stay as a babe in the Lord will lead to regression. The Lord has left us not only the Holy Spirit but also an instruction manual. Today’s prayer is we would all grown into the Lord’s way and bring him honor everyday……..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 WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF. – PSALM 36 : 9, GENESIS 21 : 1 – 2, 6 – 7, HEBREWS 11 : 1

“GOD IS WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF. Bring GOD all your concerns, including your dreams. Talk with The LORD about everything, letting the Light of GOD’S Presence shine on your hopes and plans. Spend time allowing The LORD’S Light to infuse your dreams with life, gradually transforming them into reality. This is a very practical way of collaborating with The LORD. GOD, the Creator of the universe, has deigned to co-create with you. Do not try to hurry this process. If you want to work with GOD, you have to accept HIS time frame. Hurry is not in GOD’S nature. Abraham and Sarah had to wait many years for the fulfillment of The LORD’S promise, a son. How their long wait intensified their enjoyment of this child! Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”

Scripture

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9

Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” GENESIS 21 : 1 – 2, 6 – 7

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. HEBREWS 11 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for working on my behalf. As I spend time with you, you slowly shape my desires and dreams to align with your will for my life. And in your perfect timing, with faith and obedience, they will come to fruition. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭1:18-20‬

“But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” Romans‬ ‭1:18-20‬ ‭

I believe the only thing God hates is Sin!!! God is love but sin is hate and that contradicts love! To live a life that is pleasing to God is to do your best to follow his ways! Love all, treat all with respect, be kind to all rich, poor, those who have different beliefs, etc!!!! God created all and his command is to love not hate! Today’s prayer is we would all try to please God in all our actions! We will fall short and that’s where his love comes in, but that doesn’t mean we can stop trying!!!! Love all, treat all as Jesus 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
