2 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-4

“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭2:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Day to day trials come and go the key is how we react to them! Can you imagine a soldier out in the battle field day ok guys I’m done this is too hard, I don’t think that will fly in war and it’s no different for us as Christians serving Christ. Today’s prayer is that we would see through the trials too the blood of Christ that covers us and gives us strength and direction for our everyday life …….. 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

James‬ ‭3:2-5

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3:2-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are the words you’re speaking into people’s lives edifying or damning? From the ” good morning” to the “what’s wrong with you idiot”. James speaks clearly about the power of the tongue in this scripture just how powerful one little word can affect someone. Today’s prayer is that we would all let God put a bit in our mouths or a rudder on our tongue, that we would edify people no matter how we feel. When someone wrongs you hand it over to God and bite down on that bit……..Be Blessed and tell someone “Good Morning”

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

GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 4 : 6 – 8, REVELATION 21 : 23

“GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. As GOD’S Face shines upon you, you receive nutrients that enhance your growth in grace. GOD designed you to commune with HIM face to Face, and this interaction strengthens your soul. Such communion provides a tiny glimpse of what awaits you in heaven, where all barriers between you and GOD’S Glory will be removed. This meditative time with GOD blesses you doubly: You experience The LORD’S Presence here and now, and you are refreshed by the hope of heaven, where you will know The LORD in ecstatic Joy.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?” Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD. You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. PSALM 4 : 6 – 8

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. REVELATION 21 : 23

Prayer: Lord you have filled my heart with greater joy than words can explain. Help me to grow strong in the light of your presence. Thank you for your presence now and for the hope of Heaven. And thank you for Fridays. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts 4: 11-12

“This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:11-12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

How is your foundation? Steady or sinking? This scripture explains the importance to have your live based on Jesus. Today I pray that we would all have a strong foundation built on Christ not the world….. 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

SPEND TIME WITH GOD for the pure pleasure of being in GOD’S company. – PSALM 63 : 7 – 8, PSALM 119 : 105

“SPEND TIME WITH GOD for the pure pleasure of being in GOD’S company. GOD can brighten up the dullest of gray days; GOD can add sparkle to the routines of daily life. You have to repeat so many tasks day after day. This monotony can dull your thinking until your mind slips into neutral. A mind that is unfocused is vulnerable to “the world, the flesh, and the devil,” all of which exert a downward pull on your thoughts. As your thinking processes deteriorate, you become increasingly confused and directionless. The best remedy is to refocus your mind and heart on GOD, your constant Companion. Even the most confusing day opens up before you as you go step by step with GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

My Presence goes with you wherever you go, providing Light for your path. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. PSALM 63 : 7 – 8

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. PSALM 119 : 105

Prayer: God help me to spend time with you each day so you can refocus my mind and heart on you, my constant companion. Help me to walk step by step with you today. You lead, I’ll follow Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

TRUST GOD in the midst of a messy day. – JOHN 16 : 33, PSALM 105 : 4, JOHN 14 : 27

ttps://youtu.be/6ikYCcZHm-E

“TRUST GOD in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm—your Peace in GOD’S Presence—need not be shaken by what is going on around you. Though you live in this temporal world, your innermost being is rooted and grounded in eternity. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbances around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch GOD’S Peace. Seek The LORD’S Face, and The LORD will share HIS mind with you, opening your eyes to see things from HIS perspective. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. The Peace GOD gives is sufficient for you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you in the midst of a messy day. Don’t let the peace you’ve given me be shaken by any circumstance today. I am grounded and rooted in eternity and nothing can separate me from your love. All because of Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

John‬ ‭8:7-11‬

“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”” John‬ ‭8:7-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A lot of Christians say God loves me just as I am and this is true, but he does not love our sin and wants us to change. Today’s prayer is that we would let God shape our lives without sin so that we can live a life that is pleasing to him in all areas……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 THE ETERNAL “I AM”; GOD has always have been, and GOD always will be. – EXODUS 3 : 14, 1 CORINTHIANS 3 : 16, PSALM 25 : 14 – 15

“GOD IS THE ETERNAL “I AM”; GOD has always have been, and GOD always will be. In GOD’S Presence you experience Love and Light, Peace and Joy. GOD is intimately involved in all your moments, and The LORD is training you to be aware of HIM at all times. Your assignment is to collaborate with GOD in this training process. GOD has taken up residence within you; GOD is central in your innermost being. Your mind goes off in tangents from its holy Center, time after time. Do not be alarmed by your inability to remain focused on GOD. Simply bring your thoughts gently back to GOD each time they wander. The quickest way to redirect your mind to me is to whisper GOD’S Name.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” EXODUS 3 : 14

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 1 CORINTHIANS 3 : 16

The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. PSALM 25 : 14 – 15

Prayer: Lord thank you when I sit in your presence you fill me with love and light, peace and joy. Thank you for being intimately involved in all my moments. Help me to recognize your still small voice more this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke‬ ‭19:10‬

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus came to save the world not condemn it! Jesus went to the lost to show them the way to eternal life, some followed and some didn’t. Today it has remained the same some follow and some have too much pride to understand they need a savior. Today’s prayer is that we would as believers pray for the lost not condemn them…….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 ALL AROUND YOU, hovering over you even as you seek HIS Face. – PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, EPHESIANS 2 : 13, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21

“GOD IS ALL AROUND YOU, hovering over you even as you seek HIS Face. GOD is nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe. If GOD’S children could only recognize HIS Presence, they would never feel lonely again. The LORD knows every thought before you think it, every word before you speak it. GOD’S Presence impinges on your innermost being. Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from GOD? You can easily deceive other people, and even yourself; but GOD reads you like an open, large-print book. Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of The LORD’S imminent Presence. Many people run from The LORD and vehemently deny HIS existence, because GOD’S closeness terrifies them. But GOD’S own children have nothing to fear, for The LORD, Jesus Christ has cleansed them by HIS blood and clothed them in HIS righteousness. Be blessed by The LORD’S intimate nearness. Since GOD lives in you, let GOD also live through you, shining The LORD’S Light into the darkness.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. EPHESIANS 2 : 13

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

Prayer: Lord help me to recognize your presence with me and in me and for me this week. Thank you for the incredible sacrifice Jesus made by dying on the cross for me so I am now right with God for eternity. Never separated again. Thank you, thank you Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.
