1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬ :‭ 12‬

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬ :‭ 12‬ ESV

Do you have an identity crisis? Are you searching for who you truly are? Do you see a reflection of the things of JESUS CHRIST or the world? This scripture explains that we see a dim image, as Christians we are the righteousness of JESUS CHRIST, we may not appear that way in the natural but spiritually we are. Today I pray that we would all know our identity, that one day we will stand face to face with Our LORD and truly see who we are ….. 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

John‬ ‭3 : 11‬

“Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It is hard for some to understand your testimony, especially those who do not know The LORD. We all have our individual GOD story and that is for a reason, we all are called differently. Today’s prayer is that we would stay strong to our testimony to witness people to JESUS CHRIST and HE will do the rest ……. 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

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

WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem — one that goes on and on — view it as a rich opportunity to trust in GOD | ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

https://youtu.be/ypfwT8Yq_dQ

“WHEN YOU ARE PLAGUED by a persistent problem — one that goes on and on — view it as a rich opportunity to trust in GOD. An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by your side. The learning possibilities are limited only by your willingness to be teachable. In faith, thank GOD for your problem. Ask The LORD to open your eyes and your heart to all that HE is accomplishing through this difficulty. Once you have become grateful for a problem, it loses its power to drag you down. On the contrary, your thankful attitude will lift you up into heavenly places with GOD. From this perspective, your difficulty can be seen as a slight, temporary distress that is producing for you a transcendent Glory never to cease!”

Scripture

Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 20 – 21 

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17 

Prayer

Prayer: God open my eyes and my heart to see all that you are accomplishing through difficulties in my life. An ongoing problem is like a tutor always by my side. Help me to be open to the lessons you’d want me to learn. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke 22 : 31 – 34

And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.” Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.” Luke 22 : 31 – 34 NKJV

JESUS CHRIST knew that Peter would deny even knowing him, but JESUS CHRIST also knew that HE would build HIS church using Peter as the main brick. In life, in certain circumstances it’s easy to deny the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, but do not stand down, stand firm in your belief. JESUS CHRIST never stopped loving Peter because of his actions and the same applies to you. Today I pray that the spirit of truth will fill each one with the boldness to witness JESUS CHRIST to all ……….. Be Blessed!!

COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in GOD you are complete. | 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6,  MATTHEW 5 : 3,6, COLOSSIANS 2 : 9 – 10 , PSALM 150 : 6

https://youtu.be/gVTgNnRaqmA

“COME TO GOD with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in GOD you are complete. As you rest quietly in The LORD’S Presence, HIS Light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with GOD’S fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on GOD in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. GOD is HE from whom all blessings flow!”

Scripture

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. . . . Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” MATTHEW 5 : 3,6

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. COLOSSIANS 2 : 9 – 10

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. PSALM 150 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, in this busy Christmas season, help me intentionally make time to rest quietly in Your presence. On the days I feel depleted or lacking, remind me that this is the perfect day to depend fully on You with childlike trust. And as I do, may joy and peace walk beside me as faithful companions. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1 Peter‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 9

“Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 9‬ ‭NIV

First instinct to get mad right? To plot revenge? This scripture is clear on how we should be, repay evil with a blessing. This is a hard one to swallow right? Today’s prayer is we would all respond in the way of Jesus Christ! Calm, cool, collective , Be Blessed

Proverbs‬ ‭18 : 12

“Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you on top of the world? Is life the best it’s ever been for you? Careful that’s when the enemy will come against you the hardest in my opinion. This proverb speaks of being haughty and humble, which are you? Today’s prayer is that we all would humble ourselves at the foot of our blessings and always stand guard against haughtiness for that will bring destruction ……. Be Blessed and 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

YOUR LONGING FOR HEAVEN IS GOOD, because it is an extension of your yearning for GOD | ROMANS 8 : 23 – 25, HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20, ROMANS 15 : 13

https://youtu.be/LSg-SqUAsk8

“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, JESUS CHRIST 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

Prayers

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the hope of heaven that keeps my heart anchored in You. Let that sure hope strengthen me in hard moments and fill me with joy as I walk with You today. By Your Spirit, help me overflow with hope and be more aware of Your nearness. Amen.

John‬ ‭17 ‬: ‭22 – 23‬

“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. John‬ ‭17 ‬: ‭22 – 23‬ NLT

JESUS CHRIST said HE gave us perfect unity so that our witness will be different from the world, how is your witness working out? Do you respond to situations like someone who doesn’t know JESUS CHRIST? Or do you respond to the values of the promise HE gave us? Today I pray that our responses would be filled with faith and on the foundation of GOD’S living word and promise ….. Be Blessed
