Romans‬ ‭13:11

“This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When you first became a Christian remember that feeling of satisfaction you had? That completeness that you felt inside? The feeling that Jesus was right there with you every step of the way? Do you still feel that feeling? If you don’t it’s time to wake up and realize that nothing has changed! You have changed, the world events have changed, but Jesus never changes!!! He is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would all re-embrace that feeling we first had as believers, Jesus is there and he will always be there through any trial or tribulation, wake up that lion that lives on your inside…….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

COME TO GOD when you are hurting, and HE will soothe your pain. – JOHN 15 : 5, JAMES 1 : 4

https://youtu.be/irqa98eNtNU

“COME TO GOD when you are hurting, and HE will soothe your pain. Come to GOD when you are joyful, and HE will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over. GOD is All you need, just when you need it. Your deepest desires find fulfillment in CHRIST, The LORD alone. This is the age of self-help. Bookstores abound with books about “taking care of number one,” making oneself the center of all things. The main goal of these methodologies is to become self-sufficient and confident. You, however, have been called to take a “road less traveled”: continual dependence on GOD. True confidence comes from knowing you are complete in The LORD’S Presence. Everything you need has its counterpart in GOD.”

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

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. JAMES 1 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: God teach me you are all I need, just when I need it. My deepest desires find fulfillment in you alone. And in you alone I find true rest. Thank you Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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 or the world? This scripture explains that we see a dim image, as Christians we are the righteousness of Jesus, 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

THE LORD IS GOD WITH YOU, for all time and throughout eternity. – MATTHEW 1 : 21,23, ACTS 2 : 28

https://youtu.be/7YeJ_sA9jt4

“THE LORD IS GOD WITH YOU, for all time and throughout eternity. Don’t let the familiarity of that concept numb its impact on your consciousness. GOD’S perpetual Presence with you can be a continual source of Joy, springing up and flowing out in streams of abundant Life. Let your mind reverberate with meanings of GOD’S Names: Jesus—the Lord saves, and Emmanuel—God with us. Strive to remain conscious of The LORD’S Presence even in your busiest moments. Talk with GOD about whatever delights you, whatever upsets you, whatever is on your mind. These tiny steps of daily discipline, taken one after the other, will keep you close to GOD on the path of Life.”

Scripture

“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” . . . “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 21,23

“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” ACTS 2 : 28

Prayer

Prayer: God help me never to let the familiarity of Jesus’ sacrifice numb its impact. We love you because you first loved us. You proved it by sending your one and only son to die for my sins, to pay a debt I could never repay, so I could live with you here and now and for eternity. Thank you Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭5:13

“For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians‬ ‭5:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The definition of Liberty is “Freedom”. This scripture speaks of freedom and says do not use it as a free pass to sin. Grace brings freedom by the Cross, and all things are made new by Jesus Christ. Today’s prayer is we would all embrace our freedom in Christ and strive to be more like him in every way. I pray we do not use our freedom to satisfy ourselves, but to do a good work in Jesus name…….Be Blessed

LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES of Peace. – PSALM 23 : 1 – 3, GENESIS 2 : 2 – 3, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/rEPWzIs_b9s

“LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES of Peace. Learn to unwind whenever possible, resting in the Presence of your Shepherd. This electronic age keeps GOD’S children “wired” much of the time, too tense to find GOD in the midst of their moments. GOD built into your very being the need for rest. How twisted the world has become when people feel guilty about meeting this basic need! How much time and energy they waste by being always on the go, rather than taking time to seek The LORD’s direction for their lives. GOD has called you to walk with HIM down paths of Peace. GOD wants you to blaze a trail for others who desire to live in HIS peaceful Presence. The LORD has chosen you less for your strengths than for your weaknesses, which amplify your need for HIM. Depend on GOD more and more, and HE will shower Peace on all your paths.”

Scripture

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. GENESIS 2 : 2 – 3

“ . . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: Lord teach me to lie down in green pastures of peace. To rest in your presence, often. To be still and know that you are God. To listen for your direction before taking a step. Quiet my spirit Lord, make your voice louder than any other. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18-19‬

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Life is full of ups and downs but as believers we have a hope in Jesus. Paul writes about our “present” sufferings and how awesome it will be in heaven someday. Heaven will have no more suffering, no more pain, no more tears. Today’s prayer is that we would all stay in hope of our life when we truly get home and realize this is all just temporary……..Be Blessed

AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION to GOD, feel the Light of HIS Presence shining upon you. – JOHN 17 : 20 – 23, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/qmONABeC2cg

“AS YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION to GOD, feel the Light of HIS Presence shining upon you. Open your mind and heart to receive GOD’S heavenly smile of approval. Let GOD’S gold-tinged Love wash over you and soak into the depths of your being. As you are increasingly filled with The LORD’S Being, you experience joyous union with GOD: GOD in you, and you in GOD. Your Joy-in-The LORD and HIS Joy-in-you become intertwined and inseparable. GOD suffuses your soul with Joy in HIS Presence; at GOD’S right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”

Scripture

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” JOHN 17 : 20 – 23

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for showing me the path of life, the path full of joy and pleasure in You. Use me, with truth and love, to help the world to see more of You and less of me. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Colossians‬ ‭1:13-14

“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:13-14‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Remember when you didn’t belong to Jesus? Your life had a very trivial meaning. The life you lived in sin was destined for a eternity of doom!! But now you have a life of eternity in heaven. Today’s prayer is that we would always give thanks to God for the precious gift that he has given us…….Be Blessed

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:7-8

“Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:7-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It’s so easy to get caught up in the ways of the world in a daily basis but that is not who we are. This scripture tells us that we once were doomed but now we are saved!!!! Let’s act like it.

Today’s prayer is that we would live a life that is pleasing to God and guard against our old ways……. Be Blessed
