YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing – LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/eOgcPMMikaE

“YOU ARE ON THE PATH OF GOD’S choosing. There is no randomness about your life. Here and Now comprise the coordinates of your daily life. Most people let their moments slip through their fingers, half-lived. They avoid the present by worrying about the future or longing for a better time and place. They forget that they are creatures who are subject to the limitations of time and space. They forget their Creator, who walks with them only in the present. Every moment is alive with GOD’S glorious Presence, to those whose hearts are intimately connected with GOD’S. As you give yourself more and more to a life of constant communion with The LORD you will find that you simply have no time for worry. Thus, you are freed to let GOD’S Holy Spirit direct your steps, enabling you to walk along the path of Peace.”

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26

“. . . 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: Holy Spirit please direct my steps today, lead me down the path of peace. When I start to worry, gently remind me of your promises to take care of me and never leave me. Help me to focus on enjoying the present in the present. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:5

“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Day to day life can be tough, situations at home, work, social events, etc. being a Christian is to set the example of Jesus and eventually others will want what you have, ” the mind of Jesus” Today’s prayer is that we all would pray for patience, wisdom, kindness, and to be the example in all settings………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

Leviticus‬ ‭17:11

“For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.” Leviticus‬ ‭17:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We never really think about the blood having so much meaning, so much power, so much importance. In the Old Testament blood was necessary to atone for sin the need for a sacrifice was the only way of atonement then BAM!!!!! Jesus came to earth as the everlasting sacrifice. The blood of Jesus was shed for complete everlasting atonement for our sin. Today’s prayer is thank you Father for loving us so much that you sent your Son to be our everlasting atonement and let us realize the power of his blood………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

‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭9‬:‭1-6‬ NLT

Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” ‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭9‬:‭1-6‬ NLT

Saul was one of the most dangerous threats to the Christians of all times, but God had a major plan for him. The transformation from Saul to Paul was amazing and God is still transforming people in the same way today. Paul went on to write more than half of the New Testament and is considered one of the greatest apostles of Christ. Today’s prayer is that God would work that same miracle in the ones that persecute the Christians today and that they would see the Lord for who he is……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

AS YOU LOOK into the day that stretches out before you, you see many choice-points along the way. – LAMENTATIONS 3 : 22 – 26, PSALM 34 : 8

https://youtu.be/h95CQfJW0cQ

“AS YOU LOOK into the day that stretches out before you, you see many choice-points along the way. The myriad possibilities these choices present can confuse you. Draw your mind back to the threshold of this day, where GOD stands beside you, lovingly preparing you for what is ahead. You must make your choices one at a time, since each is contingent upon the decision that precedes it. Instead of trying to create a mental map of your path through this day, focus on GOD’S loving Presence with you. GOD will equip you as you go, so that you can handle whatever comes your way. Trust GOD to supply what you need when you need it.”

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 22 – 26

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! PSALM 34 : 8 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord as I slow down and sit in your presence, reorient my mind to focus on you and not the myriad of choice-points that lie ahead. Thank you that your mercy is new every morning. You are my daily bread, my portion, my rock. And you are all I need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke‬ ‭4:18-21

““The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”” Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus showed all kinds of wonders and miracles but many still did not believe. The Pharisees and Sadducees were so well versed in the law but they still would not believe that the Messiah was among them. Today the same remains, people are receiving healing & miracles in the lowest times of their life but still don’t see. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the spirit of God to fall on all with a hardened heart that they may believe in the one true living God, Jesus told them back then and we are telling them today…….Be Blessed and Testify!!!!!!

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 with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. – JOHN 17 : 20 – 23, ISAIAH 40 : 29 – 31, JOHN 17 : 20 – 23

https://youtu.be/XGGICo-b-Jw

COME TO GOD with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. GOD knows the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to GOD for nurture. Let The LORD fill you up with HIS Presence: GOD in you, and you in GOD. GOD’S Power flows most freely into weak ones aware of their need for HIM . Faltering steps of dependence are not lack of faith; they are links to GOD’S Presence.”

“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

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 29 – 31

Prayer: God I come to you with empty hands and an open heart. Align the desires of my heart to yours. May every word that comes out of my mouth be a pleasing aroma to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭24:9-14

““Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:9-14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

There is ONE gospel!!! Not a watered down sugar coated version. Today there are so many versions of the gospel no wonder there is so much confusion. The bible is a direct reflection of who we are to be, we are in the end times and more important than ever we need to be bold and accurate of the gospel. Today’s prayer is that we would be in prayer asking for discernment and Gods knowledge on how and who to reach with the living truth of God…….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

WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/jbekQS8d_Zg

“WELCOME PROBLEMS as perspective-lifters. GOD’S children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacle that stymies them. If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from GOD’S perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward GOD, and see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining upon you.”

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16 – 18

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer: God help me to see problems as opportunities to see things from your perspective. Jesus told us in this life we will have trouble so prepare my heart for future trouble, Lord. I know when I spend time with you, I’m storing up credit to be used when trouble comes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. ‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16-17‬ NLT

Need direction? Always trying to do better but seem to stay the same? This scripture says to let the Holy Spirit direct you and then you won’t be caught in the sinful nature. Today I pray we all would let the spirit direct our paths and see how life becomes more fulfilling…….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
