DEMONSTRATE YOUR TRUST IN GOD by sitting quietly in HIS Presence. – LUKE 12 : 22 – 26, EPHESIANS 6 : 12, PROVERBS 16 : 3

https://youtu.be/gvl0eBOCsBA

“DEMONSTRATE YOUR TRUST IN GOD by sitting quietly in HIS Presence. Put aside all that is waiting to be done, and refuse to worry about anything. This sacred time together strengthens you and prepares you to face whatever the day will bring. By waiting with GOD before you begin the day’s activities, you proclaim the reality of The LORD’S living Presence. This act of faith—waiting before working—is noted in the spirit world, where your demonstration of trust weakens principalities and powers of darkness. The most effective way to resist evil is to draw near GOD. When you need to take action, GOD will guide you clearly through HIS Holy Spirit and HIS Word. The world is so complex and overstimulating that you can easily lose your sense of direction. Doing countless unnecessary activities will dissipate your energy. When you spend time with GOD, The LORD restores your sense of direction. As you look to GOD for guidance, The LORD enables you to do less but accomplish more.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 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 : 22 – 26

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. EPHESIANS 6 : 12

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. PROVERBS 16 : 3

Personal Note

Personal Note: Part of my work week morning routine is to wake early enough so I can spend time in prayer and The Bible before the demands of work and family start. However part of my work involves working with people across the world and sometimes I wake up to emails for tasks that are already needed. At those times I struggle to prioritize / balance my early AM work responsibilities with spending time with GOD and in HIS Word. Today’s message is a good reminder that the struggle is ALWAYS worth it.

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to make time each day to sit quietly in your presence, putting aside all that is waiting to be done, refusing to worry about anything. To wait before working – allowing you to strengthen and prepare me to face whatever the day will bring. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:27

“Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:27‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Although we have been forgiven all our sin as believers, continuing to live in sin has it’s consequences!!! The day we found Jesus we became a new creation, a new person, although we are still tempted by the worldly things we are a changed person. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the Holy Spirit to help us to live a life that is pleasing to 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

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

https://youtu.be/Qx5PHTAWp8w

“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 The LORD’S Glory will be removed. This meditative time with GOD blesses you doubly: You experience GOD”S Presence here and now, and you are refreshed by the hope of heaven, where you will know The LORD in ecstatic Joy.”

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. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭6-8‬

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. ‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭6-8‬ NLT

Have you ever seen yourself trying to be something you’re not? Try to force a gift out of your human nature? God has gifted each one of us in his own special way, and like the whole body each part performs it’s own function, a hand will not work without fingers, and a foot will not work without toes. Today I pray that each one of us would operate in the gift that God has given us and bring the body of Christ to the fullness………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 ‭1:8-12‬

“He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—” John‬ ‭1:8-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

John knew he was not the light or the Savior, he knew his assignment, to tell all of the one who was coming. Jesus trusts that we as disciples will do the exact same thing, “Tell the world” Today’s prayer is that we would all have the boldness and words to witness to all the non believers…….Be Blessed & witness away

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

Micah‬ ‭7:18-19‬

“Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.” Micah‬ ‭7:18-19‬ ‭


Do you have a problem with forgiving people? Do you hold a grudge? Have you not forgiven someone still today for something they did to you years ago? We as humans put a measure on sin, we measure how bad someone hurt us by the emotional feeling we have, but in God’s eyes it’s all the same and he forgives us. Today’s prayer is that we all would be forgiving in all circumstances, as bad as something may hurt just remember God almighty himself forgave us…….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 always have been, and GOD always will be. – EXODUS 3 : 14, 1 CORINTHIANS 3 : 16, PSALM 25 : 14 – 15

https://youtu.be/MCBpUCdFGUY

“GOD IS THE ETERNAL “I AM”; GOD always have been, and GOD always will be. In GOD’s Presence you experience Love and Light, Peace and Joy. The LORD is intimately involved in all your moments, and GOD is training you to be aware of HIM at all times. Your assignment is to collaborate with The LORD in this training process. Christ, The LORD has taken up residence within you; The LORD 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 “The LORD’S” Name.”

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: God thank you for being the eternal “I AM” who always has been and always will be. Continue to teach me to be aware of you at all times. Open my eyes and heart to you more. As I actively seek you, it’s so exciting waiting expectantly for you to exceed all I could ask or think or imagine. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭13:3‬

“Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Careful what you say!!!! Speaking negative is speaking death into the situation, speaking positive is to speak life into the situation. It is so easy to get caught up into gossip and that is complete death!!! Think about how good you feel when you have a conversation about your faith, well there’s the answer. Today’s prayer is that in the midst of a situation to speak death leave, or speak positive…….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

https://youtu.be/rVWXVvlnekE

“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. The LORD’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 GOD and vehemently deny HIS existence, because GOD’s closeness terrifies them. But The LORD’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 GOD’s intimate nearness. Since GOD lives in you, let GOD also live through you, shining GOD’s Light into the darkness.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord help me to be more aware of your presence. Thank you for living in me and through me. Fill me with the fruits of the Spirit as I spend time with you. This daily time is a direct link to my level of peace and joy. If I feel distant from you, I know which of us has moved. Help me return to my center in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭8‬:‭12

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” ‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ NLT

Jesus brought light into a darkened world, from the beginning God’s plan was to have a perfect life for mankind But that was lost in the garden when sin entered. Today Jesus has conquered that sin once and for all!!! As believers we have that eternal light, that eternal life. Today I pray that even in this darkened world that we would let our light shine knowing the eternal promise we have in Jesus Christ …..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
