GOD IS PREPARING YOU for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. – ISAIAH 64 : 4, JOHN 15 : 5, PSALM 36 : 9

“GOD IS PREPARING YOU for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. Take time to be still in GOD’S Presence so that HE can strengthen you. The busier you become, the more you need this time apart with GOD. So many people think that time spent with GOD is a luxury they cannot afford. As a result, they live and work in their own strength — until that becomes depleted. Then they either cry out to The LORD for help or turn away in bitterness. How much better it is to walk close to GOD, depending on HIS strength and trusting HIM in every situation. If you live in this way, you will do less but accomplish far more. Your unhurried pace of living will stand out in this rush-crazed age. Some people may deem you lazy, but many more will be blessed by your peacefulness. Walk in the Light with GOD, and you will reflect The LORD to the watching world.”

Scripture

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. ISAIAH 64 : 4

“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

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to make time to be still in your presence so that you can strengthen me. Help me to walk slow enough to experience You fully and reflect Jesus’ peace to a watching world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 21

And his name will be the hope of all the world.” Matthew‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 21‬ NLT

Isaiah spoke plain and clear about Jesus in this prophecy. What are you hoping for? Who have you put your hope in? Today’s prayer is that we all would remember who we put our trust in, we put our trust in Jesus Christ the hope of the world, so when the waters get rough remember this scripture …… 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

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 knew that Peter would deny even knowing him, but Jesus 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, but do not stand down, stand firm in your belief. Jesus never stopped loving Peter because of his actions and the same applies to you. Today I pray that the spirit of truth would fill each one with the boldness to witness Jesus to all ………..

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

Proverbs‬ ‭19 ‬: ‭21‬

You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. Proverbs‬ ‭19 ‬: ‭21‬ NLT

I have taken many wrong turns in my lifetime, the life I had before Jesus was my plan, not God’s. Sometimes we think we have it all figured out, we know what would be best for us, ummmm NEGATIVE!!!!! Today I pray that when things don’t go the way we planned them that we would thank God for his ultimate plan, his everlasting plan …….. 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 GIFT that continuously gives — bounteously, with no strings attached. – 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, PSALM 13 : 5

“GOD IS THE GIFT that continuously gives — bounteously, with no strings attached. Unconditional Love is such a radical concept that even GOD’S most devoted followers fail to grasp it fully. Absolutely nothing in heaven or on earth can cause The LORD to stop loving you. You may feel more loved when you are performing according to your expectations. But GOD’S Love for you is perfect; therefore it is not subject to variation. What does vary is your awareness of The LORD’S loving Presence. When you are dissatisfied with your behavior, you tend to feel unworthy of GOD’S Love. You may unconsciously punish yourself by withdrawing from GOD and attributing the distance between you to HIS displeasure. Instead of returning to The LORD and receiving HIS Love, you attempt to earn GOD’S approval by trying harder. All the while, GOD is aching to hold you in HIS everlasting arms, to enfold you in HIS Love. When you are feeling unworthy or unloved, come to GOD. Then ask for receptivity to GOD’S unfailing Love.”

Scripture

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: God I trust you. You know the number of hairs on my head. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2 : 11‬

“The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2 : 11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Merry Christmas to all, there are a lot of traditions that surround Christmas, from decorating the tree, wrapping the presents, singing carols, spending time with family. The celebration of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior. Today’s prayer is that everyone would have a blessed Christmas with their family and friends ……. Be Blessed and remember Jesus is the reason for the season

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 WAIT attentively in GOD’S Presence, the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines upon you. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 6 – 7, LUKE 2 : 13 – 14, 2 CORINTHIANS 8 : 9

“AS YOU WAIT attentively in GOD’S Presence, the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines upon you. This radiant knowledge transcends all understanding. It transforms every fiber of your being: renewing your mind, cleansing your heart, invigorating your body. Open yourself fully to GOD’S Presence; be awed by HIS glorious Being. Try to imagine what The LORD, JESUS CHRIST gave up when HE came to earth as a baby. The LORD set aside HIS Glory, so that The LORD could identify with mankind. JESUS CHRIST accepted the limitations of infancy under the most humble conditions — a stable. Angels lit up the sky proclaiming “Glory!” to awe-struck shepherds. As you sit quietly with GOD, heaven’s vistas open up before you—granting you glimpses of HIS Glory. CHRIST, The LORD became poor so that you might become rich. Sing hallelujahs to The LORD’S Holy Name!”

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

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 6 – 7

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” LUKE 2 : 13 – 14

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. 2 CORINTHIANS 8 : 9

Prayer: Lord, provide peace and joy as we celebrate the true reason for this day—Your coming to earth to live a sinless life and be the perfect sacrifice to restore us to God for eternity. Merry Christmas Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬ :‭ 4 – 5

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. ‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬ :‭ 4 – 5‬ NLT

Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and 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

GOD SPEAKS TO YOU from the depths of eternity. – PSALM 90 : 2, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

“GOD SPEAKS TO YOU from the depths of eternity. Before the world was formed, GOD WAS! You hear GOD in the depths of your being, where HE has taken up residence. GOD is Christ in you, the hope of Glory. JESUS CHRIST, your Lord and Savior, is alive within you. Learn to tune in to GOD’S living Presence by seeking HIM in silence. As you celebrate the wonder of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S birth in Bethlehem, celebrate also your rebirth into eternal life. This everlasting gift was the sole purpose of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S entering your sin-stained world. Receive The LORD’S gift with awe and humility. Take time to explore the vast dimensions of GOD’S Love. Allow thankfulness to flow freely from your heart in response to The LORD’S glorious gift. Let GOD’S Peace rule in your heart, and be thankful.”

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. PSALM 90 : 2

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Prayer: Lord, help me to tune into Your living presence by seeking You in the stillness. Thank You for sending Your Son, who made the ultimate sacrifice so I could be with You forever. This Christmas, help me keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and my heart full of gratitude for all He has done. In His name, I pray. Amen.

‭‭Titus‬ ‭2 : 11

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭2 : 11‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Not one of us is different when it comes to the opportunity of receiving salvation. The difference begins when we choose to reject what Christ did on the Cross. Jesus Christ died that day so that all of us could be set free from the of bondage and sin that we were born into, the sad truth is that many will reject the opportunity. Today’s prayer is that we would be a living testimony to what our salvation has done and is doing in our lives every single day …… Be Blessed
