EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. – REVELATION 19 : 1, PSALM 91 : 1

EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. (https://youtu.be/o6oJOs4b43Q)

“EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for GOD. When you became a Christian, GOD infused HIS very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on HIM. Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where GOD wants you—the best place to encounter The LORD in HIS Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to GOD! Allow The LORD to fight for you. Watch GOD working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of GOD’S Almighty Presence.”

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . .” REVELATION 19 : 1

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. PSALM 91 : 1

Prayer: Lord help me to expect adversity beyond what I can handle in this life and allow you to fight my battles for me while I rest in your peaceful shadow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:5-6

“For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.”‭‭ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:5-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you suffering? Is there something that has created a massive amount of stress? Well take heart it’s temporary. Have you ever wondered why God would let us suffer? Maybe because it gives us clear thinking and makes us stronger? God sent his Son to the cross but that did not hold him down, he overcame the grave and that same person lives on the inside of each one of us! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of each suffering we endure and thank God that he will make a way out of it, this life is temporary but heaven is eternal……..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

FIND GOD in the midst of the maelstrom. – PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 11, ISAIAH 43 : 1

https://youtu.be/G1QMCGT3QP0

FIND GOD in the midst of the maelstrom. (https://youtu.be/G1QMCGT3QP0)

“FIND GOD in the midst of the maelstrom. Sometimes events whirl around you so quickly that they become a blur. Whisper The LORD’S Name in recognition that GOD is still with you. Without skipping a beat in the activities that occupy you, you find strength and Peace through praying GOD’S Name. Later, when the happenings have run their course, you can talk with GOD more fully. Accept each day just as it comes to you. Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust GOD enough to yield to HIS design and purposes. Remember that nothing can separate you from GOD’S loving Presence; you are The LORD’S.”

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 11

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. ISAIAH 43 : 1

Prayer: God when life gets hectic, help me to whisper your name, reminding me you are still with me and you are still on the throne. Help me to trust you enough to accept any circumstances you allow in my life today. 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

MEET GOD in early morning splendor. – ISAIAH 40 : 31, PSALM 27 : 4, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8

https://youtu.be/-k-VV5Sr09U

MEET GOD in early morning splendor. (https://youtu.be/-k-VV5Sr09U)

“MEET GOD in early morning splendor. GOD eagerly awaits you there. In the stillness of this holy time with The LORD, HE renews your strength and saturates you with Peace. While others turn over for extra sleep or anxiously tune in to the latest news, you commune with the Creator of the universe. GOD has awakened in your heart a strong desire to know HIM. This longing originated in GOD, though it now burns brightly in you. When you seek The LORD’S Face in response to HIS Love-call, both of you are blessed. This is a deep mystery, designed more for your enjoyment than for your understanding. GOD am not a dour God who discourages pleasure. GOD delights in your enjoyment of everything that is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable. Think on these things, and GOD’S Light in you will shine brighter day by day.”

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 : 31

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. PSALM 27 : 4

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8

Prayer: Lord as I spend quiet time with you, give me just enough strength and joy and peace for today. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you regardless of what the week brings. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Day to day can sometimes seem impossible, always issues in one way or another. This scripture reminds us that no matter what we cannot be defeated in Christ!!! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of this scripture and push on through the troubles in front of 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

Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬

“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We were created to be victors! Not victims!!! We were created to do great things, not mediocre things!!! The world will say different but we are not of this world!!!! Today’s prayer is that when you feel not good enough, you are! When you feel like life is unfair, look at all your blessings! And when you just feel like giving up, Look to the Cross…..Be Blessed and always know you are perfect in God’s eyes

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 weak and weary. – ISAIAH 42 : 3, ISAIAH 54 : 10, ROMANS 8 : 26

https://youtu.be/zRntg–WceM

COME TO GOD when you are weak and weary. (https://youtu.be/zRntg–WceM)

“COME TO GOD when you are weak and weary. Rest snugly in GOD’S everlasting arms. GOD does not despise your weakness, you are HIS child. Actually, it draws The LORD closer to you, because weakness stirs up HIS compassion—HIS yearning to help. Accept yourself in your weariness, knowing that GOD understands how difficult your journey has been. Do not compare yourself with others, who seem to skip along their life-paths with ease. Their journeys have been different from yours, and GOD has gifted them with abundant energy. GOD has gifted you with fragility, providing opportunities for your spirit to blossom in HIS Presence. Accept this gift as a sacred treasure: delicate, yet glowing with brilliant Light. Rather than struggling to disguise or deny your weakness, allow GOD to bless you richly through it.”

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice. ISAIAH 42 : 3

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. ISAIAH 54 : 10

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. ROMANS 8 : 26

Prayer: Lord I come to you when I am weak and weary and rest snugly in your everlasting arms. Thank you for my weaknesses because they remind me to depend on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6‬

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Still think you’re not worthy? Still think you are not good enough? This scripture tells us that even though we were not worthy of God’s grace it was freely given to us because of God’s love for us. Grace is not a license to sin, it’s a reason not too. Today’s prayer is that we would live the life that God ordained for each one of us, when you miss the mark REPENT!!! don’t regress and truly let the grace of God work in your life…….Be Blessed & remember to Bless someone else

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

LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that GOD is with you. – MATTHEW 1 : 23, JOHN 10 : 10 – 11

LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that GOD is with you. (https://youtu.be/HhF2SXn7xlw)

“LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that GOD is with you. GOD crafted you with enormous capacity to know HIM and enjoy HIS Presence. When GOD’S people wear sour faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, GOD is displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in GOD, your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on GOD’S Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify The LORD through your pleasure in HIM. Thus you proclaim GOD’S Presence to the watching world.”

“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 : 23

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” JOHN 10 : 10 – 11

Prayer: Lord help me to enjoy life more and walk through today with childlike delight and joy, savoring every blessing. Help me to focus more on your presence than problems. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
