YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. – PSALM 34 : 17– 18, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

“YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. People usually associate victory with success: not falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their own strength tend to go their own way, forgetting about GOD. It is through problems and failure, weakness and neediness that you learn to rely on The LORD. True dependence is not simply asking GOD to bless what you have decided to do. It is coming to GOD with an open mind and heart, inviting The LORD to plant HIS desires within you. The LORD may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on GOD. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on GOD as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of multiple failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on The LORD. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life, through deepening your dependence on GOD.”

Scripture

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSALM 34 : 17– 18

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to live in deeper dependence on you this year. Plant your desires within me and help me surrender my plans to yours and walk with you one step at a time. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭1

”So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.“ ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s time to rise up!!! I say rise up!!! As a mature Christian we should be in prayer at all times!! As baby Christians we should be doing the same thing. God hears our prayers even when we don’t think he does. Today’s prayer is that we would not only pray for our loved ones but also be praying for strangers, our Country, our bosses, and even our enemies!!!! Now is the time to rise up in all areas and let God handle the rest……..Be Blessed and Pray Hard!!!!!

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 WANTS YOU TO LEARN A NEW HABIT. – PSALM 63 : 2, ISAIAH 40 : 10 – 11, PSALM 139 : 7 – 10

“GOD WANTS YOU TO LEARN A NEW HABIT. Try saying, “I trust You, Jesus” in response to whatever happens to you. If there is time, think about who GOD is in all HIS Power and Glory; ponder also the depth and breadth of GOD’S Love for you. This simple practice will help you see GOD in every situation, acknowledging HIS sovereign control over the universe. When you view events from this perspective – through the Light of GOD’S universal Presence – fear loses its grip on you. Adverse circumstances become growth opportunities when you affirm your trust in The LORD no matter what. You receive blessings gratefully, realizing they flow directly from GOD’S hand of grace. Your continual assertion of trusting The LORD will strengthen your relationship and keep you close to GOD.”

Scripture

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. PSALM 63 : 2

See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. ISAIAH 40 : 10 – 11

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139 : 7 – 10

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. You never change. Help me to see you in every situation and trust that nothing is a surprise to you. All good things are a blessing from you and all trials you promise to use for good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬

”Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.“ ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

2 days into the New Year and things are not going very smoothly or are they? This scripture says endure trials as they will make you stronger!!!! Nowhere in the Bible does it say being a Christian will be easy!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we will always see the triumph in the trials and thank Jesus for each and every one…….Be Blessed and stay prayed up.

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

REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 31 : 19–20, JOHN 16 : 33

“REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. This Peace can be your portion at all times and in all circumstances. Learn to hide in the secret of GOD’S Presence, even as you carry out your duties in the world. GOD is both with you and within you. The LORD goes before you to open up the way, and HE also walks alongside you. There could never be another companion as devoted as GOD. Because GOD is your constant Companion, there should be a lightness to your step that is observable to others. Do not be weighed down with problems and unresolved issues, for The LORD is your burden-bearer. In the world you have trials and distress, but don’t let them get you down. The LORD has conquered the world and deprived it of power to harm you. In GOD you may have confident Peace.”

Scripture

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. PSALM 31 : 19–20 (NKJV)

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 
JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for being my most devoted companion who paves the path for me, holds my hand along the way, and is in me and with me at all times. Hide me in the secret place of your presence today Lord and fill me with confident peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:5‬

“Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the LORD understand all.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sin has consequences and those who truly know the Lord understand that, those who do not know the Lord live frivolously and do whatever pleases them. This proverb is crystal clear if you know the Lord! Justice is consequences for what has been done and if you truly know the Lord you know better than to commit the act. Today’s prayer is that we would tell everyone how the grace of the Lord has saved us and shown us how we should live, tell all and pray for those who do not receive……… Be Blessed and Pray up in 2024

COME TO GOD with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. – ROMANS 12 : 2, JEREMIAH 29 : 11

“COME TO GOD with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with GOD is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek The LORD’S Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with HIM involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on GOD, be aware that The LORD is fully attentive to you. GOD sees you with a steady eye, because HIS attention span is infinite. GOD knows and understands you completely; GOD’S thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. The LORD also knows the plans HE has for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to this adventure of increasing attentiveness to GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord put in me a teachable spirit. Allowing you to renew and transform my mind to look more and more like Christ. Thank you for your good, pleasing, and perfect will for my life Lord. Open the eyes of my heart to hear and obey wherever you may lead me this year. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ NLT

Sometimes we let the circumstances defeat us, we feel like the whole world is against us!!!! Take heart and know the God who loves us and saved us from eternal hell. God’s plans for us are to prosper and excel, not live defeated in a broken world…..today I pray that all would understand the love that God has for each and every one of us, he is always with us to see us through the trials……..Be Blessed
