2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 17‬

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬ :‭ 17‬ ‭

It’s a New Year and 2024 is gone!!! 2025 is a New Year just as we are when we found Jesus!!! It’s up to us how we choose to navigate 2025, do we do it ourselves or do we turn to the Father for direction? Today’s prayer is that 2025 would be a year of blessings, growing, getting closer to God so we can look back on 2025 when it’s over and just smile …… Be Blessed and Happy New Year 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

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

“COME TO THE LORD 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 GOD involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on GOD, be aware that GOD is fully attentive to you. The LORD 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: God help me to have a teachable spirit, ready to be changed this year. To seek your face with an open mind, eager to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. Then I will be able to know what your will is for me Lord. Your good, pleasing, and perfect will. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭15 ‬: ‭4 ‬- ‭5

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15 ‬: ‭4 ‬- ‭5‬ ‭

Have you ever noticed the further you get from God the worse things get? This scripture reminds me of gardening!! If you plant a tree and never water or fertilize it what happens? Death!!! Even if you water it and fertilize it just enough to keep it alive it looks bare and unhealthy. Same with us when we distance ourselves from God we are not our best selves. Today’s prayer is that we would be as close to God as we can get, stay fed and fertilized in The Word and produce our best looking fruits ….. 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 THIS NEW YEAR BEGINS, receive GOD’S Peace. – ISAIAH 9 : 6, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7, JOHN 14 : 26 – 27

https://youtu.be/bC2GTdI4YxU

“AS THIS NEW YEAR BEGINS, receive GOD’S Peace. This is still your deepest need, and The LORD, your Prince of Peace, longs to pour Himself into your neediness. GOD’S abundance and your emptiness are a perfect match. The LORD designed you to have no sufficiency of your own. GOD created you as a jar of clay set apart for sacred use. The LORD wants you to be filled with HIS very Being, permeated through and through with Peace. Thank GOD for HIS peaceful Presence, regardless of your feelings. Whisper The LORD’S Name in loving tenderness. GOD’S Peace, which lives continually in your spirit, will gradually work its way through your entire being.”

Scripture

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9 : 6

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. JOHN 14 : 26 – 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord your peace is my deepest need. Help me to spend time with you, sitting with you in your presence, each day while you fill me. Help me to let go of my ways and surrender fully to your ways this new year. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Colossians‬ ‭3 ‬: ‭1 ‬- ‭2

“Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3 ‬: ‭1 ‬- ‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where do your thoughts live on things that make you happy for an hour? Are your thoughts on earthly possessions or things of Heaven? Today’s prayer is we would always think of things of Heaven not things of earth! Possessions are nice but should not consume your thoughts ….. 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 LEADING YOU along a way that is uniquely right for you. – 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 17, EPHESIANS 2 : 10, 1 JOHN 4 : 7 – 8, JOHN 15 : 4

https://youtu.be/HKMYVFBz92M

“GOD IS LEADING YOU along a way that is uniquely right for you. The closer to GOD you grow, the more fully you become your true self — the one GOD designed you to be. Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with The LORD diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in GOD’S mysterious wisdom and ways, The LORD enables you to follow this solitary path while staying in close contact with others. In fact, the more completely you devote yourself to The LORD, the more freely you can love people. Marvel at the beauty of a life intertwined with GOD’S Presence. Rejoice as you journey together in intimate communion. Enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in GOD.”

Scripture

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 17

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 JOHN 4 : 7 – 8

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. JOHN 15 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to abide in you so I can bear much fruit. The closer to you I grow, the more I become like Christ, the one you designed me to be like. And the better I can love others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lamentations‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 22 – 23‬

The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 22 – 23‬ NLT

Today is a new day, every morning we get a fresh start. It may seem like the trials will never end but God is with us and his love and mercy never stop. Yesterday is gone, today is new. Today I pray that we would give God thanks for everyday and know that he will see us through…….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 PREPARING YOU for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. – ISAIAH 64 : 4, JOHN 15 : 5, PSALM 36 : 9

https://youtu.be/4oDPkvdnMzc

“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

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
