Philippians‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 20‬

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, Philippians‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 20‬ NIV

In the world today you have to wonder what is going on? All the things that are going on around us have to make you go “WOW!”. As Christians we should know what’s going on, The Lord spoke about all these things in the end times. No one likes to hear the statement “end times” but it’s reality. Our home is in heaven with The Lord, not here on earth! It’s temporary. Today’s prayer is that during the days we live on earth that we would witness the love of Jesus Christ to all ……. 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

THANK GOD FREQUENTLY as you journey through today. | 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18, JAMES 4 : 8, ROMANS 15 : 13

https://youtu.be/PAesQQS0aKc

“THANK GOD FREQUENTLY as you journey through today. This practice makes it possible to pray without ceasing, as the apostle Paul taught. If you are serious about learning to pray continually, the best approach is to thank GOD in every situation. These thankful prayers provide a solid foundation on which you can build all your other prayers. Moreover, a grateful attitude makes it easier for you to communicate with GOD. When your mind is occupied with thanking The LORD, you have no time for worrying or complaining. If you practice thankfulness consistently, negative thought patterns will gradually grow weaker and weaker. Draw near to The LORD with a grateful heart, and GOD’S Presence will fill you with Joy and Peace.”

Scripture

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18 (KJV) 

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4 : 8 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, teach me to keep a thankful heart today so my mind stays set on You instead of worry or complaint. Help gratitude become my steady rhythm, opening my heart to Your peace and joy in every moment. Draw me close as I walk through this day with You.

James‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭10

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Lord loves when we are humble, how’s your humble working? Do you always have to be right? Do you boast at all you have? Or do you let humility take charge? Today’s prayer is we would all humble ourselves to all! Meekness is not weakness, it’s the power of GOD that is pleasing to HIM…….Be humble and Be Blessed

THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. | EPHESIANS 5 : 20, PSALM 118 : 1, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/3CF7VKKVCKQ

“THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. That is why GOD has instructed you to give thanks for everything. There is an element of mystery in this transaction: You give GOD thanks (regardless of your feelings), and GOD gives you Joy (regardless of your circumstances). This is a spiritual act of obedience — at times, blind obedience. To people who don’t know The LORD intimately, it can seem irrational and even impossible to thank HIM for heart rending hardships. Nonetheless, those who obey GOD in this way are invariably blessed, even though difficulties may remain. Thankfulness opens your heart to The LORD’S Presence and your mind to HIS thoughts. You may still be in the same place, with the same set of circumstances, but it is as if a light has been switched on, enabling you to see from GOD’S perspective. It is this Light of GOD’S Presence that removes the sting from adversity.”

Scripture

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20 

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. PSALM 118 : 1 

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God as I give you thanks regardless of my circumstances, open my heart to your presence and my mind to your thoughts. Remove the sting from adversity as my eyes are fixed on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭1 : 14 – 15

“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.” James‬ ‭1 : 14 – 15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Temptation is not the sin, what giving into the temptation produces is sin. We are tempted in many different ways daily and I believe our closeness to God determines how we react to temptation. Today’s prayer is that our relationship would be so strong with God that temptation has no impact ……. Be Blessed

THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. | LUKE 24 : 36, MATTHEW 28 : 20, HEBREWS 13 : 15

https://youtu.be/qpUJYRz5jQc

“THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. These are gifts of supernatural proportions. Ever since the resurrection, The LORD has comforted HIS followers with these messages: Peace be with you, and The LORD is with you always. Listen as GOD offers you HIS Peace and Presence in full measure. The best way to receive these glorious gifts is to thank The LORD for them. It is impossible to spend too much time thanking and praising GOD. GOD created you first and foremost to glorify HIM. Thanksgiving and praise put you in proper relationship with GOD, opening the way for The LORD’S riches to flow into you. As you thank GOD for HIS Presence and Peace, you appropriate GOD’S richest gifts.”

Scripture

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” LUKE 24 : 36 

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20 

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank You for being with me and for the steady peace. Help me to maintain a grateful heart today knowing every good and perfect gift comes from you. Let my praise honor You and shape my whole perspective today. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬ : ‭4 ‬- ‭7

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬ : ‭4 ‬- ‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Situations control your demeanor! Or do they? Is your first response prayer or lashing? Prayer is the most powerful communication we have! Have you ever noticed if you choose prayer first there is a peace that is so calming you just feel good? Today’s prayer is we would respond with grace to difficult situations and choose prayer first in all things …… Be Blessed

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29 : 11‬

“A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29 : 11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you vent about everything? Or do you take it to The Lord? This proverb calls venting foolish, but to hold the feelings back is wise. Today’s prayer is that we would not vent! Venting becomes gossip and I believe this is displeasing to GOD, take your issues to GOD! That is the wise choice! ……. Be Blessed

‭‭Job‬ ‭10 : 12

“You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care.” ‭‭Job‬ ‭10 : 12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

GOD cares for you! When it seems like you don’t have a friend in the world, you have a friend in GOD. Job went through some of the most life altering trials but still knew that GOD was there for him. Today’s prayer is that when we go through trials we would think of Job and have the same praising attitude that he had, praise GOD in the sunshine and in the storms ……… 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 PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. | EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19, PSALM 62 : 8

https://youtu.be/3GeP-c-XiBA

“GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. Allow yourself to become fully aware of GOD’S pleasure shining upon you. You don’t have to perform well in order to receive GOD’S Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from The LORD, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don’t measure up to your expectations. Shift your focus from your performance to GOD’S radiant Presence. The Light of The LORD’S Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love. Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank GOD for everything; trust in The LORD at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to GOD’S loving Presence.”

Scripture

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9 

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19 

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank you that I don’t have to perform well to receive your love. Your love is unchangeable and unconditional. Nothing I do could make you love me more or less. You are the constant rock on which I stand. Teach me to love like you do. In Jesus’ name. Amen
