Daily Devotional Video 5/28/2020 – 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16, JAMES 4 : 8, ACTS 17 : 28 , PSALM 145 : 3 – 6

https://youtu.be/2NIp6W5AZPs

“LET GOD ANOINT YOU with HIS Presence. GOD is King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable Light. When you draw near to GOD, HE responds by coming closer to you. As GOD’S Presence envelops you, you may feel overwhelmed by HIS Power and Glory. This is a form of worship: sensing your smallness in comparison to GOD’S Greatness. Man has tended to make himself the measure of all things. But man’s measure is too tiny to comprehend The LORD’S majestic vastness. That is why most people do not see GOD at all, even though they live and move and have their being in GOD. Enjoy the radiant beauty of GOD’S Presence. Declare GOD’S glorious Being to the world!” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16

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

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. PSALM 145 : 3 – 6

Prayer: Lord I come close to you today. Envelop me in your loving arms. Hold me close. And open my eyes to see more of you in and around me today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 5/27/2020 – PSALM 27 : 8, ROMANS 13 : 14, COLOSSIANS 3 : 12

https://youtu.be/3boCNDxG_Ug

Praise report update: Week or so ago I made a special prayer request for a Mom named Brandi and her daughter Layla – I got an update this morning that both are doing well and doors were opened for them that had been closed these doors have allowed Brandi and Layla to move to where they have the family support they need to not only stay together but for Brandi to get the help she needs to get back on track. PRAYERS WORK!!!

“SEEK GOD’S FACE at the beginning of your day. This practice enables you to “put GOD on” and “wear GOD” throughout the day. Most people put on clothes soon after arising from bed. Similarly, the sooner you “put GOD on” by communicating with GOD, the better prepared you are for whatever comes your way. To “wear GOD” is essentially to have GOD’S mind: to think HIS thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit to control your thinking; be transformed by this renewal within you. Thus you are well equipped to face whatever people and situations GOD brings your way. Clothing your mind in GOD is your best preparation for each day. This discipline brings Joy and Peace to you and those around you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” PSALM 27 : 8 (NKJV)

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. ROMANS 13 : 14

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. COLOSSIANS 3 : 12

Prayer: Lord help me to prioritize seeking you each morning, to put you in as I do my clothes. Holy Spirit control my thoughts today, make them obedient to Christ. And let compassion for others abound and overflow in and through me today just as Jesus shows me compassion. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭16:3

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you seeking council from the Lord in all you do? Are you dealing with the feeling that a particular situation isn’t right?. This proverb says commit to the Lord in whatever you do! Not commit to some things. Today’s prayer is that we would have so much faith in God’s plan for us that we would seek him first and trust that he will give us the proper decision…….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

Romans‬ ‭7:6

“But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.” Romans‬ ‭7:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We are not born a perfect person! We will never be a perfect person in the flesh! But in the spirit we are one with Christ! The law was perfect and we are not so how could we live that life? Only one was perfect and he made a way for us to live that same perfect life spiritually. Hold on you say, are you saying we are perfect? Absolutely we are in the eyes of God because we are covered by Calvary and what Jesus did for us! Today’s prayer is that we would all as Christians not be shook by Covid 19 or shook by the past due bills, because we are children of God and it’s tome to act like it!!! Pray hard for all, live life too your best, be kind too all, and last but not least let the light of Jesus shine in all you do….. 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

Daily Devotional Video 5/26/2020 – REVELATION 22 : 13, JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/ingqFbsKCig

“IN A WORLD of unrelenting changes, GOD is the One who never changes. GOD is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Find in GOD the stability for which you have yearned. GOD created a beautifully ordered world: one that reflected HIS perfection. Now, however, the world is under the bondage of sin and evil. Every person on the planet faces gaping jaws of uncertainty. The only antidote to this poisonous threat is drawing closer to GOD. In GOD’S Presence you can face uncertainty with perfect Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” REVELATION 22 : 13

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 ESV

Prayer: Jesus thank you for defeating death and overcoming the world. When I face uncertainty, help me to draw close to you, where I can have perfect peace despite any circumstance. You are my rock and my firm foundation. In you I am completely safe. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 16:23-24

“And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:23-24 NKJV)

Prayer is the most powerful pathway we have to God. Jesus said ask and you will receive, he said knock and the door will be opened, are you asking in the the name of Jesus ? Are you knocking in the name of Jesus ? If not do so, do not do it in some religious tradition, but believe for it!!!! Today I pray that we would all understand the power of prayer and believe that what we pray has already been done ” In Jesus mighty name”……..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

Daily Devotional Video 5/25/2020 – ISAIAH 41 : 10, ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17, PSALM 34 : 19

https://youtu.be/1ojTOjYU4WU

“THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH YOU, YOU ARE GOD’S child. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave GOD out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though GOD yearns to help, GOD will not violate your freedom. The LORD stands silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that GOD is with you. When you turn from your problems to GOD’S Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but GOD and you carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to “fix” everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with GOD. Together GOD and you can handle whatever this day brings.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17

A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all. PSALM 34 : 19

Prayer: Lord, when my mind leaps from problem to problem, help me to turn from my problem and focus on your presence and your promises. To turn to your word which is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path. Your word never returns void. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬

Word of the day – Pray

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. (‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1-6‬ NLT)

Are you praying for someone you love? Are you praying for a casual friend? Are you praying for someone with a different belief other than Jesus? Are you praying for the leaders of the world? All of these should be on the prayer list. Paul was in prison in Rome yet he says pray for all because there is one God for all. Today I pray that we would all put aside any thought that someone does not need prayer, don’t just pray for friends and loved ones, pray for the non believer and the nations………Be Blessed

2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:5‬

“May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The bible says the condition of a mans heart defines him, what is the condition of your heart? Do you give expecting? Do you help out but complain? God knows our heart even though we can camouflage it. Today’s prayer is that we would have the heart of Jesus, all giving and giving with nothing but love never expecting anything in return…….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

‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭6-9‬

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. (‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭6-9‬ NLT)

Are you or someone waiting until you get your act cleaned up before you go to the lord for salvation? Do you say ” I will get right someday”? Today is that day. Jesus did not put a requirement to be perfect before you can make him Lord of your life!!! He died for ALL and all you have to do is call upon his name. Today I pray that any who are waiting to know the Lord would lay down the pride and foolishness and accept what Jesus did for us on the cross……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
