https://youtu.be/eShg5JG_RAw

“TRUST GOD IN EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE. Nothing is random in GOD’S kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love GOD. Instead of trying to analyse the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting The LORD and thanking HIM at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to The LORD. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through GOD’S transforming grace. While you were still living in darkness, GOD began to shine the Light of HIS Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, GOD lifted you up out of the mire into HIS marvellous Light. Having sacrificed HIS very Life for you, The LORD can be trusted in every facet of your life.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.” JEREMIAH 17 : 7

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. PSALM 40 : 2

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 PETER 2 : 9 (NKJV)

Prayer: Jesus on this Good Friday I reflect on the incredible sacrifice you made for me over 2000 years ago. Because of it, The Holy Spirit lives inside me, I have a relationship with God, and I’m heaven bound. I love you. Your grateful child. Amen.

This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭24‬ NLT

Good morning, that is a standard greeting right? Well it is a good morning no matter what the situation is.

Daily Devotional Video 4/9/2020 – ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, EXODUS 33 : 14

https://youtu.be/ti8f5CPE81g

“YOU ARE GOD’S FOR ALL TIME; nothing can separate you from HIS Love. Since The LORD, JESUS CHRIST has invested HIS very Life in you, be well assured that The LORD will also take care of you. When your mind goes into neutral and your thoughts flow freely, you tend to feel anxious and alone. Your focus becomes problem solving. To get your mind back into gear, just turn toward GOD, bringing yourself and your problems into GOD’S Presence. Many problems vanish instantly in the Light of GOD’S Love, because you realize you are never alone. Other problems may remain, but they become secondary to knowing GOD and rejoicing in the relationship The LORD so freely offers you. Each moment you can choose to practice GOD’S Presence or to practice the presence of problems.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14

Prayer: God thank you that nothing I do or don’t do can separate me from your love. Your love and protection is unconditional and constant, never changing. Though problems will remain on this broken earth, nonetheless, I press into you and allow your presence to fill me with all joy and all peace by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:20‬

“Go home, my people, and lock your doors! Hide yourselves for a little while until the Lord’s anger has passed.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:20‬ ‭

Hello! Is this a wake up call? God knows all and creates all! Is this Pandemic from God? I believe so. God is for family and this is a chance for the restoration of just that. Today’s prayer is that we would all abide too the call and stay home, shut off the cell phones and spend time with the family and restore Gods will…….Be Blessed and Be Safe

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 4/8/2020 – GENESIS 28 : 15, ROMANS 8 : 31, HEBREWS 13 : 8

https://youtu.be/7OgbNZgHhq8

“GOD IS WITH YOU AND FOR YOU, your constant Companion and Provider. The question is whether you are with GOD and for GOD. Though The LORD never leaves you, you can essentially “leave” The LORD by ignoring HIM: thinking or acting as if GOD is not with you. When you feel distance in your relationship, you know where the problem lies. GOD’S Love for you is constant; GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is you who change like shifting sand, letting circumstances toss you this way and that. When you feel far from GOD, whisper HIS Name. This simple act, done in childlike faith, opens your heart to GOD Presence. Speak to The LORD in love-tones; prepare to receive The LORD’S Love, which flows eternally from the cross. GOD is delighted when you open yourself to HIS loving Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? ROMANS 8 : 31

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8

Prayer: Lord I’m so grateful you are the same yesterday today and forever. You are the solid rock on which I stand. This world is ever changing, but you, my God, never change. You are still in control and always will be. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 4/7/2020 – ISAIAH 64 : 8, PSALM 27 : 8

https://youtu.be/2W4sNohKBy0

“GOD IS THE POTTER; you are HIS clay. GOD designed you before the foundation of the world. GOD arranges the events of each day to form you into this preconceived pattern. GOD’S everlasting Love is at work in every event of your life. On some days your will and GOD’S flow smoothly together. You tend to feel in control of your life when your wills are in harmony. On other days you feel as if you are swimming upstream, against the current of GOD’S purposes. When that happens, stop and seek GOD’S Face. The opposition you feel may be from GOD, or it may be from the evil one. Talk with The LORD about what you are experiencing. Let The LORD’S Holy Spirit guide you through treacherous waters. As you move through the turbulent stream with GOD, let circumstances mold you into the one GOD desires you to be. Say yes to your Potter as you go through this day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. ISAIAH 64 : 8

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. PSALM 27 : 8

Prayer: Lord mold me to be more like Jesus – more patient, more kind, more joy and peace filled, more faith filled. Holy Spirit guide me and lead me today. Help me to pause and listen for what you want me to say and do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 4/6/2020 – PSALM 116 : 17 , GENESIS 3 : 2 – 6 , 1 JOHN 1 : 7

https://youtu.be/zX0wiH9sYKw

“BRING GOD THE SACRIFICE of thanksgiving. Take nothing for granted, not even the rising of the sun. Before Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, thankfulness was as natural as breathing. Satan’s temptation involved pointing Eve to the one thing that was forbidden her. The garden was filled with luscious, desirable fruits, but Eve focused on the one fruit she couldn’t have rather than being thankful for the many good things freely available. This negative focus darkened her mind, and she succumbed to temptation. When you focus on what you don’t have or on situations that displease you, your mind also becomes darkened. You take for granted life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, and countless other gifts from GOD. You look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is “fixed.” When you approach GOD with thanksgiving, the Light of GOD’S Presence pours into you, transforming you through and through. Walk in the Light with GOD by practicing the discipline of thanksgiving.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17 (NKJV)

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. GENESIS 3 : 2 – 6

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7

Prayer: Lord what a timely word. Help me not to focus on what I don’t have or can’t do in this season, but on the many blessings all around me of which are far greater in number! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
