COME TO GOD FOR REST and refreshment. – ROMANS 8 : 28, PSALM 42 : 11

https://youtu.be/zUGNeWoXcX0

“COME TO GOD FOR REST and refreshment. The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for GOD to take charge of your life. Remember that GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different. Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where The LORD intends you to be. You will get through today one step, one moment at a time. Your main responsibility is to remain attentive to The LORD, letting HIM guide you through the many choices along your pathway. This sounds like an easy assignment, but it is not. Your desire to live in The LORD’S Presence goes against the grain of “the world, the flesh, and the devil.” Much of your weariness results from your constant battle against these opponents. However, you are on the path of GOD’S choosing, so do not give up! Hope in The LORD, for you will again praise GOD for the help of HIS Presence.”

Scripture

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

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. PSALM 42 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to come to you for rest and refreshment. Guide me through the many choice points today. Help me to be more aware of your presence and to depend on you more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John‬ ‭2:5-6

“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:5-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture breaks it down in such simple terms it’s amazing. If someone asked you if you love God what would your response be? Of course it would be YES so if you love God don’t you want to try to please him at all times? To live like Jesus is to live a life that is pleasing to God, to have the heart of a servant. Today’s prayer is that we would wake up daily and start our day out by praying “Heavenly Father let me not serve myself today, but serve only you” let your will be done throughout my day and make this day not mine but yours” I believe this confession will help us all live more like Jesus……..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

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find not only GOD’S Presence but also HIS Peace. – ROMANS 8 : 6, PSALM 46 : 1 – 2

https://youtu.be/19ps1TaijLE

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find not only GOD’S Presence but also HIS Peace. To receive The LORD’S Peace, you must change your grasping, controlling stance to one of openness and trust. The only thing you can grasp without damaging your soul is GOD’S hand. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit within you to order your day and control your thoughts, for the mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace. You can have as much of GOD and HIS Peace as you want, through thousands of correct choices each day. The most persistent choice you face is whether to trust GOD or to worry. You will never run out of things to worry about, but you can choose to trust The LORD no matter what. GOD is an ever-present help in trouble. Trust The LORD, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”

Scripture

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. PSALM 46 : 1 – 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to change my grasping, controlling stance to one of openness and trust. Holy Spirit, order my day and control my thoughts, fill me with Life and Peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is the state you will have if you trust in the world, the world will bring temporary happiness and eternal sorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would have 100% trust in God and God alone……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

1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:11

“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you encouraging or are you breaking people down? Encouragement is one of the most important traits a person can have in my opinion, the world will break us down but being positive and encouraging others will bring hope. Today’s prayer is that in the midst of everything that is going on we would stand in God’s word and always do our best to shed that light of encouragement……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

Acts‬ ‭23:11‬

“The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”” Acts‬ ‭23:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you sometimes feel like your assignment is fulfilled? Nope!!!! I believe our assignment is life long. Paul knew that going to Rome would be his final assignment of the Lord but was obedient to the end. Opposition awaits us as believers but the gospel is life changing in places that we would least expect. Today’s prayer is that we against our fears would be obedient to our assignments and pray up before heading into them……..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 RENEWING YOUR MIND. – ROMANS 12 : 2, PSALM 105 : 4

    https://youtu.be/qiW88K9kzOA

    “GOD IS RENEWING YOUR MIND. When your thoughts flow freely, they tend to move toward problems. Your focus gets snagged on a given problem, circling round and round it in attempts to gain mastery. Your energy is drained away from other matters through this negative focus. Worst of all, you lose sight of GOD. A renewed mind is Presence-focused. Train your mind to seek The LORD in every moment, every situation. Sometimes you can find GOD in your surroundings: a lilting birdsong, a loved one’s smile, golden sunlight. At other times, you must draw inward to find The LORD. GOD is always present in your spirit. Seek GOD’S Face, speak to HIM, and GOD will light up your mind.”

    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

    Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

    Prayer

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to focus more on your presence than on my problems. Renew my mind and teach me how to be more Presence-focused today. You are the great I AM and you have never lost a battle. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    3 John‬ ‭1:4

    “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” ‭‭3 John‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    To make God smile is to walk in his ways! I believe when we try our best to do good whether or not we succeed it makes God smile (and yes we fail every day). Thank God for the grace given to us. Today’s prayer is that we all would do our best to please God by our daily actions and show his love to everyone …….. Be Blessed

    FOLLOW GOD ONE STEP AT A TIME. – PSALM 18 : 29, PSALM 91 : 11 – 12, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

    https://youtu.be/RcdglMD_r7o

    “FOLLOW GOD ONE STEP AT A TIME. That is all GOD requires of you. In fact, that is the only way to move through this space/time world. You see huge mountains looming, and you start wondering how you’re going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you’re not looking where you’re going, you stumble on the easy path where GOD is leading you now. As GOD helps you get back on your feet, you tell HIM how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But you don’t know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Your path may take an abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains than is visible from this distance. If The LORD does lead you up the cliffs, HE will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. GOD will even give HIS angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. “

    Scripture

    Keep your mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting Me to open up the way before you. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. PSALM 18 : 29

    For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. PSALM 91 : 11 – 12

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

    Prayer

    Prayer: Lord, help me to follow you one step, one day, at a time. If I look too far ahead it’s daunting, but when I follow you one step at a time, holding your hand, I can do all you have called me to do because you equip me with exactly what I need for each day. Give me THIS day my daily bread. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17

    “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 ‭NKJV‬‬

    Does your past haunt you? Can you just not let go of things that you have done? Well there is good news. This scripture explains that when you received Christ as your personal Lord and savior you became a new creation, that all old has passed away. Today’s prayer is that you would hand your past over to Jesus and live your new life as the new creation you became by the ultimate sacrifice at the cross…..Be Blessed
