GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 116 : 5 – 7, EPHESIANS 5 : 20, ISAIAH 30 : 15

“GROW STRONG in the Light of GOD’S Presence. Your weakness does not repel GOD. On the contrary, it attracts GOD’S Power, which is always available to flow into a yielded heart. Do not condemn yourself for your constant need of help. Instead, come to GOD with your gaping neediness; let the Light of GOD’S Love fill you. A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets rough. It musters the courage to thank GOD even during hard times. Yielding yourself to GOD’S will is ultimately an act of trust. In quietness and trust is your strength.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the simple hearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. PSALM 116 : 5 – 7

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

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15

Prayer: Lord may the light of your love fill me. I yield my heart to your will Father. Be at rest again, oh my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Acts ‭4‬:‭12

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” (‭Acts ‭4‬:‭12‬ NLT)

I hear this statement made so often ” I’m a good person I’m ok” well friends unfortunately being a good person won’t get you to heaven!!!! In this scripture Luke states that there is no other name, or other way but Jesus Christ!!!!! Today I pray that all that are not saved would come to realize that being a good and nice person won’t save you, that only Jesus can save…….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

Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭14

Do everything without complaining and arguing, (‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ NLT)

Have you ever taken a step back and realized you complain about almost everything? Take for example your job, if all you do is complain about it you choose to work there!!! Why not take the attitude of thanks that you have that job and have the mind of Christ as you perform it. Today I pray that we all would be thankful for the blessings we have and not complain about 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

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. 2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. Gods plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve a all loving, caring, and protecting God…….Be Blessed

GOD IS WITH YOU. GOD is with you. GOD is with you. Heaven’s bells continually peal with that promise of The LORD’S Presence. – JEREMIAH 29 : 12 – 13, JOHN 10 : 14, 27 – 28

“GOD IS WITH YOU. GOD is with you. GOD is with you. Heaven’s bells continually peal with that promise of The LORD’S Presence. Some people never hear those bells because their minds are earthbound and their hearts are closed to GOD. Others hear the bells only once or twice in their lifetimes, in rare moments of seeking GOD above all else. GOD’S desire is that HIS “sheep” hear HIS voice continually, for GOD is the ever-present Shepherd. Quietness is the classroom where you learn to hear The LORD’S voice. Beginners need a quiet place in order to still their minds. As you advance in this discipline, you gradually learn to carry the stillness with you wherever you go. When you step back into the mainstream of life, strain to hear those glorious bells: GOD is with you. GOD is with you. GOD is with you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. JEREMIAH 29 : 12 – 13

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. . . . “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.” JOHN 10 : 14, 27 – 28

Prayer: God help me to set my mind on eternity today and hear your voice more often. Help me to prioritize finding a quiet place each day to still my mind and feel your presence with me, filling me with peace and joy that surpasses understanding. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8-9‬

I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8-9‬ NLT

Do you ever feel alone? Are you always the one making difficult decisions ? The psalmist tells us that we are never alone, that God is always beside us. In the world it is beat into our minds that we are weak if we need help, but Jesus said ” I leave you a helper, the great council, THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!! Today I pray that we all would understand that we have the ” The Great I Am” living on the inside and he is there to help us through every situation if we will listen, will you listen? 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

LINGER IN GOD’S PRESENCE AWHILE. – EPHESIANS 2 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 3

“LINGER IN GOD’S PRESENCE AWHILE. Rein in your impulses to plunge into the day’s activities. Beginning your day alone with GOD is essential preparation for success. A great athlete takes time to prepare himself mentally for the feat ahead of him before he moves a muscle. Similarly, your time of being still in GOD’S Presence equips you for the day ahead of you. Only GOD knows what will happen to you this day. GOD has arranged the events you will encounter as you go along your way. If you are not adequately equipped for the journey, you will grow weary and lose heart. Relax with GOD while HE readies you for action.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. HEBREWS 12 : 3

Prayer: Lord help me to linger in your presence today allowing you to equip me for what’s up ahead. Help me to relax with you while you ready me for action and fill me with unexplainable joy and peace and wisdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭

This scripture has always had a place in my heart, do you hunger for righteousness? Do you thirst for righteousness? The world will take your focus off of being righteous, it’s portrayed as being weak by the worlds standard. As Christians we should strive to be more like Jesus every day. Today’s prayer is that we would all strive to be more like Jesus everyday! Jesus won over sinners with his love and forgiveness there’s a start……..Be Blessed and Love someone today to Jesus

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

DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life.

“DO NOT EXPECT to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don’t deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don’t be concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other people’s opinions of you, keep your focus on GOD. Ultimately, it is The LORD’S view of you that counts. As you concentrate on relating to GOD, remember that HE has clothed you in HIS righteousness and holiness. GOD sees you attired in these radiant garments, which JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD bought for you with HIS blood. This also is not fair; it is pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that GOD’S ways with you are much better than fair. GOD’S ways are Peace and Love, which The LORD has poured out into your heart by HIS Holy Spirit.” para=phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. COLOSSIANS 3 : 13

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. EPHESIANS 1 : 7 – 8

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. ROMANS 5 : 5

Prayer: Lord help me not to expect to be treated fairly in this life. But thank you that your ways with me now and for eternity are much better than fair. Jesus you unfairly died on the cross for my sins. What an incredible sacrifice. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Your grateful child. Amen.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:3

“Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you ready? Are you holding up your end of the deal? To be ready is to know without a doubt that you are ready for the return of the savior, to hold up your end of the deal means are you doing all you can to advance the kingdom, are you witnessing? Are you living a life that is pleasing to God? Today’s prayer is that we would all do our best to advance the kingdom and live a life to please God and no one else!!! Human acceptance is today!!! eternal acceptance is eternal….. Be Blessed
