“Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” John 3 : 11 NKJV
It is hard for some to understand your testimony, especially those who do not know the Lord. We all have our individual God story and that is for a reason, we all are called differently. Today’s prayer is that we would stay strong to our testimony to witness people to Jesus and he will do the rest ……. 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
“STAY EVER SO CLOSE TO GOD, and you will not deviate from the path GOD has prepared for you. This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way. Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion. This practice enables them to give GOD money, time, and work without yielding up to The LORD what HE desires the most — their hearts. Rules can be observed mechanically. Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought. These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition. What GOD searches for in HIS children is an awakened soul that thrills to the Joy of HIS Presence! GOD created mankind to glorify HIM and enjoy HIM forever. GOD provides the Joy; your part is to glorify GOD by living close to HIM.”
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. DEUTERONOMY 6 : 5
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11
Prayer: Lord, help me to have an awakened soul that gets thrilled about being in your presence. This advent season please help me to cultivate a hope as I anticipate Christ’s coming – both in celebration of his birth and in the promise of his return. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” Luke 19 : 10 NIV
Jesus came to save the world, not condemn it! Jesus went to the lost to show them the way to eternal life, some followed and some didn’t. Today it has remained the same, some follow and some have too much pride to understand they need a savior. Today’s prayer is that we would as believers pray for the lost not condemn 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
“Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62 : 8 NIV
Trust is such a difficult thing, To put your trust in someone or something 100% can let you down. To fully trust in the Lord will never let you down! Today I pray that we would always trust the Lord in every situation, even if we can’t see results still trust in his everlasting promise …… 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
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3 : 1 NLT
We all have a calling in life! And at some point it is time for a change! What in your life needs to be changed? Today’s prayer is that when our season is over we would know it’s time for a change, let God direct our direction in life and live it to the fullest! We are not promised tomorrow …… 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
“LET GOD’S PRESENCE override everything you experience. Like a luminous veil of Light, GOD hovers over you and everything around you. The LORD is training you to stay conscious of HIM in each situation you encounter. When the patriarch Jacob ran away from his enraged brother, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed desolate. But after dreaming about heaven and angels and promises of GOD’S Presence, he awoke and exclaimed: “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” His discovery was not only for him but for all who seek The LORD. Whenever you feel distant from GOD, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!” Then, ask The LORD to give you awareness of HIS Presence. This is a prayer that GOD delights to answer.”
Scripture
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues. PSALM 31 : 20
When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the LORD, and he said: “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 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.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” GENESIS 28 : 11 – 16
Prayer
Prayer: God thank you for being in this place, no matter where I am, you are there. Thank you for never leaving me, guiding me, and watching over me. “Surely the Lord is in this place!” In Jesus’ name. Amen.
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12 : 1 – 2 NKJV
Paul says I bring to you, by the mercies of God. Too many Christians are going to GOD trying to make him perform by their works, we should be thanking him for his mercy ! Today I pray that we all would renew our minds daily, and embrace God’s mercy for us ….. 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’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways HIS ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’S ways and thoughts higher than yours. Remember who GOD is when you spend time with HIM. Marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with the King of the universe — any time, any place. Never take this amazing privilege for granted! Though GOD is vastly higher and greater than you, The LORD is training you to think HIS thoughts. As you spend time in The LORD’S Presence, HIS thoughts gradually form in your mind. GOD’S Holy Spirit is the Director of this process. Sometimes HE brings Bible verses to mind. Sometimes He enables you to hear GOD “speak” directly to you. These communications strengthen you and prepare you for whatever is before you on your life-path. Take time to listen to GOD’S voice. Through your sacrifice of precious time, The LORD will bless you far more than you dare to ask.”
Scripture
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2
I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to spend time sitting in your presence each day. Allowing your thoughts to gradually form in my mind. Help me to prepare my heart to celebrate the birth of Jesus and anticipate the glorious day Jesus comes back again to take us home. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,” Psalm 119 : 2 ESV
Are you doing all you can to keep God’s word in your heart? Do you witness HIS grace and mercy to all you can? Are you seeking God in all you do with all your heart? This is God’s will for our life. Today’s prayer is that we would be the disciples that Jesus commissioned us to be testifying to all we can and seeking God’s direction with our whole heart …… 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
“DO NOT BE SURPRISED by the fiery attacks on your mind. When you struggle to find GOD and to live in GOD’S Peace, don’t let discouragement set in. You are engaged in massive warfare, spiritually speaking. The evil one abhors your closeness to GOD, and his demonic underlings are determined to destroy your intimacy. When you find yourself in the thick of battle, call upon The LORD’S Name: “Jesus, help me!” At that instant, the battle becomes The LORD’S; your role is simply to trust The LORD as HE fights for you. GOD’S Name, properly used, has unlimited Power to bless and protect. At the end of time, every knee will bow (in heaven, on earth, and under the earth), when The LORD’S Name is proclaimed. People who have used “Jesus” as a shoddy swear word will fall down in terror on that awesome day. But all those who have drawn near The LORD through trustingly uttering HIS Name will be filled with inexpressible and glorious Joy. This is your great hope, as you await GOD’S return.”
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. EPHESIANS 6 : 12
“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” 1 SAMUEL 17 : 47
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 10
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Lord, today I put on the armor you’ve provided. The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, shoes fitted with the gospel of peace, my shield of faith to block the flaming arrows of the enemy, and my sword which is the word of God. Now I’m ready Lord. Let’s go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
