Matthew‬ ‭17:18-20

“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17:18-20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Have you ever had a moment where you have no doubt that you can handle the situation? That you are 100% sure you can get it done? That my friends is having faith in yourself, Do you have that same faith in Jesus? Today’s prayer is that we would know that through the blood of Christ we can overcome anything!!! Any stronghold, depression, or any other thing that takes hold of you. Put all of your trust in Jesus and see that with his guidance you can overcome all things………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

TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY. – 2 THESSALONIANS 1 : 10, PSALM 27 : 4, PSALM 27 : 4, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

https://youtu.be/JNBDRzOJGm8

“TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY. The word holy does not mean goody-goody; it means set apart for sacred use. That is what these quiet moments in GOD’S Presence are accomplishing within you. As you focus your mind and heart on GOD, you are being transformed: re-created into the one The LORD designed you to be. This process requires blocks of time set aside for communion with GOD. The benefits of this practice are limitless. Emotional and physical healing are enhanced by your soaking in the Light of GOD’S Presence. You experience a nearness to GOD that strengthens your faith and fills you with Peace. You open yourself up to receive the many blessings that The LORD has prepared for you. You become a cleansed temple of CHRIST’S Holy Spirit, who is able to do in and through you immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. These are just some of the benefits of being still in GOD’S Presence.”

. . . on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. 2 THESSALONIANS 1 : 1 0

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. PSALM 27 : 4

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us . . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 20

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are not a distant God. You care about every detail of my life. You showed us that by sending Jesus to come down into darkness to be near to us, to save us, to redeem us. And then when Jesus left you gave us The Holy Spirit to live inside us. Thank you Lord for always being near. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 8: 9

“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.” 2 Corinthians 8: 9

God is so good to us, how can we complain? He gave his only son on the cross would you? Today’s prayer is when we complain about trivial things we would look to the cross and realize just how unimportant our little things are……Be Blessed all

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 8‬:‭27-31

So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.” Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. Acts 8‬:‭27-31‬ NLT

How many are reading the word of God but not fully understanding it? Phillip was instructed by the Holy Spirit to walk with the man and help him to understand, do you have a Phillip? The word of God is full of insight and treasure. Today I pray that we would all understand the word of God and when we don’t that the Holy Spirit would send us a Phillip……Be Blessed

Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22

Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. ‭Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ NLT

Do you have trust issues? Do you want to believe but somehow can’t? God’s word is full of promises, not maybe or could happen, it’s full of promises!!!! Today I pray that all that have trust issues dive deep into the word of God and read!!!!! The devil wants you to read it as a maybe, but God’s promise is for sure ……Be Blessed & Trust the Lord

MAKE GOD THE FOCAL POINT of your search for security. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 139 : 10, JAMES 1 : 2

https://youtu.be/KHBUHf_EEkA

“MAKE GOD THE FOCAL POINT of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip GOD’S hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence on GOD. Instead of yearning for a problem-free life, rejoice that trouble can highlight your awareness of The LORD’S Presence. In the darkness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of GOD’S Face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure joy. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven.”

“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

Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139 : 10

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

Prayer: Lord help me to accept the value of problems in this life. I know they have valuable lessons to be learned if I allow them to. I look so forward to Heaven when there will be no more tears or suffering or sorrow. No more trials. But until then, I trust you know best Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:34

“Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To his last breath Jesus was pleading the case for the sinner, hanging on the cross beaten and torn; he was asking the Father to forgive them for what they had done and were doing. Is there someone that you are withholding forgiveness from? If so, think of the words of Jesus from the cross. Today’s prayer is that we would forgive as Jesus did and not condemn those who persecute us but pray to the Father to forgive them…..There is power and freedom in forgiveness……..Be Blessed

BE WILLING to go out on a limb with GOD. – PSALM 23 : 4, PSALM 9 : 10, JOHN 12 : 26

https://youtu.be/45QOO0Ajes4

“BE WILLING to go out on a limb with GOD. If that is where GOD is leading you, it is the safest place to be. Your desire to live a risk-free life is a form of unbelief. Your longing to live close to GOD is at odds with your attempts to minimize risk. You are approaching a crossroads in your journey. In order to follow The LORD wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your tendency to play it safe. Let CHRIST, The LORD lead you step by step through this day. If your primary focus is on The LORD, you can walk along perilous paths without being afraid. Eventually, you will learn to relax and enjoy the adventure of our journey together. As long as you stay close to GOD, HIS sovereign Presence protects you wherever you go.”

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. PSALM 9 : 10

Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. JOHN 12 : 26

Prayer: Lord help me to follow you wholeheartedly, and surrender my ways for your ways. You know what’s best for me, I trust you Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31-32

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31-32‬ NLT

Are you waiting on some type of favor? Advancement? But it seems like it just won’t happen? This scripture tells us that God is always for us, that special something you are wanting may not be what God wants for you! Maybe he has something bigger and better. Today I pray that we would all wait patiently on God’s will for our lives no matter how much we want something…..Be Blessed

YOUR NEEDS AND GOD’S RICHES are a perfect fit. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

“YOUR NEEDS AND GOD’S RICHES are a perfect fit. GOD never meant for you to be self-sufficient. Instead, GOD designed you to need HIM not only for daily bread but also for fulfillment of deep yearnings. GOD carefully crafted your longings and feelings of incompleteness, to point you to HIM. Therefore, do not try to bury or deny these feelings. Beware also of trying to pacify these longings with lesser gods: people, possessions, power. Come to The LORD in all your neediness, with defenses down and with desire to be blessed. As you spend time in The LORD’S Presence, your deepest longings are fulfilled. Rejoice in your neediness, which enables you to find intimate completion in GOD.”

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

Prayer: Lord, I need you for my daily bread and to fulfill my deepest longings. Thank you for my neediness Lord because it points me to you and in you I find completion, peace, and fullness of joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
