Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭AMP

“For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgement and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;” Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I love this translation, it explains Grace to a Tee. I believe sometimes as Christians we forget that God’s grace is such a beautiful gift, sometimes we act like it’s our actions that create our peace. The fact of the matter is if not for grace we would be living a life of destruction! But by our faith in Jesus we now have become Sons and Daughters of God. Today’s prayer is that we would never stop thanking God for his Grace and live a life that is pleasing to him……..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

Daily Devotional Video 6/9/2020 – 1 PETER 4 : 8, 1 JOHN 4 : 18, REVELATION 2 : 4

https://youtu.be/L-gxZDUD_W0

“SEEK TO LIVE IN GOD’S LOVE, which covers a multitude of sins: both yours and others’. Wear GOD’S Love like a cloak of Light, covering you from head to toe. Have no fear, for perfect Love decimates fear. Look at other people through lenses of Love; see them from GOD’S perspective. This is how you walk in the Light, and it pleases GOD. The LORD wants HIS Body of believers to be radiant with the Light of HIS Presence. How The LORD grieves when pockets of darkness increasingly dim the Love-Light. Return to GOD, your First Love! Gaze at The LORD in the splendor of holiness, and GOD’S Love will once again envelop you in Light.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 PETER 4 : 8

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

Prayer: Lord help me to see all people as you see them, from your perspective and love them as you love them. Help me to wear your love like a cloak of light today, all for your glory. I love because you first loved me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 6/8/2020 – MATTHEW 28 : 18, PSALM 100 : 4

https://youtu.be/F7Z7tqoCCVY

“GOD WANTS YOU TO BE ALL HIS, filled with the Light of HIS Presence. The LORD, JESUS CHRIST gave everything for you by living as a man, then dying for your sins and living again. Hold back nothing from The LORD. Bring your most secret thoughts into the Light of GOD’S Love. Anything you bring to The LORD HE transforms and cleanses from darkness. GOD knows everything about you, far more than you know of yourself. But GOD restrains HIS yearning to “fix” you, waiting instead for you to come to GOD for help. Imagine the divine restraint this requires, for The LORD has all Power in heaven and on earth. Seek GOD’S Face with a teachable spirit. Come into GOD’S Presence with thanksgiving, desiring to be transformed.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” MATTHEW 28 : 18

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. PSALM 100 : 4

Prayer: Lord thank you for giving your life for mine. Help me to surrender all to you. Every thought, word, and action. You know them anyways and are waiting for me to give them to you. Help me to come to you with a teachable Spirit, desiring to be transformed and renewed from the inside out. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. (‭Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ NLT)

Your outlook on life can sometimes be controlled by the circumstances, the chaos around you steals your peace, but Gods promise and standing on his word brings all the issues into perspective. Today I pray peace and hope to all, trust in Gods promise and let the spirit direct your path……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 ‭4‬:‭4‬

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! (‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ NLT)

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in the Lord our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord…..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

John‬ ‭1:8-12‬

“He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—” John‬ ‭1:8-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

John knew he was not the light or the savior, he knew his assignment , to tell all of the one who was coming. Jesus trusts that we as disciples will do the exact same thing, “Tell the world”
Today’s prayer is that we would all have the boldness and words to witness to all the non believers…….Be Blessed & witness away🙏🏻

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 6/5/2020 – EXODUS 20 : 3, PSALM 37 : 4

https://youtu.be/6lbvNzNtAhQ

“REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE IN a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except GOD. That is why closeness to GOD satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with Joy. GOD has planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which The LORD alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus they create idols, before which they bow down. GOD will have no other gods before HIM. Make GOD the deepest desire of your heart. Let GOD fulfill your yearning for perfection. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“You shall have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20 : 3

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4

Prayer: God only you can fill the deep yearning in my soul. When I have trouble in this life, help me to remember I live between two gardens, Eden and Heaven. One day, I will be in my perfect body with you for eternity. Thank you Jesus for making it possible. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭20:7

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” ‭Psalm‬ ‭20:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Where is your trust ? What makes you feel trustworthy?. Material things have a way of giving you false trust, trusting in God gives you eternal security. Today’s prayer is that we would put our trust in God for all things, turn to God in all circumstances, and trust that God will be there for you always……. Be Blessed

https://youtu.be/_Zet7b-zjaE

“GOD WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. When your focus is firmly on GOD, HIS Peace displaces fears and worries. Fears and worries will encircle you, seeking entrance, so you must stay alert. Let trust and thankfulness stand guard, turning back fear before it can gain a foothold. There is no fear in GOD’S Love, which shines on you continually. Sit quietly in GOD’S Love-Light, while The LORD blesses you with radiant Peace. Turn your whole being to trusting and loving GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18

Prayer: Lord I pray for justice and peace to abound in every city in our nation. And may it begin with me. Search me Lord. Show me any offense in me. Cleanse me. Place a new heart in me today, one that looks more like you Jesus and less like me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
