Daily Devotional Video 5/8/2020 – JOHN 16 : 33, ISAIAH 41 : 13, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

https://youtu.be/UFRHKjRlpxY

“DO NOT LONG for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal, since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth. Begin each day anticipating problems, asking GOD to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipping is GOD’S living Presence, GOD’S hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with The LORD. Take a light hearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and GOD together can handle. Remember that The LORD is on your side, and HE has overcome the world.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

Prayer: God thank you for your perfect plan. You have placed in me a deep desire for a problem free life because that’s the way Heaven is – my true home. But in the meantime help me to see every problem as an opportunity to learn to surrender to you, to depend on you more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 5/7/2020 – GENESIS 50 : 20, PSALM 23 : 4

https://youtu.be/6lyuul5xkEA

“IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST GOD—really trust GOD—with your whole being, then nothing can separate you from GOD’S Peace. Everything you endure can be put to good use by allowing it to train you in trusting The LORD. This is how you foil the works of evil, growing in grace through the very adversity that was meant to harm you. Joseph was a prime example of this divine reversal, declaring to his brothers: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” Do not fear what this day, or any day, may bring your way. Concentrate on trusting GOD and on doing what needs to be done. Relax in GOD’S sovereignty, remembering that The LORD goes before you, as well as with you, into each day. Fear no evil, for GOD can bring good out of every situation you will ever encounter.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. GENESIS 50 : 20 (NKJV)

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

Prayer: God help me to see every circumstance as a way to continue to train me to trust you. A daily exercise growing my trust muscle. Help me to relax in your sovereignty, remembering that you go before me and are with me each moment. You promise to use everything for the good of those who love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭10-11‬

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. All power to him forever! Amen. (‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭10-11‬ NLT)

Grace is such a undeserved gift, everyday it amazes me that someone could love me that much. In a world full of selfishness we have a Father in Heaven that gives us all we need……Today I pray that we would all understand the love that Jesus has for us, he will restore us,support us, and strengthen us in all we do…..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 5/6/2020 – ISAIAH 26 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

https://youtu.be/UNxtWMQPoIY

“DO NOT SEARCH FOR SECURITY in the world you inhabit. You tend to make mental check-lists of things you need to do in order to gain control of your life. If only you could check everything off your list, you could relax and be at peace. But the more you work to accomplish that goal, the more things crop up on your list. The harder you try, the more frustrated you become. There is a better way to find security in this life. Instead of scrutinizing your check-list, focus your attention on GOD’S Presence with you. This continual contact with The LORD will keep you in HIS Peace. Moreover, GOD will help you sort out what is important and what is not, what needs to be done now and what does not. Fix your eyes not on what is seen (your circumstances), but on what is unseen (GOD’S Presence).” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 18

Prayer: God help me to focus my attention on your presence with me. Attune my heart to discern what is important and what can wait to do. Help me to fix my eyes on eternal things today – You, Your Word, and People. The only 3 things that are eternal. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. (‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ NLT)

Does it ever feel like you try to do good and others do you wrong? You try to get ahead but always seem to get behind? You hold the door for someone and they don’t say thank you? Well we all at some point have experienced this, but take heart the harvest is coming. This scripture talks about just the right time, it’s easy to get frustrated but Gods word is never void. Today I pray that no matter what the situation we would be Christ minded and treat all right no matter what our flesh says……..Be Blessed & be a Blessing

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

https://youtu.be/ACYmhXog77I

“COME TO GOD for all that you need. Come into GOD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to The LORD’s treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that GOD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to GOD with confident expectation. There is nothing you need that The LORD cannot provide.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5

Prayer: Lord I come to you with confident expectation that you will meet all my needs according to your glorious riches. There is nothing I need that you cannot provide. Help me to come to you with a thankful heart, affirming that you are always good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

https://youtu.be/gcxkYOw9mP8

“MEET GOD IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of GOD’S Presence. Worship GOD in the beauty of holiness. Sing love songs to The LORD’S holy Name. As you give yourself to GOD, HIS Holy Spirit swells within you till you are flooded with divine Presence. The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain GOD’S riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to GOD and HIS ways, the more GOD fills you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV)

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. 1 PETER 1 : 8

Prayer: Lord as I spend time with you this week, fill me with your inexpressible and glorious joy. Help me to attain my riches by letting go and giving. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭23:26

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” – Proverbs‬ ‭23:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you gave your heart to Jesus life truly began. The day you gave your life to the Lord you were so full of joy, so full of doing what was right in the Lords eyes, are you still that committed or have you changed? The Lord says he delights in following his ways and so should we. Today’s prayer is that we would all do a once over and check our condition are we more on fire or has our flames dwindled to smoke…… Be Blessed and light that fire back up

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 Peter‬ ‭4:7-10‬

“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter‬ ‭4:7-10‬ ‭NIV‬‬
‭‭
My friends this scripture sends not only a warning but also instruction. To be of a sober mind is to have the mind of Christ, and what kind of mind would that be? A mind that only serves the will of God. As for the end is near warning I fully believe this is truth today as we look at all the situations in the world. Today’s prayer is that we would have the mind of Christ and walk a walk filled with love for all……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
