““Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”” Luke 14:34-35 NKJV
It’s a privilege to be a Christian it’s also our obligation to witness the gospel to all we can. To say you’re a Christian is one thing but are you actively pursuing souls for Christ? Thus salt without flavor is useless. Today’s prayer is we would be more than just professing Christians but be active Christians……….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
“CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH GOD, enjoying His Presence even in adversity. He is always before you, as well as alongside you. See GOD beckoning to you: Come! Follow Me. The One who goes ahead of you, opening up the way, is the same One who stays close and never lets go of your hand. GOD is not subject to limitations of time or space. He is everywhere at every time, ceaselessly working on your behalf. That is why your best efforts are trusting GOD and living close to Him.”
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. HEBREWS 7 : 25
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 3 – 4
Prayer: Jesus you are so powerful yet you know me so intimately and love me unconditionally. Help me to take hold of your hand when life gets tough. Thank you for never leaving my side. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that GOD is sovereign over everything. He can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust Him. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece GOD created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust GOD or defy Him. The best way to befriend your problems is to thank GOD for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to GOD, enabling Him to embrace them in His loving Presence. He will not necessarily remove your problems, but His wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.”
We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28 (AMP)
But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24
Prayer: Lord thank you for bringing good out of every problem, not the least of which is transforming me to look more and more like Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 NIV
Temptation is a daily thing, Temptation is different for all people. For some temptation is food, for some gossip, for some adultery. Where do you turn when temptation arises? Do you turn to God for direction? Today’s prayer is that when we are tempted we would rebuke the temptation in Jesus’s name and the author of temptation (the devil) will flee…….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
“REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with GOD, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of GOD’S Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from GOD’S perspective. Live close to GOD! Together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay.”
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18
Prayer: Lord, the temptation to be anxious or worry often tries to worm its way into my thoughts and my day, but when that happens, help me to quickly recognize the enemy sitting at my table and turn my thoughts to your promises and your presence and your truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:7-11 NKJV
A lot of Christians say God loves me just as I am and this is true, but he does not love our sin and wants us to change. Today’s prayer is that we would let God shape our lives without sin so that we can live a life that is pleasing to him in all areas……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 LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You must learn to discern what is GOD’S voice and what is not. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of GOD’S children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with GOD each moment, listening for HIS directives and enjoying HIS Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. The LORD’S sheep know HIS voice and follow The LORD wherever HE leads.”
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. JOHN 10 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to discern your voice. To know with certainty when you speak to me whether that’s through your word, your still small voice inside my heart, through peace, or through Godly people that it’s your voice, your words. And then help me to obey. In sweet Jesus’ name. Amen.
“If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. Job 11:13-15 NLT
Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! surrender all to God and let his grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own…..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
“CHRIST THE LORD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from The LORD. People search for life in many wrong ways: chasing after fleeting pleasures, accumulating possessions and wealth, trying to deny the inevitable effects of aging. Meanwhile, The LORD freely offers abundant Life to everyone who turns toward HIM. As you come to GOD and take HIS yoke upon you, The LORD fills you with HIS very Life. This is how GOD chooses to live in the world and accomplish HIS purposes. This is also how GOD blesses you with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. The Joy is GOD’S, and the Glory is GOD’S; but HE bestows them on you as you live in HIS Presence, inviting The LORD to live fully in you.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” JOHN 11 : 25
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29
Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Jesus thank you for making a way for me to have eternal life with you. And not only when I die, but you offer me abundant life here and now, to the extent to which I surrender and follow you. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. Thank you sweet Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.” Isaiah 55:6-7 NLT
With all that is going on in the world today this should be all of our prayers!!! Pray that Russia would heed this and prayer for the safety of Ukraine, Today I pray that not only would we pray for those countries but also pray for the United States Of America !!!! God knows we need it and he is waiting to answer…….. Be Blessed
