YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD – PSALM 34 : 17– 18, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

“YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE VICTORIOUS LIFE through living in deep dependence on GOD. People usually associate victory with success: not falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those who are successful in their own strength tend to go their own way, forgetting about GOD. It is through problems and failure, weakness and neediness that you learn to rely on The LORD. True dependence is not simply asking GOD to bless what you have decided to do. It is coming to The LORD with an open mind and heart, inviting GOD to plant HIS desires within you. GOD may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on GOD. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on The LORD as much as you need. This is not a path of continual success but of multiple failures. However, each failure is followed by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on GOD. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life, through deepening your dependence on GOD.”

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSALM 34 : 17– 18

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to live in deep dependence on you. Plant your desires within me and help me surrender my plans for yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD WANTS YOU TO LEARN A NEW HABIT. – PSALM 63 : 2, ISAIAH 40 : 10 – 11, PSALM 139 : 7 – 10

“GOD WANTS YOU TO LEARN A NEW HABIT. Try saying, “I trust You, Jesus” in response to whatever happens to you. If there is time, think about who GOD is in all HIS Power and Glory; ponder also the depth and breadth of GOD’S Love for you. This simple practice will help you see The LORD in every situation, acknowledging GOD’S sovereign control over the universe. When you view events from this perspective—through the Light of GOD’S universal Presence—fear loses its grip on you. Adverse circumstances become growth opportunities when you affirm your trust in The LORD no matter what. You receive blessings gratefully, realizing they flow directly from GOD’S hand of grace. Your continual assertion of trusting The LORD will strengthen your relationship and keep you close to HIM.”

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. PSALM 63 : 2

See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. ISAIAH 40 : 10 – 11

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. PSALM 139 : 7 – 10

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. You never change. Help me to see you in every situation and trust that nothing is a surprise to you. All good things are a blessing from you and all trials you promise to use for good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:5‬

“Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the LORD understand all.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sin has consequences and those who truly know the Lord understand that, those who do not know the Lord live frivolously and do whatever pleases them. This proverb is crystal clear if you know the Lord! Justice is consequences for what has been done and if you truly know the Lord you know better than to commit the act. Today’s prayer is that we would tell everyone how the grace of the Lord has saved us and shown us how we should live, tell all and pray for those who do not receive……… Be Blessed and Pray up in 2022

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

Psalms 37:4-5

Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:4-5 NKJV

Life gets so busy we make JUST enough time for The Lord. This scripture tells us to delight yourself, the meaning of delight is ” something that brings you extreme pleasure, happiness” we as believers should put Jesus before anything else, he is our Best Friend, The Lord takes pleasure when we consult him in everything…… Today I pray we would all get alone with God and have a personal conversation with 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

REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 31 : 19–20, JOHN 16 : 33

“REFRESH YOURSELF in the Peace of GOD’S Presence. This Peace can be your portion at all times and in all circumstances. Learn to hide in the secret of The LORD’S Presence, even as you carry out your duties in the world. GOD is both with you and within you. The LORD goes before you to open up the way, and GOD also walks alongside you. There could never be another companion as devoted as The LORD. Because GOD is your constant Companion, there should be a lightness to your step that is observable to others. Do not be weighed down with problems and unresolved issues, for The LORD is your burden-bearer. In the world you have trials and distress, but don’t let them get you down. The LORD has conquered the world and deprived it of power to harm you. In Christ you may have confident Peace.”

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. PSALM 31 : 19–20 (NKJV)

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer: Lord thank you for being my most devoted companion who paves the path for me, holds my hand along the way, and is in me and with me at all times. Hide me in the secret place of your presence today Lord and fill me with your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭6‬

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭6‬ NLT

The plans for us from God are to prosper and be filled with love and joy, what have you done with those plans? The beauty of it all is no matter what we have done it’s never to late to change!!!! We serve a God of second and third chances, we serve a loving God, a God that only wants good for us. Today I pray that no matter where you are that you realize it’s never to late, God has his arms wide open and waiting…..I sure am glad that I am living proof of what God’s promise is…….Be Blessed

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭19

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭19‬ NLT

It’s a New year, are you hoping for a better year? Was last year less than what you expected? Well God is always at work, he is always making something out of nothing for those who believe . Today I pray that we all would give thanks for another year and see through last years disappointments to this year’s possibilities…….Have Faith and Be Blessed Happy New Year

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

AS THIS YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE, receive GOD’S Peace. – ISAIAH 9 : 6, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7, JOHN 14 : 26 – 27

“AS THIS YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE, receive GOD’S Peace. This is still your deepest need, and JESUS CHRIST, your Prince of Peace, longs to pour Himself into your neediness. The LORD’S abundance and your emptiness are a perfect match. GOD designed you to have no sufficiency of your own. GOD created you as a jar of clay set apart for sacred use. GOD wants you to be filled with HIS very Being, permeated through and through with Peace. Thank GOD for HIS peaceful Presence, regardless of your feelings. Whisper The LORD’S Name in loving tenderness. GOD’S Peace, which lives continually in your spirit, will gradually work its way through your entire being.”

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9 : 6

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. JOHN 14 : 26 – 27

Prayer: Lord your peace is my deepest need. Help me to spend time with you, sitting with you in your presence, each day while you fill me. Help me to let go of my ways and surrender fully to you this next year. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 NKJV

Do you have a thorn in your side? Or like many a whole rose bush, when trials come upon us it’s then when we go to God in prayer, Paul pleaded with The Lord to remove this from him but instead God was saying where is your faith? Don’t you understand I will deliver you from your problem?. We tend to try to fix all of our problems instead of trusting that God has us in his hand, Today’s prayer is to rejoice when a problem comes your way, because The Lord’s promise is he will handle it!!!! His grace will always be sufficient ………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 IS LEADING YOU along a way that is uniquely right for you. – 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 17, EPHESIANS 2 : 10, 1 JOHN 4 : 7 – 8, JOHN 15 : 4

“GOD IS LEADING YOU along a way that is uniquely right for you. The closer to GOD you grow, the more fully you become your true self—the one GOD designed you to be. Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with GOD diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in The LORD’S mysterious wisdom and ways, HE enables you to follow this solitary path while staying in close contact with others. In fact, the more completely you devote yourself to GOD, the more freely you can love people. Marvel at the beauty of a life intertwined with THE LORD’S Presence. Rejoice as you journey together in intimate communion. Enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in GOD.”

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 17

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 JOHN 4 : 7 – 8

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. JOHN 15 : 4

Prayer: Lord help me to abide in you so I can bear much fruit. The closer to you I grow, the more I become like Christ, the one you designed me to be like. And the better I can love others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
