“He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.” Proverbs 13:3 NKJV
Gossip is so easy to do yet is destruction in your life. Do you get caught up unintentionally? Don’t!!!! Speak truth and life into all situations. Today’s prayer is we would shed all gossip from our lives…..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
“COME TO GOD, and rest in GOD’S Peace. GOD’S Face is shining upon you, in rays of Peace transcending understanding. Instead of trying to figure things out yourself, you can relax in the Presence of the One who knows everything. As you lean on The LORD in trusting dependence, you feel peaceful and complete. This is how The LORD designed you to live: in close communion with HIM. When you are around other people, you tend to cater to their expectations—real or imagined. You feel enslaved to pleasing them, and your awareness of GOD’S Presence grows dim. Your efforts to win their approval eventually exhaust you. You offer these people dry crumbs rather than the living water of GOD’S Holy Spirit flowing through you. This is not GOD’S way for you! Stay in touch with The LORD, even during your busiest moments. Let GOD’S Spirit give you words of grace as you live in the Light of GOD’S Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7
“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” JOHN 7 : 38
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 18 – 20
Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me to come and rest in your peace. That everything is under your control and care. You have me in the palm of your hand. Help me to commune with you more today than I did yesterday for my benefit. In Jesus precious name. Amen.
“each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.” 1 Corinthians 3:13 NKJV
Do you work unto the Lord or into man? To work unto man is to please him no matter what the compromise!!! To work unto the Lord is to have the most uncompromising value there is!!!
Today’s prayer is that we would have the upmost moral value in all we do and as Christians we should have that moral in all we do!!!! Shine the light of the Lord, Always be humble and do what is right…… fire refines as it destroys……. 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
“THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of Life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Not many Christians know how to live in this radical freedom, which is their birthright. Jesus Christ died to set you free; live freely in The LORD! To walk along the path of freedom, you must keep your mind firmly fixed on The LORD. Many voices proclaim: “This is the way for you to go,” but only The LORD’S voice tells you the true way. If you follow the way of the world with all its glitter and glamour, you will descend deeper and deeper into an abyss. Christian voices also can lead you astray: “Do this!” “Don’t do that!” “Pray this way!” “Don’t pray that way!” If you listen to all those voices, you will become increasingly confused. Be content to be a simple sheep, listening for The LORD’S voice and following Christ. The LORD will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 21
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3
Prayer: Lord thank you that through Jesus the law of the Spirit of Life has set me free from the law of sin and death. What a precious gift. One I don’t deserve. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Help me listen for your voice and yours alone to follow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 2 Timothy 1:8-9 NKJV
Oh to be like Paul was, this should be our prayers. The revelation that was given to Paul was incredible and the fact that he wrote it for us to have is even better. Paul was saying never,ever,ever be ashamed of the words of Jesus stand strong and take the ridicule. Paul understood that we were saved not by our works but by Grace. God is not interested in our religious acts, he I interested in our hearts, knowing that under all circumstances that we glorify him and his son. Self check, are you glorifying him in all situations? My prayer for all is to see through any situation and give God all the glory, for we are saved
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 YOU LOOK at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the One who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall The LORD’S promise to guide you with HIS counsel, and you begin to relax. As you look again at the path ahead, you notice that a peaceful fog has settled over it, obscuring your view. You can see only a few steps in front of you, so you turn your attention more fully to GOD and begin to enjoy GOD’S Presence. The fog is a protection for you, calling you back into the present moment. Although GOD inhabits all of space and time, you can communicate with HIM only here and now. Someday the fog will no longer be necessary, for you will have learned to keep your focus on GOD and on the path just ahead of you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. PSALM 73 : 23 – 24
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12
Prayer: Lord help me to keep my focus on you this week. You promise to give me just enough daily bread for each day. You know exactly what is up ahead and you have a good plan. Even though I can’t see the future you can. Help me to trust your timing and your plan. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 NKJV
Are you always choosing what best fills your desire? Do you choose you first or God first? Today’s prayer is that we would start each day with this prayer, Lord have your way in my day, strengthen me with your Holy Spirit and let my day be less of me and more of you! In Jesus Name……..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 also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. (Hebrews 6:17-18 NLT)
There are things we do that make us feel that we are unworthy to serve God. When we became Christians, that was sealed by the blood of Jesus on the Cross. God is not a changing God, he doesn’t disregard you when you miss the mark, I’m sure he is disappointed but still has everlasting love for you good and bad. Today’s prayer is that when we miss the mark we would go to God in repentance and ask by his Holy Spirit to instruct and fix that problem so that we can do bigger things for the kingdom…….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
“And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31 NKJV
I believe the way you treat others is the way you treat yourself, So how are you treating yourself? Do you get enough rest? Do you give yourself a day of rest? Do you give yourself a day of pampering? If you are too treat others the way you treat yourself how are you doing? Today’s prayer is that we would live life too the fullest and enjoy our blessings! Do not be trapped in the rat race but break the chains that bind you. Love yourself then you can love others………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 CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you. This is a deep, unfathomable mystery. You and GOD are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being. The Light of GOD’S Presence shines within you, as well as upon you. The LORD is in you, and you are in The LORD; therefore, nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from GOD! As you sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, your awareness of HIS Life within you is heightened. This produces the Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. The LORD, the God of hope, fills you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in GOD, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27
“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles.” ISAIAH 42 : 6
“Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” NEHEMIAH 8 : 10
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13 ESV
Prayer: God you are amazing. You go before me and behind me and beside me and you live in me. Nothing can separate me from your great love. As I spend time with you, fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you and overflow with hope by the power of The Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
