Daily Devotional Video 3/17/2020 – PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22 , JOSHUA 1 : 5

https://youtu.be/trqFuxwKD44

“COME TO THE LORD FOR UNDERSTANDING, since The LORD knows you far better than you know yourself. GOD comprehends you in all your complexity; no detail of your life is hidden from HIM. GOD views you through eyes of grace, so don’t be afraid of GOD’S intimate awareness. Allow the Light of GOD’S healing Presence to shine into the deepest recesses of your being—cleansing, healing, refreshing, and renewing you. Trust GOD enough to accept the full forgiveness that HE offers you continually. This great gift, which cost The LORD, JESUS CHRIST HIS Life, is yours for all eternity. Forgiveness is at the very core of The LORD’S abiding Presence. GOD will never leave you or forsake you. When no one else seems to understand you, simply draw closer to GOD. Rejoice in the One who understands you completely and loves you perfectly. As The LORD fills you with HIS Love, you become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of other people.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 21 – 22

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

Prayer: God as I spend quiet time with you today, shine your light in me – cleanse me, heal me, refresh me, and renew me Lord. Fill me with your love so that I can become a reservoir of love, overflowing into the lives of others today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭23:4-6‬

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:4-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is all we need to live by!!! It’s right on point, when you’re scared God is there! When we mess up Gods Holy Spirit lets us know, he delivers us from all adversity, and he blesses us daily even though we fall short!!!! And he knows us more than all the grains of sand in the earth!!! Today’s prayer is that we would realize how much God loves us and his love is UNCONDITIONAL!!!! Not just when we are good in our eyes he knows our heart……Be Blessed and always 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

Daily Devotional Video 3/16/2020 – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

https://youtu.be/jXRMyAcGCuU

“IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. That keeps you looking to GOD, your Strength. Abundant life is not necessarily health and wealth; it is living in continual dependence on GOD. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what The LORD is doing. This mind-set will free you to enjoy GOD and to find what The LORD has planned for you to do. This is far better than trying to make things go according to your own plan. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with GOD. You have GOD on your side, so what are you worried about? GOD can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is HIS will. The more difficult your day, the more The LORD yearns to help you. Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts. When you look to GOD and whisper HIS Name, you break free and receive GOD’S help. Focus on The LORD, and you will find Peace in HIS Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13 (AMP)

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22

Prayer: Lord help me to focus on you, your word, and your promises. You promise to never leave me or forsake me. You promise to use everything for my good. Nothing that is happening is a surprise to you. You are still in control. I trust you wholeheartedly. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6‬

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭62:5-6‬ ‭

Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is were it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..Be Blessed

Daily Devotional Video 3/13/2020 JOHN 16 : 33

https://youtu.be/bcWvPBjxqQ8

“LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with The LORD, the One who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only GOD’S Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer. As you sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, GOD shines Peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain The LORD’S perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in GOD’S Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33 (NKJV)

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. JOHN 16 : 22

Prayer: Lord help me to spend quiet time with you each day so you can infuse your peace and joy despite any circumstance life may bring. Help me to see things from your perspective and distinguish what is important and what is not today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotional Video 3/12/2020 – ROMANS 8:28

https://youtu.be/AI8laRQ9tac

“WAITING, TRUSTING, AND HOPING are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand, because it is the response from GOD’S children that HE desires the most. Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand of trust and strengthen the chain that connects you to GOD. Waiting for GOD to work, with your eyes on HIM, is evidence that you really do trust GOD. If you mouth the words “I trust You” while anxiously trying to make things go your way, your words ring hollow. Hoping is future-directed, connecting you to your inheritance in heaven. However, the benefits of hope fall fully on you in the present. Because you are GOD’S, you don’t just pass time in your waiting. You can wait expectantly, in hopeful trust. Keep your “antennae” out to pick up even the faintest glimmer of GOD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8:28

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” JOHN 14 : 1

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. PSALM 27 : 14

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20

Prayer: God help me to wait, to trust, and to hope in you. I wait expectantly for you to work everything out for my good as you promised in Romans 8:28. I can’t wait to see what you are going to do next. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Have you ever noticed how most things finish better than they start if we have patience? Do you ever get the I want it now attitude? Well I know I have fallen into this trap and made a mess of many things. This scripture paints a clear picture that good things come to those who wait. The best we have to look forward too is the Lords return. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for patience and in the process be humble…….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

“WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. As you take steps of faith, depending on GOD, GOD will show you how much HE can do for you. If you live your life too safely, you will never know the thrill of seeing The LORD work through you. When GOD gave you HIS Holy Spirit, GOD empowered you to live beyond your natural ability and strength. That’s why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but GOD’S, which is limitless. By walking close to GOD, you can accomplish The LORD’S purposes in HIS strength.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

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

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. GALATIANS 5 : 25

Prayer: God help me to walk close to you today so I can accomplish your purposes with your limitless strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“YOU ARE GOD’S FOR ALL TIME—and beyond time, into eternity. No power can deny you your inheritance in heaven. GOD wants you to realize how utterly secure you are! Even if you falter as you journey through life, GOD will never let go of your hand. Knowing that your future is absolutely assured can free you to live abundantly today. The LORD has prepared this day for you with the most tender concern and attention to detail. Instead of approaching the day as a blank page that you need to fill up, try living it in a responsive mode: being on the lookout for all that GOD is doing. This sounds easy, but it requires a deep level of trust, based on the knowledge that GOD’S way is perfect.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. PSALM 37 : 23 – 24

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. PSALM 18 : 30

Prayer: God thank you for the assurance that I am heaven bound and nothing can separate me from Heaven and from your love. I know I will have peaks and valleys here on earth, but I set my eyes on you Jesus regardless, my anchor in the storm. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
