THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. – PSALM 23 : 5, JOHN 3 : 16, LUKE 11 : 9 – 10, ROMANS 8 : 32

https://youtu.be/-HUOr7f9Y-A

“THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANCE in your life. Your cup runs over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. GOD wants you to enjoy to the fullest this time of ease and refreshment. GOD delights in providing it for you. Sometimes GOD’S children hesitate to receive HIS good gifts with open hands. Feelings of false guilt creep in, telling them they don’t deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense-thinking, because no one deserves anything from The LORD. GOD’S kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it’s about believing and receiving. When a child of GOD balks at accepting The LORD’S gifts, HE is deeply grieved. When you receive GOD’S abundant blessings with a grateful heart, The LORD rejoices. GOD’S pleasure in giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyous harmony.”

Scripture

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. PSALM 23 : 5 (KJV)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” JOHN 3 : 16

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” LUKE 11 : 9 – 10

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all— how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 32

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus your grace removes my old identity and replaces it with a brand-new identity – a child of God. Thank you for adopting me into your family and lavishing me with blessings and a home for eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭10 : 4 – 5‬

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10 : 4 – 5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As Christians we know what is in line with God’s word, we know the difference between wrong and right in God’s eyes. Are we rewriting his words to fit our needs? The Bible gives us instruction on how to be the example of Christ, although temptation is all around from the worldly standard our spirit knows how to combat that temptation. Today’s prayer is that we would be so strong in God’s word that there would be no chance to twist it in any way ……… Be Blessed and Pray hard

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

DO NOT LET any set of circumstances intimidate you. – EPHESIANS 1 : 18 – 20, PSALM 105 : 4, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25

https://youtu.be/5JfnEw8PtcA

“DO NOT LET any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more of GOD’S Power HE places at your disposal. You seem to think that GOD empowers you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality. GOD knows what each of your days will contain, and HE empowers you accordingly. The degree to which The LORD strengthens you on a given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on GOD for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of The LORD’S Power than usual. Look to GOD for all that you need, and watch to see what The LORD will do. As your day, so shall your strength be.”

Scripture

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. EPHESIANS 1 : 18 – 20

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be. DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God you know what challenges and triumphs are up ahead today. When challenges come, help me to view them as opportunities to receive more of your power and strength than usual. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Micah‬ ‭6‬ : ‭8

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously. ‭Micah‬ ‭6‬ : ‭8‬ MSG

I love the way this translation explains it, basically be nice to all and put God first in everything!!!!! The Bible has laid out instructions for our lives, it is so easy to get tangled up in the things of the world, but when God’s first it becomes clear on how to handle circumstances. Today I pray that it would be this simple to translate for us, treat all equally, love with all you have, don’t be so hard on yourself, and most important PUT GOD FIRST…….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

LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, PSALM 102 : 27, ACTS 17 : 28

https://youtu.be/hAtFCi5as3s

“LEARN TO APPRECIATE difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with GOD, gain confidence from your knowledge that together The LORD and you can handle anything. This knowledge consists of three parts: your relationship with GOD, promises in The Bible, and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times. Look back on your life, and see how GOD has helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, “Yes, but that was then, and this is now, ” remember who GOD IS! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, GOD remains the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In GOD’S Presence you live and move and have your being.”

Scripture

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

“‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ACTS 17 : 28

Prayer

Prayer: Lord on days and seasons of rough terrain, help me to gain confidence in your presence with me, your unshakable promises, and your unfailing love and presence with me. Great is your faithfulness, Lord unto me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13 : 14

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” Hebrews‬ ‭13 : 14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s easy to get frustrated with all that is going on in the world today but this scripture is reassuring us that this life is just temporary. Our next life is eternal and perfect. Today’s prayer is that when things get rough we hold on to the promise we have in Heaven …….. 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

James‬ ‭4 : 1 – 3

“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong — you want only what will give you pleasure.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4 : 1 – 3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What are your motives? Do you find yourself in envy of others? Do you want what others have at any price? This scripture is a direct reflection of why the world is in the condition it is in today! People want what they don’t deserve or have not labored to have so they steal, kill, and destroy to get it at all cost and with no regard for who suffers! Today’s prayer is that we would never have envy or want so bad that it consumes our life and thoughts!! Work hard, love hard, and bless others and you will love a joyful life with what you have been blessed with ……. Be Blessed And 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

‭Genesis‬ ‭12 ‬:‭ 2‬

I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. ‭Genesis‬ ‭12 ‬:‭ 2‬ NKJV

Are you Blessed? Are you blessing others? Abraham was told by God I will bless you and you shall be a Blessing. God was telling him don’t just take your blessings and keep them all to yourself, have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t know how it was going to work out and then all of a sudden the solution shows up? If you’re a blessing to others the blessings will show up in return. Don’t bless others in expectation of returns!!! Just know that God is a God of his word. Today I pray that we would all remember our blessings and be thankful, in return when you see someone in need return the blessing and give thanks that God has given you the means to bless someone ……… 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

SIT QUIETLY WITH GOD, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. – LUKE 12 : 22 – 26, DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

https://youtu.be/5ldvWBteiGA

“SIT QUIETLY WITH GOD, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. There, in the Light of The LORD’S Presence, the bubbles pop and disappear. However, some fears surface over and over again, especially fear of the future. You tend to project yourself mentally into the next day, week, month, year, decade; and you visualize yourself coping badly in those times. What you are seeing is a false image, because it doesn’t include GOD. Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since The LORD’S Presence will be with you at all times. When a future-oriented worry assails you, capture it and disarm it by suffusing the Light of GOD’S Presence into that mental image. Say to yourself, “Jesus will be with me then and there. With The LORD’S help, I can cope!” Then, come home to the present moment, where you can enjoy Peace in The LORD’S Presence.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 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 : 22 – 26

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to make time to sit quietly in your presence everyday, letting all my fears and worries bubble up to the surface where the light of your presence dissipates them. Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭15 : 5

“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,” Romans‬ ‭15 : 5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Day to day life can be tough, situations at home, work, social events, etc. being a Christian is to set the example of Jesus and eventually others will want what you have, “the mind of Jesus” Today’s prayer is that we all would pray for patience, wisdom, kindness, and to be the example in all settings ……… Be Blessed
