1 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:4‬

“Even while we were with you, we warned you that troubles would soon come—and they did, as you well know.” 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It was written thousands of years ago that troubles would someday come and they have!!! The Bible is a book of prophecy and shadows and I believe this scripture was meant to tell us of the end of days! Do not be alarmed, do not be afraid because Jesus spoke of the end day all through his ministry and I believe they are here. Today’s prayer is that we would embrace the end days as much as we hate the way the world is!!!!! Remember this is not our home. Heaven is and the purpose of our time on earth is to tell all we can of the gospel of Jesus Christ!!!! Are you doing your part?……..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 ABOVE ALL THINGS: your problems, your pain, and the swirling events in this ever-changing world. – EPHESIANS 2 : 6, MATTHEW 14 : 28 – 32

“GOD IS ABOVE ALL THINGS: your problems, your pain, and the swirling events in this ever-changing world. When you behold GOD’S Face, you rise above circumstances and rest with The LORD in heavenly realms. This is the way of Peace, living in the Light of GOD’S Presence. The LORD guarantees that you will always have problems in this life, but they must not become your focus. When you feel yourself sinking in the sea of circumstances, say “Help me, Jesus!” and The LORD will draw you back to HIM. If you have to say that thousands of times daily, don’t be discouraged. GOD knows your weakness, and GOD meets you in that very place.”

Scripture

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. EPHESIANS 2 : 6

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. MATTHEW 14 : 28 – 32

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when I’m in your presence you help me rise above my circumstances and rest with you in Heavenly realms. What a peaceful place to be – in your arms. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭3

Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ NLT

How do people view you? Are you kind and caring? Do you lend a helping hand when it’s needed? Today I pray we would all put this proverb to work and be kind and helpful to all we can…..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. – MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29, 1 TIMOTHY 2 : 8

“COME TO GOD AND REST. GOD is all about you, to bless and restore. Breathe The LORD in with each breath. The way just ahead of you is very steep. Slow down and cling tightly to The LORD’S hand. GOD is teaching you a difficult lesson, learned only by hardship. Lift up empty hands of faith to receive GOD’S precious Presence. Light, Life, Joy, and Peace flow freely through this gift. When your focus turns away from The LORD, you grasp for other things. You drop the glowing gift of GOD’S Presence as you reach for lifeless ashes. Return to GOD; regain HIS Presence.”

Scripture

“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

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. 1 TIMOTHY 2 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for giving me rest when I focus on you. Fill me with your joy, peace, light, and life. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but you have come to give life, abundant life! Help me to live the way you intended, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭21

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ ‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭21‬ NIV

How are you doing with what the Lord has given you? Are you faithful with your gift? When the Lord returns the most important words I would like to hear are “well done my good and faithful servant” Today’s prayer is that we would do all that we can for serving the Lord by sharing our gifts and the gospel while we are here on earth…….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 FOR REST and refreshment. – ROMANS 8 : 28, PSALM 42 : 11

“COME TO GOD FOR REST and refreshment. The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for GOD to take charge of your life. Remember that GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different. Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where The LORD intends you to be. You will get through today one step, one moment at a time. Your main responsibility is to remain attentive to The LORD, letting HIM guide you through the many choices along your pathway. This sounds like an easy assignment, but it is not. Your desire to live in The LORD’S Presence goes against the grain of “the world, the flesh, and the devil.” Much of your weariness results from your constant battle against these opponents. However, you are on the path of GOD’S choosing, so do not give up! Hope in The LORD, for you will again praise GOD for the help of HIS Presence.”

Scripture

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

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. PSALM 42 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to come to you for rest and refreshment. Guide me through the many choice points today. Help me to be more aware of your presence and to depend on you more and more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John‬ ‭2:5-6

“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:5-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture breaks it down in such simple terms it’s amazing. If someone asked you if you love God what would your response be? Of course it would be YES so if you love God don’t you want to try to please him at all times? To live like Jesus is to live a life that is pleasing to God, to have the heart of a servant. Today’s prayer is that we would wake up daily and start our day out by praying “Heavenly Father let me not serve myself today, but serve only you” let your will be done throughout my day and make this day not mine but yours” I believe this confession will help us all live more like Jesus……..Be Blessed

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find not only GOD’S Presence but also HIS Peace. – ROMANS 8 : 6, PSALM 46 : 1 – 2

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find not only GOD’S Presence but also HIS Peace. To receive The LORD’S Peace, you must change your grasping, controlling stance to one of openness and trust. The only thing you can grasp without damaging your soul is GOD’S hand. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit within you to order your day and control your thoughts, for the mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace. You can have as much of GOD and HIS Peace as you want, through thousands of correct choices each day. The most persistent choice you face is whether to trust GOD or to worry. You will never run out of things to worry about, but you can choose to trust The LORD no matter what. GOD is an ever-present help in trouble. Trust The LORD, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”

Scripture

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. PSALM 46 : 1 – 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to change my grasping, controlling stance to one of openness and trust. Holy Spirit, order my day and control my thoughts, fill me with Life and Peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is the state you will have if you trust in the world, the world will bring temporary happiness and eternal sorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would have 100% trust in God and God alone……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

1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:11

“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you encouraging or are you breaking people down? Encouragement is one of the most important traits a person can have in my opinion, the world will break us down but being positive and encouraging others will bring hope. Today’s prayer is that in the midst of everything that is going on we would stand in God’s word and always do our best to shed that light of encouragement……Be Blessed
