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 give blessings in expectation of reward!!! 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

THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. – EPHESIANS 5 : 20, PSALM 118 : 1, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/TP7-fJ-DCTU

“THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. That is why GOD has instructed you to give thanks for everything. There is an element of mystery in this transaction: You give GOD thanks (regardless of your feelings), and GOD gives you Joy (regardless of your circumstances). This is a spiritual act of obedience—at times, blind obedience. To people who don’t know The LORD intimately, it can seem irrational and even impossible to thank GOD for heartrending hardships. Nonetheless, those who obey The LORD in this way are invariably blessed, even though difficulties may remain. Thankfulness opens your heart to GOD’S Presence and your mind to GOD’S thoughts. You may still be in the same place, with the same set of circumstances, but it is as if a light has been switched on, enabling you to see from The LORD’S perspective. It is this Light of GOD’S Presence that removes the sting from adversity.”

Scripture

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. PSALM 118 : 1

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God as I give you thanks regardless of my circumstances, open my heart to your presence and my mind to your thoughts. Remove the sting from adversity as my eyes are fixed on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭29:11

“A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you vent about everything? Or do you take it to the Lord? This proverb calls venting foolish, but to hold the feelings back is wise. Today’s prayer is that we would not vent! Venting becomes gossip and I believe this is displeasing to God, take your issues to God that is the wise choice…….Be Blessed

AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD”S PRESENCE, let GOD fill your heart and mind with thankfulness. – ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, PSALM 4 : 7 – 8

https://youtu.be/_TJq86riws4

“AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD”S PRESENCE, let GOD fill your heart and mind with thankfulness. This is the most direct way to achieve a thankful stance. If your mind needs a focal point, gaze at JESUS CHRIST, The LORD’S Love poured out for you on the cross. Remember that nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from that Love. This remembrance builds a foundation of gratitude in you, a foundation that circumstances cannot shake. As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. GOD lovingly goes before you and plants little pleasures to brighten your day. Look carefully for them, and pluck them one by one. When you reach the end of the day, you will have gathered a lovely bouquet. Offer it up to The LORD with a grateful heart. Receive GOD’S Peace as you lie down to sleep, with thankful thoughts playing a lullaby in your mind.”

Scripture

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. PSALM 4 : 7 – 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord as I sit quietly with you, fill my mind with thankfulness. Open my eyes to see the big and small blessings you have placed in my life today. And when my mind needs a place to focus, remind me to focus on Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

The world can just straight out kick your butt!!! But will you let it? This scripture tells us that greater is Jesus that is in us than Satan who is in the world. Day by day can be rough but we have to confess this scripture when the trials arise. Today’s prayer is that we would not become prisoners to the evil ways of the world and fully understand our eternal future……Be Blessed

A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18, PSALM 46 : 1

https://youtu.be/rJUe05oJQKM

“A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive your hope. Thankfulness opens you up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral: ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of Love, which enables you to communicate intimately with GOD. A thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in The LORD JESUS CHRIST, your Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations. The LORD is your refuge and strength, an ever-present and well-proved help in trouble.”

Scripture

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. PSALM 46 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord no matter what goes on this week help me to have a thankful mind-set. To praise you on the mountain top and in the valley. May you be my focal point this Thanksgiving week and may I be a reflection of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. ‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. God’s plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve an all loving, caring, and protecting God…….Be Blessed

THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. – LUKE 24 : 36, MATTHEW 28 : 20, HEBREWS 13 : 15

https://youtu.be/hfRRwRjuL8E

“THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. These are gifts of supernatural proportions. Ever since the resurrection, The LORD Jesus Christ, has comforted HIS followers with these messages: Peace be with you, and The LORD is with you always. Listen as The LORD offers you HIS Peace and Presence in full measure. The best way to receive these glorious gifts is to thank GOD for them. It is impossible to spend too much time thanking and praising The LORD. GOD created you first and foremost to glorify HIM. Thanksgiving and praise put you in a proper relationship with GOD, opening the way for HIS riches to flow into you. As you thank The LORD for HIS Presence and Peace, you appropriate GOD’S richest gifts.”

Scripture

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” LUKE 24 : 36

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your presence and your peace. Every good and perfect gift comes from you. Your purpose for me is to live a rich and satisfying life in Christ for your glory. Help me to do so this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭23:26

“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you gave your heart to Jesus life truly began. The day you gave your life to the Lord you were so full of joy, so full of doing what was right in the Lord’s eyes, are you still that committed or have you changed? The Lord says he delights in following his ways and so should we. Today’s prayer is that we would all do a once over and check our condition. Are we more on fire or has our flames dwindled to smoke…… Be Blessed and light that fire back up

GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. – EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19, PSALM 62 : 8

https://youtu.be/xBtniw4YLNY

“GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. Allow yourself to become fully aware of GOD’S pleasure shining upon you. You don’t have to perform well in order to receive HIS Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from GOD, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don’t measure up to your expectations. Shift your focus from your performance to GOD’S radiant Presence. The Light of HIS Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love. Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank The LORD for everything; trust in GOD at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to The LORD’S loving Presence.”

Scripture

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that I don’t have to perform well to receive your love. Your love is unchangeable. Nothing I do could make you love me more or less. You are my constant rock on which I stand. Teach me to love like you do. Transform my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
