“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” Luke 19:10 NIV
Jesus came to save the world, not condemn it! Jesus went to the lost to show them the way to eternal life, some followed and some didn’t. Today it has remained the same, some follow and some have too much pride to understand they need a savior. Today’s prayer is that we would as believers pray for the lost not condemn them…….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
“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” LUKE 6:38 NASB
This scripture is usually connected to financial gain, I believe this scripture describes everything in our lives. This scripture has always been ministered to me in the form of giving to others, blessing others, and most of all loving others. Today’s prayer is that we would meditate on this scripture and apply it to our lives the way we see fit…….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 GOD. 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, The LORD 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 GOD’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 HIM. The LORD will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.”
Scripture
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 have all I need. 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
Prayer: Lord help me to be content to be a simple sheep, listening for your voice and following only you. Thank you for dying in my place Jesus. You paid the ultimate price so I could have this freedom. Help me to live like I’m free. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” Colossians 1:10
Spiritual growth is a must as Christians!!! To stay as a babe in the Lord will lead to regression. The Lord has left us not only the Holy Spirit but also an instruction manual. Today’s prayer is we would all grow into the Lord’s way and bring him honor everyday……..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
“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 GOD’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 HIS 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 GOD 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.”
Scripture
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
Prayer: Lord when all I can see is a twisted and complicated path up ahead, gently remind me of your promises to hold me by my right hand, to guide me with your counsel, and hold onto the hope that one day you will take me home to be with you for eternity where there will be only clear paths on streets of gold. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” Romans 1:18-20
I believe the only thing God hates is Sin!!! God is love but sin is hate and that contradicts love! To live a life that is pleasing to God is to do your best to follow his ways! Love all, treat all with respect, be kind to all rich, poor, those who have different beliefs, etc!!!! God created all and his command is to love not hate! Today’s prayer is we would all try to please God in all our actions! We will fall short and that’s where his love comes in, but that doesn’t mean we can stop trying!!!! Love all, treat all as Jesus did…… 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
“APPROACH PROBLEMS with a light touch. When your mind moves toward a problem area, you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of GOD. You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious. Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated. There is a better way. When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this matter to GOD. Talk with The LORD about it and look at it in the Light of HIS Presence. This puts some much-needed space between you and your concern, enabling you to see from GOD’S perspective. You will be surprised at the results. Sometimes you may even laugh at yourself for being so serious about something so insignificant. You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have The LORD with you, helping you to handle whatever you encounter. Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them in GOD’S revealing Light.”
Scripture
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me not to be surprised or frustrated when I have trouble in this life. And help me never lose sight of the victory you’ve already won. The end is already written. Help me to talk with you about my light and momentary troubles and surrender them into your capable hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. Proverbs 15:16 NLT
A person is defined by what they have in life, where they live, where they work, and what their annual income is, but Solomon says it is better to have fear of The Lord than have great treasure. To have fear for The Lord is to know he is almighty, to fear turning from him or to displease him with our actions as believers. Our goal as Christians should be to fear living against God’s word. Today I pray we would have a all new fear in living against God’s word, and live up to his word with all we have…….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
“BASK IN THE LUXURY of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. Dare to see yourself as GOD sees you: radiant in HIS righteousness, cleansed by HIS blood. The LORD views you as the one HE created you to be, the one you will be in actuality when heaven becomes your home. It is The LORD’S Life within you that is changing you from glory to glory. Rejoice in this mysterious miracle! Thank GOD continually for the amazing gift of HIS Holy Spirit within you. Try to depend on the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit as you go through this day of life. Pause briefly from time to time so you can consult with this Holy One inside you. GOD will not force you to do His bidding, but GOD will guide you as you give Him space in your life. Walk along this wondrous way of collaboration with The LORD’S Holy Spirit.”
Scripture
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. PSALM 34 : 5
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. GALATIANS 5 : 25
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to depend on your Holy Spirit more today than I did yesterday. To pause to consult with Him before making a decision so I can do your will. Holy Spirit control my thoughts, my words, and my actions today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
