GOD’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways HIS ways. – ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9, COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, PSALM 116 : 17

https://youtu.be/kJ4Kb-R3Gw8

“GOD’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways HIS ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’S ways and thoughts higher than yours. Remember who GOD is when you spend time with HIM. Marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with the King of the universe — any time, any place. Never take this amazing privilege for granted! Though GOD is vastly higher and greater than you, The LORD is training you to think HIS thoughts. As you spend time in The LORD’S Presence, HIS thoughts gradually form in your mind. GOD’S Holy Spirit is the Director of this process. Sometimes HE brings Bible verses to mind. Sometimes He enables you to hear GOD “speak” directly to you. These communications strengthen you and prepare you for whatever is before you on your life-path. Take time to listen to GOD’S voice. Through your sacrifice of precious time, The LORD will bless you far more than you dare to ask.”

Scripture

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2

I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to spend time sitting in your presence each day. Allowing your thoughts to gradually form in my mind. Help me to prepare my heart to celebrate the birth of Jesus and anticipate the glorious day Jesus comes back again to take us home. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭119 : 2

“Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,” Psalm‬ ‭119 : 2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Are you doing all you can to keep God’s word in your heart? Do you witness HIS grace and mercy to all you can? Are you seeking God in all you do with all your heart? This is God’s will for our life. Today’s prayer is that we would be the disciples that Jesus commissioned us to be testifying to all we can and seeking God’s direction with our whole heart …… 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

DO NOT BE SURPRISED by the fiery attacks on your mind. – EPHESIANS 6 : 12, 1 SAMUEL 17 : 47, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 10, 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9

https://youtu.be/Y0CfXkegURo

“DO NOT BE SURPRISED by the fiery attacks on your mind. When you struggle to find GOD and to live in GOD’S Peace, don’t let discouragement set in. You are engaged in massive warfare, spiritually speaking. The evil one abhors your closeness to GOD, and his demonic underlings are determined to destroy your intimacy. When you find yourself in the thick of battle, call upon The LORD’S Name: “Jesus, help me!” At that instant, the battle becomes The LORD’S; your role is simply to trust The LORD as HE fights for you. GOD’S Name, properly used, has unlimited Power to bless and protect. At the end of time, every knee will bow (in heaven, on earth, and under the earth), when The LORD’S Name is proclaimed. People who have used “Jesus” as a shoddy swear word will fall down in terror on that awesome day. But all those who have drawn near The LORD through trustingly uttering HIS Name will be filled with inexpressible and glorious Joy. This is your great hope, as you await GOD’S return.”

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. EPHESIANS 6 : 12

“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” 1 SAMUEL 17 : 47

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 10

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9

Prayer: Lord, today I put on the armor you’ve provided. The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, shoes fitted with the gospel of peace, my shield of faith to block the flaming arrows of the enemy, and my sword which is the word of God. Now I’m ready Lord. Let’s go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭25 : 34 – 40

““Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” Matthew‬ ‭25 : 34 – 40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture is so powerful!!! Jesus speaks of helping those in need, being that HE considers all creation HIS. When was the last time you lent a helping hand to a complete stranger? When was the last time you made a selfless act of kindness? Today’s prayer is that we would see Jesus in all we come across and treat them as if they were the most special person 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

THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE. – ISAIAH 9 : 6, JOHN 20 : 19 – 21, PSALM 25 : 4

https://youtu.be/s05hYdMo54U

“THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE. As The LORD said to HIS disciples, “I say also to you: Peace be with you”. Since The LORD your constant Companion, GOD’S Peace is steadfastly with you. When you keep your focus on GOD, you experience both GOD”S Presence and GOD”S Peace. Worship GOD as King of kings, Lord of lords, and Prince of Peace. You need The LORD’S Peace each moment to accomplish HIS purposes in your life. Sometimes you are tempted to take shortcuts, in order to reach your goal as quickly as possible. But if the shortcut requires turning your back on GOD’S peaceful Presence, you must choose the longer route. Walk with GOD along paths of Peace; enjoy the journey in GOD”S Presence.”

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9 : 6

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” JOHN 20 : 19 – 21

Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. PSALM 25 : 4 (NKJV)

Prayer: Jesus, Prince of Peace, thank You for Your constant presence. Help me walk in Your peace, trust Your timing, and worship You as my King. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Peter‬ ‭1 : 6 – 7

“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1 : 6 – 7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

How do you deal with the trials of life? Do you stress, worry, curse, cry or pray? Prayer and communication with our Lord during trials is critical!!! Not communicating with God shows your dependence on your self effort. Today’s prayer is that you exercise your faith in God not yourself! When trials rear their ugly head seek God for council ……. Be Blessed

LET GOD INFUSE HIS PEACE into your innermost being. – ISAIAH 58 : 11, ISAIAH 40 : 11

https://youtu.be/-83fC8M6Ym0

“LET GOD INFUSE HIS PEACE into your innermost being. As you sit quietly in the Light of GOD’S Presence, you can sense Peace growing within you. This is not something that you accomplish through self-discipline and willpower; it is opening yourself to receive GOD’S blessing. In this age of independence, people find it hard to acknowledge their neediness. However, GOD has taken you along a path that has highlighted your need for HIM: placing you in situations where your strengths were irrelevant and your weaknesses were glaringly evident. Through the aridity of those desert marches, The LORD has drawn you closer and closer to Himself. You have discovered flowers of Peace blossoming in the most desolate places. You have learned to thank GOD for hard times and difficult journeys, trusting that through them GOD accomplishes HIS best work. You have realized that needing The LORD is the key to knowing GOD intimately, which is the gift above all gifts.”

Scripture

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. ISAIAH 58 : 11

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. ISAIAH 40 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord God, infuse your peace in my innermost being. As I sit quietly with you I can feel your peace growing within me. Help me to put my spiritual armor on each day, prepared for spiritual battle. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm 68 : 19

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Psalm 68 : 19 NIV

Short and sweet, today I pray that we all would grasp the purpose of the Cross and understand that Jesus took and did it all. Today’s prayer is that we would know without a doubt that Jesus is the King of Kings, Lord of all, doer of all things good …….. Be Blessed

Matthew‬ ‭11 : 28 – 30

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11 : 28 – 30‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Do you just seem to struggle and never get to that place of rest? Maybe it’s because you are trying to do things your own way? Trying to be the fixer and not get fixed! The words of Jesus tell us to come to him!! Are you handing over your troubles? I’m not saying that if you hand them over and life is going to be full of rainbows and unicorns, there will always be trials and struggles but the way of the world will continue to bring problems! The way of Jesus will bring peace in the middle of the storms. Today’s prayer is that we would be so in tune with God’s word that we would never be shaken and stand strong on the word!!!! Hand the problem off to Jesus and take the next trial head on ……. Be Blessed
