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

1 Timothy‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭4 ‬- ‭5‬

“Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭4 ‬- ‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Happy Thanksgiving!! To be thankful is to embrace all kinds of situations! Are you mad at someone? Are you barring a weight you can’t let go of? Well let go let God!!! Today’s prayer and every day’s prayer is we would be thankful for all!!! From waking up in the morning to going to sleep at night, give God praise in everything and be thankful for all you have……Be Blessed and be a Blessing this day and everyday

Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30

“Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then, did the weeds come from?’ “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13 : 24 – 30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This parable has always ministered to me in an eye opening way. This relates to choice, The choice to believe or not believe. To live among the weeds can be a negative or a positive, if we take the opportunity to witness the Gospel it’s a positive, if we choose to let them affect us then it becomes a negative. Today’s prayer is that we would understand that God leaves the weeds until his time comes, God wants not one to Be lost but all to be saved……. Take the opportunity to witness and Be Blessed

LET THANKFULNESS RULE in your heart. – COLOSSIANS 3 : 15 , ACTS 9 : 18, REVELATION 19 : 5 – 6, PSALM 100 : 4 – 5

https://youtu.be/V4AM3W8X6RM

LET THANKFULNESS RULE in your heart. As you thank GOD for blessings in your life, a marvelous thing happens. It is as if scales fall off your eyes, enabling you to see more and more of GOD’S glorious riches. With your eyes thus opened, you can help yourself to whatever you need from The LORD’S treasure house. Each time you receive one of GOD’S golden gifts, let your thankfulness sing out praises to HIS Name. “Hallelujahs” are the language of heaven, and they can become the language of your heart. A life of praise and thankfulness becomes a life filled with miracles. Instead of trying to be in control, focus on GOD and what HE is doing. This is the power of praise: centering your entire being in GOD. This is how The LORD created you to live, for GOD made you in HIS own image. Enjoy abundant life by overflowing with praise and thankfulness.”

Scripture

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized. ACTS 9 : 18

Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!” Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.” REVELATION 19 : 5 – 6

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. PSALM 100 : 4 – 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord let thankfulness rule in my heart. The more I’m grateful the more you open my eyes to see even more of your glorious riches. May praise and thankfulness be the language of my heart so I can live the abundant life you created me for. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1 – 16

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.””
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1 – 16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture is so important to meditate on right now! If you’re battling stress, worry, uncertainty, or anything that has you preoccupied. Today’s prayer is we would all take this time to bring with our families and truly trust that God Almighty will provide and carry us through it ….. Be Blessed
