Proverbs‬ ‭19 ‬: ‭21‬

You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. Proverbs‬ ‭19 ‬: ‭21‬ NLT

I have taken many wrong turns in my lifetime, the life I had before Jesus was my plan, not God’s. Sometimes we think we have it all figured out, we know what would be best for us, ummmm NEGATIVE!!!!! Today I pray that when things don’t go the way we planned them that we would thank God for his ultimate plan, his everlasting plan …….. 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 THE GIFT that continuously gives — bounteously, with no strings attached. – 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, PSALM 13 : 5

https://youtu.be/ZfwY99v3RrA

“GOD IS THE GIFT that continuously gives — bounteously, with no strings attached. Unconditional Love is such a radical concept that even GOD’S most devoted followers fail to grasp it fully. Absolutely nothing in heaven or on earth can cause The LORD to stop loving you. You may feel more loved when you are performing according to your expectations. But GOD’S Love for you is perfect; therefore it is not subject to variation. What does vary is your awareness of The LORD’S loving Presence. When you are dissatisfied with your behavior, you tend to feel unworthy of GOD’S Love. You may unconsciously punish yourself by withdrawing from GOD and attributing the distance between you to HIS displeasure. Instead of returning to The LORD and receiving HIS Love, you attempt to earn GOD’S approval by trying harder. All the while, GOD is aching to hold you in HIS everlasting arms, to enfold you in HIS Love. When you are feeling unworthy or unloved, come to GOD. Then ask for receptivity to GOD’S unfailing Love.”

Scripture

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: God I trust you. You know the number of hairs on my head. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen

AS YOU WAIT attentively in GOD’S Presence, the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines upon you. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 6 – 7, LUKE 2 : 13 – 14, 2 CORINTHIANS 8 : 9

https://youtu.be/X5_LOLHh-LU

“AS YOU WAIT attentively in GOD’S Presence, the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines upon you. This radiant knowledge transcends all understanding. It transforms every fiber of your being: renewing your mind, cleansing your heart, invigorating your body. Open yourself fully to GOD’S Presence; be awed by HIS glorious Being. Try to imagine what The LORD, JESUS CHRIST gave up when HE came to earth as a baby. The LORD set aside HIS Glory, so that The LORD could identify with mankind. JESUS CHRIST accepted the limitations of infancy under the most humble conditions — a stable. Angels lit up the sky proclaiming “Glory!” to awe-struck shepherds. As you sit quietly with GOD, heaven’s vistas open up before you—granting you glimpses of HIS Glory. CHRIST, The LORD became poor so that you might become rich. Sing hallelujahs to The LORD’S Holy Name!”

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 6 – 7

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” LUKE 2 : 13 – 14

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. 2 CORINTHIANS 8 : 9

Prayer: Lord, provide peace and joy as we celebrate the true reason for this day—Your coming to earth to live a sinless life and be the perfect sacrifice to restore us to God for eternity. Merry Christmas Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬ :‭ 4 – 5

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. ‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬ :‭ 4 – 5‬ NLT

Reality check! We sometimes think life is unfair, we complain about the most trivial things, we exchange our thankfulness of life in general for what? Today I pray that we would all remember the gift we were given when Jesus so graciously went to the cross in our place, that gift was Love and Life ……. 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 SPEAKS TO YOU from the depths of eternity. – PSALM 90 : 2, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

https://youtu.be/1FkKlE5KAng

“GOD SPEAKS TO YOU from the depths of eternity. Before the world was formed, GOD WAS! You hear GOD in the depths of your being, where HE has taken up residence. GOD is Christ in you, the hope of Glory. JESUS CHRIST, your Lord and Savior, is alive within you. Learn to tune in to GOD’S living Presence by seeking HIM in silence. As you celebrate the wonder of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S birth in Bethlehem, celebrate also your rebirth into eternal life. This everlasting gift was the sole purpose of The LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S entering your sin-stained world. Receive The LORD’S gift with awe and humility. Take time to explore the vast dimensions of GOD’S Love. Allow thankfulness to flow freely from your heart in response to The LORD’S glorious gift. Let GOD’S Peace rule in your heart, and be thankful.”

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. PSALM 90 : 2

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

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

Prayer: Lord, help me to tune into Your living presence by seeking You in the stillness. Thank You for sending Your Son, who made the ultimate sacrifice so I could be with You forever. This Christmas, help me keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and my heart full of gratitude for all He has done. In His name, I pray. Amen.

‭‭Titus‬ ‭2 : 11

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭2 : 11‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Not one of us is different when it comes to the opportunity of receiving salvation. The difference begins when we choose to reject what Christ did on the Cross. Jesus Christ died that day so that all of us could be set free from the of bondage and sin that we were born into, the sad truth is that many will reject the opportunity. Today’s prayer is that we would be a living testimony to what our salvation has done and is doing in our lives every single day …… 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

https://youtu.be/B7SuAbRfrb8

“GOD IS KING OF KINGS and Lord of lords, dwelling in dazzlingly bright Light! GOD is also your Shepherd, Companion, and Friend — The One who never lets go of your hand. Worship GOD in HIS Holy Majesty; come close to GOD, and rest in HIS Presence. You need The LORD both as GOD and as Man.

Since The LORD, JESUS CHRIST went to such extreme measures to save you from your sins, you can be assured that HE will graciously give you all you need. Nurture well your trust in GOD as Savior, Lord, and Friend. GOD have held back nothing in HIS provision for you. The LORD has even deigned to live within you! Rejoice in all that The LORD has done for you, and GOD’S Light will shine through you into the world.”

Scripture

. . . which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15 – 16

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. PSALM 95 : 6 – 7

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all— how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ROMANS 8 : 32

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 PETER 1 : 19

Revelation ‭3 ‬: ‭20

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation ‭3 ‬: ‭20‬ NLT

Do you hear that knock? Are you always ready for fellowship with Jesus? Or are we so wrapped up in our daily lives that we ignore that knock? Today’s prayer is that at all times we are taking the time to fellowship with the Lord, turn off the phone, TV, etc and fellowship with the Lord. It’s the best part of the day …….. 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

WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people – JOHN 2 : 11, LUKE 23 : 35 – 36, PSALM 92 : 1 – 5

https://youtu.be/6s-A401NK1c

“WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people. Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of JESUS CHRIST, especially when HE began to do miracles. Toward the end of HIS life, The LORD was taunted and tempted to display more of HIS awesome Power than HIS Father’s plan permitted. The LORD could have called down legions of angels to rescue HIM at any point. Imagine the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will! All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with GOD that you now enjoy. Let your life become a praise song to The LORD by proclaiming GOD’S glorious Presence in the world.”

Scripture

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. JOHN 2 : 11

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar. . . . LUKE 23 : 35 – 36

Prayer

It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of youI’m r hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! PSALM 92 : 1 – 5

Prayer: Father, let my life be a praise song to you and your light shine brightly through me. Don’t let me miss Your sacrifice this Christmas season. Help me to simplify my activities and traditions so I can focus my celebration on Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
