1‭ John‬ ‭4 : 4

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1‭ John‬ ‭4 : 4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Like you don’t measure up? Well you never will by the world’s standards! This scripture reminds us that The Holy Spirit who lives in us has overcome all things! Today’s prayer is that when depression, unworthiness, wanting to give up comes upon us, turn to The Lord not the world!!!! 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

TRUST GOD in the depths of your being. – COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, MATTHEW 28 : 20, JOHN 20 : 19

“TRUST GOD in the depths of your being. It is there that GOD lives in constant communion with you. When you feel flustered and frazzled on the outside, do not get upset with yourself. You are only human, and the swirl of events going on all around you will sometimes feel overwhelming. Rather than scolding yourself for your humanness, remind yourself that The LORD is both with you and within you. GOD is with you at all times, encouraging and supportive rather than condemning. The LORD knows that deep within you, where HE lives, HIS Peace is your continual experience. Slow down your pace of living for a time. Quiet your mind in GOD’S Presence. Then you will be able to hear The LORD bestowing the resurrection blessing: Peace be with you.”

Scripture

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 

“. . . and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20 

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!” JOHN 20 : 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, in the chaos around me and the noise within me, quiet my anxious thoughts. Steady my heart with Your nearness. Let me live from that inner place where Your calm reigns and Your voice says, “Peace be with you.” Amen.

John‬ ‭3 : 30

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 30‬ ‭NKJV

Are you always choosing what best fills your desire? Do you choose you first or GOD first? Today’s prayer is that we would start each day with this prayer, Lord have your way in my day, strengthen me with your Holy Spirit and let my day be less of me and all of you! In Jesus Christ Name …….. 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

WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness. – PSALM 29 : 2, ISAIAH 6 : 3

“WORSHIP GOD in the beauty of holiness. GOD created beauty to declare the existence of HIS Holy Being. A magnificent rose, a hauntingly glorious sunset, oceanic splendor— all these things were meant to proclaim GOD’S Presence in the world. Most people rush past these proclamations without giving them a second thought. Some people use beauty, especially feminine loveliness, to sell their products. How precious are GOD’S children who are awed by nature’s beauty; this opens them up to HIS Holy Presence. Even before you knew The LORD personally, you responded to HIS creation with wonder. This is a gift, and it carries responsibility with it. Declare GOD’S Glorious Being to the world. The whole earth is full of The LORD’S radiant beauty — GOD’S Glory!”

Scripture

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV) 

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

Prayer: God, help me slow down and notice the beauty You’ve placed all around me. Let every glimpse of creation stir awe in my heart and draw me closer to You. May I not just enjoy it—but reflect Your glory and declare Your Presence wherever I go. Amen.

1 Peter 1 : 18 – 21

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Peter 1 : 18 – 21 NKJV

Payments for things of the world are all temporary, you pay your mortgage and payment is required a month later, you pay your car payment and it’s again due next month. On that day at Calvary payment for our lives was given once and for all!!!!! Never again is payment needed, you could say Jesus Christ has the title to our souls. Today, realize the liberty we have in Jesus Christ and praise HIS Holy name, all around us is temporal but heaven is eternal …………. 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

​​COME TO GOD CONTINUALLY. – HEBREWS 6 : 19, 1 JOHN 2 : 28, MATTHEW 22 : 37

“COME TO GOD CONTINUALLY. GOD is meant to be the Center of your consciousness, the Anchor of your soul. Your mind will wander from GOD, but the question is how far you allow it to wander. An anchor on a short rope lets a boat drift only slightly before the taut line tugs the boat back toward the center. Similarly, as you drift away from GOD, HIS Holy Spirit within you gives a tug, prompting you to return to The LORD. As you become increasingly attuned to GOD’S Presence, the length of rope on your soul’s Anchor is shortened. You wander only a short distance before feeling that inner tug— telling you to return to your true Center in GOD.”

Scripture

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19 

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. 1 JOHN 2 : 28 

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” MATTHEW 22 : 37

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, keep me anchored in You today. When my thoughts drift, tug gently on my heart and bring me back to Your Presence. I want You to be the Center of my life—my peace, my focus, my steady place. Thank You for always drawing me near. Amen.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4 : 18 – 21

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.” Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had their eyes fixed on him, as he said to them, “This passage of scripture has come true today, as you heard it being read.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4 : 18 – 21‬ ‭GNT‬‬

This bit of scripture speaks right to my heart, Jesus Christ stood in the synagogue and outright told them all HE was The Messiah. The ones who believed followed, but the others called him a blasphemer. In the world today times have not changed, there are those who follow, and those who say Jesus Christ is a fairy tale. Today’s prayer is that we would witness to the world that Jesus Christ is alive!!!! HE is still healing, HE is still setting the captive free, HE is still The Messiah and will reign forever …….. 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

​LET GOD’S LOVE seep into the inner recesses of your being.- PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 23 – 24, 1 JOHN 4 : 18

“LET GOD’S LOVE seep into the inner recesses of your being. Do not close off any part of yourself from The LORD. GOD knows you inside and out, so do not try to present a “cleaned-up” self to HIM. Wounds that you shut away from the Light of GOD’S Love will fester and become wormy. Secret sins that you “hide” from GOD can split off and develop lives of their own, controlling you without your realizing it. Open yourself fully to The LORD’S transforming Presence. Let GOD’S brilliant Love-Light search out and destroy hidden fears. This process requires time alone with GOD, as HIS Love soaks into your innermost being. Enjoy GOD’S perfect Love, which expels every trace of fear.”

Scripture

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4, 23 – 24 

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18 

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, shine Your Love-Light into every hidden place in me. I don’t want to keep any part of myself from You. Heal what’s been festering, break hold of anything I’ve hidden, and replace it with Your peace. Let Your perfect love drive out every fear. Amen.

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 Christ tell us to come to HIM!! Are you handing over your troubles? I’m not saying to 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 Christ 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 Christ and take the next trial head on ……. Be Blessed

AS YOU LISTEN to birds calling to one another, hear also GOD’S Love-call to you. – JOHN 10 : 27, ROMANS 8 : 28, JEREMIAH 29 : 13

“AS YOU LISTEN to birds calling to one another, hear also GOD’S Love-call to you. GOD speaks to you continually: through Scripture, sights, sounds, thoughts, impressions. There is no limit to the variety of ways The LORD can communicate with you. Your part is to be attentive to HIS messages, in whatever form they come. When you set out to find GOD in a day, you discover that the world is vibrantly alive with HIS Presence. You can find GOD not only in beauty and bird calls, but also in tragedy and faces filled with grief. GOD can take the deepest sorrow and weave it into a pattern for good. Search for GOD and HIS messages, as you go through this day. You will seek GOD and find The LORD when you seek HIM with your whole being.”

Scripture

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27 

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for speaking to me continually in so many creative ways. Help me to be more attentive to you, searching and finding you everywhere. You are the treasure my soul longs for. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
