​REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE in a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. – EXODUS 20 : 3, PSALM 37 : 4

https://youtu.be/OdtSqdCJ3Ts

“REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE in a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except GOD. That is why closeness to GOD satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with Joy. GOD has planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which The LORD alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus they create idols, before which they bow down. GOD will have no other gods before HIM! Make GOD the deepest desire of your heart. Let The LORD fulfill your yearning for perfection.”

Scripture

“You shall have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20 : 3 

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus Christ, remind me that this world is broken and only You are perfect. Help me stop chasing satisfaction in people or things, and instead, turn my heart fully toward You. Be my greatest desire, and fill the deep places in me with Your perfect love and joy. Amen!

Genesis‬ ‭4 : 3 – 7

“And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4 : 3 – 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I believe this scripture is essential for all of us. Cain brought the least and Able brought the first, the best, the deserving of the Lord! Are you giving God your best or just the leftovers? Today’s prayers are that we would always give God our best, our 100% be faithful to God because he is always faithful to us …….. 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 WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. – 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16, 1 JOHN 4 : 18

https://youtu.be/LCtDpmx3YaI

“GOD WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. When your focus is firmly on GOD, HIS Peace displaces fears and worries. They will encircle you, seeking entrance, so you must stay alert. Let trust and thankfulness stand guard, turning back fear before it can gain a foothold. There is no fear in GOD’S Love, which shines on you continually. Sit quietly in GOD’S Love-Light, while The LORD bless you with radiant Peace. Turn your whole being to trusting and loving GOD.”

Scripture

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16 

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 : 18

Personal Note

As a parent this also brings to mind my children ( one in early 20’s and one in early teen years ) as they grow and make mistakes I don’t want them to think “Dad’s going to be mad I need to figure this out on my own” instead I want them to think “I messed up – I’ll call Dad he’ll help me” As Christians we should love and trust GOD not fear HIM as a child loves and trusts their parent without fear. 

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus Christ, I want You to be the center of my heart and mind. Let Your Peace push out every fear and worry, and help me stay rooted in trust and thankfulness. Fill me with Your love and light, and teach me to rest in Your Presence today. Amen.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭12 : 5‬

“So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭12 : 5‬ ‭NIV

Peter was equivalent to our pastors today, he assembled the people built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Peter endured many different types of persecution and the people continued to pray together for him. Today’s pastors are no different, they are also under attack from the devil for all the souls they are winning for God. Today’s prayer is that we would always pray for our pastors, pray God would give them wisdom, strength, humility, and most of all direction to grow God’s church the way He intended it to be ……. Be Blessed and Pray Hard!

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

RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, holy Presence. – PSALM 46 : 10, 1 JOHN 3 : 2

https://youtu.be/SgkKauQTCig

“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, holy Presence. Be still, while GOD transforms your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive GOD’S Peace. Cease striving, and know that The LORD IS GOD. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of GOD. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on The LORD. It is through knowing GOD intimately that you become like HIM. This requires spending time alone with GOD. Let go, relax, be still, and know that The LORD IS GOD.”

Scripture

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (NKJV)

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 JOHN 3 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to let go of my worries and striving, and simply rest in Your Presence. Quiet my mind and heart so I can know You more deeply — not through rules or performance, but through real relationships. Teach me to be still and trust that You are God. Amen

Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 19

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 19‬ ‭NASB‬‬

The world tells us that Hope is a waste of time!!!! As a believer that is crazy!!!! Remember when you were a kid and hope was all you had for that new baseball glove or pair of new shoes? That is the same Hope we should have today in our promise from God’s Word. Today’s prayer is that we would never lose Hope in anything!!! With Hope and Prayer all things are possible! …… Be Blessed

GOD’S CHILD, THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH YOU. – ISAIAH 41 : 10, ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17 , PSALM 34 : 19

https://youtu.be/yXjj0YnItEM

“GOD’S CHILD, THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH YOU. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave GOD out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though GOD yearns to help, The LORD will not violate your freedom. GOD stands silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that HE is with you. When you turn from your problems to GOD’S Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but you carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to “fix” everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with GOD. Together with The LORD you can handle whatever this day brings.”

Scripture

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ISAIAH 41 : 10 

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17 

A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all. PSALM 34 : 19

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, when my mind is overwhelmed and tangled in worry, remind me to turn to You. Help me stop trying to fix everything on my own and instead lean into Your Presence. Thank You for carrying my burdens with me and bringing peace even when nothing around me changes. 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 yourself 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

Philippians‬ ‭3‬ : ‭20

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, ‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬ : ‭20‬ NIV

In the world today you have to wonder what is going on. All the things that are going on around us have to make you go WOW. As Christians we should know what’s going on, The LORD spoke about all these things in the end times. No one likes to hear the statement “end times” but it’s reality. Our home is in heaven with The LORD, not here on earth! It’s temporary. Today’s prayer is that the days we live on earth that we would witness the love of Jesus Christ to all ……. 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

Philippians‬ ‭2 : 3 – 4

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2 : 3 – 4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When you do something nice for someone do you expect something or just do it from humility and love? This scripture tells us to do nothing out of selfishness or vain conceit. Today’s prayer is that we would have the mind of Christ in all things, live humble and experience true joy …….. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have 2 Corinthians 5 : 17
