MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. – ROMANS 8 : 28, 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

“MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that GOD is sovereign over everything. GOD can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust HIM. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece The LORD created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust GOD or defy HIM. The best way to befriend your problems is to thank GOD for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than with dread. The next step is to introduce them to The LORD, enabling GOD to embrace them in HIS loving Presence. GOD will not necessarily remove your problems, but GOD’S wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.”

Scripture

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

But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 1 : 23 – 24

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to trust You in every problem, knowing that You will bring good from even the hardest circumstances. Teach me to face challenges with gratitude rather than fear, seeing them as opportunities to grow closer to You and strengthening my faith. Amen.

2 Corinthians 10 : 5

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10 : 5 NKJV

One of the most difficult things to overcome in the natural world is to put bad thoughts out of your mind, how are we going to pay the mortgage, why can’t I get ahead in life? Negative thoughts will eventually take over in the form of actual situations if you don’t know what God’s word says about that situation. Today when negative thoughts enter your mind confess God/s word and get rid of that “stinking thinking” We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus …….. 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

REFUSE TO WORRY! – LUKE 12 : 25 – 26, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18

“REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with GOD, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of GOD’S Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from The LORD’S perspective. Live close to GOD! Together you can keep the wolves of worry at bay.”

Scripture

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, the temptation to be anxious or worry often tries to worm its way into my thoughts and my day, but when that happens, help me to quickly recognize the enemy at work and turn my thoughts to your promises and your presence and your truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen

Psalms‬ ‭119 : 130‬

“The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” Psalms‬ ‭119 : 130‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. – EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6, JOHN 10 : 4

“GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You must learn to discern what is GOD’S voice and what is not. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of The LORD’S children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with GOD each moment, listening for GOD’S directives and enjoying HIS Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. The LORD’S sheep know HIS voice and follow HIM wherever The LORD leads.”

Scripture

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. JOHN 10 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to discern Your voice above all others and walk closely with You each day. Let me find peace in Your presence, trusting Your guidance over the noise of the world. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭13 : 14

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” Hebrews‬ ‭13 : 14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s easy to get frustrated with all that is going on in the world today but this scripture is reassuring this life is just temporary. Our next life is eternal and perfect. Today’s prayer is that when things get rough we hold on to the promise we have in Heaven …….. Be Blessed

GOD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from GOD. – JOHN 11 : 25, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29, 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9

“GOD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from GOD. People search for life in many wrong ways: chasing after fleeting pleasures, accumulating possessions and wealth, trying to deny the inevitable effects of aging. Meanwhile, GOD freely offers abundant Life to everyone who turns toward HIM. As you come to GOD and take HIS yoke upon you, The LORD fills you with HIS very Life. This is how GOD chooses to live in the world and accomplish HIS purposes. This is also how The LORD blesses you with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. The Joy is GOD’S, and the Glory is GOD’S; but GOD bestows them on you as you live in HIS Presence, inviting HIM to live fully in you.”

Scripture

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” JOHN 11 : 25

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29

Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, You are the Resurrection and the Life, and true abundance is found only in You. Help me to turn away from the empty pursuits of this world and embrace the fullness of life You freely offer. Fill me with Your joy and presence, that I may live for Your glory. Amen.

1 John 1 : 5 – 7

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1 : 5 – 7 NKJV

It is so important as Christian’ to let our light shine, it is so easy when trials arise to shut the light off and let the dark show and that is exactly what the devil wants. To have true fellowship with The Lord is defined by our actions, remember non believers and some believers are watching what we do under the gun. Today I pray that we all will let our light shine to the glory of God, for he created light and he is light ……….. 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

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

Psalms‬ ‭69 ‬: ‭5‬

“O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭69 ‬: ‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

To try to hide your sin from God is a foolish move! For God sees all. I know so many people who run from God when they sin instead of running to God when they sin!!! Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and sin we would go directly to God and repent and ask God to forgive and help us to not sin again …….. 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
