Matthew‬ ‭5 : 44

“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” Matthew‬ ‭5 : 44‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is a hard one to swallow for most! Love your enemies? Pray for those who hate you? Ouch!!!!! These words came from GOD The Father who made all of us in HIS image and could not be more true. Today’s prayer is that we would meditate on this scripture and pray for all you know, by showing love towards those who hate you, you may just be the witness they need to find Jesus Christ …….. 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

TO LIVE IN GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. | PSALM 139 : 23 – 24, 1 PETER 5 : 6, JOB 1 : 21

https://youtu.be/2fc-jNx101M

“TO LIVE IN GOD’S Presence consistently, you must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it may seem. Don’t push those unpleasant feelings down; instead, let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of GOD’S Presence, so that The LORD can free you from them. The ultimate solution to rebellious tendencies is submission to GOD’S authority over you. Intellectually you rejoice in GOD’S sovereignty, without which the world would be a terrifying place. But when GOD’S sovereign will encroaches on your little domain of control, you often react with telltale resentment. The best response to losses or thwarted hopes is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things—your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time — are gifts from GOD. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything The LORD takes from you, but never let go of HIS hand!”

Scripture

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 : 23 – 24 

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 PETER 5 : 6 

And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” JOB 1 : 21 NKJV

Prayers

Prayer: God help me not to hold onto anything tighter than I hold onto you. You know what’s best, I trust your sovereign plan. Search my heart and show me any area I need to let go of my will to yield to yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭14 : 12

“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭14 : 12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The name lucifer means “shining one” bearer of light” in the traditional translation Hebrew. The name lucifer means ” Morning Star” in the Greek translation. In the modern church the name is known as Satan or the Devil. Before the fall of lucifer it’s said he was the most beautiful angel, so don’t you think he will entice you with things of beauty? Something that may look good and acceptable wrapped up in a devilish package? Today’s prayer is that we would be so led by the spirit of God that we would have the discernment to know the Good from evil …….. 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

GOD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. | PSALM 139 : 14, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16, 1 JOHN 1 : 7

“GOD IS YOUR LIVING GOD, far more abundantly alive than the most vivacious person you know. The human body is wonderfully crafted, but gravity and the inevitable effects of aging weigh it down. Even the most superb athlete cannot maintain his fitness over many decades. Lasting abundant life can be found in GOD alone. Do not be anxious about the weakness of your body. Instead, view it as the prelude to GOD infusing energy into your being. As you identify more and more fully with The LORD, HIS Life becomes increasingly intertwined with yours. Though the process of aging continues, inwardly you grow stronger with the passing years. Those who live close to GOD develop an inner aliveness that makes them seem youthful in spite of their years. Let GOD’S Life shine through you, as you walk in the Light with HIM.”

Scripture

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. PSALM 139 : 14 

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.  2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 16

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7

Prayer

Prayer: Lord though outwardly I am aging and growing weary, on the inside you are making me more and more alive. Fill me with Your strength and energy each day, and let Your light and joy shine through me. Amen.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1 : 4

“who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1 : 4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It is so important to witness to everyone we can! The world is broken and needs Jesus Christ. The same love and mercy is available to everyone and it’s our job as Christians to spread the Good News. Today’s prayer is that we would have the direction of the Holy Spirit to tell everyone about what Jesus Christ has done in our lives ……Be Blessed

ANXIETY IS A RESULT OF envisioning the future without GOD | LUKE 12 : 22 – 26, EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21

https://youtu.be/ozohJ3SeDDw

“ANXIETY IS A RESULT OF envisioning the future without GOD. So the best defense against worry is staying in communication with GOD. When you turn your thoughts toward GOD, you can think much more positively. Remember to listen, as well as to speak, making your thoughts a dialogue with The LORD. If you must consider upcoming events, follow these rules: 1) Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when you wander there. 2) Remember the promise of The LORD’S continual Presence; include GOD in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline does not come easily, because you are accustomed to being god of your fantasies. However, the reality of GOD’S Presence with you, now and forevermore, outshines any fantasy you could ever imagine.”

Scripture

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 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 : 22 – 26 

 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, when I start to worry about the future, remind me that You are already there. Help me stay close to You in every thought and conversation, trusting Your presence to quiet my anxiety and fill me with peace. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭28 : 7‬

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭28 : 7‬ ‭

Where does your strength come from? Who do you put your trust in? Today’s prayer is that we all would turn to JESUS CHRIST for our strength to overcome the daily trials and to trust and praise The LORD for all Daily. ……. Be Blessed!!!

John 14 : 6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14 : 6 NKJV

Jesus Christ said “I am the way” the way to eternal life is through salvation in Jesus  Christ which is a gift!!! Not of man’s effort. Jesus said “I am the truth” this means that every spoken word from HIM is absolute!!!! We should strive to be like HIM. The LORD said “I am the life” there is no life worth living aside from Jesus Christ !!!! HE is our comfort, counselor , best friend, our everything. Today meditate on the gift of salvation and give thanks for that unconditional love ……. Be Blessed!!!

Joel‬ ‭2 : 1

“Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand:” Joel‬ ‭2 : 1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There are signs all around us, from government to what you see on Tv!!! Open eyes know what’s coming closed eyes are our responsibility to help open. To witness to someone is not to preach at them but to preach to them!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would love all and I mean all!!!! Let GOD sort the rest out in HIS time ….. Be Blessed

LOOK TO GOD CONTINUALLY for help, comfort, and companionship. | PSALM 34 : 4 – 6, PSALM 105 : 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 3 – 4

“LOOK TO GOD CONTINUALLY for help, comfort, and companionship. Because GOD is always by your side, the briefest glance can connect you with GOD. When you look to GOD for help, it flows freely from HIS Presence. This recognition of your need for The LORD, in small matters as well as in large ones, keeps you spiritually alive. When you need comfort, The LORD loves to enfold you in HIS arms. The LORD enables you not only to feel comforted but also to be a channel through whom HE comforts others. Thus you are doubly blessed, because a living channel absorbs some of whatever flows through it. GOD’S constant Companionship is the “pièce de résistance”: the summit of salvation blessings. No matter what losses you experience in your life, no one can take away this glorious gift.”

Scripture

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. PSALM 34 : 4 – 6 

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4 

Prayer

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 3 – 4

Prayer: Lord, thank You for being my constant help, comfort, and companion. Teach me to look to You in every moment, big or small, and let Your comfort flow through me so I can share Your love and peace with others.
