Matthew‬ ‭9 : 13‬

“But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9 : 13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you think you’re not good enough? Do you think you have to get your act cleaned up before you can call upon the Lord? Jesus tells us he did not call for the righteous but the sinners to repent. Most of the Christians I know (including myself) could not have been further from God when they met him and most of them are the most “on fire” believers I know. Today’s prayer is that we would witness our testimony to those who do not believe and let them know Jesus is waiting with arms wide open no matter where they are ……. 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

Ephesians‬ ‭1 : 5 – 7

“he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1 : 5 – 7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To truly understand what Jesus did for us is mind blowing! If God had not sent Jesus Christ to the cross for all of us we would have never had the chance to get into right standing with God. When God sees us he sees us through Jesus Christ, so therefore he sees perfection. Today I pray that we would never forget the grace that has been given to us freely and undeserved. Praise Jesus Christ in all things and be thankful for all you have, the alternative would have been brutal …… 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

CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH THE LORD, enjoying HIS Presence even in adversity. – HEBREWS 7 : 25, PSALM 37 : 3 – 4

“CONTINUE ON THIS PATH WITH THE LORD, enjoying HIS Presence even in adversity. GOD is always before you, as well as alongside you. See The LORD beckoning to you: “Come! Follow Me”. The One who goes ahead of you, opening up the way, is the same One who stays close and never lets go of your hand. GOD is not subject to limitations of time or space. GOD is everywhere at every time, ceaselessly working on your behalf. That is why your best efforts are trusting GOD and living close to HIM.”

Scripture

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. HEBREWS 7 : 25

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 3 – 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to walk this path with You, trusting in Your presence even in adversity. You go before me and stay beside me, guiding my steps and holding my hand. Teach me to rest in Your constant care, knowing that my greatest work is simply to trust You. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84 : 10‬

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84 : 10‬

As a believer the personal relationship with the Lord is priceless. This Psalm speaks of spending one day with the Lord rather than a thousand elsewhere. When you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and don’t spend time with him in fellowship, prayer would be like not talking to your husband or wife while they’re sitting right next to you, sooner or later the question will come up “what’s wrong?”. Today’s prayer is that we would take every opportunity to have lines of communication with Jesus Christ for he is there waiting ……. 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

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

Are you constantly in The Word? Do you daily seek God’s direction for your life by HIS written living Truth ? The Bible is living and if we are not constantly reading we are dying!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would all commit to reading God’s Word daily for it is food for our souls! Watch the difference in your life when you do …… 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 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
