Daniel‬ ‭1 ‬:‭ 8

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. ‭Daniel‬ ‭1 ‬:‭ 8‬ NKJV

Are you putting your walk with JESUS CHRIST to the side to please others? Daniel would not sacrifice his faith to please the King and GOD’S favor was placed upon him. In most social settings it’s hard not to join the crowd and “Fit In” but just as Daniel did so can we. Today I pray that our faith would be so bold that no one would even consider putting us in the situation that the choice would have to be made ……. 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 ‭3‬ :‭ 12

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. ‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬ :‭ 12‬ NLT

Do you ever feel that you have no one to talk to? No one to take your concerns to? When JESUS CHRIST died on The Cross HE made the way clear for direct communication with GOD. Today I pray that we all would be in direct communication with GOD in all areas, that we would lay our problems down and hand them over to The LORD ….. 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

WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what HE will do. | LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26, ISAIAH 40 : 31, PSALM 16 : 11

“WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what HE will do. It entails trusting THE LORD with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself. Waiting on GOD is the way HE designed you to live: all day, every day. GOD created you to stay conscious of HIM as you go about your daily duties. The LORD has promised many blessings to those who wait on HIM : renewed strength, living above one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of HIS continual Presence. Waiting on GOD enables you to glorify HIM by living in deep dependence on HIM, ready to do GOD’S will. It also helps you to enjoy The LORD ; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy.” 

Scripture

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26 

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 31 

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to trust you with every fiber of my being and depend on you moment by moment. Teach me to stay conscious of Your Presence, surrendering my need to figure everything out and put my trust and hope in your  will and plan. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1 : 19‬

“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1 : 19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to GOD? I see so many Christians that let the world’s circumstances destroy their Faith in The LORD. The Bible tells us that GOD is there through ALL!  Not some! Today’s prayer is that we would ALWAYS trust in The LORD no matter what the circumstance is ……… 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 THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. | 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

“LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. A thankful mind-set keeps you in touch with GOD. GOD hates it when HIS children grumble, casually despising HIS sovereignty. Thankfulness is a safeguard against this deadly sin. Furthermore, a grateful attitude becomes a grid through which you perceive life. Gratitude enables you to see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining on all your circumstances. Cultivate a thankful heart, for this glorifies GOD and fills you with Joy.”

Scripture

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10 

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to let thankfulness temper all my thoughts and let thankfulness be the grid through which I perceive life. Thank you for the breath in my lungs, a warm bed to sleep in, and a Heavenly Father who thought I was to die for. Amen.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭9 : 11 – 18

“The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.” But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭9 : 11 – 18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Has GOD ever spoken to you to do something for HIM but you were too afraid? Ananias was also scared to death to fulfill the request of The LORD but trusted HE would keep him safe. This scripture is so important in so many ways. 1. It shows that The LORD is asking for us to fulfill a mission 2. That HE will empower us and equip us with the tools. 3. That the task The LORD is asking of us will change the world for many. Today’s prayer is that we would trust that GOD will handle what HE requests from us and we would answer the call ……. Be Blessed

THIS IS A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU MUST LEARN TO LET GO: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. | PSALM 89 : 15, HEBREWS 13 : 8, ISAIAH 41 : 13

“THIS IS A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU MUST LEARN TO LET GO: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. In order to let go of something that is precious to you, you need to rest in GOD’S Presence, where you are complete. Take time to bask in the Light of GOD’S Love. As you relax more and more, your grasping hand gradually opens up, releasing your prized possession into The LORD’S care. You can feel secure, even in the midst of cataclysmic changes, through awareness of The LORD’S continual Presence. The One who never leaves you is the same One who never changes: GOD is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As you release more and more things into HIS care, remember that GOD never lets go of your hand. Herein lies your security, which no one and no circumstance can take from you.”

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13 : 8 

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13

Prayer: God, You give me so many precious promises. There is such comfort in knowing you never change, and you never leave me. Help me to spend time in your presence, resting and releasing loved ones, possessions, work, and worries into your care. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 21‬

​And his name will be the hope of all the world.”  ‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 21‬ NLT

Isaiah spoke plain and clear about JESUS CHRIST in this prophecy. What are you hoping for? Who have you put your hope in? Today’s prayer is that we all would remember who we put our trust in, we put our trust in JESUS CHRIST the hope of the world, so when the waters get rough remember this scripture …… Be Blessed

THE LORD IS GOD of both intricate detail and overflowing abundance. | PSALM 36 : 7 – 9, PSALM 132 : 15, JOHN 6 : 12 – 13

“THE LORD IS GOD of both intricate detail and overflowing abundance. When you entrust the details of your life to GOD, you are surprised by how thoroughly HE answers your petitions. GOD takes pleasure in hearing your prayers, so feel free to bring The LORD all your requests. The more you pray, the more answers you can receive. Best of all, your faith is strengthened as you see how precisely GOD responds to your specific prayers. Because GOD is infinite in all HIS ways, you need not fear that The LORD will run out of resources. Abundance is at the very heart of who GOD is. Come to The LORD in joyful expectation of receiving all you need — and sometimes much more! GOD delights in showering blessings on HIS beloved children. Come to GOD with open hands and heart, ready to receive all GOD has for you.”

Scripture

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 7 – 9 

I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor will I satisfy with food. PSALM 132 : 15 

When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. JOHN 6 : 12 – 13

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I entrust every detail of my life to you. Thank you for caring about every detail of my life. I come to you with open hands and an open heart, ready to receive what you have for me. For your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34‬

“Righteousness makes a nation great; sin is a disgrace to any nation.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14 : 34‬ ‭GNT‬‬

It’s time for America to wake up!!! We see all the horrible things daily on the news and maybe even with our own eyes, could it be because America has turned away from GOD? I believe so. Today’s prayer is that as Christians we would pray that the Nation would repent and turn back to GOD so that HE will have HIS hand upon America again ……. Be Blessed
