Colossians‬ ‭1:10

“Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:10‬

Spiritual growth is a must as Christians!!! To stay as a babe in the Lord will lead to regression. The Lord has left us not only the Holy Spirit but also an instruction manual. Today’s prayer is we would all grow into the Lord’s way and bring him honor everyday……..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

AS YOU LOOK at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. – PSALM 73 : 23 – 24, 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12

“AS YOU LOOK at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the One who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall GOD’S promise to guide you with HIS counsel, and you begin to relax. As you look again at the path ahead, you notice that a peaceful fog has settled over it, obscuring your view. You can see only a few steps in front of you, so you turn your attention more fully to GOD and begin to enjoy HIS Presence. The fog is a protection for you, calling you back into the present moment. Although GOD inhabits all of space and time, you can communicate with GOD only here and now. Someday the fog will no longer be necessary, for you will have learned to keep your focus on GOD and on the path just ahead of you.”

Scripture

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. PSALM 73 : 23 – 24

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12

Prayer

Prayer: Lord when all I can see is a twisted and complicated path up ahead, gently remind me of your promises to hold me by my right hand, to guide me with your counsel, and hold onto the hope that one day you will take me home to be with you for eternity where there will be only clear paths on streets of gold. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭1:18-20

“But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:18-20‬

I believe the only thing God hates is Sin!!! God is love but sin is hate and that contradicts love! To live a life that is pleasing to God is to do your best to follow his ways! Love all, treat all with respect, be kind to all rich, poor, those who have different beliefs, etc!!!! God created all and his command is to love not hate! Today’s prayer is we would all try to please God in all our actions! We will fall short and that’s where his love comes in, but that doesn’t mean we can stop trying!!!! Love all, treat all as Jesus did…… 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

APPROACH PROBLEMS with a light touch. – PSALM 89 : 15, JOHN 16 : 33

“APPROACH PROBLEMS with a light touch. When your mind moves toward a problem area, you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of GOD. You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious. Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated. There is a better way. When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this matter to GOD. Talk with The LORD about it and look at it in the Light of HIS Presence. This puts some much-needed space between you and your concern, enabling you to see from GOD’S perspective. You will be surprised at the results. Sometimes you may even laugh at yourself for being so serious about something so insignificant. You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have The LORD with you, helping you to handle whatever you encounter. Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them in GOD’S revealing Light.”

Scripture

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

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me not to be surprised or frustrated when I have trouble in this life. And help me never lose sight of the victory you’ve already won. The end is already written. Help me to talk with you about my light and momentary troubles and surrender them into your capable hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬

Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ NLT

A person is defined by what they have in life, where they live, where they work, and what their annual income is, but Solomon says it is better to have fear of The Lord than have great treasure. To have fear for The Lord is to know he is almighty, to fear turning from him or to displease him with our actions as believers. Our goal as Christians should be to fear living against God’s word. Today I pray we would have a all new fear in living against God’s word, and live up to his word with all we have…….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

BASK IN THE LUXURY of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. – PSALM 34 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18, GALATIANS 5 : 25

“BASK IN THE LUXURY of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. Dare to see yourself as GOD sees you: radiant in HIS righteousness, cleansed by HIS blood. The LORD views you as the one HE created you to be, the one you will be in actuality when heaven becomes your home. It is The LORD’S Life within you that is changing you from glory to glory. Rejoice in this mysterious miracle! Thank GOD continually for the amazing gift of HIS Holy Spirit within you. Try to depend on the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit as you go through this day of life. Pause briefly from time to time so you can consult with this Holy One inside you. GOD will not force you to do His bidding, but GOD will guide you as you give Him space in your life. Walk along this wondrous way of collaboration with The LORD’S Holy Spirit.”

Scripture

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. PSALM 34 : 5

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. GALATIANS 5 : 25

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to depend on your Holy Spirit more today than I did yesterday. To pause to consult with Him before making a decision so I can do your will. Holy Spirit control my thoughts, my words, and my actions today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. ‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ NLT

As Christians we have nothing to hide!!! Are you hiding something? In the Old Testament only the high priest could enter the most Holy place behind the veil, when Jesus died on the cross he tore that veil from top to bottom so that we could boldly enter God’s presence. The removal of the veil made us into the image of the Lord……Today I pray that as believers that we never cover ourselves again, that we would be bold for Christ who so graciously gave his life for us, that we would be a reflection to all the image of Jesus ……Be Blessed

GOD IS CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. – COLOSSIANS 1 : 27, ISAIAH 42 : 6, NEHEMIAH 8 : 10, ROMANS 15 : 13

“GOD IS CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you. This is a deep, unfathomable mystery. You and GOD are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being. The Light of The LORD’S Presence shines within you, as well as upon you. The LORD is in you, and you are in HIM; therefore, nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from GOD! As you sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, your awareness of HIS Life within you is heightened. This produces the Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. Christ The LORD, the God of hope, fills you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in HIM, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Scripture

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles.” ISAIAH 42 : 6

“Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” NEHEMIAH 8 : 10

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. 
 ROMANS 15 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: God you are amazing. You go before me and behind me and beside me and you live in me. Nothing can separate me from your great love. As I spend time with you, fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you and overflow with hope by the power of The Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭6:9‬

“The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Are you praying for a miracle? Has that miracle not shown up? Hold strong to God’s word he hears your prayers and when the time is right they will be answered. Today’s prayer is we would stand on God’s word and have patience for our answered prayers…….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

2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:4-5

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:4-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As Christians we know what is in line with God’s word, we know the difference between wrong and right in God’s eyes. Are we rewriting his words to fit our needs? The Bible gives us instruction on how to be the example of Christ, although temptation is all around from the worldly standard, our spirit knows how to combat that temptation. Today’s prayer is that we would be so strong in God’s word that there would be no chance to twist it in any way………Be Blessed and Pray hard
