COME TO GOD AND REST. – MATTHEW 7 : 1, JOHN 17 : 3, ROMANS 9 : 20 – 21, 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15

https://youtu.be/yMnaeZbgbf4

“COME TO GOD AND REST. Give your mind a break from its habitual judging. You form judgments about this situation, that situation, this person, that person, yourself, even the weather—as if judging were your main function in life. But GOD created you first and foremost to know HIM and to live in rich communication with HIM. When you become preoccupied with passing judgment, you usurp GOD’S role. Relate to GOD as creature to Creator, sheep to Shepherd, subject to King, clay to Potter. Allow GOD to have HIS way in your life. Rather than evaluating GOD’S ways with you, accept them thankfully. The intimacy The LORD offers you is not an invitation to act as if you were HIS equal. Worship GOD as King of kings while walking hand in hand with The LORD down the path of Life.”

Scripture

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” MATTHEW 7 : 1

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. JOHN 17 : 3

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? ROMANS 9 : 20 – 21

. . . which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 1 TIMOTHY 6 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, you are King of Kings, Lord of Lords. I come to worship you for who you are, what you’ve done, and for what you are doing and going to do in my life. Thank you for adopting me into your family and walking hand in hand with me through life. Your grateful child. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭3:2-5‬

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3:2-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are the words you’re speaking into people’s lives edifying or damning? From the ” good morning” to the “what’s wrong with you idiot”. James speaks clearly about the power of the tongue in this scripture just how powerful one little word can affect someone. Today’s prayer is that we would all let God put a bit in our mouths or a rudder on our tongue, that we would edify people no matter how we feel. When someone wrongs you hand it over to God and bite down on that bit……..Be Blessed and tell someone “Good Morning”

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

RECEIVE GOD’S PEACE. – JOHN 14 : 27, ISAIAH 30 : 15, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 4

https://youtu.be/LAQfS80YESg

“RECEIVE GOD’S PEACE. It is GOD’S continual gift to you. The best way to receive this gift is to sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, trusting HIM in every area of your life. Quietness and trust accomplish far more than you can imagine: not only in you, but also on earth and in heaven. When you trust GOD in a given area, you release that problem or person into HIS care. Spending time alone with GOD can be a difficult discipline, because it goes against the activity addiction of this age. You may appear to be doing nothing, but actually you are participating in battles going on within spiritual realms. You are waging war—not with the weapons of the world, but with heavenly weapons, which have divine power to demolish strongholds. Living close to GOD is a sure defense against evil.”

Scripture

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I want to receive your peace by sitting still and quiet in your presence, allowing your peace to permeate every inch of my being. When I do, I am waging war against spiritual battles with spiritual weapons. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭17:1

“Hear me, Lord, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭17:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are your prayers just? Is your prayer so transparent that there is such naked truth? This Psalm is a pure plea from a pure heart, as our prayers should be. I believe some prayers are self instead of correction/deliverance. Today’s prayer is pure from my heart. I pray that we all would speak to God with a pure transparent heart! That we would be stripped down naked and totally innocent of what we want!!! God is just and God always answers our prayers if they are truly needed……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

REJOICE IN GOD ALWAYS! – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4,12, PSALM 102 : 27

https://youtu.be/XuTTrlEHSNU

“REJOICE IN GOD ALWAYS! No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your Love-relationship with GOD. This is the secret of being content in all circumstances. So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy: when they are out of debt, when their children are out of trouble, when they have more leisure time, and so on. While they daydream, their moments are trickling into the ground like precious balm spilling wastefully from overturned bottles. Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality. Even though The LORD is invisible, GOD is far more Real than the world you see around you. The LORD’S reality is eternal and unchanging. Bring your moments to GOD, and HE will fill them with vibrant Joy. Now is the time to rejoice in GOD’S Presence!”

Scripture

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! . . . I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4,12

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord teach me to live in the present moment, appreciating the blessings you’ve given me. Whether I am in need or have plenty, help to be content and grateful. And please be with and comfort the families who lost loved ones on 09/11/01. We remember. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭17:18-20‬

“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17:18-20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Have you ever had a moment where you have no doubt that you can handle the situation? That you are 100% sure you can get it done? That my friends is having faith in yourself, Do you have that same faith in Jesus? Today’s prayer is that we would know that through the blood of Christ we can overcome anything!!! Any stronghold, depression, or any other thing that takes hold of you. Put all of your trust in Jesus and see that with his guidance you can overcome all things………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

John‬ ‭3:11

“Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.” John‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It is hard for some to understand your testimony, especially those who do not know the Lord. We all have our individual God story and that is for a reason, we all are called differently. Today’s prayer is that we would stay strong to our testimony to witness people to Jesus and he will do the rest…….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

Psalm‬ ‭4:8‬

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you know that feeling when you have complete serene peace? That complete feeling of safety? That complete feeling of joy? That is when you are completely in Jesus!!! Our salvation should always bring us peace,safety, and joy. Today I pray that we all would take our right place in Jesus the author and finisher of our faith……..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

ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. – PSALM 42 : 5, 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4, JEREMIAH 31 : 25

https://youtu.be/eEFChfZX748

“ACCEPT EACH DAY exactly as it comes to you. By that, GOD means not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust GOD absolutely, resting in The LORD’S sovereignty and faithfulness. On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem far greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives—giving up or relying on GOD. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, GOD will not reject you. You can turn to The LORD at any point, and GOD will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. GOD will infuse HIS strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust The LORD, by relying on HIS empowering Presence.”

Scripture

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior. . . . PSALM 42 : 5

For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you. 2 CORINTHIANS 13 : 4

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” JEREMIAH 31 : 25

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you absolutely, resting and relying on your sovereignty and faithfulness. Give me the exact amount of strength I need for today to do your will. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Acts‬ ‭3:19

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” Acts‬ ‭3:19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Repentance is to truly change your way! Are you in need of change? Is your walk with Jesus lacking relationship? Well there is good news REPENTANCE!!!!!! To repent is to change direction and head back in the correct way. The beauty of our God is he is forgiving and we all miss the mark daily and need forgiveness. Today’s prayer is that we would repent and ask God to change our ways, he is just and full of forgiveness……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
