Genesis‬ ‭4 : 3 – 7‬

“And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. Abel also brought from the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4 : 3 – 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I believe this scripture is essential for all of us. Cain brought the least and Able brought the first, the best, the deserving of the Lord! Are you giving God your best or just the leftovers? Today’s prayers are that we would always give God our best, our 100% be faithful to God because he is always faithful to us …….. 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

BE WILLING to go out on a limb with GOD. | PSALM 23 : 4, PSALM 9 : 10, JOHN 12 : 26

https://youtu.be/CH1bckvtkxI

“BE WILLING to go out on a limb with GOD. If that is where GOD is leading you, it is the safest place to be. Your desire to live a risk – free life is a form of unbelief. Your longing to live close to GOD is at odds with your attempts to minimize risk. You are approaching a crossroads in your journey. In order to follow GOD wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your tendency to play it safe. Let The LORD lead you step by step through this day. If your primary focus is on GOD, you can walk along perilous paths without being afraid. Eventually, you will learn to relax and enjoy the adventure of your journey together. As long as you stay close to The LORD, HIS sovereign Presence protects you wherever you go.” 

Scripture

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4 

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. PSALM 9 : 10 

Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. JOHN 12 : 26

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to follow you wholeheartedly, and surrender my ways for your ways. You know what’s best for me, I trust you Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1 : 24 – 25‬ ‭

“For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1 : 24 – 25‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This is TRUTH!!!! Sometimes we value more of how we are perceived than who we really are. We are children of the most high GOD , the true living GOD and HIS opinion of us is perfection. Today’s prayer is that we would realize only GOD’S opinion matters HIS promise is to never leave or forsake us …….. 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 :1 7

YOUR NEEDS AND GOD’S RICHES are a perfect fit. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

https://youtu.be/hnTZHg0l53w

“YOUR NEEDS AND GOD’S RICHES are a perfect fit. GOD never meant for you to be self-sufficient. Instead, GOD designed you to need HIM not only for daily bread but also for fulfillment of deep yearnings. GOD carefully crafted your longings and feelings of incompleteness, to point you to HIM. Therefore, do not try to bury or deny these feelings. Beware also of trying to pacify these longings with lesser gods: people, possessions, power. Come to GOD in all your neediness, with defenses down and with desire to be blessed. As you spend time in GOD’S Presence, your deepest longings are fulfilled. Rejoice in your neediness, which enables you to find intimate completion in GOD.”

Scripture

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19 

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. COLOSSIANS 2 : 2 – 3

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I need you for my daily bread and to fulfill my deepest longings. Thank you for my neediness because it points me to you. In you I find completion, peace, and fullness of joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 17‬ – ‭18‬

“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans‬ ‭12‬ :‭ 17‬ – ‭18‬ ‭

This is a tough one! If you live in the natural world you will always respond with anger, vengeance, and the attitude of the world, if you live by The Holy Spirit your response will be of GOD. Today’s prayer is when someone wrongs us or talks about us we would humble ourselves and let the light shine! Meekness is not weakness!!! It’s the strength of 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

LET GOD’S PRESENCE override everything you experience. | PSALM 31 : 20, GENESIS 28 : 11 – 16

https://youtu.be/ZI1ZVS5okc0

“LET GOD’S PRESENCE override everything you experience. Like a luminous veil of Light, GOD hovers over you and everything around you. GOD is training you to stay conscious of HIM in each situation you encounter. When the patriarch Jacob ran away from his enraged brother, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed desolate. But after dreaming about heaven and angels and promises of GOD’S Presence, he awoke and exclaimed: “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” His discovery was not only for him but for all who seek GOD. Whenever you feel distant from GOD, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!” Then, ask The LORD to give you awareness of HIS Presence. This is a prayer that GOD delights to answer.”

Scripture

In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues. PSALM 31 : 20 

When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the LORD, and he said: “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” GENESIS 28 : 11 – 16

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for being in this place, no matter where I am, there you are. Thank you for always being there, always guiding, always watching over me. “Surely the Lord is in this place!” In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭Romans‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 31 – 32

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? ‭Romans‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 31 – 32‬ NLT

Are you waiting on some type of favor? Advancement? But it seems like it just won’t happen? This scripture tells us that GOD is always for us, that special something you are wanting may not be what GOD wants for you! Maybe HE has something bigger and better. Today I pray that we would all wait patiently on GOD’S will for our lives no matter how much we want something ….. Be Blessed

Philippians 4 : 8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4 : 8 NKJV

What kind of things are you meditating on? Things that are positive or things that are negative?. It’s so important that we as believers meditate on the things of GOD and not of the world. There is a saying ” a little bit never hurt anyone” this statement is straight from the devil!!!! If you try a little and like it then it becomes a lot. Today I pray that we would all meditate on The Word of GOD and let our spirits be lifted ……… 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 ‭1 : 5 – 6‬

    “For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1 : 5 – 6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    Are you suffering? Is there something that has created a massive amount of stress? Well take heart its temporary. Have you ever wondered why GOD would let us suffer? Maybe because it gives us clear thinking and makes us stronger? GOD sent HIS Son – JESUS CHRIST to The Cross but that did not hold HIM down, HE overcame the grave and that same person lives on the inside of each one of us! Today’s prayer is that we would take hold of each suffering we endure and thank GOD that HE will make a way out of it, this life is temporary but heaven is eternal …….. 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’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways GOD’S ways | ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9, COLOSSIANS 4 : 2, PSALM 116 : 17

    https://youtu.be/SRLirswqWzc

    “GOD’S THOUGHTS are not your thoughts; neither are your ways GOD’S ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’S ways and thoughts higher than yours. Remember who GOD is when you spend time with HIM. Marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with the King of the universe — any time, any place. Never take this amazing privilege for granted! Though GOD is vastly higher and greater than you, GOD is training you to think HIS thoughts. As you spend time in GOD’S Presence, HIS thoughts gradually form in your mind. GOD’S Holy  Spirit is the Director of this process. Sometimes GOD brings Bible verses to mind. Sometimes The LORD enables you to hear HIM “speak” directly to you. These communications strengthen you and prepare you for whatever is before you on your life-path. Take time to listen to GOD’S voice. Through your sacrifice of precious time, GOD blesses you far more than you dare to ask.”

    Scripture

    “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9 

    Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. COLOSSIANS 4 : 2 

    I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. PSALM 116 : 17

    Prayer

    Prayer: Lord help me to spend time sitting in your presence each day. Allowing your thoughts to gradually form in my mind. Help me to prepare my heart to celebrate the birth of Jesus and anticipate the glorious day Jesus comes back again to take us home. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
