THANK GOD FREQUENTLY as you journey through today. – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18, JAMES 4 : 8, ROMANS 15 : 13

https://youtu.be/PWztDXAl12c

“THANK GOD FREQUENTLY as you journey through today. This practice makes it possible to pray without ceasing, as the apostle Paul taught. If you are serious about learning to pray continually, the best approach is to thank GOD in every situation. These thankful prayers provide a solid foundation on which you can build all your other prayers. Moreover, a grateful attitude makes it easier for you to communicate with The LORD. When your mind is occupied with thanking GOD, you have no time for worrying or complaining. If you practice thankfulness consistently, negative thought patterns will gradually grow weaker and weaker. Draw near to The LORD with a grateful heart, and GOD’S Presence will fill you with Joy and Peace.”

Scripture

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18 (KJV)

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4 : 8

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

Prayer

Prayer: God, I draw near to you today with a grateful heart. Fill me with the fruit of the Spirit today – love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. And may your fruit overflow onto everyone I encounter today. For your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭5 : 10‬

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5 : 10‬ ‭

As believers all of our sins were judged at The Cross! But the second judgement will come before Jesus himself. That judgement will be for what we did as believers, did you just use your salvation as fire insurance? Or did you use your salvation to witness the gospel to all you could? Today’s prayer is that we would all use what God gave us to operate in a way that brings glory to GOD ……. 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

A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18, PSALM 46 : 1

https://youtu.be/6TEPyDWKM58

“A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive your hope. Thankfulness opens you up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral: ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of Love, which enables you to communicate intimately with GOD. A thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in The LORD, your Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations. The LORD is your refuge and strength, an ever-present and well-proved help in trouble.”

Scripture

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. PSALM 46 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord no matter what goes on this week help me to have a thankful mind-set. To praise you on the mountain top and in the valley. May you be my focal point. Help me to be a reflection of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭8 : 4‬

https://youtu.be/ASb3ZXhJN6g

“so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8 : 4‬ ‭NASB‬‬

This scripture is very clear if your eyes are open! The law is not the speed limit or the don’t steal gum from the store!!! It’s God’s law of love. When we “walk in the flesh” it means to love the life we lived before Jesus, but to “walk in the spirit” is to know what’s wrong and right in the eyes of God and follow it. Today’s prayer is to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and walk upright in the eyes of God ……. 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

Psalms 27 : 1

https://youtu.be/PQ0NPXu1cYY

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalms 27 : 1 NKJV

It’s easy to worry or be afraid of certain situations but the Word says “whom shall we fear?”. Fear is not from God faith, trust and love are. Today’s prayer is when a situation arises remember this Psalm and trust in God’s love and protection for you……..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

Job‬ ‭11‬ : ‭13 – 15‬

“If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear.” Job‬ ‭11‬ : ‭13 – 15‬ NLT

Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! Surrender all to God and let His grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own ….. 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

THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. – LUKE 24 : 36, MATTHEW 28 : 20, HEBREWS 13 : 15

https://youtu.be/hPO-gwKOKiA

“THANK GOD THROUGHOUT THIS DAY for HIS Presence and HIS Peace. These are gifts of supernatural proportions. Ever since the resurrection, The LORD has comforted HIS followers with these messages: Peace be with you, and The LORD is with you always. Listen as GOD offers you HIS Peace and Presence in full measure. The best way to receive these glorious gifts is to thank GOD for them. It is impossible to spend too much time thanking and praising GOD. GOD created you first and foremost to glorify HIM. Thanksgiving and praise put you in a proper relationship with GOD, opening the way for GOD’S riches to flow into you. As you thank The LORD for HIS Presence and Peace, you appropriate GOD’S richest gifts.”

Scripture

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” LUKE 24 : 36

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. HEBREWS 13 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your presence and your peace. Every good and perfect gift comes from you. Your purpose for me is to live a rich and satisfying life in Christ for your glory. Help me to do so this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭7‬ : ‭15 ‬- ‭17‬

“I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬ : ‭15 ‬- ‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Oh the sin nature!!! We all try to do what is right in God’s eyes but we fail miserably every day!!! Why? As Paul wrote in this scripture, the sin nature is a part of us at birth, we know what is right but we do the opposite, we know what we want to do with incredible intentions but nope!!! We fail!!! Why? Because we are not close enough to God!!!!! We pray but do we pray like the Pharisees did? Or do we have an open line of communication with God Almighty? Today’s prayer is that we would all draw closer to God, have a personal relationship with Him not a bedtime relationship!!! Draw near to God and watch the sin nature disappear ……. Be Blessed and Bless someone today

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 IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. – EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19, PSALM 62 : 8

https://youtu.be/gM2ypHrhFQA

“GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. Allow yourself to become fully aware of GOD’S pleasure shining upon you. You don’t have to perform well in order to receive THE LORD’S Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from GOD, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don’t measure up to your expectations. Shift your focus from your performance to GOD’S radiant Presence. The Light of GOD’S Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love. Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank GOD for everything; trust in GOD at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to GOD’S loving Presence.”

Scripture

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that I don’t have to perform well to receive your love. Your love is unchangeable. Nothing I do could make you love me more or less. You are my constant rock on which I stand. Teach me to love like you do. Transform my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭31‬ :‭ 14

But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” Psalms‬ ‭31‬ :‭ 14‬ NLT

Trust is a character that is lacking in today’s world, to trust someone is to confide your all to them!!! When you truly understand God’s love for you it’s easy to trust him. Today I pray that we would all put our 100% trust in the Lord and not in the things of the world…….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
