Romans‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭15 ‬- ‭20‬

“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. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.” Romans‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭15 ‬- ‭20‬ ‭

We all want to do right but do wrong!!! This is human nature!!! Sin was in us at birth and we battle it everyday! Paul says I want to do what’s right but do what’s wrong, sound familiar? Today’s prayer is that we let the Holy Spirit convict us of our wrong and help us do what’s right ….. Be Blessed and pray for the help

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 CREATING something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. – JOHN 3 : 8, GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23 A

https://youtu.be/B-q-L2dP4wc

“GOD IS CREATING something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. Do not mistake this Joy for your own or try to take credit for it in any way. Instead, watch in delight as GOD’S Holy Spirit flows through you to bless others. Let yourself become a reservoir of the Spirit’s fruit. Your part is to live close to GOD, open to all that The LORD is doing in you. Don’t try to control the streaming of GOD’S Holy Spirit through you. Just keep focusing on GOD as we walk through this day together. Enjoy The LORD’S Presence, which permeates you with Love, Joy, and Peace.”

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” JOHN 3 : 8 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23 A 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for the new work You’re doing in me—a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. I know it’s not my own strength, but Your Holy Spirit flowing through me. Help me stay close to You today, open and surrendered, so Your Love, Joy, and Peace can overflow into every moment. Amen.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬

“However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture reminds us that no matter how bad things seem, no matter how much we don’t see it happening God is always preparing the best for those who love him. Today’s prayer is that through the trials we would see triumph and through all we would praise the Lord of Lords …. Be Blessed

Revelation‬ ‭4 : 11‬

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4 : 11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We all have things we value! But do we worship them? The material things we have are just that Material. Today’s prayer is that we would worship only one the true all mighty God ……Be Blessed

James 1 : 19 – 20

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1 : 19 – 20 NKJV

Boy is this one needed in all of our lives, have you heard the saying “God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason”? I believe this is the scripture it is based on. Everyone wants to jump to conclusions or assume the worst of every situation, shoot first then ask questions, this scripture is telling us to really process a situation before we come to our decision, and then when we come to that conclusion approach it in a Godly manner. Today I would pray that we all would put this approach into our lives and that the spirit of God would help us to obtain it ……… 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 HELP YOU get through this day. – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, LUKE 1 : 79

https://youtu.be/-8TfcmZSQ1s

“LET GOD HELP YOU get through this day. There are many possible paths to travel between getting up in the morning and lying down at night. Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of GOD’S Presence. You will get through this day one way or the other. One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet. This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with THE LORD along the path of Peace, leaning on HIM as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in GOD’S strength. Thank GOD for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how The LORD transforms trials into blessings.”

Scripture

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

“. . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus Christ, thank You for walking with me through today. Help me stay aware of Your Presence and choose the path of Peace, not frustration. When I face challenges, remind me to lean on Your strength instead of my own. Give me eyes to see how You are working, even in the hard things. Walk with me, Lord—I need You every step. Amen.

Colossians‬ ‭2 : 14 – 15‬

“having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2 : 14 – 15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Let the redeemed of The LORD say so!!!! This scripture is so comforting. The law of Moses required you to do good to get good, and if you do bad you get bad, thank you LORD for the cross!!! Although the law was perfect and Holy “News Flash” none of us are and GOD knew this therefore, from the beginning Jesus Christ was. Today’s prayer is that we receive we are righteous by the blood of the lamb and forever redeemed by the cross ……. In Jesus name 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

​TRUST GOD and don’t be afraid, for GOD is your Strength and Song. – ISAIAH 12 : 2, ROMANS 8 : 6

https://youtu.be/aAyqDO0D5M8

“TRUST GOD and don’t be afraid, for GOD is your Strength and Song. Do not let fear dissipate your energy. Instead, invest your energy in trusting The LORD and singing HIS Song. The battle for control of your mind is fierce, and years of worry have made you vulnerable to the enemy. Therefore, you need to be vigilant in guarding your thoughts. Do not despise this weakness in yourself, since GOD is using it to draw you closer to HIM. Your constant need for GOD creates an intimacy that is well worth all the effort. You are not alone in this struggle for your mind. The LORD’S Holy Spirit living within you is ever ready to help in this striving. Ask GOD to control your mind; The LORD will bless you with Life and Peace.”

Scripture

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2 

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, I choose to trust You and not be afraid. You are my Strength and my Song. When fear tries to drain me, help me use that energy instead to lean into You. My thoughts often run wild, but I invite Your Spirit to take control of my mind. Train me to guard my thoughts and to depend on You daily. I thank You for using even my weaknesses to pull me closer. Fill me with Your peace and remind me I am never alone in this battle. Amen.

We may miss the mark daily but GOD knows our heart, what condition is it in? Today’s prayer is that we would all draw nearer to GOD and strengthen our relationship with Him …… Be Blessed

REST IN GOD, YOU ARE HIS CHILD.  – 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17, PSALM 62 : 5

https://youtu.be/qu5Z6ya-cRQ

“REST IN GOD, YOU ARE HIS CHILD. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking GOD’S Holy Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with GOD. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don’t even feel the strong grip of GOD’S hand holding yours. GOD’S child, how foolish you are! Remembrance of GOD is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of The LORD’S Presence with you. This will keep you resting in GOD all day, every day.”

Scripture

Pray continually. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 17 

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. PSALM 62 : 5

Prayer

Prayer:  Holy Spirit, take charge of the details of my day today. Help me to rest in you, knowing you have every detail covered. No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together and I need only to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
