Ephesians‬ ‭4:26‬

““In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things in the world to do when you are not in constant communication with God, when you are not meditating daily in his word. When you are in continual prayer forgiveness becomes much easier, just think if God would not have sent his Son in the place of our sin!!! Devastating. Today’s prayer is that we would never end our day with anger in our hearts or anything against someone, forgive as you have been forgiven……..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

Jude‬ ‭1 : 24 – 25

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1 : 24 – 25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We tend to take all the glory when we achieve something, Jesus gave us the chance to live through his loving sacrifice so how can we not give him the glory? To be self righteous is to be distant from God. Today’s prayer is that we would give glory to God in all situations, even though we play a big part in our achievements, Jesus played a bigger part by laying his life down for us so that we may live…….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

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings. – PSALM 105 : 4, PSALM 19 : 1 – 2, ISAIAH 60 : 2

https://youtu.be/Bj1efvzN7jY

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings. GOD’S world is filled with beautiful things; they are meant to be pointers to The LORD, reminders of HIS abiding Presence. The earth still declares GOD’S Glory to those who have eyes that see and ears that hear. You had a darkened mind before you sought The LORD wholeheartedly. GOD chooses to pour HIS Light into you, so that you can be a beacon to others. There is no room for pride in this position. Your part is to reflect GOD’S Glory. HE is The Lord!”

Scripture

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. PSALM 19 : 1 – 2

See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. ISAIAH 60 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I seek your face today and find fulfillment for my deepest longings. Open my eyes to see the beauty of your world – sunrises, the moon and stars, and each animal I see and hear as reminders of you and your abiding presence. 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 of the image of Jesus ……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

RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, Holy Presence. – PSALM 46 : 10, 1 JOHN 3 : 2

https://youtu.be/ulAuv0l1zb4

RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING, Holy Presence. Be still, while GOD transforms your heart and mind. Let go of cares and worries, so that you can receive The LORD’S Peace. Cease striving, and know that The LORD IS GOD. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of GOD. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on The LORD. It is through knowing The LORD intimately that you become like HIM. This requires spending time alone with GOD. Let go, relax, be still, and know that The LORD is GOD.

Scripture

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! PSALM 46 : 10 (NKJV)

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 1 JOHN 3 : 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I want to know you intimately. Help me to spend time in your word and be still in your presence while you transform my heart and mind. Align my heart’s desires with yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭3 : 20 – 24

“For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3 : 20 – 24‬ ‭

This is the best scripture for Christians who want World and God!!!! If we want to use Grace as a license to live in sin we are wrong! If we want to live a life of all Law we are wrong! Jesus went to the cross for all sin past, present and future, but he did not go to the cross so we could use it as an excuse to live a life of whatever we want. Today’s prayer is that we would live a life that is pleasing to God, we all fall short and miss the mark all day long but our hearts tell God the true story, what’s your story? 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

REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE in a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. – EXODUS 20 : 3, PSALM 37 : 4

https://youtu.be/Uji3bKk23Sk

“REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE in a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except GOD. That is why closeness to GOD satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with Joy. GOD has planted longing for perfection in every human heart. This is a good desire, which The LORD alone can fulfill. But most people seek this fulfillment in other people and earthly pleasures or achievements. Thus they create idols, before which they bow down. GOD will have no other gods before HIM! Make GOD the deepest desire of your heart. Let GOD fulfill your yearning for perfection.”

Scripture

“You shall have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20 : 3

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to remember there is nothing perfect in this world except you and closeness to you satisfies my deepest yearning and fills me with joy. I want no other god to come before you, show me any area of my life I’m putting before you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬ : ‭17‬

“But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬ : ‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Weapons are not just guns!!! The tongue is one of the most powerful weapons we have!!! Today’s prayer is that in a world so broken from all sides we would trust in the Lord with all we have, and unload that weapon you have, the tongue…….Speak life and 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 WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. – 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16, 1 JOHN 4 : 18

https://youtu.be/Vdj-AWzdMVE

“GOD WANTS TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being. When your focus is firmly on GOD, HIS Peace displaces fears and worries. These feelings will encircle you, seeking entrance, so you must stay alert. Let trust and thankfulness stand guard, turning back fear before it can gain a foothold. There is no fear in The LORD’S Love, which shines on you continually. Sit quietly in GOD’S Love-Light, while HE blesses you with radiant Peace. Turn your whole being to trusting and loving GOD.”

Scripture

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I want to make you central in my life. Show me any area of my life I need to surrender to you. Help me to make time to sit quietly with you while you fill me with your peace and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Isaiah‬ ‭29 : 13

“And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

How’s your heart? Is it close to God or far away? Confessing that you are a Christian is one thing but truly honoring God with your heart is the worship he wants. Today’s prayer is that we would be so close to God that we can’t help but show people what being a Christian is all about giving, caring, helping are just a few things that pleases God…….Be Blessed and always be a Blessing

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
