Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-14‬ NIV

There are so many that have chosen the broad gate, in their mind it is easier living a life of quote freedom, no rules, being there own person. Jesus speaks of that road leading to destruction. Today’s prayer is that all would understand that the narrow road gives you the true meaning of freedom! The total lack of condemnation. The road to heaven is the easy road, there will be test and trials but we have the ultimate tour guide when we choose this path……..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

Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4-7

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4-7‬ NIV

Are you praying for a family member, friend, co-worker ? God hears your prayer and that one person is as important to the Lord as any other soul. The parable of the lost sheep reveals to us just how important every soul on earth is to our Father in Heaven. Today I boldly pray that God would grace us with the strength to overcome the adversity of the things of this world and boldly witness the joy that comes from making Jesus your Lord and Savior……..

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

TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. – PSALM 34 : 8, GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14, JOHN 20 : 19, COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

“TASTE AND SEE THAT GOD IS GOOD. The more intimately you experience GOD, the more convinced you become of HIS goodness. GOD is the Living One who sees you and longs to participate in your life. The LORD is training you to find HIM in each moment and to be a channel of HIS loving Presence. Sometimes GOD’S blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know The LORD’s goodness only through your trust in GOD. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to GOD. Thank The LORD for the gift of HIS Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When CHRIST, The LORD appeared to HIS disciples after the resurrection, it was Peace that JESUS CHRIST communicated first of all. JESUS, The LORD knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. GOD also speaks Peace to you, for The LORD knows your anxious thoughts. Listen to GOD! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear GOD more clearly. GOD designed you to dwell in Peace all day, every day. Draw near to The LORD; receive GOD’S Peace.”

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. PSALM 34 : 8

So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. GENESIS 16 : 13 – 14

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” JOHN 20 : 19

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Prayer: Lord thank you for designing me to dwell in peace, all day everyday. Help me to tune out other voices, so I can hear you more clearly. To slow down, to sit in your presence, and to appreciate your blessings all around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:1-3

“I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

David was known to be a man after God’s heart. Are you? This Psalm is beautiful in so many ways and covers a multitude of areas. Today’s prayer is that we would pray this daily for God is our hope in darkness, our strength in weakness, our “be there in everything”…… 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 IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. – PROVERBS 3 : 5, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, JEREMIAH 29 : 13 – 14

“GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU. Trust GOD at all times. Trust GOD in all circumstances. Trust GOD with all your heart. When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: “I trust You, Jesus.” By doing so, you release matters into The LORD’S control, and you fall back into the security of CHRIST, The LORD’s everlasting arms. Before you arise from your bed in the morning, GOD has already arranged the events of your day. Every day provides many opportunities for you to learn GOD’S ways and grow closer to HIM. Signs of GOD’S Presence brighten even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see. Search for The LORD as for hidden treasure. GOD will be found by you.”

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13 – 14

Prayer: God thank you for taking care of me and arranging every detail of my day before I even rise. Open my eyes to see the opportunities to love and blessings all around me. I trust you Jesus. Lead the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-18

“Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Are you praising God in troublesome times? Or are you only praising him in the good times? God is always there and he is always faithful!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would praise God in everything we do at all times…….Be Blessed

STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. – ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1, JOHN 16 : 33

“STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask GOD whether or not it is part of today’s agenda. If it isn’t, release it into The LORD’S care and go on about today’s duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time. A life lived close to GOD is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on GOD’S Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that CHRIST, The LORD has overcome the world. The LORD has told you these things, so that in HIM you may have Peace.”

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. ECCLESIASTES 3 : 1

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer: God help me to ask you when something on my mind is for today’s agenda. And if not, help me release it to you and let it go. A life lived close to you is not complicated or cluttered. Though the world is messy and confusing, I tuck myself in your sweet presence where life is simple and all is well with my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2

As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1-2‬ NLT

Is today that day? Do you have a friend or loved one that doesn’t know The Lord ? We’ll today is that day. We as Christians can not save people, but be used as a conduit for God to reach the unsaved. Our job is to witness by our actions, the love we show, and not only what we do when others are watching, but when they’re not. God has a use for each and everyone of us!!!! Ask him to show you. Today I pray that we would boldly witness to all that are unsaved and on a road to destruction and make today that day for someone……In Jesus name…….be blessed

CHRIST, THE LORD IS A GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. – PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17, MARK 10 : 15, ISAIAH 26 : 3

“CHRIST, THE LORD IS A GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. When JESUS CHRIST, The LORD died for you on the cross, HE held back nothing; JESUS CHRIST poured out HIS Life like a drink offering. Because giving is inherent in The LORD’s nature, GOD searches for people who are able to receive in full measure. To increase your intimacy with GOD, the two traits you need the most are receptivity and attentiveness. Receptivity is opening up your innermost being to be filled with The LORD’S abundant riches. Attentiveness is directing your gaze to GOD: searching for GOD in all your moments. It is possible to stay your mind on The LORD, as the prophet Isaiah wrote. Through such attentiveness you receive a glorious gift: GOD’S perfect Peace.”

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17

“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” MARK 10 : 15

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord ,thank you for your extravagant generosity. Help me to be more like Jesus this week, to be open to whatever and wherever you lead, and attentive to your voice and leading. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ NLT

Are you struggling with your daily walk with Jesus ? You know what type of life you are called to live but it seems that you can’t do it? Check your surroundings and the company you keep. Paul says we died with Christ and were raised with him in a new life, that means NEW not the same as it was. The devil wants to continue to remind you of your past, but Jesus only wants you to think of the now and future. Today I pray that we all would give our surroundings a self check and let the spirit of The Lord guide us…….Be Blessed
