Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬ NIV

This scripture lays out a great foundation to live by. To be joyful in hope is to look to our end results in Jesus, to be patient in affliction is to know that without a doubt Jesus will show up to correct the situation, and to be faithful in prayer means to always have an open line of communication with Jesus. Today I pray that we would all use this scripture as a foundation to live our lives by…….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

IT’S ALRIGHT TO BE HUMAN. – DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, 1 PETER 3 : 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

“IT’S ALRIGHT TO BE HUMAN. When your mind wanders while you are praying, don’t be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to GOD. Share a secret smile with The LORD, knowing that HE understands. Rejoice in GOD’S Love for you, which has no limits or conditions. Whisper The LORD’S Name in loving contentment, assured that HE will never leave you or forsake you. Intersperse these peaceful interludes abundantly throughout your day. This practice will enable you to attain a quiet and gentle spirit, which is pleasing to GOD. As you live in close contact with GOD, the Light of HIS Presence filters through you to bless others. Your weakness and woundedness are the openings through which the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines forth. The LORD’s strength and power show themselves most effectively in your weakness.”

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 PETER 3 : 4

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7

But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

Prayer: Pitch a tent over and dwell upon me Lord. Your grace is enough for me. Even when problems arise, I will rely on your power and your strength through Christ in me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms 27:1

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 and trust 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

STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. – PSALM 52 : 8, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

“STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings GOD has hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that GOD is sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust GOD in all situations. Don’t waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment—accepting things exactly as they are— and search for GOD’S way in the midst of those circumstances. Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with The LORD. If you are trusting in GOD consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in The LORD with all your heart and mind.”

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. PSALM 52 : 8

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you in more and more areas of my life. Starting at the present moment, accepting things exactly as they are, and searching for your way in the midst of my circumstance. I trust you Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans 12:1 – 2

beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1 – 2 NKJV

Paul says I bring to you, by the mercies of God. Too many Christians are going to God trying to make him perform by their works, we should be thanking him for his mercy…… Today I pray that we all would renew our minds daily, and embrace God’s mercy for 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

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1‬

“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:1‬ ‭NASB‬‬

You see this at work more than ever today! The media, school, work place, discourage you being a Christian, it’s all about you being your own person. The church is in this state today by not preaching the living word of God!!!!! They’re teaching self, self, self. Today’s prayer is that we would never be deceived by a false doctrine!!!!! If it’s not in God’s written word then it is 100% the opinion of Man……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

SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. – PSALM 27 : 8, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7, JEREMIAH 29 : 13

“SEEK GOD’S FACE, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let GOD displace worry at the center of your being. GOD is like a supersaturated cloud, showering Peace into the pool of your mind. The LORD’S Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive HIS blessings with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify GOD by receiving HIS blessings gratefully. The LORD IS the goal of all your searching. When you seek GOD, you find HIM and are satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, GOD fades into the background of your life. The LORD is still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were alone. Actually, GOD’S Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include The LORD in all your moments. Let nothing dampen your search for The LORD.”

Scripture

When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.” PSALM 27 : 8 (NKJV)

Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 7 (MSG)

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” JEREMIAH 29 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: God you are the goal of all of my searching. You are the only one who can make me whole and fill me with joy and peace. You are the only one Jesus who can make me right with God. The work you did, in my place, on the cross settled it. No more striving to keep the law. It is finished. My eternity is sealed. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ NIV

God’s promise, all of your worries cast upon the Lord, all your sickness cast upon the Lord, all needs in everything cast upon the Lord. This scripture says” He Will” ! Not he might, or he will if you are a certain way, it says he will supply. When Jesus went to the cross he took all the sin of the world, as Christians we have to believe that! Today’s prayer is that when a trial rises up that we would lay it down at the cross and give thanks for all Jesus did…….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 LEADING YOU ALONG THE HIGH ROAD, but there are descents as well as ascents. – JOHN 21 : 19, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17, HABAKKUK 3 : 19

“GOD IS LEADING YOU ALONG THE HIGH ROAD, but there are descents as well as ascents. In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening in brilliant sunlight. Your longing to reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts. Your assignment is to follow GOD, allowing HIM to direct your path. Let the heights beckon you onward, but stay close to GOD. Learn to trust The LORD when things go “wrong.” Disruptions to your routine highlight your dependence on The LORD. Trusting acceptance of trials brings blessings that far outweigh them all. Walk hand in hand with GOD through this day. The LORD has lovingly planned every inch of the way. Trust does not falter when the path becomes rocky and steep. Breathe deep breaths of GOD’S Presence, and hold tightly to HIS hand. Together you can make it!”

Scripture

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” JOHN 21 : 19

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17

The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. HABAKKUK 3 : 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to develop trusting acceptance of trials and learn to walk hand in hand with you through them. Trusting your good plan and process is sufficient for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
