GOD DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM | MARK 8 : 36, PSALM 139 : 13 – 16, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18

https://youtu.be/I51y2JFCHpA

“GOD DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of GOD, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts. Find fulfillment through living close to GOD, yielding to HIS purposes for you. Though The LORD may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that The LORD knows what HE is doing. If you follow GOD wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. GOD knows you intimately —far better than you know yourself. In union with The LORD, you are complete. In closeness to GOD, you are transformed more and more into the one HE designed you to be.”

Scripture

“What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” MARK 8 : 36 

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. PSALM 139 : 13 – 16 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank You for designing me to live in union with You — make that union my deepest joy and strength. Help me yield my independence and follow You wholeheartedly, even along paths that feel unfamiliar. Keep me close to you and transform me to look more like Jesus. Amen.

James‬ ‭1‬ : ‭22‬

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬ : ‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To listen to GOD’S word and stop there is no different than reading a non-fiction novel!! When we read GOD’S Word meditate on the scriptures and let them transform your life. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be built on GOD’S word, and not only hear it but do 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

REST IN GOD, YOU ARE HIS CHILD – JOHN 15 : 13, ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17, NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

https://youtu.be/3rS18riSFaI

“REST IN GOD, YOU ARE HIS CHILD. This time devoted to GOD is meant to be peaceful, not stressful. You don’t have to perform in order to receive The LORD’S Love. GOD has boundless, unconditional Love for you. How it grieves The LORD to see HIS children working for Love: trying harder and harder, yet never feeling good enough to be loved. Be careful that your devotion to GOD does not become another form of “works”. GOD wants you to come into HIS Presence joyfully and confidently. You have nothing to fear, for you wear The LORD’S own righteousness. Gaze into GOD’S eyes, and you will see no condemnation, only Love and delight in the one HE sees. Be blessed as GOD’S Face shines radiantly upon you, giving you Peace.”

Scripture

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. JOHN 15 : 13 

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” ZEPHANIAH 3 : 17 

“The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” NUMBERS 6 : 25 – 26

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, teach me to rest in You, receiving Your boundless, unconditional love instead of trying to earn it. Help me come into Your presence with joy and confidence, knowing I am clothed in Your righteousness and welcomed with delight.

Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭5‬

Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. ‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭5‬ NLT

Where are you seeking approval from? The world’s measure? God’s measure? Through life we have been taught right from wrong, if you are living a life that you know does not please God then you can be assured you will have tons of approval from the world’s measure. Today I pray that we all would check where our approval is coming from, the world or God’s word …… 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

RECEIVE GOD’S PEACE. | JOHN 14 : 27, ISAIAH 30 : 15, 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 4

https://youtu.be/UOhgK8QVaoM

“RECEIVE GOD’S PEACE. It is GOD’S continual gift to you. The best way to receive this gift is to sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, trusting HIM in every area of your life. Quietness and trust accomplish far more than you can imagine: not only in you, but also on earth and in heaven. When you trust GOD in a given area, you release that problem or person into HIS care. Spending time alone with The LORD can be a difficult discipline, because it goes against the activity addiction of this age. You may appear to be doing nothing, but actually you are participating in battles going on within spiritual realms. You are waging war — not with the weapons of the world, but with heavenly weapons, which have divine power to demolish strongholds. Living close to GOD is a sure defense against evil.”

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” JOHN 14 : 27 

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15 

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 2 CORINTHIANS 10 : 4

Prayer: Lord, I want to receive Your peace as Your continual gift—teach me to sit quietly in Your presence and to trust You with every worry. In that stillness, encourage me with Your heavenly strength to release burdens, stand firm against darkness, and partner with You in the work of prayer for Your glory. Amen.

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

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭3 : 4‬

“Even while we were with you, we warned you that troubles would soon come—and they did, as you well know.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭3 : 4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It was written thousands of years ago of what would someday come and it has!!! The Bible is a book of prophecy and shadows and I believe this scripture was meant to tell us of the end of days! Do not be alarmed! Do not be afraid because Jesus Christ spoke of the end days all through HIS ministry. Today’s prayer is that we would embrace the end days as much as we hate the way the world is!!!!! Remember this is not our home Heaven is and our time on earth is to tell all we can of the gospel of Jesus Christ!!!! Are you doing your part? …….. 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

Philippians‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭13‬

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4 ‬: ‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This is a scripture that may be familiar to you but the question is do you believe it? When you see a task that seems too difficult do you confess this scripture? When you battle with a stronghold do you rebuke it with these words? Today’s prayer is when a situation arises that seems impossible we would all hit it head on with I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST ……. 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

REJOICE IN GOD ALWAYS! | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4, 12, PSALM 102 : 27

https://youtu.be/V-lx6N1q-Ig

“REJOICE IN GOD ALWAYS! No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your Love-relationship with GOD. This is the secret of being content in all circumstances. So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy: when they are out of debt, when their children are out of trouble, when they have more leisure time, and so on. While they daydream, their moments are trickling into the ground like precious balm spilling wastefully from overturned bottles. Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality. Even though GOD is invisible, GOD is far more real than the world you see around you. The LORD’S reality is eternal and unchanging. Bring your moments to GOD, and HE will fill them with vibrant Joy. Now is the time to rejoice in GOD’S Presence!”

Scripture

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! . . . I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 4, 12 

But you remain the same, and your years will never end. PSALM 102 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord teach me to live in the present moment, appreciating the blessings you’ve given me. Whether I am in need or have plenty, help to be content and grateful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Galatians‬ ‭5 ‬: ‭1‬

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5 ‬: ‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Let freedom reign!!!! Isn’t wonderful to know that we have been set free from all of our strongholds! But are there some that still have a grip? This scripture tells us that we have been set free! Not we might be set free, we could be set free, or we are free only when we feel like it! We are set free! End of story!! Today’s prayer is that when the enemy comes against us and dangles the carrots we would confess we have dominion over that stronghold and have been set free …… 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
