People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their heart. Proverbs 21:2 NLT
Are we being the kind of Christian that Jesus longs for us to be or just a Christian on the outside? God sees our heart and knows the true us. Today I pray that we would search ourselves and see if we are being the person that Jesus wants, as Christians we not only have to have a fancy cover but depth to our pages……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
“COME TO GOD for all that you need. Come into GOD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to HIS treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that GOD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to GOD with confident expectations. There is nothing you need that GOD cannot provide.”
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5
Prayer: Lord thank you that you are not just loving you are love and you are light. Thank you for your gift of a beautiful sunrise and sunset. For flowers blooming, birds singing, and hearts still pumping. Thank you for providing for all my needs. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. Acts 20:24 NLT
Grace is an undeserved favor, Grace is everlasting forgiveness,Grace is Jesus Christ. This scripture talks about how can you not tell everyone you meet about Grace? What good is Grace in your life if you don’t tell how you got it? Today I pray that we all would tell everyone about God’s great Grace and his name is 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
“MEET GOD IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of The LORD’S Presence. Worship GOD in the beauty of holiness. Sing love songs to GOD’S holy Name. As you give yourself to The LORD, HIS Holy Spirit dwells within you till you are flooded with divine Presence. The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain GOD’S riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to GOD and HIS ways, the more GOD fills you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy.”
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. PSALM 29 : 2 (NKJV)
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 PETER 1 : 8
Prayer: Lord, I give myself to you anew today. As I do I feel your Spirit swelling within me, filling me with your peace and joy, until I am flooded with your presence. Help me attain your riches by letting go and giving. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. If GOD is truly your Master, you will desire to please GOD above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you. If GOD is the Master of your life, GOD will also be your First Love. Your serving The LORD is rooted and grounded in The LORD’s vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before GOD, the higher GOD lifts you up into intimate an relationship with HIM. The Joy of living in GOD’S Presence outshines all other pleasures. GOD wants you to reflect HIS joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with HIM.”
“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” MATTHEW 6 : 24
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11
Prayer: Lord help me to truly understand that the joy of living in your presence outshines all other pleasures this world could offer. To focus on pleasing you above people and reflecting your light in an increasingly dark world. A world desperate for a Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”” Matthew 9:13 NKJV
Do you think you’re not good enough? Do you think you have to get your act cleaned up before you can call upon the Lord? Jesus tells us he did not call for the righteous but the sinners to repent. Most of the Christians I know (including myself) could not have been further from God when they met him and most of them are the most on fire believers I know. Today’s prayer is that we would witness our testimony to those who do not believe and let them know Jesus is waiting with arms wide open no matter where they are…….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
“LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON GOD is the way to enjoy abundant life. You are learning to appreciate tough times, because they amplify your awareness of GOD’S Presence. Tasks that you used to dread are becoming rich opportunities to enjoy GOD’S closeness. When you feel tired, you remember that The LORD is your Strength; you take pleasure in leaning on HIM. GOD is pleased by your tendency to turn to HIM more and more frequently, especially when you are alone. When you are with other people, you often lose sight of GOD’S Presence. Your fear of displeasing people puts you in bondage to them, and they become your primary focus. When you realize this has happened, whisper The LORD’S Name; this tiny act of trust brings GOD to the forefront of your consciousness, where HE belongs. As you bask in the blessing of GOD’S nearness, The LORD’S life can flow through you to others.”
This is abundant life! Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. PROVERBS 29 : 25
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” JOHN 10 : 10
Prayer: God help me to live in dependence on you so that I can enjoy the abundant life, full of peace and joy, Jesus died for me to live. Help me to turn to you more and more frequently this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“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
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
Word of the day “Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 62:5-6
Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is were it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..Be Blessed
“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:5-6 NIV
This scripture breaks it down in such simple terms it’s amazing. If someone asked you if you love God what would your response be? Of course it would be YES so if you love God don’t you want to try to please him at all times? To live like Jesus is to live a life that is pleasing to God, to have the heart of a servant. Today’s prayer is that we would wake up daily and start our day out by praying “Heavenly Father let me not serve myself today, but serve only you” let your will be done throughout my day and make this day not mine but yours” I believe this confession will help us all live more like Jesus……..Be Blessed
