DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. – JOHN 15 : 5, EPHESIANS 6 : 10, GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

“DO EVERYTHING in dependence on GOD. The desire to act independently — apart from GOD — springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from The LORD, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. GOD’S deepest desire for you is that you learn to depend on HIM in every situation. GOD moves heaven and earth to accomplish this purpose, but you must collaborate with HIM in this training. Teaching you would be simple if GOD negated your free will or overwhelmed you with HIS Power. However, The LORD loves you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege HE bestowed on you as HIS image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely, by relying on GOD constantly. Thus you enjoy GOD’S Presence and GOD’S Peace.”

Scripture

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. EPHESIANS 6 : 10

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. GENESIS 1 : 26 – 27

Prayer

Prayer: God, teach me to depend on you in every situation. Help me to do my part by spending time getting to know you each day through your word prayer, and fellowship with other believers. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭13 ‬: ‭12‬

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13 ‬: ‭12‬ ESV

Do you have an identity crisis? Are you searching for who you truly are? Do you see a reflection of the things of Jesus or the world? This scripture explains that we see a dim image, as Christians we are the righteousness of Jesus, we may not appear that way in the natural but spiritually we are. Today I pray that we would all know our identity, that one day we will stand face to face with our Lord and truly see who we 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

Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 1

“So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Are you stuck in the same Church rut you were when you first became a Christian? Are you hearing the same thing over and over again ? Well take it upon yourself to advance in your walk with Christ. This scripture explains we don’t need to keep doing the things we did when we first became Christians but to break out and advance. Today’s prayer is that we would want to advance our knowledge about our Savior, not just have fire insurance!!!!! Pray hard and read your Bible God will show you his way………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

Micah‬ ‭6 : 8

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah‬ ‭6 : 8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This scripture lays a great foundation for us to live our lives by. Day to day circumstances can seem impossible, but with God All things are possible. Today’s prayer is that we would act just to all we meet, give love and mercy and remember it has been given to us, and last but not least walk humbly with God at all times……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 YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. – JOHN 15 : 13 – 15, ISAIAH 61 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

“GOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with GOD through your life. Together you will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with The LORD. GOD can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. THe LORD can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like GOD! The friendship GOD offers you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in The LORD’S Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. GOD has equipped you to stay conscious of HIM while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.”

Scripture

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15

. . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ISAIAH 61 : 3

. . . sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 CORINTHIANS 6 : 10

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for walking with me hand in hand in whatever today brings; Whether trials or triumphs we will handle it together. Lead the way. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2 : 9‬

“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

IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. – PSALM 32 : 7, GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9, JOHN 8 : 12

“IN CLOSENESS TO GOD, you are safe. In the intimacy of GOD’S Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense GOD’S nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only GOD’S Presence can fill. GOD designed you for close communication with your Creator. How GOD enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them! When you commune with GOD in the garden of your heart, both you and The LORD are blessed. This is GOD’S way of living in the world — through you! Together with GOD you will push back the darkness, for GOD is the Light of the world.”

Scripture

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. PSALM 32 : 7

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” GENESIS 3 : 8 – 9

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 12

Prayers

Prayer: How I long to walk with you in the cool of the morning and evening in the garden Lord. One day. Until then, help me to commune with you in the garden of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1Timothy‬ ‭1 : 19‬

“holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” ‭‭1Timothy‬ ‭1 : 19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Is your faith strong? Do you trust your 100% to God? I see so many Christians that let the world’s circumstances destroy their faith in The Lord. The Bible tells us that GOD is there through ALL! Not some. Today’s prayer is that we would always trust in The Lord no matter what the circumstance is………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

LET THE DEW OF GOD’S PRESENCE refresh your mind and heart. – PSALM 46 : 10, LUKE 10 : 39 – 42, 1 CORINTHIANS 14 : 33

“LET THE DEW OF GOD’S PRESENCE refresh your mind and heart. So many, many things vie for your attention in this complex world of instant communication. The world has changed enormously since GOD first gave the command to be still and know that The LORD IS God. However, this timeless truth is essential for the well-being of your soul. As dew refreshes grass and flowers during the stillness of the night, so GOD’S Presence revitalizes you as you sit quietly with HIM. A refreshed, revitalized mind is able to sort out what is important and what is not. In its natural condition, your mind easily gets stuck on trivial matters. Like the spinning wheels of a car trapped in mud, the cogs of your brain spin impotently when you focus on a trivial thing. As soon as you start communicating with GOD about the matter, your thoughts gain traction and you can move on to more important things. Communicate with The LORD continually, and GOD will put HIS thoughts into your mind.”

Scripture

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” PSALM 46 : 10

She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 39 – 42

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 1 CORINTHIANS 14 : 33 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, your presence revitalizes me as I spend time with you. Help me to communicate with you continually, allowing your thoughts to fill my mind. Use me to be a blessing to others today, for your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

James‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 6 – 8

But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James‬ ‭1‬ :‭ 6 – 8‬ NLT

Where is your loyalty? Are you saying one thing yet doing another? James says that kind of double mind is like the unsettled oceans. Today I pray that your actions will define the person you are, let your Yes be Yes and your No be No. Let God’s grace help you……….Be Blessed
