HEAVEN IS both present and future. – 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23, HEBREWS 6 : 19

https://youtu.be/J5To86SLoWg

“HEAVEN IS both present and future. As you walk along your life-path holding GOD’S hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to GOD. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway, because the earth is radiantly alive with The LORD’S Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of GOD’S brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to GOD’S holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with The LORD. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only GOD knows when you will reach that destination, but GOD is preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in The LORD’S perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with GOD.”

Scripture

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, the absolute certainty of heaven gives me peace and joy even on tough days. My light and momentary troubles are achieving for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Open my eyes to see the hints of Heaven you’ve placed along my path today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7

“For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.” Psalms‬ ‭11 : 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Oh to being pleasing to God, He loves when we become more like his Son. The way we think determines the way we act, for example if we look at the negative in all situations we will become negative, if we look at the positives we will become positive. Today’s prayer is that we would be bright witnesses to the positive change having Jesus Christ as the cornerstone in our lives and let all know it’s waiting for them as well ……. 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

THIS IS THE DAY THAT GOD HAS MADE. – PSALM 118 : 24, PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14

https://youtu.be/s7d9zct-LGQ

“THIS IS THE DAY THAT GOD HAS MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that GOD is pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since GOD is the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank The LORD for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees GOD to work HIS ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it. To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. The LORD knew what HE was doing when HE divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. GOD understands human frailty, and GOD knows that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in The LORD’S Presence today.”

Scripture

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118 : 24

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 3 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to begin today with open hands, ready to receive whatever you have for me, whether the path is smooth or bumpy. I trust you. Help me cling to your hand and remain grateful no matter what. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today’s prayer is that we would never draw away from GOD, but to always draw near to HIM to receive all the love HE has waiting ……. Be Blessed

TRUST GOD IN EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE – JEREMIAH 17 : 7, ROMANS 8 : 28, PSALM 40 : 2, 1 PETER 2 : 9

https://youtu.be/_3x5O88bSvI

“TRUST GOD IN EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE. Nothing is random in GOD’S kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love The LORD. Instead of trying to analyze the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting GOD and thanking HIM at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to The LORD. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through GOD’S transforming grace. While you were still living in darkness, GOD began to shine the Light of HIS Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, GOD lifted you up out of the mire into HIS marvelous Light. Having sacrificed HIS very Life for you, The LORD can be trusted in every facet of your life.”

Scripture

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.” JEREMIAH 17 : 7

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ROMANS 8 : 28

He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. PSALM 40 : 2

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 PETER 2 : 9 (NKJV)

Prayer

Prayer: God there is such hope knowing that even though I still mess up, you died for that sin too and you recycle my mistakes and sin into something good every time! Transform me by the renewing of my mind to be more like Christ this week. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭11 : 23 – 29‬ ‭

“For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again. So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup. For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11 : 23 – 29‬ ‭

Communion is one of the most sacred things you can do to honor what Jesus Christ did for us on The Cross. The symbolism of the bread and the wine is so critically important to us as believers. Today’s prayer is that we would all take communion as often as we can, it not only brings us into remembrance of what Jesus Christ did for us but it also brings us closer to God Almighty ….. 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 GOD FILL YOU with HIS Love, Joy, and Peace. These are Glory-gifts, flowing from The LORD’S living Presence. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7, ISAIAH 30 : 15

https://youtu.be/RcudjTa0gms

“LET GOD FILL YOU with HIS Love, Joy, and Peace. These are Glory-gifts, flowing from The LORD’S living Presence. Though you are an earthen vessel, GOD designed you to be filled with heavenly contents. Your weakness is not a deterrent to being filled with GOD’S Holy Spirit; on the contrary, it provides an opportunity for HIS Power to shine forth more brightly. As you go through this day, trust GOD to provide the strength that you need moment by moment. Don’t waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for today’s journey. The LORD’S Holy Spirit within you is more than sufficient to handle whatever this day may bring. That is the basis for your confidence! In quietness (spending time alone with GOD) and confident trust (relying on GOD’S sufficiency) is your strength.”

Scripture

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7 (NKJV)

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

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, fill me with Your Love, Joy, and Peace today—gifts only You can give. Help me not to worry about my own strength, but to trust in Yours, knowing that Your Spirit in me is more than enough. Let my weakness be the place where Your glory shines brightest. Amen.
