GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. – EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19, PSALM 62 : 8

https://youtu.be/rRTDVBiulJE

“GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU, HIS CHILD. Allow yourself to become fully aware of GOD’S pleasure shining upon you. You don’t have to perform well in order to receive GOD’S Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from The LORD, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don’t measure up to your expectations. Shift your focus from your performance to GOD’S radiant Presence. The Light of GOD’S Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love. Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank The LORD for everything; trust in HIM at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to GOD’S loving Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. EPHESIANS 2 : 8 – 9

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, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 19

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

Prayer: Lord thank you that I don’t have to perform well to receive your love. Your love is unchangeable. Nothing I do could make you love me less or more. You are my constant rock on which I stand. Teach me to love like you do Lord. Transform my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭8

For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! ‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ NLT

Are you living on the edge? Are you dabbling in a little sin? Are you pushing the envelope? Or are you trying your best to live as God would have us live? Are you shinning your light? Today I pray we would all realize that since Jesus came into our life the sin nature is not who we are any longer………Be Blessed and turn up your light

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

LEAVE OUTCOMES UP TO GOD. – PSALM 27 : 13 – 14, EXODUS 15 : 13

https://youtu.be/8jHmOkbJUek

“LEAVE OUTCOMES UP TO GOD. Follow GOD wherever HE leads, without worrying about how it will all turn out. Think of your life as an adventure, with The LORD as your Guide and Companion. Live in the now, concentrating on staying in step with GOD. When your path leads to a cliff, be willing to climb it with GOD’S help. When you come to a resting place, take time to be refreshed in GOD’S Presence. Enjoy the rhythm of life lived close to The LORD. You already know the ultimate destination of your journey: your entrance into heaven. So keep your focus on the path just before you, leaving outcomes up to GOD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. PSALM 27 : 13 – 14

“In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.” EXODUS 15 : 13

Prayer: Lord help me to leave outcomes up to you and follow you wherever you lead in this adventure. If you say it’s wrong then I’ll say no, if you say release I’m letting go, if your in it with me I’ll begin, and if you say to jump I’m diving in. If you say be still then I will wait, if you say to trust I will obey. Teach me how to follow in your ways, I’m done chasing feelings – Holy Spirit lead me. Amen.

COME TO GOD, and rest in GOD’S Peace. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7, JOHN 7 : 38, EPHESIANS 5 : 18 – 20

https://youtu.be/C5D7Y-r1wgg

“COME TO GOD, and rest in GOD’S Peace. GOD’S Face is shining upon you, in rays of Peace transcending understanding. Instead of trying to figure things out yourself, you can relax in the Presence of the One who knows everything. As you lean on The LORD in trusting dependence, you feel peaceful and complete. This is how The LORD designed you to live: in close communion with HIM. When you are around other people, you tend to cater to their expectations—real or imagined. You feel enslaved to pleasing them, and your awareness of GOD’S Presence grows dim. Your efforts to win their approval eventually exhaust you. You offer these people dry crumbs rather than the living water of GOD’S Holy Spirit flowing through you. This is not GOD’S way for you! Stay in touch with The LORD, even during your busiest moments. Let GOD’S Spirit give you words of grace as you live in the Light of GOD’S Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” JOHN 7 : 38

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 18 – 20

Prayer: Lord thank you for reminding me to come and rest in your peace. That everything is under your control and care. You have me in the palm of your hand. Help me to commune with you more today than I did yesterday for my benefit. In Jesus precious name. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:13

“each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.”
1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you work unto the Lord or into man? To work unto man is to please him no matter what the compromise!!! To work unto the Lord is to have the most uncompromising value there is!!!

Today’s prayer is that we would have the upmost moral value in all we do and as Christians we should have that moral in all we do!!!! Shine the light of the Lord, Always be humble and do what is right…… fire refines as it destroys……. 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

THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Jesus Christ. – ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2, ISAIAH 30 : 21, JOHN 10 : 27, PSALM 23 : 1 – 3

https://youtu.be/rVQGD05v3GI

“THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of Life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Not many Christians know how to live in this radical freedom, which is their birthright. Jesus Christ died to set you free; live freely in The LORD! To walk along the path of freedom, you must keep your mind firmly fixed on The LORD. Many voices proclaim: “This is the way for you to go,” but only The LORD’S voice tells you the true way. If you follow the way of the world with all its glitter and glamour, you will descend deeper and deeper into an abyss. Christian voices also can lead you astray: “Do this!” “Don’t do that!” “Pray this way!” “Don’t pray that way!” If you listen to all those voices, you will become increasingly confused. Be content to be a simple sheep, listening for The LORD’S voice and following Christ. The LORD will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 21

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3

Prayer: Lord thank you that through Jesus the law of the Spirit of Life has set me free from the law of sin and death. What a precious gift. One I don’t deserve. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Help me listen for your voice and yours alone to follow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy 1:8-9

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 2 Timothy 1:8-9 NKJV

Oh to be like Paul was, this should be our prayers. The revelation that was given to Paul was incredible and the fact that he wrote it for us to have is even better. Paul was saying never,ever,ever be ashamed of the words of Jesus stand strong and take the ridicule. Paul understood that we were saved not by our works but by Grace. God is not interested in our religious acts, he I interested in our hearts, knowing that under all circumstances that we glorify him and his son. Self check, are you glorifying him in all situations? My prayer for all is to see through any situation and give God all the glory, for we are saved

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

AS YOU LOOK at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. – PSALM 73 : 23 – 24, CORINTHIANS 13 : 12

https://youtu.be/5240Src6mys

“AS YOU LOOK at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the One who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall The LORD’S promise to guide you with HIS counsel, and you begin to relax. As you look again at the path ahead, you notice that a peaceful fog has settled over it, obscuring your view. You can see only a few steps in front of you, so you turn your attention more fully to GOD and begin to enjoy GOD’S Presence. The fog is a protection for you, calling you back into the present moment. Although GOD inhabits all of space and time, you can communicate with HIM only here and now. Someday the fog will no longer be necessary, for you will have learned to keep your focus on GOD and on the path just ahead of you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. PSALM 73 : 23 – 24

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12

Prayer: Lord help me to keep my focus on you this week. You promise to give me just enough daily bread for each day. You know exactly what is up ahead and you have a good plan. Even though I can’t see the future you can. Help me to trust your timing and your plan. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
