“He must become greater; I must become less.”” John 3 : 30 NIV
I have seen this scripture all over lately, it’s very simple “Put GOD first in everything” in the world today we live in a “Me” mentality and I believe that is the cause of the epic failure we see in society. Today’s prayer is simple put God first in everything you do and he will always be Greater……..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
“TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. GOD wants you to view trials as exercises designed to develop your trust-muscles. You live in the midst of fierce spiritual battles, and fear is one of Satan’s favorite weapons. When you start to feel afraid, affirm your trust in GOD. Speak out loud, if circumstances permit. Resist the devil in GOD’S Name, and he will slink away from you. Refresh yourself in The LORD’S Holy Presence. Speak or sing praises to GOD, and HIS Face will shine radiantly upon you. Remember that there is no condemnation for those who belong to The LORD. You have been judged NOT GUILTY for all eternity. Trust The LORD, and don’t be afraid; for GOD is your Strength, Song, and Salvation.”
Scripture
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. JAMES 4 : 7
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
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALMS 23 : 4
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, help me to view trials as opportunities to develop my trust muscles in you. When I start to feel anxious or afraid, help me speak the name of Jesus and remember I am Heaven bound. Everything else is preparation for eternity with you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” Matthew 10 : 29 – 31 NLT
Do you ever feel unworthy? Ever wonder if you’re good enough? Well you can be assured by man’s standards you will probably never be good enough, but by God Almighty’s standard you are perfect. Today’s prayer is that we would live to please God !! Live by God’s example….. 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
“WAIT WITH GOD FOR A WHILE. GOD has much to tell you. You are walking along the path GOD has chosen for you. It is both a privileged and a perilous way: experiencing GOD’S glorious Presence and heralding that reality to others. Sometimes you feel presumptuous to be carrying out such an assignment. Do not worry about what other people think of you. The work The LORD is doing in you is hidden at first. But eventually blossoms will burst forth, and abundant fruit will be borne. Stay on the path of Life with GOD. Trust The LORD wholeheartedly, letting HIS Spirit fill you with Joy and Peace.”
Scripture
“O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.” 1 KINGS 8 : 23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. GALATIANS 5 : 22 – 23
Prayer
Prayer: God help me to stay on the path of life with you. To trust you wholeheartedly, letting your Spirit fill me with joy and peace as I rest in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Galatians 6 : 9 NKJV
Are you doing good but not seeing results? As this scripture says in due season. The results manifest when you least expect them, hold strong and always do good. Today’s prayer is that we would truly understand that we reap what we sow…….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 A GOD WHO HEALS. GOD heals broken bodies, broken minds, broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. The LORD’S very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to GOD without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not because you ask not. You receive the healing that flows naturally from GOD’S Presence, whether you seek it or not. But there is more — much more —available to those who ask. The first step in receiving healing is to live ever so close to GOD. The benefits of this practice are too numerous to list. As you grow more and more intimate with GOD, HE reveals HIS will to you more directly. When the time is right, The LORD prompts you to ask for healing of some brokenness in you or in another person. The healing may be instantaneous, or it may be a process. That is up to GOD. Your part is to trust GOD fully and to thank HIM for the restoration that has begun. GOD rarely heals all the brokenness in a person’s life. Even The LORD’S servant Paul was told, “My grace is sufficient for you,” when he sought healing for the thorn in his flesh. Nonetheless, much healing is available to those whose lives are intimately interwoven with The LORD’S. Ask, and you will receive.”
Scripture
. . . who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases . . . PSALM 103 : 3
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 7 – 9
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” MATTHEW 7 : 7
Prayer
Prayer: Lord help me to grow more and more intimate with you. To learn your voice and hear your will more directly. Reveal any brokenness in my life so that you can heal it according to your will and in your perfect timing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
““The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”” Luke 4 : 18 – 21 NIV
Jesus showed all kinds of wonders and miracles but many still did not believe. The Pharisees and Sadducees were so well versed in the law but they still would not believe that the Messiah was among them. Today the same remains, people are receiving healing, and miracles in the lowest times of their life but still don’t see. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for the spirit of God to fall on all with a hardened heart that they may believe in the one true living God, Jesus told them back then and we are telling them today…….Be Blessed and Testify!!!!!!
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 CONTINUALLY CALLS YOU to closeness with HIM. GOD knows the depth and breadth of your need for HIM. GOD can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from HIM. The LORD offers rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in The LORD, other pleasures become less important. Knowing GOD intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from The LORD’S throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances. Waiting in GOD’S Presence keeps you connected to HIM, aware of all that The LORD offers you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on GOD. This is how you trust GOD in the moments of your life.”
Scripture
But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. PSALM 131 : 2
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7
Prayer
Prayer: God thank you for providing rest for my soul and refreshment for my mind and body as I spend time with you. Today if I feel any deficiency, help me refocus my attention on you and ask for your help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5 : 7 – 11 NKJV
There comes a time when you have to come to the end of yourself!!! We all think we can do it ourselves because if not we may seem weak. We didn’t die on the cross Jesus did!!!! So that should wake us up that we couldn’t save ourselves nor can we do everything on our own. Today I pray we all would cast our fears and cares on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, because the devil is waiting for the one that has the ME syndrome ……….. 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 early morning splendor. The LORD eagerly awaits you there. In the stillness of this holy time with GOD, HE renews your strength and saturates you with Peace. While others turn over for extra sleep or anxiously tune in to the latest news, you commune with the Creator of the universe. GOD has awakened in your heart a strong desire to know HIM. This longing originated in GOD though it now burns brightly in you. When you seek The LORD’S Face in response to HIS Love-call, both of you are blessed. This is a deep mystery, designed more for your enjoyment than for your understanding. GOD is not a dour God who discourages pleasure. GOD delights in your enjoyment of everything that is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable. Think on these things, and The LORD’S Light in you will shine brighter day by day.”
Scripture
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 31
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. PSALM 27 : 4
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 8
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, thank you for renewing my mind and soaking me in your peace when I spend time with you. Help me to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. Redirect my thoughts when they wander. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
