Proverbs‬ ‭13 : 3‬

“Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.” Proverbs‬ ‭13 : 3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Careful what you say!!!! Speaking negative is speaking death into the situation, speaking positive is to speak life into the situation. It is so easy to get caught up into gossip and that is complete death!!! Think about how good you feel when you have a conversation about your faith, well there’s the answer. Today’s prayer is in the midst of a situation where we are forced to speak death either leave, or speak positively ……. 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

YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. – PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12, GENESIS 28 : 15, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19, ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/apNca653WTE

“YOU CAN LIVE AS CLOSE TO GOD as you choose. GOD sets up no barriers between you; neither does GOD tear down barriers that you erect. People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don’t turn out as they’d hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation. Put more energy into trusting The LORD and enjoying HIS Presence. Don’t let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to GOD’S precious promises:”

Scripture

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. from My Love. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 12

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” GENESIS 28 : 15

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

Prayer

Prayer: God, help me to desire to live close to you and to put my energy into trusting you and enjoying your presence rather than in my circumstances. My well-being is connected to your precious promises. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mark 8 : 34 – 35

When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. Mark 8 : 34 – 35 NKJV

Losing your life to save it is the best decision we ever made, getting rid of the old sinful nature brings us eternal life. Today look through whatever trial comes your way and look to the eternal life we have in heaven. Take up your cross and rejoice in the end we win……..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

WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. – EXODUS 33 : 14, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25, HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21, PSALM 29 : 11

https://youtu.be/dfEupB3Nzec

“WALK PEACEFULLY WITH GOD through this day. You are wondering how you will cope with all that is expected of you. You must traverse this day like any other: one step at a time. Instead of mentally rehearsing how you will do this or that, keep your mind on GOD’S Presence and on taking the next step. The more demanding your day, the more help you can expect from The LORD. This is a training opportunity, since GOD designed you for deep dependence on HIM, your Shepherd-King. Challenging times wake you up and amplify your awareness of needing GOD’S help. When you don’t know what to do, wait while GOD opens the way before you. Trust that The LORD knows what HE is doing, and be ready to follow HIS lead. GOD will give strength to you, and The LORD will bless you with Peace.”

Scripture

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14

The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. DEUTERONOMY 33 : 25

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. HEBREWS 13 : 20 – 21

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you the more demanding my day, the more I can expect your help when I give up control to you. Help me to view challenging times as reminders of how much I need your help. Give me strength and peace to do your good works today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians ‭3 : 20

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;” Philippians ‭3 : 20‬ ‭NASB‬‬

As I read this scripture the song “Waiting on the dock of a bay” strikes me. We all are waiting for something in this life. Is it our permanent home or something else? Today’s prayer is that we would Love hard, Be loyal, be transparent, and be the best us we can be in the Lord’s eyes not the world’s …….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

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED by the difficulty of keeping your focus on GOD. – ROMANS 8 : 33 – 34, HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16

https://youtu.be/rpG5Y-wdJR0

“DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED by the difficulty of keeping your focus on GOD. GOD knows that your heart’s desire is to be aware of HIS Presence continually. This is a lofty goal; you aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life. Don’t let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as GOD sees you. First of all, GOD is delighted by your deep desire to walk closely with HIM through your life. GOD is pleased each time you initiate communication with HIM. In addition, GOD notices the progress you have made since you first resolved to live in HIS Presence. When you realize that your mind has wandered away from GOD, don’t be alarmed or surprised. You live in a world that has been rigged to distract you. Each time you plow your way through the massive distractions to communicate with GOD, you achieve a victory. Rejoice in these tiny triumphs, and they will increasingly light up your days.”

Scripture

Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. ROMANS 8 : 33 – 34

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. HEBREWS 4 : 14 – 16

Prayer

Prayer: God I am so grateful for your grace and patience. And because you lived on earth as man, you understand every temptation, distraction, and feeling I could ever have. I can come to you for every need. I find my rest in you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

Acts ‭4‬ :‭ 12

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” Acts ‭4‬ :‭ 12‬ NLT

I hear this statement so often made ” I’m a good person I’m ok” well friends unfortunately being a good person won’t get you to heaven!!!! In this scripture Luke states that there is no other name, or other way but Jesus Christ!!!!! Today I pray that all that are not saved will come to realize that being a good and nice person won’t save you, that only Jesus can save…….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

James‬ ‭4 : 7 – 8‬

“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4 : 7 – 8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where does your loyalty lie? Are you battling a spiritual warfare today? Are your motives pure ? This scripture I believe describes most of us at a certain time. Today’s prayer is that we would all humble ourselves before God Almighty and ask for the strength to battle the war within, To give us pure motives in all we do, and for us to be loyal to God as he is to us …… 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

‭Matthew‬ ‭6 : 21

“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” ‭Matthew‬ ‭6 : 21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Where are your treasures? What is your most loved thing that you have ? Do you love it more than God? Ouch I know hit me hard also!!!! Sometimes we tend to value our possessions so much we can put them before our Heavenly Father. Today’s prayer is that we would know that all of our things are just things!!!!! Pray about everything and always have your priorities straight!!!!! 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

LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. – EXODUS 3 : 5, 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19, JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

https://youtu.be/7ZlrU-kBbaI

“LEARN TO LISTEN TO GOD even while you are listening to other people. As they open their souls to your scrutiny, you are on holy ground. You need the help of GOD’S Holy Spirit to respond appropriately. Ask The LORD to think through you, live through you, love through you. GOD’S own Being is alive within you in the Person of the Holy Spirit. If you respond to others’ needs through your unaided thought processes, you offer them dry crumbs. When the Holy Spirit empowers your listening and speaking, GOD’S streams of living water flow through you to other people. Be a channel of GOD’S Love, Joy, and Peace by listening to GOD as you listen to others.”

Scripture

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” EXODUS 3 : 5

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 : 19

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOHN 7 : 38 – 39

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for your Holy Spirit who is God and knows everything about everything, past, present, and future – and who lives in me. Holy Spirit think through me, live through me, and love through me – help me to listen and speak what you tell me. Use me Lord to be an encouragement to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
