“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” Revelation 16:15 NLT
More than ever it’s time to take our faith serious! Not just going to church on Sunday, or having a Bible on the nightstand it’s time to take our relationship with Jesus to another level. Today I pray that with all the trouble going on in the world that we would 100% have our trust in Jesus…….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
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17 NKJV
There are so many things that are weapons! The most powerful one is the tongue, people will say hurtful things, condemning things, that can do some severe damage. As a Christian we are to understand that we are under attack by the things of the world, but Jesus is right there with us. Today’s prayer is that we would never retaliate with actions, but retaliate with kindness knowing that God has our back……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
“EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for GOD. When you became a Christian, GOD infused HIS very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on HIM. Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where The LORD wants you — the best place to encounter GOD in HIS Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to GOD! Allow GOD to fight for you. Watch The LORD working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of GOD’S Almighty Presence.” After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . .” REVELATION 19 : 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. PSALM 91 : 1 Prayer: God, thank you for allowing me to be in situations beyond my capabilities so I can rely on you to fill in the gaps and fight my battles for me. Over and over you prove yourself faithful and trustworthy. Thank you for being my Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, “This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the LORD : I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.” Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. Hebrews 10:11-18 NLT
This is a long one but ever so important, under the law we could never live up to the commandments, God knew this so he sent Jesus in the place of the law. In The Old Testament the priest gave sacrifices daily, but that did not forgive once and for all, the sacrifice of the Lamb of God however did!!!!!!! Today I pray that all would take up their place in Christ and live the life of victory that he died for…….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
“FIND GOD in the midst of the maelstrom. Sometimes events whirl around you so quickly that they become a blur. Whisper GOD’S Name in recognition that HE is still with you. Without skipping a beat in the activities that occupy you, you find strength and Peace through praying The LORD’S Name. Later, when the happenings have run their course, you can talk with GOD more fully. Accept each day just as it comes to you. Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust The LORD enough to yield to HIS design and purposes. Remember that nothing can separate you from GOD’S loving Presence; you are HIS.”
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 9 – 11
But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. ISAIAH 43 : 1
Prayer: Lord, help me to whisper your name when things start to spin out of control so I can replace my anxious thoughts with your strength and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.” Galatians 6:1 NKJV
Are you free of sin? Are you ok to judge another for their actions? I believe not!!!!! This scripture speaks about lifting another with gentleness not condemnation!!!!! Because truth be known we all fall flat on our face daily!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would humble ourselves at the foot of the cross and ask for God’s wisdom on how we can strengthen our walk along with uplifting our brothers and sisters……..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. GOD eagerly awaits you there. In the stillness of this holy time with GOD, GOD renews your strength and saturates you with HIS 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 GOD’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 GOD’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 strength and soaking me in your peace when I spend time with you. Redirect my thoughts when needed. You are a good, good Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43:2 NLT
God’s word is never void!! His promises endure forever!! So when things get rough, stand on his promise. Today I pray we would all remember his word during times of trial……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 THE GOD OF ALL TIME and all that is. Seek GOD not only in morning quietness but consistently throughout the day. Do not let unexpected problems distract you from The LORD’s Presence. Instead, talk with The LORD about everything, and watch confidently to see what HE will do. Adversity need not interrupt your communion with GOD. When things go “wrong,” you tend to react as if you’re being punished. Instead of this negative response, try to view difficulties as blessings in disguise. Make GOD your Refuge by pouring out your heart to The LORD, trusting in HIM at all times.”
Scripture
Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. PSALM 55 : 17
Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. PSALM 32 : 6
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, I want to make you my refuge, trusting you at all times – morning, noon, and night. When I forget, gently remind me you are with me and you promise to use everything for good. I trust you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” 1 Peter 1:6-7 NLT
How do you deal with the trials of life? Do you stress, worry, curse, cry or pray?. Prayer and communication with our Lord during trials are critical!!! Not communicating with God shows your dependence on yourself. Today’s prayer is that you exercise your faith in God not yourself! When trials rear their ugly head, seek God for council…….Be Blessed
