FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10, MATTHEW 23 : 8, MATTHEW 6 : 1

https://youtu.be/BE-qNiHNHks

“FIND FREEDOM through seeking to please GOD above all else. You can have only one Master. When you let others’ expectations drive you, you scatter your energy to the winds. Your own desire to look good can also drain your energy. GOD is your Master, and HE does not drive you to be what you are not. Your pretense displeases GOD, especially when it is in GOD’S “service.” Concentrate on staying close to GOD at all times. It is impossible to be inauthentic while you are focusing on GOD’S Presence.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. EPHESIANS 5 : 8 – 10

“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.” MATTHEW 23 : 8

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” MATTHEW 6 : 1

Prayer: Lord help me to find freedom in seeking to please you above all else. Help me to concentrate on staying close to you. And allow everything else to fall into place. Fill me with your joy and peace. And help me to be genuine in everything I say and do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

II 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, (II 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 by grace not by our works…………

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

Daily Devotional Video 7/21/2020 – PROVERBS 3 : 5, Isaiah 30:15

https://youtu.be/Hu8XVz2xcyQ

“REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it. When you relax in GOD’S company, you are demonstrating trust in GOD. Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life. GOD wants you to lean on, trust, and be confident in HIM. When you lean on GOD for support, HE delights in your trusting confidence. Many people turn away from GOD when they are exhausted. They associate GOD with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from The LORD’S Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens The LORD! As GOD spoke through HIS prophet Isaiah: In returning to GOD and resting in GOD you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5 (AMP)

For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved;in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.
But you were unwilling, Isaiah 30:15

Prayer: Lord help me to lean on and trust in you for my rest and refreshment. When I’m with you, let it be a relaxing and peaceful time. May your word fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you, so that I will overflow with hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV)

In our daily lives the world controls our fears. The word of God states just Believe!!!!! So today trust God in all things trust what the word says and see Gods love for you…….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

Acts 20:24

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. (‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20‬:‭24‬ NLT)

Grace is underserved favor, Grace is everlasting forgiveness,Grace is Jesus Christ. This scripture talks about how can you not tell everyone you meet about Grace, what good is your life if you don’t tell how you got it? Today I pray that we all would tell everyone about Gods great Grace and his name is 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

1 John‬ ‭4:16‬

“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

What the world is missing is “True Love” and what is the meaning of true love? True love is the love that God displayed for us by sending his son to the cross for all of our sin. True love is to have the heart of a servant, to put others before yourself, to be kind in all circumstances. Today’s prayer is that we all would set aside all of the hustle of the world and slow down enough to recognize what love is and show it to all……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

Daily Devotional Video 7/17/2020 – SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13, LUKE 10 : 42

https://youtu.be/SLQmoHf_qqE

“COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. The world, with its non-stop demands, can be put on hold. Most people put GOD on hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on The LORD. But the longer people push GOD into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find HIM. You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives. Even those who know The LORD as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world. They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity. GOD has called you to follow HIM on a solitary path, making time alone with GOD your highest priority and deepest Joy. It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised. However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you. Moreover, as you walk close to GOD, HE can bless others through you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13

“But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 42

Personal Note: I can testify from 1st hand experience of the improvement and enrichment in my life and the kind of man I am since I started spending daily time with The LORD in prayer and Bible study at what was a very low point in my life due to my own mistakes almost 9 years ago. Before then I was a Christian but like many didn’t have a “personal relationship” with The LORD

Prayer: Lord help me to make time alone with you and let that be my highest priority and deepest joy each day. Don’t let anything stand in the way of this precious time with you. Fill me with all peace and joy today by the power of the Holy Spirit. Use me to be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭13:11‬

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Are we in the end times? Is the Lord coming soon? Are you ready if he shows up tomorrow? I do not know the answers too these questions but I believe they are all possible with the condition of the world. Today’s prayer is that we would get closer too God than we have ever been! Repent and make a U turn from your ways and get back on the road of righteousness…… Be Blessed and always be a blessing

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

Daily Devotional Video 7/16/2020 – PSALM 40 : 2 – 3, PSALM 42 : 5, PSALM 147 : 11

https://youtu.be/mC9xwbLkUVk

“SELF – PITY IS A SLIMY, BOTTOMLESS PIT. Once you fall in, you tend to go deeper and deeper into the mire. As you slide down those slippery walls, you are well on your way to depression, and the darkness is profound. Your only hope is to look up and see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining down on you. Though the Light looks dim from your perspective, deep in the pit, those rays of hope can reach you at any depth. While you focus on GOD in trust, you rise ever so slowly out of the abyss of despair. Finally, you can reach up and grasp The LORD’S hand. GOD will pull you out into the Light again. The LORD will gently cleanse you, washing off the clinging mire. GOD will cover you with HIS righteousness and walk with you down the path of Life. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. PSALM 40 : 2 – 3

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. PSALM 42 : 5 (NKJV)

The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. PSALM 147 : 11

Prayer: Lord thank you that your rays of hope can reach me and meet me where I’m at. When I start down the path of self-pity, help me to count all the ways you’ve taken care of me in the past and are still doing and reach up and grab your hand. In you I am safe and loved. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“DO NOT WORRY ABOUT Tomorrow. This is not a suggestion, but a command from GOD. GOD divided time into days and nights, so that you would have manageable portions of life to handle. GOD’S grace is sufficient for you, but it’s sufficiency is for only one day at a time. When you worry about the future, you heap day upon day of troubles onto your flimsy frame. You stagger under this heavy load, which GOD never intended you to carry. Throw off this oppressive burden with one quick thrust of trust in GOD. Anxious thoughts meander about and criss-cross in your brain, but trusting GOD brings you directly into The LORD’S Presence. As you thus affirm your faith, shackles of worry fall off instantly. Enjoy GOD’S Presence continually by trusting GOD at all times. ” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MATTHEW 6 : 34

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 : 9

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. PSALM 62 : 8 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you more and worry less. Help me to focus on doing everything today with you. You give me the exact amount I need for each day – enough strength, enough energy for today. Help me to keep my eyes and mind fixed on you today, the author and perfecter of my faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
