‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:8‬

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Remember being a kid and being afraid of the dark? I do, I remember when it was dark you heard every noise and the wind outside sounded like the biggest ugliest monster there was. To live in the dark is to hide all the things that are not of the Lord. The light shines exposing everything it shows the true definition of all. Today’s prayer is that we would all shine bright for Jesus!!! Remember on the first day God said “let there be light” …….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

FOLLOW GOD ONE STEP AT A TIME. – PSALM 18 : 29, PSALM 91 : 11 – 12, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

“FOLLOW GOD ONE STEP AT A TIME. That is all GOD requires of you. In fact, that is the only way to move through this space/time world. You see huge mountains looming, and you start wondering how you’re going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you’re not looking where you’re going, you stumble on the easy path where GOD is leading you now. As GOD helps you get back on your feet, you tell HIM how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But you don’t know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Your path may take an abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains than is visible from this distance. If GOD do lead you up the cliffs, HE will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. GOD will even give HIS angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. Keep your mind on the present journey, enjoying GOD’S Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting GOD to open up the way before you.”

With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. PSALM 18 : 29

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. PSALM 91 : 11 – 12

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord thank you for equipping me for whatever is up ahead. Whether a steep mountain which I may need to climb to mature and grow more like Christ, or a fun slide down the side. Either way, I trust you and will follow you one step, one day, one hour at a time. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭1:8-12

“He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—” ‭‭John‬ ‭1:8-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

John knew he was not the light or the savior, he knew his assignment , to tell all of the one who was coming. Jesus trusts that we as disciples will do the exact same thing, “Tell the world” Today’s prayer is that we would all have the boldness and words to witness to all the non believers…….Be Blessed & witness away

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 YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. – PSALM 28 : 7, MATTHEW 6 : 34, PSALM 56 : 3 – 4, GENESIS 28 : 15

“GOD IS YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. GOD plans out each day and has it ready for you, long before you arise from bed. GOD also provides the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what’s on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with GOD. The LORD’S Power flows freely into you through your open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare. Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that GOD is your Shield. But unlike inanimate armor, The LORD is always alert and active. GOD’S Presence watches over you continually, protecting you from both known and unknown dangers. Entrust yourself to The LORD’S watch-care, which is the best security system available. GOD is with you and will watch over you wherever you go.”

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. PSALM 28 : 7

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

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4

“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

Prayer: Lord thank you for being my strength and my shield. Thank you for planning out my day and protecting me from known and unknown dangers. Show me any thing or area of my life that’s getting in the way of my relationship with you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John 1:5-7

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7 NKJV

It is so important as Christians to let our light shine, it is so easy when trials arise to shut the light off and let the dark show and that is exactly what the devil wants. To have true fellowship with The Lord is defined by our actions, remember non believers and some believers are watching what we do under the gun. Today I pray that we all will let our light shine to the glory of God, for he created light and he is light………..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

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.” Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had their eyes fixed on him, as he said to them, “This passage of scripture has come true today, as you heard it being read.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18-21‬ ‭GNT‬‬

This bit of scripture speaks right to my heart, Jesus stood in the synagogue and outright told them all he was the Messiah. The ones who believed followed, but the others called him a blasphemer. In the world today times have not changed, there are those who follow, and those who say Jesus is a fairy-tale. Today’s prayer is that we would witness to the world that Jesus is alive!!!! He is still healing, He is still setting the captive free, He is still the Messiah and will reign forever……..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

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. These were the last words JESUS CHRIST The LORD spoke before ascending into heaven. – MATTHEW 28 : 20, PSALM 139 : 1 – 4

“I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. These were the last words JESUS CHRIST The LORD spoke before ascending into heaven. GOD continues to proclaim this promise to all who will listen. People respond to GOD’S continual Presence in various ways. Most Christians accept this teaching as truth but ignore it in their daily living. Some ill-taught or wounded believers fear (and may even resent) The LORD’S awareness of all they do, say, and think. A few people center their lives around this glorious promise and find themselves blessed beyond all expectations. When GOD’S Presence is the focal point of your consciousness, all the pieces of your life fall into place. As you gaze at The LORD through the eyes of your heart, you can see the world around you from HIS perspective. The fact that GOD is with you makes every moment of your life meaningful. “

. . .and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MATTHEW 28 : 20

O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. PSALM 139 : 1 – 4

Prayer: God help me not only to accept your promise of always being with me as truth but also to let it sink deep down in my heart, making you the focal point of my consciousness throughout the day. Help me to see the world through your eyes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭25:34-40

““Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’'” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:34-40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture is so powerful!!! Jesus speaks of helping those in need, beings that he considers all creation his. When was the last time you lent a helping hand to a complete stranger? When was the last time you made a selfless act of kindness? Today’s prayer is that we would see Jesus in all we come across and treat them as if they were the most special person on earth…….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 IS A GOLDEN PATHWAY TO HEAVEN. – JOHN 14 : 1 – 2, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

“TRUST IS A GOLDEN PATHWAY TO HEAVEN. When you walk on this path, you live above your circumstances. GOD’S glorious Light shines more brightly on those who follow this path of Life. Dare to walk on the high road with GOD, for it is the most direct route to heaven. The low road is circuitous: twisting and turning in agonizing knots. There the air hangs heavy, and dark, ominous clouds predominate. Relying on your own understanding will weigh you down. Trust in GOD absolutely, and HE will make your path straight.”

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” JOHN 14 : 1 – 2

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer: God help me to trust You no matter what and accept that I don’t see all you see. There’s always a bigger picture. Thank you for preparing a place for me at your table in Heaven. I can’t wait to be there with you face to face. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭18:1-2

“I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:1-2‬ ‭

When you find yourself in any struggle, where do you turn to? Where do you find your peace? This Psalm lays it out perfectly!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would all understand the depth of God’s love for us and the hedge of protection he has waiting for 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
