“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 NIV
Temptation is a daily thing, Temptation is different for all people. For some temptation is food, for some gossip, for some adultery. Where do you turn when temptation arises? Do you turn to God for direction? Today’s prayer is that when we are tempted we would rebuke the temptation in Jesus’s name and the author of temptation (the devil) will flee…….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
“REFUSE TO WORRY! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with GOD, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of GOD’S Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from GOD’S perspective. Live close to GOD! Together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay.”
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” LUKE 12 : 25 – 26
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 16 – 18
Prayer: Lord, the temptation to be anxious or worry often tries to worm its way into my thoughts and my day, but when that happens, help me to quickly recognize the enemy sitting at my table and turn my thoughts to your promises and your presence and your truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:7-11 NKJV
A lot of Christians say God loves me just as I am and this is true, but he does not love our sin and wants us to change. Today’s prayer is that we would let God shape our lives without sin so that we can live a life that is pleasing to him in all areas……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 LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You must learn to discern what is GOD’S voice and what is not. Ask GOD’S Holy Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of GOD’S children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with GOD each moment, listening for HIS directives and enjoying HIS Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. The LORD’S sheep know HIS voice and follow The LORD wherever HE leads.”
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. JOHN 10 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to discern your voice. To know with certainty when you speak to me whether that’s through your word, your still small voice inside my heart, through peace, or through Godly people that it’s your voice, your words. And then help me to obey. In sweet Jesus’ name. Amen.
“If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of your sins, and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. Job 11:13-15 NLT
Is there a stronghold in your life that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here’s a hint SURRENDER!!!!! surrender all to God and let his grace see you out of the stronghold. Today’s prayer is that we would surrender all of our strongholds to God, for we as flesh cannot overcome them on our own…..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
“CHRIST THE LORD IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; all lasting Life emanates from The LORD. People search for life in many wrong ways: chasing after fleeting pleasures, accumulating possessions and wealth, trying to deny the inevitable effects of aging. Meanwhile, The LORD freely offers abundant Life to everyone who turns toward HIM. As you come to GOD and take HIS yoke upon you, The LORD fills you with HIS very Life. This is how GOD chooses to live in the world and accomplish HIS purposes. This is also how GOD blesses you with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. The Joy is GOD’S, and the Glory is GOD’S; but HE bestows them on you as you live in HIS Presence, inviting The LORD to live fully in you.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” JOHN 11 : 25
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 29
Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 PETER 1 : 8 – 9
Prayer: Jesus thank you for making a way for me to have eternal life with you. And not only when I die, but you offer me abundant life here and now, to the extent to which I surrender and follow you. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. Thank you sweet Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
“Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.” Isaiah 55:6-7 NLT
With all that is going on in the world today this should be all of our prayers!!! Pray that Russia would heed this and prayer for the safety of Ukraine, Today I pray that not only would we pray for those countries but also pray for the United States Of America !!!! God knows we need it and he is waiting to answer…….. 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
“WHEN SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS makes you anxious, come to GOD and talk about it. Bring GOD your prayer and petition with thanksgiving, saying: “Thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity to trust You more.” Though the lessons of trust that The LORD sends to you come wrapped in difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost. Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is The LORD’S Peace. CHRIST The LORD has promised to keep you in perfect Peace to the extent that you trust in HIM. The world has it backwards, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems. GOD’S Peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain GOD’S Peace you are rich indeed.”
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 (NKJV)
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26 : 3
Prayer: Though the road in life is bumpy and sometimes filled with heartache, thank you Jesus that your peace is independent of all circumstances. And to the extend that I place my trust in You, you promise to keep me in perfect peace. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
“Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.” Romans 13:1 NLT
Ok here we go for some this is hard to swallow, Our current government leaders are our current leaders! This scripture explains that all authorities are God appointed so instead of bashing we should be praying for them!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would not get caught up in the world’s way but the ways of God…….. 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
“STOP JUDGING AND EVALUATING YOURSELF, for this is not your role. Above all, stop comparing yourself with other people. This produces feelings of pride or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both. GOD leads each of HIS children along a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him or her. Comparing is not only wrong; it is also meaningless. Don’t look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own evaluations, or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is GOD’S unconditional Love. Many believers perceive GOD as an unpleasable Judge, angrily searching out their faults and failures. Nothing could be farther from the truth! JESUS CHRIST, The LORD died for your sins, so that HE might clothe you in HIS garments of salvation. This is how GOD sees you: radiant in CHRIST, The LORD’S robe of righteousness. When GOD disciplines you, it is never in anger or disgust; it is to prepare you for face-to-Face fellowship with The LORD throughout all eternity. Immerse yourself in GOD’S loving Presence. Be receptive to GOD’S affirmation, which flows continually from HIS throne of grace.”
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” LUKE 6 : 37
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” JOHN 3 : 17
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10 (NKJV)
Prayer: Jesus thank you for making a way so we can spend eternity with you. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined what the Lord has prepared for those who love him. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
