“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV
With all the signs in the world today it’s critical to be alert! When you leave your house, when you are out at night at the grocery store, etc, etc, etc. continuous prayer is essential, ask the father to provide a hedge of protection for all your loved ones. Love all and show that love continually. Today’s prayer is that we would serve God with all we have and love all that we come across…….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
“WAIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while HIS thoughts form silently in the depths of your being. Do not try to rush this process, because hurry keeps your heart earthbound. GOD is the Creator of the entire universe, yet HE chooses to make HIS humble home in your heart. It is there where you know The LORD most intimately; it is there where The LORD speaks to you in holy whispers. Ask GOD’S Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can hear HIS still, small voice within you. GOD is speaking to you continually: words of Life . . . Peace . . . Love. Tune your heart to receive these messages of abundant blessing. Lay your requests before GOD and wait in expectation.”
And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 1 KINGS 19 : 12 (NKJV)
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. PSALM 5 : 3
Prayer: Lord quiet my mind so I can hear your still small voice, guide me and lead me. I lay my concerns and my requests at your feet and wait in expectation, knowing you have a good plan. Thank you for speaking to me continually words of life, peace, and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“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
“TRY TO SEE THINGS more and more from GOD’S perspective. Let the Light of GOD’S Presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through The LORD. When little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to GOD lightheartedly and say, “Oh, well.” This simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to GOD, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart. When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary, compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.”
A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way? PROVERBS 20 : 24
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17 – 18
Prayer: God help me to see things from your perspective today. To shrug off worries and return my focus to you, where there is unending peace and joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV
One of the most difficult things to overcome in the natural world is to put bad thoughts out of your mind, how are we going to pay the mortgage, why can’t I get ahead in life? Negative thoughts will eventually take over in the form of actual situations if you don’t know what God’s word says about that situation. Today’s prayer is when negative thoughts enter your mind, confess God’s word and get rid of that ” stinkin thinkin”. We are more than conquerors through Christ 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
“You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.” Luke 6:36 Can you imagine if God treated us with the same measure as we treat people? Wow what a disaster!!!! If God shows us his Grace 24/7 365 days a year should we not do the same? Today’s prayer is we would treat ALL with compassion just as our Heavenly Father does 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
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, Philippians 1:9-10 NKJV
Love is a funny thing, Jesus said love everyone like yourself, that is one of the most difficult things to do. The key to this scripture is to listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit…..Jesus loved the sinner but hated the sin……today I pray we can all be like Jesus in the way of loving one another and being good to all, even the ones we don’t care 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
“YOU WILL NOT FIND GOD’S PEACE by engaging in excessive planning: attempting to control what will happen to you in the future. That is a commonly practiced form of unbelief. When your mind spins with multiple plans, Peace may sometimes seem to be within your grasp; yet it always eludes you. Just when you think you have prepared for all possibilities, something unexpected pops up and throws things into confusion. GOD did not design the human mind to figure out the future. That is beyond your capability. GOD crafted your mind for continual communication with HIM. Bring GOD all your needs, your hopes and fears. Commit everything into GOD’S care. Turn from the path of planning to the path of Peace.”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 PETER 5 : 6 – 7
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. PSALM 37 : 5 (NKJV)
Prayer: God I bring you all my needs, my hopes, and my fears. I lay them at the cross. I commit them into your care. Help me to turn from the path of excessive planning to excessive peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13:15-17 NIV
This scripture is a great reminder of how I always want to be, I have always prided myself on leading by example and not by dictatorship and I believe this is what Jesus is talking about here. Today’s prayer is that we would all put this scripture into place in our lives and please our Lord more and more
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 DESIGNED YOU to live in union with HIM. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of GOD, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts. Find fulfillment through living close to The LORD, yielding to HIS purposes for you. Though GOD may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that GOD knows what HE is doing. If you follow GOD wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. The LORD knows you intimately —far better than you know yourself. In union with GOD, you are complete. In closeness to GOD, you are transformed more and more into the one HE designed you to be.”
“What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” MARK 8 : 36
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. PSALM 139 : 13 – 16
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 17 – 18
Prayer: Lord you know me intimately, better than I know myself because you created me. You created me for your pleasure and purpose. Keep me close to you and transform me to look more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
