DO NOT LONG for the absence of problems in your life. – JOHN 16 : 33, ISAIAH 41 : 13, PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

“DO NOT LONG for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal, since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth. Begin each day anticipating problems, asking GOD to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipment is GOD’S living Presence, HIS hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with GOD. Take a lighthearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and GOD together can handle. Remember that GOD is on your side, and The LORD has overcome the world.”

Scripture

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ISAIAH 41 : 13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

Prayer

Prayer: God thank you for your perfect plan. You have placed in me a deep desire for a problem free life because that’s the way Heaven is – my true home. But in the meantime help me to see problems as an opportunity to surrender to you, and depend on you more. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is the state you will have if you trust in the world, the world will bring temporary happiness and eternal sorrow. Today’s prayer is that we would have 100% trust in God and God alone……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

IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST GOD—really trust GOD—with your whole being, then nothing can separate you from GOD’S Peace. – GENESIS 50 : 20, PSALM 23 : 4

“IF YOU LEARN TO TRUST GOD—really trust GOD—with your whole being, then nothing can separate you from GOD’S Peace. Everything you endure can be put to good use by allowing it to train you in trusting GOD. This is how you foil the works of evil, growing in grace through the very adversity that was meant to harm you. Joseph was a prime example of this divine reversal, declaring to his brothers: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” Do not fear what this day, or any day, may bring your way. Concentrate on trusting GOD and on doing what needs to be done. Relax in GOD’S sovereignty, remembering that HE goes before you, as well as with you, into each day. Fear no evil, for GOD can bring good out of every situation you will ever encounter.”

Scripture

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. GENESIS 50 : 20 (NKJV)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. PSALM 23 : 4

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for using everything I endure for good. Help me to trust you more today, not fearing what’s up ahead because you go before me and are with me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭9

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ NLT

Are you striving to live a life of victory? Are you doing your best to be an example of Christ ? We as Christians should all be. This scripture talks about putting all we have learned into practice, are you making a daily effort to practice? Today I pray that God would give us direction and correction when we stray off the path and help us all be the example he intends for us to be…….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

COME TO GOD for all that you need. – PSALM 95 : 2, 1 JOHN 1 : 5

“COME TO GOD for all that you need. Come into The LORD’S Presence with thanksgiving, for thankfulness opens the door to HIS treasures. When you are thankful, you affirm the central truth that GOD is Good. GOD is Light, in whom there is no darkness at all. The assurance that GOD is entirely Good meets your basic need for security. Your life is not subject to the whims of a sin-stained deity. Relax in the knowledge that the One who controls your life is totally trustworthy. Come to The LORD with confident expectation. There is nothing you need that GOD cannot provide.”

Scripture

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. PSALM 95 : 2

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 JOHN 1 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you that you are good, you are love, you are light in whom there is no darkness. You are constant and unchanging. Help me to come to you for all my needs – big and small. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The day you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior you became reborn, a new person! Have you embraced that new person? That great day you became the property of Jesus and that means Jesus is in you. The fact that Jesus is in you means you should strive to be more like Jesus. See how many times I used Jesus? He is the key. Today’s prayer is that we would fully understand that Jesus has been inside of our spirit since the day we decided to follow, striving to be more like 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

Jude‬ ‭1:25

“All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Our life as Christians was not able to happen without the Cross. That final day of the life of Jesus on this earth started eternal life for all those who call upon his name and confess him Lord and Savior. Today’s prayer is that we would extend the same grace by telling all what Jesus did that we could have eternal life, it’s a choice that he freely gives each and everyone!!! But if they don’t hear, how can they make that choice? ………….. 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

‭‭James‬ ‭1:14-15‬

“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Temptation is not the sin, what giving into the temptation produces is sin. We are tempted in many different ways daily and I believe our closeness to God determines how we react to temptation. Today’s prayer is that our relationship would be so strong with God that temptation has no impact…….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 CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. – MATTHEW 6 : 24, REVELATION 2 : 4, EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17, PSALM 16 : 11

“YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. If GOD is truly your Master, you will desire to please HIM above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when you give them this power over you. If GOD is the Master of your life, The LORD will also be your First Love. Your serving GOD is rooted and grounded in GOD’S vast, unconditional Love for you. The lower you bow down before The LORD, the higher GOD lifts you up into an intimate relationship with HIM. The Joy of living in The LORD’S Presence outshines all other pleasures. GOD wants you to reflect HIS joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with HIM.”

Scripture

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” MATTHEW 6 : 24

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 16 – 17

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. PSALM 16 : 11

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to truly understand that the joy of living in your presence outshines all other pleasures this world could offer. To focus on pleasing you above people and reflecting your light in an increasingly dark world. A world desperate for a Savior. May I reflect your bright light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭130:3-4‬

“If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭130:3-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Isn’t it nice to know that the Lord keeps no record of our sin, can you imagine if he did? We would be in a world of trouble. Today’s prayer is that we would walk in obedience to the Lord and his ways, never take advantage of the cross, but take the time daily to thank God for the cross……Be Blessed
