‭‭Jonah‬ ‭1 : 1 – 3

“The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.” ‭‭Jonah‬ ‭1 : 1 – 3‬ ‭NIV

Jonah ran from The Lord because he was afraid of the people of Nineveh. The people of Nineveh were wicked and evil, even though he ran he could never get away from what GOD called him to do. Has GOD called you to take his message to a particular people but you’re too afraid to take HIS message to all but you don’t have the courage? Just as GOD gave Jonah the words and courage he will do the same for you. Today’s prayer is when you are convicted to witness to someone that is GOD’S Jonah call to you! Don’t be afraid GOD will provide the words …….. Be Blessed, Be Courageous 

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

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬ :‭ 13‬

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. ‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬ :‭ 13‬ NLT 

This is a scripture that should be used every morning before starting our day. Some days start so smooth and by the first hour you are ready for it to be over. The devil takes joy when that point comes, his intention is turmoil in our lives to steal the joy. Today I pray that we all would stay clothed in GOD’S armor, stay in The Word of GOD daily to keep your sword sharp ……. 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 IS THE FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate GOD’S Presence. – PSALM 5 : 11, EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21 , JUDE 24 – 25, JOSHUA 1 : 5

“GOD IS THE FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate GOD’S Presence. This is The LORD’S high and holy calling for you; receive it as a precious gift. Glorifying and enjoying GOD is a higher priority than maintaining a tidy, structured life. Give up your striving to keep everything under control—an impossible task and a waste of precious energy. GOD’S guidance for each of HIS children is unique. That’s why listening to The LORD is so vital for your well-being. Let The LORD prepare you for the day that awaits you and point you in the right direction. GOD is with you continually, so don’t be intimidated by fear. Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to GOD’S hand. Keep your eyes on GOD, enjoying Peace in The LORD’S Presence.”

Scripture

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. PSALM 5 : 11 

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. EPHESIANS 3 : 20 – 21 

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. JUDE 24 – 25 

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. JOSHUA 1 : 5

Prayer

Prayer:  Jesus Christ, you are my rock and firm foundation on which I stand, all other rocks are sinking sand. Help me to glorify and enjoy you more than trying to keep a tidy life. In Jesus name. Amen.

John‬ ‭3 : 30

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 30‬ ‭NKJV

Are you always choosing what best fills your desire? Do you choose you first or God first? Today’s prayer is that we would start each day with this prayer, Lord have your way in my day, strengthen me with your Holy Spirit and let my day be less of me and more of you! In Jesus Name …….. 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 ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD.  – EPHESIANS 1 : 4, PROVERBS 16 : 9, JEREMIAH 29 : 11, EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

“YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD. GOD chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with HIM along paths designed uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with The LORD, instead of trying to anticipate HIS plans for you. If you trust that GOD’S plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment. Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes GOD grants you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to GOD. GOD sets the pace in keeping with your needs and HIS purposes.”

Scripture

. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. EPHESIANS 1 : 4 (NKJV) 

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. PROVERBS 16 : 9 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29 : 11 

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. EPHESIANS 1 : 13 – 14

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank You for calling me Your beloved child. It’s humbling to know You chose me before time began and You walk with me every step of the way. Help me not to rush ahead or worry about what’s next, but to stay in step with You. Amen.

Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1 – 2

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91 : 1 – 2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Where do you dwell? Who do you trust? To dwell in the world will bring worldly results, to trust in the world will bring worldly results, but living a life dependent on GOD will produce Godly results. Today’s prayer is that in all we do we do it with the mind of Christ …… 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

LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. – PROVERBS 17 : 22, PROVERBS 31 : 25, MATTHEW 1 : 23, MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

“LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that The LORD IS GOD with you. When you desire GOD’S will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor The LORD’S responsibilities — things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so GOD delights in hearing HIS children laugh. The LORD rejoices when you trust HIM enough to enjoy your life lightheartedly. Do not miss the Joy of GOD”S Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take The LORD’S yoke upon you and learn from HIM. GOD’S yoke is comfortable and pleasant; GOD’S burden is light and easily borne.”

Scripture

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17 : 22 

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. PROVERBS 31 : 25 

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.” MATTHEW 1 : 23 

 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  MATTHEW 11 : 28 – 30

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for the gentle reminder not to take myself so seriously. You are God—and I am not. Help me release what isn’t mine to carry and rest in the freedom of knowing You’re in control. Teach me to laugh more, to enjoy life with childlike trust, and to find joy even in the ordinary. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 4

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! ‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬ :‭ 4‬ NLT

Has someone or something taken your joy? Well it’s temporary. Joy in things of the world will at some point leave you wanting something more, something bigger, but joy in The Lord, our one true hope will never leave us craving more. Today I pray that whatever brings you joy would be put aside and your true joy would come from the Lord ….. Be Blessed

STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH GOD. – EPHESIANS 2 : 10, MICAH 6 : 8

“STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH GOD. Many voices clamor for your attention, trying to divert you to another path. But GOD has called you to walk ever so closely with HIM, soaking in The LORD’S Presence, living in HIS Peace. This is The LORD’S unique design for you, planned before the world began. GOD has called each of HIS children to a different path, distinctly designed for that one. Do not let anyone convince you that their path is the only right way. And be careful not to extol your path as superior to another’s way. What GOD requires of you is to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with GOD —wherever HE leads.”

Scripture

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. EPHESIANS 2 : 10 

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. MICAH 6 : 8

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to walk ever so close to you today, soaking in your presence, living in your peace. To be close and still enough to hear your voice and follow wherever you lead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Romans‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭15 ‬- ‭20‬

“I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.” Romans‬ ‭7 ‬: ‭15 ‬- ‭20‬ ‭

We all want to do right but do wrong!!! This is human nature!!! Sin was in us at birth and we battle it everyday! Paul says I want to do what’s right but do what’s wrong, sound familiar? Today’s prayer is that we let the Holy Spirit convict us of our wrong and help us do what’s right ….. Be Blessed and pray for the help
