“I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.” Philippians 1:9-10 NLT
Simple way to live!!! To love all regardless of their situation and keep growing in your knowledge of the Lord!!! Today I pray we all can set our differences aside and forgive!!!! Live a life of love as we are not promised tomorrow…..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
“ENTRUST YOUR LOVED ONES TO GOD; release them into GOD’S protective care. They are much safer with The LORD than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in your heart, you endanger that one—as well as yourself. Remember the extreme measures GOD used with Abraham and Isaac. HE took Isaac to the very point of death in order to free Abraham from son-worship. Both Abraham and Isaac suffered terribly because of the father’s undisciplined emotions. GOD detests idolatry, even in the form of parental love. When you release loved ones to GOD, you are free to cling to HIS hand. As you entrust others into The LORD’S care, The LORD is free to shower blessings on them. GOD’S Presence will go with them wherever they go, and HE will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you relax and place your trust in GOD. Watch to see what The LORD will do.”
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” GENESIS 22 : 9 – 12
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. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 20
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Prayer: Lord, I release my loved ones to you. You know the ones I tend to hold onto a bit too tight. They are safest in your capable hands, which frees my hand to cling to yours. You are so good, Father. Thank you, thank you. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, Ephesians 4:26 NLT
Forgiveness is sometimes very difficult, someone who has wronged you, a past relationship, someone or something that has just wronged you!!! But as God has forgiven us so should we forgive everyone, sometimes it seems impossible to forgive but think of if God had not forgiven us…….Today I pray that God would give us all a forgiving heart just as he has and let us realize that hurt is only temporary, because there is something way better in your future……..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
“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 62:5-6
Circumstances can consume your day and even your life. The key to peace is where it comes from. The Lord is the only true peace we have, to trust and depend on him is key. Today’s prayer is that our foundation would be the Lord! Don’t look at the problem, look through the problem the solution is on the other side waiting, Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…..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 GOD, and don’t be afraid. GOD wants you to view trials as exercises designed to develop your trust-muscles. You live in the midst of fierce spiritual battles, and fear is one of Satan’s favorite weapons. When you start to feel afraid, affirm your trust in GOD. Speak out loud, if circumstances permit. Resist the devil in The LORD’S Name, and he will slink away from you. Refresh yourself in GOD’S holy Presence. Speak or sing praises to GOD, and HIS Face will shine radiantly upon you. Remember that there is no condemnation for those who belong to GOD. You have been judged NOT GUILTY for all eternity. Trust GOD, and don’t be afraid; for GOD is your Strength, Song, and Salvation.”
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. JAMES 4 : 7
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2
Prayer: Lord, help me to view trials as opportunities to develop my trust muscles in you. When I start to feel anxious or afraid, help me speak the name of Jesus and remember I am Heaven bound. Everything else is preparation for eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. John 17:22-23 NLT
Jesus said he gave us perfect unity so that our witness will be different from the world, how is your witness working out? Do you respond to the situations like someone who doesn’t know Jesus? Or do you respond on the values of the promise he gave us? Today I pray that our responses would be filled with faith and on the foundation of God’s living word and promise…..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
“Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.” Hebrews 13:2-3
It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race of life that we overlook the God moments that he sets in front of our faces daily. It’s so easy to judge those on the streets and say ” they just want to go buy a drink” but is that for us to judge? What if God passed that same judgement on us? God loved us at our lowest moments in life! Don’t you think we should do the same? Today’s prayer is that we would slow down and show the same love that God showed us, take every opportunity to witness the love of Jesus, preach to someone, not at them……..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
“For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13 NKJV
The definition of Liberty is “Freedom”. This scripture speaks of freedom and say do not use it as a free pass to sin. Grace brings freedom by the Cross, and all things are made new by Jesus Christ. Today’s prayer is we would all embrace our freedom in Christ and strive to be more like him in every way. I pray we do not use our freedom to satisfy ourselves, but to do a good work 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
“GOD CONTINUALLY CALLS YOU to closeness with HIM. GOD knows the depth and breadth of your need for HIM. The LORD can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from HIM. GOD offers rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in The LORD, other pleasures become less important. Knowing GOD intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from The LORD’S throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances. Waiting in GOD’S Presence keeps you connected to GOD, aware of all that HE offers you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on The LORD. This is how you trust GOD in the moments of your life.”
But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. PSALM 131 : 2
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. PSALM 21 : 6
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7
Prayer: Lord keep me close to you, where there is rest for my soul and refreshment for my mind and body. When my mind wanders anxiously, remind me to bring it back to its center in Christ. Where you fill me with joy and peace independent of my circumstances. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties. The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for GOD. When you became a Christian, The LORD infused HIS very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on GOD. Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle. This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade. It is precisely where GOD wants you—the best place to encounter GOD is in HIS Glory and Power. When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to GOD! Allow GOD to fight for you. Watch The LORD working on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of GOD’S Almighty Presence.”
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, . . .” REVELATION 19 : 1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. PSALM 91 : 1
Prayer: God, thank you for allowing me to be in situations beyond my capabilities so I can rely on you to fill in the gaps and fight my battles for me. Over and over you prove yourself faithful and trustworthy. Thank you for being my Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
