“For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
As believers all of our sins were judged at the cross! But the second judgement will come before Jesus himself. That judgement will be for what we did as believers, did you just use your salvation as fire insurance? Or did you use your salvation to witness the gospel to all you could? Today’s prayer is that we would all use what God gave us to operate in a way that brings God glory…….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 YOUR SINS WEIGH HEAVILY upon you, come to GOD. Confess your wrongdoing, which The LORD knows all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of GOD’S Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that GOD has clothed you in HIS righteousness, so nothing can separate you from The LORD. Whenever you stumble or fall, GOD is there to help you up. Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But The LORD is the Light of the world, and HIS illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to GOD and let GOD’S Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 JOHN 1 : 7
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8 : 1
Prayer: Lord thank you for your amazing grace when I mess up every time. You know my desire is to obey you but I often fall short. Help me to stay close to you today and let your light envelop me, driving out any darkness and permeating me with your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”” Matthew 17:18-20 NIV
Have you ever had a moment where you have no doubt that you can handle the situation? That you are 100% sure you can get it done? That my friends is having faith in yourself, Do you have that same faith in Jesus? Today’s prayer is that we would know that through the blood of Christ we can overcome anything!!! Any stronghold,depression, or any other thing that takes hold of you. Put all of your trust in Jesus and see that with his guidance you can overcome all things………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 WANTS YOU TO KNOW how safe and secure you are in HIS Presence. That is a fact, totally independent of your feelings. You are on your way to heaven; nothing can prevent you from reaching that destination. There you will see GOD face to Face, and your Joy will be off the charts by any earthly standards. Even now, you are never separated from GOD, though you must see GOD through eyes of faith. The LORD will walk with you till the end of time, and onward into eternity. Although GOD’S Presence is a guaranteed promise, that does not necessarily change your feelings. When you forget GOD is with you, you may experience loneliness or fear. It is through awareness of GOD’S Presence that Peace displaces negative feelings. Practice the discipline of walking consciously with The LORD through each day.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 CORINTHIANS 13 : 12
The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. PSALM 29 : 11
Prayer: Jesus thank you for keeping me safe and secure in your presence. Independent of my feelings that sometimes change like the wind blows. I can only imagine and look so forward to the day I will see you face to face in Heaven. Until then, you are with me always till the end of the age. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. (Psalms 46:1 NLT)
Are you going through a trial? Is there something coming against you or your family? The psalmist says God is our refuge, our strength. It may look impossible to you but nothing is impossible for God. Today I pray that we all would hand our trials over to God, for he is waiting to take them. Rest in the finished work and let your faith take over……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 with your plans held in suspension. Worship GOD in spirit and in truth, allowing The LORD’S Glory to permeate your entire being. Trust GOD enough to let HIM guide you through this day, accomplishing HIS purposes in HIS timing. Subordinate your myriad plans to GOD’S Master Plan. GOD is sovereign over every aspect of your life! The challenge continually before you is to trust The LORD and search for HIS way through each day. Do not blindly follow your habitual route, or you will miss what GOD has prepared for you. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are GOD’S ways higher than your ways and HIS thoughts than your thoughts.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” JOHN 4 : 24
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” ISAIAH 55 : 8 – 9 (NKJV)
Prayer: Lord I hand over my plans to you and surrender to your will. You know better than I do. Show me each step of the way and allow your light to permeate my entire being as I lean on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” Ephesians 1:5-7 NIV
To truly understand what Jesus did for us is mind blowing! If God had not sent Jesus to the cross for all of us we would have never had the chance to get into right standing with God. When God sees us he sees us through Jesus, so therefore he sees perfection. Today I pray that we would never forget the grace that has been given to us freely and undeserved. Praise Jesus in all things and be thankful for all you have, the alternative would have been brutal……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
“SPENDING TIME alone with GOD is essential for your well-being. It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity. Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with GOD. Remember that Satan is the accuser of believers. He delights in heaping guilt feelings upon you, especially when you are enjoying GOD’S Presence. When you feel Satan’s arrows of accusation, you are probably on the right track. Use your shield of faith to protect yourself from him. Talk with GOD about what you are experiencing, and ask GOD to show you the way forward. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to GOD, and GOD will come near to you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. “For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.” REVELATION 12 : 10
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. EPHESIANS 6 : 16
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. JAMES 4 : 7 – 8
Prayer: God help me to prioritize spending time alone each day with you. I know this is essential for my well-being and essential for my soul. When the enemy tries to put lies in my head or divide my family, help me to put on my full armor and fight back with the sword of the Spirit, your word just as Jesus did. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
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. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God. (Philippians 1:9-11 NLT)
How are you reacting to situations that catch you off guard? Are you being led by a loving God, or by a worldly reaction? We as believers need to strive to be like Jesus in our every moment. Today I pray that we would ask God for the knowledge to fit every reaction and handle them as Christ did…..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
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. (Galatians 5:16-17 NLT)
Need direction? Always trying to do better but seem to stay the same? This scripture says to let the Holy Spirit direct you and then you won’t be caught in the sinful nature. Today I pray we all would let the spirit direct our paths and see how life becomes more fulfilling…….Be Blessed
