THERE IS A MIGHTY BATTLE going on for control of your mind. – PSALM 27 : 8, ROMANS 8 : 6, 1 JOHN 2 : 15 – 17

https://youtu.be/ASWFWD731Dg

“THERE IS A MIGHTY BATTLE going on for control of your mind. Heaven and earth intersect in your mind; the tugs of both spheres influence your thinking. GOD created you with the capacity to experience foretastes of heaven. When you shut out the world and focus on GOD’S Presence, you can enjoy sitting with HIM in heavenly realms. This is an incredible privilege reserved for precious ones who belong to GOD and seek HIS Face. Your greatest strength is your desire to spend time communing with GOD. As you concentrate on The LORD, HIS Holy Spirit fills your mind with Life and Peace. The world exerts a downward pull on your thoughts. Media bombard you with greed, lust, and cynicism. When you face these things, pray for protection and discernment. Stay in continual communication with GOD whenever you walk through the wastelands of this world. Refuse to worry, because this form of worldliness will weigh you down and block awareness of The LORD’S Presence. Stay alert, recognizing the battle being waged against your mind. Look forward to an eternity of strife-free living, reserved for you in heaven.”

Scripture

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. PSALM 27 : 8

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. ROMANS 8 : 6

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 1 JOHN 2 : 15 – 17

Prayer

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for allowing me to feel foretastes of Heaven here on earth. Holy Spirit control my mind today, help me to pay attention to what I let in my mind and how it impacts me. I look so forward to strife-free living in Heaven. Thank you Jesus for making a way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Philippians‬ ‭4:4-6

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Anxiety is all around us in the world today, are you Anxious? This scripture tells us to Rejoice!!!!! And to Pray in all situations. Today’s prayer is that we would always be thankful for all we have and all we do not, because we have the most important thing of all Jesus……. Be Blessed and Be Thankful

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. – PROVERBS 20 : 24, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 17 – 18

https://youtu.be/zL6WI3LRxL0

“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 HIM. 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 The LORD, 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.”

Scripture

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

Prayer: Lord, help me to see my problems from your perspective, remembering they are temporary and each trial can draw me closer to you. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you and to keep eternity in mind, where there will be no more pain, suffering, or trials of any kind. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John‬ ‭16:1-3‬

““All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭16:1-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you ever wonder why as a believer you endure persecution? When you became a Christian were you under the impression that life was going perfect? Well the Bible tells us the complete opposite of that. Jesus said you will be persecuted in his name and that is what will happen in this broken Godless world. Today’s prayer is that we would take joy when we are persecuted in our Lord’s name!! Jesus is there with us at all times, lean on him and all will be good…….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

SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. – MATTHEW 6 : 33, JOHN 8 : 29, COLOSSIANS 3 : 23 – 24

https://youtu.be/wEjBSReQDlk

“SEEK TO PLEASE GOD above all else. Let that goal be your focal point as you go through this day. Such a mind-set will protect you from scattering your energy to the winds. The free will GOD bestowed on you comes with awesome responsibility. Each day presents you with choice after choice. Many of these decisions you ignore and thus make by default. Without a focal point to guide you, you can easily lose your way. That’s why it is so important to stay in communication with GOD, living in thankful awareness of HIS Presence. You inhabit a fallen, disjointed world, where things are constantly unraveling around the edges. Only a vibrant relationship with GOD can keep you from unraveling also.”

Scripture

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” MATTHEW 6 : 33

“The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” JOHN 8 : 29

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. COLOSSIANS 3 : 23 – 24

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, I want to seek to please you above all else. Protect me from scattering my energy to the wind. Help me to do everything as if working for you. To be a spouse of excellence, a parent of excellence, and a friend of excellence – with your help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Matthew‬ ‭25:34-40

““Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” Matthew‬ ‭25:34-40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This scripture is so powerful!!! Jesus speaks of helping those in need, beings that he considers all creation his. When was the last time you lent a helping hand to a complete stranger? When was the last time you made a selfless act of kindness? Today’s prayer is that we would see Jesus in all we come across and treat them as if they were the most special person on earth…….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

Proverbs‬ ‭1:5‬

“A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Have you ever met that “know it all person”? That “been there done that person” I think we all have, and I think we all have been that person to some extent at some point. To be wise is to be humble and continue to learn, to have been there done that is to take a life lesson out of each experience and see if we are using it to Glorify God! Today’s prayer is to apply this Proverb to our lives and pray for the wisdom of Solomon……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

Proverbs‬ ‭27:17

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you encouraging your brothers and sisters in Christ or discouraging them? One of the biggest attributes of the Church is encouragement. When a brother or sister needs help, direction, discernment, or just encouragement make sure to be there for them. Today’s prayer is that we would keep each other sharp and focused on the advancement of God’s kingdom…….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

1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ NLT

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. ‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ NLT

Isn’t it nice to know that this is how God feels about us, He loves us so much that we are his chosen people. The world says hold your own and watch out for number one but as God’s chosen people we should show the same love and compassion as he does. Today I pray that we all would show that same love, as hard as it is and to remember the mercy and grace that we have been given……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

WORSHIP GOD by living close to HIM. – GENESIS 2 : 7, PSALM 89 : 15, ROMANS 12 : 1 – 2

https://youtu.be/Gix7ZuqcNYA

“WORSHIP GOD by living close to HIM. This was GOD’S original design for man, into whom GOD breathed HIS very breath of Life. This is GOD’S desire for you: that you stay near HIM as you walk along your life-path. Each day is an important part of that journey. Although you may feel as if you are going nowhere in this world, your spiritual journey is another matter altogether, taking you along steep, treacherous paths of adventure. That is why walking in the Light of The LORD’S Presence is essential to keep you from stumbling. By staying close to GOD, you present yourself as a living sacrifice. Even the most routine part of your day can be a spiritual act of worship, holy and pleasing to GOD.”

Scripture

The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. GENESIS 2 : 7

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 1 – 2

Prayer

Prayer: Lord without you I can do nothing of eternal significance. I surrender my will for yours today Lord and ask you to align my heart with yours. Help me to walk closely with you on life’s journey, to love you and love others well. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
