IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. | PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13, PROVERBS 17 : 22

https://youtu.be/MT7u7NPP3bw

“IT IS GOOD THAT YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS. That keeps you looking to GOD, Your Strength. Abundant life is not necessarily health and wealth; it is living in continual dependence on GOD. Instead of trying to fit this day into a preconceived mold, relax and be on the lookout for what The LORD is doing. This mind-set will free you to enjoy GOD and to find what HE has planned for you to do. This is far better than trying to make things go according to your own plan. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and laugh with The LORD. You have GOD on your side, so what are you worried about? GOD can equip you to do absolutely anything, as long as it is HIS will. The more difficult your day, the more The LORD yearns to help you. Anxiety wraps you up in yourself, trapping you in your own thoughts. When you look to GOD and whisper HIS Name, you break free and receive GOD’S help. Focus on The LORD, and you will find Peace in HIS Presence.”

Scripture

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  PHILIPPIANS 4 : 13

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

Prayer

Prayer: God help me not to take myself so seriously. To enjoy the blessings you’ve given me –  your peace and your presence. Help me release my plans and stay attentive to what You are doing today. When worry creeps in, turn my focus back to You and fill me with Your peace. Amen

1 Peter‬ ‭4 : 7 – 10

“The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter‬ ‭4 : 7 – 10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

My friends, this scripture sends not only a warning but also instruction. To be of a sober mind is to have the mind of CHRIST, and what kind of mind would that be? A mind that only serves the will of GOD. As for the end is near warning I fully believe this is true today as we look at all the situations in the world. Today’s prayer is that we would have the mind of JESUS CHRIST and walk a walk filled with love for all …… 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 LIVE above your circumstances. | JOHN 16 : 33, JOHN 16 : 22

https://youtu.be/PWaBfmpUSwI

“LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with GOD, the One who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only The LORD’S Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer. As you sit quietly in GOD’S Presence, HE shines Peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain The LORD’S perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in GOD’S Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.”

Scripture

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33 (NKJV) 

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. JOHN 16 : 22

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to live above my circumstances by keeping my focus on You. Fill my heart with Your peace and joy, lifting me beyond the troubles of this world. Give me Your perspective so I can walk by faith, not by sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm‬ ‭100 : 4

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭100 : 4

What are you thankful for today? Are you thankful in all things? The key to being thankful is in all things, because if you really look hard you will find a reason to be thankful in all things. Today’s prayer is that we would be thankful for the good and the bad, because GOD will turn the tests into testimonies, and the good for HIS 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

John‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 12

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John‬ ‭8‬ :‭ 12‬ NLT

JESUS CHRIST brought light into a darkened world, from the beginning GOD’S plan was to have a perfect life for mankind But that was lost in the garden win sin entered. Today JESUS CHRIST has conquered that sin once and for all!!! As believers we have that eternal light, that eternal life. Today I pray that even in this darkened world that we would let our light shine knowing the eternal promise we have in JESUS 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

‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭5‬

​​As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. ‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11 ‬: ‭5‬ NIV

Trying to figure out everything that is going on in the world and in your life will always end with the same result “you will never understand”. Worry and control are extremely exhausting, Today’s prayer is that we would trust in The LORD and all HIS ways, as The Bible says all things work for the good of those who love God …… 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

WAITING, TRUSTING, AND HOPING are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain.  | JOHN 14 : 1, PSALM 27 : 14

https://youtu.be/aBl0LhOiWWA

“WAITING, TRUSTING, AND HOPING are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand, because it is the response from GOD’S children that HE desires the most. Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand and strengthen the chain that connects you to GOD. Waiting for The LORD to work, with your eyes on HIM, is evidence that you really do trust HIM. If you mouth the words “GOD, I trust You” while anxiously trying to make things go your way, your words ring hollow. Hoping is future-directed, connecting you to your inheritance in Heaven. However, the benefits of hope fall fully on you in the present. Because you are GOD’S, you don’t just pass time in your waiting. You can wait expectantly, in hopeful trust. Keep your “antennae” out to pick up even the faintest glimmer of GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” JOHN 14 : 1 

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. PSALM 27 : 14 

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. HEBREWS 6 : 18 – 20

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, teach me to wait, trust, and hope in You, knowing that You are always working for my good. Strengthen my faith so that my trust is not just words, but a deep confidence in Your perfect timing. Help me to wait expectantly, with my eyes fixed on You. Amen.

John 21 : 20 – 22

Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.” John 21 : 20 – 22 NKJV

This scripture demonstrates a powerful nugget for all. JESUS CHRIST had just told Peter what his future would hold and his first reaction wasn’t “what should I do until that time?”, it was what about the other disciple. In the world today we live in a nosy, have to know about everybody. Today listen to what JESUS CHRIST tells you about yourself! Don’t worry about anybody else’s chosen path, GOD has gifted us with different gifts and assignments!!!! And all to HIS Glory. Look at what Peter accomplished when he focused on what work The LORD had for him……… 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

WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT | 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, GALATIANS 5 : 25

“WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. As you take steps of faith, depending on GOD, HE will show you how much HE can do for you. If you live your life too safely, you will never know the thrill of seeing GOD work through you. When The LORD gave you HIS Holy Spirit, The LORD empowered you to live beyond your natural ability and strength. That’s why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but GOD’S, which is limitless. By walking close to GOD, you can accomplish HIS purposes in HIS strength.”

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7 (NKJV) 

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. GALATIANS 5 : 25

Prayer:  Lord help me to walk by faith and not by sight. To depend on you and your strength which is limitless and not on my own strength. This requires a close connection with you Lord. Help me to live and keep in step with your Holy Spirit day by day, moment by moment. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1 ‬: ‭14

The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1 ‬: ‭14‬ NIV

Isn’t it nice to know that you are forgiven? And not only forgiven but unconditionally loved. GOD loved us so much that HE sent HIS Son JESUS CHRIST  for everyone who declares HIM Lord and Savior. When we miss the mark the devil jumps for joy knowing that condemnation will show up and pull us away from GOD, but when you truly understand Grace you will know that it empowers us to overcome our shortcomings and draw nearer to GOD. Today’s prayer is that we would truly understand Grace in its full measure, it’s not only unmerited favor it’s the power to overcome sin ……… 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
