JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD IS THE GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. – ISAIAH 26 : 3, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17, MARK 10 : 15

https://youtu.be/OYLl6IvH82c

“JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD IS THE GOD WHO GIVES and gives and gives. When JESUS CHRIST died for you on the cross, The LORD held back nothing; HE poured out HIS Life like a drink offering. Because giving is inherent in The LORD’S nature, HE searches for people who are able to receive in full measure. To increase your intimacy with GOD, the two traits you need the most are receptivity and attentiveness. Receptivity is opening up your innermost being to be filled with GOD’S abundant riches. Attentiveness is directing your gaze to GOD: searching for The LORD in all your moments. It is possible to stay your mind on The LORD, as the prophet Isaiah wrote. Through such attentiveness you receive a glorious gift: GOD’S perfect Peace.”

Scripture

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. ISAIAH 26 : 3 (NKJV)

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 17

“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” MARK 10 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, You poured out everything for me, holding nothing back, and I am in awe of Your generosity. Help me to be open and attentive to You, ready to receive all You offer and to see You in every moment of my life. Fill me with Your perfect peace as I rest in Your abundant love. Amen.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8 : 6

“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8 : 6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

What things are your mind set on? Money? Material things? This scripture is explicit on not doing that!!! True peace only comes from God and nothing else. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray to change what things are always on our mind ahead of God and make the flip to only having our mind on God and God alone ……. 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 Corinthians‬ ‭15 : 58‬

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15 : 58‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you ever feel like your work for the Lord is all for nothing? Do you feel like you’re not reaching anyone? This scripture tells us that all of our witness is and will reach the people. We will probably never know what impact we may have had on someone, but the Lord knows. Today’s prayer is that we would never give up telling people what Jesus has done in our life and will do in theirs ……. 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 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬ : ‭12

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬ : ‭12‬ ESV

Do you have an identity crisis? Are you searching for who you truly are? Do you see a reflection of the things of Jesus Christ or the world? This scripture explains that we see a dim image, as Christians we are the righteousness of Jesus, we may not appear that way in the natural world but spiritually we are. Today I pray that we would all know our identity, that one day we will stand face to face with our Lord and truly see who we are ….. 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

BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. – ROMANS 12 : 2, REVELATION 2 : 4, COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

https://youtu.be/lrTNXayPbPM

“BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with GOD. While you wait in The LORD’S Presence, GOD does HIS best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with GOD, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what The LORD has planned for you. Do not seek GOD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, The Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift GOD might impart to you. Though GOD delight in blessing HIS children, The LORD is deeply grieved when HIS blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from GOD as your First Love. When GOD is the ultimate Desire of your heart, you are safe from the danger of idolatry. As you wait in The LORD’S Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the hope of Glory!”

Scripture

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 : 2

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, help me to be still in Your Presence, setting aside the distractions that clamor for my attention. Renew my mind as I wait with You, teaching me to value the Giver above every gift You provide. May You always be my First Love and the ultimate desire of my heart

Psalms‬ ‭52 : 8‬

“But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭52 : 8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Most of the time we can be our worst critics, we judge ourselves according to the world’s standards but in reality this is how we are viewed by our Heavenly Father. Today’s prayer is that we would realize we can never be perfect by the world’s standards (which is OK) but we will always be perfect in God’s eyes …… Be Blessed and shed the condemnation

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 ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what The LORD will do. – LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26, ISAIAH 40 : 31, PSALM 16 : 11

https://youtu.be/7RkPvI31JpE

“WAITING ON GOD means directing your attention to GOD in hopeful anticipation of what The LORD will do. It entails trusting GOD with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself. Waiting on The LORD is the way HE designed you to live: all day, every day. GOD created you to stay conscious of HIM as you go about your daily duties. GOD has promised many blessings to those who wait on HIM: renewed strength, living above one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of HIS continual Presence. Waiting on GOD enables you to glorify GOD by living in deep dependence on HIM, ready to do HIS will. It also helps you to enjoy GOD; in GOD’S Presence is fullness of Joy.”

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. LAMENTATIONS 3 : 24 – 26

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40 : 31

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16 : 11 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you with every fiber of my being and depend on you moment by moment. Teach me to stay conscious of Your Presence, surrendering my need to figure everything out and put my trust and hope in your will and plan. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13 : 5

“But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭13 : 5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sometimes it’s hard to grasp the mercy of God, we fail daily but the Lord is right there to pick us up and put us back on the straight path. Our salvation is our everything and we need to thank the Lord daily. Today’s prayer is when we miss the mark and fall into sin we understand our counselor is right there waiting with arms wide open, repent and ask for guidance ……. 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

LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. – 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10, HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

https://youtu.be/_5iCq-pw9aM

“LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. A thankful mind-set keeps you in touch with GOD. GOD hates it when HIS children grumble, casually despising HIS sovereignty. Thankfulness is a safeguard against this deadly sin. Furthermore, a grateful attitude becomes a lens through which you perceive life. Gratitude enables you to see the Light of GOD’S Presence shining on all your circumstances. Cultivate a thankful heart, for this glorifies GOD and fills you with Joy.”

Scripture

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 : 10

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” HEBREWS 12 : 28 – 29

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to let thankfulness temper all my thoughts and let thankfulness be the grid through which I perceive life. Thank you for the breath in my lungs, a warm bed to sleep in, and a Heavenly Father who thought I was worth dying for. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭17 : 1‬

“Hear me, Lord, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭17 : 1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are your prayers just? Are your prayers so transparent that there is such naked truth? This Psalm is a pure plea from a pure heart, as our prayers should be. I believe some prayers are self focused instead of correction/deliverance focused . Today’s prayer is pure from my heart, I pray that we all would speak to GOD with a pure transparent heart! That we would be stripped down naked and totally innocent of what we want!!! GOD is just and GOD always answers our prayers if they are truly needed …… 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
