Who Is Your Master?

 "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do," emphasizing that we serve God rather than human masters.Romans 6:23-24

What or who do you owe allegiance to? What do you spend the most time doing? Is your Bible still important in your life or is it collecting dust somewhere on a shelf ? Do you take time daily to spend time in prayer? 

A Bible that is falling apart is usually owned by someone who is not. Think about that for a while. Some faiths may teach you to not even read it or not write in it but it is your guidebook through life and must be used. 

How can you defeat the enemy if you don’t know scriptures to do it with? Be in a church that teaches you how to do spiritual warfare. Your life has a purpose so don’t squander it dabbling in lies if the devil. Stand strong and run your race to win. 

PRAYER: Father use me to help draw others to you. Forgive me when I have ignored you or spent more time in the world than with you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Anxiety Disables You

 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."John 14:27

Is something heavy on your heart right now and you can’t seem to shake it? It is a horrible feeling to not have a settled mind and to not have peace. 

No matter what is weighing on you it is essential you release it to God, believe me easier said than done. Anxiety is not from God. 

Whatever is troubling you today my friend cry out to God and release it to him cause your worry does nothing thing but perhaps make you sick. Press in to pursue God’s peace. 

PRAYER: Lord help me truly let go of garbage in my mind pulling me away from you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

I’ve Got This-Leave It!

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10 What are you waiting on my friend? It is hard to be still and wait. Your heart is hurting and you have cried out to God trying to not orchestrate things yourself. There is only one Holy Spirit so let Him do His job. Today trust Him with your burdens and needs. Trust Him with that family member you have been crying out for. Trust Him to work. But it is so hard to wait Lord you may say. Yes waiting is difficult especially when you see nothing happening. God hears you just be still. PRAYER: Lord Jesus help me trust you and know you are in control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Moms Out There How You Doing?

"Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward." Psalm 127:3 So who invented Mother’s Day anyway? Not every mom today is jumping for joy as her heart aches over things in her life. There are even incarcerated moms longing for connection with their children. So if you are giddy and jumping up and down today remember there are moms with broken hearts with pain too deep to explain. Things like estrangement, broken marriages, broken homes, unforgiving spirits, suicide or death of a child can all affect moms today. If you know of someone dealing with Mother’s Day pain do something kind today. Children indeed are a gift from the Lord each and every baby boy or baby girl who came into this world has a purpose and if you are a mom be thankful that God chose you to be their mom. PRAYER: Father thank you for the gift of motherhood which some ladies never get to enjoy or experience. Be with those whose hearts are wounded today. Get them through this day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Seeking Peace

 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3

How do you seek after peace? How do you recognize if something is from God or a fleeting emotion? 

In life it is best to pursue things that do keep you peaceful and not tense. Perhaps you are dealing with mixed up emotions due to family issues and you are trying to figure out what to do. 

Whatever it is remember God is not the author of confusion it says in 1 Corinthians 14:33. Keep looking up and keep seeking God through it all. Put down the phone and go to the ‘throne’. 

PRAYER: Lord I need you daily to be my shepherd and lead me through confusion and turmoil of life. Help use me to help another. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Confused?

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33

Ever have a day where you couldn’t seem to get it together? All of us have emotions and high days and low days and it is knowing how to handle them.

Continue to press into joy and anything that has caused feelings you care not to deal with keep running to joy. How you might say? 

You have to purpose in your heart to cast off any wrong thinking or as Bible teacher Joyce Meyer says ‘stinking thinking’ it is a conscious effort to be closer to Jesus and away from works of darkness. 

PRAYER: Father help me daily put others before me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.  

National Day Of Prayer

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.2 Chronicles 7:14

Today is That day when all over America cities and states will have National Day of Prayer events calling our nation back to God. 

Many people don’t realize America was established on prayer and the Bible. When a community or a state starts to get away from those godly and moral principles set forth by our founding fathers it is not a good thing. 

You may not be able to attend an event in person and if not you can see check out resources at link below. 

PRAYER: Father thanks for freedom which is from you. Thanks for this nation where we can enjoy praying without threat of being jailed. Help us be vigilant to stay that way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
