” This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”( Psalms 118: 24 NKJV).

” Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.  Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;  not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;  rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.  Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.” (Romans 12: 9-16 NKJV).

” Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NKJV).

Proverbs 11:10 KJV
[10] When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Matthew 5:3-12 NKJV
[3] “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. [7] Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. [10] Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. [12] Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

“Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.”
Acts 13:9

” Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5: 16-21 NKJV).

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Dear Lord, as I speak, I thank You that You are transforming me from a lamb to a Lion. In the same way that you promoted Saul with a name change, today I received my new name. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, I was once called fearful, but I am now called courageous! When I was once called doubtful, I am now called faithful. When I was once invisible, I am now seen! When I was once ignored, I am now heard! At every new season in my life, I will now level up and step into a new dimension of who I am with an even greater influence and understanding. I declare that any and all old names that have ever limited my life are gone and done away with. Behold, I stand as a new creation ready to proclaim the works of Jesus! IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. AMEN
