BLESSED.

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.  And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:  “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.  “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.  “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.”( Deuteronomy 28:1-6 NKJV).

Psalm 1:1-2
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Heavenly Father,
On this sacred Prayer Sunday, we humbly come before Your throne of grace, recognizing You as the source of all blessings and the giver of every good gift. We acknowledge Your unfailing love and faithfulness, grateful for the abundant blessings You have bestowed upon us.

Lord, we thank You for the gift of prayer, a divine avenue that connects us intimately with Your heart. As we gather together on this special day, we seek Your blessings to be poured out upon us and our fellow believers around the world. May Your presence fill our hearts and homes, infusing our lives with Your divine favor and grace.

As we lift our voices in prayer, we ask for Your blessings to overflow in every aspect of our lives. Bless our families, dear Lord. Strengthen the bonds of love and unity among us, as we strive to follow Your teachings and honor You in our relationships. Grant us wisdom and patience as we navigate the challenges of life, and may Your peace reign in our homes.

Father, we pray for our church family. Bless our pastors, leaders, and volunteers who faithfully serve Your kingdom. Grant them discernment, courage, and anointing as they shepherd and guide Your flock. Pour out Your blessings upon our ministries, enabling us to make a meaningful impact in our communities and beyond.

We also ask for Your blessings upon our nation and its leaders. Grant them wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility to govern justly and compassionately. Guide them in making decisions that honor Your principles and promote the well-being of all people. May Your blessings of peace, unity, and prosperity flow through our land.

Lord, we lift up those who are in need of Your healing touch. Bless the sick, the afflicted, and the hurting with Your divine restoration and comfort. Grant them strength, both physically and emotionally, and surround them with Your love. We also ask for Your blessings upon the caregivers and medical professionals who tirelessly serve and minister to those in need.

As we embark on this new week, we seek Your blessings in our endeavors and pursuits. Bless our work and our studies, that we may find fulfillment and make a positive impact in our spheres of influence. Open doors of opportunity, grant us wisdom in decision-making, and bless the work of our hands.

Lord, we desire to be vessels of Your blessings to others. Show us ways to extend Your love, compassion, and generosity to those around us. Use us as instruments of Your peace, bringing hope and healing to a broken world. May Your blessings flow through us, touching the lives of those in need.

Finally, we thank You, Lord, for the abundant blessings You have already bestowed upon us. Help us to be grateful stewards of Your blessings, using them to glorify Your name and further Your kingdom. May our lives be a testament to Your goodness and grace, as we walk in obedience to Your will.

We offer this prayer with hearts full of gratitude and anticipation, knowing that You are a God who delights in blessing Your children. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

“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,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude : 24-25 NKJV].

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.  So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.  But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.  And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”( Romans 8:1-11 NKJV).

” I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,  idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.  And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”(Galatians 5:16-26 NKJV).

“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, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude : 24-25 NKJV].

WORSHIP AND ADORE HIM


” O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.  When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?  For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,..”( Psalms 8:1-6 NKJV).


” I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.  I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.”( Psalms : 1-2 NKJV).


Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.”( Psalms 100:1-2)

“You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.  But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”(John : 22-24 NKJV).

LET’S PRAY 🙏🏽
We give you praise and worship your holy name. We ascribe to You the glory and honour that is due to You, for You are our God, You alone are our Creator our Lord and our Saviour, and You alone are deserving of our worship.

We worship You in the beauty of Your holiness and bow down before You in reverent praise, for You alone are worthy to receive all honour and glory and praise and blessing and worship.

Your power and Your majesty is seen throughout all the world, the works of Your hand are displayed in the heavens above, in the earth beneath and in the waters under the earth. You sit enthroned in circle of the heavens as our eternal King, and Your footstool is the foundation of the earth, which You have made. We are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, and You are our God. We worship You. 

You picked us up out of the miry clay and clothed us in Your own robe of righteousness. You cleansed us of our sins and will wipe away every tear from our eyes. You give strength to the weak, help to the oppressed, give food to the hungry and comfort to those that are suffering. 

We bless You for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life, but above all we worship and thank You for sending Your Son to be our propitiation, our Saviour who washed away our sins with His own blood. Words cannot express the wonder of Your love and grace, and we worship You forever and ever and ever,IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. AMEN.

” 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,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude : 24-25 NKJV].

JESUS OUR HEALER

“….and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”(Exodus 15:26 KJV).

” But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”(Isaiah 53:5 KJV).

“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”(Jeremiah 17:14 KJV).

“Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses. [20] He sent his word, and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.”(Psalms 107:20 KJV).

” who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”(1 Peter 2:24 KJV).

LET’S PRAY 🙏:
Mighty Healer, I ask not for temporary relief, but for a complete transformation.

Touch us at the deepest level, where no doctor, no medicine, no treatment can reach.

Repair what is broken, restore what has been stolen. Let every failing organ be revived, every weakness be replaced with strength.

Lord, I trust You for full restoration, leaving no scar, no residue of affliction. I release supernatural wholeness over every fiber of our being.

Father God, sickness does not only affect the body, but also the heart and mind.

I ask for emotional healing over us, that You would bind up every wound that has been caused by their struggle.

I declare that fear, anxiety, and hopelessness must leave their spirit. Replace them with peace that surpasses understanding and joy that strengthens their heart.

Help them to trust in Your love and Your ability to heal not just the body, but the soul. You are their refuge and their strength.

Lord, I reject weakness and despair over us. Every force draining their energy and crushing their spirit, I command you to break and flee in Jesus’ name.

Let the power of the Holy Spirit infuse their body with supernatural strength! Every cell, muscle, and organ, receive divine energy.

No more suffering, no more oppression, no more torment. Every assignment of the enemy bringing discouragement, I cast you into the fire!

We shall walk and not grow weary, they shall run and not faint! Strength is theirs, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”[Jude 1:24-25 KJV].

THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.

” For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”(Romans 6:23 KJV).

“All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. [18] We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”(1 John 5:17-18 KJV).

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8: 44 KJV).

” Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”( 1 John 2: 15-17 KJV).

“Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.  In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” ( 1 John 3: 6-10 KJV).

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James  4: 17 KJV).

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 KJV].

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
I Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)
Are you giving thanks in every circumstance? This might seem like a stretch at first, especially when you are going through a season of difficulty. But notice today’s verse doesn’t say to give thanks “for” everything, it says give thanks “in” everything. In other words, no matter what’s going on, find something to be thankful for. Don’t just focus on what’s wrong in your life; focus on what God will do in your life.
When you are thankful, it opens the door for God to move on your behalf. That’s why it says “this is God’s will for you.” He wants you to be close to Him to receive His strength and power by giving thanks. That’s why we should always have the attitude that says, “God, in spite of what’s happened, I choose to be grateful. I may be sick, but Father, thank You for being my healer. Thank you for giving me great friends and family.”

A God Blessed and Holy Spirit Filled Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Psalm 107:1
O give THANKS unto the LORD, for he is GOOD…
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give THANKS: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Ephesians 5:20
Giving THANKS always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
+As we celibate Thanksgiving with family and friends may the Lord Jesus Christ VISITS and BLESSES you table and may He be your most Honored Guest.
+May He also pour out His Love, Peace, Joy, Happiness, Prosperity, Good Health, and Protection, Long Life and Good Success upon everyone.
+May you have fun, laughter and enjoyments as you reminisce on the Lord’s blessings.
Psalm 100:5
For the LORD is GOOD…
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
+Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to our Lord Jesus Christ be all the Glory for a Blessed, Wonderful and Most Memorable Thanksgiving Day.

SIN, GET RID OF IT.


” For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6 :23 KJV).

” Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”(Romans 6:11-18 KJV).

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;..” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18 KJV).


“…that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,  and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.  Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.  “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,  nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.  Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”( Ephesians 4: 22-32 NKJV).

” Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.  Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,  you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,”  and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,  having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.  For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.  Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.” (1 Peter 2: 1-17 NKJV).

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,  looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2 KJV).

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”[ Jude 1:24-25 KJV].

WHY WORRY?

IT IS NOT GOOD TO WORRY.

“Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;  and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?  “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.   But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”( Matthew 6:27-34 NKJV).


+Worry is a waste of our time, it is unprofitable, and definitely it is the bad fruit of Doubt, Unbelief and Lack of FAITH TRUST, and CONFIDENCE in GOD.
+We cannot worry, trust God and be in faith at the same time.
+As children of God when we worry we are saying many things to God. Things like…

  1. I don’t trust You because if I did I wouldn’t worry.
  2. I don’t believe you are capable of handling my problems because if I did I wouldn’t worry.
  3. We are saying to God we can trust you to save our souls and give us eternal life, but we cannot trust You to do anything else.
    Jeremiah 32:26-27 says:
    “Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
    +Between you and God what is your answer to this question?
    +Remember all things are possible by God, and all things are possible to them that believe.
    +Worry NOT yourselves and TRUST in the LORD our God. He is Trustworthy and Faithful, and God can NEVER FAIL!Amen and HALLELUJAHS to Jesus!!!
    ” 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,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”(Jude 1:24-25 NKJV).
    •Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
    •BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

GRACE AND MERCY

“May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.  For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).

By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.  For this very reason, adding your diligence [to the divine promises], employ every effort in exercising your faith to develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy), and in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence), And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control, and in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness (patience, endurance), and in [exercising] steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety), And in [exercising] godliness [develop] brotherly affection, and in [exercising] brotherly affection [develop] Christian love.

For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you, they will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful unto the [full personal] knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).  For whoever lacks these qualities is blind, [spiritually] shortsighted, seeing only what is near to him, and has become oblivious [to the fact] that he was cleansed from his old sins.  Because of this, brethren, be all the more solicitous and eager to make sure (to ratify, to strengthen, to make steadfast) your calling and election; for if you do this, you will never stumble or fall.

Thus there will be richly and abundantly provided for you entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  So I intend always to remind you about these things, although indeed you know them and are firm in the truth that [you] now [hold].  I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle (tent, body), to stir you up by way of remembrance, Since I know that the laying aside of this body of mine will come speedily, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.”( 2 Peter 1:2-14 AMPC).

We Have Grace In Faith ♥️
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”(‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)✝️🩸🛐

“Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).”[ Jude 1:24-25 AMPC].

CALLED AND CHOSEN

I Peter 2:9-11 NKJV reminds us of who we are in Christ Jesus, it says :
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; [10] who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. [11] Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

Ephesians 2:4-18 NKJV
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, [9] not of works, lest anyone should boast. [10] For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. [11] Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— [12] that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. [13] But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. [14] For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, [15] having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, [16] and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. [17] And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. [18] For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Lord, when I am walking in obedience to your word I trust you are in control of my life. Whatever circumstances you allow to challenge me will be turned for my good. Your goal is to restore my understanding of who I am as a child or God and mature me spiritually and emotionally. All the situations I confront are designed to help me grow and exercise your word and my faith. At first, they seem overwhelming, but as I press into you in prayer and search your word for answers, I gain the strength I need to rise above what I am facing. Thank you for the new freedom on the other side of my difficulties.

Heavenly Father, thank You that I have been called according to Your plan and purpose, for it is not Your will that any should perish, but that all should come to faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank You, Lord, that You are causing all things to work together to finally achieve Your great redemptive plan and purpose for mankind. And thank You, Lord, that so often I see Your gracious hand working in my life and in the lives of all Your children, as You gently transform us into the lovely image of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.

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.
