To God be The glory, Amen

Jesus,
With just one touch from your hand,
you have healed the sick and raised the dead.
How amazing is your Lordship over all the earth,
How powerful is your redeeming love.
How great was your sacrifice to go before us and bring forgiveness and hope.
By your stripes I am healed and made whole, what was taken out of you on the cross makes me whole today, Amen You have gone through so that I do not have to, Amen
What You have gone through on my behalf, I reject in Your name LORD Jesus.
We stand within your reign and rule, in Your name I am healed and made whole, I decree in Your name LORD -Jesus!
Through You restoration is mine, Amen.
May life and wellness grow in fullness until it overflows in my life. AMEN!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am moved to ask; “do you have a prayer closet?” In times such as this – space premium. Do you have a prayer ‘time’? Wake up in the morning and…??? Before bed after an activity filled day.
You ate, walked, moved, worked, schooled, sat, lay, you ‘lived’. No matter the conditions, you ARE!

Yes, we have shared on this fact. You are…so? Each moment, each lesson, every experience can be used to the grace of God. Every single moment, movement action, reaction… You are a creation! Who, What made you?
Chance? You are for a reason. We can break it down, the sperm found the ova, cells divided and you came to be:

Even in this article (Scientific nonetheless, birth is termed a ‘miracle’.) This IS science! I wanted to show that everything is connected!
You are a miracle. Hold on! A miracle? Doesn’t that term have something to do with a ‘belief system?’ All is connected! We can delve into science. We did recently and pointed out that the ‘brains’ behind current development have some knowledge of what is. We spoke of Albert Einstein.
Let us take a look at some of the current ‘somebodies.’ Ever heard of Bill Gates?

I state this with purpose. We ALL want to be SOMETHING, a SOMEBODY! When you arrive there, IF you arrive there, then?
I will venture to say in the times of Jesus, He was a carpenters step-Son. Famous in the area, or known! 5,000 for food and drink? A ‘concert’ like gathering. So, people gathered to hear him speak…a Star in His day! In more ways than one!

We can see, even in those days there was a “Star.” Yes, we have ‘stars’ today, do they have testimonies? What was the most unique in those days? A crowd/gathering of individuals; five loaves, two fish. And all ate! Doubters may say that the ‘individuals’ present may have brought their own ‘repast’ or vendors would have made a ‘quick buck.’ But, for reason we now are aware of, the disciples were asked to collect the ‘left overs’, I do not have to state what was collected or why!
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/%3Fsearch%3DMatthew%2B14:13-21%26version%3DNIV%26interface%3Damp&ved=2ahUKEwjcjJSAudXaAhVyk-AKHRlpAd8QFjACegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw1wrOSlsak9NbsRQR-9v2T9&ampcf=1

Doubters will exist in every ‘crowd.’ No problem, for this reason and this reason alone Jesus was moved to ask the ‘left overs’ to be collected. As an aside, when led to do actions that lead to the glory of God, questions need NOT be asked or a pause taken. In this case, were there ‘homeless’ people that what was collected went to? It does not say, but what was done was done and we have heard about it greater than 2,000 years after the day!
There is always a reason for the season, Amen

When you pray in private, you receive publicly to The glory of God. Matthew 6 is so full of teaching. Feel free to read, we will simply take a brief look at what had been said: “Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” This is in respect to giving the needy! (V. 4)

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”
(Vs 5-7)

“Before you ask Him.” Let your tears be prayers and your thanks be in all you do! Give God The glory in your coming out and going in, Amen

Father LORD, we lay before Your Throne of wonder in speechless adoration! Glory, for our yeterdays, todays and all our ways. We in no way earned your gifts that are poured out from Heaven. We worship You in Spirit and in truth, Amen

We see and know that “like the grass soon withers though ‘lush’ in ‘its’ time, we are aware of the green plants they will soon die away; nature in its beauty is limited, are we? Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37
We are aware of all around us, LORD in the beauty of the now, we realize Your hand. The beauty of all our ways is in You, Amen

We commit this day, our now and forever into Your ALL encompassing, Love filled hands, Amen

We are in this ‘time’ because The Lord willed it! We are beause it

is His desire! We are moved to do ‘certain’ things, to be in specific places, Amen

Father LORD, thank You for this day. Go before me in all. Bless and fill today with Your will for me. Be glorified as I give You all my honor,and my being. You created me for a reason, placed me exactly where You did for a reason. Be Thou glorifed in my life, in my ALL. You are my reason, my all. As I ask for forgiveness, I my Your grace stand before You with my past faults confessed and those I held strife against stand forgiven in Jesus’ name, Amen

Have a Spirit filled day with cause to give thanks, Amen

Good Morning,
I pray for you this Blessed wonderful morning, that heaven will hearken to every prayers of your heart. No matter what happens in the past or in the world, God of heaven and earth will manifest on your behalf in Christ Jesus. Amen!!!

You shall be fullfilled favorably in all things. The sun and the moon stood still for the Israelites to overcome their enemies, all ordinances and laws written contrary to your breakthrough shall stand still in Jesus Christ name. Amen!!!

God separated Lot from Abraham to enable him fulfill his God’s given vision, from today henceforth, May God separate you from whoever and whatever will obstruct your God’s given destiny in Jesus Christ Mighty name. Amen!!!

Have a blessed day with songs of Victory of Hallelujah in Christ Jesus. Amen!!!

The end of the work day (almost) in the US. End of the day in other parts of the world. How was your day? God-centered? Rich? Blessed? May I be so forward as to ask you “How?” if you responded positively.

Give God thanks in ALL your ways!
Yesterday, we shared on this subject, are we putting it to use? There is no one there to “assess” you. Your heart is! What we are not presently aware of will be revealed. EVERY moment makes you, YOU! Experiences, circumstances, faith! Faith? Yes, “Faith!” The KNOWLEDGE of things not seen yet in the physical, but the assurance that it is there, Amen

So, again “How was your day?” Lesson-filled, praise-filled, blessed? Let me go out on a limb here: What is “Blessed”?

To Be Blessed Means …

One of my favorite Scripture passages is the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12, where Jesus lists what it means to be blessed. It’s certainly not what comes to my mind when I think of being blessed or when I pray for others to be blessed. Remember all those childhood prayers, “Bless Mommy, Daddy, and Auntie Sue”? We had no idea what we were saying! We were actually saying, “Let them be poor in spirit, mourning, meek, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, merciful, pure, peacemakers, and persecuted.”

So how could such things lead to happiness? It seems like they lead more to the opposite of happiness. But the Beatitudes tell us one thing clearly. We can never be happy when we live self-centered lives. We may be fooled into thinking we’re happy for a while, but eventually it will fold in on us because true happiness can be found only in a relationship with our Creator. Only the One who made us knows what will truly make us happy and give us satisfaction in life. We have to get to the end of ourselves and the beginning of God to gain any lasting contentment in life. And that can happen only through divine revelation and transformation through God’s Word and the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. It’s the “pearl of great value” (Matthew 13:46), worth selling everything to gain it. And ultimately, it’s the secret to true satisfaction.

We have shared this earlier, but I wanted to point out fact. We say it so often without truly grasping what it means. Are you blessed?

Stubborn me asks “What do you have?” trials, temptations, hardship? Through it all, the ONE thing we can profess is PEACE!

Ever heard/thought of or said…”This will pass”?
Yes it will! Things come in seasons. What season is evident in your life at this time? Faith it out (or on if it is rich in positivity). I can say to both sides of the fence, “ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened!”

In closing, remember the parable of the Ten Virgins?

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

“ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.
Luke 1:37

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (make definite requests) with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
Philippians 4:6

Give thanks in everything good AND not so great, for this is the way we are to be, Amen

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

LORD, we thank You for today, our yesterdays and we lay before Your majesty for the testimony riddled always to come, Amen
