¹Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. ²Do 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 12:1-2

GOAL FOR THE WEEK:

When you sin, God doesn’t say “Oops!” When those you call friends turn against you, God doesn’t say “See ya!” This week we wil see that God is Faithful even when we aren’t; even when we’re abandoned by thos we thought we could trust.

PSALM 55:1-14

¹ Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! ²Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan, ³because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me. ⁴My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me.⁵Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. ⁶And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; ⁷ yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah

⁸I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.”⁹Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;for I see violence and strife in the city. ¹⁰Day and night they go around iton its walls,and iniquity and trouble are within it; ¹¹ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace. ¹²For it is not an enemy who taunts me—then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me—then I could hide from him.¹³But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend.¹⁴We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng.

Do you ever get to the place where you feel like running from a hard situation?

May God bless all who read this. Lord I ask that you open the ears and hearts of those who have been and continue to read this blog. I ask that you guide them and lead them in your ways and that you be the one to speak through everything I write, In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Good morning to all. I just want to share a little about what I have been reading lately.

I’ve started to read the book of Romans. Last night I read chapter 2, which in short says, Only God can judge me. Some may know this saying or even used it. But Paul explains how if we judge others, in the day of judgement God will judge us just the same. Some times it’s easier to look at other people’s faults but we don’t look at our own situation. We are not justified by comparing ourselves to others or by bringing others down. We only are justified by the sacrifice made by Christ and Christ alone.

Thoughts:
So today look at yourself and those that you have compared yourself with, and instead of judging them. Take some time and pray for them.

Be blessed.

“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.” James 1:12

Good morning all,
Lets dive right into it. Where are you today? Have you persevered? Are you in the middle of your trial? Or do you feel it (your trial) hasn’t even begun? Where ever you are, today is the day that we must hold on to God and never let go. Today the decision has to be made. Aim for the crown God has promised you and choose to persevere.

I pray that God may continue to bless you all, as well as protect and guide you. Lord you know what we are going through and I know you have the answer to all our needs and situations, I ask you to show us what it is that you want us to do and how to do it. Let us have ears to hear you and a heart to obey you. In the name Jesus, Amen. Have a Blessed day guys.

Prayer: Lord before I begin to share the word for today, I ask that you forgive us of all sins that we may know we have done to offend you as well as those that we have no idea we are committing. I ask you Lord to guide us and to protect us each and everyday. I also ask Lord that you give us wisdom and understanding of your word, give us ears to hear you and a heart to obey you. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

For a man’s ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.
Prov. 5:21

Motives, what we do and how we do it matters to God and all He wants us to do is do it for Him and how He asks it to be done. So ask yourself today am I doing what God wants me to do and if so am I doing it for Him or just to get it done and over with. He examines our heart, He’s examining your heart right now. What’s your motive?

God Bless

“Be still and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10

Hey Guys,
May you all be bless in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that God gives you an ear to hear Him and a heart to obey Him. Amen

So let’s get right into it. This verse means a lot to me. There have been days that I’ve been to busy to listen or even let God take control of all the areas of my life. Sometimes making matters worse than they already are. Then when I know I can’t solve the problem I run to God. What a mistake, don’t get me wrong God will still come and help us in our time of need, but how much easier would it have been to know that He is God and let Him be in control for the get go. I know it’s been hard for me. But like everything, it is a learning process. If this is something your struggling with today I pray that God give you the peace that surpasses all understanding and that he guide you and lead you each and everyday. May God bless you all.

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1

Good morning guys,
I pray over each and everyone of us for the guidance, protection and blessings of God in this day. I declare you all healed from head to toe in the name of Jesus. Amen. God bless you all today.

“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”- 1 John 4:11-12

Good morning guys,
May God bless, protect and guide you in this day. I pray that God gives your ears to hear Him and a heart to obey Him. In the name of Jesus, amen!

Hope you’re all doing well this morning and if you are just share that with others. Like the scripture says that His love is made complete if we love one another and He lives in us. Take time today and demonstrate God’s love to one another, you may be the only God or Jesus anyone ever gets to know. Today is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be Glad in it.

I pray that you all are able to share the love of God with others, not only in this day but each and every day. I also pray that you be encouraged and feel the Love of our Lord and Savior. Remember through what ever your going through God is still there just call out to Him.

Love you guys,
Alex

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”- Romans 8:38-39

Good morning to all. I know I haven’t kept up these last few days, I’m sorry to you all. I will continue moving forward. I pray that God blesses, guides, and protects you where ever you art today. I pray that He gives you ears to hear Him and a Heart to obey Him.

So let’s get right into it. Sometimes we feel that we have done wrong or we failed God, and because of this He will stop loving us. What a misconception. As it states in the passage, nothing, I mean nothing that you can think of will ever stop God from Loving you. The fact that Jesus Christ died for your sins will continue being a fact. That’s just a lie from the enemy to keep you where you are at and not let you grow. The reason he does this is so that you will not become a danger to him (the devil). So what ever it is that has you stuck today, I tell you God still Loves you and is not ashamed of you. In fact he wants you to STAND reach out to HIM and keep moving in HIS Love. If this is you I pray that God removes these lies from your lives and give you wisdom and understanding that HIS love is far greater than anything you can be going through. In the name of Jesus Amen.

I want to leave you with something a friend told me once. “Don’t tell God how big your problem is, tell your problem how big your God is.” God Bless you all.

Alex
