#2024

“A NEW Life Emerges! Look at it!”

Jesus has given us a new life in Him. Free from our past mistakes, quit and shame. Freedom into life of abundance and blessing. Are you living in the new life given to you by God or are you hanging onto your old life? What God has in store for you is better than what you or your past have determined. Let the new life in Jesus flourish in you!

Did you know that you are NOT an accident?

God has created you with a purpose and your life isn’t an accident, a glitch, or some random occurrence. God has made you and called you to live the life He has planned for you. It is because of this that you can say, “I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE.”

If you feel like your life is an accident or direction-less, ask God to show you what His plan for your life is. If you ask and seek, you will find!

Today starts our new series of "Peace in..." Knowing he is near!

Sometimes it might feel that God is distant from us, but our feelings don't define the reality of Gods nature, It might feel that way because he may not be speaking instantly to us in that situation but the Bible says in Psalm 34:18 that "he is near to the broken hearted..".

We have to remember that it's in Gods timing not ours. He cares for us so much that he's near and wants to have a relationship with us.

Today we ask "Healing for..." broken relationships.

God we come to you today and ask for you to heal our broken relationships. We know that you are near to the broken hearted and we can come to you asking to put the pieces back together. I ask that you forgive us if we have caused the brokenness and forgive them as you forgave me. We ask that you bless our future interactions with people and new relationships, we ask this in Jesus name AMEN.

As we begin this new week we will be talking about "Healing for..." today we are asking for healing of the scars not healed from the past.

Pray with me. God we ask the you cover the wounds and scars from our past. We know you can do anything and we ask to cover us with your presence and remind us we are made new with you! Heal every part that has not yet healed or has been reopened recently. We thank you for being our savior and our Healer, in Jesus name AMEN.

Today, take "The Courage.." to ask for help! We often like to do things on our own and we think we can do everything, but as we start to pile things on ourselves we start getting overwhelmed, frustrated, upset, irritated, and trapped on what to do. We need to take the courage to ask for help because there are somethings we cannot do on our own.

Take the Courage to ask for help, we are brothers and sisters in christ and we are help to help one another and to love one another.

Stay Encourage today!

Today, take "The Courage..." to Trust. Trust might be a hard thing for you to do, maybe from a past situation or your current situation, but if you put your trust in God he's the one that will comfort you and help you in any situation you might be facing.

Psalm 125:1 says, Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

Today we are taking the "Courage to..." let go of our past. Sometimes our past holds us back from being able to take the next step forward. Our negative past can make its way into our minds to remind us of our mistakes, failures, and disappointments but we have a name that is above all names and his name is Jesus, the one who paid the price on the cross for our mistakes and has given us a new start!

2 Corinthians 5:16–17 says "So if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!”

Walk in COURAGE today of who God called you to be and do! 🦁

Today we are taking the "Courage to..." be who God created me to be! God has set us apart, God has set YOU apart so that we may be the best version of ourselves because he has a plan for each one of our lives and that plan is greater than we can ever imagine!

Take the Courage to be who God created you to be today!

🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟

Hey fam! ✨ Starting this October, we're embarking on a journey of inspiration and reflection. Join us for the next four weeks as we dive into our “Words of Encouragement” series as we focus on the themes of Courage, Healing, Peace, and Strength. Each day, a new post will unravel the depth of these powerful words.

🔍 Let's explore the "Courage to...," "Healing for...," "Peace in...," and "Strength for..." series together. 

🙏 Throughout this journey, let's come together in prayer for our brothers and sisters who may find solace in these posts. 🤝

✨ Share the love with your friends, drop a comment, and double-tap your way through this series. Let's make this a community of encouragement and support! 🌟 🙌

The biggest mistake we do as people is that we often compare ourselves, just because someone might have a bigger role doesn't mean your role is not important!

Everyone plays an important part and we all work TOGETHER and are NEEDED to function as the body of christ.

So no matter the role you might be playing, big or small, YOU MATTER and ARE NEEDED!

Be encouraged this week!

Blessed (to be spiritually prosperous, happy, satisfied and fulfilled) are you when you work for and maintain peace where you go.

Continue your week as peacemakers in every place you go and as you interact with others so they can see Jesus through you!

Be blessed!
