Living by the Spirit’s power
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise…Don’t act thoughtlessly… (Ephesians 5 nlt)
Yet, when I’m in the midst of turmoil my thoughts are on what I want; my heart is not seeking the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Confessing my sin as soon as I recognize it can sometimes help me remember to seek the spirit’s guidance when turmoil attacks the next time.
I pray for you everyday to recognize the enemy when he attacks.
Luv Ya!

This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come fearlessly [boldly and confidently] into God’s presence, assured of his glad welcome. (from Ephesians 3)
I am overwhelmed by God Almighty’s eternal plan; that he offered me the gift life knowing what a sinner I would (and continue to) be. It is beyond my ability to understand the magnitude of his love and grace and yet I KNOW I’m welcome in the presence of God the father.
I pray daily that you believe in Christ’s work on the cross for you and for his glory.
Luv Ya!

The Lord Christ Jesus died on a cross to give me life. Now I must die to me so that Christ Jesus can live through me.
From Ephesians 2–…that even though [I was] we were dead because of our [my] sins, he gave us [me] life when he raised Christ from the dead…For he raised us [me] from the dead along with Christ…we are [I am] united with Christ Jesus. God saved [me] you by his grace when [I] you believed. And [I] you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
I pray for you every day to remember, as a believer, that you may be the only living word the world may see.
Luv Ya!

…Fear [recognizing His authority] of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (from OT times)
…And now you [recognizing His authority] have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee!… (from NT times)
I pray for you constantly to have the spiritual wisdom and understanding to see the magnitude of God’s grace in your own life..
Luv Ya!

Adoration of God Almighty from the book of Psalms (God’s word).
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together. I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.
I pray for you to feel and find the JOY of the Lord even in the midst of life’s chaos and dissatisfaction.
Luv Ya!
