OUR MIND SHOULD BE ON GOD AND HIS KINGDOM, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

 WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT THAT GOD HEARS US, AND OUR  MIND IS ON JESUS, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?

IT WILL CAUSE US THROUGH THE DAY TO INCLUDE THE LORD IN OUR DECISIONS AND ACTIONS.

WE HAVE PUT HIM FIRST.

MATTHEW 6:33

"BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.

WHAT WILL BE ADDED?  ALL THAT WE NEED FOR OUR DAY.

PSALM 5:1-3 ( THIS IS A SONG WE USE TO SING IN CHURCH YEARS AGO)

GIVE EAR TO MY WORDS, O LORD, CONSIDER MY MEDITATION. GIVE HEED TO THE VOICE OF MY CRY, MY KING AND MY GOD, FOR TO YOU I WILL PRAY, MY VOICE YOU SHALL HEAR IN THE MORNING, O LORD, IN THE MORNING I WILL DIRECT IT TO YOU, AND WILL LOOK UP.


IF YOU NOTICE THAT WHEN WE START OUR DAY WITH JESUS ON OUR MIND, OUR FOCUS IS TO LOOK UP AND NOT AT CIRCUMSTANCES.

LOOK UP FIRST, THEN YOU CAN DEAL WITH WHAT IS AROUND YOU.

PSALM 143:8

CAUSE ME TO HEAR YOUR LOVING KINDNESS IN THE MORNING, FOR IN YOU DO I TRUST; CAUSE ME TO KNOW THE WAY IN WHICH I SHOULD WALK, FOR I LIFT UP MY SOUL TO YOU.

PSALM 59:16

BUT I WILL SING OF YOUR POWER; YES, I WILL SING ALOUD OF YOUR MERCY IN THE MORNING;  FOR YOU HAVE BEEN MY DEFENSE AND REFUGE IN THE DAY OF MY TROUBLE.

AS YOU CAN SEE BELOVED, WE ARE TO SING IN THE MORNING, PRAY IN THE MORNING, REJOICE IN THE MORNING.


START YOUR DAY WITH THE LORD AND KEEP HIM FIRST PLACE IN YOUR MORNING.

ISAIAH 26:9

WITH MY SOUL I HAVE DESIRED YOU IN THE NIGHT, YES BY MY SPIRIT WITHIN ME I WILL SEEK YOU EARLY;

FOR WHEN YOUR JUDGMENTS ARE IN THE EARTH, THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.


NOTICE IT IS STILL DARK LIKE NIGHT, EARLY HOURS, HE IS SEEKING THE LORD. JUST AS JESUS DID.

WHEN IT IS QUIET AND IT IS JUST GOD AND HIM.


I USUALLY AWAKE AT 4:AM. 

I LOVE TO GO OUT ON THE DECK AND TALK TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER, LOOKING UP AT AT THE STARS AND FEELING THE STILLNESS OF THE EARLY MORNING.

THAT IS A GREAT TIME TO PRAY.

TO PRAISE AND REJOICE THAT THROUGH JESUS WE HAVE AN ENTRANCE TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. 

THANK GOD FOR A NEW DAY.

WE ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS, SO WE CAN RUN INTO THE FATHER'S ARMS, (ROMANS 8:16-17)

JOINT: CONNECTED TO.

BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT BELONGS TO JESUS IS OURS ALSO, ESPECIALLY THE VERY PRESENCE OF THE LORD. 

COME BOLDLY INTO HIS THRONE ROOM.


BELOVED, SEEK THE LORD EARLY AND GIVE YOUR DAY TO HIM.  HE'S WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU, BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.

PSALM 90:14

OH SATISFY US EARLY WITH YOUR MERCY, THAT WE MAY REJOICE AND BE GLAD ALL OUR DAYS.

BELOVED, AS SOON AS YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, MAY JESUS BE THE ONE ON YOUR MIND. 

THANK HIM FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT, THANK HIM FOR SALVATION, THANK HIM FOR BEING IN YOU AND WITH YOU ALWAYS.

IT IS EASY TO LOOK UP WHEN YOU HAVE A THANKFUL HEART EARLY IN THE MORNING.


GOD BLESS YOUR DAY

JESUS LOVES YOU,

LOVE IN JESUS

JOY

I use to always wonder how others could get up so early and have quiet time and devotion each morning. With all I had to do, I thought I could never do that, but then God moved on my heart, and I began to try this. I set my clock just a bit earlier and began to make time to spend with God in the morning. And now, I can't imagine not doing so. I love this special time with Jesus!

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
