2 Corinthians 4:6-11 #TPT
For God, who said, “Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,” is the one who has cascaded his light into us—the brilliant dawning light of the glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ.
We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours.
Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option.
We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out.
We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.
We consider living to mean that we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake so that the life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.

Psalms 85:9-13 #TPT
For I know your power and presence shines on all your devoted lovers. Your glory always hovers over all who bow low before you.
Your mercy and your truth have married each other. Your righteousness and peace have kissed.
Flowers of your faithfulness are blooming on the earth. Righteousness shines down from the sky.
Yes, the Lord keeps raining down blessing after blessing, and prosperity will drench the land with a bountiful harvest.
For deliverance goes before him, preparing a path for his steps.

Romans 13:8-11 #TPT
Don’t owe anything to anyone, except your outstanding debt to continually love one another, for the one who learns to love has fulfilled every requirement of the law.
For the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,” and every other commandment can be summed up in these words: “Love and value others the same way you love and value yourself.”
Love makes it impossible to harm another, so love fulfills all that the law requires.
To live like this is all the more urgent, for time is running out and you know it is a strategic hour in human history. It is time for us to wake up! For our full salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Psalms 32:1-5 #TPT
What bliss belongs to the one whose rebellion has been forgiven, those whose sins are covered by blood. What bliss belongs to those who have confessed their corruption to God! For he wipes their slates clean and removes hypocrisy from their hearts.
Before I confessed my sins, I kept it all inside; my dishonesty devastated my inner life, causing my life to be filled with frustration, irrepressible anguish, and misery.
The pain never let up, for your hand of conviction was heavy on my heart. My strength was sapped, my inner life dried up like a spiritual drought within my soul.
Pause in his presence
Then I finally admitted to you all my sins, refusing to hide them any longer. I said, “My life-giving God, I will openly acknowledge my evil actions.” And you forgave me! All at once the guilt of my sin washed away and all my pain disappeared!
Pause in his presence

Psalm 146:2
2)While I live I will praise the LORD;
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
Proverbs 16:32-33 #TPT
Do you want to be a mighty warrior? It’s better to be known as one who is patient and slow to anger. Do you want to conquer a city? Rule over your temper before you attempt to rule a city.
We may toss the coin and roll the dice, but God’s will is greater than luck.

Proverbs 16:6-9 #TPT
You can avoid evil through surrendered worship and the fear of God, for the power of his faithful love removes sin’s guilt and grip over you.
When the Lord is pleased with the decisions you’ve made, he activates grace to turn enemies into friends.
It is better to have little with a heart that loves justice than to be rich and not have God on your side.
Within your heart you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there.

The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.
— Jeremiah 17:9-10 NLT
Proverbs 15:3-4 #TPT
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere and he takes note of everything that happens. He watches over his lovers, and he also sees the wickedness of the wicked.
When you speak healing words, you offer others fruit from the tree of life. But unhealthy, negative words do nothing but crush their hopes.

"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away." -Song of Songs 8:6-7 💝💪🔥🌊
Psalms 2:10-12 #TPT
“Listen to me, all you rebel kings and all you upstart judges of the earth. Learn your lesson while there’s still time.
Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God. Recognize his greatness and bow before him, trembling with reverence in his presence.
Fall facedown before him and kiss the Son before his anger is roused against you. Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves in him!”

On May 1st, church leaders in China were faced with new rules.
They will now be judged according to their faithfulness to the communist party and their efforts to promote its version of Christianity.

Proverbs 13:12-14 #TPT
When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul.
Despise the word, will you? Then you’ll pay the price and it won’t be pretty! But the one who honors the Father’s holy instructions will be rewarded.
When the lovers of God teach you truth, a fountain of life opens up within you, and their wise instruction will deliver you from the ways of death.

"Friend I urge you, to serve Christ as if He only had you."

Psalms 84:9-12 #TPT
God, your wraparound presence is our defense. In your kindness look upon the faces of your anointed ones.
For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked.
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all!
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you!

2 Chronicles 7:14
14)and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
