Matthew 16:24-27 #TPT
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.
For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?
I, the Son of Man, will one day return with my messengers and in the splendor and majesty of my Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you." -Psalm 143:8 🌄💞
James (Jacob) 1:22-25 #TPT
Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life!
If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning.
You perceive how God sees you in the mirror of the Word , but then you go out and forget your divine origin.
But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the truth they hear and are strengthened by it—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do!

I will love thee, O Lord , my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I may live in a tent instead of a house... but as long as I live upright, I shall fluorish. (Proverbs 14:11)

"Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." -John 21:25 📝🌎📚

Psalms 119:5-8 #TPT
How I long for my life to bring you glory as I follow each and every one of your holy precepts!
Then I’ll never be ashamed, for I take strength from all your commandments.
I will give my thanks to you from a heart of love and truth. And every time I learn more of your righteous judgments,
I will be faithful to all that your Word reveals— so don’t ever give up on me!

Happy Sunday! ❤️ This Sunday morning I'm sat in church in total freedom... a full worship team on stage, the room full of people and the Word is being preached with no restriction. As I'm sat here, I can't help but think of our brothers and sisters around the world today who are totally unable to experience that same freedom. I pray I never become so distracted by my own comfort that my heart forgets to keep them in constant prayer.
This past week, more than a dozen Christians were arrested in China's latest house church raid. Keep the church and its members in your prayers 🙏🏼

“These young people in China get it. Despite persecution (real persecution, as in, some of their leaders and peers have been jailed for their Christian faith), they meet secretly in underground discipleship classes. Please pray that these young people will be used to transform society and expand the Kingdom of God in China and beyond” #WithinReachGlobal
Matthew 15:17-20 #TPT
Is it hard to understand that whatever you eat enters the stomach only to pass out into the sewer?
But what comes out of your mouth reveals the core of your heart. Words can pollute, not food.
You will find living within an impure heart evil ideas, murderous thoughts, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, lies, and slander.
That’s what pollutes a person. Eating with unwashed hands doesn’t defile anyone.”

Ephesians 1:3-4 #TPT
Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.

Romans 8:1-4 #TPT
So now the case is closed . There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.
For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.
For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us his Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave his body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin.
So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!

Psalms 46:1-5 #TPT
God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in time of trouble— more than enough and always available whenever I need you.
So we will never fear even if every structure of support were to crumble away. We will not fear even when the earth quakes and shakes, moving mountains and casting them into the sea.
For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves cannot erode our faith in you.
Pause in his presence
God has a constantly flowing river whose sparkling streams bring joy and delight to his people. His river flows right through the city of God Most High, into his holy dwelling places.
God is in the midst of his city, secure and never shaken. At daybreak his help will be seen with the appearing of the dawn.

Psalms 14:1-6 #TPT
Only the withering soul would say to himself, “There is no God.” Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous, devoid of what is good.
Yahweh looks down in love , looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters. He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him.
But everyone has wandered astray, walking stubbornly toward evil. Not one is good; he can’t even find one.
They live in luxury while exploiting my people! Won’t these workers of wickedness ever learn? They don’t ever think of praying to God.
But look at them now, in panic, trembling with terror. For God is on the side of his godly lovers .
Yahweh is always the safest place for the poor when the workers of wickedness oppress them.

O LORD, our God, how majestic is Your name. The nations rage against You as they seek to destroy Your faithful church. While I can’t fathom the terror they are encountering, I speak Psalm 91 over them. I ask that Your miraculous hand will keep the believers in Myanmar as invisible against the hoard of the enemy. Father, raise up Your banner-LORD MOST HIGH. Dispatch Your warrior angels to come to the defense of these precious brothers and sisters of ours. Help!! Your word says You will never allow the righteous to beg for bread. I beseech You Lord to feed, protect, and strengthen that which remains. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
