Mark 4:35-40 #TPT
That same day, after it grew dark, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.”
Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples got into the boat in which Jesus was already sitting, and they took him with them. Other boats sailed with them.
Suddenly, as they were crossing the lake, a ferocious storm arose, with violent winds and waves that were crashing into the boat until it was nearly swamped.
But Jesus was calmly sleeping in the stern, resting on a cushion.
So they shook him awake, saying, “Teacher, don’t you even care that we are all about to die!” Fully awake, he rebuked the storm and shouted to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” All at once the wind stopped howling and the water became perfectly calm.
Then he turned to his disciples and said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Haven’t you learned to trust yet?”

Matthew 7:21-25 #TPT
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into heaven’s kingdom. It is only those who persist in doing the will of my heavenly Father.
On the day of judgment many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, don’t you remember us? Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons and do many miracles in your name?’
But I will have to say to them, ‘Go away from me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’
“Everyone who hears my teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation.
When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

Proverbs 3:5-10 #TPT
Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.
Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.
Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong.
Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for.
Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring him with your firstfruits, with every increase that comes to you.
Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

John 14:12-14 #TPT
“I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!
For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him.
Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!”

Acts 13:2-3 #TPT
While they were worshiping as priests before the Lord in prayer and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “I have called Barnabas and Saul to do an important work for me. Now, release them to go and fulfill it.”
So after they had fasted and prayed, they laid hands on them and sent them off.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 #TPT
For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims.
Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.
We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.
Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

Psalms 139:23-24 #TPT
God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares.
See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way— the path that brings me back to you.

Psalms 119:30-36 #TPT
I’ve chosen to obey your truth and walk in the splendor-light of all that you teach me.
Lord, don’t allow me to make a mess of my life, for I cling to your commands and follow them as closely as I can.
I will run after you with delight in my heart, for you will make me obedient to your instructions.
Give me revelation about the meaning of your ways so I can enjoy the reward of following them fully.
Give me an understanding heart so that I can passionately know and obey your truth.
Guide me into the paths that please you, for I take delight in all that you say.
Cause my heart to bow before your words of wisdom and not to the wealth of this world.

1 John 1:5-7 #TPT
This is the life-giving message we heard him share and it’s still ringing in our ears. We now repeat his words to you: God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him.
If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth.
But if we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin.

James (Jacob) 4:5-7 #TPT
Does the Scripture mean nothing to you that says, “The Spirit that God breathed into our hearts is a jealous Lover who intensely desires to have more and more of us”?
But He continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says, “God resists you when you are proud but continually pours out grace when you are humble.”
So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will flee in agony.

Proverbs 9:9-12 #TPT
Teach a wise man what is right and he’ll grow even wiser. Instruct the lovers of God and they’ll learn even more.
The starting point for acquiring wisdom is to be consumed with awe as you worship Yahweh. To receive the revelation of the Holy One, you must come to the one who has living-understanding.
Wisdom will extend your life, making every year more fruitful than the one before.
So it is to your advantage to be wise. But to ignore the counsel of wisdom is to invite trouble into your life.

Matthew 18:2-5 #TPT
Jesus called a little one to his side and said to them,
“Learn this well: Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable like a little child, you will never be able to enter in.
Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest one in heaven’s kingdom realm.
And if you tenderly care for this little one on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me.

Romans 12:9-15 #TPT
Let the inner movement of your heart always be to love one another, and never play the role of an actor wearing a mask. Despise evil and embrace everything that is good and virtuous.
Be devoted to tenderly loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another.
Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.
Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.
Take a constant interest in the needs of God’s beloved people and respond by helping them. And eagerly welcome people as guests into your home.
Speak blessing, not cursing, over those who reject and persecute you.
Celebrate with those who celebrate, and weep with those who grieve.
