22 He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church.

PRAYER IS SO IMPORTANT 6-12-26

PRAYER IS SO IMPORTANT 6-12-26  VIDEO

Our prayers make the difference. They’re filled with power because we pray with the Father with the Son and Holy Spirit to be an agreement with us. Prayer is vital. It absolutely always has been. When we pray we communicate with God directly. Prayer overcomes, anxiety and brings peace. Before the day begins before distractions loom spend time with God.

MATT 6:7 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God.

8 Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.

9 With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are.   MSG

MATT 7:7 “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need.

8 This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in.

9 If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust?

10 If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?

11 As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?

12 “Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get.   MSG

EPH 1:15 That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the Christians,

16 I couldn’t stop thanking God for you – every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks.

17 But I do more than thank. I ask – ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory – to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally,

18 your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for Christians,

19 oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him – endless energy, boundless strength!  MSG

PHIL 4:6 Let no anxiety about anything distract you! Rather translate moments into prayerful worship, and soak your requests in gratitude before God! 

7 And in this place of worship and gratitude you will witness how the peace of God within you echoes the awareness of your oneness in Christ Jesus beyond the reach of any thought that could possibly unsettle you. Just like the sentry guard secures a city, watching out in advance for the first signs of any possible threat, your deepest feelings and the tranquillity of your thoughts are fully guarded there.  MIRROR

JN 15:19 If you lived on the world’s terms, the world would love you as one of its own. But since I picked you to live on God’s terms and no longer on the world’s terms, the world is going to hate you. MSG

ROM 5:8 Herein is the extremity of God’s love gift: mankind was rotten to the core when Christ died their death.
9 If God could love us that much when we were ungodly and guilty, how much more are we free to realize his love now that we are declared innocent by his blood?
10 Our hostility and indifference towards God did not reduce his love for us; he saw equal value in us when he exchanged the life of his Son for ours. Now that the act of reconciliation is complete, his life in us saves us from the gutter-most to the uttermost. MIRROR

ROM 13:10 You can’t go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code, the sum total is love. MSG

1 COR 2:9 That’s why we have this Scripture text: No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it – What God has arranged for those who love him. MSG

1 COR 13:4 Love is large in being passionate about life and relentlessly patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others with kindness. Love is completely content and strives for nothing. Love has no desire to make others feel inferior and has no need to sing its own praises.
5 Love is predictable and does not behave out of character. Love is not ambitious. Love is not spiteful and gets no mileage out of another’s mistakes; it bears no record of wrongs! MIRROR

1 COR 14:1 Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it – because it does. Give yourselves to the gifts God gives you. Most of all, try to proclaim his truth. MSG

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING 6-5-26 VIDEO
I love the story of the woman with the issue of blood. For many years, she felt like she had to stay away from people because she was conscious of being ceremonisly unclean. But something went off inside her when she heard about Jesus. She changed her thinking and her life changed. She was healed. Your thoughts conduct what you believe and what you do. Our thoughts shape our character. Where to watch the words of our mouth. Your thoughts how you think become clear when it comes from your heart.
MK 5:28 She was thinking to herself, “If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well.”
29 The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with.
30 At the same moment, Jesus felt energy discharging from him. He turned around to the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”
31 His disciples said, “What are you talking about? With this crowd pushing and jostling you, you’re asking, ‘Who touched me?’ Dozens have touched you!”
32 But he went on asking, looking around to see who had done it.
33 The woman, knowing what had happened, knowing she was the one, stepped up in fear and trembling, knelt before him, and gave him the whole story.
34 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, you took a risk of faith, and now you’re healed and whole. Live well, live blessed! Be healed of your plague.” MSG

2 COR 10:5 Every lofty idea and argument positioned against God’s knowledge of us, is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We arrest every thought at spear point – anything that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence is taken captive. The caliber of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the ultimate consequence of the obedience of Christ. MIRROR

ROM 12:2 Do not allow current religious tradition to mold you into its pattern of reasoning. Like an inspired artist, give attention to the detail of God’s desire to find expression in you.

8 Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
9 Put into practice the example of all that you have heard from me or seen in my life and the God of peace will be with you in all things. TPT

COL 1:21-23 You yourselves are a case study of what he does. At one time you all had your backs turned to God, thinking rebellious thoughts of him, giving him trouble every chance you got.
22 But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God’s side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence.
23 You don’t walk away from a gift like that! You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted. There is no other Message – just this one. Every creature under heaven gets this same Message. I, Paul, am a messenger of this Message. MSG
