Did You Know? (Day 1) | The Promises of God!

keeshonpatrick

Dear God, help me learn and teach Your promises! In Jesus name, amen!

This series was made to teach people the promises of God that are found throughout the entire Bible. As we learn these promises together, I pray that they impact our lives in ways that we could not even imagine. As you are learning never be afraid to share with others that might be impacted by the promises of God.

Promise #1: God Gives Strength To The Weary: Isaiah 40:31 “31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”

Promise #2: God Will Give You Rest: Matthew 11:28-30 “28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”“

Promise #3: God’s Love Never Fails: Isaiah 54:10 “10 For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you.”

Promises #4: God Has Redeemed Us: Colossians 1:13-14 “13 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us sin to the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.

Promises #5: God Will Fight For Us: Exodus 14:13-14 “13 But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. 14 The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.””

This moment gives me the opportunity to do something that is the sole purpose of why I started this blog. In Romans 10:9-10, the Bible says 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. I want to give you an opportunity rather it is your first or 100th time.

Read this aloud:

“Dear Father,

I now believe that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, that He came down to our earth in the flesh and died on the cross to take away all of my sins and the sins of this world. I believe that Jesus Christ then rose from the dead on the third day to give all of us eternal life.

Lord Jesus,

I now confess to You all of the wrong and sinful things that I have ever done in my life. I ask that You please forgive me and wash away all of my sins by the blood that You have personally shed for me on the cross. I am now ready to accept You as my personal Lord and Savior. I now ask that You come into my life and live with me for all of eternity.

Father, Jesus – I now believe that I am truly saved and born again.

Thank You Father.
Thank You Jesus.”

Maybe you had a relationship with God, but life happened. Today is the last day that you will allow yourself to fake perfection.

Say this aloud:

“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ.  I confess that I have fallen away from You.  I confess that I have sinned against You by backsliding away from You, Your ways and Your Word.  Like the prodigal son, Lord, I humbly ask for Your forgiveness for the evil I have done.  I repent and turn away from this evil life that I have lived.  I miss You so much!

I now recommit my life to You, Lord Jesus.  I just want to come home.  I want You to be the Lord of my life now and forever more.  Please forgive me for wandering and walking away from You.  I’m so sorry that I have hurt You.  I ask that my sins be washed away by Your Precious Blood.  I thank You for the price You paid so that I can be cleansed from all my sins!

Lord, fill me once again with Your Holy Spirit that I might live unto righteousness with You.  Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me O Lord.  I choose on this day, a new life.  As for me and my house, I choose to serve the Lord!

Thank You, Father, for restoring me into fellowship with You.  Thank You for the Blood of Jesus that has cleansed me.  Thank You that, like Peter, I am restored to fellowship with You, and I ask Lord, that we would continue our walk again.  Flow through me to advance the Kingdom every day of my life.  I ask all these things in the Name of Jesus.  Amen and Amen!”

If you said either of these aloud and you believed it in your heart. I would love to personally congratulate you and welcome you to the family. He led you to this post for a reason. He used it to open your heart and ease your burden. Never forget that He loves you and has plans for you, that you have not even planned for yourself. Let Him use you. Yield yourself, so that He can show you the plans He has for you. All it takes it just a little trust, in Matthew 17:20 the Bible says,“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

The Parable of the Lost Sheep!

keeshonpatrick

Dear God, may this post be the peace that someone is needing to be reminded that God is still chasing after them. God there is something about Your peace that we cannot explain, but we are blessed to partake in. God without You I am nothing, but with You I am everything. Allow someone to see this and make that decision to be with You. Lord forgive us all for our sins. In Jesus name, amen.

Today we will no longer allow the enemy to tell us that “God does not care about us” or that “we have strayed too far from God” If you find yourself feeling lost please know that God is searching endlessly for you! God WILL NOT stop until you are united again. God’s love WILL find a way. And when that love does find a way, God will rejoice, because you are back where you always belonged.

So if you are “The One”, say this aloud:

“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ.  I confess that I have fallen away from You.  I confess that I have sinned against You by backsliding away from You, Your ways and Your Word.  Like the prodigal son, Lord, I humbly ask for Your forgiveness for the evil I have done.  I repent and turn away from this evil life that I have lived.  I miss You so much!

I now recommit my life to You, Lord Jesus.  I just want to come home.  I want You to be the Lord of my life now and forever more.  Please forgive me for wandering and walking away from You.  I’m so sorry that I have hurt You.  I ask that my sins be washed away by Your Precious Blood.  I thank You for the price You paid so that I can be cleansed from all my sins!

Lord, fill me once again with Your Holy Spirit that I might live unto righteousness with You.  Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me O Lord.  I choose on this day, a new life.  As for me and my house, I choose to serve the Lord!

Thank You, Father, for restoring me into fellowship with You.  Thank You for the Blood of Jesus that has cleansed me.  Thank You that, like Peter, I am restored to fellowship with You and I ask Lord, that we would continue our walk again.  Flow through me to advance the Kingdom every day of my life.  I ask all these things in the Name of Jesus.  Amen and Amen!”

If you said this aloud and believed it in your heart. I would love to personally welcome you back. God’s grace and mercy never forgot about you. He led you to this post for a reason. He used it to meet you on the side of that hill of life. He loves you and has plans for you, that you have not even planned for yourself. Let Him use you. Yield yourself, so that He can show you the plans He has for you. If you feel that this post can help anyone, send it to them and ask them, “Are You The One?”

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow.

keeshonpatrick

Dear God, thank You for life. In the midst of a difficult season, what may even be considered as a storm, I am blessed to have You on my boat. God, I just want to say thank You. There are things right now that I am dealing with that only You can fix. God I know that there are people who will read this, that need that same grace and mercy. God I know that it will follow us for the rest of our days. God I ask that You heal that room and everyone in it. I ask that You touch and anoint everyone that comes in contact with this room. Whether visiting or working, God please give them the wisdom to do Your will. God, I thank You for being with us in the midst of the storm. Forgive us for our sins. For Your glory, Amen.

“The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There’ll be sun!”

These words have rang in my mind for weeks now. As I have found myself in a dark moment for these past few weeks. While looking for the sun, I remembered something crucial to my faith. Even when I do not have the sun shining in my life; I still have the son in my life. Everything that I could ever need comes from Him. In the moments that my life is dark, He is my light. Rather the sun comes out today, tomorrow, next week or next year… I can rest in knowing that the Son is with me.

But Who Are You As You Wait On The Sun (Son)?

Within these past few weeks my mind has been all over the place. While waiting on the sun, I have felt weak, sad, hopeless… But God. The one thing that has kept me grounded is my faith in Christ. Faith that has replaced my fears. I am stressed, but I am reassured in those same thoughts. God is so good, that He breaks through those negative moments and fills them with positivity; things like love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. He gave me fruit. Random Bible verses that I have put into my spirit, come to the forefront of my mind as I struggle through the days. God was with me. God was for me.

God has proved that even when waiting on Him, He is still there. His grace and mercies are new everyday. God is good to those who wait on him, because something happens when you wait. I cannot explain it fully, but what I can do is use moments my life as a testimony. As I have waited on God, I have learned just how dependent I am on Him. I was trying to make sense of this feeling that helped me stay content, even though I was going through a storm. Then God put Lamentations in front of me. This verse sums up everything that I had and have been feeling God do for me each day. Lamentations 3:22-25 says, “22 The steadfast love of the Lord NEVER ceases; His mercies NEVER come to an end; 23 they are new EVERY morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” 25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.”

When you look into the mirror, trust and believe that you are looking at someone who is given new grace and mercies everyday. Trust that even when the sun is not out in your life, that the Son is still in the midst of everything that you have going on. He is with you and He is for you!

You got this pops! Love you dad! Joy is coming soon. The sun will come soon, but until then remember that the Son is with us. Wait on the Lord pops, He will renew your strength!

One Year.

keeshonpatrick

Dear God, thank you. Wow, there is so many things on my mind today. I thank You for giving me the courage a year ago to be obedient to the call and challenge. From the beginning, I knew the seriousness of doing this blog. I knew what my life had to become in order to even share my thoughts. I knew all these things, but what I did not know is how much I would lean on You. I never would have imagined how much I would feel Your presence. God, you are so God. Through every post, I have always wanted to be used so that You could get the glory.

From the first post to now, God I thank You for guiding my hands and heart. People see the message, but I pray before I post and send it out… that they know it is a message from You through me. I am no good without You. I need You more and more, as I continue this journey. One year ago, I was anxious; fearful even. There were moments that I wanted to stop, there were moments that I almost let people end this whole thing. In those moments, I felt a shift. God, I began to lean on You. I began to put You first. I began to form a real relationship with You. I realized that I not only needed You in my life, but I wanted You in my life. Today more than ever, I feel that sentiment.

I do not want this to be super long, but I just wanted to thank You, God. Now I want to thank those who support the blog. For one year, you have read, shared, and given feedback. I thank any and every one who has taken their time to support me. I pray for you all daily, because I understand how hard life is and was this last year. I’ve prayed for your strength, your courage and peace of mind. I am here for you, whenever you need me. If you do not have my number, my socials are @keeshonpatrick on Instagram and Twitter. One thing I do not take lightly, is the opportunity to help or be a blessing in someone’s life. I pray that God continues to use me, to be a blessing in your life.

God please forgive me and my readers for our sins. Thank You again. In Your name, I pray Amen. P.S: I have a feeling that He is going to keep on getting better.
