DO NOT SABOTAGE YOURSELF: For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace” Romans 8:6 (ESV).
What controls our thinking that causes us to go down the wrong path is it fear, self-hatred, shame or something else. Do we or can we recognize what we let sabotage our minds body and spirit. Self-sabotage can hinder us from achieving our goals in moving forward to our destination. If we are letting certain behaviors led us down the wrong path over and over again then we are self-sabotaging ourselves. We don't have to be slaves to unconscious sins that leads to death rather than the life God wants us to experience. Jesus has freed us, and His Spirit can lead us down new paths.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Holy Spirit, reveal to us the ways we sabotage ourselves. We don't want to lie to ourselves any longer. Give us the courage to become the person You created us to be. Redirect us Oh Lord and save us from this untoward generation Amen. Minister Dellavon McCurdy.

CHOOSE YP LIVE IN GRACE: For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14
What does God's grace mean to you? Sin has a sneaky way of looking for a crack and snaking its way back into our lives. But Jesus came to offer us true freedom from the bo***ge of sin. And through His death, burial and resurrection, Paul tells us in Romans 6:6 that "our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin." You are free from that cruel slave master! So don't let him take control of you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Dear Lord Sin sometime may pop up and try to creep into our lives, but we ask that each day you create a new and right spirit inside of us. Help us to break old habits and give us the power to be strong against evil desires and temptations. Amen. Minister Dellavon McCurdy

GOD DOESN'T LET GO: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 KJV
Paul says that nothing can sever the bond between God and believers.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Dear Heavenly Father help us to understand that nothing we go through in this life can separates us from your love and the bond you have with us as believers as long as we hold a deep loving relationship with you. Amen. Minister Dellavon McCurdy

NO ANXIETIES:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
QUESTION: Do you do well in thinking about things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise? God's word promises that if we pray rather than worry about everything, telling Him what we need and thanking Him for what He has done, we will experience god's peace beyond all our understanding. God will give us inexplicable peace not everything we want that we think of. Focusing on Him will give us perfect peace.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Dear Lord help us to move forward with you peace and thinking on the things that will bring us peace and help us to know the spirit of the enemy when he tries to rearrange our thinking capacity. Amen. Minister Dellavon McCurdy

PATIENCE VERSES PRIDE: The end of a matter better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride. Ecclesiastes 7:8 NIV
Patience is a virtue. But it's a virtue that many of us struggle with on a daily basis--particularly when others are involved. Though we may pray for patience, it's hard to actually be patient in every situation.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Dear Lord, please give us patience. Remind us to be patient not just when we want to be, but in all situations. Help us to practice that virtue and model it every day. Amen. Minister Dellavon McCurdy
