Jesus Calling: July 1

I am Life and Light in abundance. As you spend time "soaking" in My Presence, you are energized and lightened. Through communing with Me, you transfer your heavy burdens to My strong shoulders. By gazing at Me, you gain My perspective on your life. This time alone with Me is essential for unscrambling your thoughts and smoothing out the day before you.
     Be willing to fight for this precious time with Me. Opposition comes in many forms: your own desire to linger in bed; the evil one's determination to distract you from Me; the pressure of family, friends, and your own inner critic to spend your time more productively. As you grow in your desire to please Me above all else, you gain strength to resist these opponents. Delight yourself in Me, for I am the deepest Desire of your heart.

Psalm 48:9
English Standard Version

We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
    in the midst of your temple.
 
Deuteronomy 33:12
English Standard Version

Of Benjamin he said,
“The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety.
The High God surrounds him all day long,
    and dwells between his shoulders.

Psalm 37:4
English Standard Version

Delight yourself in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

We are excited and looking forward to finding ALL the gifts and treasures of this first day, six more months of blessings this year and Your awesome power that is always at work in us.

    May joy, peace, love, great health, happiness and ALL things Jesus, chase us down this month and grant us dumbfounded testimonies to Your glory.

    4. I think I will get out of the bed now and go on with the day basking in the glorious light. I pray depression lifts and exuberant joy accompanies all of us in our walk today. I pray for all of us who are feeling the effects of Covid. May our God lift us up from our inner turmoil and restore in us our strength to continue to move forward. Thank you Father for the strength to move us along the next 24 hours Lord. Grant us the supply to carry out your will today. Thank you for waking us up this morning and for the light that we can follow so we can stay together close to you Lord. Thank you for rescuing each of us from the darkness! In Jesus name I pray, amen.

July will be a wonderful month because we have seen so much of His faithfulness in June. Praying for you and your family. He will wipe away every tear and turn your tears into dancing.

  3. Good Morning all,
    This weekend's message at church was given by an ex-Navy seal, what a powerful message he delivered. His message made me feel so proud to live in such a wonderful nation and also so proud of my son who is actively serving in the US Navy at this time. I ask for your prayers for all of our servicemen and service women who are serving this great country here and abroad. God has blessed us so much, living in this great country and so often we take things for granted. Oh Lord please never let us forget to thank You for bestowing upon us the opportunity to live in this great free country.
    Thank you Jesus for everything you do!

    1. God's Richest Blessings to all of you, JC Family. Yesterday, I was "attacked" by either something I ate or caught (thinking what I ate, b/c my hub was fine) and I knew by last night that I could not get up at 5:30 and go to work. I let my boss know, made sure my office was covered and went to bed thanking the Father for healing. I woke up, as usual, at 6:00 and put on my mask to make my room dark again. Ever since my husband's bone marrow transplant, where he was "tied" to a pole of IVs, and connected to everything, unable to move quickly, he has had a need to sleep with the blinds open, the BR door open - he just can't stand the thought of being 'trapped, or closed in.' At times, I would fight it and finally bought the mask, thinking it was a small price to pay to have my husband by my side! So, this morning, sleep came again and all I can say is, 'so far, so good,' as far as my gut being healed. I will rest today and bask in His Word and heal and rejuvenate. I am thankful that I am able to do this b/c a month ago, even a week ago, I would not have allowed myself this time. When I read JC, I recognized, in my case, it is my own 'inner critic to spend your time more productively," that often steals my peace. "As you grow in your desire to please Me above all else, you gain strength to resist these opponents. Delight yourself in Me, for I am the deepest Desire of your heart." I kept feeling prompted to read yesterday's JC again b/c it was early in the morning that I read and posted. What an incredible blessing to read of your healing, Terri! I join JJ, Maplewood, SassyMom and all of the other wonderful believers on this blog in continued prayer that we rejoice with those who are healed and weep with those who are sad and continue to pray for each others' deliverance for whatever the adversary has thrown at us to distract us from His mighty blessings. Anonymous, I am praying specifically for you to be rid of the anxiety and depression. I have been there and it is a lonely place and NOT God's desire for any of His children. You will be healed of it in the name of Jesus Christ, as you continue to pray and believe with all of us that you will receive healing.
      I join everyone on here with thankfulness for our men and women in service to our country. As we learned from our friend this last week, we enjoy a freedom that many others do not.
      Thank you for your prayers for my healing, JC Family. All of you are in mine. And, 10-4, as JJ said, I am praying for 'traveling mercies for your trip. I am so very thankful to be able to thank God for the first 6 months of this year, as Maplewood NJ, so beautifully reminded us and to look forward, with anticipation, to the next. I am also reminding myself to be IN this day and not get ahead of myself. To know, without a shadow of doubt, that all will be well in my office without me, because my Heavenly Father is the one in charge, not me. Peace and blessings to all of you this day.

  6. Wow what a message to me today. I almost didn't stop to read JC - left husband at hospital after an overnight stay with him so I could get home to get money shifted around to pay for 19 year old son's oral surgery - 4 wisdom teeth out this am - older son with husband. Please pray for son Jackson (teeth) Husband Jim - swallow test today - they may do feeding tube - he's on the third post-stroke hospitalization with respitory issues - concern is silent aspiration - feeding tube would be safer - pray for God's will for our family - oldest daughter to get engaged (surprise for her) this coming weekend - she and boyfriend are Believers - pray husband is out of hospital and can go (2 hours away) to surprise proposal party I am hosting with help of groom to be's mother.

    1. That is a lot on your plate, Susan, and you will be in my prayers! I was happy to see a report on Jim, as I have been praying for both of you. One of my daughters-in-law had 4 wisdom teeth removed last Friday. She did amazingly well! As a former Dental Assistant (another life, over 40 yrs ago), I am pleasantly amazed at the strides that have been made in this area! Praying specifically for Jim's swallow test. And, specifically for your sustained energy as you do all that you are doing. God Bless - and keep us updated!

    1. IA and Unknown --- Father God, I ask that you would knit together in love the marriages of IA and Unknown. Father, your promises say You will bless them exceedingly, and Yor hearts desire is to enlarge their coasts. Every satanic movement that is going against these marriages, I command the rain of fire to consume them, in Jesus' name. Father God, let your peace, joy, happiness and comfort saturate these marriages, in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen! Proverbs 3:33-35 " The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous." Remember, because of what Jesus did for us, we have been made righteous!! What a miracle and what grace did the Lord bestow upon us!!! Great blessings upon you from Kansas

  11. Thank you jesus. You are the healer. I want everyone to know that jesus just performed a miracle. I have had a very bad toothache for about a year now. This wasn't a regular tooth. It was the bottom back one that would have to be surgically removed from my mouth. I hadn't seen a dentist because I am a baby when it comes to that. And there have been some other issues as well, however. A few days ago my whole check had swollen up so bad it looked like someone had hit me and it hurt so much. I had prayed the night before last and yesterday morning when I woke up the swelling had gone down some and the pain had subsided but the problem was still there. Last night before bed I prayed to jesus and I woke up a little after 2 AM and the tooth just rolled right out of my mouth, root and all. I know that jesus is the healer, but he still doesn't cease to amaze me. I am testifying to all. I want the world to know just how wonderful he is. Praise the Lord continously. He is with us always. Thank you jesus. I love you Lord.

  15. Our most Gracious Loving Father, We come to You this morning with hearts filled with so much Love, Gratitude, and Honor to Your glory. We have entered a new day and a new month. It was not by our might, but only by Your LOVE, Your SUPERNATURAL Power, Your Strength, and Your amazing Grace that kept and sustained us. Words of gratitude will never be enough to express how we feel, but we start with THANK YOU! Thank You for keeping us covered under the precious Blood of JESUS. We are excited about the amazing blessings You have in store for us.

    You were enough for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), Moses, Elijah, David, Joseph etc.,and we want You to know that You are ENOUGH for us! Cause us to hear Your loving-kindness in every awaken morning (Psalm 143:8). As we grow stronger, our faith in You grows deeper.
    May the blessings of this new month enlighten what is dark in us, strengthen what is weak in us, mend all the broken pieces, heal what is sick in us, revive the peace and love that may have died in us and grant us unspeakable joy. Show us our assignments, show us how You want us to start this new day, show us where to go, give us the word to speak, put someone in our path to bless and encourage, grant us wisdom and Your guidance, because Lord, there is never a time that You won’t hear us, and never a time that You won’t care, NEVER! ,
    We pray this morning for restoration.
    We bring all the concerns and needs to You because someone is crying out to You this second, someone needs Your help, someone needs hope, someone needs to be reminded of Your promises and Who You are, someone wants to end their life, the elderly are locked up in their homes, some alone, some in hospitals with no one to visit or talk to and like David said in Psalm 142, they are crying out to You saying: WHERE ARE YOU LORD?, “bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name”!
    Father, we stand in the gap for them this new day, asking that You grant them the hope that only You can give, the peace, the love, the healing, the provision, the comfort and ALL that they need. Why? because we TRUST in Your unconditional Love, Your Sovereignty, Your Majestic Power, Your Your Promises, Your Provision and Your Restoration. Remind them that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). You are the God of ALL possibilities, the Miracle working God, the Promise Keeper, our Light in the darkness, our Bright and morning Star, the Sustainer and Giver of life, the Great I AM who will NEVER fail us! Thank You for hearing and answering us.

    Thank You for our families, friends, love ones, our church leaders, our neighbors, church family, our doctors/nurses, our leaders in government, health, shelter, food, jobs, life’s necessities and those You put in our path to help make our lives better. May we never take them for granted, but cherish and give thanks to You always. We thank You also for our enemies, because they help keep us on our knees. We belong to You Lord, not ourselves. Help us to be still and know that You are God, You will be exalted among the heathen and You will be exalted in the earth (Psalm 46:10).You have given us the mind of Christ, so help us to act as representatives to Him so others can see His Light in and through us and glorify You. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen!

    JC family, I pray for you and your families to our Father, that the Blood of Jesus His Son speak and fight for you in every area of your life, fill you with love, health and healing, inner-peace, courage, strength, confidence, patience, hope and sunshine, each day of this month. May all your struggles turn into blessings and may the Praises of the Lord never depart from your lips, but thrust you into a supernatural spiritual awaken like you never imagine!‘Delight Yourself in Him, for He is the deepest desire of your heart’!

    BLESSINGS and PEACE!

  17. Prayers please for truth to flood my sons mind. For memories of the great love that has surrounded him all his life to stand out and fight any opposing thoughts. For the love of God to envelope Him in protection. And safety. For us ( His loving parents) to be able to be strong and patient and loving and kind despite any harsh words or rejection directed at us, for we know these words are merely letters strung together and have no truth or meaning behind them. For freedom for our son, that he will continue to see His doctor who will be connected to you Lord in determining h His treatment. You will find a way, Waymaker despite appearances.
    Lord we know you are faithful and always have the last word, we ask In JESUS name for all of these requests and your perfect plan for our families life journey to be realized. We love you heavenly Father and surrender it all to you. Please join me in agreement Saints. My thanks cannot be expressed there are no words for how appreciative I am for your prayers. God bless you and know I am praying for all of you as well and thanking God for you. Peace

      I was lost for most of my life. By the grace of God and prayers from others I was brought into his heavenly light. I know from experience that nothing is impossible or too late with the Lord. Persistence is very important to God, I have learned. I am praying for your son's return into his father's loving, open arms. Praise the Lord continously. Amen.

Let's really invite him into every area of our life and follow him without wavering. He is the answer, the truth, and our solution. We should stop thinking of the things we lack and thank Him for all the things He has blessed us with. Just the light of a new day in the morning and air to breathe and food to eat, and most of all. thank Him for being our great God. He will lead us through tomorrow and every day as long as we acknowledge Him in all things. Praying for you my brother.

    There is no shadow of turning with Thee,

    Great is Thy faithfulness!
    Great is Thy faithfulness!
    Morning by morning new mercies I see
    All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
    Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

    Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
    Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above;
    Join with all nature in manifold witness,
    To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

    Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
    Thine own great presence to cheer and to guide;
    Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow
    Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

  20. Great is Thy faithfulness! When I got home from the hospital and Rick had eaten his lunch and was doing well, I took a nap because I was up a lot of the night with little Gabriel. In my mind, I saw Jesus holding his arms out to me and I ran into them just like a child into the arms of her Daddy and I actually saw His face smiling down at me with so much love. What a feeling. I awoke feeling so refreshed. But I'm up very late so off to bed I go. God bless you, dear family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for your prayers. We pray for each other. Thank You Jesus!

  21. Heavenly Father, thank You for the memory of the "dental surgery" You performed a year ago today on me. You blessed me with a wonderful miracle and You have blessed me with many others before then and after. Every day is another amazing miracle from You and forgive me for not seeing, appreciating, or being grateful for all that You do for me. I love, praise, and adore You Lord. There is no other in my life, but You. You mean the world to me. Please guide me in the right direction in my life. I really need Your guidance. I come to You in my time of need because I trust in You. You will take care of me and will not forsake me. Thank You for being in my life and always there for me. I praise You Lord always. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
    Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn't make us lose hope. Others make us suffer. But God does not desert us. We are knocked down. But we are not knocked out. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9). The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (Psalm 121:7-8).

  23. Thank you in advance all of the JC prayer ��warriors: My good friend, Margi is in need of prayers. She is a spina bifida gal, and is 53( which in itself is a miracle). She's been in a nursing home several years, due to a stroke and is now in a wheelchair.( we call it her Margi mobile) Her problem is that she only has one kidney that is at 30%, and has to rely on being cathed every 4 hours. Since this doesn't happen regularly, She's prone to severe UTI's. She's been in the hospital three times in a month, and can't seem to lick this problem. They started an IV on her, and hope this will nip it it the bud. Thank you dear community, I too, pray for you all, and know and believe in the power of prayer.

Let me be of good courage and passion to do what You created me to do. Help me share You and Your word with others in the world. Let me be Your witness in the world and let my light shine bright for Your glory. Let others be blessed by Your presence within all of us. I am so grateful for You. I'm nothing without You Lord. Lead me onward and help me to be a blessing to others for Your glory. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. Thank You Jesus. Praise You Lord always.
    Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 4:10-11). Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58). You were called to freedom ... do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13).

  32. Our Dear Dear Sweet Sister in Christ, (((SASSY MOM))),
    Praying that all your heavy burdens are transferring over to God's Strong Shoulders and His Helping Hands in Jesus' Name. Amen
    EN VOYAGE
    There’s a ship sailing on to His Harbor,
    To His Haven of safety and rest;
    It’s a ship of God’s fashion and making,
    And its voyage by Him is blessed.
    It departed in silence and beauty,
    With the Master, Himself, in command;
    And with dignity truly majestic
    It sailed out of sight from all land.

    There will always be clear skies above it;
    There will always be calmness below;
    It is now free from all storm harassment,
    For The Master is on it, you know,
    And His Wisdom will carry it safely
    To the port of His Infinite Peace,
    Where the light of His Love will protect it
    With blessings that always increase.

    You have watched it sail onward and upward,
    With tears of regret in your eyes,
    For our Debbi was sailing upon it,
    And there’s grief when you’re saying goodbyes.
    Yet your tears would be tears of rejoicing,
    And your heart would be happy and free,
    If you could look for only a moment
    On that ship that is sailing to sea.

    For the Debbi we love is at leisure,
    Freed from worry and troubles and care;
    She’s in contentment beyond all understanding,
    In the way God’s passengers fare.
    And you’d know from your own observation
    That her sailing was joyful-not grim,
    For her new life and new living
    Mean sweet closer contact with Him.

    Oh, the solace there is in the knowledge
    Life is life and it always will be,
    It’s simply a change in direction
    When we sail on His Ship out to sea.
    And the tears that we shed for our loved one
    Are in truth shed for us left behind,
    For it hurts to give her back to Our Master,
    Though we know He is Gentle and Kind.

    Believe in His Great and Good Wisdom,
    Trust in Him as you patiently wait;
    On His Ship, God is ever the Pilot,
    And now the Debbi we love is First Mate.

    With all our Love for Debbi and for you.

    1. You have such incredibly strong and believing faith, Sassy Mom, that in this time of tremendous loss and heartache of losing Debbi and Miss Pat you know to put it all on "HIS strong shoulders" and He will carry this pain for and with you. While songs don't make grieving and pain go away, I find they can express my feelings well at times. There is a Zach Williams song that helped with that after my niece passed suddenly last year. Maybe it could help you too. Wish I could physically hug and hold you, Sassy Mom, but I know you have God doing that for you as I type this. You will continue to stay in my prayers.

His resume is perfect, and we CAN trust HIS word will never lie and his faithfulness is proven PERFECT time and time again.

My daughter’s pet scan showed some suspicious areas , so she had further tests and will get results in a week or so. This is an obviously a concern for us and for her, and we ask for your healing prayers and good results for her. My husband has a neuromuscular condition and also a bad hip, and we are trying to decide (with doctors) if having the hip replacement would aggravate the muscle problems. He is a strong active man and has not been able to do his favorite sports, and has pain even with walking. Will you pray with me for discernment and healing for both? God HAS THE ANSWER for both of my dear ones. Many blessings and may God grant you joy, peace and healing for yourself and your families. You are God’s agents of prayer. Amen and Amen

  54. So thankful as I head to bed tonight. Thankful for my Tremendous Trio: Jeanne, Audra, Brie. THANK YOU for our time on the phone and your prayers. Many decisions to make and I'm thankful for your prayers, encouragement. I leave you with this song as I head to bed. Tired, feeling kind of beaten up by this world, but our God is BIGGER than all Satan throws our way.
    Love to all of you JC Family. Continual Prayers and thanksgiving.
