SUMMARY:Philippians 3:3
DESCRIPTION:Philippians 3:3 For we have already experienced “heart-circumcision\,” and we worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit\, not in laws and religious duties. We are those who boast in what Jesus Christ has done\, and not in what we can accomplish in our own strength. (TPT) \nWhat governs your worship? \nIf you attend a church or ministry that is very religious in its practices\, you can sometimes get lost in your pursuit of God. You will come to realize a lot of what you see happening is custom and tradition. It gives foundation to your relationship with God. It does not enhance or sustain it. What happens if you don’t wear white on the first Sunday; if you don’t wear “Sunday clothes” to go to church or if you don’t bring your palms together and close your eyes when you pray? There are a lot of “religious practices” done because our parents got them from their parents\, who got them from their parents\, et cetera\, et cetera. They handed them down through generations. Why? Because someone who had a relationship with God did it\, and a custom or tradition was born. There is nothing wrong with doing these things but\, you should not base your relationship with God on them. \n1 Samuel 16:7 Take no notice of his looks or his height. He is not the one\, for the Eternal One does not pay attention to what humans value. Humans only care about the external appearance\, but the Eternal considers the inner character. (TVT) \nPure communion builds your connection with God. You will develop a relationship with the Father\, by worshipping\, praying\, and studying. Your bond with Him will govern how you respond because of what is in your heart\, not by human requirements. As you fellowship with the Father\, He changes your heart\, your actions\, and your reactions. Then the Holy Spirt leads what you do\, as an act of worship. No one governs or regulates you. When you stand\, bow\, pray\, weep\, etc.\, is will be in response to a move of God inside of you. You will show outwardly what God is doing inwardly. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for bringing me to the place where You ordain every expression of my worship. I follow Your leading by the Holy Spirit. You tell me when to give You more or a different or even unique form of worship. I repent for trying to regulate what it means to love You and how I should show my love for You. I am thankful I came to You for instruction. Through our time spent together\, You taught me ways to show You how much I love You. I am grateful. You’ve shown me how to worship You in song\, in dance\, when standing\, when sitting\, by extending my hands\, closing my eyes\, just to name a few. You have also shown me how to worship You in my conversation and in my attitude as I am moved by You. I thank You\, Father\, for accepting my worship as long as it is sincere and pure. I have the liberty to worship You out of the abundance of my heart. I can pour myself out to You and You receive me because of Jesus\, not because I have followed the rules and regulations of worship. His death and resurrection sanctifies me\, washes me\, and places me before You with a pure heart and I worship…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:    \n

SUMMARY:Ephesians 2:18
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 2:18 Because of Christ both Jew and Gentile now enjoy equal access to the Father in one Spirit. (TMB) \nDoes God have a pecking order?  \nAre there times in your life when you feel left out? It may be on your job and the boss talks to everybody\, except you. It may be in your church\, and the pastor or ministry leaders do not seem to respond to you. Do you wonder if you are important enough? How did you resolve this for yourself? Where you able to identify the reason it “seems” you are being ignored? Did you decide the church\, company or group has a pecking order\, and you are on the bottom. That might be the case. Or you may have some insecurities and/or some other issues that a little time on “God’s comfy couch” can solve. Either way\, isn’t it good to know\, with the Lord your God\, you have equal access? \nGalatians 3:26-29 You have all become true children of God by the faith of Jesus the Anointed One! 27 It was faith that immersed you into Jesus\, the Anointed One\, and now you are covered and clothed with his anointing. 28 And we no longer see each other in our former state—Jew or non-Jew\, rich or poor\, male or female—because we’re all one through our union with Jesus Christ with no distinction between us. 29 And since you’ve been united to Jesus the Messiah\, you are now Abraham’s “child” and inherit all the promises of the kingdom realm! (TPT) \nYour understanding of who you are and Whose you are is important in battle. It is important that you know God hears you and is with you. You are not expendable. He will not leave you to be defeated by the enemy because He is saving someone else more important than you. We are all precious to Him. There is no pecking order. He does not talk to some and not to you. He does not want to be friends with some and not be your friend. There is no waiting for your turn. He is everywhere at the same time. This truth is particularly important when you are in an environment\, be it the local church or anywhere believers congregate\, where it seems like one person’s feelings carry more weight. To the Father\, though we may have different jobs and callings in the kingdom; we are all the same\, and that is a blessing. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for accepting me. I don’t have to stand in a line behind someone else. I am valuable to You and You are available to me. Though I know You are everywhere and all knowing. I repent for treating You as if You were human. You don’t put me on hold because someone more important is trying to reach You. Thank You for truly loving me the same as everyone else. I am more than grateful because there is no weighted class system in heaven. I can come to You\, boldly. I can hear from You and I thank You for that. I’m not a second-class citizen period and especially not when it comes to my communication with You. I thank You for the peace You give me when I feel alone. I give You glory and I give You honor. Knowing how You feel about me and how You treat me elevates my view of me…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Peter 1:12
DESCRIPTION:2 Peter 1:12 Therefore\, I will always be ready to remind you of these things\, even though you already know them and are established in the truth which is held firmly in your grasp. (AMP) \nAre you walking in offense to words spoken in love? \nWhen you have people in your life who love God\, study the word and spend time with God; they will sometimes say things to you that challenge you. Depending on where you are emotionally\, it may smart a bit. This is not your battle. Your battle is with your own emotions. \nProverbs 15:32 Those who disregard discipline sabotage themselves\, but those who are open to correction gain understanding. (TVT) \nYou know what the word says\, and they know it. They are not judging you. They are not finding fault in your behavior. They love you enough to tell you what they believe. They love God enough to comment on what they think they see. It may be something you are doing or did; something you are saying or said; or a position you are taking or have taken. Whatever it is\, they felt it warranted a reminder. Sometimes it’s hard to hear. At that the end of the day\, you want people in your life who will challenge you to continue to examine yourself through the word. You want people to point things out. Not beat you over the head\, simply remind you. Yes\, you have the Holy Spirit to bring back to your remembrance everything the father has taught you through prayer\, study\, etc.. That’s a good thing. However\, the people who love you will say what they feel because they love you. They are teaching you to fight by helping you identify where the battle is. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for the people in my life who love me enough to remind me of Your truth. I repent for becoming irritated\, for thinking they were judging me or thinking they had no right to speak to me. I know You sent the Holy Spirit to be my comforter\, guide\, and instructor. You also sent friends and a multitude of council. I thank You for the men and women who are that multitude and create safety for me. They speak to me and they are the iron that sharpens my iron. They love me through my responses even when I am not acting in a lovable fashion. They help me become spiritually mature. I pray they continue to do Your will\, that I submit to their correction\, and that You are glorified…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 14:3
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 14:3 But the one who prophesies inspires his audience constructively and comforts them with encouragement and instruction. (TMB) \nAre you listening for a prophetic word? \nHave you been in services where\, no matter what the sermon was about\, the last word was about giving money and sowing into your blessing? Have you been in services where all the prophecies were new houses\, new cars\, promotions and/or pay increases on jobs and other kinds of elevation? There is nothing wrong with social and economic increase. However\, the focus should always be on God and not on stuff and things. On the other hand\, have you been in services where a person received the truth they needed. Did you witness them submit and acknowledge the need to allow the Lord to turn their life around? You will answer these questions based on the experiences you have had. Always keep in mind\, it is not for anyone to say whether any experience was/is a true move of God. When God manifests Himself\, the Spirit within you will bear witness to you\, depending on your relationship with God. What you have to do is listen for a word from the Lord in the midst of it all. Listen intently\, no matter what is going on\, who is talking\, or who is being spoken to. When you understand the purpose of the prophet and words that are prophesied\, you will want to listen with your ears and with your spirit as well. \n2 Peter 1:20-21 You must understand this at the outset: Interpretation of scriptural prophecy requires the Holy Spirit\, for it does not originate from someone’s own imagination. 21 No true prophecy comes from human initiative but is inspired by the moving of the Holy Spirit upon those who spoke the message that came from God. (TPT) \nWhen someone gives you a prophetic word\, it will resonate with you because your Heavenly Father has been trying to get your attention for a while. A true prophetic word will not be something that will strike you as strange. Also\, keep in mind\, a prophetic word does not have to come from someone standing in a pulpit or in a church at all. God can send a word for you through a co-worker; someone you meet at the grocery store or at the gas station\, through a song on the radio\, a commercial on the television\, etc. The prophetic word comes to relay God’s message\, instruct\, and guide. The true prophetic word is the heart of God. God uses a person to share His heart\, without reservation; telling you what He wants you to do and often giving you the consequences of disobedience. \n1 Samuel 16:4 So Samuel did what the Lord said\, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming\, and said\, “Do you come peaceably?” (NKJV) \nThis is the prophetic word you should listen for; even though it may not always make you happy. If you are listening in the Spirit\, you then can make the choice to adhere to the words spoken by realigning your behavior to accommodate what God wants. If you do\, you will bless God and reap the benefits of obedience to a specific command of God. Your only goal is to hear God speak and obey His voice. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for the prophetic words You have sent to me and those You send to the world. I repent for always looking for a blessing upon blessing word. Thank You for a word that causes me to focus my attention on You and not on what I want\, what I hope for\, or I dream of having. I thank You for a word that requires something of me. I know when I listen\, by Your Spirit\, I will not hear Your word and continue to do what I’ve been doing without pause or reflection. Your word takes hold of me and convicts and humbles me. I am compelled to change my attitude and my behavior. Thank You for not giving up on me when You tried to correct me\, and I was not listening. You loved me enough to send someone to speak to me. You wanted me to hear You finally and change. I have found Your word instructs me when I need to change\, encourages me when I am on the right path\, and gives me confidence when I am unsure. You want to get the best out of my life\, and I am grateful…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:    \n

SUMMARY:Acts 2:42
DESCRIPTION:Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship\, and in breaking of bread\, and in prayers. (KJV) \nAre you taking the time to have fun with other believers? \nSometimes you may feel as if you want to or even need to be alone. Whether you characterize yourself as a loner or just give in to the feeling\, you also need to be around believers. You need to fellowship with them. You don’t always have to be in a church setting. You can have dinner\, conversation\, and fun. \nEcclesiastes 2:24 Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink\, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also\, I saw\, was from the hand of God. (NKJV) \nActs 20:11 When he had gone back up and had broken the bread and eaten\, he talked with them a long while until daybreak\, and then left. (NASB) \nIt is always great to hear about the lives and the testimonies of people who enjoy their walk with the Lord. It is encouraging and increases your faith. Christianity should not be a drudgery\, and you should not feel as if you’re missing out on something. Your fellowship with believers allows you to see that you are not missing out\, you are actually gaining! You can see how God moves in their lives and how He can move in your life. You can laugh and relax with believers. You can also pray for and with them. Live your life with those who love God as much as you or more. It will strengthen your walk with the Lord. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for all the believers You have placed in my life. I pray with them and worship with them. I’m also able to laugh with them. I know those who are close to me get to laugh every day just watching me seek You and serve You. They help me laugh at my situations and theirs as well. Thank You for those believers I can watch a movie with\, and we can talk about it. Thank You for those believers who will take time away from their lives to share lunch or share dinner. Thank You for those believers who help me enjoy my life; all of it and glorify You for it…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:    \n

SUMMARY:Ephesians 5:2
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love\, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us\, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. (NKJV) \nAre you showing Jesus’ love?  \nWhen you think about the love that Jesus has for you; what comes to mind? Probably how good it makes you feel\, how safe and cared for. Does the fact that He died for you and the way He died come to mind also? Jesus was in glory. He took on the shell of fallen man\, suffered\, was persecuted\, was betrayed\, and crucified. Jesus\, because He is a part of the Trinity\, understood the love God has for Him. What is more important\, He understood and loves you with the same love God has for you. He walked in God’s love when He walked on this earth.  \nRomans 5:7-8 Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man\, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die. 8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners\, Christ (the Messiah\, the Anointed One) died for us. (AMPC) \nYou should have the same determination to walk in God’s love. Jesus made it possible because He got up from the grave on the third day. Does it mean you may be persecuted\, betrayed\, crucified? Yes\, Yes and Yes. No more hangings on crosses\, however\, your flesh has to die. Stop feeling sorry for yourself because you have to go through now and again. Stop rebuking the devil every time something does not go your way. \nMatthew 5:43-48 You have heard that it was said\, ‘You shall love your neighbor (fellow man) and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you\, love [that is\, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you\, 45 so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good\, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant\, those who oppose Him]. 46 For if you love [only] those who love you\, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers [wishing them God’s blessing and peace]\, what more [than others] are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles [who do not know the Lord] do that? 48 You\, therefore\, will be perfect [growing into spiritual maturity both in mind and character\, actively integrating godly values into your daily life]\, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (AMP) \nHold your head up because God has chosen you to show His love while you are in this world. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, when I think about Jesus from a human perspective\, I stand in even more awe of Your love. Jesus acknowledged and sacrificed His life as a symbol of Your love for Him and for me. I can’t even imagine it. He saw His sacrifice as love. He obeyed You because He understood You loved Him\, and You loved me. Father\, I know there is no sacrifice I can ever make\, on any day\, that could be mentioned in the same breath as the sacrifice Jesus made. However\, I know I still have sacrifices to make. I repent for ever wanting to serve You without sacrificing. I know You love me. So now\, as I look at my life and I look at the things I go through every day; I want to see them through the eyes of Your love for me. I want to go through whatever You have placed in my path or I have placed in my path as I become the person You ordained for me to be. Your love drives me. Your love draws me. Your love keeps me safe and secure. Your love also requires me to grow up\, learn to deal with each situation as it comes\, and not have a pity party every time I do through a trial…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 15:4
DESCRIPTION:John 15:4 Abide in me\, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself\, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye\, except ye abide in me. (KJV) \nAre you abiding?  \nThe gardener cuts a tree’s branches for a wide variety of reasons. According to the Washington County Forestry Board\, those reasons are: \n\nTo remove co-dominant leaders. Co-dominant leaders are two branches growing near the top of a tree that grow straight up and become equally dominant. Cutting off one allows the other branch to grow and become the dominant branch. This prevents the branches from splitting and tearing wood that is often a problem in heavy winds.\n\nTo encourage fruit production. Any type of tree that produces fruit benefits from pruning. By removing dead limbs\, you’re promoting better health in the tree\, since dead wood makes the tree more susceptible to insect infestation and disease.\n\nTo treat disease. Pruning can treat disease the tree may have. Also\, pruning can prevent disease from spreading.\n\nJohn 15:1-3 I am the true grapevine\, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit\, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. (NLT) \nYou are a branch. God prunes you for the same reason the gardener prunes trees. There can be times when the anointing on your life flows with such an amazing manifestation of God’s power. If you are not careful\, you can forget it is not you. You could find yourself\, like Lucifer did\, trying to be a co-dominant leader. If you don’t humble yourself\, you will extend too far and God will have to prune you.  \nIsaiah 14:12-14 “How you are fallen from heaven\, O Lucifer\, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground\, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven\, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds\, I will be like the Most High.’ (NKJV) \nThere can also be times when you rest on what you did years ago instead of looking for God to continue to do work in and through you. By using those memories as fertilizer and not as a podium\, you can make way for new and greater works. \nPhilippians 1:6  I am confident that the Creator\, who has begun such a great work among you\, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed\, our Liberating King\, returns to redeem the world. (TVT) \nFinally\, you can become defiled (diseased) in your heart when you forget who you are. When that happens\, you worship the creation and not the creator; you try to use the gifts that belong to the Lord for your own purpose; you read your own headlines; and ultimately believe the same lie the devil believed. The Father must prune you to help you remember He is the one who is worthy to be praised\, not you. \nRomans 1:25 How? By choosing a foolish lie over God’s truth. They gave their lives and devotion to the creature rather than to the Creator Himself\, who is blessed forever and ever. Amen. (TVT) \nWhatever the reason for pruning\, when the branches fall to the ground\, they will die. Their color fades and they dry up and harden. Then they are swept up and made into compost or put on the trash heap. Your source\, life\, and existence are in God. You must abide in The Father at all times; if not\, you will wither and die. You could end up being put into the fiery furnace. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, You have made it possible for me to abide in You at all times. I repent for those times when I lived as if I was the keeper of my soul. In You I live; I move\, and I have my being. I thank You for teaching me apart from You I can do nothing\, and I am nothing. Because of the time I spend with You\, there is an anointing on my life. I honor You for it. I keep in mind; I am a branch. Father\, the nourishment I receive\, by Your Spirit\, affects my entire life and comes directly from You. Without being connected to You\, I will die. When I live in communion with You\, I mature\, I become stronger\, and I become better. I want to remain an extension of You\, and remain humble. I also pray that my life brings You glory more and more every day…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:    \n

SUMMARY:Luke 8:13
DESCRIPTION:Luke 8:13 They on the rock are they\, which\, when they hear\, receive the word with joy; and these have no root\, which for a while believe\, and in time of temptation fall away. (KJV) \nHow deep do your roots go? \nWhen you hear a word that truly ministers to you; it is the enemy’s job to steal it. Your job is to fight to hold on to it. You cannot allow situations in your life to make you think the word is not true\, or it is not true for you.  \nJames 1:12 If your faith remains strong\, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties\, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith\, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God! (TPT) \nYou have an arsenal of weapons available to you. Your study\, prayer\, and worship have rooted you in the word. You are not ignorant of satan’s devices\, specifically the ones he uses against you. He can’t catch you unaware unless you have not fully armed yourself.  \nJeremiah 17:7-8 “Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord. 8 For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters\, That spreads out its roots by the river; And will not fear the heat when it comes; But its leaves will be green and moist. And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought Nor stop bearing fruit”. (AMP) \nArm yourself! Not for the day\, stay armed forever\, and hold on to the truth!    \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for rooting me and grounding me in Your truth. I thank You because Your word does not change based on my situation. I repent for acting as if it did. When the enemy comes to steal the word\, to whisper doubt\, and cause me to struggle; I can stand on the truth. I can cast down the imaginations the enemy tries to place in my mind. I can reject the image the devil shows me of myself based on a mistake. I am who You say I am. Thank You for Your word\, because it arms me and gives me strength. Jesus died for and provided the connection in my spirit\, allowing the word to take root and to grow in me. That same connection causes me to grow in You. I will continue to cultivate my roots as they grow stronger and sink deeper and deeper into You word…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 8:27
DESCRIPTION:Romans 8:27 God\, the searcher of the heart\, knows fully our longings\, yet he also understands the desires of the Holy Spirit\, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us\, his holy ones\, in perfect harmony with God’s plan for our destiny. (TPT\, edited) \nDo you realize the Holy Spirit is interceding for you? \nAre there times when you want to pray about your situation and you just don’t know what to say? Do you think you have an idea about what God is doing\, yet you are not 100% positive? If so\, be at peace. Rest on the fact that the Holy Spirit knows what is in your heart and also knows what is in the heart of the Father. He is the perfect advocate and the best counselor. The Holy Spirit can minister to you while pleading your case. He does not fumble with words or a lack of understanding about what is going on. He has the big picture. \nJohn 14:16 And I will ask the Father\, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter\, Advocate\, Intercessor—Counselor\, Strengthener\, Standby)\, to be with you forever. (AMP) \nYou can choose to take advantage of the blessing available to you through His intercession\, at any time. It does not matter if you have made a mess of things. The Holy Spirit is always available to you and advocates for you. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for the Holy Spirit who makes intercession for me. I thank You mostly because He helps me realize I just don’t have the big picture. I repent for thinking I ever had the solution to the problem without getting it from You. If You handled my situations the way I thought You should; I could not number the additional disasters that would have to be resolved. I thank You for Your heart for me. The thoughts You have for me are good and not evil; You have an expected end for my life. You designed my path\, and You laid it out. You order my steps. You intervened when I did not know it. You have my future orchestrated. You are making things happen I won’t know about fully until I am living in the results\, my “suddenly” moments. I stand on Your knowledge\, Your love and Your plan. You love me and know want what’s best for me. When I forget\, You hold the world in Your hands; when I forget You are Alpha and Omega; thank You for the Holy Spirit. He is right there to speak to me\, to give me guidance and to make intercession for me…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:    \n

SUMMARY:Ephesians 4:29
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth\, but that which is good to the use of edifying\, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. (KJV) \nWhat kinds of words do you speak? \nCorrupt communication? What is corrupt communication? Here are a few examples: \n\nTaking the name of the Lord in vain.\nCursing.\nReferencing sex and body parts in vulgar ways.\nSaying things designed to demean and torment.\nTelling or laughing at jokes that are hurtful/derogatory.\nRacial slurs.\nFeeding into stereotypes.\n\nWhat motivates you to talk the way you do? Is it the Bible and being in the presence of God? \nProverbs 4:20-23 My son\, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them\, healing and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard\, for out of it flow the springs of life. (AMPC) \nOr is your speech motivated by the television shows you watch\, the company you keep\, the music you listen to? \nPsalm 1:1-2 Blessed (happy\, fortunate\, prosperous\, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice\, their plans and purposes]\, nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk\, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. 2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord\, and on His law (the precepts\, the instructions\, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. (AMPC) \nDo you find your way of speaking changes based on who you are around? Are certain words acceptable in some circles and not in others? Do funny jokes become less funny depending on who is telling them and who is around when they are told? If you evaluate what you watch\, who you spend time with\, what you listen to\, you may also find there is a great deal of corrupt communication. If you find your conversation lines up with anything other than the word; more often than not\, you may also find some deeper areas for concern in your life. If you are going to be successful in this warfare and train your spirit\, you have to make some changes.  \nProverbs 4:24-27 Put away from you false and dishonest speech\, and willful and contrary talk put far from you. 25 Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose]\, and let your gaze be straight before you. 26 Consider well the path of your feet\, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. 27 Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil. (AMPC) \nGod is calling you to speak words that bring life and build up\, not judge\, kill\, and teardown. If you want God’s kind of life\, you have to be in His presence daily. Because of the time spent there\, you will soon stop engaging in conversations that are not edifying. Stop living a life where the Bible challenges your lifestyle. Let the word of God and the power of His Spirit change you.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, God\, I continue to be amazed at what Bible study does. It is convicting. I repent for not continually monitoring what I watch\, what I listen to\, and what I say. I repent for thinking\, if I don’t curse\, I’m good. However\, in the study today\, Father\, I see I must be mindful that sometimes I say things that are not edifying. I have to make sure I don’t laugh at jokes that are not pleasing to You. I will listen to the Holy Spirit when He pricks me. I will allow Him to tell me and show me if I am responding in a way that does not demonstrate a heart of love. I ask You now to forgive me. Please continue to make me aware when I veer off the path that gives You glory\, whether in my conversation and/or ones that I am party to. I know I can move away from certain conversation. I should decide not to take part in specific activities. I also know my actions might cause me to be left out\, thought of differently\, and/or have some emotional backlash to deal with. To be honest\, I don’t want any of those repercussions. I need You to continue to encourage me\, Father\, and I won’t give in. Continue to remind me\, it is You and You only I want to please…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Thessalonians 2:3
DESCRIPTION:1 Thessalonians 2:3 For our appeal to you was from a place of union\, a place of seamless oneness where distance or any definition of distraction of subtle hidden agendas were eliminated! (TMB) \nAre you walking in offense? \nAre there times when someone said something to you or responded in a way you were not expecting and they offended you? If they are your fellow laborer in Christ\, you must know them\, by the Spirit\, and you have to stop and think about them\, in the Spirit. Remember\, it could be you who has offended someone. \n1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 Now we ask you\, brothers and sisters\, to acknowledge those who work hard among you\, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. (NIV) \nWhat prompted the response or the statement? How long have you known them (a stranger does not offend)? Did the statement seem odd or out of place for them? Maybe they were trying to speak words for exhortation\, wanting you to embrace the gospel in a deeper way. Maybe they were not trying to force you to their side or judge you. Maybe they just wanted you to evaluate what you were doing or saying; wanting you to make sure it was holy and pure. The first step you take should be to evaluate your own heart. \nTitus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. (KJV) \nHaving a pure heart does not negate your discernment. Maybe they missed it and said something hurtful. If this is a person\, God has shown you who loves Him and who lives according to His good will and pleasure; take into consideration their heart. If not\, remind yourself you are salt and light. How you react to any statement or in any situation has everything to do with who you are and nothing to do with who they are.  \nEphesians 4:31-32  Lay aside bitter words\, temper tantrums\, revenge\, profanity\, and insults. 32 But instead be kind and affectionate toward one another. Has God graciously forgiven you? Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ’s love. (TPT) \nIt does not matter whether you believe they were trying to hurt/deceive you or not. You have to come to a place where you can render the same grace and mercy to others God gives to you. These encounters help you define your occupational specialty. This is next level warfare. Ask the Father to thicken your skin and strengthen your heart. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, in the name of Jesus\, I thank You for compelling me to stop walking in offense. I repent for all the times I held onto my hurt feelings instead of walking in the victory Jesus died for. Your word says offenses will come. You will deal with the offender. I thank You for requiring me to understand “to the pure\, all things are pure”. I control how I respond. It doesn’t matter what someone may think about my statements and/or actions. It also doesn’t matter what I may think about someone else’s statements and/or actions. Because I name the name of Christ\, I have the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead living inside me. That gives me power and purity. I could have misinterpreted what they said and/or they could have misunderstood me. I can still examine myself and apply what needs to be applied and leave the rest alone. Father God\, help me stop being controlled by my emotions\, touchy and emotional. Then I won’t have hurt feelings all the time. Help me know every word spoken\, and every deed done can be used to make me better if I allow it. I thank You in advance and give You glory…  \n  \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
