SUMMARY:Timothy 4:3
DESCRIPTION:2 Timothy 4:3 3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing]\, they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another\, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold\, (AMP) \nAre you always being challenged\, not being changed? \nThere are people who go to the gym socially and have no intention of really training to achieve a goal. They go in order to say with pride\, “I work out as at the gym for an hour at least three times a week.” The problem is\, those who see them don’t see a change in their physique that a person would get from an hour-long workout three times a week. \nThere are people who attend church who have no intention of pursuing a deeper relationship with the Lord. They follow the same pattern as the one going to the gym. The problem is\, you can’t be transformed if you never apply what is being said. It is not enough to only sit and listen. \nYou can get every inspirational book and CD available. The purchases make it appear as if you are interested in growing. However\, do you read the books and listen to the CDs\, or do you just want to make yourself “feel” spiritual? You might find a place\, church\, ministry\, etc. where you can get a title and a position based on who you are pretending to be. However\, when the time comes\, and you are challenged and motivated to grow; do you change\, or do you leave? \nJames 1:22-25 But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts]\, and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning]\, deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth]. 23 For if anyone only listens to the word without obeying it\, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away\, he immediately forgets what he looked like. 25 But he who looks carefully into the perfect law\, the law of liberty\, and faithfully abides by it\, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys]\, he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]. (AMP) \nWhatever day you decide that being challenged is not enough\, you will allow the Lord’s transformation process to begin. If you are chasing after God\, there is a still voice whispering to you\, “This is the way\, walk therein.” (Isaiah 30:21). Your job is to obey.  \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 writing the word on my heart. I long to be surrounded by people who are running hard after You. Thank You for keeping me grounded. The small amount I know does not put me in a place where I can coast along until You return. I’ve been in several meetings and trainings that truly challenged me. However\, I didn’t always leave those meetings and apply what I had heard\, and I did not change. I repent. I am sorry and I will work not to let that happen again. Lord\, I want to know You more. You are calling me to a place of spirituality and releasing me from the bondage of religion. Help me stand when I am being stretched. I don’t want to give up because I think it is too hard. I want You to continue to speak to me because I am listening with my heart and obeying… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Peter 2:1
DESCRIPTION:2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people\, even as there shall be false teachers among you\, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies\, even denying the Lord that bought them\, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (KJV) \nAre you taking the time to know God for yourself? \nIf you truly want to be equipped for battle\, your life experiences will send you to the word\, where you will look for answers to everyday problems. It is an important part of your training. It is necessary to go to the word because that is how you come to know the God you believe in and serve. You have to study\, pray\, and be in continual communion with the Lord. If you do\, you will know. You will also be able to resist when someone who is deceitful and crafty comes to draw you away from the truth.  \n1 John 2:26-28  I also am writing to warn you about some who are attempting to deceive you. 27 You have an anointing. You received it from Him\, and His anointing remains on you. You do not need any other teacher. But as His anointing instructs you in all the essentials (all the truth uncontaminated by darkness and lies)\, it teaches you this: “Remain connected to Him.” 28 So now\, my little children\, live in Him\, so that whenever He is revealed\, we will have confidence and not have to hang our heads in shame before Him when He comes. (TVT) \nDo you understand what happened to Eve in the garden? The Bible says the devil deceived her. It does not say she disobeyed. (1 Timothy 2:14). The devil preyed on her ignorance and on her insecurity. She was not sure what the Lord said\, and she was not content with what the Lord had done. She wanted more\, which is amazing because she already had more; she just did not know it. Had she been sure of God’s plan\, provision and promises\, she would not have fallen into transgression. Many say she sinned. For more information on the difference between sin and transgression\, go to this link (https://drpamrussell.com/Documents/Sin-Iniquity-Transgression.pdf ) \nDon’t allow ignorance and insecurity to damage your destiny. Those two by themselves are bad enough. When you put both of them together\, they are dangerous at another level. You don’t want to be in a place where the enemy can say to you\, “Did God really say…” You want to say to the enemy\, just as Jesus did\, “It is written.” \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 wisdom. Your word instructs me not to be ignorant of satan’s devices and to be alert and aware of his activity. Your wisdom allows me to accomplish what You have commanded. If I will remain steadfast in my study\, the devil cannot trick me and deceive me with questions I don’t know the answer to. I will continue to spend time with You. Thank You\, Father God\, for calling me to a place where I seek the scriptures for answers and not man. I sorry for saying\, “that is what I was told; that is how it has always been done; I am not sure why I do this\, or I was just following what everyone else was doing\,” and thinking any of those answers was OK. I repent for not spending the time I needed to give an answer that glorifies You. I spend time with You now\, and I can give a reason for the hope I have\, for the walk I walk\, and for the faith I place in You. I know the enemy is crafty. I will live in You and not allow ignorance and insecurity to be his way into my life. I don’t want to fall prey to the enemy… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Jude 16
DESCRIPTION:Jude 16 These people are grumblers and complainers\, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves\, and they flatter others to get what they want. (NLT) \nAre you murmuring and faultfinding? \nWhen you think about a prideful person\, what comes to mind? Believe it or not\, people who are full of pride constantly stand in judgement. They continually make assessments of themselves and everything around them. They make comparisons at every level\, and they are often very unconstructive. You don’t want to be the type of person who has a negative outlook. That negativity often comes from comparing what you think with the thoughts and activities of others.  \nWhat is the benefit of looking around to see what someone else has that you don’t have? Or what you have that someone else does not have? It is a trick of the enemy. That is the first step into apostacy (renouncing Christianity’s beliefs and principles). The devil wants you to spend all of your time assessing\, judging and comparing that you become puffed up\, angry and/or disillusioned with God. First you start subtly pointing out differences. Then it gets more intense until that is all you do. You find things that are wrong at home\, at the office\, at the church\, with your boss\, with the pastor\, with the policies\, the procedures\, and anything and everything else.  \nThe sad thing is your negative conversation is for promoting yourself because you are full of pride. You would have done it differently and you could do it better. All the while\, the devil is sitting back\, rubbing his hands and laughing. His next trap for you to step into is to engage in competition for a position or a title. You will use what you consider as your strengths and abilities\, and you will say and do things to curry favor.  \nIf you are that person\, you will also find you spend more time complaining about God than celebrating God. You will be busy trying to scheme and work to attain what Jesus already paid the price for. (Read Isaiah 14:12-21) Stop right now and ask God for forgiveness and deliverance. You may have lost the joy and the peace\, gained by the victory of the cross\, for a time. It does not have to stay that way. \nEzekiel 36:26-27 A new heart also will I give you\, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh\, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you\, and cause you to walk in my statutes\, and ye shall keep my judgments\, and do them. (KJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, help me recognize when I’m being negative\, and when I am being prideful. I know You have called me to a position of influence. I also can persuade people because You allow them to see me as confident and self-assured. It does not matter if I actually am as confident as they think. I never want my attitude and comments to taint someone. I know I can come to You and confess and You will wash me. Before now I have not thought about the person I affected? I might have left them in that place. I repent for my words and actions\, and I ask You to touch them now and remove any damage that I may have done. Help me see You at work\, in everything and in everyone. Help me encourage others to follow and to obey Your word and Your voice only. I don’t want to be the one who is pulling others away because of my feelings or opinions. Bridle my tongue when I am overwhelmed. I want to build up and not tear down. Father God\, I want You to use me for Your glory. I don’t want to wonder what Jesus would do. I need You to help me talk like Jesus did. Help me walk like Jesus did. Help me act like Jesus did. Help me live like Jesus did… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Timothy 3:2
DESCRIPTION:2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves\, covetous\, boasters\, proud\, blasphemers\, disobedient to parents\, unthankful\, unholy\, (KJV) \nDo you have an “it’s all about me” attitude? \nIf Jesus has not returned\, it does not matter what year someone reads this devotional\, today’s text will continue to prophesy. There will always be people who have the “it’s all about me” attitude. They have become their own idol. You see it when you watch the news or read the news. You see it in your home and at your job. It really does not matter where you find yourself\, you see it. Sadly\, you can even see it in the church. I don’t know if it is fair to say that this personality is more dangerous in the church than in other places. However\, it is what I believe. There is a different expectation in the church. You don’t believe you will run into spiritual leaders who have no boundaries\, no conscious or compassion. If that is you\, ask God to show you and help you. \nPhilippians 2:3-5 Be free from pride-filled opinions\, for they will only harm your cherished unity. Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts\, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves. 4 Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests. 5 And consider the example that Jesus\, the Anointed One\, has set before us. Let his mindset become your motivation. (TPT) \nThere is nothing wrong with being charismatic and wanting to be accepted. There is nothing wrong with having goals and running after them. Just be careful and take the time to know what is motivating you and how you are setting your goals. This is invaluable training. Evaluate everything that inspires you and get to the place where you deny your own flesh\, then God can use you.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I know You know me. Because You know me\, You know every place where I would allow the enemy to erect an idol within me. Lord\, please forgive me for living like I cared more about You\, when I actually cared more about myself. Keep reminding me of Your love for me\, then I can show love to others. Keep reminding me of Your acceptance of me; then I won’t compromise to be accepted and I won’t reject others. Keep reminding me of the work You have called me to\, and I won’t take it for granted. I never want to be found with an ungrateful and selfish heart. You have taught me You resist the proud and give grace to the humble. I am excited that I can make my boast in You. I can celebrate what You have done in my life and not be prideful. Keep me on that path and help me walk according to Your goals and desires for my life… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Job 11:3
DESCRIPTION:Job 11:3 Should I remain silent while you babble on? When you mock God\, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed? (NLT) \nAre your friends real or counterfeit? \nThe FBI trains their agents to spot counterfeit money by looking at it and touching it. God can train you to do the same things with those you interact with. You rely on the Holy Spirit and use discernment.  \nThe world uses the word friend as a catchphrase for everyone they know; you need clarity when you talk about your friends. For the sake of this devotional\, the word “friend” refers to the people you allow into your inner circle; those you share your life with; those who help you make tough decisions; and those who can speak into your heart\, especially when you’re feeling low. \nWith that understanding\, you need a friend who will tell you when you’re wrong\, remind you “what” you believe\, “Who” you believe in\, and “Who” you belong to. \n  \n\n\n\nReal Friends\nCounterfeit Friends\n\n\nKeep you from making the mistake of accusing God\, blaming God\, or making your situation about what God has not done.\nCommiserate with you\, tell you God is mad at you\, and fail to lead you into the presence of God. \n\n\nHelp you realize your circumstances are really about what God is trying to do in\, with\, and through you.\nHelp you identify how and why\, you have been mistreated\, who mistreated you\, and what you should do about it.\n\n\nRequire that you remember God is in \ncontrol and He loves you.\nTell you to take control of your own situation and do what needs to be done.\n\n\n\n  \nJob 2:9-10 Then his wife said to him\, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 But he said to her\, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God\, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. (NKJV) \nJob 42:7–9 And so it was\, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job\, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite\, My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends\, for you have not spoken of Me what is right\, as My servant Job has. (NKJV) \nYour real friends will cause you to stop\, look\, and listen\, even if they make you mad. Remember\, not only do you need a real friend; you need to be a real friend too. The Bible identifies the greatest friendship you ever want in James 2:23. \nJames 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says\, “Abraham believed God\, and this [faith] was credited to him [by God] as righteousness and as conformity to His will\,” and he was called the friend of God. (AMP) \nIf you can be a friend of God\, you will have no problem being a friend to anyone else. \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 surrounding me with friends who love You more than they love me. Those who care enough about me to tell me when I am wrong. I thank You for putting people in my life who are concerned about my spiritual growth; and they identify my missteps in actions\, conversation\, and in attitude. I repent for not honoring You by appreciating them more. I am sorry. Without those people\, I know I would prolong the training I’m currently in. Thank You for the people You placed in my path\, who love me enough to show me You no matter what I am going through. Whether I am dealing with a problem\, rejoicing over something great that has happened\, or when I am crying over a mistake I have made; they help me wipe my tears. It does not matter what I am crying about\, and especially when I am wrong. Thank You for helping me develop my character. You made it possible for me to be a friend to You and to others. I want to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep\, always pointing them to You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Proverbs 14:9
DESCRIPTION:Proverbs 14:9 Fools make fun of guilt\, but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation. (NLT) \nAre you happy you got away with it? \nIsn’t it great to have milestones to test how you are progressing? Glad you think so. Here is another one. Are there times when you did something you knew was wrong\, and you thought you got away with it. Only foolish people would revel in that experience. Those who love God would want to make it right. What does “making it right” mean?  \nPsalms 19:12-13 Without this revelation-light\, how would I ever detect the waywardness of my heart? Lord\, forgive my hidden flaws whenever you find them. 13 Keep cleansing me\, God\, \nand keep me from my secret\, selfish sins; may they never rule over me! For only then will I be free from fault and remain innocent of rebellion. (TPT) \nMaking it right could take on many forms. The first thing you need to do is repent. Why? Because you did not really get away with it. The devil is fooling you. In the natural\, it may appear no one knows. However\, in the Spirit\, you have sinned and made your heart dirty. The Lord cannot look upon sin. Repenting is the only way out of the place. Psalms 51 is an amazing passage when you are in this place. Read through it and allow the Lord to forgive you and fill you with joy. Here are a couple of verses that go right to the issue: \nPsalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me\, O God\, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity\, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 6 Behold\, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. \nAfter spending the time with the Lord\, He will direct you as to your next steps\, if any. You may need to give the item back\, confess your wrong(s)\, return the overpayment\, ask for forgiveness\, etc. Keep in mind\, there is one more person who knows what happened besides you\, God knows. Now\, there is no condemnation in God. However\, the Holy Spirit will convict you if you allow Him to have His way; then you go to God because you have sinned against Him\, and allow Him to make your heart right. \nPsalm 51: 10\, 12\, 17 Create in me a clean heart\, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart\, O God\, thou wilt not despise. \nDeal with the spiritual issue and He will help you deal with the natural one. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I come to You this morning and I thank You for the Holy Spirit. I thank You for making me aware of Your feelings about everything I do. Sometimes I don’t realize an error in judgment or action\, and sometimes I do. You have taught me to ask You daily to forgive me of any sin I have committed deliberately or innocently in thought\, word\, or deed. I ask You that right now. Please continue to show me when I need to repent if I miss it. I know sometimes there is nothing else that I can do beyond repentance\, or You may not require anything else. If there is a way for me to make recompense\, show me how\, no matter the cost or consequences to me. If I can’t make it right in the natural\, I am confessing what You have shown me and You will cleanse me and wash me from all iniquity. Thank You for Your word… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 5:6
DESCRIPTION:Romans 5:6 God’s timing was absolutely perfect; humanity was at their weakest when Christ died their death. (We were bankrupt in our efforts to save ourselves.) (TMB) \nAre you still trying to fix yourself? \nIsn’t it funny how sometimes you think you can work out your own problems? Do you say: “As soon as I get myself together\, I’m going to:” \n\nHonor God.\nGo to church.\nBecome a member of a ministry.\nGet saved.\nSeek the Lord more.\nTithe.\nDo personal Bible study.\n…\nASK THE LORD WHAT HE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU ABOUT TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL AND JOURNAL IT HERE: (Continue the list with your favorite excuses). \n\nHave you realized yet\, you cannot “get yourself together”? When you give yourself over to the Lord\, He will get you together. As you go to Him in prayer\, allow Him to wash over you. Submit your activities and your actions to Him. Yield to Him in humble obedience. He gets you together. He shows you what He wants you to change. He shows you what He wants you to stop doing or start doing. He then gives you the faith and the grace to submit to what He has shown you. If you allow Him to\, He will fix what needs to be fixed. \nPsalms 143:6\,8 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee\, as a thirsty land. Selah. 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. (KJV) \nPsalms 51:7 Purge me with hyssop\, and I shall be clean: wash me\, and I shall be whiter than snow. (KJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I repent for being proud\, self-involved\, and sinful. Because of those characteristics\, the devil could batter and torment me. I thank You for allowing me to bring my beaten self to You. Thank You for purging me and continuing to wash me. I will be white as snow. I thank You\, Father God\, for loving me and calling me to a place where I could come unashamed\, just as I was\, and You welcomed me with open arms. Thank You for continuing to guide me\, correct me\, and give me clarity. I saw some things I wanted to change about me; You wanted to keep. I also saw some things I wanted to keep\, which You either wanted to do some alterations to or get rid of all together. I joy that overflows because I have stopped trying to fix myself. Now I allow You to identify what I need to add\, allow You to change or take away. Then You do the work as I allow You to. Father\, I submit entirely to You for Your pruning\, molding\, and shaping. I know when You have completed the work You began\, I will be the exact image You saw when You created me… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Galatians 6:7
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth\, that shall he also reap. (KJV) \nAre you excited about what you will reap? \nLeadership often uses the concept of sowing and reaping as a prophecy of punishment. Often because you didn’t do what someone wanted you to do\, or you didn’t act the way someone thought you should act. Especially if that someone was in a place of spiritual authority in your life. The thing that they would say to you is\, “You know\, you reap what you sow”. The wonderful thing about God is\, yes\, you reap what you sow. Have you ever stopped to think about what happens if you are sowing things that bring God glory? What if you are sowing happiness\, joy\, and peace? The fact of the matter is\, you will reap that as well. \nLuke 6:38 Give\, and it shall be given unto you; good measure\, pressed down\, and shaken together\, and running over\, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (KJV) \nA great lesson as you learn to fight this battle against the enemy is: all of what you do is a part of your instruction and your training; and there are benefits. Even if there are repercussions you may feel are unpleasant to you; the benefit is the wisdom you gained. Know this\, if you sow peace; you reap joy!  \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 watching over all I do. You see me\, guide me\, and direct me. You give me recompense for what I do. Father God\, I repent for the days You have to chasten me. Every time You do\, I also thank You because of the work You are doing in my life. I am excited and proud because the times when I have to harvest distasteful and devastating fields are getting fewer and fewer! I am grateful You have taught me how to sow crops whose harvest is Your glory. You bless me and I want to bless You. I am growing and maturing. I can see myself in the place where I no longer live my life waiting for the shoe to fall\, or walking on eggshells. I can see a life where I am not waiting to reap or to deal with negative repercussions. I thank You for giving me the freedom to live my life Your way. I know I may make mistakes from time to time. I will continually seek You\, learn from my mistakes\, and reap a harvest of wisdom and understanding. I no longer live my life in fear of retribution. Now I live my life knowing that You know what is in my heart and You will deal with me accordingly… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Titus 2:12
DESCRIPTION:Titus 2:12 Teaching us that\, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts\, we should live soberly\, righteously\, and godly\, in this present world; (KJV) \nIs your life about you or about the God in you? \nIn this world\, “Just do it” “Make your own way” “Do your own thing” “It’s about me” are the catch phrases for life. This way of thinking is a breeding ground for feeding your flesh. What you have to understand is\, if you spend all of your time feeding your flesh\, then you won’t live righteously. You won’t make godly decisions and God cannot get the glory He desires to get out of your life. Another part of the training\, as you fight this war\, is learning to deny your flesh. Paul describes the conflict in Romans 7: \nRomans 7:21-24 Through my experience of this principle\, I discover that even when I want to do good\, evil is ready to sabotage me. 22 Truly\, deep within my true identity\, I love to do what pleases God. 23 But I discern another power operating in my humanity\, waging a war against the moral principles of my conscience and bringing me into captivity as a prisoner to the “law” of sin—this unwelcome intruder in my humanity. 24 What an agonizing situation I am in! So who has the power to rescue this miserable man from the unwelcome intruder of sin and death? (TPT) \nThis war is always raging. Choosing God over yourself is not always easy. Here are some ways your flesh wins (in case you were wondering): irritated and rash responses; no respect for other people’s feelings; being rude and impatient\, always wanting your way\, inability to listen to someone else’s opinion\, avoiding responsibility\, taking all the credit\, flying off the handle\, etc. There are plenty more that will immediately come to mind if you think about it. However\, there are other ways your flesh wins that may not immediately come to mind. They don’t seem negative. Your desire to give in to worldly pleasures is not their source. They can be deeply emotional things\, like not wanting to make the self-sacrifice to be used by God in a difficult relationship\, making compromises because you want to fit in\, having a limit on how many times you will forgive\, giving inaccurate information on your taxes\, etc. Paul also gives us “the way” of escape: \nRomans 7:25 I give all my thanks to God\, for his mighty power has finally provided a way out through our Lord Jesus\, the Anointed One! So if left to myself\, the flesh is aligned with the law of sin\, but now my renewed mind is fixed on and submitted to God’s righteous principles. (TPT) \nWhat do you have to do in order for your mind to be fixed on and submitted to God’s righteous principles? You have to fast more. It is the best way to crucify your flesh\, and it is necessary. Fleshly responses don’t give God any glory! Whether your desires or worldly or from the heart\, neither give God glory if they are not His will. The ultimate purpose in your life is to glorify God by what you do. Live to fulfill your first purpose. \nEphesians 2:10 10 We have become his poetry\, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us\, for we are joined to Jesus\, the Anointed One. Even before we were born\, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! (TPT) \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 showing me my true purpose and teaching me how to deny my flesh. I repent for accepting the world’s way of doing things. You continually show me the danger of compromise. You also show me the danger of emotional wants that are not fulfilled and the bitterness that can set in. You have shown me though I may treat others poorly because I am bitter; it is You I am angry at because You did not do what I wanted. I am sorry I brought shame to Your name. Thank You for guiding me to live a fasting life. If I do\, I will crucify my flesh and the lust attached and give You glory. Please continue to draw me\, examine me\, and show me the condition of my heart. Help me seek You more and spend more time with You. Father\, I desire for You to continue to wash over me with Your presence and with Your spirit. When I am in Your presence\, I am strengthened in my inner man. When I try to go it alone\, I am pulled away by my lusts\, desires\, and the traps of my flesh. I know the war between my spirit and my flesh is continuous\, and I need You every day if I am going to be victorious\, and crucify my flesh. I will fast\, pray\, consecrate myself and do these things as often as You lead me. Father God\, I want to be a vessel that is meat for You use. I thank You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Proverbs 18:1
DESCRIPTION:Proverbs 18:1 He who willfully separates and estranges himself [from God and man] seeks his own desire and violently opposes wise and sound judgment. (AMP\, edited)\n\nHave you rejected someone who gave you Godly wisdom? \nHave you ever listened to wisdom from those you know love God and love you? Did you decide not to talk to them anymore because of what they said to you? Did you end the conversation because they didn’t see it your way? Did you separate yourself\, possibly your friendship\, and continue on the path you were on prior to the wisdom provided for you?  \nProverbs 1:7 The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is\, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; But arrogant fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline. (AMP) \nThere is a wonderful thing about the friends God placed in your life. They don’t require you to agree with their recommendations. However\, you can always agree on the fact that they want to see God’s best manifested in your life. You do not base your relationship with God\, and with those He places in your life\, completely on a set of rules\, ideas\, and theologies. You can believe you have identified truth and gotten revelation from the Bible\, yet you can still miss the power of God. To continue in love and grow through grace\, don’t reduce all of Christianity to your philosophy and your understanding. Allow the power of God to be revealed in the fullness of time. You must receive wisdom\, humbly. \n1 Corinthians 13:9-10 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect)\, and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). 10 But when the complete and perfect (total) comes\, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated\, void\, and superseded). (AMPC) \nIf you continue to separate yourself\, you will soon find yourself alone and a prime target for the enemy to pick you off. Therefore\, don’t be unfriendly. Don’t ignore God’s voice when He speaks through your friends because you don’t like sound wisdom; you think they are wrong; you think they don’t understand; or you think they are picking on you. You can agree to disagree. \nJohn 16:13 But when He\, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes\, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole\, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him]\, and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. (AMPC) \nThere is no need to fight and argue. No need to lose the people who are in your life as training coaches and partners as you learn to fight this war. If you are the one who is in the position as the mentor\, remember these things: \n\nDon’t take offense if your mentee rejects your advice.\nDon’t allow your assignment to be altered by your mentee. He/she did not give it to you. God did.\nNo matter how long you have been walking with God\, you don’t know everything\, and you can learn from your mentee if you will be open.\n\nAlways remember\, what comes from the heart reaches the heart. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, there were times when I was younger\, I rejected the advice of those You placed in my life. I did not know then what I know now. Actually\, there have been times after I got older that I rejected sound advice as well. I was still learning. Both times\, I wasn’t walking close enough with You. Thank You for helping me see I wasn’t rejecting them; I was rejecting You. Thank You for growing me up. Thank You for not rejecting me. You stayed with me until I understood You were working on me. Thank You for continuing to send more of Your servants into my life. Thank You for those who love You and want to see me fulfill Your plan for my life. Thank You for those who will speak what they believe is from You\, even if I don’t like it. Now I know to accept what they say in love because they are giving me wisdom\, leading me to You and helping me make godly choices. Now\, if I don’t agree\, I can take what they say to You in prayer and You will give me “the answer”\, might be mine\, might be theirs or it might be a combination of both. You have shown me this is not about who is right and who is wrong. You want to get the glory out of our lives. I repent for not seeing the error of my decisions then. Please keep me from walking down that path again. Father\, I pray for my mentors and partners on this journey. Please replenish their lives with everything they empty out to speak into my life. I honor them because I know You sent them… \n\nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 10:25
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 10:25 In the light of our free access to the FATHER\, let us extend that embrace to one another. Our gatherings are no longer a repetition of tradition but an essential fellowship where we remind one another of our true identity. Let us do so with greater urgency now the day has dawned in our understanding. (TMB) \nAre you consistently assembling yourself with fellow believers? \n(KJV) of Hebrews 10:25 states: \n25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together\, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more\, as ye see the day approaching. \nAt any given time\, after you have missed a couple of church services\, this is the one scripture quoted to you. Pastors preach this scripture across the pulpit for the same reason. They remind you the Bible says you are to “come to church”. Please keep in mind\, within the walls of a church building is not the only place you can assemble yourself with believers. The COVID-19 pandemic proved that to us all. You can assemble yourself for worship\, Bible study and prayer\, in person\, through videoconferencing\, and/or telephone conferencing.  \nWhat is the idea behind Hebrews 10:25? You should make it a practice to gather\, be it in person or not\, with other believers in order to encourage them\, and for them to encourage you to live a life that gives God glory. When you assemble yourself with other believers; you help them as they go through their training for this spiritual war\, and they help you. It is not about tradition and repetition. It is about sharing the love of Christ with those who also love Christ. It is about being in a place where you can lift someone up\, as they are in this battle and on this walk. You realize other people get discouraged just like you. You can share your victories and get prayer for your times of trial. The reason you need to come together is for support as you continue your individual and collective journeys. You are easy prey when you try to do this alone. It is not about church\, church programs\, or church activities. It is about God and your ability to share His love anytime and anywhere.  \n1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together\, and edify one another\, even as also ye do. (KJV) \nKeep this in mind\, if you don’t have a Bible study\, a work prayer group\, a prayer line or any other venue where believers gather\, find one. You need to be with fellow believers. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, I thank You for revelation on Your word. I thank You for the bondage being broken. Now\, my desire to assemble with fellow believers is from a heartfelt place You created. I will not attend church\, or be a member of a church\, because of guilt\, torment or demand. I will willingly and joyously come together to share and receive Your love with those who are like-minded. I celebrate the fact that I can be in a coffee shop\, at the café\, on the internet\, on the job\, at a place of worship or wherever You give me the opportunity. Father\, I thank You for the freedom to come together to encourage other believers\, and they can encourage me. I thank You for the liberty as well because everyone does not have it. There is no particular place I have to go to. I live in a place and at a time where I can lift Your name wherever I want to. I recognize there are those who live in places where they can’t worship You or talk about You openly and freely. I repent for taking this liberty for granted. I will not forsake coming together to share love and encourage other believers… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 2:14
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 2:14 The Soulish man has no capacity to comprehend the language of the Spirit of God; spiritual things seem meaningless to him; he is incapable to discern that which can only be spiritually appreciated. (TMB) \nHave you stopped sharing God because of rejection? \nDo you sometimes talk to someone about God\, Who He is\, what He has done and continues to do for the world\, and specifically what He has done in your life? Do you share the godly choices you’re making because of Him? Do you find they look at you as if you’re crazy? What do you do? Do you stop and ask yourself\, “why are they looking at me with that strange expression on their face”? Or do you keep sharing? Please keep in mind\, if they don’t know Christ\, they have no way of comprehending what you’re talking about. Often they cannot or do not celebrate with you because they can only receive your word if they have a soft heart and/or have had a spiritual encounter with the Lord. Otherwise\, they are not there. This is not a character assessment; it is spiritual. Don’t stop sharing. \n1 Corinthians 3:7-9 So neither is the one who plants nor the one who waters anything\, but [only] God who causes the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem\, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden\, His vineyard]\, God’s building. (AMP) \nIf someone is open to listen\, continue to share. You never know if what you are saying will plant\, water\, or fertilize. You don’t know where they are in the process. God does. Take advantage of every opportunity to testify about who God is and what He has done in your life. Be mindful not to be antagonistic when you interact. However\, if they’re willing to listen\, share. This is a big test in your process. Rejection is not an easy thing to snap back from. Don’t allow the enemy to whisper in your ears\, keep sharing. God can and will keep you. Always remember\, your testimony is drawing them. Then God will save them. \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 every opportunity to lift You up\, to share the gospel\, to talk about who You are and what You’ve done. I understand the one I am witnessing to often will not readily express belief and celebrate the information I provide. You encourage me by telling me one plants\, one waters\, and You give the increase. You are the One who draws and Who saves. I will continue to share. I know I don’t have the big picture. I know I don’t know what path a person is on. You know. Please forgive me for not taking advantage of the opportunities You present before me. I don’t want to miss any more of them because of being moved by what I see or don’t see or what I hear or don’t hear. Your word says if You be lifted\, You’ll draw. I will not be discouraged\, and I won’t give up if I don’t get the response I am looking for. I will continue to yield myself to You. Please use me wherever\, however\, and with whomever You choose. Here am I; send me… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 3:5
DESCRIPTION:John 3:5 Jesus answered\, Verily\, verily\, I say unto thee\, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit\, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (KJV) \nAre you sharing the gospel with those who are kind\, yet not saved? \nEveryone who wants to see God must be born of the Spirit. Because we are all born into sin and shaped in iniquity (Psalms 51:5)\, God’s desire for everyone is that we are born again. As a servant of God\, you should also want everyone to be a part of His Kingdom. However\, there’s no way in without being born again. You probably know really pleasant people\, kind people\, philanthropic people who would do anything for anybody. You may meet rich people who believe they can take care of anything in their lives\, themselves. Their feelings do not change the word. There’s no way around it. You must be born again. Read Matthew 19:16-22\, 24 (NKJV):  \nNow behold\, one came and said to Him\, “Good Teacher\, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” 17 So He said to him\, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One\, that is\, God. But if you want to enter into life\, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to Him\, “Which ones?” Jesus said\, “You shall not murder\, You shall not commit adultery\, You shall not steal\, You shall not bear false witness\, 19 Honor your father and your mother\, and\, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to Him\, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him\, “If you want to be perfect\, go\, sell what you have and give to the poor\, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come\, follow Me.” 22 But when the young man heard that saying\, he went away sorrowful\, for he had great possessions. 24 And again I say to you\, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. \nSome training processes are easier than others\, this one can be uncomfortable. Just know\, you will be the better for it. It is not about who anyone is or what anyone does in the natural; it’s about the Spirit. Remember\, people do not earn salvation. As you go through life\, meeting\, interacting with and coming to know and love people who are not saved\, never forget this truth. Also\, rich does not just mean financial. Strong’s Concordance translates the word “rich” as wealth (or fulness). The definition is literally money or possessions\, figuratively\, as abundance or richness\, and specifically having a valuable bestowment.  \nBecause of what God did for you\, you want them to know He will do the same for them\, whether or not they think they need Him. Though you want to take advantage of every opportunity to witness and to share the gospel\, make sure you do not leave out those who are wealthy.  \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 every person I come in contact with daily. I also thank You for those the world considers as nice/wealthy people. I thank You for the open door into their lives. Now I can show them You. Help me not to disqualify myself because I don’t think I am in their league. Please give me words of wisdom and godly confidence. Often\, it’s difficult for me to speak to people who seem to be naturally or instinctively kind. I know it can also be hard for them to understand their need for You. Father God\, You have the words. You have a way I can use to shine a light ino their lives and show them what they are missing without You. I ask You for those words. Father\, I repent for not stepping out on Your word and lifting You up. When You give me the opportunity\, I won’t take back\, be afraid or rationalize. I will present You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Timothy 3:5
DESCRIPTION:2 Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness\, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (KJV) \nAre you living a life God can use to bring conviction? \nWhen you live a life that glorifies God\, those who are unsaved recognize it and respect you for it. They will say “I’m sorry” when they curse around you and that kind of thing. However\, it is different with “church people.” It can be like walking through a military mine field when you have to deal with people who want you to believe they are spiritual when they are not. What they really are is religious. This is great training!  \nReligious people say hallelujah at the right time. They can hold their hands up in the right way. They have the right expression on their faces when the word is being preached\, or a song is being sung. However\, there is no power in their lives. You should not desire to be a part of their circle\, no matter how influential or powerful their circle is. Also\, before you step over into judgement\, your only task is to live before them. You are not to engage in “instructional conversations.”  \nTitus 3:8-9 This is a faithful saying\, and these things I want you to affirm constantly\, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. 9 But avoid foolish disputes\, genealogies\, contentions\, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. (NKJV) \nSimply allow God to be God in your life as you interact with them. Whether they are a member of the church you attend\, your prayer group or on your job; verbal conversation is not the way to reach them unless it is a God-ordained encounter. Let your light shine in your walk\, your talk\, and your responses to situations. Allow God to bring conviction. He is the only One who can bring them to a true and real relationship with Him. \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 You have allowed to be a part of my life that test my relationship with You. Thank You for showing me it is not my job to correct them. It is not my responsibility to engage in conversations that lead to debate. I repent for walking down that path more than once or twice. Thank You for correcting me and showing me Your way of living. I want to be spiritual and not religious. I know I will have to make more sacrifices\, give up connections\, and sometimes walk alone. I know I will have to examine myself every day to be sure my love for You is pure. I thank You for every opportunity You give me to see who I am. Sometimes those opportunities are painful\, however I know they are necessary. My prayer is for everyone to see You when they look at me. I want to live a life where whomever is looking will see Your power and recognize Your undeniable anointing on my life. I pray\, Father\, that those\, who I encounter\, would be drawn to a place where they seek You even more. Thank You for each God ordained moment in my life where I learn who I am\, grow into the person You have called me to be\, and to live a life that mirrors You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 8:9
DESCRIPTION:Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh\, but in the Spirit\, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ\, he is none of his. (KJV) \nAre you flesh-consciousness or spirit-consciousness? \nToday’s question is good. What does it mean? It is simply asking if you know when you are being ruled by your flesh or by God’s Spirit? How would you know? Here are some examples of how you would act if you were being ruled by your flesh. You would: \n\nAlways have yourself as the center of your actions.\nDo good deeds because you are hoping to be seen and celebrated.\nRespond to situations based on emotion only.\nSay the right thing because the right person is listening\, not because it’s in your heart. \nDo anything (i.e.\, lie\, cheat\, steal\, kill\, etc.) to get what you wanted\, even if it meant hurting someone else.\n\nGalatians 5:16 But I say\, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance]\, and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]. (AMP) \nWhen you walk according to the word\, you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. If you accepted salvation\, God’s Spirit is in you. Are you able to process this truth? Are you able to embrace this truth: “the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you”? If you can\, you will see yourself as God’s image on the earth. Please understand\, you are the only God some people will ever experience. With this in mind\, do not govern yourself and deal with people according to your flesh. Passing these training tests will carry you far as you war with the enemy\, and also as you seek to represent The Father. Those who are babes in Christ\, or even those who don’t know Christ\, will know if you are approaching them with God’s Spirit in activation (from a real place) or if you are not. They can tell if you are acting exactly like them.  \nLuke 6:45 People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts\, good and upright people will produce good fruit. But out of the evil hidden in their hearts\, evil ones will produce what is evil. For the overflow of what has been stored in your heart will be seen by your fruit and will be heard in your words. (TPT) \nYour heart reveals how much you have allowed the Spirit of God to rule you. You want your actions and your words to cause wonder. How are you able to respond this way? How are you able to do what you’ve done or give the way you do? Whether or not someone asks you; you know you act the way you do because you have the Spirit of God living within you. His Spirit is love. \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 am sorry and repentant because I lived constantly aware of what the devil was doing. Thank You for reminding me not only should I be aware of what You are doing in the world; I should also be aware of what You are doing in me. Thank You for Your Spirit. I thank You for thinking enough of me to send Jesus to die for me. I am excited\, amazed\, and humbled every time I think about the power that I now have because of salvation. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells within me. I thank You\, Father God\, for the liberty and the grace to allow Your Spirit to shine forth in all of my interactions. As I submit to You\, Your Spirit can bring my flesh under subjection. I have the power to refuse what looks right or what feels right according to my flesh or the world’s standards. I submit myself to You. My desire is to glorify You. Continue to mold and shape my life. I want the world to see You through me. I want my life to be a conduit through which You can draw some lost man\, woman\, boy or girl. I thank You God\, for choosing me. I thank You God\, for using me. I thank You God\, for filling me with Your Spirit… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 6:19
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not realize that your body by design is the sacred shrine of the spirit of God; he echoed God within you. Your body does not even belong to you in the first place! (TMB) \nWhat kind of temple are you asking God to dwell in? \nDo you think about this scripture from time to time? Often\, it is used to discourage what ministry leaders and religious leaders consider as the “major” sins: adultery\, smoking\, fornicating\, drinking; you know the list. Please know this: there are no top sins that contaminate the body. All sin contaminates the body. This body is not your own\, it belongs to God. When you accepted His invitation\, you allowed Him to come and dwell within you.  \nRomans 8:10-11 If Christ lives in you\, though your [natural] body is dead because of sin\, your spirit is alive because of righteousness [which He provides]. 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you\, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit\, who lives in you. (AMP) \nYou are no longer just His creation\, now you are His place of residence. This is not your body\, alone. You should not take it anywhere and everywhere. You should not do anything and everything with it\, nor to it. You should honor it as the home of God. This is a test you get to pass every day. The goal here is to treat your body as God’s temple. You may have\, up to now\, rationalized and reasoned a way to continue to live your life the way you have been. Please ask God to show you those things that you need to allow Him to fix.  \n1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Don’t you understand that together you form a temple to the living God and His Spirit lives among you? To determine if you are treating it in the way it should be treated; listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. (TVT) \nNot only do you want your body to be the place where God dwells\, you also want Him to take pleasure in dwelling there. As you read the Old Testament (Exodus 25–31)\, you see how God designed and crafted the Temple. You could spend a wonderful time of study  and get revelation to better understand the function of the temple and the intricacy of its design. Then you could make the correlation between the physical temple and your body. This will help make God feel welcome.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, thank You for reminding me my body is not mine to do with as I will. I know I don’t always treat it in a way that pleases You. I repent for doing the wrong things with it\, for it\, and to it. I also repent for using it to take You places I know You didn’t want to be. I do desire for You to enjoy dwelling within me. I ask You\, Father\, to continue to show me those things You need to fix and those things You need to change. I want You to take joy in dwelling in this earthen vessel. I only want to take Your temple to places it needs to be where You can be at peace. I want the things I do with it and to it to bring You glory and honor. As You search my heart and my life\, show me what celebrates You and what does not. Continue to help me create a place where You can make Your Abode… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 25:4
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (KJV) \nDo you have extra oil? \nWhat does it mean to be prepared? The Bible tells you to be alert and aware as you fight in this spiritual war. You need to recognize the devil’s schemes\, plots\, and plans. You need to know what you’re dealing with and equip yourself for each battle you fight in this war.  \n1 Peter 5:8-9b Be well balanced (temperate\, sober of mind)\, be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours\, the devil\, roams around like a lion [roaring in fierce hunger]\, seeking someone to seize upon and devour. 9 Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted\, established\, strong\, immovable\, and determined]\, (AMPC) \nThe greatest strategists in the world examine their enemies. They understand their opponent’s inner workings and methodologies. Great football coaches watch the film clips of the next team they will compete against. Boxers watch videos of the boxer they’re going to be fighting next. These tactics and practices are invaluable to you as well.  \nMatthew 24:43  But you should know this: If the owner of a house had known his house was about to be broken into\, he would have stayed up all night\, vigilantly. He would have kept watch\, and he would have thwarted the thief. (TVT) \nFrom the day the Lord saved you\, you became a soldier in His army. You have fought in this war\, whether spiritual leaders taught you or trained you\, or if you just went it alone. You had to because your enemy\, satan; the devil stalked you. Now you know it is your spiritual responsibility to understand how the enemy works in your life and what tools you have to combat him. This is what it means to be prepared. This is how you bring extra oil. Your lamp doesn’t have to run out. You do not have to become a casualty of war. As a side thought\, ask yourself these two questions:  \n\nWhat causes your lamp to flicker?\nWhat causes you to burn your oil faster?\n\nYou get ready by diligently seeking God. You prepare and get additional oil for your lamp when you spend dedicated time in prayer. The Father will help you examine your activities to see how the enemy comes against you. Not only will He show you how\, He will show you when and where\, enabling you to be ready. When the enemy comes in like a flood\, you can lift up a standard if you still have oil for your lamp.  \nThe greatest incentive is if you keep oil in your lamp\, you can be ready when the King comes. \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 preparing me. I will have oil when You come. I thank You for Your power. Your Spirit flows through me to replenish and refresh me. I repent for the doors I have opened and how the enemy has used those entry ways to exploit me. Thank You for forgiveness and being faithful to speak to me and draw me. Please continue to deliver me and help me allow You to close those doors. Your presence shines a light in the darkness. I can see the devil at work trying to destroy my life. I want to understand how he can still trap me and how he has tricked me in the past. I want to be diligent in my time with You\, which will make it difficult for him to trick and trap me in the same ways repeatedly. I want to draw closer to You\, then I can see the enemy through Your eyes. I want to see what new tricks he is planning against me and confound him by Your Spirit. I want to stand victorious in this fight. Father\, I know You could stop the enemy from attacking me. Help me not to become shaky when You don’t. I know You are developing me. Thank You for every preparedness drill because I learn from them\, and I am trained by them. I thank You for the revelation that this is spiritual warfare. I can win. I won’t be found lacking… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 16:17
DESCRIPTION:Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you\, brethren\, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. (KJV) \nAre you choosing to go along to get along? \nThere is always one person in the bunch who is forever in the center of the drama. The spirit of strife has found them and attached itself\, and is always there to influence them. The spirit of strife is always in the middle of every disagreement and is there everywhere the person goes.  \nJames 3:16 For where envying and strife is\, there is confusion and every evil work. (KJV) \nWherever the person shows up\, something happens. No one may remember how the confusion got started. Here is how: the spirit of strife was there\, in the background\, stirring the pot. Someone says the right thing to start confusion; someone else repeats something that was said “in confidence”; they drag information around like a dog with a bone\, etc. Remember\, it’s not the person\, it’s the spirit of strife on assignment\, creating tension and discord. \nAs a part of your training\, you have to know that the spirit of strife influences people everywhere\, including you. No matter where you are\, whether it’s on your job\, in your group of friends\, in your home\, or\, sadly\, at your church. What does it mean for you if this person sits in a place of influence in your life\, can help you get a promotion\, help you get a raise\, or is a part of the tribe you want to be a part of?  \nFirst\, it is not your job to deal with the spirit of strife in a person. You don’t have the power to fix them according to what you think a “fixed person” would look like. If ever you think you are being led by God to “give a word\,” make sure it is not just your flesh working overtime. One way to be sure you are being directed by God is\, He will ordain the moment of your encounter. You will not orchestrate it\, plan it\, or schedule it. Also\, you will know if you really heard God by the outcome of the encounter. There will not be a stressful or strife-filled conversation because God is not the author of confusion. Ding! Next level warfare! \nMatthew 18:15 This is what you do if one of your brothers or sisters sins against you: go to him\, in private\, and tell him just what you perceive the wrong to be. If he listens to you\, you’ve won a brother. (TVT) \nYour responsibility is to ask the Holy Spirit to help you discern the spirit at work and if God does not direct you to speak or intervene\, separate yourself from it. Whether it is you or someone else\, pray for deliverance. You don’t want to be around a person who carries the spirit of strife\, and if you are being influenced by it\, stay away from others until you allow the Lord to deal with you.  \nSecond\, make a choice. What if everyone accepts this person’s behavior? What if you would be outcast if you didn’t also? What will you do\, go along\, or choose a different path? This is a pivotal moment and important part of your training. This is another test to pass. Here is a truth you can use as a decision helper: \nDeuteronomy 30:19a I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you\, that I have set before you life and death\, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life. (NKJV) \nThere is nothing that a man or woman can do for you that surpasses what God can do if you just walk in his ways. You know God is on your side. Live in that truth and allow God to do what you need done in our life.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I know it is human nature to want to be accepted. You are teaching me to desire acceptance and approval by You first. I repent when I get it backwards. I am sorry for putting anyone else in front of You. Father\, until such time as I am completely there\, I thank You for showing me when I am prone to go along to get along. Continue to show me the pitfalls. Help me discern strife-filled people and steer away from strife-filled situations. Show me when I am being influenced by the spirit of strife. It is my tendency to want to help. However\, I understand I could just add to the confusion if I am not led by You. You have shown me strife is like a plague. It can influence anyone\, and it can spread everywhere: in my home\, at my church\, or on my job. The ripple effect continues because each person\, influenced by strife\, takes it with them wherever they go. That same spirit causes confusion and someone else is infected\, et cetera et cetera. Father\, I don’t want to be someone who causes issues wherever I go. I don’t want to be a part of that vicious cycle of confusion\, problems\, issues\, and struggles. Thank You for requiring me to keep contention and strife out of my environment. I thank You for the strength to stand for what You require of me\, even if I have to stand alone\, and to separate myself for deliverance if needed… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Galatians 3:14
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 3:14 This act of Christ released the blessing of Abraham upon the Gentiles! Now we are free to receive the blessing of the Spirit. (TMB)      \nAre you passing your test of endurance? \nAs you walk along\, living your life day by day\, sometimes your days can seem to be full of struggles. When that happens\, you must always keep in your mind\, the blessings of Abraham rest on your life.  \nGalatians 3:6-9 Abraham\, our father of faith\, led the way as our pioneering example. He believed God and the substance of his faith released God’s righteousness to him. 7 So those who are the true children of Abraham will have the same faith as their father! 8 God’s plan all along was to bring this message of salvation to the nations through the revelation of faith. Long ago God prophesied over Abraham\, as the Holy Scriptures say: “Through your example of faith all the nations will be blessed!” 9 And so the blessing of Abraham’s faith is now our blessing too! (TPT) \nAbraham’s promise is for you as well. God grafted you in. That may not seem like much when you are dealing with impossible problems. However\, Jesus’ life\, crucifixion\, and resurrection is a part of the promise God gave to Abraham. The results of Jesus’ obedience unto death are your justification and the gift of the Spirit through faith. You walk this walk\, deal with the things you deal with\, and stand on the promises of God through faith. You claim victory; you don’t cower before the enemy; and you don’t walk as if God won’t fulfill His promises to you and for your life. Because of your faith\, you will be a blessing to someone who is watching you. Your rejoicing does not stop\, there is more to the promise to Abraham and his descendants. When this time is over\, you will be with God in glory. These minor blips of hardship you deal with: having to crucify your flesh\, denying yourself\, and turning down what the world offers\, only last for a moment\, compared to the endless time you would spend in glory. \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 making a way for me to be with You in glory. I thank You for enabling me to hold on to Your promise. I thank You\, Father God\, for the hope I have to be with You in paradise. You are my desire and I seek after You. I want to dwell in Your house all the days of my life. I want to behold Your beauty and to enquire of Your temple. I repent for wanting You to take away the trials You have ordained for me to go through. It does not matter how difficult the training I must endure\, the hardships I may or may not experience\, the betrayals or anything else\, I want You. I realize whatever I must go through is nothing compared to what Jesus did for me on the cross. I thank You for this opportunity… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
