SUMMARY:John 4:16
DESCRIPTION:1 John 4:16 And thus we have come to know and believe the love that God has unveiled within us. God is love; love is who God is; to live in this place of conscious\, constant love\, is to live immersed in God and to feel perfectly at home in his indwelling. (TMB) \nDo you demonstrate God’s love as you live? \nHave you ever said something encouraging and uplifting to someone\, whether you knew them or not\, and you felt the love of God in the words you spoke? Did it warm your heart or bring tears to your eyes? Maybe you did not stop\, in that moment\, and say\, “I really understand God’s love.” However\, you really did! You got another level of understanding about God’s love because you felt what God was sending to the person you were speaking to. \nJohn 13:34-35 So I give you a new command: Love each other deeply and fully. Remember the ways that I have loved you\, and demonstrate your love for others in those same ways. 35 Everyone will know you as My followers if you demonstrate your love to others. (TVT) \nWhat a blessing it is to know God’s love runs through your heart and to live with the assurance He is always there because He saved you. You know yourself. You know how you responded before salvation. Isn’t it great to be perfectly at peace speaking words of love and comfort? You don’t even need to take time to think about what words you will say\, because the love of God and His Spirit is saturating your life? As you continue allowing God to develop your gifts and submitting to His call\, you will begin to think\, respond\, and/or react differently from what was the norm for you. You may even ask yourself\, “Why did I do that\, say that\, or think that?” If you truly accept God’s love\, then you live in God’s love\, and God’s love lives in you. You become an extension of God’s love because of your training. Being able to show God’s love is a necessary tool as you battle the enemy and as you seek to understand who you really are. \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 Your love. I am grateful for it\, and I repent for those times when I did not show my gratitude. Your love saturates me and engulfs me. I can speak\, and I hear Your love. Your love holds back the reins of my emotions and my thoughts. Your love guides me. Your love sustains me. Your love is my weapon in battle. Your love allows me to show those\, You assigned to me\, who You are and what life in You is like. You are the one true God who loves unconditionally\, and I thank You. I know Your love is absolute because it is how You love me. I am forever grateful for Your love…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Acts 11:23
DESCRIPTION:Acts 11:23 When he arrived and saw what grace (favor) God was bestowing upon them\, he was full of joy; and he continuously exhorted (warned\, urged\, and encouraged) them all to cleave unto and remain faithful to and devoted to the Lord with [resolute and steady] purpose of heart. (AMP) \nAre you inspired by your life?  \nWhat happens when you stop and reflect on your life\, thinking about where you were in Christ a week ago\, a month ago\, or a year ago\, and where you are now? Do you recognize how He has manifested Himself in your life with material blessings and in your relationship with Him? Do you have more clarity? Are you able to discern His voice? Are you more victorious over the enemy? Do you share love in a greater way? Do you have more peace? Can you think of other ways you have changed and matured because of the time you spent in prayer\, study\, and worship? If you can answer yes to these questions\, or add to this list\, you should be excited and decide to continue seeking the Lord\, yearning for even more of Him.  \nPsalms 18:19-24 God stuck by me. He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved—surprised to be loved! 20-24 God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together\, he gave me a fresh start. Now I’m alert to God’s ways; I don’t take God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together\, and I’m watching my step. \nGod rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. (MSG) \nWhen you take the time to look at what God has done\, the enemy may whisper in your ear. He may tell you of your failures and your setbacks; trying to make you feel as if you have accomplished nothing. You may not be where you want to be\, however\, you are further along than you think. It gives you hope and a reason to keep spending time with the Lord. If you want something different from what you have; do something different from what you are doing. What you see in your life should encourage you and cause you to continue to trust and believe in God. \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 loving me enough to show me where and how I have matured in You. I repent for allowing the enemy to torment or discourage me by reminding me who I was\, where I was\, and how I used to act. You show me the amazing changes You have made in my life. You help me see the work You have done and where You are still working in my life. All I need to do is stop and look through Your eyes. When I do\, I can see my growth\, which causes me to desire more of You and to listen to Your voice with more clarity. I am proud of what You are doing in my life and I thank You. I thank You for hope and a future. I am excited because of what lies ahead in my life with You. I thank You for showing me I am who I am because of You. The only credit I can take for my life is my obedience to Your word. I would not be the person I see in the mirror without You. Thank You because my life serves as encouragement and inspiration for me. I pray it inspires others as well…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 15:9
DESCRIPTION:John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me\, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. (KJV) \nAre you continuing in Jesus’ love? \nThere is no greater demonstration of love than Jesus’ life\, crucifixion\, and resurrection. Can you really comprehend what it means to have the capacity to love as Jesus does? When you think about the love Jesus wants the Father to share with you\, are you ready for it? The Father sent Jesus to die because of His love. You have to understand you need to die also\, if you’re going to continue in Jesus’ love and mirror your life after His. Hopefully\, you won’t be crucified on a natural cross. However\, you must take up your spiritual cross and die to yourself.  \nGalatians 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires. (AMPC) \nRomans 8:13 For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh\, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct\, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body\, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever. (AMPC) \nThere are things you have to be willing to give up. There are sacrifices you are going to have to “want to” make. There is no way around it because in your flesh there is no good thing. Jesus received a reward\, and you will as well. Unfortunately\, you cannot look for your ultimate reward now. Know this\, the reward is not houses\, cars\, acclaim\, fame and the world’s definition of prosperity. What Jesus wants for you is for you to have the same relationship with the Father that He has. When Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane\, he prayed: \nJohn 17:9-11 I pray for them: I pray not for the world\, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine\, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world\, but these are in the world\, and I come to thee. Holy Father\, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me\, that they may be one\, as we are. (KJV) \nJesus wants you to continue on the path ordained for you by the Father. He wants you to continue to grow and recognize those things holding you back (which often is you and not people). Let go of any weights. Allow God to manifest His glory in your life just like He did in Jesus’ life.  \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 opportunity to allow Your manifested glory to be evident in my life. Because of how much You love me\, You are teaching me how to show my love in return. I know I repent for thinking I don’t have to make sacrifices. Thank You for teaching me I need to “want to” give up those things in my life that don’t glorify You. You are showing me there are things I want that really are of no lasting benefit to me\, and I thank You. As I am saying these words\, I know it is You and You only who can help me live this out. I want to walk worthy of the prayer Jesus prayed. Father\, I appreciate and love You with all my heart. I give You all the glory\, all the honor and all the praise…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 14:21
DESCRIPTION:John 14:21 He that hath my commandments\, and keepeth them\, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father\, and I will love him\, and will manifest myself to him. (KJV) \n Are you following the plan? \nIf you want to know how to sew\, you learn from a skilled seamstress. If you want to cook well\, you learn from a superb chef. If you want to be successful in spiritual warfare\, build a relationship with and learn from the One who already won the victory. The Lord has provided a simple formula to do that.  \n\nYou build a relationship with Jesus if you love Him.\nYou show you love Jesus if you accept His commandments and obey them. \nYou obey His commandments because you believe in Him.\nAs you demonstrate your belief in and love for Jesus\, the Father will love you. Also\, Jesus will love you.\nJesus will then reveal Himself to you\, and you will connect to Him in a greater way. \nBy connecting to Jesus in a greater way\, you follow Him and His instructions in faith. You learn to live as He lived\, fight as He fought\, and win as He won.\n\nThat is the formula.  \nJohn 14:12 I assure you\, most solemnly I tell you\, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me\, and follows me in faith\, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these\, because I go to the Father. (AMPC\, edited) \nThe formula and the scripture are simple enough to state\, the “obeying my commandments portion” is often where the struggle comes in. The Pharisees added 248 commandments and 365 prohibitions to make sure they kept the 10 Commandments. It didn’t work. The thing you have to do is love God “more.” More than fulfilling your own wishes and desires and more than the satisfaction you get from taking a risk or following your heart.  \n1 John 2:15-16 Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible. 16 For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh\, the allurement of the things of the world\, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world. (TPT) \nAllow the Holy Spirit to let you know when you are violating the will of God. Stop making excuses and decide you are going to keep God’s commandments because it is what He desires of you. If you truly want to win in this warfare\, you will do what God desires\, with no sense of obligation. You won’t need the additional 248 commandments and 365 prohibitions. You will have your heart pure before God\, be honest and confess when you sin\, and allow Him to cleanse you\, instruct you\, and guide you to victory.  \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 the simple plan to connect to You and be victorious. I am grateful there is no great mystery surrounding how I can develop into the person You ordained for me to be\, nor how I can be victorious over the enemy. I confess there are struggles sometimes because I want what I want. I repent for allowing my wants to cause me to stray from the path You set for me. I know as I continue to seek You\, love You\, spend time in Your presence\, submit to Your correction\, and obey Your commands\, the things that keep me from being like You will continue to fall off. You are purifying me like the refiner’s fire in the time I spend with You. I have to continue taking ownership of my wrongs and my issues. Not only do I have to confess when I have done wrong\, You are teaching me to tell You what I did and why it was wrong. In return for my obedience\, You cleanse me\, draw me\, and show Yourself to me. The benefit gained by abiding by Your word is Your manifested presence in my life. Therefore\, when I stray\, I know I am giving up on being one step closer to the me You died for. I am sorry I did not realize this a long time ago. To have more of You and to be close to You is my one desire…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 12:15
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 12:15 You must understand that this is a grace-race and not a law-race. While we’re in compete-and compare-mode we create the opportunity for resentment to flourish and to poison many in the process. (TMB) \nAre you making comparisons? \nDo you sometimes feel you are in some spiritual race with your brothers and sisters in Christ? It is true\, often you and/or others will make comparisons. When certain people are mentioned to you\, do you feel you have to run harder in order to do the things they are doing? The thing is\, your walk with God is an individual one. Yes\, you are to celebrate what God does in everyone else’s life. However\, celebrating or recognizing what God has done something in someone else’s life does not diminish who God is and what He has done in your life. \nGalatians 6:4-5 Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given\, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. (MSG) \nAn important thing for you to be aware of is making comparisons creates jealousy. Since you can’t get back at God\, you express your unresolved feelings toward the one God blessed. It is how sibling rivalry works. Siblings have frustrations\, unresolved feelings\, and negative emotions because of something done for and/or wonderful things said about their sister/brother. They rarely demonstrate how they feel when they interact with mom and/or dad. Instead\, they deal with their brother/sister in the wrong way\, i.e.\, are unsupportive\, negative in their communication\, think and speak the worst about them to anyone and everyone\, etc.  \nGenesis 4:3-8 After some time Cain brought some of his harvest and gave it as an offering to the Lord. 4 Then Abel brought the first lamb born to one of his sheep\, killed it\, and gave the best parts of it as an offering. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering\, 5 but he rejected Cain and his offering. Cain became furious\, and he scowled in anger. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain\, “Why are you angry? Why that scowl on your face? 7 If you had done the right thing\, you would be smiling; but because you have done evil\, sin is crouching at your door. It wants to rule you\, but you must overcome it.” 8 Then Cain said to his brother Abel\, “Let’s go out in the fields.” When they were out in the fields\, Cain turned on his brother and killed him. (GNT) \nSince you are in the family of God\, you must make sure sibling rivalry is not how you deal with your brothers and sisters in Christ. This is not the attitude you want to have. You also don’t want your spirit poisoned by jealousy.  \nJames 3:16 For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition)\, there will also be confusion (unrest\, disharmony\, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. (AMPC) \nIf there is an accomplishment you want to mimic\, because it will enhance your relationship with God\, great! However\, the most important thing is you want to rejoice with those who are rejoicing\, and you want God to be glorified by your obedience to His will for your life. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I am not in a race with any other believer. I repent for ever thinking that I was. I repent for comparing where was and how I was being treated with other believers. The only thing it accomplished was to show You I didn’t appreciate what You have done for me and how immature I was. Again\, I am sorry. I am grateful for the personality\, gifts\, and talents You have given me. Keep me in Your presence to be corrected by You\, strengthened by You\, encouraged by You\, and matured by You. I want to be everything You ordained for me to be. I know You planned my purpose and destiny before the foundation of the world. I know I run this race with my fellow believers. We will all reach the destination You have planned for us\, if we remain faithful. I am excited because there is abundance in You and what You have for me is for me. I don’t have to fight for it\, and I don’t have to be anxious. I can rest in You and have peace. There is no way for me to get left out. You have already ordained what is mine…  \n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

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:

SUMMARY:Romans 8:26
DESCRIPTION:Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: \nThe Spirit also sighs within us with words too deep for articulation\, assisting us in our prayers when we struggle to know how to pray properly. When we feel restricted in our flesh\, he supersedes our clumsy efforts and hits the bulls-eye every time. (TMB) \nAre you willing to be vulnerable before God? \nWhen you are in a tough situation\, you can rejoice and be comforted because you don’t have to understand what is going on. You don’t have to know why it happened. You don’t have to know what the solution is. You don’t have to know the “right words” to pray. You can just go into the presence of El Shaddai\, of Adonai and weep; moan; speak in tongues\, if you do; or say Father\, I stretch my hands to Thee. The Holy Spirit\, who is your comforter\, can take it from there. He knows what you need and can communicate with the Father in a way you cannot. \nRomans 8:27 God\, the searcher of the heart\, knows fully our longings\, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit\, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us\, His holy ones\, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny. (TPT) \nWhat would keep you from accessing the help you need? Is it pride? Do you think you should be able to handle this on your own? Are there only certain issues you take to God? Is there another reason that is keeping you from recognizing God is and has the answer? Remember\, you don’t have all the information. There are parts to the story only God knows. You just have to admit that and get the help that is already available to 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 sometimes I come to You thinking I know what the problem is. Often\, I also think I know what the solution should be. I don’t take into consideration the things I don’t know about; the things I don’t understand; and the things I didn’t recognize as intricate to my situation. I repent for being obnoxiously arrogant. To say thank You for the Holy Spirit is not enough. He is my guide. He knows all the sides to the story. He knows me\, and He is part of You. He can intervene if I allow Him to. At the same time\, He can comfort me. The Holy Spirit speaks softly to let me know I don’t have the solution to the problem because I don’t have the big picture. I am encouraged\, and I can wait to hear the words I should be praying. I will stand still as You work out the situation. My heart overflows as He prays for me. I know when You work something out; You do it completely. As I wait and listen\, I rest as the Holy Spirit intercedes for me. I know He is speaking to You about me and then He speaks to me about You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 6:12
DESCRIPTION:Romans 6:12 You are under no obligation to sin; it has no further rights to dominate your dead declared body. Therefore let it not entice you to obey its lusts. Your union with his death broke the association with sin. (TMB) \nAre you standing or giving excuses? \nHow often do you say\, “God knows my heart?” Does it make you feel better to play the “I’m only human card” after you have allowed the enemy to get a victory? Take consolation in knowing you don’t have to allow the devil to win. You don’t have to use your humanity as a justification for not standing in the power Jesus’ death provided. It is easy to give yourself a pass. You don’t have to. In this war\, how many times will you excuse your behavior before you are in bondage to sin\, feeling like you can’t be victorious? \nRomans 13:13-14 Let us walk properly\, as in the day\, not in revelry and drunkenness\, not in lewdness and lust\, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ\, and make no provision for the flesh\, to fulfill its lusts. (NKJV) \nThe way you keep the enemy from putting you in bondage is to stop making provision for your flesh. Yes\, God knows you are human; He made you. He also knows what is in you. He knows you can withstand and be victorious because you are more than a conqueror. You are an overcomer. He has given you a way of escape. You can bear whatever problem you have to confront. \n1 Corinthians 10:13 We all experience times of testing\, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity\, nature\, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more\, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously. (TPT) \nTake the way of escape instead of giving in to sin. \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 because sin no longer has dominion over me. I rejoice and give You praise because I used to be a sinner\, and now I am saved. Though saved\, I repent for still wanting to take the easy way out\, for making provision for my flesh\, and giving in when the going got tough. Now\, because of the time I am spending in Your presence\, by the blood of Jesus\, I am walking as an overcomer. I stumble less and less. You have given me a way of escape and I am taking it when the enemy brings temptation. Now\, not only do I name the name of Christ\, I also live a life of Christ. Now\, I walk in love\, joy\, peace\, longsuffering\, gentleness\, goodness\, faith\, meekness and temperance. Because of You I am not motivated and dominated by what I want\, and I thank You. I gladly am ruled by what You want…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Luke 11:11
DESCRIPTION:Luke 11:11 And it came to pass\, that\, as he was praying in a certain place\, when he ceased\, one of his disciples said unto him\, Lord\, teach us to pray\, as John also taught his disciples. (KJV) \nAre you asking the Father to teach you to pray? \nHave you ever asked the Lord to teach you to pray? When you first got saved\, did someone teach you about prayer as a part of discipleship or new members’ class. If so\, did you establish a posture of prayer based on what you learned? If not\, did you just mimic what you saw and heard? Do you still pray the same type of prayer the same way? Even if it has been a year\, five years\, ten years or more? Do you think encounters with God should have changed how you pray? \nThink about how children sound when they first learn to talk. They don’t speak the same way as they grow up and mature. Do you try to make sense of the things you experience by attributing human characteristics to God? Do you say things like\, “This must have happened because God is mad at me or God is getting back at me for what I did?” Are you expecting your desired answer to your prayer because you are acting like you are sharing something with God\, He does not already know? [I know God is going to do this because I am a tither and a giver\, and I am standing on the word.] Are you trying to command the hand of God through fasting and/or by putting the words “I decree” and “I declare” in front of your statements? If you are doing any of these things\, you might be diminishing God’s Deity in your eyes. \nMatthew 6:5-8  “Whenever you pray\, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe me\, they’ve already received in full their reward. 6 But whenever you pray\, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God\, praying to him in secret. And your Father\, who sees all you do\, will reward you openly. 7 When you pray\, there is no need to repeat empty phrases\, praying like those who don’t know God\, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words. 8 There is no need to imitate them\, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him”. (TPT) \nPlease keep in mind\, God is God\, the omniscient\, omnipresent and sovereign One. Yes\, you can go to Him boldly\, however you must also go in reverence and humility. You must realize\, not only does He have the answer\, He is the answer; whether or not it is the one you want. It is much easier and rewarding to ask Him for the words to say and the heart to accept His answer. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, with each time I bow before You\, I learn more and more about me\, about You\, and about prayer\, and I am grateful. You are teaching me just as Jesus did for His disciples. I repent for every time I came to You with a problem; I had already determined how You should solve. I repent for every time I asked You to take care of an issue\, my way. Thank You for teaching me more about who You are\, what Your will is\, and how You work in my life. I am now in a place where every time I share my heart with You; I wait for You to answer. My posture has changed. Not only are You teaching me how to pray\, You are also teaching me what to pray. You continue to expand my knowledge of You because You are teaching me how to talk with You. I know You will respond. I no longer pray selfish prayers; I no longer pray vain\, repetitious\, and lofty prayers. Father\, You are teaching me to come to You with a pure and earnest heart. I will wait on You in my prayer time. You identify the things You are pleased with and those You are not. In my time with You\, I confess my faults and flaws\, not because You don’t know them. I confess because\, if I do\, I know You will heal me\, cleanse me from all unrighteousness\, and stand up tall in my life because You love me. I don’t have words to express how grateful I am that You are not like me. I repent for dealing with You as if You were. I repent for thinking I could share something with You; You didn’t already know. As if I could influence You to do what I wanted. Continue to teach me how to talk with You and I will continue to be Your eager child…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 10:22
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. (KJV) \nDo you have good cheer and peace? \nDo you sometimes feel you would get a fair shake from the world if you were not a Christian? Do you think because you are a Christian\, non-Christians treat you with disregard\, hold to a higher standard\, or push to your limit? It is important to make sure\, if you feel mistreated\, it is because of the stance you have taken with the Father and not because of anything else. If it is because of God\, there are blessings in store for you. \nMatthew 5:10-12 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness—the kingdom of heaven is theirs. 11 And blessed are you\, blessed are all of you\, when people persecute you or denigrate you or despise you or tell lies about you on My account. 12 But when this happens\, rejoice. Be glad. Remember that God’s prophets have been persecuted in the past. And know that in heaven\, you have a great reward. (TVT) \nHowever\, it is important to know whether you are being persecuted or prosecuted. Please look at how you are living and how you treat others. Make sure you are not reaping what you have sown with your attitude and actions. Whether your assessment of your situation is from a single person’s perspective; you are being persecuted for righteousness’ sake; or prosecuted for your own actions; always remember what the Bible says. \nJames 4:14 This life is but a vapor and full of trouble. (KJV) \nJohn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you\, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (KJV) \nEither way\, as a child of God\, you must endure hardship as a good soldier. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, Your word says the race is not given to the swift\, nor to the strong; You give it to the one who endures until the end. I am very grateful to You for helping me understand everybody will not like me and everyone will not treat me with respect. Thank You for helping me distinguish between those who justify their actions because of something I did or said\, and those who actions are motivated\, simply because I name the name of Christ and live like it. I repent for buckling under the feelings of rejection. Thank You for teaching me to expect to be rejected because I choose to do what glorifies You instead of going along with the crowd. Father\, thank You for reminding me when I choose You\, I will often find myself on the outside more times than on the inside. Father\, I come to You\, right now\, thanking You in advance for giving me what I need to trust and believe You will be my endurance. Because of You\, I won’t give up and I won’t back down. The life I live will continue to speak of You. You are the Almighty God and I serve You. I will continue to seek You for the strength I need to stand. Your word says You started a work in me\, and You will perform it. I have confidence You and Your word. I give You praise and glory for who You are in my life…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 14:26
DESCRIPTION:John 14:26 But the Comforter\, which is the Holy Ghost\, whom the Father will send in my name\, he shall teach you all things\, and bring all things to your remembrance\, whatsoever I have said unto you. (KJV) \nDo you have nuggets stored? \nHave you ever done a Bible study and then “forgot” about it? Then\, in a time of prayer or when you are trying to encourage someone or even yourself\, it comes back to you. Now\, you can always receive a supernatural word of wisdom or word of knowledge to help in a time of need. However\, there is a deeper sense of connection when you can apply something you know you have read\, studied\, and gotten revelation on to a situation. You may not be able to remember the exact scripture reference\, however\, the Spirit of the text is with you. The Holy Spirit stored it for you. It became a nugget. \n1 John 2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart\, specially gifted and prepared by the Holy Spirit]\, and all of you know [the truth because He teaches us\, illuminates our minds\, and guards us from error]. (AMP) \nDepending on the amount of time you spend with the Lord\, you will have plenty of revelations stored. The thing is\, if you don’t spend the time in worship\, in prayer and in study; there won’t be anything there for God to bring back to your remembrance. It is up to you to enrich your relationship with the Lord. Then He will place nuggets in storage for you to use when needed. \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 because as I continue to read Your word\, and as I continue to come into Your presence\, You speak to me. You give me knowledge\, understanding\, and revelation. I may not need what You give me immediately. However\, when I don’t know what to say or I don’t know what to do; the Holy Spirit brings back to me what You have taught me. I am reminded of what You say to me when I deal with stressful circumstances. I am also reminded of how You resolve the problems I encounter. You jog my memory on prayers I prayed and how You answered them. I remember the word and the clarity and understanding I gained. I can drink from that fountain again and again. I repent for giving in to a pity party when the enemy tries to plant seeds of loneliness and abandonment. The Holy Spirit is there to remind me. You will never leave me nor forsake me. Your grace is sufficient. You will give me a way of escape. If I rest in You\, I will always have nuggets to draw on…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 4:23
DESCRIPTION:John 4:23 But the hour cometh\, and now is\, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (KJV) \nAre you a true worshipper? \nGod is continually looking for true worshippers. What is a true worshipper? If you attend services where the people are very animated\, they may honor the Father by weeping\, bowing\, prostrating themselves\, crying\, etc.\, Being a part of that type of service may make you think you have been a part of true worship. Alternately\, you may attend services where there is no animation\, where there is a stillness and quietness in the atmosphere. You may think this is true worship. \nColossians 1:16b all things were created by him\, and for him: (KJV) \nRomans 12:1 Beloved friends\, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred\, living sacrifices. And live in holiness\, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. (TPT) \nYou should not confine worship to\, or define worship by\, a church service or a song. Worship should be your response to everything that happens in your life\, good or bad reports\, easy or difficult situations\, when things go the way you wanted them to and when they don’t\, when you are happy or when you are sad\, etc. No matter what you are experiencing in your life\, you are to worship. God created you for Himself and for His pleasure. Your pure worship pleases God. What is pure worship? \nSometime you may think that if you abide by the rules\, regulations\, and observances your church or ministry teaches; you are worshipping. Make sure it is not an attempt to please God with actions. Don’t forget who God is. He is a real Spirit who desires to commune with those He created in His image. He wants a real and honest relationship with you. That relationship can come only from your heart. Pure worship can only exist if you are truthful in all aspects with the Father. Why wouldn’t you be? You realize He is omniscient\, right? He already knows. \nPsalm 51:10\, 12 Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires\, ready to please you. 12 Let my passion for life be restored\, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say. (TPT) \nYou can worship God in spirit and truth because Jesus revealed the Truth to you. Your worship always radiates from Him. Worship focuses on who God is. It is not about what you want from Him or what he has done for you because that would make it about you\, that is “praise”. There is nothing wrong with praise\, just understand the difference. Everything you do\, everything you say\, and your every action should elevate God on the earth. You should not only think of worship as something you do; you should think of worship as something you are. \nWorship happens when the holiness of God elevates your consciousness; the truth of God enlightens your spirit; the beauty of God washes your mind; and the love of God opens your heart. At that point\, you are totally and eternally devoted to the will and the purpose of God. Worship is not something that you do; worship is who you are. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I want to be a true worshiper. I want to be transparent before You and the world. I want to come to You naked and unashamed. I want my worship to be perfume to Your nostrils. You created me to worship You. I repent for thinking my life’s purpose was something beyond Your call to worship You. Thank You for giving me greater understanding and deeper revelation about who I am and what my purpose is: worship. My worship is not only a song any time or anywhere. My worship is not only a prayer I might pray. My entire life should be worship offered to You. Every word I speak is worship\, because my words should give You glory. Every decision I make is worship. Therefore\, I should make my decisions recognizing who You are and what You desire for me. Please keep my heart pure and my worship will be true…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 6:18
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit\, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (KJV) \nAre you ending your conversation without giving God a chance to talk? \nThere are different types of prayer and ways to pray. They all accomplish the same thing\, talking to God. Your conversations with the Father build your relationship with Him. How many conversations do you have with friends where you do all the talking and then you hang up the phone\, or leave? Who would remain your friend if you never let them speak? How would you get to know them? Prayer allows you to have a two-way conversation with the all wise God and Father. You are praying because you need His guidance. You realize you are not sharing information with Him\, He does not already have. Prayer allows you to let Him know what you think about your current situation AND give Him the opportunity to let you know what He wants you to do. You have the right and the liberty to ask Him anything. You can thank Him for your blessings. If you are going through a tough time\, you can request that He change your circumstances\, explain why you are going through them\, or just give you the strength to endure. When you finished making your request\, don’t forget to stay there and wait on His response. \nProverbs 19:20-21 Listen to counsel and receive instruction\, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart\, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand. (NKJV) \nA conversation is not effective if only one party is talking. We should not convince ourselves that God agrees with our decisions simply because we prayed about them. When you pray\, “in the Spirit”\, you wait for the Father’s response. How will He respond? He may speak to you directly\, through a scripture\, a song\, by bringing something back to your remembrance\, etc. However the Father chooses to speak to you\, you need to listen and wait for Him to respond. You also have to be prepared to answer Him by obeying all instruction and guidance He gives. Remaining still to give God the chance to respond strengthens your understanding of Him and you. \nHabakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch\, and set me upon the tower\, and will watch to see what he will say unto me\, and what I shall answer when I am reproved (KJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank for leading me pray\, and also to watch\, listen and wait. I repent for giving You my laundry list of things I wanted You to do without listening for Your response. You have taught me\, I cannot be effective for You if I don’t wait to hear what You want. I pray not only for myself. You taught me how to pray for others. You taught me when I pray for someone; I am really asking how You want me to impact their lives. I have to be open to hearing You and willing to obey You on their behalf. You have given me the mandate to watch for the enemy and recognize his tricks and schemes. I pray You will allow me to see what the enemy is planning in my life\, in the lives of those I care for\, and in the lives of those You have assigned to me. As You show me what the enemy is doing\, I will wait in prayer for Your instructions. As I intercede for others\, I know I am standing in the gap between them and the enemy. Thank You for the desire to stand\, the strength to stand\, and the instruction on how to stand…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Galatians 4:6
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons\, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts\, crying\, Abba\, Father. (KJV) \nDid you come down from your cross? \nYou may not have had a childhood where you could run to your father and he would take you in his arms and make you feel safe. If you did not\, this concept may be very difficult for you to grasp. As Jesus hung on the cross\, knowing this was the reason He came to earth\, He cried out for His Father. \nMatthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice\, saying\, Eli\, Eli\, lama sabachthani? That is to say\, My God\, my God\, why hast thou forsaken me? (KJV) \nAs you fight this spiritual war\, there will be days when you feel alone and days when you feel you have lost. Just remember\, because of salvation\, the same Spirit\, that flowed in Jesus and raised Him from the dead\, now lives in you. You can say\, “Daddy\, save me!” However\, like Jesus\, your request should be out of human emotion and not the desire to forsake your purpose. The enemy wants you to come down from your cross. You can only stay there if you have the same understanding of your purpose and unwavering commitment to fulfill it\, that Jesus did. \nLuke 22:42 Saying\, Father\, if thou be willing\, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will\, but thine\, be done. (KJV) \nHow do you get to that place with the Father? Spend dedicated and purposed time in His presence\, in study\, in prayer\, and in worship. Don’t fit Him in on the run\, sacrifice to spend time with Him. Always remember\, it is not about what you feel; it is about what God has purposed you to do. \nMatthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples\, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple]\, he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests]\, and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me\, conforming to My example in living and\, if need be\, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]”. (AMP) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nThank You for being my Dad\, my Father\, my Papa. I thank You\, Father\, because I can come to You when I am in distress. You love me and I know You love me. Even when I should be stronger and I’m not; I can come You. I repent for those times when I acted like I was strong and standing in my strength; when it was really You Who was standing up inside me. I repent when I have wrong thoughts\, selfish feelings\, or ungodly actions. I am grateful for Your love and I thank You for not disowning me. I know why You don’t; it is because You are my Father. You show me\, through Your love\, You base the foundation of our relationship on who You are and what You did. I am extremely grateful You do not base our relationship on who I am\, what I have done\, or what I will do. You established my sonship. All I must do is take up my cross and submit to becoming Your child as You ordained me to be…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 Corinthians 14:15
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit\, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit\, and I will sing with the understanding also. (KJV) \nWhat are you willing to do to be changed by God? \nYou say you want everything God has for you. You are even willing to do everything you know to do. Are you also willing to do things you don’t know? What happens when you have done all you know to do\, and your walk with the Lord is still not any stronger? Well\, if you are serious\, you will try new things. Change happens in the presence of the Almighty. How do you get into His presence? If you are not sure\, here are some things you can do: \n\nBe honest with the Lord. He already knows anyway.\n\nPsalm 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him\, to all that call upon him in truth. (KJV) \n\nRead Scripture Aloud.\n\n2 Peter 1:21 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) \n\nSing Him a Love Song.\n\nPsalm 22:3 But thou art holy\, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. (KJV) \n\nSpeak in tongues.\n\n1 Corinthians 14:4a The one who speaks in tongues advances his own spiritual progress (TPT) \n\nTwo-way Journaling.\n\nJeremiah 30:2 “Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel\, saying: ‘Write in a book for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you. (NKJV) \n\nMeditate on the Lord.\n\nPsalm 119:15 I will meditate on Your precepts And [thoughtfully] regard Your ways [the path of life established by Your precepts]. (AMP) \n\nFocus on the Lord.\n\nActs 2:25 This is the very thing David prophesied about him: “I continually see the Lord in front of me. He’s at my right hand\, and I am never shaken”. (TPT) \nIf praying with your understanding allows you to get to the next level\, do it. If tongues will help you purify your heart\, then speak in tongues. If you already pray in tongues sometimes\, pray more. If singing the Lord a song\, meditating on the Lord\, reading scriptures etc. transforms your life\, then what are you waiting on. Don’t get stuck in your old ways. Don’t get bogged down in your biases or those of anyone else. The point here is\, don’t allow anything to stop you from getting into the presence of the Lord\, or hinder your advancement in the things of God. The definition of insanity is to continue to do the same things and expect a different result. If your goal is to be in the presence of the Father and to be changed from glory to glory\, then you won’t let anything stop you from getting there. Not even 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 many ways I have access to You. I can speak in tongues and the Holy Spirit makes intercession for me. I can speak to You in the natural and make my requests known to You. I can pray the scripture and allow the word to govern my request to You. I can come boldly before Your throne. I thank You for being able to worship You in tongues and with my understanding. I thank You because every pathway into Your presence is available to me. I repent for allowing anything and anyone to stop\, redirect\, or put shackles on me. I will respond as I am moved by You. I will come to You with whatever request I want. I know You will answer me and teach me how to celebrate Your answer. I want to be changed into Your image and I will allow You to change me…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 8:15
DESCRIPTION:Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption\, whereby we cry\, Abba\, Father. (KJV) \nAre you willing to be used by God in difficult situations? \nHave you heard or read a definition of Fear that states: Fear is false evidence appearing real? You may have quoted it and used it for encouragement to someone else. Sometimes the evidence is not false and there may be a legitimate reason to be fearful. The doctors may have found cancer\, high blood pressure\, a tumor\, spots on the mammogram\, etc. At that point\, you cry out to your Daddy\, and then stand. You don’t walk in torment because of the report. You walk in the power that says whatever happens\, God’s desire will prevail in your life. He knows what you can handle. His thoughts are good and not evil. He has an expected end for your life. Can you accept you may have to go through some difficult situations\, or do you want God to intervene supernaturally? \nJohn 9:1-3 And as Jesus passed by\, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him\, saying\, Master\, who did sin\, this man\, or his parents\, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered\, Neither hath this man sinned\, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. (KJV) \nIt is not wrong to want the intervention. Maybe the reason you are in the situation is for God to manifest His work in you. Did you ever stop to think that God chose you for the task? Can you imagine God wanted someone to show the world how to go through\, without fear\, knowing He is in control; and He picked you. If you are willing\, you can hold your head up and stand victorious because of His power at work within you. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, there have been times in my life when I have gotten bad reports. I repent for responding to the situation and the report instead of trusting You. I know there are more bad reports and tough times coming. When they come\, I will have to choose how I am going to respond again. Help me choose to trust You\, to believe You\, and to stand on Your word without moving. The enemy is no longer trying to fool me with imaginations and dismal forebodings. He is coming against me with actual situations and circumstances. Father\, I have to deal with them. I have to face them. I want to believe the report of the Lord. I want to believe I am above and not beneath. I want to believe I am the lender and not one who borrows. Help me hear the facts\, yet believe The Truth. I know I cannot allow fear\, intimidation\, or anything the enemy throws my way to govern me. I know I can cry out to You\, Daddy\, and find peace and refuge in the midst of any storm. I want to always ask You to remove the problem. I want to know You have already given me the strength to endure it and I will be the better for it…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 John 5:4
DESCRIPTION:1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world\, even our faith. (KJV) \nWho or what is your faith in? \nAre there days when you just don’t feel like an overcomer? The wonderful thing is\, even though you may not feel like it\, you are an overcomer. If you are born again\, then you do not base your ability to overcome on you; you base your ability to overcome on the Father and the faith you have in Him. \n1 John 5:4-5 You see\, every child of God overcomes the world\, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world. 5 So who are the world conquerors\, defeating its power? Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. (TPT) \nFaith also not a feeling\, it is a fact. According to your faith\, though it is only the size of a mustard seed\, you can move mountains. You have to make sure your faith is in the Father and His will. Just hoping and even praying God will do something\, because you want it\, is not faith. God’s will is His word\, and His word is His will; this is the foundation of your faith. \n1 John 5:13-15 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does]\, so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life. 14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will\, [that is\, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us. 15 And if we know [for a fact\, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask\, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him. (AMP) \nThis can be tricky sometimes because you may be able to find scriptures that substantiate your desire. Then you have to wait and see if what you want is God’s will in the situation. You will see if He answers your prayer in the way you requested\, or He requires you to align yourself with His will. You can and will overcome because He knows what’s best. \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 because I am born of Your Spirit; I have victory and I am an overcomer. I thank You for sealing truth in me. I am not shaken when the enemy comes. Your word says even if my faith is as small as a mustard seed\, I can speak to my mountains. I thank You for showing me Your will when my prayers and my desires do not line up. I thank You for continuing to draw me close. I will spend more time with You. It is during those times when You identify the things in my life that don’t line up with Your will. You are developing me. I won’t quit because something did not go my way or simply because it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable for me. I am learning to embrace and accept Your will. I repent for using my prayers and what I may have found in the word to influence You\, command Your power\, usurp Your authority\, or dictate the outcome. I have the faith to bring under subjection any thought\, emotion or idea that exalts itself against You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:2 Peter 1:1
DESCRIPTION:2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter\, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ\, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ: (KJV) \nWho are your friends? \nAs you continue to accept the will of God for your life\, you will begin to identify yourself as an extension of God’s will. Titles\, positions and associations with men will not define you. You will understand your relationship with the Lord Jesus will define all you are and ever hope to be. \nActs 17:28 For in him we live\, and move\, and have our being; (KJV) \nYou won’t be partners with those who live a compromised life. Why? Because their views of what is acceptable and what is not will differ from yours. You will witness to those who reject God\, not try to be friends with them; you want them to come into the knowledge of the truth. How can you make a friendship between right and wrong? That’s not friendship; that’s war. Light cannot be best friends with dark. \n1 Corinthians 15:33 So stop fooling yourselves! Evil companions will corrupt good morals and character. (TPT) \nYou will want to be around those who see themselves as a temple in whom God lives. You will desire to be friends with like-minded believers who will encourage you and who you will encourage. You will want to fellowship with those who have made the same claim you made\, “I am a servant of the most high God”. \nJohn 15:15 I no longer call you slaves\, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends\, since I have told you everything the Father told me. (NKJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, First I want to repent for choosing my friends without seeking You. You kept me. I thank You for surrounding me with believers who are like-minded. We do not base our connection on title\, position\, or economic status. We base our connection on our ability to feel Your presence. We build each other up\, sharing truth and grace when needed. We can see You in each other’s lives\, to witness Your transformation power and celebrate what You are doing\, and I thank You. We encourage each other to seek You more and more\, and You will continue to buff and polish us. Father\, I want to be the person You created me to be and ultimately the image and likeness of Your Son and my brother\, Jesus Christ. I honor You by choosing those I fellowship with and those I council with by the Spirit and not the flesh. You give me the opportunity to minister to believers and to encourage them. I give You glory and honor for living in a time where I have the liberty and the freedom to speak Your name…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:James 2:22
DESCRIPTION:James 2:22 You see that [his] faith was working together with his works\, and as a result of the works\, his faith was completed [reaching its maturity when he expressed his faith through obedience]. (AMP) \nAre your responses to life building your faith? \nDo you say you are a Christian? Do you believe God has a plan for your life? Do you believe His plan is for good and not for evil? Do you believe\, if the Lord began the plan\, He will perform it? If you said yes to all those questions\, then you should act like it. Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem that gives an excellent example of the life a believer should live. \nYou should be able to stay calm when everyone else is coming apart. \nYou should stand on what you know the Lord has spoken to you\, when everyone around you doubts you. \nYou should be able to wait on the Lord and not get tired of waiting. \nIf you are being lied about\, you should not deal in lies. \nIf you are being treated with hatred\, you should not give place to hating. \nYou should be able to speak to crowds and not become arrogant. \nYou should be able to walk with Kings and remain humble. \nNeither your enemies nor loving friends should be able to hurt you. \nIf you can live the life described in the edited poem\, every blessing God has promised\, in this life will be yours. What’s more\, you can truly call yourself a Christian! \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 faith. You gave me the faith I needed to trust You for my salvation. You gave me instruction on how to increase my faith. As I spend time with You\, as I pray and wait for Your answer to my prayers\, as I watch to see You at work\, my faith is increased. I know it is not enough for me to have faith; I have to demonstrate my faith by allowing You to work through me. I repent for those times when I did not take what I knew about faith in You and act upon it. Thank You for teaching me the way to show I have faith in You. I will not lie to get ahead. I will not mistreat those who mistreat me. I know faith without works is dead. My desire is to live a life that says\, “I believe God”. If I can live that life\, then I will have done my part to help You be lifted\, then You will draw all men unto You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:2 Timothy 3:13
DESCRIPTION:2 Timothy 3:13 People who are trapped in the mindset of hardships\, labors and annoyances will continue to desperately try to get mileage out of a dead and redundant system. The lie that they believe is the very currency in which they trade. (TMB) \nDo you live and speak of hope? \nDo you listen to the radio or watch the news and ask yourself\, can it get any worse? Well\, the answer to your question is yes\, the Bible says so. \n2 Timothy 3:1-7 And know this: in the last days\, times will be hard. 2 You see\, the world will be filled with narcissistic\, money-grubbing\, pretentious\, arrogant\, and abusive people. They will rebel against their parents and will be ungrateful\, unholy\, 3 uncaring\, coldhearted\, accusing\, without restraint\, savage\, and haters of anything good. 4 Expect them to be treacherous\, reckless\, swollen with self-importance\, and given to loving pleasure more than they love God. 5 Even though they may look or act like godly people\, they’re not. They deny His power. (TVT) \nDoes that mean you just give up? No\, it does not. Those who have gone before us did not. \nJohn 16:33 And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows\, but you must be courageous\, for I have conquered the world! (TPT) \nThose who spread bad news have a purpose. They set out to manipulate you and make you think there is no hope. They are fear merchants. They make you afraid of your trials\, sorrows\, and suffering. They make you afraid of the evil in the world\, of being slandered\, maligned and insulted. When you are afraid\, you are stifled and stuck\, like a deer in the headlights. You don’t go forward; you don’t witness; you don’t preach\, you just wait for the next terrible thing to happen. You rehearse the bad news to others and cause them to fear. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed and discouraged by what you see happening. It may even appear that this world is God-less; you still should have hope. Do what it says in 1 Peter 3:15. \nBut in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. (NIV) \nSee and read the news through the eyes of Christ and live with hope. \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 giving me the opportunity to speak life and hope. I live in a world where it appears the enemy has the victory. It seems as if there is no value system. As believers\, we have turned to the worldview\, become politically correct\, and lost our power to uplift and encourage. It looks like the evildoers are prospering. I repent for allowing those feelings into my heart as well. Thank You for encouraging me. Father\, I know You have already won the victory; help me live like it. As a follower of Christ\, I know this life will not always be easy or without trial. However\, You have promised it can be real\, full and lasting. Because I accepted Jesus\, I am reborn into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay. It is imperishable\, untarnished and unfading\, reserved in heaven for me. Therefore\, I live with hope. I thank You because I am not governed by what I see. I am governed by what Your word says and the truth You have breathed in me. Though\, in the end\, I will be with You in glory; I can and should have joy and hope right now. I thank You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
