SUMMARY:Hebrews 12:12
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 12:12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees\, (TMB) \nAre you pouting or praising? \nChildren often pout after their parents have punished them for something. They get silent and refuse to talk to anyone or take part in whatever activities are going on. They don’t realize the punishment is for their good. Know any adults who act the same way? How do you act when God chastises you? \n1 Thessalonians 5:18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (AMP) \nWhen things don’t go the way you want them to. When God does not work out the situation the way you wanted it to be worked out. When there is no creative miracle for you. What do you do? \nJames 1:2-4 Consider it a sheer gift\, friends\, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure\, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed\, not deficient in any way. (MSG) \nAt this stage in your understanding of the spiritual war and level of your training\, the answer should ring in your heart and spring from your lips. “I am standing tall!!” Are you? The old folks used to say\, “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps”. Not sure how to do that\, however the point is\, tighten your grip on the Lord and get ready for the next round. David encouraged himself in the Lord (1Sam 30:6). You have to do the same. \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 hope to say\, “I know how to abound and how to be abased”. I don’t want to be Your child who throws a temper tantrum. I want to be Your child who understands You and acknowledges that You know what is best for me. I repent for trying to force You to do things my way. Keep me close as I accept Your choices for my life and align my will with Yours. Shine Your light on my thoughts and actions when I am expecting You to do what I want You to do\, when I want You to do it\, and how I want You to do it. I know You will continue to teach me\, if I allow You to. Father\, I will allow You to\, because I want to continue to grow. I am gaining clarity and I am maturing. I understand if I always got what I wanted\, my life would be a complete mess. Thank You for only giving me what You know is best for me…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 15:5
DESCRIPTION:John 15:5 I am the vine\, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me\, and I in him\, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (KJV) \nCan someone pick a piece of fruit from you? \nIt is fruit bearing season. There is a story in the Bible when Jesus cursed the fig tree (Mark 11:12-13\, 20-21). Now\, He did not curse it just because it did not have fruit. This was not the season for bearing fruit. He cursed it because it “looked” like it had fruit. Fruit usually comes before the leaves. When Jesus saw the leaves from a far off\, He thought there would be fruit. He was hungry and a tree with fruit would meet His need. Make sure you are not “pretending” to be someone who can meet a need. \nMatthew 23:27-28 Woe to you\, teachers of the law and Pharisees\, you hypocrites! You are like a grave that has been whitewashed. You look beautiful on the outside\, but on the inside\, you are full of moldering bones and decaying rot. 28 You appear\, at first blush\, to be righteous\, selfless\, and pure; but on the inside you are polluted\, sunk in hypocrisy and confusion and lawlessness. (TVT) \nNo matter how talented you are and how gifted you are\, without God\, you can do nothing. You can’t just appear to be full of fruit from far away. Someone is going to come to pick a piece of fruit off your tree because: \n\nThey may not understand a love that does not come with a price tag\, and they need divine love in all its varied expressions.\nThey may not know what life is like without despair\, and they need joy.\nThey may be full of conflict\, and they need peace that subdues.\nThey may not have had someone walk with them despite the life they have chosen\, and they need patience that endures.\nThey may only know cruelty and need to see kindness in action.\nThey may not know what goodness looks like\, and they need an example of a life full of virtue.\nThey may not have any faith\, or their faith wavers\, and they need to know there is a God Who provides faith that prevails.\nThey may have never experienced mercy. They can’t imagine how their life would be different and they need someone who has a gentle heart.\nThey may not have any self-control and they need someone who can show them that strength of spirit is possible.\n\nAre you that person? Can you be? Yes\, to make sure you have fruit\, you must abide. \nColossians 1:9b-10 that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes]\, and in understanding [of spiritual things]\, 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character\, moral courage\, and personal integrity]\, to [fully] please Him in all things\, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith\, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; (AMP) \nSpend time in the presence of the Lord\, and when someone comes to pick a piece of fruit from your tree\, they are not disappointed. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, because I am saved\, I can have the fruit of the Spirit. It can operate in my life and I thank You. I understand I have to abide in You\, if the fruit will be available when there is a need. I don’t want to be the person who appears to be spiritual when I am really not. When the time comes for someone who needs long-suffering\, who needs temperance\, I want to provide it. Thank You for showing me this is not a some-of-the-time thing\, this is an all-of-the-time thing. You will send people into my life who will need what You have already placed inside me. I don’t want them to leave worse than they came. I want to enrich and encourage them. I know in order for rivers of living water to flow from me; I have to spend time with You. Not in fleeting moments and not when I can fit You in. I purpose to have dedicated and consecrated time with You. I need that special time to accept Your correction\, Your discipline and Your development. When I stray\, help me come back to You. You are my center. Help me abide…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Philippians 2:3
DESCRIPTION:Philippians 2:3 No hidden agenda with a compromised mixture of leaven or empty philosophical flattery can match a mind that genuinely values others above oneself (TMB) \nDo you have a hidden agenda? \nWhat’s in it for me? Isn’t that what Peter asked Jesus? (Matthew 19:27) \nMatthew 6:33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at\, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God]\, and all these things will be given to you also. (AMP) \nAre you wondering when “all those things” are going to manifest? Maybe you are at the point where you don’t ask that question anymore? Have you passed the point of thinking about what could bless you; or who could bless you if you did…\nASK THE LORD WHAT HE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU ABOUT TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL AND JOURNAL IT HERE: ? There is no shame in wanting to be blessed. Not only has God blessed you and will continue to bless you\, He also attached a promise to your giving. \nLuke 6:38 “Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you\, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.” (TPT) \nYou don’t always know who God will use to bless you. What you know is all blessings come from God and He has promised to bless you. You know they are coming. Why couldn’t it be because of something that you did? The thing is\, what you may or may not get can’t be the motivation for your actions. Your motivation has to come from the pure desire to be of service to someone else. \nCorinthians 9:7 Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart\, not grudgingly or under compulsion\, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. (AMP) \nWhen you give from your heart\, you can “feel” nothing happened because of what you did. The good thing is\, you won’t look back on your actions with regret. As a side note\, something always happens; you reap what you sow. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, God\, I never thought I had a hidden agenda. Thank You for requiring me to evaluate my heart. Thank You for reminding me my desires and my service have to be pure and unselfish. My only agenda has to be: Your glory. I can’t choose to do or not do something based on what I think the person could do for me. I want to be an instrument of Your service. For You to use me where\, when and with whom\, is a manifestation of Your sovereignty. I want to rejoice in every service I provide. You have shown me I am not wrong for thinking my deeds might be the beginning of something. As long as I am not motivated by a reward\, I don’t run after what I think I should get\, and/or I don’t pout if what I hoped might happen does not materialize. I repent for the times when my ideas took me down the wrong path. I will diligently examine my thoughts beforehand. I want You to get the glory out of all I do…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew19:22
DESCRIPTION:Matthew19:22 But when the young man heard that saying\, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. (KJV) \nHave you gone away sad?  \nWhen you are inspired to go to the Lord and ask what He would have of you; be ready for the answer. To say you surrender all sounds wonderful and is the response that strong worship\, praise and prayer invoke. \nPsalm 37:4-6 Seek your happiness in the Lord\, and he will give you your heart’s desire. 5 Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him\, and he will help you; 6 he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun. (GNT) \nPlease understand\, it is in the next level of warfare where God gives you what you asked Him for. You get more of Him\, more insight\, more revelation\, and things change. \nJohn 14:12-13 I assure you and most solemnly say to you\, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach]\, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in My name [as My representative]\, this I will do\, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. (AMP) \nWill the devil just move to the side and allow you to walk in this deeper place? No\, it may even seem to you that the enemy is attacking you more often and with greater intensity. Have you convinced yourself that problems at home have doubled\, on the job have tripled\, and at church have quadrupled? When you answered God’s call\, you promised to do whatever God said. Now that you have found out only some of what God requires and what type of war you have to fight; what do you do? Do you change your mind because the battle is “more than you can bear”? Do you ask the Lord to allow you to stop and pick this up when you are better equipped to handle it? Do you strengthen your resolve\, dig in\, and see the salvation of the Lord? \nPsalm 27:13-14 I would have lost heart\, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage\, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait\, I say\, on the Lord! (NKJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I am often surprised at Your answer when I ask You\, “What do You want me to do?” I confess I used to hope it was something I already thought You would require. I repent for trying to direct Your process. I am older and I pray wiser now. I don’t want to go away sad when Your answer is\, “Get up early every morning and talk to Me”. “Lift My name everywhere You go\, no matter the response.” “Be encouraging to someone who is belittling or mishandling You.” “Give an extra 10% in tithes and offering today”. “Ask someone to forgive You when they are at fault.” The greatest gift I can give; the greatest response I can have to Your answer\, is to say yes. I have to “want to” allow Your love to shine through me by being obedient. I don’t want to go away sad. I want to go away rejoicing and living out Your will for my life…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Galatians 6:8
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 6:8 The flesh cannot compete with the spirit; just like with Adam\, the fruit of the DIY tree still produces death\, while faith produces the spirit fruit of the life of the ages\, the God-kind of life. (TMB) \nWhat harvest are you going to reap? \nNot sure who coined the phrase “If it feels good\, do it”. Nike took it to the next level and said\, “Just do it”. At that point\, it doesn’t matter if it feels good or not. I am sure Nike was talking about exercising in their shoes. Now the world has taken that phrase to the highest level. The phrase has taken on a life all its own. The goal is to satisfy the hunger of the flesh at any cost\, no matter the cost. What we don’t realize\, there is a cost. Doing whatever you want\, when you want\, how you want\, and with whom you want\, comes with a price. \nRomans 6:23a For the wages of sin is death; (KJV) \nIf you dance to the music\, you have to pay the piper. The price of unfettered freedom is corruption of the mind and body. Ultimately\, you spend eternity in hell. \nJames 1:14-16 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away\, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust\, passion). 15 Then when the illicit desire has conceived\, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course\, it gives birth to death. 16 Do not be misled\, my beloved brothers and sisters. (AMP) \nAren’t you glad God made provision? I am. \nRomans 6:23b but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV) \nWhen you do those things that strengthen the spirit\, i.e.\, praying in the holy ghost\, worshipping\, studying the word; you are planting seeds that bring forth a harvest of life in paradise. \n2 Peter 1:5-8 For this very reason\, applying your diligence [to the divine promises\, make every effort] in [exercising] your faith to\, develop moral excellence\, and in moral excellence\, knowledge (insight\, understanding)\, 6 and in your knowledge\, self-control\, and in your self-control\, steadfastness\, and in your steadfastness\, godliness\, 7 and in your godliness\, brotherly affection\, and in your brotherly affection\, [develop Christian] love [that is\, learn to unselfishly seek the best for others and to do things for their benefit]. 8 For as these qualities are yours and are increasing [in you as you grow toward spiritual maturity]\, they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in regard to the true knowledge and greater understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ. (AMP) (Amplified Bible) \nWhen you change what you plant\, you change what you harvest. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, in this world\, I am encouraged to make my way\, to name it and claim it\, to be the captain of my ship\, and make it happen. I’ve learned I am not making my way\, even when it seems like I am. You love me enough to show me I don’t even know what my way really is. I only thought I knew. The problem with me doing what I thought was right is I ended up doing things that grieved You. I repent. You taught me not to make decisions based on what I see in the natural. You taught me not to compare my life to others that I think are successful. You taught me the world’s definition of achievement is not the same as Yours. Thank You for allowing me to change what I was planting. I don’t want to make my way. I want to spend time in Your presence and have You order my steps. I want to live a life that glorifies You. Whether the world deems my life to be prosperous is not important to me anymore. I want to live the God-kind of life. I want to make the God-kind of choices. I want to reap the God-kind of harvest…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:2 Corinthians 2:8
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 2:8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. (KJV) \nAre you managing forgiveness?  \nThere is no way around it. If you say you love the Lord\, you have to forgive. Here is what makes it tricky. Some offenses “seem” to affect you more than others\, carry more weight\, and do more damage. No matter how you feel\, you must extend the same grace you have received. Unforgiveness can really negatively affect you because the same pattern of forgives you use\, God uses toward you. \nMark 11:25 When you pray\, if you remember anyone who has wronged you\, forgive him so that God above can also forgive you. (TVT) \nMatthew 6:14-15 If you forgive people when they sin against you\, then your Father will forgive you when you sin against Him and when you sin against your neighbor. 15 But if you do not forgive your neighbors’ sins\, your Father will not forgive your sins. (TVT) \nUnforgiveness can prove to be worse and really dangerous territory for the one you choose not to forgive. The devil can get an advantage in his/her life. He can also use your unforgiveness to cause hard thoughts toward God and religion. He could drive that person to a place of despair and have him/her think Christians are\, and therefore God is\, unforgiving. Unforgiveness causes bitterness\, which the love of God does not shine through. Therefore\, how can you witness? \nHebrews 12:15 Watch over each other to make sure that no one misses the revelation of God’s grace. And make sure no one lives with a root of bitterness sprouting within them which will only cause trouble and poison the hearts of many. (TPT) \nAre you applying the standard God set for forgiveness? Do you really want to live with unforgiveness in your heart? Do you keep in mind that you don’t want to be overindulging of sin or too severe? Only God can help you navigate the answers to these questions. Please remember\, this is how you confirm the love of God lives in you. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I confess managing forgiveness is sometimes hard for me. I think I forgive most things\, however there are some things that are really tough for me. I wanted to forgive\, yet I felt as though forgiving would give leeway to more of the same behavior. I thought it would give my stamp of approval\, and/or appear as if the behavior was not wrong. This was such a struggle for me. I repent because I know thinking like this is judgement\, and I placed myself in a position that is Yours alone. I repent for affecting anyone’s life negatively. 70×7 was just an example Jesus used to denote the number of times we should forgive. I know there is no actual number. I used to be concerned about forgiving and what it would mean for someone who didn’t seem to be remorseful. Did that mean there is no need for a standard? Was it okay for them to do whatever they wanted? Would they take my kindness as weakness? Was I giving them permission to repeat the behavior? Thank You for showing me I am not the record keeper. Thank You for helping me see forgiveness is for me\, not for the one who offended me. I want to live a life where a person can come to me and find love\, forgiveness\, and understanding. I ask You for these things every day. I want to give someone what You give me. Help me choose my words and do what would bring You glory…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:2 Thessalonians 3:15
DESCRIPTION:2 Thessalonians 3:15 Yet count him not as an enemy\, but admonish him as a brother. (KJV) \nHave you given up on someone? \nHave your friend\, relative or acquaintance adapted a lifestyle you know was ungodly. What was your response? Was your first thought\, it’s their life? Did you somehow eliminate your need to speak to them? Did you convince yourself you would be nosy or pushy if you spoke to them? Did you wonder what happened to the joy of their salvation\, their relationship with the Lord\, their passion for the things of God? So many things could have happened. Here are a few\, to take into consideration\, to stop you from getting too judgmental: \n\nThey kept letting their schedule rule instead of making sure they did not use God’s time for something else.\nThey set their heart on things that really don’t matter and the enemy lured them away.\nThe trials in their life caused them to become discouraged\, and they focused on those problems and took their eyes off Christ.\nThey wanted prosperity and wealth. They sought after that first and not the Kingdom of heaven.\nThey drift away from God because they have habitual sin in their lives that causes them to feel guilt when they show up at church\, reluctant when they pray\, and hypocritical when they read their Bible.\n\nHave you ever been there? What does the Bible instruct you to do? \nGalatians 6:1-2 My spiritual brothers and sisters\, if one of our faithful has fallen into a trap and is snared by sin\, don’t stand idle and watch his demise. Gently restore him\, being careful not to step into your own snare. 2 Shoulder each other’s burdens\, and then you will live as the law of the Anointed teaches us. (TVT) \nDon’t give up on them. Do battle on their behalf. Today it’s them\, tomorrow it could be you. Keep their names in God’s ear. Ask Him to use you in their lives. If He gives you an open door\, speak to them with love. Prepare yourself to celebrate their return. Always remember\, He did not give up on you. \nLuke 15:8-10 8 Jesus gave them another parable: “There once was a woman who had ten valuable silver coins. When she lost one of them\, she swept her entire house\, diligently searching every nook and cranny for that one lost coin. 9 When she finally found it\, she gathered all her friends and neighbors for a celebration\, telling them\, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I had lost my precious silver coin\, but now I’ve found it.’ 10 That’s the way God responds every time one lost sinner repents and turns to him. He says to all his angels\, ‘Let’s have a joyous celebration\, for the one who was lost\, I have found!’” (TPT) \nGod may use you as water that softens the ground\, in order for Him to bring the increase. It doesn’t matter who they are or where they are. God’s grace and mercy can reach them. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I don’t want to write someone off. I know I don’t have a heaven or hell to put someone in. How dare I deal with someone as if You cannot help them? Maybe they are not my assignment. I repent for giving up. You never give up. You continue to send someone to speak a word. I don’t have the right to decide if a person wants You or not. How could I know? I have often quoted the Bible\, “A tree is known by the fruit that it bears.” Somehow\, I thought that gave me the right to let go. I am sorry. You are God\, not me. There is nothing You can’t do. There is no one You can’t reach. You reached me. I repent. Forgive me for not living a life that fulfills Your desire that none would perish…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 12:13
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 12:13 Get rid of all obstacles that could possibly cause you to stumble and sprain an ankle! Don’t let a recurrent injury force you out of the race. Recover and carry on running. Don’t allow old legalistic mind-sets to trip you up again. (TMB) \nIs your path obstruction free? \nGod has a plan for your life and a path for you to walk. You have the responsibility to make sure the path you are walking on is what God desires. \nJeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you\,” says the Lord\, “plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster\, to give you a future and a hope”. (AMP) \nAlso\, God has designed your path to be as plain and as easy to follow as possible. That is the way God does it. No hoops to jump through. \nMatthew 11:29-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (MSG) \nAlso\, keep in mind other people are watching you and trying to walk the path you are walking. \nYou cannot allow obstructions to cause you or anyone else to stumble. \nHebrews 12:1 Therefore\, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness]\, stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us\, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us\, (AMP) \nWhat are obstructions? They are addictions\, distractions\, afflictions\, distresses\, etc. Ask the Lord to show you the obstructions in your life. When He does\, whatever they are\, get rid of them. They need to go. Don’t make excuses for your wrong behavior or it will just get worse and cause you to stumble on the path and possibly cause you to fall or fail. And the sadder part is\, it could most probably cause someone else to stumble as well. \nRomans 13:14 But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)\, and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts). (AMPC) \nYou can walk the path of deliverance Jesus died for and God provided because you are strong\, healed\, and more than a conqueror. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, You have shown me the path and instructed me to walk there in. It is my responsibility to obey. I repent for the times I walked without regard to Your instructions. Thank You for always being there for me. When I am weak\, You make me strong. When I struggle\, You give me clarity. I had not thought about someone else watching my life and trying to walk my path before. I am both baffled and concerned. Knowing that someone would want to walk my path makes me even more sensitive to every time I do what I want without regard for Your word. Not only am I putting bumps\, lumps\, cracks\, and crevices on my path. I could cause someone else to fall. I can’t use the fact that the righteous man falls\, and You will help them rise again as an excuse to make provision for my flesh. I must live my life doing everything I can\, according to Your will\, and I won’t fall. Thank You for showing this to me in a clearer way. Thank You for showing me why I should desire Your path for my life. Thank You for making me realize I must choose Your path freely\, not grudgingly\, or being compelled\, or demanded. Help me continue to keep my path clear of obstacles. Please keep it is straight and level…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:James 5:19
DESCRIPTION:James 5:19 My dear friends\, if you know people who have wandered off from God’s truth\, don’t write them off. Go after them. Get them back (MSG) \nWho have you written off?   \nHave you ever lost something and thought you would not find it? Depending on how valuable it was to you\, you probably looked for it. After a while\, when you didn’t find it\, did you give up? Did you decide you were going to replace it or do without it? Well\, you can make those kinds of decisions with stuff\, not with people. What are some reasons you and your friend may have parted ways? \n\nYou have changed the way you see things\, you both have a different spiritual perspective.\nYou cannot agree to disagree because you refuse to give some validity to the other’s perspective.\nYou believe someone has to change their mind. You’re at an impasse.\nLife and choices have changed the intensity of your relationship.\n\nPlease remember\, you don’t fight against flesh and blood. The enemy thought he would separate you and make you weak. He may have used you or your friend. Know this\, you did not waste the time you invested in your friendship. During those days\, weeks\, months and/or years\, you grew and developed. What you learned will be useful for the next relationship and to encourage and strengthen someone else. \nGenesis 50:20 Even though you intended to harm me\, God intended it only for good\, and through me\, He preserved the lives of countless people\, as He is still doing today. (TVT) \nKnow that the Lord was watching and both of you will be fine. Let God dictate the ebb and flow. When He puts them on your mind\, find a way to reach out. With today’s social technology\, if you want to find them\, you will. You are not reaching out to just to rekindle what once was. You are reaching out to let them know you love them\, and they are always in your prayers. \nPhilippians 1:3-4 Whenever you cross my mind\, I thank my God for you and for the gift of knowing you. 4 My spirit is lightened with joy whenever I pray for you (and I do constantly) (TVT) \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 my friendships. You have taught me how to love those who are no longer actively a part of my life. You have given me instruction on what to do when You put them on my mind and in my heart from time to time. Until now\, I’ve just said I don’t know where they are or I don’t know how to find them. I have given myself an out. I repent for that. I can reach out. I can use the tools available to me to find them. I can talk to them. I can share Your love. You were there when the separation happened\, and You are here now. Whatever happened is in the past. I know it feels good for someone to say they love and miss me. Even if I can’t find them\, I can pray for them. You have no hands; I give You mine\, no feet; I give You mine. Help me remember this the next time You place someone on my heart. Though I can pray for them\, if I can\, I should do more…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Galatians 4:7
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 4:7 Can you see how foolish it would be for a son to continue to live his life with a slave mentality? Your son-ship qualifies you to immediately participate in all the wealth of God’s inheritance which is yours because of Christ. (TMB) \nAre you having a prodigal son moment? \nHave you made some choices and found yourself in a place where you are not living the quality and standard of life God promised? That must have been what the prodigal son was thinking when he “came to himself.” He was not wondering how he could get his lavish life back. He just wanted to be in a place where he could get food\, shelter\, safety\, and security. These were the things he knew his Father provided for his slaves. He was OK to be a slave. The thing is\, there was no reason for him to live as a slave. He did not realize the relationship he had with his father did not end because he left. It was still intact. He was still his father’s son. It did not matter where he was or how he was currently living. When he returned home\, his father proved that to him (Luke 15:11–32). \nLuke 15:20 So the young son set off for home. From a long distance away\, his father saw him coming\, dressed as a beggar\, and great compassion swelled up in his heart for his son who was returning home. The father raced out to meet him\, swept him up in his arms\, hugged him dearly\, and kissed him over and over with tender love. (TPT) \nAre you living beneath your status because of choices you have made? Are you content to keep living without your blessings because you have agreed with the enemy? You can change your situation. \nIsaiah 55:1-3 Wait and listen\, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money\, come\, buy and eat! Yes\, come\, buy [priceless\, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread\, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me\, and eat what is good\, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. 3 Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear\, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you\, even the sure mercy (kindness\, goodwill\, and compassion) promised to David. (AMPC) \nIt is not a matter of what you deserve; it is a matter of who you are. You are an heir to the throne. It is your birthright. Being an “heir” is NOT a better job\, a wife\, a husband\, a better car etc. IT IS your relationship with the Father. \nRomans 8:17 If we are God’s children\, that means we are His heirs along with the Anointed\, set to inherit everything that is His. If we share His sufferings\, we know that we will ultimately share in His glory. (TVT) \nStop living beneath your promises and return to the Lord. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, when I am feeling as if I am not living the life You promised\, I know I am the one who left. I repent for those days. I am sorry; I learned my lesson. When I am thirsty\, I come to You. You are my everlasting water. When I have no money\, I can come to You\, buy and eat without cost. I can stop spinning my wheels and doing things that cannot and will not satisfy me. I will listen to You and eat of Your word. I will delight in You. You have given me access to Your presence. I will wait for You to speak to me. You can return to me the joy of Thy salvation. You have made an everlasting covenant with me. Help me be faithful to it…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 3:12
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. (KJV) \nAre you being bold? \nHave you ever seen the original version of the Wizard of OZ? There is an iconic scene where the group has finally made it to the Wizard’s castle. It is time to see the great and powerful OZ. They are walking down this extremely long corridor\, shaking\, rattling\, trembling. They are almost scared to death. They have been told that OZ is the only one who can help them. Though they wanted his help\, they were almost too afraid to ask for it. \nYou are not a part of a movie. You are not looking for someone or something to solve all your problems with the wave of a hand. As a believer\, you know that in your time of need\, the Lord God Almighty is the only One who can help. You have to develop your relationship with the Father. Then you will not be afraid to come to Him. It does not matter what the need is. \nPhilippians 4:19 And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Amplified Bible\, AMP) \nAren’t you excited about Philippians 4:19? My prayer is that you are cultivating a deeper and stronger relationship with the Lord because of the training you are getting through this devotional. I pray you are without fear when you approach the Father\, and you are certain you can go before Him with whatever request you have. \nHebrews 4:16 Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is\, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear\, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing\, coming just at the right moment]. (Amplified Bible\, AMP) \nJesus made it possible for you to come to the Lord in confidence. Not only will the Lord hear you\, He will provide what you need. He will also make sure you can fulfill His call on and purpose 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\, You know I love movies and I thank You for using the Wizard of OZ to teach me. Thank You also for pointing out to me how You want me to be like those characters\, as I come to You\, and how You want me to be different. I repent for the times I came to You shaking\, trembling\, and afraid. I know better now. I thank You because I can come boldly before Your throne of grace. You have shown me You want me to bring every desire\, thought\, or idea to You. No matter what it is\, even though what I am asking You to do may not solve my problem\, nor be what is best for me. Like them\, I have asked You to give me what I already have; I just don’t realize it. Help me understand\, what You have given me is not over there somewhere\, and it’s not out there beyond my reach. Continue to remind me of Your word. You’ve given me everything I need. I have to walk it out. Titles\, accolades\, validations by men\, and positions cannot and will not do it for me. Help me see myself as You do\, embrace what You have placed in me\, and live my life as Your lead and direct me. Help me continue to seek You and submit to You as You cultivate the gifts and talents You have given me. Help me obey Your guidance and instruction and allow You to use it as You will. Not only does it take boldness to come before You\, it also takes boldness to hear You and obey. Please continue to cultivate boldness in me…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:2 Timothy 1:7
DESCRIPTION:2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power\, and of love\, and of a sound mind. (KJV) \nDo you realize what you have? \nHow many times have you read or quoted 2 Timothy 1:7? How do you apply it to your life? What does it mean to you? Do you understand what fear\, power\, love\, and a sound mind mean to your walk with the Lord? In order to walk in the God-kind of power\, love and mental stability\, you must stay in the presence of God by continuing in prayer\, praise\, worship and study. If you do\, God will strengthen you and you will not walk in fear. \n1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always and delight in your faith; 17 be unceasing and persistent in prayer; 18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (AMP) \n2 Timothy 1:7 is a verse to stand on. Look at what it provides as it sits as a basis for your training and at the foundation of your arsenal. First and foremost\, you don’t have fear. \nRomans 8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment]\, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry\, “Abba! Father!” (AMP) \nThere are three other things that you have that make you unstoppable. You have the power to win when you encounter foes and dangers\, to stand up to your trials\, and to live victoriously. \nLuke 10:19 Behold\, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions\, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (KJV) \nYou have the love of and for God. This love covers a multitude of faults\, yours and other peoples. \n1 Corinthians 13:7-8a Love bears all things [regardless of what comes]\, believes all things [looking for the best in each one]\, hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times]\, endures all things [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. (AMP) \nYou have a mind that is well balanced and under the influence of God. \n1 Peter 4:1-2 Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more\, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want. (MSG) \nNow that you know what you have\, live like it. You can be victorious in anything and everything you will do in 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 admit I was often too conscious of fear. I repent for all the time I spent working on not being afraid\, understanding I don’t walk in fear\, and speaking fearlessness over my life. My focus was on fear\, sent by the enemy\, and how I would not let it stop me. I spent so much of my time fighting fear. I didn’t spend enough time meditating on Your word and prophesying it over my life. That has changed. I have victory. I have the power to run through a troop and leap over a wall. I can triumph in You. Your love dispels any dismal foreboding I may have; covers my faults and allows me to forgive. You have renewed my mind. I am more than a conqueror; I am an overcomer. Thank You\, Father\, I will no longer waste my time thinking about fear. I will spend my time using the weapons You’ve given me\, growing\, being stronger and speaking of the strength I walk in because of You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 4:16
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 4:16 For this reason we can approach the authoritative throne of grace with bold utterance. We are welcome there in his embrace\, and are reinforced with immediate effect in times of trouble. (MSG) \nAre you boldly taking ownership of your sin? \nIsn’t it great you don’t serve an “I-told-you-so” God? One that is waiting to show you how right He is and how wrong you are? \nRomans 8:1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus\, the Anointed One. (TPT) \nYou read the word. You study. You know what the word says you should do. Sometimes you just don’t do it. The amazing thing is you have a really good reason (according to you) for disobeying. In those times\, you have to go to God and ask Him to forgive you and clean up your mess. \nPsalm 34:17 When the righteous cry [for help]\, the Lord hears And rescues them from all their distress and troubles. (AMP) \nHow will He clean up for you? It may be\, He needs to withhold punishment you should get. He may need to bless you despite what you have done and give you what you don’t deserve. Whatever it is\, He is always there. He gives you what you need at that moment. He will not turn away from you when you cry to Him. Here is the focus scripture in a different translation. \nHebrews 4:16 Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is\, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear\, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing\, coming just at the right moment]. (AMP) \nJesus took on your sins. The Father does not see them. He only sees His love for you and His desire to bless you. What is your part in this scenario? Own what you did. Confess and be truly sorry. \nPsalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the heartbroken And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart\, truly sorry for their sin). (AMP) \nTake these truths and go boldly and tell your Lord and your God what you’ve done. It’s not like He does not already know. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, You see and know everything I do\, the pleasing things and the grievous things. Yet\, You allow me to come to You and I thank You. I repent for all the messes I created in my efforts to work things out my way. I also repent for the times when I simply disobeyed You because I gave place to my flesh. In either case\, You love me still. You permit me to come to You and tell You what happened. Even though You already know. You don’t make me feel ashamed or dirty. You bless me. You show mercy and give me what I need right then and for moments to come. I understand I will reap what I’ve sown. Thank You for giving me the grace to endure and learn from the mess\, as I get from where I am to the next place You’re taking me. I am grateful\, and I bless Your name…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 Peter 1:4
DESCRIPTION:1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible\, and undefiled\, and that fadeth not away\, reserved in heaven for you\, (KJV) \nDo you understand the value of your inheritance? \nSometimes the people you trust don’t keep their promises. Estate values diminish. The amount of money you thought would be there had to be used for something else. The stock market determined your net worth to be less than you thought. Kings and kingdoms have passed away and will continue to do so. However\, these principles do not apply to the Kingdom of God. \nDaniel 4:3 How great are His signs\, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom\, And His dominion is from generation to generation. (NKJV) \nYou are heir to the throne of God. God’s kingdom will stand throughout eternity. Heaven is what God has promised. Your inheritance will remain pure\, untarnished\, and reserved for you. Your only responsibility is to keep the faith and believe. \nColossians 1:22-23 yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death\, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach—23 [and He will do this] if you continue in the faith\, well-grounded and steadfast\, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard\, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven\, and of which [gospel] I\, Paul\, was made a minister. (AMP) \nYou demonstrate what you believe through your walk\, your worship\, and reverential awe of God. The hope of God’s promise being revealed is a powerful weapon against the enemy. Understand who you are and use that understanding to fight victoriously. Always remember\, there is no other Father you want to have. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, from a natural standpoint\, I do not know what it means to be an heir to a kingdom. I thank You for teaching me what it means to be Your heir. I repent for the times when I devalued my inheritance out of ignorance. I am sorry. Now I know how to accept what You’ve done for me and embrace my inheritance. I kneel before You knowing there is no other family I would rather be a part of. There is nothing in any lineage that is more powerful or that I would want to lay claim to. I only want the blessings and birthright set aside for Your children. I know Your kingdom will not pass away. I know You will uphold every word You’ve spoken to me and every promise You’ve given me. I know there is nothing I have done to deserve this honor. I simply say thank You. I know I must mirror in the life I live\, the gratitude I speak of. I repent for those days that I don’t. Thank You for reminding me. Thank You for keeping me and helping me to live my life in a manner that is pleasing to You. I want to dwell in Your presence forever…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 John 3:19
DESCRIPTION:1 John 3:19 In this we know that our beingness is sourced in that which is really true about us; our doing good is not phony or make-believe; this is who we are in God’s sight and in his belief! (TMB) \nAre you too good to be true? \nYou are being trained by the Holy Spirit to walk in a place where you no longer have just the “form of godliness”\, you walk in the power and authority of God as well. \nJohn 14:12 “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith\, believing in me\, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father”! (TPT) \nYou have to know and believe in what God has done and is continuing to do in your life. You are being changed from glory to glory. Look at your responses today as compared to what they were a week\, a month\, or a year ago. Those changes represent God standing up in you. \n2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is\, grafted in\, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior]\, he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold\, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. (AMP) \nIt does not matter if you are surrounded by people who say things like\, “That’s not real\, nobody is that nice\, or that happy.” You walk in confidence and peace\, not through pretense or for the praise of men. You walk in this place because the power of God transformed you. \n2 Corinthians 3:4-5 Such is the reliance and confidence that we have through Christ toward and with reference to God. 5 Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us\, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God. (AMPC) \nAll praise to God\, not because of what you do or don’t do\, because of who you are in Him! \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You because my worship is real. I live my life to give You glory. I understand I am sometimes misinterpreted and misunderstood. For whatever part I play in the confusion\, I repent. The enemy is always trying to plant the thought of some hidden agenda behind how I live my life. I also repent for allowing him to make me think I have to prove who I am to You. I love You. It is not phony and I know You see into my heart. I can’t fool You. There is no other way for me to show You how much I love You than through the life I live. How I walk through the tough times and what I say when I am being pressed. My actions show the world; not who I am\, they show Who You are. Thank You for every opportunity to amaze me and others. I don’t want to misrepresent You ever. My life\, and how I live it\, expresses my gratitude. My prayer is that I please You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 John 2:1
DESCRIPTION:1 John 2:1 My darling little children\, the reason I write these things to you is so that you will not believe a lie about yourselves! If anyone does believe a distorted image to be their reality\, we have Jesus Christ who defines our likeness face to face with the Father! He is our parakletos\, the one who endorses our true identity\, being both the source and the reflection of the Father’s image in us! (TMB) \nAre you looking at a distorted image of yourself? \nIf you sin\, does that mean you are not really saved? Absolutely not. This is one of the fundamental attacks against you the devil uses. He starts the first moment you get saved. The devil will actively and continually attack the truth of your salvation. He wants to stop you before you ever get started. Then you are no threat. Why would the Lord allow it? You are being tested and you need to know what you believe. If you waiver at the first attack\, you are not ready for an assignment yet. You certainly won’t be able to take on engagements that require  “Special Forces” tactics. Now you know the reason for the attack. Make the strategy the enemy is using ineffective. You are preparing for war. To have a clear image of yourself\, you must be sure of your salvation. \nThere are no tricks or steps to be saved. \nActs 2:21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. (NKJV) \nEphesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort]\, but it is the [undeserved\, gracious] gift of God; 9 not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law]\, so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]. (AMP) \nI am saved \nRomans 10:9-10 because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power\, authority\, and majesty as God]\, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead\, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is\, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly]\, resulting in and confirming [his] salvation. (AMP) \nI have eternal life. \n1 John 5:11 And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it]\, and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness\, and eternal companionship with Him]. 12 He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life. (AMP) \nI am not alone \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) \nI am equipped \n2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction\, for conviction [of sin]\, for correction [of error and restoration to obedience]\, for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will\, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient\, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. (AMP) \nJesus died for my salvation and for all my sins: past\, present\, and future. \nHebrews 9:26 Otherwise\, He would have needed to suffer over and over since the foundation of the world; but now once for all at the consummation of the ages He has appeared and been publicly manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (AMP) \nRemember\, your salvation is a function of your confession. It is not a feeling; it is a fact. To fight this attack and be successful\, you have to “know” Jesus is on your side. You are being changed into the image of God\, day by day. Some days you reflect on your walk\, you can see the hand of God and identify major changes have happened in your life. Some days when the enemy catches you in a moment of weakness and you will slip\, you see yourself as if no changes have happened at all. Remember\, in both instances\, this is as far as you can see. Always make sure you are looking with the eyes of the Father with a clear\, not distorted view. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, my salvation is a difficult thing for me to wrap my head around. I am not saved because of something I did. I am saved because of what Jesus did. No matter what I do\, I can’t undo what Jesus did. Though my heart is toward You\, sometimes I stumble; I falter; I slip and I behave in a way not indicative of someone who loves You. Father\, I thank You I’m not lost in those moments. You don’t throw me away. Jesus died and made forgiveness available to me always. I just have to ask. Jesus bought and paid for my forgiveness with His death on the cross. I just needed to repent. I can’t really understand how or why. I can only say thank You. I will not allow the enemy to convince me You would turn me away. I will especially not allow the enemy to convince me I am not really Yours. He will not stop me from doing what You have called me to do with lies about who I am and what I possess through salvation. I am saved! I will continue to come to You and confess my wrongs. I will continue to seek You and thank You. I will continue to do everything I can do with my life to say\, I love You and I’m grateful…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 27:51
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 27:51 And\, behold\, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake\, and the rocks rent; (KJV) \nIs the veil still in place in your life? \nA veil is most often used to conceal what is underneath. The devil is good at placing veils over your eyes and your heart. \n2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But even if our gospel is [in some sense] hidden [behind a veil]\, it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing; 4 among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ\, who is the image of God (AMP) \nThe devil is not more powerful than God. \n2 Corinthians 4:6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness\, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (AMP) \nIs there anything that could stop God from granting you access to Him? How far would He go? The answer is\, there is nothing that could stop Him from being available to you. He went all the way to the death of His only son\, that’s how far. It is really unimaginable\, the majesty and the power. He revealed The Holy of Holies to everyone. No longer separated in the outer court. You have entry into the mercy seat. \nRomans 3:25 Whom God put forward [before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation\, to be received] through faith. This was to show God’s righteousness\, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over and ignored former sins without punishment. (AMPC) \nJesus’ crucifixion tore the veil that hid God’s true image. His resurrection\, which made provision for salvation\, tore the veil separating you from the Lord as well. Make sure you have not allowed the devil to put it back. Shake yourself at the root and break up the stones in your heart. Purpose to walk in the authority and power that Jesus’ death bought. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, You are not hidden behind a veil. Thank You for freedom and access to You. Nothing separates me from You. As I’m praying\, I think about the things I wish I had done differently. I repent for the wrong choices. If I could\, turn back time\, I would not make the mistakes and You would not have had to know what they were. I would erase every thought and every word I said that was not pleasing to You. I can’t and You know everything\, my actions\, my thoughts and my words. You have always had access to me. And even as I am praying\, You are reminding me; I don’t have to turn back time. You’ve already but every mistake into the sea of forgetfulness. To say I am appreciative is not enough. I’m grateful doesn’t get it done. Thank You does not measure up. I don’t have words. I need You to please look into my heart and see I am glad You know what is there. I will still say\, Thank You Father. You have given me deeper revelation of my access to You. There is power and authority in Your presence\, which I can call upon only when I stand pure before You\, not trying to hide anything. I must confess all\, then You can forgive me and cleanse me. I want the treasure You placed within me to be revealed. Please continue to shake me until everything that is not like You falls off. Thank You for it…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 14:6
DESCRIPTION:John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him\, I am the way\, the truth\, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father\, but by me. (KJV) \nWhich way are you walking in? \nTrains run on tracks monitored by the traffic operations center\, driven by the engineer and coordinated by the conductor. Though the conductor has overall responsibility for the train\, sometimes things happen the conductor is not aware of. Then\, the traffic operations center determines what needs to be done. It could be a reduction of speed\, dropping some weight\, switching to another track\, etc. The traffic operations center notifies the conductor and can even change what track the train is on by triggering a railroad switch called a turnout. The traffic operations center activates the switch\, if the train needs to change\, and the train can safely transfer from one track to another. The engineer’s job is to make sure the train moves when and if directed to do so\, in order for the train to get to its destination safely and at the appointed time. \nThe Father owns the tracks and is at work in your life with Jesus\, your traffic operations center. The Holy Spirit is the conductor\, and you are the engineer on the train called your Christian walk. \nPsalm 1 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) \nYou are to make sure all aspects of your life are working to glorify God. God will test you. You will either pass or fail every day. As the conductor\, you use your body\, your mind and your spirit to drive the train. The body\, and all the lusts that entice it\, has to be disciplined\, through prayer and fasting. \nIsaiah 58:6 “[Rather] is this not the fast which I choose\, To undo the bonds of wickedness\, To tear to pieces the ropes of the yoke\, To let the oppressed go free And break apart every [enslaving] yoke”? (AMP) \nYour mind will war against what the Lord commands and desires because you want what you want. If left unchecked\, you win\, not the will of God. \n2 Corinthians 10:5-6 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture\, like prisoners of war\, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. 6 Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry\, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion\, as soon as you choose complete obedience. (TPT) \nSalvation created the spiritual connection (the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11). You cannot live the life God designed for you if you are not listening\, at all times. Discipline yourself and fine tune your ears\, because the Lord is speaking to you at all times. \nIsaiah 30:21 And your ears will hear a word behind you\, saying\, This is the way; walk in it\, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left. (AMPC) \nEvery time your train is running\, and a change needs to be made\, Jesus\, who is always making intercession for you\, signals you through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lets you know you need to stop\, slow down\, switch to a new track\, change what you are doing and/or how you are doing it\, etc. With the Holy Spirit’s guidance\, you can accept the change and choose Jesus\, no matter what He requires\, every day. However\, you are in control\, and you don’t have to. \nProverbs 16:25 There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him\, But its end is the way of death (AMP) \nChoose wisely. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, even though I know You’ve already planned every step in my life\, I sometimes look at my situation and try to plan what I should do next. I repent. Even though I have history showing me there were ways that seemed right to me\, I also have history that shows what I thought was the right way turned out to be the wrong way. Yet\, I still try to plan. Again\, Father\, please forgive me. Help me allow Jesus to be my traffic operations center and trigger the junction switch. He alone can keep me on the path leading to You. I thank You for loving me enough to order my steps. I thank You for teaching me how to bring my flesh under submission to Your word. I thank You because my mind is not ruling my activities. If I am willing and obedient\, my spirit\, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead\, determines my actions. I will stay close to You in order to see the glory that You ordained for my life. I am most grateful because when I miss it\, and I will\, You can flip the switch and get me back on the right path…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 3:25
DESCRIPTION:Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood\, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past\, through the forbearance of God; (KJV) \nCan you see the love of God? \nThe greatest demonstration of God’s love and mercy is Jesus. \nJohn 3:16 For God so loved the world\, that he gave his only begotten Son\, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish\, but have everlasting life. (KJV) \nBecause of the blood of Jesus\, your sins are forgiven. There is nothing the enemy can hold over your head. \nHebrews 8:12 For I will demonstrate my mercy to them and will forgive their evil deeds\, and never remember again their sins. (TPT) \nWhen the devil comes to remind you of your past\, you can tell him about your future. \nRevelation 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death\, nor sorrow\, nor crying. There shall be no more pain\, for the former things have passed away. (NKJV) \nYou can also tell him about his future. \nRevelation 20:10 The devil\, who deceived them\, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. (NKJV) \nGratitude flows because you know God did not demand a sacrifice from you. He provided the sacrifice himself. When you think about it\, all you can see is God’s love for you. You may tell yourself you are running hard after God because you love Him and you want to please Him. The reality is: God is running hard after you. He has been from the beginning. \nJohn 15:16a You did not choose Me\, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit. (NKJV) \nRomans 5:8 But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us\, by the fact that while we were still sinners\, Christ died for us. (AMP) \nLive your life so others can see the love of God in you. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, when I met You\, I was very young. It never occurred to me I needed to understand love. As I grew older\, I thought I knew what love was. I used what my parents showed me as an example. Now I know I really didn’t know love. I could never compare Your love to any love I had experienced. I thought I could\, and I even tried to. I repent; I was wrong. As I embrace Your teaching and try to understand what You did for me through Jesus’ death\, love takes on a whole new meaning. You made provision for me to come to You. You knew I would stumble. You knew I would not choose You. You worked it out. There’s nothing I can say that would completely express what is in my heart. I just don’t have the words. Though I cannot express what I feel\, I can\, and I do open my heart to You. I will spend the rest of my life reaching for You and trying to understand Your love. I want You to see how much I appreciate Your love by the life that I lead. When I look up love in the Webster’s dictionary; it is wrong. There should be a picture of Jesus hanging on the cross. You required nothing of me\, and You gave me all\, that’s love!…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 7:25
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him\, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (KJV) \nAre you sure of the complete work of Jesus? \nPartly saved is like being partly pregnant. There is no “almost or part-way” with the Lord Almighty. He saved you completely. There is nothing left undone. \nJohn 19:28\, 30 Jesus\, seeing that everything had been completed so that the Scripture record might also be complete\, then said\, “I’m thirsty.” 30 After he took the wine\, Jesus said\, “It’s done . . . complete.” Bowing his head\, he (voluntarily) offered up his spirit. (MSG\, edited) \nHold on to this scripture when the enemy tries to make you think there is something you have to do in addition to what God has already done. God’s mercy saved you. There was nothing you could have done. \nTitus 3:5 He saved us\, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done\, but because of His own compassion and mercy\, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation\, regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit. (AMP) \nBecause Jesus finished the work\, when you cry to the Father\, in your time of need\, He hears you. There is nothing in your past to keep Him from intervening. Salvation wiped your slate clean\, and repentance keeps it clean. You have this blessed assurance\, and it is crucial when you are warring for yourself and on the behalf of others. Stand on the word. \nRomans 6:4-6 We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into death\, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory and power of the Father\, we too might walk habitually in newness of life [abandoning our old ways]. 5 For if we have become one with Him [permanently united] in the likeness of His death\, we will also certainly be [one with Him and share fully] in the likeness of His resurrection. 6 We know that our old self [our human nature without the Holy Spirit] was nailed to the cross with Him\, in order that our body of sin might be done away with\, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin. (AMP) \nAs you continue on your journey with the Lord\, whether you are the planter\, or the one who is watering; remember to speak this to encourage someone else. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for assuring me of my salvation. I repent for thinking there was something I could do or not do that could change what You have already done. You have given me Your unshakable assurance. If I repent\, there is nothing I could have done\, am doing now\, or ever will do\, You wouldn’t forgive. I thank You because I can walk on the path You set for me\, with Your assurance. I know You have ordained for me to speak to people as I travel along. Not only do they need to hear the words that I speak\, they need to feel Your presence in the truth of them. There is no gift given\, in the past\, present\, or future\, that is greater than the gift of Your love. It is available to anyone who wants it. To let a dying world know the truth of Your love\, I must live a crucified life. I must live the word and demonstrate it by faith. I have to adhere to it\, rely on it\, and completely trust in it. When I am faithful to do as You command\, those who I come in contact with won’t have to be convinced. They will immediately sense Your love and desire it for themselves…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 8:34
DESCRIPTION:Romans 8:34 What further ground can there possibly be to condemn man? In his death\, he faced our judgment; in his resurrection he reveals our righteousness; the implications cannot be undone! He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executive of our redemption in the throne room of God. (TMB) \nAre you being swayed by your cheers or boos? \nDo you sometimes feel as though you live in a fishbowl? Do you think you are being judged and evaluated with each statement you make and/or action you take? Well\, to some degree\, you are. There are those who watch you to see the right things you do. \nTitus 2:7 Titus\, you have to set a good example for everyone. Go out of your way to do what is right\, speak the truth with the weight and authority that come from an honest and pure life. No one can argue with that. (TVT) \nThere are those who watch you waiting for you to do something wrong. \nRomans 8:33-34 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died\, and furthermore is also risen\, who is even at the right hand of God\, who also makes intercession for us. (NKJV) \nIf you are not careful\, one side or both will influence you. You don’t want your behavior to feed off of either. You are more mature than that. \nEphesians 4:14 So then\, we may no longer be children\, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine\, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men\, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. (AMPC) \nYou want to live your life knowing God\, and God alone will judge you. \n2 Corinthians 5:10 In time we will all stand in judgment before the throne of the Anointed\, the Liberating King\, to receive what is just for our conduct (whether it be good or bad) while we lived in this temporary body. (TVT) \nFor those who are looking for you to do something wrong in order to criticize\, you don’t have to be bothered. You know there is no condemnation to them who are in Christ and you can stand on that. For those who think you are one step away from heaven\, remind them that all of your righteousness is as filthy rags. \nGalatians 1:10 Do you think I care about the approval of men or about the approval of God? Do you think I am on a mission to please people? If I am still spinning my wheels trying to please men\, then there is no way I can be a servant of the Anointed One\, the Liberating King. (TVT) \nThere is joy and victory for you and the opportunity to see the power of God for your spectators if you keep this balance in 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 thank You for trusting me to be Your ambassador while I am on this earth. I understand when a person looks at me; they get a glimpse of who I say You are. I know my life is being watched and evaluated by those who love You\, those who don’t love You\, and those who don’t even know You. Thank You for giving me balance and maturing me. I repent for those times the praise swayed me and the criticism daunted me. Thank You for giving me the strength and the courage to only listen to and alter my actions based on what You say about met. Only You can see into my heart. You\, and You alone\, are qualified to evaluate my actions. I am trying to live a life that is open for You to evaluate and when You do; You are pleased. You are the one who can straighten me up\, can fix me when I’ve gone wrong and help me learn to do what is right. You are the ruler of heaven and earth. You control who goes to hell. No one else can put me there. I choose to live my life to please You. As I examine myself through study\, praise\, and worship\, You show me how to live the life that gives You glory…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 7:19
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 7:19 In its ability to reunite mankind with God\, the law did not succeed even once; that is why it was superseded by the introduction of a far superior hope\, a new order in which we are perfectly represented before God. (TMB) \nIs your relationship religious or spiritual? \nAdhering to religious practices and activities does not and cannot make you perfect before God. This is important for you to know. Why? Because you could get sidetracked on your journey to a closer walk with the Lord. \nMark 7:7-9 In vain (fruitlessly and without profit) do they worship Me\, ordering and teaching [to be obeyed] as doctrines the commandments and precepts of men. 8 You disregard and give up and ask to depart from you the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men [keeping it carefully and faithfully]. 9 And He said to them\, You have a fine way of rejecting [thus thwarting and nullifying and doing away with] the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition (your own human regulations) (AMPC) \nIt does not matter how many songs you sing\, programs you chair\, prayers you pray\, tongues you speak in\, people you transport\, demons you cast out\, or meetings you attend. Works you do “for God” will not reconcile you to God. These activities cannot make atonement; they do not have the power to pay for your sins and cannot put away guilt. \nRomans 4:4-5 Now to a laborer\, his wages are not credited as a favor or a gift\, but as an obligation [something owed to him]. 5 But to the one who does not work [that is\, the one who does not try to earn his salvation by doing good]\, but believes and completely trusts in Him who justifies the ungodly\, his faith is credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God). (AMP) \nPlease don’t believe you can earn and/or sustain salvation by doing good works. Your good works will not restore things to the way God wanted them before man broke the Law and became a sinner. Thank God for Jesus! He is the new promise. \nColossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble]\, according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men\, following the elementary principles of this world\, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ. (AMP) \nDon’t get entangled in the old way\, walk in the newness of Christ! \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, I thank You for ending the need to work to have a relationship with You. Thank You for sending Jesus to die. He established my relationship through His shed blood. Thank You for not requiring me to sing a million songs or be in charge of a million programs. As if a million would be enough. Thank You most of all for the steady and quiet reminder in my spirit\, “It’s not You\, It Is Me”. The tendency to want to do things that are pleasing to men\, thinking it will please You\, has been present for as long as I can remember. I thank You for being in control. You check me when I stray off the path. I honor You. You make countless provisions for me to be transformed into Your image. I repent for every time I chose tradition instead of Your command. Thank You for never giving up on me…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 Peter 3:18
DESCRIPTION:1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins\, the just for the unjust\, that he might bring us to God\, being put to death in the flesh\, but quickened by the Spirit: (KJV) \nAre you living like you are in the presence of God? \nIt does not matter whether or not you think you were worth the sacrifice. It was not up to you\, and it’s done. Jesus died not only for you\, but for the entire world. Because you accepted His invitation to salvation\, He brought you to God. \nEphesians 2:17-19 The Great Preacher of peace and love came for you\, and His voice found those of you who were near and those who were far away. 18 By Him both have access to the Father in one Spirit. 19 And so you are no longer called outcasts and wanderers but citizens with God’s people\, members of God’s holy family\, and residents of His household. (TVT) \nThe benefit is not only heaven\, there is also much more. \n\nGod will never forget you\, leave you\, or abandon you.\n\nDeuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of good courage\, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God\, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (NKJV) \n\nThe Holy Spirit is your teacher. You have clear communication with Him.\n\n1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence (the assurance\, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan)\, He listens to and hears us. (AMPC) \n\nYou don’t fight alone.\n\nIsaiah 41:10 “Do not fear [anything]\, for I am with you; Do not be afraid\, for I am your God. I will strengthen you\, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice\, of power\, of victory\, of salvation].” (AMP) \n\nYou have the Spirit of God dwelling in you.\n\nJohn 14:17b But you know him (The Holy Spirit) intimately because he remains with you and will live inside you. (TPT\, edited) \n\nYou are a partaker of God’s Divine nature.\n\n2 Peter 1:4 By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises\, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature\, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (NKJV) \nArmed with these truths\, live like someone who has access to the Father in all you do and say. You are dead to sin and alive in Christ. It should be evident in how you live 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 thank You for the revelation that Jesus’ death brought me to You. While I am alive\, the only way I can be in Your presence is in the Spirit. My flesh has to be crucified. I repent for not laying aside what I think\, how I feel\, and what I have determined You should do in any situation when it is time for You to speak. My ego has no place in Your presence. My intellect should not determine how I should act. I am grateful I do not live in the days where the priest had to wear bells at the bottom of his robe in the event he came to You unworthily. I submit myself to You completely. You decide the who\, what\, when\, where\, why\, and how of my life. I come into Your presence to hear Your heart and get Your instruction and direction. Our relationship is spiritual. Thank You. This rhema word will forever change how I live my life…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Psalms 25:9
DESCRIPTION:Psalms 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. (KJV) \nAre you meek? \nWhat is it about meekness that appeals to the Father? What is meekness? \n\nIn a standard dictionary\, the definition is quiet\, gentle\, easily imposed on\, and submissive.\nIn a Bible dictionary\, you see a completely different definition. Meekness is a temper of mind not easily provoked to resentment.\n\nMeekness is not merely a natural virtue\, it is a Christian “grace”. It is one of the “fruit of the Spirit” (Gal 5:23). The translation from Hebrew/Greek to English is difficult because the Hebrew/Greek language is compact. One Hebrew/Greek word could be five or six different English words. This is important because scriptures identify meekness is an attitude or quality of heart\, not simply a character trait. \n1 Peter 3:4 But let it be [the inner beauty of] the hidden person of the heart\, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a meek\, gentle and peaceful spirit\, [one that is calm and self-controlled\, not overanxious\, but serene and spiritually mature] which is very precious in the sight of God. (AMP edited) \nThe meek person: \n\nWillingly accepts and submits without resistance to the will and desires of God.\nComplies with the instructions and desires of man only if they line up with God’s.\nFocusses on the wishes of God\, not on personal wants\, ideas\, and goals.\nTakes a back seat and allow God to work to achieve what is good for others.\n\nIsaiah 42:1-4 “Take a good look at my servant! I love him dearly\, for he is my chosen one. I have taken hold of him in my strength\, and I have clothed him with my Spirit. He will cause justice to spring up for the nations. 2 He will be gentle and will not quarrel with others in public. He will not exalt his own voice. 3 He would never crush a broken heart nor disregard the weak and vulnerable. He will make sure justice comes to those who are wronged. His inner being will not become faint or discouraged\, nor will his light grow dim before he establishes justice on the earth. Even the distant lands beyond the seas will hunger for his instruction.” (TPT) \nMeekness is strength under control. Blessed are the meek\, for they shall inherit the earth. \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 meekness. You require me to walk in it. I repent for thinking if I was meek\, someone would trample on me and mishandle me. I don’t have to defend myself. You will defend me. You require meekness to be evidently active in my life\, in order that any other gift\, skill\, or talent You endowed me with can shine and give You glory. You knew I would need meekness in order for You to use me. You have taught me many things about being meek. Meekness is not the opposite of assertiveness. Meekness is a quality all its own. It is the fruit of the Spirit. It is not something I put on a take off; I need to let it shine through\, all day\, every day of my life. You are calling me to bring the strength You’ve given me\, willingly under submission\, to You and Your authority. You will use it as You desire. Father\, get the glory out of my life\, please. Whatever has to be done\, do it. I humble myself before You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Colossians 3:24
DESCRIPTION:Colossians 3:24 Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (KJV) \nAre you royalty? \nYes. \n1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race\, a royal priesthood\, a consecrated nation\, a [special] people for God’s own possession\, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (AMP) \nWith that understanding\, you may ask\, “Why can’t I have some of the reward God has promised now?” Are you sure you don’t? Jesus died and rose again. Because you accepted the truth of His life\, death and resurrection\, you are an heir and you have ruling power. \nEphesians 2:6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One\, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm\, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! (TPT) \nBecause You accepted the invitation to salvation and live the life Jesus died for\, you are royalty. Though you will be with the Lord in eternity\, you also get to live like the royalty you are right now. You have benefits and rewards today. \nMark 10:29-30 Jesus said\, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you\, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms\, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake\, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with persecutions; and in the age to come\, eternal life”. (AMP) \nHere is just a small list of your privileges as an heir. There are many more: \n\nYou are more than a conqueror. (Romans 8:37).\nYou are an overcomer. (1 John 4:4).\nYou are the head only and not the tail. (Deuteronomy 28:13).\nYou can have what you say. (Mark 11:24\, Matthew 17:20).\nYou are healed. (1 Peter 2:24).\nYou are free. (John 8:36\, Galatians 5:1).\n\nYour “right now” rewards come at a cost. Jesus paid the first part; the rest you pay through sacrifice and commitment\, if you are willing and obedient. \n2 Timothy 2:10-12a Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes\, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him\, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer\, we shall also reign with him: (KJV) \nIt is up to you to realize you are royalty\, along with the privileges and rewards attached. It starts with your perception of 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 thank You for requiring me to walk and speak like the royalty I am. I am Your child. I have authority\, privileges\, and rewards right now. I repent for not taking the time to understand what it meant to be Your heir. It is so much more than asking You run around with a mop and bucket cleaning up my mess. Thank You for revelation. Being Your child means I walk in a place where I make fewer messes. I am responsible for how I see myself and what I feel about the things happening in my life\, whether they are trials or triumphs. What I do when I face any situation\, and what I say about how the outcome of the situation\, dictate the true level of my relationship with You. Wow\, what a wake-up call for me! I want my relationship with You to be intense and extreme. I’ve been measuring it by what I see in the natural. I will no longer do that. I will measure it by my transformation. I have to see myself as being changed from glory to glory. I am Your heir and a joint heir with Christ. I will live like it…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 4:14
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest\, that is passed into the heavens\, Jesus the Son of God\, let us hold fast our profession. (KJV) \nAre you standing on your profession of faith? \nHave you accepted salvation? Do you believe in the work Jesus did on the cross and in your life? Then live like it. The enemy is not just going to step aside and allow you to live a life free from his attacks. \n1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith\, lay hold on eternal life\, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (NKJV) \nYou can go to the priest\, pastor\, religious leader\, etc. you have in your life for support. However\, always remember\, Jesus is the one you should run to. He reigns above them all. He is always available and wants you to establish a relationship with Him. He is the great High Priest. Jesus is the one who made atonement for you and for the world. He alone offered the ultimate sacrifice for sins: past\, present and future. He can help you when you are faltering. \nHebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations\, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are\, yet without [committing any] sin. (AMP) \nWho is better equipped to help you\, than the Lord? No one. When the enemy comes\, your response is to stand on the truth. You have confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord; you believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead\, and He saved you. Don’t waiver. Never let the enemy make you question this\, no matter what. \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 my salvation. I thank You I confessed with my mouth Jesus is my Lord. I understand lordship means ruler. I believe in my heart on the third day You raised Him from the dead. I am saved. I repent for allowing anyone to speak over my life and that I am not saved. No one can tell me\, based on what they determine about my behavior\, I’m not saved. No one can say to me\, based on their evaluation of my life\, I’m not saved. No one can take away from me what they could not and did not give me. I stand on the truth when I’m up and I stand on the truth when I’m down. My God\, I will always profess my salvation and I give You glory…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Colossians 1:22
DESCRIPTION:Colossians 1:22 He accomplished this in dying our death in a human body; he fully represented us in order to fully present us again in blameless innocence\, face-to-face with God; with no sense of guilt\, suspicion\, regret\, or accusation; all charges against us are officially cancelled. (KJV) \nHow are you living? \nCriminal investigators round up specific suspects when they are not sure who the culprit is. They analyze the scene of the crime to get clues as to the method used to pull names from a list\, called the usual suspects. Those who have committed a similar crime before and/or who have that M.O. (modus operandi). Once a person’s name is on that list\, they can never break free of the stigma attached to them. Investigators will always know them as one of the usual suspects because of the crimes they committed in their past. It does not matter how old they get or how long ago they committed the crime. \nHere is a reason for you to celebrate. Jesus died for you. He took on your sins\, made a way for you to never sin again\, and He continually presents you before the Father. \nJude 24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling or falling into sin\, and to present you unblemished [blameless and faultless] in the presence of His glory with triumphant joy and unspeakable delight. (AMP) \nNot only can you stand in the presence of God\, you can stand\, without fault\, without blemish\, and without blame! You are no longer on the usual suspects’ list. \nPsalm 103:12 You see\, God takes all our crimes—our seemingly inexhaustible sins—and removes them. As far as east is from the west\, He removes them from us. (TVT) \nJesus canceled the charges\, and He expunged the record. \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 don’t have to live waiting for the shoe to fall. I repent for the non-living I was doing\, waiting for my past to catch up with me and determine my future. There was no glory in that for You. You saved me and set my future. I thank You\, Father\, for placing my sins in the sea of forgetfulness. Thank You for washing me and making me whole. No matter where You take me in this life\, whatever I have done\, it is done\, and I can’t change it. What I know\, Father\, is I can celebrate because my past cannot take away what You’ve given me. Not even I can stop the plans You have for my life and going to the places You have ordained for me go. Nothing and no one can eliminate the peace You’ve given me. No matter what list I used to be on\, I have a new way of being known. I am saved\, set free and delivered! I feel Your strength and I’m thankful for Your love…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 6:7
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 6:7 With good will doing service\, as to the Lord\, and not to men. (KJV) \nAre you giving reasonable service? \nDo you measure the level and quality of your service by the environment you are in? For your job\, you might work some extra hours and not require payment. For your family\, you might give up what you want for the desire of the group. At your church\, you might take part\, and serve in some capacity\, on several ministries instead of one. \n1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore\, whether you eat or drink\, or whatever you do\, do all to the glory of God. (NKJV) \nAlways remember\, the work you do should be as unto the Lord\, not for the praise\, not for position\, not for a promotion\, nor status. When you reflect on the work you do\, you are not the one who measures the level and quality of your service; the Lord is. \nColossians 3:23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be]\, work from the soul [that is\, put in your very best effort]\, as [something done] for the Lord and not for men\, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. (AMP) \nThe Lord is with you everywhere\, which means you are always working for (representing) Him no matter where you are. As a servant of God\, you don’t do what makes sense to you. God compels you to do what He requires. \nActs 20:22 And now\, you see\, I am going to Jerusalem\, bound by the [Holy] Spirit and obligated and compelled by the [convictions of my own] spirit\, not knowing what will befall me there. (AMPC) \nBe willing to offer all of who you are and ever hope to be\, to serve without need for payment\, to sacrifice without knowing how it will affect you\, and bring glory to the Father because you are grateful for His mercy. \nRomans 12:1 Therefore I urge you\, brothers and sisters\, by the mercies of God\, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves\, set apart] as a living sacrifice\, holy and well-pleasing to God\, which is your rational (reasonable\, logical\, intelligent) act of worship (service). (AMP\, edited) \nIf you run after God with all of your heart\, you won’t miss an opportunity to serve\, now. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, every time I serve\, I want to work as if I am serving You. I’m grateful You have shown me what it means. I should live a sold-out life all day\, every day. I repent for those times when I do not. I am to be available for You. I am to do whatever You want me to do; whenever You want me to do it; with whomever You choose for me to work with; and however You want it done. I am to be open and willing for You to exercise Your sovereignty over my very existence. I repent for those times when none of those statements were true for me. Help me live my life remembering my service to You is to give myself to You\, entirely\, all that I am and all that You have yet to manifest in my life. I wait patiently for the opportunity for me to serve…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 10:22
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 10:22 We are free to approach him with absolute confidence\, fully persuaded in our hearts that nothing can any longer separate us from him. We are invited to draw near now! We are thoroughly cleansed\, inside and out\, with no trace of sin’s stains on our conscience or conduct. The sprinkled blood purges our inner thought-patterns; our bodies also are bathed in clean water. (Our behavior bears witness to this.) (TMB) \nAre you frustrating the grace?  \nSmall children often hold their heads down and won’t look at their parent when they have done something wrong. Sometimes they even try to hide what they have done or lie if asked about it. That is not who you are\, nor how you act as a believer. \nRomans 8:1-2 Now the decisive conclusion is this: in Christ\, every bit of condemning evidence against us is cancelled. 2 The law of the Spirit is the liberating force of life in Christ. This leaves me with no further obligation to the law of sin and death. Spirit has superseded the sin enslaved senses as the principle law of our lives. (TMB) \nWhen you sin\, you don’t have to hold your head down. There is no reason to. You cannot hide your sin from God because He sees and knows all things. Remember\, salvation allows you access to God\, even though you have sinned. You need only repent and ask for what you need. Just as the Lord passed over the Israelites because of the blood on the doorposts\, He does not see you as you see yourself. He sees you through the blood of Jesus\, pure! \nExodus 12:13 The blood shall be a sign for you on [the doorposts of] the houses where you live; when I see the blood I shall pass over you\, and no affliction shall happen to you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. (AMP) \n1 Corinthians 5:7b For indeed Christ\, our Passover\, was sacrificed for us. (NKJV) \nDon’t take advantage of God’s grace by continuing to live contrary to what you know He wants. You change how you live. \nGalatians 2:21 [Therefore\, I do not treat God’s gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God. For if justification (righteousness\, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law\, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. [His death was then wholly superfluous.] (AMPC) \nWith freedom comes responsibility. \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 covering me under the blood of Jesus. I repent for every time I treated Your grace as if I was entitled to it. Please continue to guide me and help me not to take the freedom Jesus bought for me lightly. You have taught me it dishonors You for me to sin\, and not come to You for forgiveness\, no matter what excuse I give myself not to. I hold You accountable to Your love and rest on the covering of Jesus’ blood\, even if I don’t think I am. Thank You for an enlightened revelation of my responsibility to You if I confess my love for You. You did not require me to do anything for my salvation. You willingly sent Your Son to die for me. The only thing I have to do is to be true to my love for You without hesitation. I will come boldly when I sin and repent because I do not want to grieve You…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 12:11
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 12:11 The process of education is not immediately appreciated; at the time it seems to be more pain than pleasure\, but it certainly yields the harvest of righteousness for the faith athlete. (TMB) \nIsn’t your education and training worth it? \nThe prima ballerina’s feet and toes bled as she learned to dance. The sculptor’s hands hurt and fingers blistered as he became more adept and increased his skills as an artist. The Olympic athlete sacrifices from early childhood and gives up what she wants to be great. \nHebrews 5:8 Although He was a Son [who had never been disobedient to the Father]\, He learned [active\, special] obedience through what He suffered. (AMP) \nJesus learned obedience through the things that He suffered\, and you will as well. You don’t want to end up like the sons of Sceva. \nActs 19:15-16 But the evil spirit retorted\, “I know and recognize and acknowledge Jesus\, and I know about Paul\, but as for you\, who are you?” 16 Then the man\, in whom was the evil spirit\, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them\, so that they ran out of that house [in terror\, stripped] naked and wounded. (AMP) \nIn order for you to accomplish the task the Father has assigned for you\, you must be effective in this war. You will go through what He deems necessary for your perfection. If the devil knows your name\, that is a by-product of the life you live. As you stay in the presence of The Father\, He will show you changes that need to be made in your life. These changes will enhance your character and your witness. He will show you qualities and character traits: \n\nYou don’t currently have.\nThat He needs to develop and mature.\nThat you need to allow Him to remove from your life.\n\nYou will go through circumstances and trials ordained to produce the result He is looking for. \n2 Peter 1:5-8 But to obtain these gifts\, you need more than faith; you must also work hard to be obedient\, and even that is not enough. For then you must learn to know God better and discover what he wants you to do. 6 Next\, learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly\, gladly letting God have his way with you. 7 This will make possible the next step\, which is for you to enjoy other people and to like them\, and finally you will grow to love them deeply. 8 The more you go on in this way\, the more you will grow strong spiritually and become fruitful and useful to our Lord Jesus Christ. (TLB\, edited) \nInstead of looking at the trials and tribulations as something that is painful that you want to go away\, look in a mirror and see Jesus. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, please forgive me for wanting to sidestep the training You have established for my perfection. I want to stand and say\, “I have fought the good fight\, I have finished the race\, I have kept the faith”. I want a crown of righteousness. Nothing else matters. You know what You ordained for me to be before the foundation of the world. You know what it will take for me to get there. You know what I will have to endure in order for the qualities required to be produced in my life. I submit myself to You. Tie me to the altar\, and I won’t; move while You are doing the work that needs to be done in me. Thank You for choosing me. Thank You for continuing to mold and train me. Thank You for using me…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
