SUMMARY:John 3:14
DESCRIPTION:1 John 3:14 we have relocated from a system of dead works into the dynamic of authentic life in the way we love the family. Love is life; not to love is death. (TMB) \nDo you still have some dying to do? \nIn this warfare\, how you react in any situation is an indicator of your relationship with Christ. A sign of your salvation is our love for God\, and for your fellow man. If you cannot show love\, then you are not alive in Christ; you still have some flesh to crucify. How can you say you love God whom you have not seen and not love your fellow man whom you see every day? It’s a significant question.  \n1 John 4:20-21 If anyone says\, “I love God\,” and hates (works against) his brother or sister he is a liar; for the one who does not love his sister or brother whom he has seen\, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him\, that the one who loves God should also [unselfishly] demonstrate love to others and seek the best for them. (AMP\, edited) \nThere are some questions you can ask yourself to see if you have or still need to crucify your flesh: \n\nAm I praying sincerely and consistently? \n\nNot those quick prayers in the morning\, over your food and when you are going to work. Are you praying prayers of submission and acknowledgement of God’s control and will over your life? \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) \n\nAm I reading and studying the word every day? \n\nYou cannot only read the Bible like you would a novel if you want to be transformed. Reading begins the process. However\, you have to study if you want to apply the scripture to your life. \n2 Timothy 2:15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial)\, a workman who has no cause to be ashamed\, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth. (AMPC) \n\nAm I living a lifestyle of repentance? \n\nYes\, God does know your heart and He will forgive you. However\, telling Him about your sins and asking for forgiveness is for you. It is not a onetime thing; it is what you do every time you sin. You confess\, not only to be forgiven; you confess because it will release the pain you feel as you admit to the Father you have done wrong.  \nPsalms 51:3-4 For I’m so ashamed. I feel such pain and anguish within me. I can’t get away from the sting of my sin against you\, Lord! Everything I did\, I did right in front of you\, for you saw it all. Against you\, and you above all\, have I sinned. Everything you say to me is infallibly true and your judgment conquers me. (TPT) \n\nAm I including God in everything? \n\nDo you have some things you ask God about and some that you decide to handle on your own? How is that working for you? \nProverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do\, and he will show you which path to take. (NLT) \n\nAm I choosing God every day and in every circumstance? \n\nDeuteronomy 30: 15-16 “See\, I have set before you today life and good\, death and evil\, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God\, to walk in His ways\, and to keep His commandments\, His statutes\, and His judgments\, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.” (NKJV) \n\nAm I doing what the word says or am I just reading it?\n\nJames 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts]\, and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning]\, deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth]. (AMP) \n\nAm I consistent or am I with Him only when things are going the way I want them to?\n\n1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore\, my beloved brothers and sisters\, be steadfast\, immovable\, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed]\, being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose]. (AMP) \nAre still weighing your love choices based on what you want and what may prove beneficial to you and your plans? Your plan is not foolproof. You are not omniscient. If you are choosing you\, there is still more dying for you to do. There are times you give yourself reasons for choosing what you want. Whatever those reasons are\, they are not valid in Christ. Your actions may not cause you to pause; however\, they do not show the love of God. In addition\, they reflect poorly on The One you profess to serve. Whatever happens\, God’s wishes for you do not change. It’s easy to love\, give\, and serve when things are going the way you think they should. When things are going to the left and you do not respond with love; you still have some dying to do. \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 that Your love surpasses my understanding. I repent for pretending like I don’t understand the type of love and life You require\, because I do. Please forgive me. You taught me by allowing the death of Your Son for me. Understanding it and walking in it are two different things. Show me what stands in my way. Expose what is in my heart that keeps me from being an example of You. I want to live like You require; not just when things are going how I think they should go. I want the world to see You and not me when I am being tested. I want to love the ones who mistreat me; who I have mistakenly called unlovely; and who act like they don’t want love. I want to live a life of love that mirrors the love You give me… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 2:5
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 2:5 This is how Grace rescued us: sin left us dead towards God\, like spiritual corpses; yet in that state of deadness and indifference\, God co-quickened us together with Christ. Sin proved how dead we were (the law confirmed it!) Grace reveals how alive we are now (the gospel announces it!) Before anyone but God believed it\, He made us alive together with Him and raised us up together with Him. (TMB) \nDo you still think it’s about work you can do? \nThe enemy tries to convince you there is a certain amount of work you must do in order for God to love you. Look at Ephesians 2:8-9\, so settle your heart and mind. God’s love for you has everything to do with who He is. While you were dead in trespasses and sin\, you weren’t thinking about God. However\, because of His infinite grace and love\, He joined you together with Him. You accepted His love. Now you are saved!  \nEphesians 2:8a 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.  \nThe reality is\, God’s love for you has nothing to do with what you may do or what you might have done\, bad or good. Defeat the enemy when he tries to remind you of your past by telling him about your future. \nEphesians 2:8b And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort]\, but it is the [undeserved\, gracious] gift of God;  \nIt’s not about you\, never was\, never will be. Don’t frustrate yourself and the grace of God by working to accomplish what God has already given you. Serve God out of your love for what He has done\, not out of obligation. It will help you stay in check when you compare what you do with what someone else is not doing or does not do. \nEphesians 2:8-9  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]. (TPT) \nDon’t allow the enemy to convince you of anything different. You will find one of the greatest points of this warfare in the truth of God’s love. If the enemy can make you believe you have to earn salvation or work to keep it; he will defeat you before you have begun. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nMy Lord and Father\, oh\, how excellent is Your grace and Your mercy towards me! I was going the way I wanted to go and doing the things I wanted to do. Your love rescued me and brought me into Your kingdom. I am sorry for thinking I was a “good” person\, and that was enough. I also repent for thinking there is some amount of good I can continue to do that will hold my place in heaven. Please forgive me and continually remind me there is no amount of good I think I have done; I can do right now; or can ever do or think of doing that could make me deserve Your love. I know I can’t repay You. The thing I can do is accept what You did; believe in Your grace; testify of Your truth; and never forget to say thank You\, always… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:John 4:4
DESCRIPTION:1 John 4:4 My darling children\, you have nothing to fear; do not doubt for a moment the legitimacy of your son ship! You originate in God and have already conquered the worldly religious system because of the unveiling of Christ in you! His living presence in you is far superior to the futile anti-Christ mindsets present in the world! (TMB) \nAre you being tormented by fear? \nFear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger\, evil\, pain\, etc. Fear exists whether the threat is real or imagined. It is one of the major devices the enemy uses in this war. He uses: \n\nFear of the unknown.\n\nSatan wants your focus to be on your future fears rather than on your present blessings. When your   focus is on the future and what may or may not happen\, your worries and fears about what tomorrow may bring\, etc. You are not living in the present and you miss all that God wants to teach you today. \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\nFear of the known. \n\nWhen you focus on things that have happened and what the outcome “may” be\, you forget to praise God for the things He’s doing in that moment. The devil hates it when you praise God\, especially in times of trouble. Why wouldn’t he do everything he can to keep your focus on fear and worry rather than on thanksgiving and praise? \nPsalm 42:5 So then\, my soul\, why would you be depressed? Why would you sink into despair? Just keep hoping and waiting on God\, your Savior. For no matter what\, I will still sing with praise\, for you are my saving grace! (TPT) \n\nFear of losing control.\n\nSatan tricks you into believing that worrying gives you some control over your circumstances. The truth is\, you are not and will never be in control. You may tell yourself you are\, and sometimes it may feel as if you have control over your circumstances. However\, that’s not the truth. You don’t even have control over your breath. God is the only One in control and the only One who will ever be. \nJob 34:13-15 From the very beginning\, God has been in control of all the world. 14 If God took back the breath     that he breathed into us\, 15 we humans would die and return to the soil. (CEV) \n\nFear you’re not “really” saved. \n\nSalvation is not a feeling; it is a fact. IF you accepted Christ Jesus into your heart\, God saved you. There may be times when you don’t do\, think\, and say the things you feel a “saved person” would. However\, your salvation is not based on that. As you allow the Lord to transform you\, your behavior will change.  \nJohn 17:3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive\, recognize\, become acquainted with\, and understand) You\, the only true and real God\, and [likewise] to know Him\, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One\, the Messiah)\, Whom You have sent. (AMPC) \n\nFear that one mistake can cost you everything. \n\nWhen you don’t understand the finished work of salvation\, you think it comes and goes\, depending on what you do or what you do not do. God is not like human beings. He did not save you because of who you are. He saved you because of who He is. He saved you knowing what you did\, what you are doing and what you will do. Salvation is forever because He said it is. There is nothing you can do to take God’s love away.  \nRomans 8:33-34 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is\, Who puts you in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God\, Who acquits us?] 34 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah)\, Who died\, or rather Who was raised from the dead\, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us? (AMPC) \nYou have to KNOW\, because you are a child of God; He is in you. His power is available to you\, not because of anything you’ve done; it’s because of what Jesus did on the cross for you. Fear is a feeling\, your salvation is not. And though the enemy tries to trick you with fear; God is greater.  \nPsalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death\, I fear no evil\, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide]\, they comfort and console me. (AMP) \nThe defense against fear is faith. Faith is what Jesus demonstrated to you and what He died for you to have. You win the victory because of your faith. \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 repent for allowing fear to stop me from moving forward. I thank You for showing me where the spirit of fear is rooted. Thank You for giving me power\, love and a sound mind. Your perfect love gets rid of any fear I may have if I allow it to. I know I belong to You and there is nothing the enemy can threaten me with that is more powerful than Your love and I thank You. Help me show I know it\, walk like I believe it\, and speak the truth of it over my life… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:James 4:7
DESCRIPTION:James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil\, and he will flee from you. (KJV) \nAre you submitted to God? \nYou are in a war and the battlefield is in your mind. Your defense comes from you totally giving yourself over to the power and the authority of God the Father. There is no such thing as partial submission.  \nRevelation 3:15-16 I know your works. You are neither cold with apathy nor hot with passion. It would be better if you were one or the other\, but you are neither. 16 So because you are lukewarm\, neither cold nor hot\, I will vomit you out of My mouth. (TVT) \nAs you look at James 4:7-10\, you will find guidance and direction to determine if you are submitting yourself to God. You will also find out how to submit if you are not. There are specific characteristics of a submitted life.   \n\n You don’t govern yourself.\n\nJames 4:7a So submit to [the authority of] God. (AMP) \nStrong’s definition for submit: NT:5293 hupotasso (hoop-ot-as’-so). It means to be under obedience (obedient)\, put under\, subdue unto\, be/make subject to/unto\, be/put in subjection (to\, under)\, submit one’s self unto. This word means you have voluntarily become someone’s slave. You have given them permission to dictate your will. There is not pride left in you\, only the desire to obey God’s will. \n\n You resist the devil\, and the devil runs away.\n\nJames 4:7b Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. (AMP) \nStrong’s definition for resist: NT:436 anthistemi (anth-is’-tay-mee). It means to stand against\, i.e.\, oppose\, resist\, withstand. Our problem too often is that we are double minded\, clinging both to our selfish desires and a desire to please God. We must clearly take a stand against the devil and let go of the desire that gives him power over us. He dangled before Jesus a partnership with him to accomplish God’s divine purpose. I am sure He wanted to eat because He was hungry. He knew He was both God and man; there was no need to prove it. Gaining recognition as a spiritual leader and ruler was not the plan of God for Jesus. These things would automatically flow out of the completion of His task. Jesus had a different path and method for achieving His goal. The devil takes honest and reasonable desires and twists them. He plays on our desires (James 1:14-15) and tries to convince us that using shortcuts is better than doing it God’s way. You resist the devil by not yielding to his temptations\, saying “no” to him and “yes” to God. If you do\, he will flee from you. \n\n You love with a purified heart.\n\nJames 4:8b Wash your hands\, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts\, you double-minded [people]. (AMP) \nStrong’s definition for wash:  NT:2511 katharizo (kath-ar-id’-zo); from NT:2513; to cleanse (literally or figuratively). Strong’s definition for purify: NT:48 hagnizo (hag-nid’-zo); from NT:53; to make clean\, i.e. (figuratively) sanctify (ceremonially or morally)\, purify (self). James writes\, “wash your hands.” What does this mean? He also says\, “purify our hearts”. He distinguished between washing and purifying. You can wash your hands; however\, only God can purify your heart. You must do your part. Washing your hands is another way of saying\, “I will stop doing wrong”. “Purify your hearts\, you double-minded\,” is the second part of this directive. You must stop doing wrong (wash our hands)\, and then turn your will through repentance and God will (purify your heart). The double-mindedness must go; and it will if you truly repent. When you repent\, your will is no longer divided. Your faith and love for God confirms it. \nOften you are more sorry you got caught than you are for what you did. The sorrow should come from the realization that your heart was so hard you could commit this affront to God. It is not only morally wrong; it is also a personal rebellion against The One who loves you. The appropriate response is grief. It is more than acknowledging your sin; it is owning your responsibility for it. \n\n You are humble in your thoughts\, words\, and deeds.\n\nJames 4:10 Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord\, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up\, He will give you purpose]. (AMP) \nStrong’s definition for humble: NT:5013 tapeinoo (tap-i-no’-o); from NT:5011. It means  to depress; figuratively\, to humiliate (in condition or heart)\, to abase and bring yourself low. In order to be submitted to God\, you must be humble. James discusses the things that keep you from being submitted like: selfishness\, roots of pride\, having an independent spirit\, self-indulgence\, placing yourself purposefully in situations to be tempted with sin\, acting as if you know what’s good for you better than God\, etc.  \nIf you are going to live a submitted life\, you must live a lifestyle of evaluating yourself to find any rebellion (which is sin)\, acknowledge it (”confession”)\, and turn away from it (”repentance”). You can then continuously come before God as His servant. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, help me remain in the place I am in right now\, in Your presence. I repent and ask You to forgive me for allowing distraction to pull my focus. Please help me focus my thoughts on Your love for me and the fact that Jesus died for me. You have taught me if I refuse to focus on what the enemy has set before me or the current issues in my life\, the enemy will flee. It is my job to remove the platform the devil is standing on. I know I set up that platform when I remove You from the center of my life. I have to keep my mind on You. Your word tells me if I do\, You will keep me in perfect peace\, and the enemy cannot torment me. You have shown me what I need to do to keep my mind on You. I repent for not always obeying Your instruction. Even now\, I recognize when I spend all of my time thinking and talking about my issues and my problems; I am being selfish and the time that I spent was unproductive. However\, when I submit all of who I am to You\, talk to You\, and focus on You\, I am engulfed in Your presence. I feel peace resting on me like a blanket and I thank You for it. You speak to me and You always answer my prayers. Sometimes You give me the answers to my issues. Sometimes You show me that the issue is me. However\, You always guide me to a place of peace. To live in this place is my desire… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Galatians 1:4
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 1:4 Grace and peace have their reference in the fact that Jesus gave himself as the scapegoat for our sins and plucked us out from the evil of this present religious age that encroached on us. This was exactly what the Father had planned in His love for mankind. (TMB) \nAre you walking in the liberty Christ died for? \nThis warfare requires you to know Jesus died for your sins. Jesus died because it was the will of God\, your Father. His death made it possible for you to be delivered from all the evil the world offers. Now walk in grace and peace. You are aware when you disobey God; you should be. However\, it is important not to allow every time you miss the mark to be the only thing you think about. If you become overly sin-conscious\, your thoughts will condemn you because you are continually passing judgement on yourself.   \nRomans 8:1-2 Therefore\, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus\, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh\, but after the dictates of the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. (AMPC) \nAlso\, constantly focusing on your wrongs means you believe satan’s activity in your life is more effective than what Jesus did on the cross. This is not true! Live free from condemnation\, yours and anyone else’s.  \n\nBy faith\, Jesus’ victory on the cross freed you from the penalty of sin.\n\nJohn 8:34\, 36 “I speak eternal truth\,” Jesus said. “When you sin you are not free. You’ve become a slave in bondage to your sin. 36 So if the Son sets you free from sin\, then become a true son and be unquestionably free! (TPT) \n\nJesus’ victory on the cross freed you from the power of sin in your life.\n\nRomans 6:14 For sin shall have no power over you\, inasmuch as ye are not under the law\, but under grace. (WNT) \n\nJesus’ victory on the cross freed you from the law. The law’s job is to expose sin\, not forgive it.\n\nRomans 3:20-22 For no person will be justified [freed of guilt and declared righteous] in His sight by [trying to do] the works of the Law. For through the Law we become conscious of sin [and the recognition of sin directs us toward repentance\, but provides no remedy for sin]. (AMP) \n\nJesus’ victory on the cross freed you to live your life as you choose.\n\n1 Corinthians 6:12 It’s true that our freedom allows us to do anything\, but that doesn’t mean that everything we do is good for us. I’m free to do as I choose\, but I choose to never be enslaved to anything. (TPT) \nWalk in the liberty Jesus died for. This does not mean you should make provision for your flesh and allow sin to abound. It does not mean that your liberty tramples your call to love as Jesus loved. It means you are free to live\, even if you make mistakes. Accepting this truth should bring you a greater sense of liberty. \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 my freedom. I don’t have to live a life that’s tormented by my past\, before You saved me. I don’t have to be distressed by my present mistakes. Thank You for reminding me of the victory Jesus bought with His death and through His resurrection. I can walk free from condemnation. Though I know sin exists in my life\, help me not to focus on it all the time. I also don’t want to get so callous that sinning won’t bother me. I know it is a balance that only You and the work of the Holy Spirit can make sure I keep. Please help me walk in true repentance when I sin\, knowing You forgive me\, and I am free to move forward in You. I can stand in the name of Jesus and hold my head high… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 2:11
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. (KJV) \nDo you know how the enemy fights you? \nYou need to know that there is a target on your back. You also have to recognize that are signs when the devil will be most effective against you.  \n1 Peter 5:8 Be sober\, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil\, as a roaring lion\, walketh about\, seeking whom he may devour: (KJV) \nBe well balanced and always alert. (TPT) \nMost importantly\, be disciplined and stay on guard. (TVT) \nThe greatest strategy in war is to know your enemy. The enemy knows you and is therefore extremely effective in his plan to kill\, steal\, and destroy.  \nJohn 10:10a The thief does not come except to steal\, and to kill\, and to destroy. (NKJV) \nHe has devised triggers. He knows how you respond to certain situations. He knows what is tempting for you and what is not. Do your due diligence; know who he is as well. Make it a point to understand how he fights\, the strategies he uses\, and the traps he sets for you. When you take a closer look at John 10:10\, you can see how the enemy fights. It gives the mission of the enemy.  \n\nHe comes to steal. \n\nThe Greek word is klepto (pronounced klep-to).  \nThis is where the word kleptomaniac has its origin. The Greeks understood kleptomania as you would understand a New Your City pickpocket. They steal from you without you knowing it until it is too late. That is how the devil steals from you. He does it two ways: \n\nThrough what you think about yourself. \n\nHe plants negative thoughts to steal your joy\, steal your peace\, and weaken your faith. He is strategic and so crafty in his thievery that you don’t realize that he has taken what God has said to you about you until it is gone. You blame anyone and everyone else for your problems when really the devil has stolen from you. \n\nThrough what you believe about God. \n\nThe devil treats you like he treated Eve in the garden. The strategy is\, he uses your lack of Bible knowledge against you. He will ask you questions you can’t answer if you don’t have the word of God in you. When the Bible is not your basis\, he can create a wrong belief system. He is the father of lies. He feeds you information that sounds true but leads you away from the Lord. When you believe what he says and act on it\, his lies become your reality. Then he steals your victories.   \n2 Peter 2:1-2 Just as false prophets rose up in the past among God’s people\, false teachers will rise up in the future among you. They will slip in with their destructive opinions\, denying the very Master who bought their freedom and dooming themselves to destruction swiftly\, 2 but not before they attract others by their unbridled and immoral behavior. Because of them and their ways\, others will criticize and condemn the path of truth we walk as seedy and disreputable. (TVT) \n\nHe comes to Kill. \n\nThe Greek word is thuo (pronounced thoo-o). \nThis word kill is not murder or taking a life. The Greek definition means to sacrifice or surrender what is precious to you\, i.e.\, the promises of God. When the devil can’t steal them\, he will convince you to let go of them. He brings stress\, pressure\, frustration\, delay. A hope delayed makes the heart grieve (Proverbs 13:12) and you give up.  \n2 Corinthians 4:8-11 Though we experience every kind of pressure\, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do\, but quitting is not an option. 9 We are persecuted by others\, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down\, but not out. 10 We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity. 11 We consider living to mean that we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake so that the life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity. (TPT) \n\nHe comes to Destroy.  \n\nThe Greek word is apollumi (pronounced ap-ol’-loo-mee). \nIt means to destroy\, perish\, or lose completely. What the devil does in this area is convince you what you thought was important is no longer attractive\, important\, or useful anymore. What do you do with things that have no longer have any worth? You lose interest in them\, and you throw them away\, destroy them and/or you let them go.  \nGenesis 25:32-33 And Esau said\, “Look\, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?” 33 Then Jacob said\, “Swear to me as of this day.” So he swore to him\, and sold his birthright to Jacob. (NKJV) \nWhen you understand the devil and his tactics\, you will not fall prey as often. Also\, when/if you fall prey\, you can make his traps less effective in your life. He has a plan for your demise. Do you have a plan for your success? Jesus does.  \nJohn 10:10b I have come that they may have life\, and that they may have it more abundantly. (NKJV) \nIt’s really up to you. If you don’t plan to succeed; by default\, you plan to fail. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, everything I need to know about the enemy is in Your word. You have given me the tools I need to be effective in this war. I repent for not seeking You to find what I needed to do. I also repent for not always doing what I needed to do when You told me. Because of my slothfulness\, the enemy has gained inroads into my life many times. I have godly sorrow\, because I allowed myself to be defeated. I am also sorry because I could have gotten the victory and therefore would not have to feel this way. Because of  what You have taught me\, now I am fortifying myself every day. What used to work for the devil does not work anymore. The level of devastation he can inflict has diminished and is continuing to diminish. Thank You for the knowledge I need to be victorious and the wisdom to use it. Thank You for new victories… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 10:13
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 10:13 Your situation is not unique! Every human life faces contradictions! Here’s the good news: God believes in your freedom! He has made it possible for you to triumph in every situation that you will ever encounter! (TMB) \nDo you realize you have the victory? \nAre there times when you feel as if you are alone in your situation? Do you tell yourself\, “No one else is going through what I’m going through”? You may actually believe it; however\, it isn’t true. The enemy uses the same tactics on everyone. \n1 Corinthians 10:13 No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it. (MSG) \nWith every attack\, he customizes his approach to be more destructive in your life. He has learned what to do to make you feel overwhelmed. It is simply a part of the war. Learn what God has already done for you to have victory. Then you will lessen and even counteract his attacks. You can also get to the place where you wills stop them.  \n\nGod delivered you from the devil.\n\nColossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. (NKJV) \n\nGod gave you authority over every evil spirit and demon.\n\nLuke 10:19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions\, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. (AMPC) \n\nJesus destroyed the works of the devil.\n\n1 John 3:8 He who sins is of the devil\, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested\, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (NKJV) \n\nGod has released you from fear\n\n2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear\, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV) \nTake comfort and walk in confidence because you know the Lord God has made a way for you to be victorious in every situation you will ever encounter.  \n2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ\, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. (NKJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nI thank You\, Father\, for victory in my life. At various times in my life\, I don’t feel victorious\, and I repent because I know Your word says I am. Continue to remind me that my walk with You is not about what I feel; it is about who You are and what You have done. I am not experiencing anything new. Others have gone through the same and You have brought them out. You have also given me a way of escape. Help me stand and walk triumphantly. Show me I can take it. I can bear my trials because of the blood of Jesus. You have made me an overcomer. Right now\, I stand in the victory You bought for me\, and I thank You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 12:45
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 12:45 Then goeth he\, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself\, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. (KJV) \nAre you a prisoner of war? \nAnother part of the warfare you are in deals with what you do after God delivers you. Deliverance creates a void or an empty space within you. That void used to be filled by a habit\, rehearsing your issues and problems\, and /or time spent thinking about or doing something that pulled you away from God. Since God has delivered you\, you must fill the void with the word of God\, with prayer\, with praise\, and with worship. You don’t want to leave it open for the enemy to return and bring with him more than God delivered you from.  \nLuke 11:24-26 “When a corrupting spirit is expelled from someone\, it drifts along through the desert looking for an oasis\, some unsuspecting soul it can bedevil. When it doesn’t find anyone\, it says\, ‘I’ll go back to my old haunt.’ On return\, it finds the person swept and dusted\, but vacant. It then runs out and rounds up seven other spirits dirtier than itself and they all move in\, whooping it up. That person ends up far worse than if he’d never gotten cleaned up in the first place.” (MSG) \nThe enemy does not want you to have peace. He wants you in hell with him\, both now and when you are no longer present in the body.  \nGalatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free\, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (NKJV) \nThe devil is determined to kill your peace\, steal your joy and destroy your life\, keeping you in his prison of despair. If you don’t fill that space\, he will hold you captive again. There are things you need to do to keep from being a prisoner of war. Here are just a few; ask the Lord to show you more: \n\nMake sure you are thinking about the right things.\n\nPhilippians 4:8 Finally\, believers\, whatever is true\, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect\, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word\, whatever is pure and wholesome\, whatever is lovely and brings peace\, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence\, if there is anything worthy of praise\, think continually on these things [center your mind on them\, and implant them in your heart]. (AMP) \n\nBe filled and refilled continually with the Holy Spirit. \n\nActs 4:31 And when they had prayed\, the place where they were meeting together was shaken [a sign of God’s presence]; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness and courage. (AMP) \n\nArm yourself against the enemy.\n\nEphesians 6:11 Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier]\, so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. (AMP) \n\nRenew your mind daily through Bible study and meditation.\n\nJoshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth\, but you shall meditate on it day and night\, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous\, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. (AMPC) \n\nPray in the Spirit. \n\nRomans 8:26-27 And in a similar way\, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example\, at times we don’t even know how to pray\, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf\, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words. 27 God\, the searcher of the heart\, knows fully our longings\, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit\, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us\, his holy ones\, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny. (TPT) \n\nCultivate right relationships. \n\nJames 4:4 You have become spiritual adulterers who are having an affair\, an unholy relationship with the world. Don’t you know that flirting with the world’s values places you at odds with God? Whoever chooses to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy! (TPT) \n\nStay humble. \n\nJames 4:6 You may think that the situation is hopeless\, but God gives us more grace when we turn away from our own interests. That’s why Scripture says\, God opposes the proud\, but He pours out grace on the humble. (TVT) \n\nUse your authority in Jesus Christ. \n\nMatthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid\, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven\, and whatever you loose [permit\, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.” (AMP) \nYou are the prize of this warfare. Don’t let the devil hold you prisoner. \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 delivering me. I repent for wallowing in my stuff and agreeing with the enemy to remain his captive for as long as I did. I repent for not filling the void deliverance created with more of You. Because of that\, I had to be delivered from the same thing over and over. Every day\, I am looking for You to fill me with more and more of You. I do not want to fall prey to the same thing You delivered me from anymore. I don’t want worse things to war against me. Your word tells me that is exactly what will happen if I don’t spend time with You. Whenever You have to deliver me\, please help me fill that space with worship\, praise\, study\, prayer\, and what You initially ordained for me. Continue to draw me closer to You. Help me fine tune my ears and I will hear You speaking to me in every aspect of my life. I desire to be a representative of Your glory and an example of Your power… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 1:3
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 1:3 Let’s celebrate God! He lavished every blessing heaven has upon us in Christ! (TMB) \nAre you taking the time to celebrate? \nWhen you think about problems you face\, are there times when you feel the devil has won? Could it be the reason you feel “defeat” in warfare is because you forgot to give God praise? God has already given you every blessing you could ever want\, think about\, or need. All you need to do is celebrate\, praise\, and worship.  \nPsalm 34:1-4 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof\, and be glad. 3 O magnify the Lord with me\, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the Lord\, and he heard me\, and delivered me from all my fears. (KJV) \nDo you understand that your war clothes are your garments of praise (Isaiah 61:3)? You are doing battle every time you celebrate the lord.  \nWhen you acknowledge Him\, you are celebrating His wisdom and honoring His plan. \n Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord completely\, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you\, and he will lead you in every decision you make.6 Become intimate with him in whatever you do\, and he will lead you wherever you go. (TPT) \nWhen you tell others about Him\, you are celebrating Who He is and What He has done for you. \nMark 16:15 And he said to them\, “As you go into all the world\, preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race! (TPT) \nWhen you study His word and apply it to your life\, you are celebrating Him. \n 2 Timothy 2:15 Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved\, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed\, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. (AMP) \nOne of the greatest ways you can celebrate the Lord is to show gratitude.  \n Psalm 95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! (AMPC) \nWhen things are not going well\, you celebrate the Lord by remembering what He has done for you. \n Psalm 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! (AMPC) \nVisualize Heaven. Think about what His Son has prepared for us. This is indeed a cause to celebrate! In the midst of your praise and your worship\, the problem doesn’t go away; you gain a new perspective. It doesn’t seem to be as great as it was. You can shout hallelujah for the victory because you know God has already worked it out! \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, You are awesome! You are worthy of all praise. You are the great I AM. You are Jehovah Shammah. Before I got here\, You were in this place. You knew what I would experience. You kept me. I repent for not celebrating You no matter what is going on. I need to celebrate because You continue to keep me. All I need to do is give You praise and the atmosphere changes. I cannot thank You enough. I cannot worship You for too long. I cannot meditate on all You are and all You have done without weeping. God\, I give You honor; I give You glory; and I give You praise. I thank You!…  \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Colossians 1:13
DESCRIPTION:Colossians 1:13 He rescued us from the dominion of darkness and relocated us into the kingdom where the love of His son rules. (TMB) \nAre you fighting alone? \nThe enemy does not want you to walk in God’s truth.  \n2 Corinthians 4:4 For their minds have been blinded by the god of this age\, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the gospel of the glory of Christ\, who is the divine image of God. (TPT) \nThough the devil’s plan was to hide the truth from you\, sin no longer has dominion over you. God translated you.  \nColossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness\, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (KJV) \nGod changed you from your old form\, functionality\, and state of being into His design for you. He changed you from who you were to who you are now. What you do now is different from what you did before God transformed you. He changed what you used to think about to what you think about now.  \n2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore\, if anyone is in Christ\, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold\, all things have become new. (NKJV) \nThough you are in this world; you are not of this world. Because of this truth\, which the devil tried to keep from you: \n\nYou will always be victorious.\n\n2 Corinthians 2:14  Yet I am so thankful to God\, who always marches us to victory under the banner of the Anointed One; and through us He spreads the beautiful fragrance of His knowledge to every corner of the earth. (TVT) \n\nYou don’t have to worry about the weapons being used against you.\n\nIsaiah 54:17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper\, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace\, righteousness\, security\, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification]\, says the Lord. (AMPC) \nYou are never alone. \nRomans 8:38-39 So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death\, life’s troubles\, fallen angels\, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love\, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus\, the Anointed One! (TPT) \nWhen you understand and accept these truths; you gain more victories in this warfare. The love of Jesus Christ engulfs and protects you. You don’t fight alone. You will be victorious. \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 Your Son Jesus Christ. Thank You for moving me from a place of darkness where no victory is\, to a place where Your love covers a multitude of my faults\, gives me strength and reigns Lord over all. I repent for acting like I was fighting alone. I know I only have to believe You and trust in Your word\, and I will not make that mistake again. The victory is already won\, and I give You glory for it… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 4:4
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 4:4 The survival and self-improvement programs of the religious systems of this world veil the minds of unbelievers; exploiting their ignorance about their true origin and their redeemed innocence. The veil of unbelief obstructs a person’s view and keeps one from seeing what the light of the gospel so clearly reveals: the glory of God is the image and likeness of our Maker redeemed in human form; this is what the gospel of Christ is all about. (TMB) \nAre you willing to allow God to change you? \nOne of the devil’s tricks is to convince you that the “religious” infrastructure that is pleasing to the eye and to the flesh is enough for you. His goal is to make you believe you can survive and improve yourself\, by yourself. However\, you can’t fix yourself.  \nRomans 7:15 For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled\, bewildered]. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish\, but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns]. (AMPC) \nWhat joy the enemy has dragging you from church to church\, down the rabbit hole and up the mountain. He encourages you to purchase this and that self-help book\, to attend various inspirational seminars\, and motivational workshops\, convincing you that the help you need is just beyond the next purchase. You are trying to deal with who you are and make yourself better; when you are not sure who you are. Go to God for the solution to what you see (or someone told you was) as a problem. It may not be a problem at all.  \nRomans 12:2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you\, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life\, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (TPT) \nGod skillfully designed and crafted you to produce a particular personality who does things a particular way. Who is better able to fix the creation you altered? You\, or The One Who created you? Allow God to make sure you work according to His plan. \nEphesians 2:10 For we are the product of His hand\, heaven’s poetry etched on lives\, created in the Anointed\, Jesus\, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago. (TVT) \nWrong choices\, broken promises\, the pains of life\, and so many other circumstances and situations stain the heart. Allow the Lord to clean yours up.  \nPsalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart\, O God\, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. (NKJV) \nYou don’t have to think you know what is going on. There is no need to guess. You can get right to the matter if you ask the Lord to show you.   \nPsalm 139:23-24 God\, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. 24 See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on\, and lead me back to your glorious\, everlasting way—the path that brings me back to you. (TPT) \nThough you may have done some damage with bad choices\, stay in the presence of God. He will buff out the kinks and the scars you created when you went your own way. In doing so\, He maximizes your potential. It is not something you can do on your own.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I ask You to forgive me for seeking everyone for solutions and going everywhere for answers and not coming directly to You. You are my creator. You know exactly who I am. Only You can fix what I’ve messed up and set me back on the path to becoming who You created me to be. I submit myself to You. Please repair the damage that I have done. I thank You in advance for all You will do… \n\nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Acts 26:18
DESCRIPTION:Acts 26:18 To open their eyes\, and to turn them from darkness to light\, and from the power of Satan unto God\, that they may receive forgiveness of sins\, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (KJV) \nAre you willing to repent? \nAs you are coming to an understanding of what spiritual warfare actually is; the Lord God is opening your eyes. Repentance is a revelation\, and it changed your life when the Lord saved you. If you are not saved\, there is no better time than right now.  \nYou can stop reading and go to the box at the bottom of page 5. Follow the instructions and return to this page; Saved!!! \nIf you returned\, saved\, congratulations. Please know\, repentance is not just a onetime thing\, it is an all the time thing. Repentance makes you rethink your choices. What used to be okay will not be okay anymore. God\, through His infinite wisdom and unfailing mercy\, will allow you to see what you thought was light was actually darkness. His forgiveness is wonderful and is available for you and to you because of His love.  \n1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins\, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises]\, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing\, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. (AMP) \nConfession and repentance break the strongholds the enemy created because of past activities. Then the Father will forgive you of your sins. However\, He does not stop there. He will also cleanse and purifying you from the pollution of all the sins you have committed (unrighteousness). His boundless love provides even more blessing and benefits of repentance. \n\nGod will refresh you.\n\nActs 3:19 So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking\, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life]\, so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out\, completely erased]\, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day]. (AMP) \n\nYou will draw closer to your Father in Heaven\, Jesus Christ\, and the Holy Spirit.\n\nZechariah 1:3a Therefore say to them [the Jews of this day]\, Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return to Me\, says the Lord of hosts\, and I will return to you. (AMPC) \n\nYou won’t just talk the talk; you will walk the walk. \n\nMatthew 3:8 So produce fruit that is consistent with repentance [demonstrating new behavior that proves a change of heart\, and a conscious decision to turn away from sin]. (AMP) \n\nYou will prosper.\n\nProverbs 28:13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper\, But whoever confesses and turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy. (AMP) \nWhen you think about what repentance has done for you\, you can open the eyes of others. It is just like any other good thing that happens to you. You want to share it. You will want to be a part of someone else’s breakthrough. If you don’t repent\, you won’t be able to share the blessings.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nHeavenly Father\, I am overwhelmed and excited because of Your love for me. You care enough to give me revelation on the continual need for repentance. In doing so\, You brought me out of darkness into Your light. Right now\, I repent for the time I could have been living for You in a deeper way if repentance was a way of life. You love me enough to forgive me for my ignorance and disobedience and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I am extremely grateful for the ability to repent; it puts me back in right standing with You. My faith is increasing with each day that passes\, with each wrong I confess\, and with each time You forgive me. Thank You!…  \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Job 2:2
DESCRIPTION:Job 2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan\, whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD\, and said\, From going to and fro in the earth\, and from walking up and down in it. (KJV) \nDo you realize the enemy is stalking you? \nMake no mistake about it\, the enemy knows who you are. He understands\, as he watches you\, how you normally respond to stress and difficult situations. He takes note of the things you usually do to manage your life\, handle situations\, deal with problems\, etc. Because his job is to steal\, kill and destroy\, he is looking for the opportunity to catch you unaware.  \n1 Peter 5:8 Be well balanced (temperate\, sober of mind)\, be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours\, the devil\, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger]\, seeking someone to seize upon and devour. (AMPC) \nThere is a reason Peter compared the devil to a lion. Not only is the devil the great deceiver; he is also a skilled\, confident\, and experienced hunter. Like the lion\, he patiently stalks his prey\, invisible to them. He works best “at night”. By night\, I mean when you are doing things you think no one sees. The devil possesses other lion-like attributes\, he: \n\nTries to pick you off when you are weak and/or sick.\n\nMatthew 4:2-3 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights\, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him\, he said\, “If You are the Son of God\, command that these stones become bread.” (NKJV) \n\nSets traps to catch you when you have grown weary. \n\nIsaiah 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary\, and the young men shall utterly fall. (NKJV) \n\nIs aware when you have isolated yourself because of circumstances in your life.\n\nEcclesiastes 4:9-10 Two people are better off than one\, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls\, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. (NLT) \n\nPlays with you\, instead of immediately going in for the kill. \n\nLuke 4:13 And when the devil had ended every [the complete cycle of] temptation\, he [temporarily] left Him [that is\, stood off from Him] until another more opportune and favorable time. (AMPC) \n\nWants to trick you into responding in a way you thought God delivered you from. \n\nRomans 7:15 For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do\, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature\, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. (AMP) \nLike the lion\, he is constantly watching\, looking for some opening into your life where he can try to wreak havoc and devour you. Your responsibility is to be on your guard. However\, if he catches you from time to time\, while in his grasp\, you  can call out for help.  \nPsalm 91:15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray\, and you will feel my presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honor. (TPT) \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 come thanking You for helping me recognize the enemy for who he is. He is unrelenting in his pursuit of me and is continually devising ways to destroy me. I also know I have to be just as unrelenting in my pursuit of You. I repent and ask You to please forgive me when I am not. Help me see the doors I have opened for the enemy to walk in and out of at will. Do in me what is necessary to be done and those doors will be closed permanently. Help me recognize my part. When he tries to get the upper hand\, help me see how far You have brought me. Help me use his tactics against him and in Your favor. I commit to be more diligent in my walk and I thank You in advance for victory… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 2:2
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 2:2 You used to live in sin\, just like the rest of the world\, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. (NLT) \nDo remember who you used to be? \nAre there times when you forget who you were before salvation? Don’t allow the enemy to take away your testimony. Your heavenly Father has forgiven you. Your sins are in the sea of forgetfulness. God promised to remember them no more. Those are all reasons to celebrate. Your celebration is your testimony. If the devil has his way\, you won’t tell it. You will conveniently leave out the ugly parts of your past.  \nEphesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation\, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ! 9 So no one will ever be able to boast\, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving. (TPT) \nYou don’t want to “act like” you did not need to be saved. Be careful that when you place your past in the sea of forgetfulness\, you don’t forget what God did for you. If you do\, you won’t have grace for those who are doing things you have forgotten you used to do.  \nPsalm 143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that You have done; I ponder the work of Your hands. (AMP) \nWithout the memory of what God did for you\, you will evaluate the actions of others\, continually finding fault. As you observe friends\, children\, coworkers\, etc.\, make sure you don’t give in to judgment. Read the parable of the unmerciful servant (Matthew 18:21-35 below).You don’t remember your past to be tormented by it. You remember your past to show mercy to others through your testimony. \nPsalm 145:6-8 We confess—there is nothing greater than You\, God\, nothing mightier than Your awesome works. I will tell of Your greatness as long as I have breath. 7 The news of Your rich goodness is no secret — Your people love to recall it and sing songs of joy to celebrate Your righteousness. (TVT) \nWhen you reflect on what God did for you\, you give Him glory for who you are now. When you meet someone who is in the same place where you used to be\, you understand everything he/she is going through. You can use where you were and what God did for you to speak life into the situation. Your transformation provides the foundation for the hope of your future. It also provides hope for anyone who hears your testimony.  \nRevelation 12:11 And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony\, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death. (AMP) \nYou have no testimony without tests. Remember what God did for you; He can and will do the same for others. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nDear Father God\, I admit for every time I have been judgmental of the flaws and the stumbles in the lives of those around me. I remember I repented when You convicted me. Even as I think of it\, I repent again right now. I am grateful for Your saving power. I am thankful for Your ability to deliver. I stand as a testimony to the miracle work You have done and continue to do in me\, as I submit myself to You. Help me tell my story. Someone else can experience the transformation and joy You provide; please use me\, I believe that is Your desire. \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:    \nMatthew 18:23-34 (NKJV)\n23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts\, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay\, his master commanded that he be sold\, with his wife and children and all that he had\, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down before him\, saying\, ‘Master\, have patience with me\, and I will pay you all.’ 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion\, released him\, and forgave him the debt. 28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat\, saying\, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him\, saying\, ‘Have patience with me\, and I will pay you all.’ 30 And he would not\, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done\, they were very grieved\, and came and told their master all that had been done. 32 Then his master\, after he had called him\, said to him\, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant\, just as I had pity on you?’ 34 And his master was angry\, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.”

SUMMARY:Revelation 1:18
DESCRIPTION:Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth\, and was dead; and\, behold\, I am alive for evermore\, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (KJV) \nAre you living a defeated life? \nIs it possible to know Christ\, believe in your heart God saved you\, but also be a long way from living as God intended? Is it enough to know that you are free from sin and death? Here are a few questions to ask yourself: \n\nDo you believe bad luck is the reason terrible things happen to you?\n\nPsalm 37:23-25 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall\, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young\, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken\, nor his seed begging bread. (KJV) \n\nDo you get angry and blame others for things you can’t control?\n\n1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy]\, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist]\, but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well\, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding\, and will overcome temptation with joy]. (AMP) \n\nIs your glass half full or half empty?\n\nJeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you\, says the Lord\, thoughts of peace and not of evil\, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me\, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me\, when you search for Me with all your heart. (NKJV) \n\nAre you still looking for God’s blessings in your life?\n\nPsalm 103: 1- 6 O my soul\, come\, praise the Eternal with all that is in me—body\, emotions\, mind\, and will—every part of who I am — praise His holy name. 2 O my soul\, come\, praise the Eternal; sing a song from a grateful heart; sing and never forget all the good He has done. 3 Despite all your many offenses\, He forgives and releases you. More than any doctor\, He heals your diseases. 4 He reaches deep into the pit to deliver you from death. He crowns you with unfailing love and compassion like a king. 5 When your soul is famished and withering\, He fills you with good and beautiful things\, satisfying you as long as you live. He makes you strong like an eagle\, restoring your youth. 6 When people are crushed\, wronged\, enslaved\, raped\, murdered\, the Eternal is just; He makes the wrongs right. (TVT) \nThough you are in this warfare\, understand the victory is already yours. The Lord God has defeated the principalities and powers that come against you daily. Stand on this truth because the enemy wants you to believe he is victorious. If you don’t understand God already has the victory\, you will struggle and always feel overwhelmed by life. Your words will betray your heart and speak of a God who is not omnipotent\, omniscient\, omnipresent\, and sovereign. God has already won the battle. Know it\, think about it\, and speak about it. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, in the name of Jesus\, I thank You for reminding me You already have the victory. Please forgive me for acting like You don’t. As I go through each day\, help me remember I am victorious through You. Help me not to be moved by what I see\, no matter how terrible and no matter how devastating. Help me hide who You are in my heart and I speak the right words about You. There is no being or force in existence anywhere that can compare in power to You. All wisdom and knowledge belong to You. You are present everywhere and at all times. The world\, heaven\, and earth are in Your hands. You created everything\, not time nor space limits You. Help me change my focus. When I see You at work in every situation; I will trust You more… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Jeremiah 29:11
DESCRIPTION:Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you\, saith the Lord\, thoughts of peace\, and not of evil\, to give you an expected end. (KJV) \nDo you know God is thinking about you? \nThe warfare you are in causes you to be anxious about who you will become\, what you will accomplish\, etc. Please know\, you don’t have to map out your life. You don’t have to figure out the end. There is a plan for your life. You may not fully know what the plan is.  \nJust continue to seek God.  \nActs 17:27 This was so that they would seek God\, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him\, though He is not far from each one of us. (AMP) \nKeep in mind\, He has ordered your steps.  \nPsalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord\, And He delights in his way. (NKJV) \nWhat you might think of as random or happenstance is in fact overseen by a sovereign\, omniscient God who knows the number of hairs on your head. There are no coincidences. He created you\, and He knows exactly why He created you.  \nPhilippians 2:13 For it is [not your strength\, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you\, both to will and to work [that is\, strengthening\, energizing\, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. (AMP) \nHe knows what you need to learn\, what you need to experience\, who you need to meet\, etc. He laid the plan to accomplish your purpose and He will. \nIsaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void\, But it shall accomplish what I please\, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (NKJV) \nYou can drop your shoulders and rest in God. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nThank You\, Father\, for giving me peace about my life. Thank You for the plan You designed for my life. You created me and gave me tasks and purpose. I repent for acting like You don’t have my steps ordered and I am not under Your protection. The enemy used to whisper uncertainty in my ear. I bless You because the devil cannot torment me about what I have done or have not accomplished. I will continue to seek You. I will rejoice in each day and live it as You designed for it to be lived. I will learn what You already ordained for me to learn\, and I will grow in You. You will get the victory. What You already accomplished in heaven will be manifested in me. In the name of Jesus… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 3:10
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 3:10 Every invisible authority and government in the arena of the heavenlies now witnesses the display of the wisdom of God. The church acts like a prism that disperses the varied magnitude of God in human form. (TMB) \nAre you allowing the wisdom of God to shine through? \nIt is God’s desire for you to understand where the warfare is. He wants you to recognize the war is with principalities and powers in heavenly places. The battle goes on there. He wants you to access His wisdom in this fight. What you think\, when you speak\, and how you act\, should reflect the love of God.  \nMatthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy\, noble\, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (AMPC) \nNo matter how intelligent you may be or how much experience you may have\, the only way you can show God’s love and be victorious is in\, with\, and through the wisdom of God. God’s wisdom shines through your lifestyle and choices you make. The world sees God and not you when: \n\nYou stop deciding on your own and ask for God’s wisdom. \n\nJames 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom\, let him ask of God\, who gives to all liberally and without reproach\, and it will be given to him. (NKJV) \n\nYou profess your salvation as representative of who God is and not who you are.\n\n1 Corinthians 1:30 But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus\, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation]\, and righteousness [making us acceptable to God]\, and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God]\, and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin]. (AMP) \n\nYou trust in Christ and yield to the Holy Spirit. \n\nProverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord completely\, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you\, and he will lead you in every decision you make. (TPT) \nWhen the love of God transforms your life\, the wisdom of God will shine through. \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 recognize I can live the life You have called me to because of Your wisdom and Your power. My trusting and living in You causes principalities and powers to see You manifested in me. I am sorry and I ask You to forgive me for relying on my wisdom. When the world sees You moving in my speech and my actions\, I am glorifying You by how I live. It is not because of me; it is because of Your majesty; I have victory. In Your infinite provision\, I don’t stand alone; You stand up in me along with every other Christian in the kingdom. Thank You!…  \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Corinthians 15:50
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say\, brethren\, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (KJV) \nAre you still trying to win a fleshly war? \nIn this warfare\, he who has the most toys does not win. This is not a battle for you to take the spoils. The victory is not getting what you want.  \n1 John 2:15-17 Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible. 16 For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh\, the allurement of the things of the world\, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world. 17 This world and its desires are in the process of passing away\, but those who love to do the will of God live forever. (TPT) \nYou are a soldier in the army of God. The victory is God’s and God’s alone. God’s victory is souls being saved\, the broken being healed\, and the bound being set free. You have to fight against the flesh and what it desires. How? I’m glad you asked.  \n\nDedicate time to study and meditate every single day.\n\nJoshua 1:8a This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth\, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night\, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it. (AMP) \n\nPray at all times until it becomes a habit.\n\nEphesians 6:18 Pray at all times (on every occasion\, in every season) in the Spirit\, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance\, interceding in behalf of all the saints (AMPC). \n\nMake sure your mind is on the right thing. \n\nPhilippians 4:8 Finally\, believers\, whatever is true\, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect\, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word\, whatever is pure and wholesome\, whatever is lovely and brings peace\, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence\, if there is anything worthy of praise\, think continually on these things [center your mind on them\, and implant them in your heart].(AMP) \n\nRemember\, you don’t have the power to resist the enemy; it is the God in you.\n\n1 Corinthians 15:56-57 It is sin that gives death its sting and the law that gives sin its power. 57 But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus\, the Anointed One. (TPT) \n\nDon’t validate yourself\, get help. \n\nProverbs 11:14 Where there is no [wise\, intelligent] guidance\, the people fall [and go off course like a ship without a helm]\, But in the abundance of [wise and godly] counselors there is victory. (AMP) \nYour flesh will return to the dust God created you from. Your spirit will be with the Lord. You have to fight like you understand that. Stop trying to amass “treasures” here on earth.  \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 repent for trying to win a spiritual war in my flesh. Thank You for showing me I don’t need victory the way the world sees victory. I need victory in You. I am grateful to be a part of Your army. I no longer seek something for myself\, prizes\, treasures\, things and stuff. Father God\, I seek You and You alone. My only desire is to dwell in Your house all the days of my life\, to gaze upon Your beauty and to seek You in Your temple… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 16:17
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him\, Blessed art thou\, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee\, but my Father which is in heaven. (KJV) \nAre you available for revelation? \nAs you continue to seek the Lord\, asking Him to show you your thoughts and govern your actions\, you will continue to be more and more aware of the spiritual warfare you are part of. Because you are seeking Him\, He will reveal things you didn’t see before. These things were always there. Now you will see them through renewed and transformed eyes.  \nMatthew 16:17 Simon\, son of Jonah\, your knowledge is a mark of blessing. For you didn’t learn this truth from your friends or from teachers or from sages you’ve met on the way. You learned it from My Father in heaven. (TVT) \nYou will know it is not “somebody” who showed it to you. God the Father showed you. Before\, you were not willing or able to see. Now\, your love of God and for God shows you. You have become one who is searching for Him with all of your heart.  \nHebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him\, for he who comes to God must believe that He is\, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (NKJV) \nThere is a reward for diligently seeking the Lord. You will find Him. \nJohn 15:15 I do not call you servants any longer\, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends\, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father. (AMP) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, I repent for not diligently seeking You for more understanding. Thank You for giving me deeper revelation\, despite who I am. You are endowing me with the ability to understand things I didn’t understand before. Continue to call me and draw me as I seek You. Continue to reveal Yourself and I will respond as You would. Thank You for trusting me with the truth… \nASK THE LORD WHAT HE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU ABOUT TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL AND JOURNAL IT HERE:

SUMMARY:Psalms 139:23-24
DESCRIPTION:Psalms 139:23-24  Search me\, O God\, and know my heart: try me\, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me\, and lead me in the way everlasting. (KJV) \nAre you allowing the Father to search your heart? \nOften you have thoughts you feel are perfectly okay. You follow those thoughts through to actions\, interactions\, and decisions. Sometimes\, when you look back\, the end results of your actions\, interactions and/or decisions are not what you thought they would be. Do you say “it seemed like a good idea at the time”?  \nProverbs 14:12 You can rationalize it all you want and justify the path of error you have chosen\, but you’ll find out in the end that you took the road to destruction. (TPT) \nIt is great to have the Heavenly Father help you see what really lies in your thoughts and where your thoughts will take you. When He looks into your heart\, what will He find? Will He find a heart that: \n\nLoves Him (Deuteronomy 30:6\, Matthew 22:37).\nKeeps His Word (Deuteronomy 26:16).\nServes Him (Deuteronomy 11:13-14).\nFollows Him (1 Kings 14:8).\nSeeks Him (2 Chronicles 15:12).\nPraises Him (Psalm 86:12).\nTrusts Him (Proverbs 3:5).\nBelieves Him (Romans 10:9\,10).\n\nYou want the Lord to search your heart and find these attributes. If He does\, He guarantees your victory in this spiritual warfare. He will take care of you. \nJames 1:25 But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free\, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it\, but put it into practice—you will be blessed by God in what you do. (GNT) \nWhen God\, through His word\, is the basis for your thoughts\, you won’t make decisions without guidance; you will ask. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nHeavenly Father\, I ask You to search me through and through. Please expose those secret and hidden things in me that drive my behavior. Shine the light on those emotional habits that end in my disappointment and hurt. I repent for not asking You to search my heart every day. I know I need You to show me what is not like You. Please lead me to a place in You that stands above anything else in my life. Do in me what You have to do. I want You to be glorified by my choices… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY: Chronicles 28:9a
DESCRIPTION:1 Chronicles 28:9a And thou\, Solomon my son\, know thou the God of thy father\, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts\, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts. (KJV) \nAre you controlling your emotions? \nThere are many things you battle with. But the root of all of your battles is in your thoughts\, feelings\, and emotions. If emotions rule your mind\, you are self-centered and have little regard for anyone else. Living an ego-centric life makes it almost impossible to minister to anyone else. You base the struggles you have on your assessment of your life. When things don’t go the way you want them to\, you think something or someone is against you\, has hurt you\, has caused you some offense\, etc. You rarely look at the situation and find that you may be at the root of your discomfort. However\, you can and just might be.  \n\nAs the Lord to help you see what is in your heart.\n\nJeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things\, and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely\, mortally sick! Who can know it [perceive\, understand\, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]? 10 I the Lord search the mind\, I try the heart\, even to give to every man according to his ways\, according to the fruit of his doings. (AMPC) \n\nBe aware of what causes you to behave other than how God would want.\n\nRomans 7:17-20 But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it\, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions\, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it\, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good\, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad\, but then I do it anyway. My decisions\, such as they are\, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. (MSG) \n\nTake responsibility for what you feel.\n\nGalatians 6:5 For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible]. (AMP) \nThen go to the Lord in prayer. \nPsalms 26:2 Put me on trial and examine me\, O Eternal One! Search me through and through—from my deepest longings to every thought that crosses my mind. (TVT) \nAs you are being taught to war\, the Lord will identify what is in your heart and help you control your emotions if you allow Him to.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \n\nFather\, in the name of Jesus\, I will submit my heart and my mind to You. I know You understand all my imaginations and my thoughts. I repent for allowing my feelings to run away with me. I need You to teach me how to guard my heart and help keep my mind on You\, then I will have perfect peace. Help me minimize the judgments that cause me to falter… \n\nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Hebrews 12:1
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 12:1 So now the stage is set for us: all these faith-heroes cheer us on\, as it were\, like a great multitude of spectators in the amphitheater. This is our moment. As with an athlete who is determined to win\, it would be silly to carry any baggage of the old law-system that would weigh one down. Make sure you do not get your feet clogged up with sin-consciousness. Become absolutely streamlined in faith. Run the race of your spiritual life with total persuasion. (TMB) \nAre you asking the Father to teach your hands to war? \nDo you ever stop to think about your life and make sense of all you have experienced? Did you realize you are in a war? However difficult it may be to grasp\, it is still true. Whether or not you are asking God\, He is still teaching you to war effectively. He spells it out in scripture. \n\nHe is teaching you who you are at war with\, not people.\n\nEphesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood\, but against principalities\, against powers\, against the rulers of the darkness of this world\, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (KJV) \n\nHe is teaching you what the enemy uses against you\, your own desires.\n\n1 John 2:16 Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way\, wanting everything for yourself\, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. (MSG) \n\nHe is teaching you when you should be ready. Not after being attacked\, you should be ready always.\n\n1 Peter 5:8 Be well balanced (temperate\, sober of mind)\, be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours\, the devil\, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger]\, seeking someone to seize upon and devour. (AMPC) \n\nHe is teaching you where the battle is. It is in your understanding of who God is and what He says.\n\nGenesis 3:1\, 4-5 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle\, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman\, “Can it really be that God has said\, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 4 But the serpent said to the woman\, “You certainly will not die! 5 For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened [that is\, you will have greater awareness]\, and you will be like God\, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.” (AMP) \n\nHe is teaching you how.\n\nEphesians 6:13-18 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God\, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day\, and having done all\, to stand.14 Stand therefore\, having your loins girt about with truth\, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all\, taking the shield of faith\, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation\, and the sword of the Spirit\, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit\, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (KJV) \nThe enemy’s job is to steal what God has for you; kill your faith; and destroy all your hopes to receive God’s promises for your life. Your job is to understand where the battle is\, and fight with the weapons God has provided. Engage! Live a life that sets someone else free. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \n\nFather\, in the name of Jesus\, I come before You\, thanking You for making me aware of my responsibilities. I repent for the days when I shirked them to do what I wanted. I ask You to reorder my life\, my thoughts\, and my actions\, as I can engage in the war for my soul and the souls of others. My desire is for You to get the glory out of my life and You would use me to save a dying world… \n\nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
