Ephesians 3:10
2026-01-06
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)
Are you allowing the wisdom of God to shine through?
It 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.
Matthew 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)
No 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:

You stop deciding on your own and ask for God’s wisdom.

James 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)

You profess your salvation as representative of who God is and not who you are.

1 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)

You trust in Christ and yield to the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 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)
When the love of God transforms your life, the wisdom of God will shine through.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father, 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!…

Corinthians 15:50
2026-01-05
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)
Are you still trying to win a fleshly war?
In 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.
1 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)
You 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.

Dedicate time to study and meditate every single day.

Joshua 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)

Pray at all times until it becomes a habit.

Ephesians 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).

Make sure your mind is on the right thing.

Philippians 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)

Remember, you don’t have the power to resist the enemy; it is the God in you.

1 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)

Don’t validate yourself, get help.

Proverbs 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)
Your 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.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father, 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…

Matthew 16:17
2026-01-04
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)
Are you available for revelation?
As 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.
Matthew 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)
You 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.
Hebrews 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)
There is a reward for diligently seeking the Lord. You will find Him.
John 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)
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Father 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…

Psalms 139:23-24
2026-01-03
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)
Are you allowing the Father to search your heart?
Often 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”?
Proverbs 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)
It 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:

Loves Him (Deuteronomy 30:6, Matthew 22:37).
Keeps His Word (Deuteronomy 26:16).
Serves Him (Deuteronomy 11:13-14).
Follows Him (1 Kings 14:8).
Seeks Him (2 Chronicles 15:12).
Praises Him (Psalm 86:12).
Trusts Him (Proverbs 3:5).
Believes Him (Romans 10:9,10).

You 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.
James 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)
When God, through His word, is the basis for your thoughts, you won’t make decisions without guidance; you will ask.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:
Heavenly 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…

Chronicles 28:9a
2026-01-02
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)
Are you controlling your emotions?
There 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.

As the Lord to help you see what is in your heart.

Jeremiah 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)

Be aware of what causes you to behave other than how God would want.

Romans 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)

Take responsibility for what you feel.

Galatians 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)
Then go to the Lord in prayer.
Psalms 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)
As 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.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:

Father, 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…

Hebrews 12:1
2026-01-01
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)
Are you asking the Father to teach your hands to war?
Do 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.

He is teaching you who you are at war with, not people.

Ephesians 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)

He is teaching you what the enemy uses against you, your own desires.

1 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)

He is teaching you when you should be ready. Not after being attacked, you should be ready always.

1 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)

He is teaching you where the battle is. It is in your understanding of who God is and what He says.

Genesis 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)

He is teaching you how.

Ephesians 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)
The 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.
Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:

Father, 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…
