SUMMARY:Zechariah 3:1
DESCRIPTION:Zechariah 3:1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord\, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. (KJV) \nAre you winning or losing? \nThe enemy’s job is to keep you from accomplishing what God has intended. If you have read the book of Revelations\, you know God has already won. That should be great consolation to you. However\, what about in the meantime? Don’t you want to live your life in God’s promises and provisions? \nPsalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea\, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death\, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (KJV) \nTake time to reflect on your life. See where you have victories and where the enemy made you believe he defeated you. Ask God to show you what really happened. Is there something you could have done differently? Is there another perspective you could have or should have taken? What are you to do now and in the future? \nDeuteronomy 4:9-10 Only take heed\, and guard your life diligently\, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your [mind and] heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children and your children’s children. (AMPC) \n2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor\, spiritual strength) and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor\, majesty\, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)! (AMPC) \nAsk Him to expose whatever is in you\, preventing you from standing against the enemy and winning. Submit everything God exposes to you back to Him. \nPsalm 139:23 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. (TPT) \nWhen He shows you\, ask for help\, strength\, more faith\, deliverance or whatever is needed to get you from where you are to where you need to be. \nPsalm 139:24 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) \nWhat God reveals\, He heals. You don’t have to live a defeated life waiting until the end. You can win now! \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, thank You for the life You created me to live. I understand the enemy desires for me to live beneath my privileges. He doesn’t want me to walk out the promises You have for me in this life. I also understand the only way the devil gets victory is because I allow him to. I should have asked You to show me what is in me that keeps me from winning all the time. I am sorry. I ask now and I will continue to ask until I walk in the complete victory Jesus died for. Please help me recognize when there is something within me\, something the devil sees and is able to exploit. Help me use the weapons\, You have provided for me\, with the greatest effectiveness. Continue to change me from glory to glory until I have Your characteristics and I look just like You. I will no longer be a sure target and a casualty of war. I am no longer a victim; I am victorious. Continue to use my deficits\, my lacks and my flaws as steppingstones as You transform them into sufficiency\, abundance and perfection. Show me what I have to give up. Show me what I have to put to the side. Whether it’s an attitude\, an opinion\, or a relationship. Transform me. I want victory in my life. I know You can show me. I know You will heal what You reveal in me. I thank You in advance…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Luke 22:31
DESCRIPTION:Luke 22:31 And the Lord said\, Simon\, Simon\, behold\, Satan hath desired to have you\, that he may sift you as wheat: (KJV) \nDo you have your dossier compiled? \nWhen you are facing difficult situations\, how do you view them? During those times\, you may have felt you were under attack. You were\, just like Peter was. Did you stop to think that with each attack\, you have the opportunity to grow. \n1 Peter 4:12-13 Friends\, when life gets really difficult\, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead\, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process\, with glory just around the corner. (MSG) \nJesus is praying for you just as He prayed for Peter (Luke 22:32). Yes\, the devil wants you. However\, experience is a pretty good teacher. Take the time to compile a dossier on the devil; he certainly has one on you. (Job 1:7\, 2:2) With each attack of the enemy\, you can gain an understanding of the devil’s strengths and your weaknesses\, the devil’s weaknesses and your strengths\, and the devil’s strategic positioning regarding you. You know the enemy has three things he does. \nJohn 10:10a The thief cometh not\, but for to steal\, and to kill\, and to destroy. (KJV) \nHe wants to steal what the Father gave you\, kill your joy\, and destroy your faith. He has three ways he devised to accomplish his task. \n1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. (AMPC) \nHe has been using these tactics since God kicked him out of heaven. He tried them with Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11). He will try them with you. Do some military intelligence gathering. Analyze how he draws you in\, and see where the “little foxes” are in your life (Song of Solomon 2:15). Trust God completely and be willing to hear all He has to say about your life\, the good and the bad. Then you will know what the enemy’s weapons are and how to combat them with the word\, just as Jesus did. \n\nWhen he encourages you to walk in the flesh\, use 2 Corinthians 10:3-4.\nWhen he wants you to fight against people\, use Ephesians 6:12.\nWhen he tells you not to be an efficient soldier\, use 1 Timothy 6:12.\nWhen he wants you to fold under the hardship\, use 2 Timothy 2:3-4.\nWhen he wants you to believe you are fighting alone\, use Zechariah 10:5.\nWhen he wants you to fight without armor\, use Ephesians 6:13-18.\n\nSay with passion and commitment: \nPsalm 144:1 Blessed be the Lord\, my Rock and my keen and firm Strength\, Who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight. (AMPC) \nArmed with the word and your declaration of strength\, you win! \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, hear my petition and my cry. I know I have come and placed my cares at Your feet and then picked them back up again. I repent for doing that. I know You want me to stop. If I did\, I wouldn’t keep making the same mess. I could also stop picking up the pieces after the enemy has attacked me the same way again. Though my actions don’t always show it\, I want to understand how he attacks me and why he attacks me the way he does. Please help me evaluate those situations in my life. Help me see where the open doors are. Help me see where the cracks in the armor are. The enemy does not have to try anything new because he knows what way has worked in the past. Show me what is in me that makes his strategy work for him. Help me stop falling into the same trap that he has just disguised differently. I don’t want to be fooled. I don’t want to be drawn in by his tactics. Continue to help me analyze my attitude\, thoughts and relationships and see where the problem areas are. Thank You for mending the fence You have placed around me. I want to win…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 4:1
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (KJV) \nAre you willing to be tested? \nI am reminded of the story of Jonah and the big fish. There is one scripture that really stands out \nJonah 1:17Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. (KJV) \nGod was prepared for Jonah’s response because He is omniscient. He is also prepared for your responses. He made you and knows your thoughts. Nothing you do comes as a surprise to Him. \nPsalm 139:1-4 O Lord\, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life\, everything I do]; You understand my thought from afar. 3  You scrutinize my path and my lying down\, And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken]\, Behold\, O Lord\, You know it all. (Amplified Bible) \nBecause He loves you and has a plan for your life\, He sets up trials you must face. If Jesus has to be tested\, then why not you? \nHebrews 5:8 Although He was a Son [who had never been disobedient to the Father]\, He learned [active\, special] obedience through what He suffered. (AMP) \nYour desire may be to have a blessing filled life without hardship or issue. My Father used the phrase “living your life on flowery beds of ease”. You are not the only person who wants that life. However\, because of Adam’s sin and Eve’s deception\, life is not that way\, even though it is how God designed it. \nJob 14:1-2 “Man\, who is born of a woman\, Is short-lived and full of turmoil. 2 Like a flower he comes forth and withers; He also flees like a shadow and does not remain”. (AMP) \nArmed with this knowledge\, be ready for war. You also have to learn to be obedient through the things that you will suffer. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I repent for taking so long to say these words\, “Thank You for every opportunity You provided for me to grow.” Though I can say them now because You helped me understand I have to go to through some tough times; they are still hard words to say. I don’t want to go through even though I know it’s necessary. I have asked You several times\, is there another way for me to learn this? Your word says whom You love\, You chasten. You will chastise me because of the choices I make that do not please You. Those choices can be deliberate or innocent mistakes. Your chastising makes me better because Your word also says when the testing is done\, I will be perfect\, entire\, and wanting nothing. One reason You keep me close is because You love me. I want to believe another reason is because I make You laugh as I try to come up with ways to escape my times of testing and the chastisement for my wrong choices. Thank You for loving me enough to chastise me. Thank You for not moving the mountains. Through Your chastisement\, I gain the strength to climb them…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 Thessalonians 5:7
DESCRIPTION:1 Thessalonians 5:7 Sleeping and drunkenness are typical things people do at night\, but now the day of the Lord has dawned within us and has put an end to the slumbering effect and intoxication of the practices of darkness. (TMB) \nWhat are you doing in the night? \nWhat is it about the night that is incredibly inviting and exciting? Certain thoughts and behaviors comes to mind when you think about the night. It is when scary things are the scariest\, where mischief and mayhem abound. It is a time when you think no one is watching and you can get away with almost anything. Probably because you tell yourself everyone is doing something and enjoying the night. \nLuke 21:34-35 “But take heed to yourselves\, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing\, drunkenness\, and cares of this life\, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.  35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth”. (NKJV) \nYou are a child of the light. \nEphesians 5:8 For once you were darkness\, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light] (AMP) \nYou can use the word “night” metaphorically to mean the draw of the darkness of the world and the time when you know the enemy is working against you. You can also use the natural meaning of the word\, which is the end of the day. If you do\, you can use night for rest and meditation. Take time to ponder the questions of the day and the things that happened. Was God glorified? Did you take the opportunity to share Christ? Spend some moments reflecting on your life and purpose; spend some of your time in prayer and study. Seek the Lord for a clearer understanding of all you have encountered that day. Pray for His grace and mercy to complete what He has planned for your life. \nPsalm 63:6-7 I lie awake each night thinking of you and reflecting on how you help me like a father. I sing through the night under your splendor-shadow\, offering up to you my songs of delight and joy! (TPT) \nIt is time to put away the things you do when you think no one is watching\, and live a life that can be watched. \nTitus 2:7 And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern and a model of good deeds and works\, teaching what is unadulterated\, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive]\, with dignity and seriousness. (AMPC) \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 calling me out of the darkness into Your marvelous light. I repent for making choices without regard to those who might be watching me. You require me to live a life that can be watched. I will not dip and dodge\, slip and slide\, peep and hide. I will not live the spy life; trying to keep someone from seeing my undercover activity. I thank You for delivering me. Thank You for creating in me the desire to be a light before men. Whether I want it to be or not\, my life is being watched. I want whoever is watching to see You. Thank You for the Holy Spirit\, who helps me govern my actions and my speech. I will submit to instruction. I don’t want to lead anyone astray…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Matthew 6:13
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation\, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom\, and the power\, and the glory\, forever. (KJV) \nDo you still have doors open to the enemy? \nPart of your assignment is to look for the enemy and learn how he works in your life. Matthew 6:13 is a God ordained request you should make every day. “Lord\, lead me not into temptation and deliver me from the traps the devil has set”. There are traps the enemy sets to lure you in. Some of them you don’t have any knowledge of. There are also traps the enemy sets because you have given him and open door. You know God can deliver you from both because He is King of Kings and has all power. You just have to make sure you want to be delivered. Are you asking Him to deliver you because you know you should or is your request sincere? How do you know? You have to be willing to allow God to shine a light on your heart. You also have to be willing to allow Him to be Lord of your life\, not just your savior and deliverer. When the traps are your pet peeves or favorite things to do; your response to the Lord must be\, “Have Your way”. Don’t make excuses for yourself. \nRomans 13:14 Instead\, wrap yourselves in the Lord Jesus\, God’s Anointed\, and do not fuel your sinful imagination by indulging your self-seeking desire for the pleasures of the flesh. (TVT) \nIf you are unsure of the doors\, you opened to the enemy\, diligently seek the Lord\, He will show them to you. Please remember\, the devil uses the same tactics on you as he uses on everyone else. \n1 Corinthians 10:13a 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]. (AMP) \nHe just customizes them for you. However\, there are certain behaviors that open a door for the enemy\, no matter who you are. \n\nHolding grudges\n\nWhen you hold grudges\, you justify and embrace sin; and you come into agreement with the devil. \nEphesians 4:26-27 Be angry [at sin—at immorality\, at injustice\, at ungodly behavior]\, yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame\, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. 27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge\, or nurturing anger\, or harboring resentment\, or cultivating bitterness]. (AMP) \n\nWalking in unforgiveness\n\nWhen you don’t forgive\, you prevent your own forgiveness. \nMark 11:25 Whenever you stand praying\, if you have anything against anyone\, forgive him [drop the issue\, let it go]\, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions and wrongdoings [against Him and others]. (AMP) \n\nBeing self-serving\n\nWhen your goal is to get what you want\, when you want\, don’t compromise God’s standards in the process. \nMatthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other\, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money\, possessions\, fame\, status\, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].” (AMP) \n\nStraddling the fence\n\nWhen you are wishy-washy\, you are of no use to the Father. \nRevelation 3:15-16 I know all that you do\, and I know that you are neither frozen in apathy nor fervent with passion. How I wish you were either one or the other! 16 But because you are neither cold nor hot\, but lukewarm\, I am about to spit you from my mouth. (TPT) \nThe Father will show you how to resist the temptations and/or how to move yourself out of the way. \n1 Corinthians 10:13b 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) \nHe wants to shut any open door. When He shuts them\, be careful not to open new doors. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, I remember hearing the preacher talk about favorite sins. I realized I was making excuses so I could continue to do what I wanted to do. Thank You for leading me to a time of reflection and examination with You. You showed me my favorite sins\, and the pathways and doorways I opened in my life. You showed me though I was praying for Your protection; I kept putting myself in harm’s way. Though I was asking You to deliver me; I kept bringing those same things back into my life. You love me so much. I remember\, at that moment\, I repented. That was the last time I needed to ask You to forgive me for and deliver me from those things. Thank You for revelation and understanding. Thank You for deliverance. As I continue to evaluate my life; I thank You in advance for deliverance when I need it. Thank You for closing every door I opened. Thank You for leading me away from temptation\, and leaving the enemy without a new way in…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 13:12
DESCRIPTION:Romans 13:12 It was night for long enough; the day has arrived. Cease immediately with any action associated with the darkness of ignorance. Clothe yourself in the radiance of light as a soldier would wear his full weaponry. (TMB) \nAre you still making resolutions? \nHow many years have you made the same resolution January after January? This year\, I am going to lose weight. This year\, I am going to let go of the things I do that are not pleasing to God. This year I am going to eat right. This year I am going to pray and study more. This year I am going to work toward a promotion on my job. What prompted your resolution? Maybe you want to make more money. Maybe you received an unfavorable medical report. Maybe it is because you don’t want to buy more new clothes. Maybe you feal defeated in your walk with the Lord. You have to stop planning and stop talking about what you are “going” to do\, and do it!! You might ask\, is making a resolution a bad thing? That is something you will have to ask the Lord for yourself. However\, here are two things to consider when you make resolutions. \n\nOften resolutions are emotional and based on something that is currently going on for you personally. They can be a knee-jerk reaction instead of the result of time spent consulting God.\n\nProverbs 3:5-7 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. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead\, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. (NLT) \nThere is nothing wrong with setting goals. Wanting to spend more time with the Lord\, wanting to lose weight\, wanting to read the Bible more\, wanting to make more money\, etc. are good things. God is concerned with every aspect of your life. The question you should ask is\, “Why do you want to accomplish your chosen goal\, NOW?” Is it because it will make you spiritually stronger? If the goal is not spiritual\, is it what God wants for you at this time? If it is what God wants\, why do you need to make a resolution to do it? When you want to change\, you don’t have to make a resolution. You can simply pray and ask God to change you. When you pray\, ask the Lord what His will is for you. Ask Him what you need to fulfill His call on your life. Ask Him\, “Will your desires bring Him glory?” Then ask Him to change you as He sees fit\, and submit to His process. \n\nOften the resolution is just talk. As Christians\, because we belong to God and when we make a resolution\, it is a vow to God. Keep these scriptures in mind.\n\nMatthew 12:36 But I tell you\, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative\, nonworking) word they speak. (AMPC) \nEcclesiastes 5:4-6 When you tell God you’ll do something\, do it—now. God takes no pleasure in foolish drivel. Vow it\, then do it. Far better not to vow in the first place than to vow and not pay up. 6 Don’t let your mouth make a total sinner of you. When called to account\, you won’t get by with “Sorry\, I didn’t mean it.” Why risk provoking God to angry retaliation? (MSG) \nDo you really want to promise God something on a whim? You don’t have to\, there is a better way. \n\nAlign yourself with God’s purpose.\n\nJeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you”\, says the Lord\, “plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster\, to give you a future and a hope”. (AMP) \n\nWalk in His plan.\n\nPhilippians 1:6 I am convinced and confident of this very thing\, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]. (AMP) \n\nAllow God to unfold your life before you.\n\nPsalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet\, and a light unto my path. (KJV) \n\nDelight the Lord with your life.\n\nPsalm 37:23 The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. (AMPC) \n\nEmbrace the decisions God has already made.\n\nPsalm 37:5\, 7a Commit your way to the Lord\, Trust also in Him\, And He shall bring it to pass. 7 Rest in the Lord\, and wait patiently for Him; (NKJV) \nYou don’t need to make a resolution in January that you probably won’t fulfill and will abandon by February. Resolutions challenge you; the spirit of God flowing freely in your life changes you. \n\nGet hungrier with desire for the Lord\, EVERY DAY.\nLook at how you spend your time and cut out those things keeping you from His presence\, EVERY DAY.\nFall in love with the Lord\, EVERY DAY.\nCarve out time exclusively for the Lord\, EVERY DAY.\nEmpty yourself of anything that is not like the Lord\, EVERY DAY.\nRelease your ties to the world\, EVERY DAY.\nBecome faithful and stop making excuses\, EVERY DAY.\nSee the Lord beckoning you to Him\, not demanding your time\, EVERY DAY.\n\nIf you walk out your claim that Jesus is Lord of your life\, EVERY DAY\, you won’t need to make a resolution of any kind. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I repent for every empty resolution I have made in my life. Thank You for stopping me from making and breaking vows to You. Thank You for showing me I should want to be in Your presence on purpose\, not because You require it of me. I must create time. I can’t just fit You in. I can’t rush to be with You\, for a few minutes here and a few minutes there\, in between doing the “important” things in my life. I know that is not enough for me or for You. There are promises I can have if I acknowledge You and ask for Your guidance every day. You will release all fears and uncertainties I have about my life and my future. You will restore me to the place You ordained me to be before I veered off the path\, making my own way. I won’t have to wait for the battle to be over; I can rejoice because I know I will win. I will always be radical in pursuing my relationship with You. You hold my life in Your hands. Thank You for knowing what’s in my heart. Thank You for showing me making resolutions is not the way. Because I am special to You and You are special to me\, You require special time. Thank You for creating a relationship where You can nudge me and say\, “It’s our time now.” I am overwhelmed and amazed at the work You’ve done in my life because of our time spent together. I want more. I don’t have to make a resolution\, I have to submit…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Ephesians 4:27
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 4:27 Any sin that you tolerate is an open invitation to the devil. Do not give him a platform to operate from. (TMB) \nDo you have a virus? \nThere are signs when you have a virus on your computer: it runs slower; programs don’t function properly; the actions that are routinely performed don’t run as expected\, etc. Most computers have anti-virus software on them. They designed those applications to search for\, detect\, remove\, and even prevent computer viruses\, other malicious attacks\, and more. These tools are critical because a computer without anti-virus software can be infected within minutes of connecting to the internet. The bombardment is constant. To keep your computer running smoothly\, you need to use the antivirus software. It is best to use it on a preventative or maintenance program that runs all the time and according to the schedule you set. It will clean the entire system continuously and completely. \nYou have an anti-virus program for your life. It is the Bible. If you allow it to\, it will: \n\nPrevent the devil from making you run slower than you should.\n\nIsaiah 54:17 “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace\, righteousness\, security\, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord\, And this is their vindication from Me\,” says the Lord. (AMP) \n\nSearch for those things would cause you not to function properly.\n\nPsalm 26:2 Examine me\, O Lord\, and try me; test my heart and my mind. (AMP) \n\nDetect what is causing you to no longer do what you know to do the right way.\n\nPsalm 139:23-24a Search me [thoroughly]\, O God\, and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts; 24 And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me. (AMP) \n\nRemove all traces of the devil and his destructive forces from your life.\n\nPsalm 51:2\, 7 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness and guilt And cleanse me from my sin. 7 Purify me with hyssop\, and I will be clean; Wash me\, and I will be whiter than snow. (AMP) \nThe Bible is critical because the enemy began his attack before you were born. \nGenesis 3:15 “I will make you and the woman hate each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies. Her offspring will crush your head\, and you will bite her offspring’s heel.” (GNT) \nPsalm 51:5 Behold\, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (KJV) \nThe devil works to infect your life and damage your witness by influencing how you respond to your trials\, temptations\, hurts\, cares of life\, desire for worldly gain\, and more. Without the Bible\, you are slower to obey; you don’t live a life that brings light wherever you go; you respond out of your flesh instead of being led by the Spirit; and ultimately\, you move away from the things of God. You have a maintenance program set up for your life that can run constantly and routinely. It will make sure it washes you from head to toe. \n2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don’t drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence\, not mere hearsay\, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test\, do something about it. (MSG) \nIt is not enough for you to have the maintenance program available to you. Make sure you are using it. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for Your Word. Thank You for this revelation today. I repent for those times I would go along\, knowing something was not right and giving myself credit for soldiering on. Though I prayed about it\, I did not stop long enough for You to do something about it. I never thought I was walking around with a virus that was affecting my witness. Thank You for reminding me I have the Bible in my life. It runs continuously in the background. It is my foundation and my instruction. I have the Holy Spirit in my life\, Who brings the Bible to the foreground when needed. He gives me notifications and an unction that pops up when my thoughts don’t honor You and my actions don’t bring You glory. Help me do a virus scan\, daily\, for infections that have creeped in without me knowing it. I thank You for Your power; it’s able to wipe me clean and keep me protected. What a marvelous God You are. I don’t want to do things that draw me from You. I want to do things that bring me closer to You; I need You and I love You. Thank You for always being there and keeping me virus free…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
