SUMMARY:1 Thessalonians 5:22
DESCRIPTION:1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. (KJV) \nDo you know what evil looks like? \nDo you know the things that fall into the category of evil? If not\, here is a list\, it is not all-encompassing. However\, it is a pretty good one: \nGalatians 5:19-21 The behavior of the self-life is obvious: Sexual immorality\, lustful thoughts\, pornography\, 20 chasing after things instead of God\, manipulating others\, hatred of those who get in your way\, senseless arguments\, resentment when others are favored\, temper tantrums\, angry quarrels\, only thinking of yourself\, being in love with your own opinions\, 21 being envious of the blessings of others\, murder\, uncontrolled addictions\, wild parties\, and all other similar behavior. Haven’t I already warned you that those who use their “freedom” for these things will not inherit the kingdom realm of God! (TPT) \nThe thing is\, you have to be on the lookout because sometimes evil is not as obvious as you might think. Evil does not always look the way we think “evil” should look. \nProverbs 14:12-13 There’s a way of life that looks harmless enough; look again—it leads straight to hell. Sure\, those people appear to be having a good time\, but all that laughter will end in heartbreak. (MSG) \nThe movie “Needful Things” tells the story of a shop that opened in a small\, picture-perfect town. The proprietor always seemed to have an item in stock that was perfectly suited to any customer who came through his doors. The thing is\, the item was not just a want. Somehow it was a “need”. It was something the customer believed he or she could not live without. They would do anything to get the item they “needed.” The prices were negotiable\, because money was not the only currency used. The proprietor would choose someone the customer would have to play a “trick” on and/or allow the customer to trade favors. The proprietor somehow knew about the long-standing desires\, private grudges\, arguments\, and feuds between the various townspeople. The pranks were his means of forcing them to escalate until the whole town was eventually caught up in madness and violence. \nThe movie was extreme in its delivery\, but the Lord was and is still speaking. Do you understand the difference between a need and a want? What is a need? A need is something that is necessary for the survival\, urgency\, life or death outcome. Emergency should come to mind. \nActs 17:27-28 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him\, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said\, ‘We are his offspring.’ (NIV) \nWhat is a want? A want is something that you wish for and/or desire. The desire can be really intense and you may even feel you will die if you don’t get it. However\, will you die if you don’t get it? The answer is no. \nJames 4:2-3 You want your own way\, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You lust for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. 2-3 You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it\, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children\, each wanting your own way. \nWhen you don’t know the difference between what you want and what you need\, you are a target for the adversary. The devil always pays up front; he just holds back the consequences until you are all-in. Your relationship with the Father gives you the edge you need to resist the devil and he will flee. \nPsalm 37:4-5 Delight yourself also in the Lord\, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord\, Trust also in Him\, And He shall bring it to pass. (NKJV) \nKeep these concepts in mind. First\, you have to delight yourself in the Lord. Make Him your joy\, your delight\, and your true pleasure. Then He is free to give you the desires of your heart. He will tell you what to desire. You don’t have the wisdom to know. This is where you confuse what you want with what you need. However\, He knows. Finally\, don’t meddle in the situation. Don’t try to help God work it out. He will bring it to pass. \nJames 4:7 So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. (AMP) \nMake sure you don’t miss the appearance of evil. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, first thank You for being my God\, my covering\, my keeper\, and my deliverer. I repent for all the times in my life when I chose what I thought something was a good thing\, when really it wasn’t. I know every one of those times; I made the choice without acknowledging You first. I will no longer give You a quick prayer. I will inquire of You. I will sit at Your feet and wait for Your leading. I have to suffer the fall-out for my actions and own my part in it. There are consequences when I don’t seek You. There are consequences when I don’t acknowledge You in all my choices. Sometimes I am confident about the decision I am about to make and I get through it untarnished. A good deal of the time\, I don’t. I am getting rid of the times when I take risks by using my intelligence and gut instincts; I will use spiritual discernment. What I hear will not sway me; whether it is the enemy whispering\, any other person speaking\, or my thoughts someone. I want to be led by the Spirit…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:1 Peter 1:22
DESCRIPTION:1 Peter 1:22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth\, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. (NLT) \nWhat kind of love do you have? \nJohn 3:16 For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only\, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life. (TPT) \nLove is a word that is passed around as often as the word friend. Often people use it because it is soft and sounds nice\, not because it is true. Sometimes it simply a warmer way of saying\, “I think you are nice.” Often  used instead of saying “thank you”\, for a kindness that is exchanged between two people. Family members\, both close and distant\, say it. As you progress in the things of God\, you learn there the difference in the love you will display when referring to your interpersonal relationships. Growing in God should also give you the liberty to change the way you love. Here are some examples of love. \n\nEros—Romantic Love.\n\nEros is an intense sexual desire for someone. Usually\, it is so passionate and overwhelming that the Greeks often thought it would cause someone to lose control of their words or actions. Today\, we might call it lust. Samson slept with harlots (Judges 16:1)\, Samson met Delilah (Judges 16)\, King David toward Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11). \nEzekiel 23:20a “She was filled with lust for oversexed men.” (GNT) \n\nPhilia—Affectionate Love.\n\nAll love is affectionate in some manner\, but philia love is one that doesn’t involve any passion or sexual impulse. It’s more like love between good friends or goodwill between you and someone you respect or admire. \n1 John 3:16\,18  By this we know love because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 18 My little children\, let us not love in word or in tongue\, but in deed and in truth. (NKJV) \n\nStorge—Familiar Love.\n\nThough people confuse storge with philia (love among friends)\, it has more to do with the love a family feels for each other. It is most recognized as the love a parent has for his or her child. It’s a powerful bond that is not easily broken. \nMark 5:23 He pleaded with Jesus\, saying over and over\, “Please come with me! My little daughter is at the point of death\, and she’s only twelve years old! Come and lay your hands on her and heal her and she will live!” (TPT) \n\nPragma—Enduring Love.\n\nThose married for a while know that there comes a time when the honeymoon is over. The eros you both had has added to it storge and philia and life goes merrily along. However\, if you last long enough\, eventually you have pragma\, an enduring love. It is love that stands the test of time. It’s the kind of love a husband and wife have after fifty years of marriage\, and they still want to kiss and hold hands. As the opposite of eros\, where the passion burns white hot and fades quickly\, pragma  matures and grows over time into something truly special. Abraham was 50 and Sarah was 40 when they got married. They were married for 77 years when Sarah died. \nGenesis 23:2 So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is\, Hebron) in the land of Canaan\, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. (NKJV) \n\nPhilautia—Self-Love/Care.\n\nYou learned the dangers of ego on September 20 and October 23. However\, philautia love refers to a healthy self-esteem. It is your emotional appraisal of your own worth\, how you think\, feel\, and act. It also reflects and determines how you relate to yourself\, to others\, and to the world. You can also think of philautia as how you take care of yourself\, in that you try to eat healthy food\, get enough sleep\, and exercise. If you don’t care for yourself\, you won’t have philautia. \nDaniel 1:8\, 12-13\, 15\, 17 But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile (taint\, dishonor) himself with the king’s finest food or with the wine which the king drank; so he asked the commander of the officials that he might [be excused so that he would] not defile himself. 12 “Please\, test your servants for ten days\, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the young men who eat the king’s finest food be observed and compared by you\, and deal with your servants in accordance with what you see.” 15 At the end of ten days it seemed that they were looking better and healthier than all the young men who ate the king’s finest food. 17 As for these four young men\, God gave them knowledge and skill in all kinds of literature and wisdom; Daniel also understood all kinds of visions and dreams. (AMP) \n\nLudas—Playful Love.\n\nIf you’ve ever been in love\, you have no doubt felt ludas . It’s the butterflies in your stomach\, the quickened heartbeat\, the anxiety you feel when you’re waiting for your love interest to walk through the door. It’s the flirting and teasing and playing you do in the early stages of dating. The focus is usually more on fun rather than building a relationship. \nSong of Solomon 1:4a “Draw me away with you and let us run together!” (AMP) \n\nAgape—Unconditional Love.\n\nAgape love is by far the most special\, most respectful of all the types of love. It is the kind Jesus refers to again and again throughout His ministry and is the one the Christian faith encompasses. Agape love is a universal\, unconditional\, selfless love for others. It involves being altruistic and caring more for others than for yourself. Jesus perfectly exemplified agape love when He died on the cross to save us from sin and death. He suffered so He could set us free. \nRomans 5:8 But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly! (TPT) \nMatthew 22:37-39 Jesus answered him\, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with every passion of your heart\, with all the energy of your being\, and with every thought that is within you.’ 38 This is the great and supreme commandment. 39 And the second is like it in importance: ‘You must love your friend in the same way you love yourself.’ (TPT) \nThe love God requires of you is agape love. The love He has for you represents it. It does not change depending on the person. It is sacrificial. Love is caring in action. Love isn’t what we feel\, it’s what we do. \n1 Corinthians 13:4-8a Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself\, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely\, does not seek its own\, is not provoked\, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity\, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things\, believes all things\, hopes all things\, endures all things. Love never fails. (NKJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for Your love. I repent for not loving the same way You do at all times. I am often overwhelmed at the magnitude of Your love. It is unconditional; thank You that there are no strings attached\, no hoops to jump through. I have never had to and will never have to work for Your love. Though You have expectations for me\, You continue to love me even when I don’t fulfill them. It is not an easy to love Your way and completely impossible without You. Yet\, I know I can do it if I take myself out of the equation. I have to allow Your love to flow through me. When I do\, I can expect to help someone else experience Your love. My only goal is to be submitted to You to the extent You can and will use me to show Your love. It is more than turning the other cheek. It is stepping into a completely different place where my actions can transform a person’s life. It is being a conduit where someone can come in contact with genuine love. Thank You for the opportunity to show Your love as I live on this earth…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 8:5
DESCRIPTION:Romans 8:5 Sin’s symptoms are sponsored by the senses\, a mind dominated by the sensual. Thoughts betray source; spirit life attracts spirit thoughts. (TMB) \nHow are you making your choices? \nSome sources suggest that the average person makes 35\,000 choices per day. Let’s break this down. If you sleep the recommended eight hours per day\, that means you make 2\,187.5 decisions per hour\, approximately 36.5 decisions per minute\, and roughly .6 decisions every second. What happens when you make decisions in your daily life based on how you feel\, whether they are good or bad? \n2 Corinthians 1:17 Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to the flesh\, ready to say “Yes\, yes” and “No\, no” at the same time? (ESV) \nHow does that compare to the times when you make your decision based on the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit? \nColossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. (AMP) \nWhen you are emotional\, you don’t think about why you are making the choice\, you just do what you want. Also\, emotional decisions rob you of the time you need to take to reflect on how your choice will affect you and/or others\, both in the decision moment and in the future. When you make an emotional decision\, you don’t want to be questioned. Why? Because you know you don’t have a God-ordained or prudent reason for the choice. When you let your flesh dictate your choices\, you fail to acknowledge God and often you make a mess. \nProverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions]\, But the Lord weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth]. (AMP) \nAlways step away from the situation in order for God to center you and guide you. \nProverbs 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) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather God\, though it is easy to make a decision when I am emotional\, I know I shouldn’t. I repent for the times when I tried to justify the decisions I made because I just didn’t want to admit I made the wrong one. Though You have grown me up to an almost unrecognizable place\, I know there is still much more for You to do. I realize emotional decisions can be negative as well as positive. They are negative when fueled by anger and/or pain. They are positive when influenced by excitement\, happiness\, and even love. Either way\, an emotional decision is not Your best for me. If I do not submit my decisions to You first; I will not make decisions that will please and honor You\, the ones You want me to make. I want Your peace to abide within me. Then Your presence will be evident in the choices I make; in the words I speak and the actions I take. I thank You for Your peace…\nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Colossians 2:20
DESCRIPTION:Colossians 2:20 If it is true that you were included in Christ’s death\, then the religious systems of this world with its rules and regulations no longer apply to you. What further relevance would there be for you to continue to live under the influence of man’s doctrines and ideas? (TMB) \nAre you religious or spiritual? \nTo be religious is to adhere to a fundamental set of beliefs and practices\, no matter what. Sometimes you don’t even know why you are complying. Often\, these beliefs involve devotional and ritual observances. They can also contain a moral code governing the conduct of your life. The strict adherence to the code can produce a feeling of bondage. When you do things simply to keep traditions or earn favor\, you are living like a Pharisee and not walking in the freedom. Religion is the law\, and it kills. Being spiritual requires the manifestation of the Spirit of God and that brings life (2 Corinthians 3:6). \n\nIf you are religious\, you blindly follow rituals and formality.\n\n\nIf you are spiritual\, you want guidance gained by communion with the Father.\n\nIsaiah 29:13 And the Lord said\, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me\, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning]. (AMPC) \n\nIf you are religious\, you submit to the demands of and yield complete control to man.\nIf you are spiritual\, you listen for and obey the voice of God.\n\nColossians 2:8-10 Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that’s not the way of Christ. Everything of God gets expressed in him\, so you can see and hear him clearly. You don’t need a telescope\, a microscope\, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ\, and the emptiness of the universe without him. When you come to him\, that fullness comes together for you\, too. His power extends over everything. (MSG) \n\nIf you are religious\, you speak of sin and of fault.\nIf you are spiritual\, you speak of repentance and forgiveness.\n\nJohn 3:17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject\, to condemn\, to pass sentence on) the world\, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. (AMPC) \n\nIf you are religious\, you care about how people see you on the outside.\nIf you are spiritual\, you care about what is in your heart.\n\nMatthew 23:27-28 “You’re hopeless\, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You’re like manicured grave plots\, grass clipped and the flowers bright\, but six feet down it’s all rotting bones and worm-eaten flesh. People look at you and think you’re saints\, but beneath the skin you’re total frauds. (MSG) \n\nIf you are religious\, you focus on what “to do”.\nIf you are spiritual\, you focus on who “to BE”.\n\nEphesians 6:6-7 Not in the way of eye-service [as if they were watching you] and only to please men\, but as servants (slaves) of Christ\, doing the will of God heartily and with your whole soul; 7 Rendering service readily with goodwill\, as to the Lord and not to men. (AMPC) \nPlease know\, keeping traditions won’t make you holy or give you everlasting life. Jesus died to make it possible to have a spiritual relationship with the Father\, not a religious one. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, You are The almighty\, all loving God. I don’t want to be religious in my interaction with You. I repent for allowing my Christianity and tradition to govern me with rules and regulations. Blindly following what everyone else was doing or what I was told to do with no understanding of why. I no longer pray because I’ve been told I should pray. I no longer fast because it’s the third day of the week. I do not love You out of obligation. I love You because of my relationship with You. Your word says You are Spirit and my interaction with You must be in spirit and in truth. I spend time with You because want to. I submit to Your leading and Your presence in order for our time to be rich and full of Your glory. There is no obligation. There is no banner to wave that says I prayed for an hour. I just want to be with You. Just to know we have a covenant relationship. I no longer want to be called Your servant; I want to be Your friend…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Romans 6:13
DESCRIPTION:Romans 6:13 Do not let the members of your body lie around loose and unguarded in the vicinity of unrighteousness\, where sin can seize it and use it as a destructive weapon against you; rather place yourself in readiness unto God\, like someone resurrected from the dead\, present your whole person as a weapon of righteousness. (TMB) \nAre you allowing God to keep you under control? \nIt might be strange to think a part of your body could lead you to sin. Look at Romans 3:13-18: \nRomans 3:13 Their words are full of deadly deceit; wicked lies roll off their tongues\, and dangerous threats\, like snake’s poison\, from their lips; (GNT) \nRomans 3:14 Bitter profanity flows from their mouths\, only meant to cut and harm. (TPT) \nRomans 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: (KJV) \nRomans 3:16  They leave ruin and destruction wherever they go. (GNT) \nRomans 3:17 And they have no experience of the way of peace [they know nothing about peace\, for a peaceful way they do not even recognize]. (AMPC) \nRomans 3:18 “There is no fear of God [and His awesome power] before their eyes.” (AMP) \nYou can’t be an effective witness if any of these verses describe you. \n1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who comes from God and dwells inside of you? You do not own yourself. 20 You have been purchased at a great price\, so use your body to bring glory to God! (TVT) \nIf any part of your members is out of alignment with the Father\, run into His presence. God’s healing is available to you and for you in every area of your life\, continuously. Keep yourself under subjection\, and you will serve the Lord with all your heart\, with all your mind\, with all your soul\, with all your strength\, and also with your whole body. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nMy Father\, what a revelation. I never thought I should look at the parts of my body in addition to my thoughts. I repent because I did not take the time to understand this method of attack from the enemy. I am sure there are things I did that dishonored You\, which I will not do again now that I have revelation. Now I personify the parts of my body to keep them under subjection to You. I have new strategies available to me. I bridle my tongue. I make sure my feet don’t carry me to places You don’t want me to go. I prevent my eyes from looking at things that don’t glorify You. I am sitting and meditating on this word. I have to keep my whole body\, not just my mind and my heart. I will keep my hands\, and they will not be swift to do work that tears down the Kingdom. Thank You for bringing me to the place where I can allow You to arrest me\, when my members have run amuck. I want to live under Your control…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Exodus 5:2
DESCRIPTION:Exodus 5:2 And Pharaoh said\, Who is the LORD that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD\, neither will I let Israel go. (KJV) \nAre you causing the enemy to fear God? \nSometimes the devil can try your life. It is his job. In those times\, if you don’t require the enemy to understand who your God is\, he won’t back up. \nLuke 4:8 And Jesus replied to him\, Get behind Me\, Satan! It is written\, You shall do homage to and worship the Lord your God\, and Him only shall you serve. (AMPC) \nYou can’t stand before the devil like the cowardly lion. You have to know who the God you serve is. \nDeuteronomy 10:17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords\, the great\, the mighty\, the terrible God\, Who is not partial and takes no bribe. (AMPC) \nExodus 15:7-8 In the greatness of Your majesty You overthrow those rising against You. You send forth Your fury; it consumes them like stubble. 8 With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up\, the floods stood fixed in a heap\, the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea. (AMPC) \nJeremiah 10:6 There is none like You\, O Lord; You are great\, and great is Your mighty and powerful name. (AMP) \nRevelation 22:13  “I am the Alpha and the Omega\, the First and the Last\, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One].” (AMP) \nThe God you serve is\, was\, and Who is to come. He is your strong tower; you can run to Him and be safe. The devil should fear God because you read the end of the story. \nRevelation 22:3-5 And there shall be no curse anymore: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him; and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp\, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (KJV) \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for prompting me to understand how to resist the enemy. I want him to flee. I repent for shaking like the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz as if the devil is stronger than You. I have nothing to fear. I will live my life making sure he understands I know the reason he should fear the God I serve. No weapon formed against me will prosper. What an awe inspiring fact to stand on. What a confidence-building place to be in. I am no longer afraid. I am no longer worried. I am just excited. I stand every day\, in full armor\, engaged and ready for whatever the day brings because You flung the stars and set the earth in motion. You parted the Red Sea. You raised Jesus from the dead and You live in me. The devil needs to be afraid\, very afraid…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:

SUMMARY:Psalms 138:2
DESCRIPTION:Psalms 138:2 I will worship the temple of thy holiness and praise thy name above thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast made thy name to be magnificent and raised up thy spoken word above all things. (JUB) \nAre you worshiping at the altar of another person’s opinion? \nHave you ever said\, “I don’t care what people think?” You probably wanted to mean it. However\, there are some people whose opinion matters to you. There is nothing wrong with that. You want to know if there is a stain on your clothes or if there is something on your face. When it comes to finding and understanding your place in God\, you seek the counsel of spiritual leaders\, prayer partners\, etc.  \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.  \nThe Bible encourages you to seek wisdom as long as you are asking for input and not for someone to tell you what to do. The biggest concern is\, did you begin your search with the One who created you?  \nJames 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance]\, he is to ask of [our benevolent] God\, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame\, and it will be given to him. (AMP) \nJust remember\, whomever you ask is on the same search as you\, no matter what their title or position is. They can give you tools for your search; however\, they can’t tell you who you are. You have to be willing to allow God to do the work in and through 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) \nIf you are not\, you accept the opinion that sounds good to you and you continue to go to that source for guidance. It is dangerous for you to allow any person to have the final say so about who you are. If you do\, you also give them undue influence over your life. You will want them to be pleased with you. You will make whatever changes they say you need to make and hang on their every word.  \nRomans 6:16a Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully\, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. (TPT) \nGod knows why He created you and what your purpose is. Go to Him to find your answers.  \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nFather\, I thank You for bringing me to the place where I only worship You. It has taken me years to get the understanding I can have respect for someone without allowing them to dictate who I am. I repent for the years I spent altering Your creation to accommodate the whims of someone else. I come to You for guidance\, for direction and for correction. I come to You to find out who I am\, where I am going\, and what I should do. I thank You for taking the time with me and for tolerating my inability to hear You clearly and accept what You say about me. I’m getting stronger every day. I am trusting You more every day. Thank You… \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
