Are you "WORKING" for GOD today? "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shown toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister." Hebrews 6:10 No matter how small you make think your efforts for the Kingdom of God may be, I can promise you that they are not unnoticed. How wonderful to know that the God of all creation sees every deed that is done toward his name. He knows the intent of every heart and every pure motive behind every deed or word is pleasing in his sight. There may be times when you feel that what you are doing is in vain, but as long as you are going forth in love it has been seen by the Father above. Keep on working for his glory!!! Have you been Digging in the Word Today??? Have you taken time to meditate on the Word of God today? There is absolutely nothing in this world that can take the place of your time with the Heavenly Father. When you begin to set aside time for Him, He will show up!! Draw close to Him and just watch how He draws close to you!! How awesome to know that the God of all creation wants to spend time with us! We are His children and He wants to saturate us with His love. Get out your spiritual shovel and start digging in the WORD. You'll be amazed by all the treasures that you'll find. "And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan, shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap."- Joshua 3:13 God is just waiting for you to STEP!! So many times, the children of God refuse to step because of fear, doubt or confusion. These things are not of God. If God has told you to step out, then you need to step. Once you step, you will see that He will provide and that He is on the scene. The waters will begin to part before your eyes. Be brave for the Lord today and STEP! "Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him."-Samuel 1:17 Do not doubt today that God has heard your petition. Whatever your request is he knows. Even when we don't speak out verbally our requests to the Father, He still knows the needs and desires of our hearts. He knows our very words before they proceed from our lips. I can promise you that there is no one else who knows you like He does. "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8 This passage has been so meaningful and so powerful to our family. How wonderful it is to know that even while we rest, Our Heavenly Father is watching over us. He alone keeps us safe. Safety doesn't lie in a strong front door, an alarm system or a big ferocious guard dog. God alone is our hedge of protection. He gives us peaceful sleep as we are kept in His hand. "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."-Proverbs 6:3 ALL.....such a small word; yet, such an inclusive and absolutely HUGE word. ALL is everything! In every single one of your ways, ideas and beliefs you must acknowledge Christ. He must be the center of your life. He must be the center of your heart. When He is you will not wander to the left or to the right. Your heart's desire will be to be with Him. He won't stray and when you are cleaving unto him neither will you. "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."-Matthew 4:19 Are you ready to go fishing? When you are a fisherman for the Lord, you don't have to wait for the right time of year or the weather to be perfect. When you decide to be a fisher of men you can fish anywhere and anytime. We need to be casting out the spiritual fishing poles each and every day. It's all about telling people about JESUS!! "The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer."-Psalm 6:9 The Lord has heard and He does HEAR!! He hears every request and He knows every need. Praise His name!! His word says that HE knows what things we are in need of before we even ask. HE KNOWS!! His ears are upon to His children. He is listening and He is moving on your behalf. Even when you can't see it....GOD IS WORKING!!! "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."-St. John 14:27 No matter what you are facing today you have the absolute right as a child of God to walk in peace. You may not understand why the attacks are coming from every side, but don't lose faith. God is on your side. Choose to bask in His peace and do not walk in fear. "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."-St. John 15:16 Is your life bearing fruit for the Father today? He has chosen you to be His child. He has created you for His purpose and His will. He has called you to fulfill His will. Don't be afraid to rise up to be what God has created you to be. It's not about you. It's all about Him!! He just wants vessels that He can use for His glory!! Be fruitful!!! "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."-Psalm 91:1 God has a place of refuge for His children. Not only does He have a place of refuge for us, but it is a place that is of Him. His shadow. How close He must be to us in our times of distress when we know that it is His very shadow that covers us. He must be our refuge. We must choose to dwell in His secret place every day of our lives. There is no other true refuge. "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."-St. John 14:1 What's troubling you today? What worries cloud your mind? Whatever you are facing, whatever you are going through I know that I serve a GOD who is BIGGER!!! NO matter how impossible your situations look, don't give up!! Keep pushing and keep pressing and watch GOD show up!! ONLY BELIEVE!!! Don't fret! Don't worry! ONLY BELIEVE!! "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."-St. John 14:21 Have you everyone loved someone who didn't love you back? I am sure that at some point in all of our lives, we all have. I am so thankful that God's word promises us that as we know and keep His commandments we show our love for Him. But, it isn't a one sided love. When we love Him, the Father loves us!!! Not only does He promise His love to us but He says He will show himself to us!! Are you watching for the Lord to manifest himself to you today? He speaks in so many ways to His children. Keep your spiritual eyes and ears open! "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice."-Phillipians 4:4 Praise the Lord. You have something to rejoice about today. If God woke you up this morning, you are blessed. God has chosen to breathe His breath of life upon you today. If you are a child of God you should be consumed with joy today. Remember, that your circumstances and even your happiness do not determine your level of joy. Your joy should be overflowing because you are a child of the King. REJOICE TODAY!!! You may cause someone else to rejoice! "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God." How do we find the absolute perfect will of God? We must determine in ourselves with each fresh day that is set before us not to conform to the ideas, thoughts and beliefs of this world. We must crucify this flesh daily and ask the Lord to be our guide through each day that passes. Our heart, mind and soul must be set upon Him so that we are in tune with what He has to say. We need not please anyone except the Father. We haven't been placed upon this earth to please man. We're here to be a servant unto the Lord. "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare": before they spring forth I tell you of them."-Isaiah 42:9 You may wonder how can the Lord who never changes do a new thing. Remember that He never changes; yet, there is so much that you and I do not know about the Father. He's that BIG! No matter how much we learn about Him and grow to know Him there will always be that much more for us to learn and know about Him. He is indescribable. He is beyond my human words. Ask Him to tell you of the new things He plans to do today. How awesome to know that He wants us to know all of the wonderful things that He has done, is doing and is going to do. "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."-Isaiah 42:8 There is no God like the Lord God. He is Jehovah. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the beginning and the end. He has always been and He will always be. He alone is worthy of your praise. Lift Him up today with the way you choose to live your life. Your actions most often speak louder than your words. Let your life praise Him outloud! "The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry."-Psalm 34:15 Don't you ever doubt for one second that God sees you and He knows right where you are and all that you are going through. His ears hear your cry. He knows your heart. He knows when you are facing circumstances that you feel are surrounding you from all sides. Rest assured that you are not alone. He loves you and He is working on your behalf. Be encouraged today for the God of all creation is watching over you! "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."-Phillipians 4:6 As the children of God, we must realize that God is always working for our good. No matter what the present situations or circumstances look like you can rest assured that when it's all said and done it will be for the best when God's will is fulfilled. What petitions do you have before the Lord today? Stop worrying about your petitions and trust God to work on your behalf. Have you wrapped your petitions in PRAISE today? Begin to thank Him for your answers before you they are manifested. Count it done!!! "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled."-Matthew 5:6 God has a spiritual meal spread each and every day for His children. It's a promise of the Lord that we shall be filled. There's one stipulation...........we must be hungry! His blessings are never ending and there are blessings for ALL of His children. I am so glad that God loves us all and that He alone fills our hungry souls. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."-Isaiah 40:31 I am sure there have been times in your life when you felt overcome by weariness. We all face times in our lives when we feel like we can't juggle another busy day's schedule. But, I can promise you that when you seek God first He will somehow in His divine way help you to achieve all that you need to throughout your day. He will give you strength straight from the throne. It's so wonderful to know that His strength is perfect during our times of weakness. "Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you." -Habakkuk 1:5 If there is one thing that I absolutely know it is that God is always looking out for his children. I promise you that He is speaking you today and showing you things which are happening and things which lie ahead for you. Take time to listen. How awesome to know that God is working in the day that we live in and that He is doing and will do things that will make us marvel and stand in awe. Take time to notice what He is doing today. Let Him know that you want to hear what it is that He has to say. "I entreated they favour with my whole heart; be merciful unto me according to they word." -Psalm 119:58 If you are a child of God then I believe you have the favor of God upon your life. The Word of God declares in Proverbs 14:9, "among the righteous there is FAVOUR." Isn't it awesome to know that just as you asked your earthly father for earthly treasures as a child, you have the right to ask your Heavenly Father for the treasures of Heaven? I absolutely believe that a child of God should ask Him for His favor. Ask Him to pour out His Spirit upon you. Ask Him for His gifts and callings upon your life to be active and alive. Why? Because the gifts and callings that He has placed upon you are not for you. You need to be a vessel that He can overflow for His glory so that His kingdom will be lifted up and the name of His precious son Jesus, be lifted up! "And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee."-Jeremiah 1:19 Do you feel like the warfare is all about you? Do you see fiery darts flying from the right and from the left? Excellent. If you see fiery darts all around you then you must really be stomping on the devil's territory. Keep up the good work for the kingdom of God. I promise you that the enemy will not concern himself with attacking you unless he has a reason to. When you begin to stomp on the devil's territory the warfare will come. But, praise God that the WORD declares that the enemy will not prevail. God is on your side today and you will be victorious. "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry."-Psalm 40:1 Are you waiting on the Lord today? Are you seeking His direction? Are you waiting for His whisper to confirm what you feel in the depths of your spirit? Don't give up. The Lord we serve is faithful and true. I know that whatever you are waiting for today, He will provide the answer that you need. He will always be RIGHT ON TIME. It may not be your time, but it will always be at the very moment that your answer is needed and at the time that He will receive the most glory. "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." -Psalm 34:8 God is good all the time. NO matter what you are facing today you must keep your trust in Him. The word of God declares that you are blessed; empowered to prosper, because your trust is in Him. He will absolutely, positively, without fail, never let you down. Whatever you are believing Him for today; just keep on believing. Keep your trust in Him and I promise you that you will see Him move according to His will on your behalf. "And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all." -1 Samuel 30:8 What has the enemy stolen from you? Has he attacked your family, your finances, your ministry or your health? Whatever the attack, it is time for you to issue a counterattack. It is time for the children of God to wage mighty warfare against the devil. It's time for you to go on down to the enemy's camp and "without fail recover all". It's time to take it all back! "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" -Joel 2:28 There is a saturation taking place in the body of Christ. I believe that for those who are seeking the Lord, there is an outpouring of His Spirit that His going forth. Saturation is for purpose. I believe that God is saturating His people for the end time harvest. It is time to get about His work and complete what He has called us to do. As the body of Christ, we should be labouring in the spiritual field and harvesting the souls for the Kingdom of God. Get your boots on and get in the fields! "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation." You can rest assured that God hears your prayer and He is going to send your answer. The reality is that your answer is already on the way. When Daniel sought the Lord, his prayer was heard the moment he prayed. At that moment, the angel was dispatched to bring forth the word of wisdom and understanding. The Word of God declares that there was warfare for 21 days and then the answer came forth. The devil may try to block your answer but he cannot stop it. You keep holding on and just watch God show up! "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."-1 Corinthians 2:16 Has the devil try to tell you lately that you "can't" do something? Has he tried to convince you with his lies that you are not capable of completing the tasks that God has set before you? He is a liar and the father of all lies. Put him in his place today. Remind him that the word of God declares that you have the mind of Christ. In your own self and your own wisdom you may not be able to handle the tasks ahead, but with Christ all things are possible. You aren't thinking on your own. The word of God declares you are instructed by Christ. "Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel."-Joshua 1:2 NOW THEREFORE ARISE! I just want to remind you today that we serve a NOW GOD. Don't ever think for one minute that God's plan will not be fulfilled. Moses, God's servant, was dead but the plan would carry on for the nation of Israel. Can you imagine that they may have thought the Promised Land would never be possessed because their leader was now gone? Remember, your circumstances may shift and change as God is preparing you to occupy your Promised Land. But, there is one thing that I know He wants you to possess the land. He is saying to us today, "NOW THEREFORE ARISE". Possess your Promised Land. It's time to ENTER IN! "O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me."-Psalm 25:2 Who does your trust stand in today? Are you trusting in GOD or are you trusting in the things of this world? When you place your trust in Him you can rest assured that the victory will come. HE will lead you, guide you and place your feet on a solid rock. The "rock" of the precious Saviour, Jesus Christ, cannot be shaken and cannot be moved. Glory to God the devil can not move your feet when you are standing on the ROCK..........JESUS CHRIST!!! Look down, examine your feet today.......Where are your feet standing? "(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were." Have you ever heard someone say, "I'll call it like I see it"? Well I believe that it's time to call it like HE sees it. It's time that we serve notice on the devil that we will speak those things which be not as though they were. We will begin to speak what God sees for our lives, our situations, our circumstances and our battles. We will see our situations settle, our circumstances dissolve and our battles turn into victories. Start talking out loud today so the enemy is aware of where you stand. God is working for your good and it's time that you let the devil know it! "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."-John 4:34 I'm sure that you've taken time to eat today. But, have you taken time to feed your spiritual man? How awesome is the precious word of Jesus who declared His meat was to do the will of the Father. We need to feast on the word of God each and every day. His Word will feed your hungry soul and fulfill your spiritual appetite time and again without fail. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?-Psalm 22:1 Have you ever felt forsaken? Have you ever felt like God was a million miles away? If so, you are not alone. Even the psalmist David felt distress when he felt that God was no where to be found. You may go through times in life that you feel all alone. But, I promise you there is one thing that will ever be true. God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. He made that promise to you and He is the promise keeper. He WILL NOT break His word. So, the next time that you feel that God is not near to you, remind yourself that He is still right there. He is faithful to His children. "Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vison. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven." - Daniel 2:19 Have you blessed the God of heaven this day? When God reveals things to you, you need to bless His name. Don't take for granted the voice of God. Don't take for granted the precious words of God. His voice is clear and true. He is speaking to you. He will reveal great and mighty things unto you......are you listening? Listen....treasure His voice....Praise His name!!! "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." -St. John 8:36 Are you living a life of spiritual freedom today? So many times, we get caught up in looking at all the things surrounding us that we don't take enough time to examine what we look like on the inside. We live in a free country, but are you free on the inside? Only Jesus Christ can give you true freedom. If you are bound in spiritual captivity today, all you have to do is cry out to Jesus. He will loosen the chains that bind you and set you free. Choose to live a life of freedom and liberty through the gift of salvation today! "Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace".-Acts 18:9 How courageous have you been for Jesus Christ today? The enemy wants to stop you in your tracks if you are making a stand for Jesus Christ today. But, Jesus Christ wants you to keep on walking. Our Heavenly Father wants you to boldly keep telling everyone you meet about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Don't be intimidated by the enemy today. Don't ever let him shut you up. Keep on proclaiming the name of JESUS!! "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light".-Ephesians 5:8 Aren't you glad that your "sometimes" have passed? If you are a child of God, the "times" that you walked in darkness are now in the past. If you're saved today that doesn't mean that you'll always feel like you are walking in the light. There will still be times that you feel like you don't know where you're going. The awesome thing is that you don't always have to know where you're going, you just need to know that God is leading you by the hand. As long as He leads, you WILL always be walking in the light of His love. "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me".-Psalm 51:10 Have you aske Him to create in you a clean heart today? It is so important that we asked God to search us hearts on a daily basis. There may be something in your heart that is trying to take root that is not pleasing to the Lord. If you are continually asking Him to create in you a clean heart, He will reveal to you anything that is not of Him. When He reveals it to you it may be painful, but remember that God chastens those that He loves. He loves you today and He wants you to be in right standing with Him. Don't be afraid to ask Him to try your reigns today. "This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it".- Psalm 118:24 Are you rejoicing today? Just think of the wonderful blessings that God has poured out upon. We should rejoice just because of the God we serve. We should rejoice because we have another day to breathe the breath of life. This day is a gift to you from God. Don't let it slip away without doing something this day to give Him glory. Praise Him today!! Let your heart be filled with JOY and REJOICE!! "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."-Psalm 37:7 There will be times in your life when God has appointed you time to rest. It's not time to be slack in your spiritual discipline, it is time to REST. Take time to sit down, breathe and soak in His presence. It's not a time of spiritual laziness. It's time to be rejuvenated and wait patiently as God is moving and working things in your life. He is working on your behalf. Down let the stress of life wear you down. Cast your cares upon Him, take time to rest and wait upon the Lord. "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."-Matthew 24:42 Are you watching today? Has it even crossed your mind that today could be the day the Jesus Christ will split the Eastern sky? As you rode down the road today, did you even fathom in your mind that you could see Him in the clouds? We should be expecting to see Him come again. We should be living our lives in complete submission to Him and His will. HE is coming soon! Will you be ready, watching and working until then? "Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul."-Psalm 146:1 Have you given Him praise today? Did you wake up this morning? Then, PRAISE HIM!!! Do you have strength in your body today? Then, PRAISE HIM!!!! PRAISE HIM TODAY JUST BECAUSE HE IS GOD!!! PRAISE HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS ON THE THRONE!!!HE IS THE GREAT ALMIGHTY!!! "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."-1 John 4:8 Is your heart full of love for everyone today? Some people are just naturally easy to love. But, there will be some people that you encounter in life that you just don't click with. People that just seem to be on their own track in life. Guess what? Your love for them should be the same as yourself, your family, your neighbors and your children. I realize that some people hold special places in our hearts. Some people we just love more than others because we share special bonds. But, I am talking about the love of the soul. Every man, woman, boy and girl born into this sinful world has a soul. Even though you may be around people everyday that you don't agree with their thoughts or their ways, you must still love their soul. You should earnestly desire to see everyone receive Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. Look beyond the personality conflicts today and think about the SOUL. It will spend eternity in one of two places. Take time to pray for those who are lost today. "For the joy of the Lord is your strength."-excerpt of Nehemiah 8:10 Do you feel weak today? There are times that we all feel weak on the inside and on the outside. In those times, take a look at those areas in your life that are zapping your joy. Are you too busy with menial tasks that never seem to amount to anything? Do you feel like you're always spinning your wheels and never going anywhere? I promise you that the time you spend with the Lord will always be time well spent. You can never seek Him enough, praise Him enough or thank Him enough for all He has done and for who He is! Don't let the business of life zap your joy!!! Renew your strength today! Let your joy overflow! "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." Exodus 34:14 Is God first in your life today? If He isn't first in your life today then you need to identify who or what has taken His place. So many times, we need to stop and take a look at our priorities. We need to stay in check to make sure that He is still #1 in our lives. Don't let anyone or anything take His place. "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."-II Timothy 1:12 Have you committed it all to Him today? Is there anything that you haven't let go into the hands of God? Have you relinquished all rights to your children, your spouse, your finances, your possessions, your mind, your strength, your soul? He wants to be Lord in every part of your life. You have to trust Him with everything!! If you have trusted Him with your soul unto the saving grace of salvation how much more should you trust Him with ALL??? LET GO! "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destoy them."-Deuteronomy 33:27 When you are a child of God, our Lord is takes very seriously the warfare the He is fightintg on your behalf. He sees the enemy and every attack that He attempts to send forth against you. God sees it all! I challenge you today to be proactive in your warfare. Ask God to cancel every attack that the enemy has set forth against you. Trust God and just watch Him fight on the battlefield. "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses."-Joshua 1:3 It's time to start "stepping" today!!! God has a plan for you life. A life full of His blessings, His abundance, and His love!! You need to believe today for all that He has in store for you and your family. Don't let the devil steal your Promised Land. Start walking in the commandments and statutes of GOD and just watch GOD move in your life. HE is faithful and just and true and He will not fail you. Step out on faith today and trust the Lord!!! "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully."-Psalm 24:3, 4 How do your hands look today? Are they clean before the Lord? Only you and He truly know. How about your heart? Is it pure in His sight? Is there anything in your heart that is not pleasing to Him? Ask Him to search your heart and inspect your hands today. Give the Heavenly Father full reign today. If there is anything that dwells within your heart that has stained your soul; repent, and let Him cleanse your soul. Decide this day to walk in his righteousness; to be in right standing with Him. "Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established."-Proverbs 4:26 Are you watching your feet today? As a mother, I constantly watch the feet of my children. I want to make sure they see that uneven patch of grass and every hole in the yard that may go unnoticed to excited little ones who are anxious to move fast. So many times, we are just like that aren't we? We are moving so fast trying to do all those things that we think we need to do that we don't see those warnings on life's road. Make sure He has established your path today. If God isn't making the path that your feet are trodding, you won't make it to the destination He has for you. Don't waste time on wrong turns, let Him be your navigator today. "Behold, I come quickly; blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."-Revelation 22:7 He is coming back soon. Are you ready today? Have you given Him unlimited access to every corner of every room in your heart. You can't keep even one closet door shut. You can't hide anything from Him. It's time to do some spiritual housecleaning. Make sure your soul is spotless today. He is coming back for a bride that is without spot or blemish. "But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses."-Psalm 68:21 God is on the battlefield today. I want you to rest assured that your warfare does not go unnoticed by the Father. The Lord God himself will wound the head of his enemies. Praise God. If you are a child of God, your enemies are His enemies. He is fighting for you today. He is attacking your greatest enemy, Satan himself. God is on your side and He is fighting for you!! "When thou saidst , Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, lord, will I seek."-Psalm 27:8 The Lord is speaking to your heart today. He desires for you to earnestly seek His face today. Will you allow your heart to answer His call? Will you take the time to get on your face before Him today? He is worthy of your time, worthy of your praise and worthy of your love. He alone is worthy of all that you have, all that you are and all that you will ever be. Don't forget that if it wasn't for His mercy and His grace, you wouldn't have even woke up this morning. You wouldn't have breath in your body, eyes to see with nor ears to hear with if it wasn't by His choice to bless you this day. Take time to remember the Lord thy God. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."-Psalm 23:1 When you are trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you do not have to be burdened with the cares of this world. God already knows each day where you will go and what situations you will face. He is the all-knowing and He is watching over His sheep. If you are His today, He will take care of you. Let Him lead the way. You simply need to follow in His footsteps. "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."-Psalm 1:3 Today is the officially start of a new season. Spring has begun and winter has ended for another year. It's always exciting to enter of new season and anticipate the change in the weather and nature. But, more important than the seasons of nature are the seasons of man. Are you entering into a new spiritual season today? Are you entering a season that spiritual blossoms are bursting forth or does your tree remain barren and without buds of life? Seek the Lord for a new season in your spiritual life. Don't ever be content with were you are because there is always room for spiritual growth. "Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."-Colossians 2:7 Are you rooted today? Is everything that you are built in Him? Anything not built in Him will fail you. It will not stand. Make sure that you are totally established in Christ Jesus today. Let Him be the architect of your life. When He is completely in control and you have committed to trust in Him, your heart will sing praises of thanksgiving no matter what the circumstances around you look like. When you are anchored in Him, you come to the realization that He is the same God who also controls the storms. "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."-Matthew 24:44 Are you ready today? Are you saved? Have you been washed by the blood of the Lamb? Of all the questions that you will answer in this life, this is the only question that will determine your eternity. You will spend eternity in one of two very real places. There is a place called Heaven. A place with jasper walls, streets of gold and gates of pearl. A place where the saints of God will spend eternity in the presence of God Almighty. There is also a place called Hell. A lake of burning fire. A place where the fire is never quenched. It's real today. You can believe it or not, but it DOES NOT change the fact that it is real. The choice is yours today. "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live"-Deuteronomy 30:19. God's Word declares the answer.....choose LIFE. It's your choice today. CHOOSE WISELY. Your eternity is at stake. "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."-Matthew 6:6 We should be wearing out the carpet on the floor of our prayer closets. Are you taking time today to enter into your prayer closet. You need to make time every day to talk to God one on one. Just you and Him. It shouldn't be just a quick blessing at the dinner table or a quick "Thank you Jesus" at bedtime. We need to spend time with Him. You wouldn't go all week without talking to your spouse, would you? Then, why go from Sunday until the next Sunday without spending time with your Heavenly Father. Remember that the Groom knows His Bride and the Bride knows the Groom. If you are part of the Bride, the prepared body of Christ that will be raptured, then you will desire to spend time with Him. "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."-Matthew 5:37 Are we guarding our tongues today? The Word of God declares that life and death is in the power of the tongue. We should carefully consider every word that proceeds out of our mouths. Don't let the devil tempt you to spout off words that will hurt others. When you are tempted to speak words that should not be spoken.....DON'T. Go find somewhere to get alone and talk to the Lord about it. Tell Him how you are feeling and leave it there. Hurtful and spiteful words will not accomplish anything for the Kingdom of God. "That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee." Proverbs 22:19 Trust the Lord like you trust no other. He alone will ALWAYS speak trust. He will never guide you down a path you shouldn't take. He will go before you and He will go behind you. You must know His voice and trust every Word that proceeds from His mouth. He will never lead you wrong. Keep listening. "And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea: and it should obey you." - Luke 17:6 Sow your seed of faith today. A seed in your hand will never grow. It will never take root or produce fruit. Yet, when you plant your seed in fertile ground and water it with care it will bring forth fruit. Are you holding your seed of faith today or have you planted it in Jesus today? If you've planted your seed, keep on watering it with the Word of God. Speak sound words over your faith seed and keep trusting God for the fruit to burst forth at His appointed time. Don't give up on your faith seed. This could be the day that it bursts forth! "But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of Nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me."-Jeremiah 3:19 Don't turn away from Him today. I know there are times in life when you may feel discouraged and you may be weary. But, it is during those difficult times of life when we need to cling ever more closely to our Heavenly Father. So many times, people turn to other things to find the comfort they need. There is no one and nothing that can comfort you like the Father can. NO matter how deep your hurt is today, keep on trusting in the Father. Don't turn away. You've come too far and you're too close to home to turn back now. ""They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever."- Psalm 125:1 If your trust is truly in the Lord today, you will NOT be shaken. The Word of God declares you shall be as mount Zion. You will NOT be moved by the lies of the enemy when your trust is anchored in Jesus Christ. He is the Almighty One! Don't let the enemy shake you today. Don't firm as the mountain that God has created in you. Keep your faith in Him and keep your eyes looking up!! "I will lift mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help".-Psalm 121:1 Help is on the way!! You may feel like you've been fighting for so long, but I want to declare to you that you are not fighting alone. As verse 2 of Psalm 121 declares "my help cometh from the Lord". He is fighting with you and for you today. Keep on holding on because your help is on the way. God will not fail you and He will not leave you on the battlefield alone. Keep on fighting the good fight! "Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."-Psalm 55:17 Is He hearing you today? Are you crying out to Him? Lift your voice unto the Lord today. Trust that as you pour your heart out unto Him that He hears you and He cares about every petition. Call out to HIm today. Let your prayers unto the Lord be continuous. The Word reminds us that we are to "Pray Without Ceasing"! Keep on calling out! You are being heard. "The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name".-Exodus 15:3 The Lord is warring on your behalf today. The Word of God declares, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" The devil has no power over you today. He is a fallen angel. Stop giving him power over your life by speaking what thus saith the Lord GOD. Start reminding the devil what God has to say about you and your situations today. Go on and remind the enemy today that you are a child of God; a joint-heir with Jesus Christ. Don't take any of the lies the devil will try to feed into your mind and Spirit. Declare the Word of the Lord today. It will set you free!!! "He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms".-Psalm 18:34 You need to remember today that your weapons of warfare are not carnal. God himself is teaching you to war. As David declared in this wonderful psalm, it is the Lord that teacheth our hands to war. When you teach someone how to do something you are training them. You show them how you would go about doing it. God is training you today. He is showing you how He himself would handle the enemy. Start taking time to learn from God today about His tactics of warfare. There is none like HIm. Who better to learn from than the Lord God!! He is a God of War! "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."-Galatians 6:9 We are fastly approaching a new season.....March 20th will be the official start of Spring. Yet, so much more importantly we shoudl continually desire to approach a new speason in the Spirit. We should always be working for the Lord sowing seeds for the kingdom of God. His Word declares there will be a harvest to reap for the kingdom if we faint not. Don't stop now. Keep on working. A new season is approaching. You don't want to miss out on your spiritual season. It's the harvest that you will reap that will glorify the Father. It's not for personal glory, it's for the King's glory. Keep sowing to the Spirit. "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God in the mountain of his holiness."-Psalm 48:1 I serve an AWESOME GOD today. I serve the great I AM. I serve the only, one true and living God. He is Alpha and Omega. He is the beginning and the end. He is the first and the last. He ALONE is worthy of my praise. Remember that He is still GOD no matter what your circumstances look like right now. You need to go on and shout the praise just as Joshua and the Israelites shouted as they marched the seventh time around the walls of Jericho. God is about to crumble those walls standing in your way. Go on and praise Him for it NOW! "Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you" -1 Peter 5:7 What does it mean to cast all your care upon him? Let's break it down to the most simplest form and see just what God is saying to us in this powerful verse of scripture. Cast means "to throw through the air". Care is defined as "a feeling of worry or unhappiness". (McMillan's children's dictionary) So, God is literally saying that He wants you to throw into the air straight to Him all that is causing you a feeling of worry or unhappiness. He can handle all of those things that are burdening your soul today. But, in order for him to catch them with His mighty hand, you must first cast them to Him. Let the cares go today. Cast them with all of your might to the Father. "Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."- II Timothy 1:6 The devil will try to come against you at times and tell you that God is nowhere to be found. He will try to fill your mind with thoughts of confusion and doubt. He is a liar. God is ever faithful and He is always there even when you don't feel Him with you. Remember, that we walk by faith and not by sight. Our relationship with Christ is based on faith and what we know is true which is the precious WORD of GOD. It is NOT based on what we feel from one day to the next. If the devil is coming against you today, put your heel to his head. Romans 16:20 declares "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly." He is under your feet today. Don't be afraid to take your heel to his head. You have authority by the power of the name of Jesus Christ. Stomp him out today!!! "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."-Romans 8:38-39 NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God. Jesus Christ paid the price for your soul over 2000 years ago. Don't you let the devil infest your mind and soul with lies. He will try to hinder you with fears and doubts. He cannot pluck you out of the hand of God. If God be for us, who can be against us? There is nothing and no one who can separate you from the unconditional, never ending love of Jesus Christ. Your past doesn't matter. Let it go and trust in the Lord. Trust Him with your soul today. "Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments."-Psalm 112:1 Praise His name today!!! As you walk down the road of life today, find joy in his commandments. Don't consider it a chore to walk in the commandments of the Lord, consider it a privilege. His Word is precious and true. The Word of God is full of power today. If you reverence Him and delight yourself in His commandments, the Word of God declares that you are BLESSED. You are empowered to prosper for the Kingdom of God simply because you are walking in His ways. How awesome and mighty is the One, True Living God. "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." -Psalm 1:1 Who are you listening to today? Are you listening to those around you? We need to be careful that we are listening to what the Lord has to say. There will be times when we will need to seek the help of those around us. During those times, it is so important that we seek the counsel of those who are walking closely with the Lord. The enemy will try to speak words of defeat and confusion to you through those who are listening to him. Be careful to listen for the Lord's voice. Seek His counsel above and beyond any other. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." -Psalm 46:1 No matter what trouble you are facing today God is your refuge. I love how the Word so explicitly tells us that He is a VERY present help. You don't have to wonder where He is because His word promises us that He is right beside us. Praise Him for His faithfulness today. Don't think for one minute that you are fighting your battles alone. God is there and He will be your strength. He alone will see you through the battles of life and bring you out victorious. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."-Psalm 34:7 Isn't it awesome to know that if you are God's child today, he has sent His angels to encamp about you? How many times have His angels kept us out of harm's way? How many times have we missed an accident by mere seconds or taken an alternate route to avoid danger? Countless upon countless times has He protected us from the attacks of the enemy. The Word of God tells us of His angels that "They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone" (Psalm 91:12). Imagine the moments that you have been held in the hands of angels. Do we even begin to realize today how precious we are in His sight? "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."-James 4:14 As you look back over the last ten years of your life, I am sure that it seems as if it has flown by. I can say that with certainty because I can also see how fast the days of my life have gone by. Have you ever known someone who became discouraged as the years passed by? Someone who seemed to let the days go by without gratitude or appreciation for the days given by the Father. Treasure each day that the Lord gives you breath. If you are still here then it's because He still has a work for you to do. Let each day be a day that you set out to seek the will of the Lord and accomplish what He desires for you to do in that day. Focus your time on what is eternal. Keep your eyes on the things the Lord wants you to do, not on the things the enemy uses to steal your time. Treasure your minutes, your hours and your days. The keeper of all time has blessed you with this day. So, make sure that He'll smile when He sees how you pass your time. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."-Jeremiah 29:11 You need to start living a life of expectation. When you rise up in the morning, begin to EXPECT a move of God's hand in your life that day. He has a plan for you life. Don't you believe the lies of the devil. He comes only to steal, kill and destroy. When he tells you that your life doesn't have meaning and doesn't have purpose, you just remind him that you are a child of the King. God has an "expected end" for you. He already knows what He has in store for you and for your life. Stop thinking that His plan won't be fulfilled. Put your thoughts under submission to the Holy Ghost today. Ask God to fill your mind with His thoughts for you today. He doesn't see defeat ahead for you, He sees VICTORY. Let EXPECTATION take root in your spirit today. "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.:-Psalm 40:1 The Father has heard your cry. He knows where you are right now and He knows all that you are going through. He cares so much about what you are facing that He has bent down to hear you. He has "inclined" unto you. You just continue to wait upon the Lord. Seek Him. Seek His will and just watch Him work. Be patient today. Give Him room to work. Don't ever overlook His hand at work in your life. He is ever working for your good. "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek."-Psalm 27:8 The most important part of your day should be the time that you spend with the Lord. He wants you to whole heartedly seek His face. He desires a relationship with you today. He wants your time. He wants communion with you today. Realize today how precious you are in the sight of the Lord. So precious are you that His thoughts could never be numbered by our human minds. "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken."-Ecclesiates 4:12 Stand together with your brothers and sisters in Christ today. We need to war against the attacks of the enemy by binding together. The Word of God encourages us to pray without ceasing and to pray one for another. Take time to intercede for the needs of others today. Pray for their miracles to breakthrough. Pray for their loved ones to be saved. Pray for their situations to turn around and their circumstances to break down. The Word of God tells us in Matthew 18:19, "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on Earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." Stand in agreement with your brothers and sisters today. IT SHALL BE DONE!!!!! DONE!!!! "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." -James 4:10 It doesn't matter what anyone says or thinks about you today. All that matters is how the Lord looks upon you. Does He look upon you and see a humble heart? If so, He is pleased. So many times, we get caught up in pleasing this person or that person or we worry about what people will think about us. When we allow ourselves to entertain such thoughts, we are placing the value of their opinions higher than our Heavenly Father's opinion of us. We don't need to please man. As long as we are walking in the ways of the Lord and His commandments, it doesn't matter if those around us agree or not. Seek only God's approval. It's the only approval that you need. "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much."-James 5:16 Is your prayer life fervent today? We need to make sure that we are taking time out to give God the time He is so worthy of today. If you are a child of God, you need to understand that God wants your prayer life to be effective and fervent. Don't give up on your unanswered prayers. Don't even think for one minute that your prayers have been unheard. The Lord heard your prayer the first moment that you prayed. Trust His ways and trust His time today. Let today be the day that you start praising Him for all that He has done that has yet to be manifested to the physical eye. It's DONE!!! So, start praising Him like it's DONE!!!! "For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of the camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."-Deuteronomy 23:14 Are you keeping your spiritual campsite clean? He is in the midst of your camp today. He goes before you and He goes behind you. He has given His angels charge over you today. He doesn't expect His children to be perfect, but I do believe He expects us to be pure. Keep your heart pure today. He is walking with you. He knows every enemy that is coming against you today. There is constant warfare all about you; yet, know the General Himself is in your camp. Do not fear the enemy today. Stay on the attack!! "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."-St. John 10:27-28 Have you taken time to listen for His voice today? In order to hear Him speak to you, you must first be listening for His voice. He knows you today. He knows you better than you know yourself. Don't think there is one thought that has ever crossed your mind that He hasn't known. He knows you intricately. He knows you inside and out. He knows all the places in your heart that you would rather hide. He knows all your weaknesses and your shortcomings; yet, He loves you so. He loves you so much that He sent His son Jesus to die on that rugged cross so that you could have eternal life. You must trust Him and trust His word. There is no one that can ever remove you from His hand. You can choose to jump, but He will never willingly let anyone remove you from His hand. If you are His child, He is with you today. He is watching over you and His eyes are ever upon you. "Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God....."-Deuteronomy 11:26-28 It's up to you today. The Lord has set His blessings before you this day. They are there to empower you to prosper, but it's your choice today. His blessings are there; yet, we must choose to obey His commandments in order to receive His blessings. You can choose not to obey Him, but you will never be satisfied in your soul until you sell out to Him. Why would you choose to be cursed, when you can choose this day to be blessed by the Great I AM. He wants to bless you today. Obey His commandments. Walk in His ways. You will begin to overflow with the abundant blessings of the Lord. "Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations."-Deuteronomy 7:9 I love how the Lord sought to establish His covenant with Noah. The Word says in Genesis 9:9, "And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you." God wants to establish covenant with you today. Once you have surrendered your heart to Jesus Christ and you have entered into covenant with Him, I promise you that God will NOT break His covenant with you. My God is the faithful GOD. Keep His commandments today and love Him with everything in you and He will be true to His Word. He is the great I AM. His Word will never fail and His faithfulness is everlasting. "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."-Acts 22:9 They saw the light, but they didn't hear the voice of God. So many times, we see the light of Jesus but we aren't listening for His voice. We need to take time to get still before God. Time to be quiet and listen for His voice. He isn't always going to speak to you in a thunderous voice. I believe there are times that He will whisper just to see how closely we are listening to hear His voice. Don't be complacent in your walk with Christ today. Always strive to draw closer to Him. Desire to know Him more today. He is speaking.......are you hearing Him today? "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." -Philippians 1:6 Our lives are constantly under construction if we are ever growing in the Lord. Be confident and know that God is always working in you and for you if you are His child. He will complete in you what He has begun if you will give Him the "reigns" of your soul. You may not understand at times how He works, but just know that He is ever working. Sometimes when a new construction takes place, old buildings have to be demolished to make room for the new building. Similarly, there will be times in our lives that things must be torn down to make room for what God desires to accomplish in us. It may be things that we have built up in ourselves that were never part of His plan for us. Be willing to let Him be the architect of your life. SEE ARCHIVES FOR PAST DAY'S WEAPONS |
