Freedom!

Bondages are a state of being a "Slave" to a "Master". The bondage occurs psychologically, emotionally, or physically by permitting a person to be in some form of restraint or held hostage. Bondages come in all type of forms, which consents us to wear many masks or show many different faces. Bondages are a trick of the enemy to keep us from reaching our full potential.
 
God wants us to look at every area of our lives and begin to pull off the layers: the layer of addiction to drugs, the layer of alcohol addition, the layer of sex addition, the layer of condemnation, the layer of unforgiving, the layer of overeating, the layer of too much shopping, the layer of lying, the layer of adultery, the layer of fornication, and layer of cursing. God wants us to acknowledge our words and actions so that we can begin to transform our viewpoint. He desires us to put on the Spirit of truth, love, encouragement, a sound mind, and freedom! Live in Freedom!
 
Our Father, we are forever grateful for Your love, kindness and new mercies today. We thank You. We praise You in advance! We honor You just because of who You are! Today Father, I pray that each person recognize his or her heart is the wellspring of life. Father permit them the desire to walk in Your truth and keep their heart pure. I ask You to protect their heart from garbage that creeps in and keep their mind in chaos. Father when the trails come, command them to stand boldly, firmly, and strong with their focus on You, and You alone.
 
Father, our most Gracious God. I ask that You unattached each person from all relationships that are not ordained of You. Bind all relationships that are not of the Spirit. Abolish all relationships that based on control, domination, or manipulation. In addition, hinder all relationships based on deception.
 
Father, Your Word says, "I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You" (Psalms 119:9-11). Father, God free their mind of unhealthy cells, bring to an end ill spoken words with their tongue, take authority over their distressing memories, eliminate the crooked path of their feet, shut evilness from their eyes, halt ungodly things in their ears, close the idleness of their hands, and anything that is distracting them from the focus on Your Marvelous Power.
 
The Bible says, "The Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edge sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joint, and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). Father because You understand their innermost thoughts and know all their secrets, command them to live holy and pure before You. Chivalrous God, when they look at their challenges, assist them to seek Your promises in the Word and rejoice for freedom and give You the glory. Command them to walk in Freedom!
 
I love them Father, but not as much as You do. They are the apples of Your eye! I give You the honor, glory, and praise!
 
In the Mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen!
 
Much love,

Excitement!

Have you ever wondered if your thoughts affect your attitude and moods? Yes, it does. What we speak can make or break our day! But when God speaks to us, it's for our good. He knows what will give us joy and what will make us gloomy. When we think on negative thoughts, it affects our attitude and makes us miserable. And usually what happens is when we are unhappy we usually make the people around us miserable.
 
Let's take inventory on a daily basis and ask ourselves what have we been thinking? One of the biggest problems, we have in this world is negativity. This problem did not just start; it's something that has been around for a long time. Negativity will not only drain you mentally, it will also drain you physically. In the past, I have been around people that label themselves as God's children, and in the nature eye appear to be led by the Spirit, but when it came to real life situations they were extremely depressing. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV), states, "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things". We are to take God's Word and renew our mind so that we will not conform to evil habits of this world.
 
The negative opinion of self and others can cause a significant rebellion among people. We tend to think or respond through our humanity and accept the opinions of others as fact. We must be especially careful when voicing our negative opinions about ourselves and others. What we say may heavily influence the actions of those who trust us. Our mind plays a vital role in our victory. We must realize that it is the power of the Holy Spirit working through the Word of God that will bring victory into our lives. Being extremely careful with whom and how we share our problems, our weaknesses, and our concerns give place for caution because some people do not have the compassion or the capacity to have our best interest.
 
We are responsible for everything that comes in our mind and out of our mouth. Negativity starts and ends with each one of us. If we are negative, it's our problem. We are responsible to do something about it!
 
If we change our mind, we can change our life!
 
Much love,

Speak!

Spoken WORD carries what you want from life. What if Jesus came to you personally and spoke, from this day forward whatever you say I will perform exactly what you speak; how would you respond? Would that change what you say? I believe it would. God says, "You can have what you speak, but we are complaining about what we have". God's WORD doesn't change. Speak His Word and watch things change. Psalms 89:34 says "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips".
 
We can loose blessings or gain curses by the words that we speak. A lot of times, we let words come from our mouth that destroys the work of God. Then we cry out, "God, why me?" Don't blame God! We must stop speaking words of defeat and sending negative signals in the atmosphere that will affect your heart and mind.
 
So many of us make the same mistake over and over by allowing what the world speaks to be what we speak. When we do this, we are establishing the present circumstance or condition into our mind, heart, and also into our body. We are not to speak what the enemy speak and destroy our own inheritance by corrupt communication of unbelief and fear. Romans 12:2 says, "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect".
 
We say, 'Nothing I do ever works, nobody loves me, or I am sick and tired, you are just like your daddy, I am so fat, I am not pretty, and I can't do that.' These idle words are seeds you are sowing. And idle words open the door to the enemy. Jesus said in Matt. 12:27, "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
 
If God said let there be light, and it was! There has to be power in Spoken WORD. Watch what you speak over yourself and see your life change! Speak what you want! And if the people around you don't want to here it, then change your surroundings!

Triumph!

Heavenly Father, We come with excitement, laughter, gratitude, and seeking the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth! We know that You are real. We know that You have power and pure love. We know You are pure in thought, intent, and motive because You truly care for us.  We thank You! We thank You! We thank You! We love and adore You, our Most Gracious Father.
 
Father, thank You for being our Shepherd, we do not want. Thank You for supplying all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Jesus. Father, we do not fret or have anxiety about nothing. We are redeemed from the curse for Jesus bore our sicknesses and carried our disease in His own body. By His strips we are healed. We forbid any sickness or disease to operate in our body. Every organ, every cell and every tissue of our body functions in the correct order in which You created it to function. We have the mind of Your Son and hold our feelings, purposes, and thoughts of Your heart.
 
We are believers and not doubters. We hold fast to our confession of faith. We are walking by faith and not by sight. Our faith Father comes by hearing and hearing Your Word. We know that Your Son is the author and the developer of our faith. We truly desire and seek You. We will keep ourselves in the kingdom of love, in light, in Your Word, and the evil one will not touch us. We are overcomers because we are born of You. We believe we are Your workmanship recreated in Your Son. You are effectually at work in us both to will and do Your good pleasure. We know that You who have begun a good work in us will continue until the day of Your Son.
 
Your Word shall not depart out of our mouth. We meditate therein day and night. We will make our way prosperous, and we will have good success in our life. Thanks be unto You who always cause us to triumph!
 
May You bless us and keep us, You make Your face shine upon us and be gracious to us; You lift up Your countenance upon us and give us peace. To our Father be the Glory according to Your Will. We praise You in Jesus' Name. Amen.
 
 
Much love,

Blessings!

Most Gracious Father, I come to You this morning with love, admiration, honor, thanksgiving, gratefulness, and praise unto You. We are forever grateful that throughout Scripture we are told, "You are a forgiving God, filled with masses of love, gracious, compassionate, and amazingly patient with Your children. We are grateful that You sent Your Son to save and seek the lost. We thank You for Your presence in our lives.
 
This morning Father, I ask a remarkable blessing for Your children. I ask that You grant them divine healing now in every area of their lives, mind, will, emotions, spirit, and physical being in accordance with Your Divine Purpose for their life from the original plan You intended. I ask that You bless them beyond measures and increase their territories. Father grant them the oil of joy for their mourning, spirit of praise for their heaviness, sweet sleep for their rest, and a fresh new release of Your favor, love, and compassion.
 
Father fill them with Your blessings, anointing, gifts, and all else You have for them. Father enhance their spiritual eyes so that they can see clearly. I ask that You give them a new heart of understanding to be led by You. Father help them to boldly speak about Your goodness and awesomeness. I ask that You strengthen their confidence. I ask for a full measure of Your blessing upon them so that they can be a blessing to others. Father let Your children know how precious they are to You. 1 Peter 2:9 says, "You are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." Your Word said that when You speak, Your words do not return to You without accomplishing what You sent them to do. Father give Your children the knowledge and the capacity to comprehend the visions you have for their life.
 
God pour out Your anointing on them. Let them receive Your anointing in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Let Your love shine so brightly through them into others as an act of worship to You. I ask that Your Anointing destroys and break all yokes of bondage with all their mind, ego, thoughts, desires, and emotions. I ask You to abolish and confiscate all vain imaginations, deceptions, and any demonic strongholds that are in their mind. Father cast them aside and send them back from whence they came in the Name of Jesus.
 
Father, I ask You to destroy any words, influences, declarations, and decrees that have been spoken over them, their marriages, their children, their finances, their businesses, their ministries, their grandchildren, and their homes. I ask the weapon that is formed not prosper because they do not conform to Your will for their lives.
 
Father I have prayed today according to John 14:14, "If you ask me anything in My name, I will do it." I ask all these things in the Mighty Name of Jesus and seal it with His blood. Amen.
 
Much love,

Strength!

Most Gracious Father, I come to You this morning with love and thanksgiving in my heart because of who You are. There is no one greater than You. Our Prince of Peace, our Lily of the Valley, our Bright and Morning Star, Alpha and Omega and the Love of my life. I pray for myself and everyone that You will send forth Your Word to heal and deliver us from destruction. Father this is between You and each one of us that our worship flow to You! Allow our worship to resonate in our heart to hear Your voice.
 
Father remove the inner emptiness of loneliness. And fill us with solitude of inner peace. We desire to cultivate an inner silence that allows us to know that we are never alone. Father, 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Even in the midst of chaos and confusion, we will sense and feel Your presence. We take You on Your Word that You will never leave nor forsake us.
 
Gracious Father can you grant us inner stability from the inner turmoil? Can You expose the root of our hurts? Will You pull the strongholds up from the roots? Father, we ask for Your help in identifying the spirits by name so that we can call and cast them out! We know the name of Jesus has supremacy and authority over every name. Lord some of the roots are so long and deep that we need Your power and strength to sever the personality from its origin. Terminate every root of abandonment, anger, addition, adultery, alcoholism, anxiety, bitterness, brokenhearted, control, familiar spirits, headstrong, jealousy, insecurity, perfectionism, unforgiven, and prideful spirits in the Name of Jesus.
 
Gracious Lord can You teach us the discipline of when to be silence and when to speak? Grant us control and wisdom when to seek Your counsel or wise advisors. Let us operate with the attitude to complete what needs to be performed when it needs to be done. God assist us to examine the character of what we think and how we act. Help us to refuse the enemy at the onset and not let him into our space. Father because You are with us, we are going to take a firm stand against every plot, tactic, and plan of the enemy that has been set up against us and our families. We are going to speak and put Your Word on him. We are going to take him by the neck and remind him of whose armor we are wearing. Holy Spirit arrest the enemy's strategies: disorder, distraction, and disagreement that seeks after your children with Your glory.
 
I pray that Your blessings rest upon us today. I pray that we are pleasing and obedient to receive the abundance of life that You promised. I ask that Your grace and mercy guide us as we go about our day. I pray that we have favor with You. And allow Your blessings to grant favor with man. We believe this prayer by calling upon You knowing You will show us exceedingly and mighty things in Jesus' Name. Amen.
 
Much love,

Rejoice!

Heavenly Father, we thank You for this day that You have made for us to rejoice and be glad in it! We pray to You according to Matthew 6:9-13, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." Let us forgive other people when they sin against us, so that You, heavenly Father will also forgive us. Father, we honor and adore You. You are Sovereign, Peace, Love, Wonderful Counselor, Gracious, Great and Awesome!
 
 
This is the day that we decided to stand in the holy place and see Your face in all that we do. Lord build us up with the power to take authority over everything that comes in our way to take us from Your presence. Father, we will not allow anything to rule over our life today. We know You love us, You hear us, and no weapon that is formed against us will prosper because You have caused us to trample over the enemy. Lord, we will live by the living water that will bring forth fruit in this season. We know that You love us, so we thank You for Your mercies this morning! Today Father, allow us the courage to totally surrender to whatever purpose, and in whatever way You require of us. We are here seeking Your face to be filled with Your grace, refresh us with love, and take our heart and fill it with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and sincerity.
 
Lord just as You told King Jehoshaphat in his battle, Your Word is telling us that when we are faced or confronted with impossible circumstances, "Do not be afraid or discourage because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God…You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you." Therefore, God, we will continue to trust, pray, and wait upon You. God, we will still shout praises even when we are hemmed in troubles, because we know that we can cast all our cares on You, for You care for us. We have faith to speak and declare to those mountains to be moved. We have faith to declare peace into our lives. We have faith to declare and decree that we shall live and not die.
 
Father, we thank You that Your Word is knowledge, instruction, and wisdom because of its truths. You promised to impart wisdom to us if we will listen to Your Word. Lord superimpose Your wisdom this morning so that we will be able to discern Your will. You said in Your Word for us to ask for Your wisdom. James 1 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you". God, Your Word said that there is both strength and wisdom in You. Therefore, this morning God hear and see our heart. We are asking You for wisdom. Would you grant wisdom to us, Your children today? We come boldly to the throne of grace believing Your promises to us that You will give it to us! We thank You for Your exceeding greatness.
 
We seal this prayer in Jesus' Holy Name, to God be the Glory. Amen!

Covered!

Our Lord, I come to You in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We come with praise and thanksgiving. We come with humility and gratitude of Your love. We present to You ourselves, our families, and all that belongs to us. We thank You this morning for covering us last night! We thank you this morning for allowing death to pass by our door posts. We shout and dance today because You covered us! Amen! Hallelujah!
 
Father when our pain is public let us handle it with integrity. When our stress is internal let us drop the pride and seek help! When our troubles of the past come, pull up a chair, and sit with us allow us to keep pressing forward looking to the hills for our help! Let us remember our past is just that 'Our Past'. It can no longer hold us back. Let us be like Paul when he said, "It is in my weakness where I get my strength from God". Let us acknowledge our weaknesses and turn it over to You to work it out! Let the Holy Spirit set us free and change us. Father grant us the strength to believe that no matter what, You have us covered. You can cover all things: our health, our bills, our worries, our lack, and even us from ourselves. We ask you to expose inner thoughts of self-rejection, self-hatred, and bitterness towards others. Father release us from our excuses and everything that takes us away from You.
 
We come with authority and the power of the Blood of Jesus binding the power of Satan's demon and all dominion of darkness seeking entrance into our lives. We abolish unhealthy choices and renounce all relationships dishonoring to You. We abort the power of soul ties over our minds and emotions for ourselves and for our families, friends, our marriages, our singleness, and our associates. I declare Your freedom to Your children today. I declare that we live as You intended for us to live, to be lenders and not borrows, to be the head and not the tail, to be above and not beneath, to be a conquer and not a victim, and to be filled with overflowing light and not darkness.
 
Father teach us to pray Your Word and not our worries. Teach us to hear Your promises and not our problems. We pray this prayer in faith believing that our faith will release what we are declaring and decreeing. Today, we will not drag through life negative, defeated, feeling alone, left out, and forgotten because we have authority to speak in the power of the Holy Spirit. We woke up this morning prepared for victory. We woke up this morning knowing You have pleasant things prepared and planned for us! Use us Father to be a blessing to others, because even though we messed up You can use us to help others. We know according to Rev 12:1l, "They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life so much that they refused to give it up."
 
Heavenly Father, we sealed this prayer with the Blood of Jesus Christ knowing that You cause everything to work together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose for us in Jesus' name. Amen!

Break Free!

You have heard the saying, 'Don't sweat the small stuff'. A lot of people spend way too much time, energy, and thoughts on petty, insignificant, trivial, and minor things. We are to ignore people talking about us, lying on us, and gossiping about us. These nooses are a trick of the enemy and a waste of your time. Sometimes not realizing these snares are used as ignition to set you off the deep end to angry outburst that blows things way out of proportion. What is actually being required of us is change. Change to focus on being set free from what people think about us. What people think about you should not control your day! We give people way too much credit and our time. I believe change is an opportunity to grow. Change is not easy. It requires some action on our parts. Change can be uncomfortable, but it's necessary.
 
When deciding to change we must know that it will challenge us to stay the way we used be. It may seem overwhelming when we look at the whole picture of our life. But we must remember that God requires us to change so He can take us from glory to glory. We must be motivated to change. I am reminded of a statement by George Mueller that said, "The first thing I do each day is make myself happy in God." That means set your mind that no matter what, I am determined to enter into each day with a focus on what God says to change. A day that God's help is available to keep me from falling back into my negative patterns that used to govern my life. I will focus on what God has said about me and not sweat the small stuff.
 
I never want to go back to my life in defeat or concentrate on what other people say about me. I am fearless, because God used my brokenness to bring me to a place of ministry and authenticity that I would have never known. It was not until I stop sweating the small stuff that God released in me the ability to have a true servant attitude of humility and compassion for His kingdom.
 
I still have a long way to go, but I have put the enemy on notice: he may try to make my life difficult, but he can never make me give up or quit. I am a child of God and so are you. We may be forced to make some radical decisions and choices which will require us to possess a steadfast mind, 'I am not going back to the way it used to be'. We have been held prisoner, controlled by negative and misleading thoughts, and destructive behavior for too long. We are being set free today. Break free from what people say about you, break free from what you say about yourself, and live in freedom with what God has promised you!
 
You are free!
 
Much love,

Surely, He Can!

Worry! Worry is an inside job. When we worry we are being anxious and pulled apart in different directions. Worry of this kind strangles us, and it has some physical consequences. Worry causes neck pain, ulcers, headaches, back pain, depression and other negative elements. Worry has a significant way of affecting our thinking. If anybody had an excuse to worry, it was Paul. He faced so many burdens of the church and so many burdens of his own. He even faced the possibility of death. Instead, Paul took the time to explain to us the secret of victory over worry. He told us in Phil 4:4-7, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." God has already given us the correct anecdote for worry and that is to have a secure mind in Him. We are to come into our life battles as a warrior standing firmly on the Word of God. God doesn't need a rehearsal. He doesn't need practice. He is able to take the worry away! He is able to do what He said.
 
The Word says not to worry! He can deliver you! I am a witness! Paul was full of joy because He knew that no matter what happened to him, Jesus was with him. Amen! I believe ultimate joy comes from knowing Jesus dwelling within us. We are not to be anxious over anything. I believe the peace of God shall keep our mind and heart. To acquire this peace, we must meet the conditions that God laid down for us to follow. They are right praying, thinking, and living. We are to be careful for nothing, which means don't worry! I know we have worries in our homes, on our jobs, in our children schools, or even in the church. But Paul's advice is to turn our worries into prayer. God's peace is different from the world's way to live. He wants us to pray about everything and worry about nothing. I can assure you, God will give you peace in the midst of a storm.
 
So today, if you are reading this devotional, you can say, 'Surely, He will deliver me'. Did He make a way out of no way? Surely! Did He keep you? Surely! Did He heal you? Surely! Did He give you peace, joy, and love? Surely! Did He save your marriage? Surely! Did He deliver you from drug and alcohol abuse? Surely! Did He forgive you? Surely! Did He allow you another opportunity to get it right? Surely! Did He put food on your table? Surely! Did He give you new mercies this morning? Surely! Then He can take away your worries. I am reminded of this old hymn "God Will Take Care of You," written by Civilla D. Martin (1869-1948):
 
Be not dismayed whate'er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.
 
No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
Lean, weary, one upon His breast,
God will take care of you.
 
God will take care of you.
Through every day, o'er all the way
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.
 
Lean and depend on God for Surely, He can!

Shattered Pieces!

 
"I am sorry. I thought I was a new Creation, not the shattered pieces you knew," I felt like saying. I was allowing the cares of the world to overtake my renewed mind. I was experiencing a spiritual encounter of self-talk or excuses, "I know I've got issues or I am a sinner saved by grace. A new place, new environment, or a new job will really help me right now. 'Out with the old and in with the new and I will be happy.'" The real problem is inside of us, not outside of us. We are shattered pieces in this game called life.
 
It's strange how we never need to rationalize doing the right thing, not in our minds or to anyone else. Virtue stands on its own, single-handedly, while doing wrong usually involves intricate attempts to rationalize something deep down we know is absolutely wrong. Jeremiah 17:9-10, says, "The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But, I God search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are not as they pretend to be." Anytime we allow our actions or words to affirm our rights or highlight the strength of our passions to get what we want over God's unchanging standard of truth, we are living a dangerously life. We can make whatsoever justifiable, it seems, if we feel strongly enough. We never go to the root of the issue. God wants us to pull it from the root!
 
A lot of times, we let circumstances like stress, ruined relationships, drug addition, wounds of the past, deficits in our childhood, lack of affirmation, lack of hugging and touching, or being unappreciated be the fuel that ignites the fire of self-destruction. You remember the old nursery rhyme:
 
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
 
Maybe the kings couldn't put him together again, but we know someone who can. Due to the deficits from our childhood a lot of us are split in many fragments. We are a million little pieces. And nothing we tried on our own has taken our million little pieces and made us whole. But when we surrender to God, I can assure the story ends different.  God's children sat on a wall. God's children had many great falls. But all of the Trinity – The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, gave God's children the ability to live again.
 
The Bible promises freedom from even the most unshakable of prisons. When we come to God, He cleanses us from all our filthy sin and takes all our million little pieces and makes them brand new, undamaged goods and whole in His eyes. He gives us a new heart and makes us a new person. This gives us an opportunity to know that God goes with us and He will never leave us nor forsake us. Then we are no longer shattered little pieces! Pull it from the root!

In Jesus' Name

 
Father, we come to You in the name of our Lord. Holy Spirit, we pray that You will quicken us to hear and obey You. And because You allowed us to come into Your presence, we come with praise and thanksgiving. We come to You in gratitude, with humility, in fear or Your awesomeness, and in love. This morning Father, we present to You ourselves, our families, our jobs, our neighborhoods, our churches, and all that is associated with us.
 
We abolish and bind the power of any demonic assignments spoken or sent against us and pronounce them to be of no effect in lives. I ask You, Father to expose and bring to light, strongholds, soul ties, stress, sacrilegious, scapegoats, self-will, shame, slander, and slothfulness that stand in our way from doing Your will. I decree the ways and works of darkness over Your children to be broken and annulled.
 
Father remove the temptation for us to quit. Father grant us the knowledge and skill to recognize temptations as a work of the enemy. We take Your Word and release ourselves free from the bondage of generational character defects. We break all authority of self-rejection, bitterness, self-hatred, and ungodly relationships over our emotions and our minds. We proclaim our freedom to be all that You have created us to become and live as You intended.
 
I pray with thanksgiving that there is no longer any condemnation to those who are in You! We will delight ourselves in the You, our Lord, and You, our Lord, who give us the desires of our heart. We know You, our Lord, will rebuke the devourer for our sake, and no weapons that are formed against us will prosper. All obstacles and hindrances against us are dissolved. Father, You are our Shepherd, and We do not want, because Your Son came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
 
I seal this prayer with the blood of Jesus. Amen.

 

Much love,

He is our Keeper!

Father, we know that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct us, Lord, but please be gentle. I ask that You give each of us the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. We ask that the strength and might of You, to be involved in what you want us to do today. Please help us not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or a spoken word.
 
Father implant in our hearts: We are doers of the Word. We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ. We are overcomers. We overcame by the Blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. As we speak Your Word, we know it won't return back to You void, but accomplish what it was sent to do.
 
Father, thank you for being our Healer, our Jehovah Rophe. I declare that You have more than enough healing power and will supply all our needs. Father teach us to exhort one another today. Help us to never criticize, condemn, or complain because they are weapons that kill, steal, and destroy. Give us the tongue of the learned and let us speak a word to anyone that is weary in this season. Let out mouths speak wisdom and the meditation of our hearts be of understanding. Let our speech always be with grace and seasoned with love. Let us be slow to speak but quickly to listen.
 
Father, we know that You did not give us the spirit of fear. We know that faith produces the substances of things hoped for, the evidence of things from the Word of God.
 
Today, Father, we are going to look to the mountains from where our help comes from. We know our help comes from You. We know You will not let us stumble, slip, slide, or be shaken because You are our keeper! We thank you for watching over us last night as we slept. We bind any hindrances or blockages that would keep us from believing every Word of God.
 
We are going to lift our eyes to You by trusting You and turning our problems over to You in faith. Father, I pray each of us will hear Your Voice today for our families, friends, co-workers, churches, and schools, that we will follow you and not be deceived.
 
Father, I ask that You, loose Your angels for protection around our families, houses, cars, properties, jobs, in great authority to guide, protect, guard, and minster to us. We ask our assigned angels to continuously drive out, force out, and keep out all plots and plans as we go about today, In Jesus' Holy Name. Amen!

Are We Keeping It Real?

Our values influence our character. If we place more importance on our comfort level than our character, our trails or storms will upset us. When we start to value tangible items and physical relationships more than inner beings or spiritual relationships, we will not be able to discern the importance of our creation, to be used as an example. Spiritual reality effects proper relationship to God through His Word. And God's Word is truth. When we are rightly related to God through His Word, it is hard not to see change in our lives. It becomes difficult to see things wrong and not have the Holy Spirit inside of you reject the words or behavior of those out our alignment.
 
 
In the last three weeks, I have been asking God, "What has caused me to become extremely BOLD for You?" As I reflect, it's only because of His Word. I am by no mean portraying to have it all together or assume the identity of a holy saint. I have issues and situations just like others! I daily have to repent for my thoughts, my ways, and my actions. I know that I am not capable of handling life storms and people without His Wisdom. I want to do right, I sometimes do wrong. I need to think on those things that are pure and wholesome, I sometimes don't. I know an effective prayer can be heard by God, I occasionally seek the wrong advice. However, I can tell you daily my heart cries when I do not follow the responsibilities outlined in His Word.
 
Just hearing the Word is not enough anymore. I want to be a doer of the Word. Many people have the mistaken summation that hearing a good sermon or sitting in Bible study is what makes us grow and receive God's blessings. It's the doing that brings the blessings, not the hearing! Too many people highlight their Bibles, but their Bibles never highlight them!
 
I don't want people to give me Scriptures that they have not used. I need some applications behind those Scriptures. It amazes me how we can read or hear about people's concerns in the Bible, on the news, TBN, Enquirer, People's Magazine, News Week, Essence, and Ebony and yet won't allow people to read or hear our real life issues. I have noticed a lot of people want to keep it real with others stories but not our own. Or better yet, we run to the nearest conference or event to hear a Word from God, when He can tell us. What has happened is that we have placed our trust in man, not God.
 
I am reminded that things are not what they seem. God wants us to trust Him and only Him. He wants us to stop saying 'keeping it real' but stop and discern our attitudes and motives behind our words and actions. There are several things we should do as we look into the reflective window of God's Word. First, we must take a peek and carefully examine ourselves according to the Word. Second, look seriously at what we see, and then look again and make sure we are seeing our heart. Finally, ensure we are obeying what the Word tells us to do, hearing in just not enough!
 
If we are going to keep it real, then let's be REAL!

What Are You Doing Today?

The only time we have is now! God wants us to make the hours of our day count! We are to live on faith "God's System". God designed us to be unlimited! He pulled us from Himself and transferred to us His potential. Inside each of us is enough power that can turn this world upside down.
 
Often we focus on the past not realizing those things that are behind us has no motivational for us to press forward and end up stuck.  We have so much untapped potentials, talents, and abilities inside of us that are waiting to be released. God says you have gifts and abilities, it is in you somewhere. We are not to be satisfied with where we are now! We are to always be looking for the next step. Why? Looking to the future with its demands allows you to tap deeper inside and release what He has promised you. The Word of God says, "It shall come to pass".
 
God knows what people can't see, and He proves what He says. If God says that you are victorious, you are victorious, If God says you are the head and not the tail, you are the head. If God says you are healed, you are healed. If God says be not weary, you are not to worry. If God says it will come to pass, you are walking in your best days now. I am a living witness that it shall come to pass. I can tell you God is faithful to do what He said He will do. Hold on this morning knowing that your labor is not in vain. Everything that He said shall come to pass. He is waiting for us to respond to and appreciate how faith works. A lot of times, we are so used to living from what we see, hear, and touch that we have considerable difficulty moving in the realm of faith. What are you doing today?
 
Are you focused on your illnesses, finances, lack of, or depressed thoughts that are weighing you down and neglecting the many blessings God has promised you? These promises should have a greater impact on our lives than our current situations or emotional struggles. Faith requires us to function by believing first, instead of seeing or feeling. God wants us to look at the darkness and see the light. Faith is essential, not an option. It is a must! It is an absolute! We must remember that what we speak must follow what we believe. Words themselves have no power. Only when words are accompanied by faith can they reveal God's desires in our lives.
 
What are you doing today? Don't you know faith makes things happen! Many of us are trying to live without faith causing so many of us to live shipped wreck lives. Faith will lift you above the outward manifestation of your life. We have to become the change we want to see. We will receive whatever we believe. If you expect nothing, you will get nothing. Began to reject the garbage from others or ourselves that discourages us to take our eyes off what God has promised. The closer you get to the finish line the harder you are going to have to fight. Set your goals, aim high, and let no one or nothing stop you! Let me ask you one more time, "What are you doing today"? Today, I believe that you are going to make it. You are making plans that you will receive the promises that He has promised. Today, I believe that you have been favored by God! Today, believe in God and in yourself. Say, "Today, I am living out my full potential because as long as God is on my side I can't give up. Today, I am releasing myself to God, and I am walking out this journey so that He can use me because I am a winner!"
