Day 56 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

It is Written,“This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
.
“This is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” If I learned one thing about living in Christ, it is the knowledge of the flesh and Spirit. Though your Spirit will spend eternity somewhere, your flesh is destine to return to dust. So we find this truth about the Flesh, “For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever!”  We can not let our present troubles supersede the destiny we have in the Lord! “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.” Believe in the Glory of Heaven. God has set for us a beautiful place where we shall spend the rest of eternity with him.
.
“For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.” This is the truth of the Lord that we hold on to. When we call upon the Lord, we as for the Spirit of Joy in every situation. God’s Word assures us that our troubles will not last always and that Joy will soon come. It is by the renewing of the spirit daily that produces this ever lasting hope within us. Don’t look at your situation today and say it is Lord of your life, but lean unto the promise that God has set before you. God is always here to remind us that his Grace is sufficient through every situation.

“And there was a woman in the crowd who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years. She had spent everything she had on doctors and still could find no cure. She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you. “But Jesus told him, “No, someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” When the woman realized that Jesus knew, she began to tremble and fell to her knees before him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Luke 8:43-48

 
“And there was a woman in the crowd who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years. She had spent everything she had on doctors and still could find no cure.” For years, this woman was seeking for an answer to her problems. She spent everything she had going to people who she thought could cure her. But how many of us used to do the same? Trying to find answer to life problems every where and still left without an answer or with the problem solved? “She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.” Just a fringe of his robe and she was healed! I know many have read this before, but many may miss the power that this verse speaks of. This woman who spent all she had everywhere else, found complete healing from a corner of a robe of Jesus. See you must understand that it was Her Faith in knowing that she could be healed, but her Faith was not manifested until she came into the power of the Lord. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you. “But Jesus told him, “No, someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” I praise him, because he is worthy. If we today would make a stance to deliberately touch the Lord, how much would his power work in our lives! How many prayers that go up compared to how many blessings that comes down. Out of hundreds of People who were touching them, only one who touched the Hem, Fringe, the end of His robe was healed!
.
“When the woman realized that Jesus knew, she began to tremble and fell to her knees before him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” When you have Faith and Believe, it is God’s promise that we are made well. We have live changing Faith within us. If by Faith, this woman called upon the power to leave Jesus to heal her, how much so are we called to operate in the same capacity? There is a healing power that is available 24/7 to us and if we can gather just a mustard seed of Faith to touch the fringe of his robe, think of the deliverance that is guaranteed in your life within this hour in Jesus Name.

Day 54 Colossians 3:15-17

“Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace and always be thankful. Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.  And whatever you do or say let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.” (Colossians 3:15-17)

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” When I was doing my daily reading yesterday, I came across this verse. I had a long day at work and really was just tried from the day’s events. When I read, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,” I repeated this several times over. I noticed then that I accepted the Word into my heart and could physically feel myself stat to relax. I know some may not see the importance of this, but as we read in the next verse we can see why we are called to be at peace. “For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace.”  Then I started to realize and understand the principle and point of this verse. As one body of Christ, we are all tied into each other like an arm is connected to the hand.
.
Have you ever noticed when you have a pain in one area of your body, it affects the body as a whole. I remember many times when I sprained or broken a body part and how it changed and affected the rest of my body. God has Called us to be at peace, so as the Body, we shall have peace. It is always hard to understand the importance or role we play in the Kingdom of the Lord. We always want to believe our actions only affect ourselves and no one around us, but the reality is, just like a dominoes effect, your emotions bounce off of others.
.
Let us today be conscience of these things. If we are to be true examples of the Lord, then we must walk in his way. “Use his words to teach and counsel each other.” We are blessed richly with the Word of the Lord. As this is the case for many, let’s make it a point to counsel and teach others with what we have learned ourselves. Let the peace and Joy reign in your heart. For the Joy of the Lord could never be replace by anything we can find in this world. Peace comes to those who seek the inner sanctuary of the Lord. Rest within him, for there is a place of sound mind that the Lord wants you to be. “Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankful hearts.”  Once you have experienced the Joy of the Lord, watch as your body sings the praises of the Father. Rejoice in the Lord! Be Renewed In Jesus Name and seek to Gods Peace. Blessed is the One who knows he is truly Blessed with the Peace of the Lord.

Day 53 Hebrews 11:5-6

“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying-“suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”(Hebrews 11:5-6)
.
“It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying-“suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” When I read this, I think Enoch was a Man of God who walked with more than a Mustard Seed of Faith! Can you image one Sunday your pastor getting up in front of the Congregation and preaching the Word of the Lord and then telling the Church that God was going to take him up to Heaven? Think about it, every Sunday service, after he delivers the Word, he tells his congregation that he will soon depart from you until that one Faithful Day the chariot of Fire comes among you and he is gone. I am not talking about Enoch now, but Elijah who was another Man of God who did not taste Death. But how is this possible? It was Faith in the Power of God that these men lived such righteous lives that they were taken up. “But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God. So, you see, “it is impossible to please God without Faith.” Never lose your Faith! Always remember your tongue has the power of Life and Death.
.
I have had many people contact me and tell me that they are losing their Faith, or lost their Faith. I have said before how news like this deeply saddens me even more than persons who has passed away. With Faith, all things are possible! But without Faith, you can not be pleasing in the sight of the Lord. You are not your flesh and the sins that may come forth. You must have Faith and believe that God has better plans for your life. Beloved, stop looking at the natural and the world around you to receive validation of God’s purpose in your life! I know it is hard, but if you live by the standards of the world, you will die by them. God purpose for you is ever present. I know many of you are struggle in your own Faith in what God is Calling you to do, but just don’t give up. I heard it said once by a Pastor that he rather have 10 percent of the full vision 10 percent of the full vision. There is a difference, because you are not limited in your Faith.
.
“Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Sincerely seek after the Lord! Never give up on Faith, because God isn’t ready to give up on you. Be encouraged everyday to strive after what God has for you. I know this life is hard and that is why we can not do it alone. Call upon his name through the storm and never stop believing. Though we may struggle, I never forget His Name and when the time comes, I know He will not forget mine!

Day 52 Joshua 1:3-9

I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you … No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.”(Joshua 1:3-9)

A great many of us are living a lie. Even though we are faithful in are daily works for the Lord there is a deep upon deep hungering in our souls to be greater. Many of us feel this way because we have not seen the greater things Jesus spoke about within the natural world. I have always been amazed to see healing and miracles break out at a evangelistic event, but I know God has called us to Acts of The Spirit that no man can deny. Lord has placed within me a vision of signs and miracles from even the lest of the believers in his name.

There has to be a breaking point where we put behind the natural world and enter into the realm of The Spirit. My prayer today is that everyone who has a deep upon deep yearning for the greater Acts of The Spirit continually pray in Faith in the name of Jesus name. I pray all strong holds that may be in your life be Broken in Jesus Name! I also pray for The Spirit to overcome all obstacles. We are called to be warriors in God’s Kingdom, but what is a Warrior if we do not see victory? I pray that Mantle of Victory Be upon you in this hour let none who ask go without the Lord’s Blessing.

” Words are Wise, but Actions speak Louder!”

“Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions. It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before the Lord, even if our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.”(1 John 3:18-20)

.

“Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions.” I truly have a heart for The Lord. I say this because God has shown me from time after time that his Grace and Mercy is sufficient for every man and woman. I have heard story after story about how God has worked in different people’s life around the world. No matter the race, language or color; God has provided for all. Gods’ Word is more than just words we read on a page; they are Words that produce Action. When God says it is by Faith that we receive our blessings, it is not an empty promise. For the Bible says that God’s Word will not return Void which means there is a real force and power behind it. So what does this mean to us? That there is a standard that God has set that we should all follow; let us not speak of love, but put it into action.
.
“It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before the Lord, even if our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything.” I know it may sound crazy to most, but even if we feel in our hearts that we could have acted more in Love, God knows us better than we know ourselves. It is with the passion and desire that we seek after the Will of the Lord that God himself has put inside of us. For the heart does not know the Will of our Father in Heaven. The time of speaking in Love will never change, but let us pursue the action of Love above all things.

” A Reminder!”

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth.  Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.”(1 Peter 1:12-13)

.

“I plan to keep on reminding you of these things-even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth” A long time ago, while I was praying and reading the Word of the Lord, God started to speak to me. I had yet started to write these daily devotionals and at the time that he put it on my heart that I should. After awhile of God urging me to move forward, I simply told the Lord that why should I write devotionals when there are a million and one other people who are already writing them daily! Then that is when God said to me, “you aren’t the millionth and two and there is something inside of you that has never been inside of anyone else!” Taken back by this statement, it took me a long while to understand what God was talking about. No man is alike, even though you may have a twin or someone similar to you, you are still you. God has blessed us with life because we have a purpose. If God can make millions of different animals on the earth to serve a purpose, how much more do we as His children have a  greater destiny says the Word of the Lord.
.
“Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live.” I believe this to be true, because sometimes through the struggle and trails, we simply forget the promises of God. As long as my lungs have breath and my spirit within this body, I will preach the Word of the Lord. God has blessed us with everything we need, so this should be a reminder of His Love to the Body of Christ.

“Thoughts and Actions!”
.
It is written,“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. “ (2 Corinthians 10:5)
.
“We break down every thought and proud thing that puts itself up against the wisdom of God. We take hold of every thought and make it obey Christ.”  Living in order with God starts from the Inside. A life of transformation begins with our daily thoughts. “We take hold of every thought and make it obey Christ.” Our greatest weapon in combating the enemy is the Word of the Lord. We daily awaken to a battle field. And not known to most, is the battle field of our own minds. God has given us victory over all obstacles in our way, but it is how we perceive these things that give us victory.
.
A man within his mind will wake up for work; because he knows that he will be reward will be given him to live. His employer has stated in writing that he will be paid a certain amount if he works the amount hours a day and certain days a week. If he is late, he gets a warning, if the work is not done, he has to stay overtime. Once a man works overtime, he is paid extra for finishing the work. On holidays, if the man works, his employer pays him a double portion. When a man is being promoted, he will train his replacement in his ways so that he may take his new promotion. When a man is found to be faithful in his work, he is called upon to be a manager. As a manager a man is called to delegate work to those who he is over. Once those who are below him have been shown to be faithful and add to growth of the company, the man’s territory is expanded. All these action all began as a thought the size of a seed that was planted.
.
When a man is faithful in his thoughts, his actions are blessed. God has written contact with every man, and by God’s Word, shall receive the payment by His work in the kingdom. We are kingdom minded people, so I plead today, let your heart be focused on the work that God has given you in your life, because even on holidays, our work is awarded with a double portion of the Lord Blessing.

Day 48 Colossians 2:16-19

“Tradition of Men!”
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, Christ himself. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this. These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud. But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.” (Colossians 2:16-19)
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new-moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.” We live in a time of spirit and in truth. It is in Gods Word states that we should not condemn anyone who holds certain days or holidays as holy. “For these rules were only shadows of the real thing, Christ himself. Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on self-denial. And don’t let anyone say you must worship angels, even though they say they have had visions about this.”
 “These people claim to be so humble, but their sinful minds have made them proud.”  We must understand that we are all the body of Christ. We each have a part of the body that we operate in. I knew of many who have been mislead by teaching that were false. Many filled with pride because they Worshiped the Lord on a certain day or named their Church a certain name which gave them authority and power. Through all these things, people must understand it is just a shadow of who Christ truly is. “But they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For we are joined together in his body by his strong sinews, and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.” Do not feel condemned by man, but renewed by the Spirit o the Lord. Never let the Truths of man way against, because it is the Lord that ultimately will judge your heart.

Day 47 Psalms 103:1-4

It is written, “Praise the LORD, I tell myself; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He ransoms me from death and surrounds me with love and tender mercies.” (Psalms 103:1-4)

 

“Praise the LORD, I tell myself…” I, like most others, have a hard time rejoicing and praising the Lords name through the storm. It seems like when you come under attack, it is easier to get upset at the situation to the point where you are more frustrated and upset than praising the Father. As I was reading this Psalm, I realize something very key. David here was telling himself to Praise the Lord. I think many times when we are going through trails and tribulations we just expect the Joy of the Lord to comes and consume us, but in reality, we have to Praise him to receive the Spirit of Joy.

 

“Praise the LORD, I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me.” In your time of struggle, it is easy to look at the current situation you are in and forget the times that God has rescued you. Our Father is Faithful! He can do nothing but stand upon his Word. Let us not forget the goodness of the Lord in our hour of Suffering. He has delivered us; is delivering us and will continue to deliver us in Jesus Name!

 

“He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. His ransomed me from death and surrounds me with love and tender mercies.”  Now this part is what excites me the most! First, when we come to God, He forgives us of our sins! that in itself should be forth praise and rejoicing! Every sin is forgiven. I want you to go through your whole life, every time you have failed, every sin you have committed and in Jesus Name, IT IS FORGIVEN! I don’t care what it is, take hold of what the Lord Died upon the Cross for you to Receive. If you were to die in this moment, let it be known that with your last breath you prayed for forgiveness, that the cleansing on the Lord was the last thought that ran through your mind. Some times we hold on to the lies of Satan, but Let the Truth of Forgiveness prevail! But I am not done yet, there is another part that come after forgiveness of sins, for you are not dead yet! It is written, “….and heals all my diseases!” Who in this hour is afflicted? If you prayed that all your sin have been forgiven, they why aren’t you claiming your healing In Jesus Name! Claim it! Claim the victory that comes with forgiveness! No where in the Bible does it says that we are to still suffer if we have repented and received the forgiveness that comes from Christ Jesus! We do not have to live in pain, we do not have to live in fear, for God is calling us to live only by His Word and His Word is Freedom! Be Free in Jesus Name, stop letting Satan rob you of the Life God has given you. In this hour I pray you stand upon his Word. It is written, ” His ransomed me from Death and surrounds me with Love and tender mercies.” After forgiveness of sins, we are healed of all diseases. After we are healed of all diseases, He ransomed us from death and surrounds us with Love and tender Mercies. Our Father who is in Heaven Loves you. If you carry one word, one memory verse or anything from what has been spoken from the Bible it is this, ” He so LOVED YOU he gave His ONLY Son!” What sin, what disease or what Situation could ever be greater than this!? Nothing, nothing is greater than this sacrifice. It took Abraham to the point of nearly killing His only son to realize the thing he waited 100 years to come from was not worthy, So what do you think you have going on in your life is so much great? I want you to focus on that, focus every sin you have ever committed, what disease in this hour you suffer with that is greater than the glory of the Lord. Speak it out loud and see how foolish it is. Nothing is greater than our God, He has given all for you to live and my prayer is that in this moment, you let nothing rob you of this gift given to us by the Blood of our Christ Jesus.
