Light Up!
John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (NIV)
Christ Jesus came to the earth to light up the world and the question is how. To help us, we have put it in a way that we can easily remember and relate with. We have come up with the acronym “L.I.G.H.T”. L stands for Let Us In On Who God Is. Read the rest of this entry
Open The Door
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (NIV, emphasis added).
The first prison Jesus is The Door for us to exit from is the Prison of Pretending. The second is the Prison of Unforgiveness. And the third prison God wants us to exit is the Prison Of Fear. Fear always locks people out of your life. I have heard people say, ‘I will never let another man hurt me like this again’, Read the rest of this entry
It Is Finished!
Colossians 2:14-15 “eliminated the massive debt we incurred… that stood against us. He took it all away; He nailed it to the cross. But that’s not all. He disarmed those who once ruled over us… He put them on display to the world to show His victory over them by means of the cross.” (Voice)
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday, which is Ephesians 2:8 “Saving is ALL his idea, and ALL his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to FINISH!” (MSG, emphasis added). It was not your idea. Read the rest of this entry
Deep Breaths
1 Kings 19:1-3 “…Ahab… told Jezebel everything Elijah had done. including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal. So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you…” Elijah was afraid and fled for his life…”
The name Elijah means my God is my breath. How close is your breath? So, since God was with Elijah, what would have happened if he stood? Where will God be? Right there with him. Jezebel would not have been able to overpower him or even kill him because God is right there with him. Read the rest of this entry
In The Name
Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds…”
Jezebel needed those false prophets to uphold her tyranny and her manipulations. Jezebel needed to surround herself with those eight hundred and fifty false prophets to be who she was. The false prophets were Jezebel’s backbone and Elijah took all of them out. Read the rest of this entry
Just Stand!
Ephesians 6:13 “…and having done all, to stand.” (NKJV)
Does the Bible say after you have done everything, after you go through all you are going through, sit, or throw a pity party, or throw a tantrum, or write to protest letter to God? God says after you have done all – Stand. Standing just means standing. But a lot of people do not want to stand. Read the rest of this entry
Stand
Ephesians 6:13 “…and having done all, to stand.” (NKJV)
When have you felt the lowest in your life and how did you handle it? Or are you at what you will consider your lowest right now? God has a Word for you in season. Philippians 4:4 “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! ” This is God’s heart, Read the rest of this entry
Eschol
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
The first of the four guaranteed valleys is The Valley of Siddim. The Valley of Siddim is the Valley of failure. The second Valley is The Valley of Eshcol. The Word of God says in Numbers 13:23 “When they came to the valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes so large that it took two of them to carry it on a pole between them! They also brought back samples of the pomegranates and figs.” Read the rest of this entry
Your Response, III
Psalm 27:1 “Yahweh, The Lord is my light and my salvation, my revelation-light and the source of my salvation — so why should I be afraid? I fear no one! The Lord is my fortress, protecting me. I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me.” (NLT, TPT)
Psalm 114:1-7 “When the Israelites escaped from Egypt—when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom. The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away. Read the rest of this entry
