Let Go!
John 3:27 “John answered, A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing, he can take unto himself nothing] except as it has been granted to him from heaven. [A man must be content to receive the gift which is given him from heaven; there is no other source.]” (AMPC)
Jesus says in Luke 9:23 “…If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” You have to take self-righteousness, self-confidence, self-deception, self-centeredness, self-hatred, and nail it to the cross. Read the rest of this entry
Pay It Forward
Matt.18: 33 “Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’”

Stop Lying!
Act!!!
Rom.8:13 “For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live” [with emphasis]

Gal.6:14 “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.” [with emphasis]

Die Daily
Gal.6:14 “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.”
Two things from yesterday’s devotional that we must not forget are;
