Good Morning Sunshine! God Is Giving You Your Second Wind, To Get To Moving!

Exodus 14:21-26,28-31 NIV ~ “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, [22] and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. [23] The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. [24] During the last watch of the night the LORD looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. [25] He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The LORD is fighting for them against Egypt.” [26] Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” [28] The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived. [29] But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. [30] That day the LORD saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. [31] And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.”

Today’ scripture is longer than the devotional! All I can hear God saying is, I’ve Giving You Your Second Wind, Now Get To Moving, You Have Work To Do! Read and study all of Exodus 14!

The Lord told Moses to stop crying and to start moving! Moses had to go into prayer with God. Prayer is the most vital part of who you are, and you need to give it the proper place in your life. It is time for you to take action, stop crying, pick up your feet, look up and get to moving, as you being to look up you will see God looking down at you. As a matter of fact, He had already gone before you and started preparing your new place! Stop procrastinating, for you know exactly what needs to be done in this season, God has already showed you and told you. But instead of you moving out, you rather continue asking God for more guidance as an excuse to postpone what you are supposed to be doing! Today, I’m sure that you know what you should be doing, is time to start moving! I know that you think there is no way of escape, but the God has created a dry path through a wet sea just for you to walk through!

Yeah, sometimes it might seem like it’s too much happening, or you may feel like you are not going anywhere, or there is no way out, but God is saying “don’t panic; I’m opening up a way for you, just keep moving forward!” Think about what He did for His children, now recognize how much He loves you, the seabed went straight to dry ground, it bypassed the muddy phase, so that your way would be easy! God is always protecting you! Pay attention to the shifting of the Angels of God who had been leading (in front) them with the clouds and fire, now they stood behind them as a guardian, preventing them from being overtaking by the Egyptians! God sends His Angels to watch over you, He will put a fire and a cloud between you and them so that they cannot see you, He got your front and back, (Psalm 91)!

God is fighting on your behalf today! And your enemies know it now, and it’s too late for them to turn around. God will allow your enemy to follow you so that He can take care of them, not you, you keep living your Holy and righteous life before Him and keep moving forward, (Romans 12:19!) As the Egyptians tried to escape, the Lord, brought chaos among them and broke their wheels off of their chariots so that their way would be hard and then He caused the sea to flow back to its original position and it covered the entire army, and no one survived (14:28!) Pharaoh defied the God of creation and God’s creation wiped him and His Army out!

In your time of consecration and sanctification you are being delivered from all that has held you back. Your deliverance is a true revelation of the character and nature of God, because not only does your enemies recognize who God is, but you do too, you get to know Him personally! You see His Hand at work in your life as you encounter His faithfulness towards you. You see when true deliverance takes place, you are able to see God and His Power at work, which is His very nature! It is a culmination of the Mighty Acts of God, that have shaped your understanding of who He is! And He is God and there is nobody else like Him!

This new place with God is more than what He gives to you, it is who He is at the center of your core! And this is what you will tell your children and their children, and it will continue being passed down throughout the generations forever. They will know and remember the story of how God led you through the sea and brought you out on dry land! Today, God is eliminating everything that has tried to stop you from moving forward! He has sent His Angels to stand between you and them! And the Egyptian that you see today you will see no more, for the Lord has dealt with them! Now Get To Moving, You Have Your Second Wind and You Have Work To Do!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for rescuing me! Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and thankfulness for You fighting for me, when I’m aware and when I’m unaware, thank You. Father, as I go about my day, help me to lean on You, Your Word, Wisdom, Guidance and Promise, knowing that I need only be still so that I can see Your hand at work in my life. Father, help me not to complain as I’m crossing over onto dry ground. Father, strengthen my faith to trust in Your timing and Your plan. Father, help me to quiet my mind, still my soul, and find rest in Your unchanging love. Father, let Your peace envelop me, for You are my Blessed Assurance and You are assuring me that no matter what I face, I am never alone because You are always fighting for me and You go before and behind me, covering me on every side, every day, and I’m grateful. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Do You Want To Be Filled With The Wind Of The Holy Ghost? Or Are You Just Full Of It? 

John 3:8 NIV ~ “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” 

Acts 2:1-2 NKJV ~ “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.”

I was listening to a sermon by Kevin Wallace, and it let a fire under me as he gave the analogy of the box fan and the Wind of God! You do know what that is correct? It’s a fan made like a box and if you ever went to your grandmother’s house as a little child you know exactly what it is! This fan could cool a whole room in the evening, and the sound it made is one that will always be a memory for you. In this sermon, Rev. Wallace could not find the fan, but he had an app that sounded like a fan! But no wind! This app was a counterfeit for the original. I mean, sometimes all it takes is the appearance of something being real, and we will take this and run with it! The thing with this counterfeit, it sounded good, it may have even looked good, but there was no evidence of the wind! 

As for you, when you try and perpetuate as a Christian, you look good, you sound good, but there is no evidence of change in your life, there is no fruit! (Matthew 7:20, “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”) Fake and phony can never replace real and authentic, no matter what you do! When you have the real Holy Ghost in your life, you will fill the wind of the Holy Ghost upon you! And this means that you have consecrated yourself before God and you are choosing to live a Holy and Righteous life! 

As you have been consecrating yourself this week and going through the sanctification process, I want to know if you need a revival in your soul? If your answer is yes, ask God to let His Wind blow upon you, for when the wind the blows, there will be movement. For the Holy Spirit is like the wind and when the Holy Spirit blows into your life, something has got to change! Wind cannot be seen, but the effects can be felt and hear, just like the Holy Spirit, you can’t see but you know it’s there. You can feel the effects of His Presence and His Power. For on the Day of Pentecost, the sound filled all the house where they were sitting, and the wind of God cover each one of them right where they were!

As you consecrate and sanctify yourself before God, you will feel the Anointing of God, fall all over you like a Mighty Rushing Wind, blow wind blow! When the Holy Ghost, comes in the Room, it brings deliverance to the room and it sets the captives free, (Luke 4:18)! This is freedom like you have never known or felt before! When the wind blows, it will remove the silence out of you and expose what you have been trying to cover up! No longer will you be bound, and your soul will be saved, (Galatians 5:1)! When the wind of the Spirit of God blows upon you it blows life back into you again, and you will no longer lack Power from on High! 

For when the Wind of the Holy Spirit blows on you, it will cause your vision to come alive with the life of God! Now if you like your quiet and quaint relationship with God, you are in for some noise, because you see when the Holy Spirit’s Wind blows, it is not going to be a quiet affair. It is going to be a powerful force that brings sound and sweeps downward from Heaven like the roaring of the sea!and your fruit will be seen by others after the wind blows! 

Think about the wind and breath of God like this, when God formed man, He formed him perfectly, but he wasn’t alive until God breathe life into him (see Genesis 2:7)! So, you see you were lifeless until God breathed His breath of life in you! Just like when the Church was assembled on the Day of Pentecost, it had no power until the Holy Spirit was breathed into that place. The Wind came in loud and exploded upon everyone that was gathered there, and the Power of God came upon all of them and they all were empowered by that Mighty Force of Wind! 

You see it was at that moment of the wind blowing that the exchange changed, and the Holy Spirit moved in! You see the Holy Spirit brings change like the wind! Did you know that energy is produced by the wind blowing and when the Holy Spirit moves in this manner, He supplies Supernatural Energy that will empower you to do what you could not naturally do on your own, but now you can since God has blown His Supernatural Wind of His Holy Spirit on you! 

I want you to know that you cannot fake this! Either you are filled with the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, or you are just full of it like the Fan App! You look good and sound good, but there is no power in you and it is evident by your lack of fruit that you are producing, (John 15:4)! When the Holy Spirit comes in, He’s like a whirlwind shaking loose that which needs to fall from you, something in you is about to change! And this is not a fake it until you make it moment, this is real! Get real before God, He’s waiting for you at the Altar of Consecration! Do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit or just be a form? Today, you need to really look at yourself and see what the wind needs to blow away so that when the Wind of God blows on and over you it will be able to settle in and become established in you! 

Let’s Pray: 

Father, I thank You for the blowing of the Holy Spirit that came to empower me and to make me alive in You and to represent You well on the earth! Father, I’m asking You to blow Your Wind upon me, upon my family, my church, my job, my neighborhood, my city, my state, my world and the nation so that they all will moved by the Holy Spirit and be Supernaturally empowered to do the work that You created us for from the beginning! Father, I decree and declare that I will not be satisfied until the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit has blown upon me today and has given me fresh manna, a divine life and divine energy, for I know that without You I can  do nothing, but when Your Spirit blows upon me suddenly I am empowered to do what I could have never done before. Father, right now I am opening myself up to the rushing mighty wind of Your Holy Spirit.  I am ready to receive a fresh infilling of Your Divine Winds and to empower me for Your Glory and Service. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! Father, I Want To Live A Holy And Sanctified Life For You!

John 17:19-21 NIV ~ “19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. 20 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

Yesterday we read about consecrating ourselves before we could go to the next level! Well, you can’t just stop there you have to sanctify yourself too! Yes, you must consecrate (your choice) yourself God before you become sanctified (God’s Work)!

What is sanctification? It is a work of grace that is received through faith in Jesus Christ’s Blood. It is a process that begins when a young the (believer) is regenerated, given a new nature, and continues to grow in grace. And in order to be sanctified, you must choose to consecrate yourself first to God, and this is the process that you started yesterday. Keep this in your mind, consecration is the quality decision you made to keep yourself separated and holy unto the Lord. And Sanctification is your willing act of separation unto God. You consecrated yourself when you made the conscious decision to surrender and yield to God with your whole heart! You chose to God’s Will over your will!

I have a question for you, have you ever gotten a stain on your favorite outfit and no matter how much you washed it the stain wouldn’t come clean? And then you tried it one more time with a different cleanser and it came clean.  Well, think about your life before Jesus, you tried everything you know how to get rid of the stain (sin) but no matter what you couldn’t do it, until you tried Jesus! His Blood cleansed you. (I can hear the words of this old song, I Know I’ve Been Changed, by Lashun Pace, “Somebody said how can a brown cow eat green grass and give you white milk? Huh, well, if you think that’s something God’s chemical laboratory of redemption took my, my black soul and dipped it in red blood and I came out white as snow”, Isaiah 1:18! The Blood of Jesus Christ cleaned you up! This is your shouting moment, you should be singing Glory Hallelujah and saying Thank You Jesus!

Do you like putting on dirty clothes? No, you don’t, you want clean clothes on! Well, when you don’t repent and ask God to cleanse you from the inside out, you are only surface clean. And nobody wants to be surface clean, I mean you look good from the outside, but on the inside, you are filthy! None of us can be holy on our own, we need God! He does the purifying and sanctifying work in your lives once you have made the decision to be consecrated unto the Him! I’ve come to tell you that only Jesus Christ can clean you from the inside out, will you let Him? As a matter of fact, everything that happened to you was God working on you, it was done to draw you closer and closer to Him! It’s designed to conform you into the image of Jesus Christ! In everything that you walked through it was God working through you and He’s working on you right now through the process of sanctification and it’s all for your good! God is sanctifying you for righteous living and this should be good news to your ears and heart! Leviticus 20:7 ~ “Sanctify yourselves therefore and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.”

As I live and learn more about God, I’ve come to know that we are in this world but not of this world and that we are commanded by Him to stand out and be different! As His child you are to act and think differently, to have separate values and views, from those in the world in everything that you do (Deuteronomy 14:2)! You and I were made in the image of Jesus Christ, so we are supposed to resemble Him and stand out and not look like anyone else, because we have been chosen, (2 Peter 2:9) redeemed and sanctified by the truth of God’s Word! There can be no distinction without separation; if you remain like the world, you will die like the world and that is not what your Father intended for you! But until you change your natural desires from the world to wanting the Word of God and be transformed, (Romans 12:2), you will never change or be different and no one will be able to tell you apart from an unbeliever in the world because your habits are similar to each other (1 John 2:15-16)!

I mean just because the whole world is doing a thing doesn’t make it right. God’s standards and ways are higher than the world, they are the same every day, they don’t change, they are the one constant thing that you can trust and depend upon all of the time! 1 Thessalonians 5:23 ~ “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The principles of God cannot and will not be changed to suit you when you want to compromise the Word of God to fit into the world. You must be a believer every day and all day, you don’t get a holiday or time off just because! For when you compromise, your destiny is no different from theirs, you cannot walk on both sides of the fence, you have to make a choice (Joshua 24:15)! I’m praying that the Grace of God would give you what you need in your character to stand for God, even if you have to stand alone, you must make the Word of God your standard and not man’s word! Be determined to be different in your character and your conduct from the unbelievers in this world!

I just have one more thing to ask you, can you imagine watching a movie that showed what your sin history looked like? Every bad thought, idol word, contrary behavior that went against what He told you not to do, those hidden sins, even those that you thought you hid from yourself, every sin, every day, all day long and day after day.  No one would want to see this movie over and over again, yet Jesus Christ, sees everything that you do, and He is the only One that can wash you clean through and through and give you His Mercy and Grace! When God washes you through and through, He gets rid of everything, and the perfect peace of God becomes your portion! Others should be able to tell the difference between you and an unbeliever! Shouldn’t they? God has giving you His statutes and He’s calling you to do a new thing, to be Holy, to be Consecrated, to be Sanctified, to be Different and to be Set Apart for His Purpose and Only your Lord and Savior can do this, “Trust The Process of God, as you continue to consecrate and be sanctified before God!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, search me and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts and remove anything from me that is wrong. Wash me through and through, until I look just like you. Father, I choose to consecrate myself on your Altar, burn off everything that is not like You. Then Father, may I be Sanctified by You and for Your Glory. Thank You Father, for forgiving me and cleansing me from all unrighteousness. Keep my mind and heart clear that I may hear from You at all times. Father fill my mind with good thoughts as You mold me into the image of Your Son Jesus Christ. Father may Your peace encompass me today as I draw near to You! May You continue to sanctify and washes you through and through! Please make me holy. Please make me look more like Jesus today. I pray Lord, that You will continue to work through every circumstance in me and that I will encounter You today in my life and that my life will never be the same because of what You have done for me, in me and through me, it’s for my good and Your Glory! In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! Consecrate Yourself Before The Lord! This Is Required Of You Before You Can Go To The Next Level!

Exodus 32:29 KJV~ “For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.”

What is Consecration? It is giving yourself to the Lord and becoming a living sacrifice for God! It was best said by Paul in Romans 12:1! But just so you know, Consecration is your responsibility, it’s your reasonable service unto God to Consecrate yourself! True Consecration is to be set apart, to be holy and used strictly for God and His service, to be Consecrated before God is for you to decrease, dethrone yourself and to let Jesus Christ be increased and be Enthroned in your life as your Lord and Savior! It’s in this place that the process of dying and rising, of self-discipline and the renewing Power of the Holy Spirit is taking place in you. Paul described it this way, “For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh” (2 Corinthians 4:11).

Our God is so Good, as I was preparing this devotional, I saw this scripture (Joshua 3:5, “And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you. “We have got to stop underestimating God’s Power to teach us while we are going through the process! He took a moment to teach me about Consecration in the process of going through! As I was praying Jesus was in pursuit of intimacy with me, He was up close and in my personal space, stepping on all of my toes! To God be the Glory, for there is no One else who can cleanse you from all unrighteousness!

You need to know this, before you enter your Promise Land, you must go through a purification ceremony. This is done before you make a sacrifice (you have to surrender and yield to God for the process to work) this must be done before you can witness in this next great act of God! God says to Consecrate yourself before the Lord, so that He can do those amazing things He’s been waiting and wanting to do in you! But He can’t do it until you move out of the way and consecrate yourself, you are in your own way, please move out of the way, you are holding up His progress!

Once you consecrate yourself and sanctify yourself to God He will do things in you, with you, for you, and through you that will amaze you! Your job is to consecrate, to be set apart, to be different! You are no longer just going to church every Sunday, paying your tithes and offering, and pretending that you are worshipping for others to see you and hear you, it looks good from the outside, but nothing in your heart has changed, doing all of those things are good and are a part of the process, but it’s not consecration, but if you just want to look good, you are accomplishing that!

When you’re Consecrated for God, you surrender your whole self to Him, you deny your flesh and you die to self, for you realize that every fiber of your being is for Him, every single second that you are breathing is because of Him, every move you make is because of Him, everything you have, your clothes, shoes, home, car, food, job, family, friends, and money yes, money, every single penny that you have is because of God, He gave you gifts, all because He loves you!

So, tell me why haven’t you totally Consecrated yourself to Him? Today is good day to start, repent, release, and consecrate yourself before the Lord and watch out for those amazing things that are going to start happening in your life!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, Thank You for purchasing me with Your Blood, making my body a temple of Your Holy Spirit and now I present every single member of my body to You as a living sacrifice an instrument of righteousness to be used by You and for You! I repent right now of every time I abused my body, and I surrender everything under the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ! Father, I Consecrate not only my body, but my thoughts, my words, my emotions, and my actions to You today and every day. Father, hide me in Your secret place and hold me close to You! Father, I have put all my trust in You and my life is in Your Hands and there is no better place to reside, than under the wings of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Father, I ask all this in Your Mighty Name. Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! Just Lay It On The Altar And Let His Fire Fall Upon Your Heart!

Psalm 5:3 TPT ~ “At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart.”

I love early morning, be it sunshiny or raining! And the smell of a good cup of coffee is the topping! When I pour my first cup, and before I take a sip, I inhale the fresh aroma, and it smells so good! The aroma lingers and every day and I relive how good it smells to me, and it stirs my memory that is beyond my understanding of just how much I enjoy that cup of coffee!

But how much better does your offering unto God smell, a pleasing aroma to Him! This is got to be how God feels when our prayers go up to Him! Can you imagine it, you have taken time to be with Him and no one else matters but Him, now you are prepared to pray to your Father and give it all up to Him, on the Altar and wait for His fire to fall on your heart! Right in this moment your prayers are ascending up to heaven and it smells so good going into the nostrils of your Father! Yeah, I know, just the thought of how this works is beyond your understanding, you can’t even begin to explain it or comprehend how the sacrifice of your prayer offering becomes such a sweet-smelling aroma unto God’s nostrils, that is made by you and breathed in by Him all day long with love, it’s because He loves it when you pray to Him daily!

Have you ever thought about how somethings that you smell are pleasing and then there are other things that you smell. they make you sick instantly when you smell it! You do know that is how God feels about sin, He does not like the scent of sin or disobedience in His nostrils, it stinks. This is why you should lay it all down on the Altar, Numbers 15:3 ~ “and you offer to the Lord from the herd or from the flock a food offering or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing aroma to the Lord.” But thanks be unto God that your prayer scent, your repentance scent, and your thanksgiving scent all hold a special and specific place and meaning to God! Today, God is not only exhaling and breathing on you, but He’s inhaling and breathing on you too!

Build a place of worship, where you can go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, it’s a place where you be in God’s Presence and offer Him you in undistracted worship, as a holy living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), it’s the place where everything is acceptable and pleasing to God. Your life should be lived on the altar of worship. This kind of worship transcends the thought of just going to worship, it means you are in attendance and fellowship, this type of worship represents Jesus Christ as the head of your life, this type of worship is a sweet and pleasing aroma to God!

How do you build an Altar before God? You build it by listening to God’s voice, believing Him, and obeying Him, and then your worship will be a sweet aroma that flows upward into the nostrils of God and then He will release His blessings and promises on you and your family and everything that you do will be blessed! Build an Altar of promises from God that flow into your life. When you are obedient, God responds to you with His absolute best! When you are pleasing to God, He accepts your sacrifices and offerings. Every day, you should take time and build an altar of sacrifice, prayer and worship to God!

Today, let go and let God, build yourself and Altar before God, it’s the place where everything that you do will be like a sweet-smelling aroma that will fill you up with Him and for Him. Build a place of sacrifice! Lay it all on the Altar and let His fire melt away everything that would grieve Him from your heart. For you do know that your mouth is connected to your and heart, “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14!

For your tongue is a bucket that draws from the inner reservoir of your heart and brings it to the surface for all to hear! You will get your heart right when you lay it at the Altar and let God have His way! What you place here should cost you something, (you, your time and effort and your efforts) salvation is free, but it cost you, you to walk in sanctification!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Father, today I offer You my life as a living sacrifice on the altar where I pray that You will hear my voice; and answer me as I will prepare my prayers to You and I’ll wait and watch as You speak to my heart. Father, I love setting and sitting in with You in this moment of in Your Presence. Father, I give You all of me, my health, my finances, my family, and everything that I treasure and desire! Father, consume me in Your love, cover me in Your mercy, empower me with Your grace, and grant me Your Peace as I walk throughout this day because I laid everything on the Altar before I started the day that You allowed me. I’m grateful! In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! When God Delivers You, Who Will You Tell?

Mark 5:1-2,6,9,13,18-20 ERV ~ “Jesus and his followers went across the lake to the area where the Gerasene people lived. [2] When Jesus got out of the boat, a man came to him from the caves where the dead are buried. This man had an evil spirit living inside him. [6] While Jesus was still far away, the man saw him. He ran to Jesus and bowed down before him. [9] Then Jesus asked the man, “What is your name?” The man answered, “My name is Legion, because there are many spirits inside me.” [13] So Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the man and went into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs ran down the hill and into the lake. They were all drowned. There were about 2000 pigs in that herd. [18] Jesus was preparing to leave in the boat. The man who was now free from the demons begged to go with him. [19] But Jesus did not allow the man to go. He said, “Go home to your family and friends. Tell them about all that the Lord did for you. Tell them how the Lord was good to you.” [20] So the man left and told the people in the Ten Towns about the great things Jesus did for him. Everyone was amazed.”

Please read Mark 5:1-20 while you are doing this devotional!

Today, you no longer need to be ashamed of what you have done! If you repented and gave it to God, He has forgiven you and He will not remind you of it again. There is no shame or condemnation, you were bought with a price, the Blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:20) and the promise of that is you are no longer bound by chains! Forgive yourself and use your testimony to share with others. For if someone knew you before you were saved and they can see the new you, they will know that a change has come over you! You have been cleansed, washed (1 Corinthians 6:11) and transformed (Romans 12:2) by the Blood of the Lamb and your testimony (Revelation 12:11) is proof of it! Can’t nobody tell your story like you!

There was a demon possessed man that people knew from city to city, and they stayed away from him and that area. This man’s role was not to simply to enjoy Jesus Presence, but to tell everyone he knew what Jesus had done for him. Today and every day that God gives you breath, this is what you are suppose to be doing.

There are two types of people and two very different responses when it comes to seeing a miracle performed by Jesus that we see here. One group just wanted Jesus to get back in the boat and leave, they didn’t get the encounter that took place through deliverance, they only experienced what happened to the pigs. They begged Jesus to leave, for His response to the Gospel was too much for them. They desired peace and quietness, they wanted a natural response, nothing spiritual!

But Jesus came there and got out of the boat for one reason, to set that man free, (Jesus came to this world to set you free)! He came to expel the real spiritual uncleanness from Israel, not by natural conquest, but to rid them of the legions (demonic spirits) but by spiritual conquest (to deliver you) through the power of the Gospel that He preached and taught them about the Cross on which He died for you and me! He showed them what it looked like when Jesus heals you, and because of that, the man wanted to go with Jesus! As a matter of fact, he begged Jesus to let him come, but Jesus had something greater in mind! The man’s testimony would do more, because people all around the cities knew him before as that man! Now they will get to know him because of The Man! So, they will know that it had to be Jesus that did it. (There is a difference between knew him and knowing him, think about this in your relationship with God, either you know Him personally or you knew of Him because of what someone has told you. Just a little food for thought!)

Jesus is calling you to mission greater than what you can understand, and it is not up to you to understand but to obey and go. God wants you to fulfill the great commission, (Matthew 28:18-20). He is calling you to stop the silence and tell your testimony of what the Lord has done for you! Somebody needs to know that if God did it for you, He will certainly do it for them to, because He is no respecter of person, (Romans 2:11). God worked that thing in and out of you on purpose, and He did it for His glory and not what’s best for your flesh! (I know it was hard and it have even been ugly, but God, He uses everything, nothing is or was lost, Romans 8:28)! You must trust God and His Word, stop trying to figure it out or go ahead of Him!

God knows what’s best for you over what you know, especially when it doesn’t make sense to you. If you only follow God when it makes sense, then you are not operating in that faith, that’s all you and your flesh! The demon possessed man did what Jesus’ said, even though he wanted to be with Him, but Jesus needed him to proclaim the Gospel instead of just being a spectator! This man chose God’s plan over his, yes, his plan was good, but it wasn’t a God plan. I know you like to be in the background with others as they minister and give their testimony and maybe tell yours for you too, but somebody needs to hear yours, (I’m speaking to myself in this), you need to open your mouth, speak up and out!

As you give your testimony, some might ask you for all the details of what happened and how you got free only to choose to remain in their same space, don’t worry about the negative people. Just remember how most places Jesus went the people were bombarding Him, but the folks here just wanted Him gone, immediately. They were not ready to be free, they could only hear and see the negative of what happened to the pigs. You did your part you planted the seed, and someone else will water it and God will get the increase, (1 Corinthians 3:5-9). God has a greater plan for you, He has different places and spaces for you to occupy!

When you choose to follow God’s plan over your own, God will give you step-by-step instructions and what action needs to be taken. So, how do you begin, you pray, and you ask God to fill your mouth, and you just start telling others what the Lord has done for you, you don’t have to dress it up, the Words that God will give you will be able to stand on their own, He is just that Powerful!

My prayer for you today is that you would be like that man and go into the highways and byways telling others what Jesus did for you. For after what Jesus did for him, he couldn’t keep it to himself, he had to praise Him by honoring His Call to go! He witnessed to ten cities, to any and every one that would listen. When you truly understand and appreciate what Jesus has done for you, you should praise Him and honor His Call as well! Start with your household, your neighbors, colleagues, church family, and in the marketplace! But because you have free will, it is ultimately up to you to obey Him! You have to choose God’s way to advance His Kingdom over your good way to advance His Kingdom, because His way is always the best and it’s the only way that is true and sure to last forever!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Abba Father! Thank You for delivering me! Thank You for saving me! Thank You for leading me to tell someone else about you! Father, I will go wherever You want me to go and speak Your Word and sow into those who You want to know You better! Father, give me Your courage and strength to obey what You ask me to do and that I do it when You say, no more procrastination, putting it off until later or tomorrow, for neither one of those times are promised to me! Father, send Your Holy Spirit to fill me, give me wisdom and all manners of discernment and discipline, that I may know who and when. Father, thank You for giving me a heart that is strong enough to face the worst; a mind that forgets what is bad; and a soul that shall never lose faith in You. Father, lead me to always see me and to repent and forgive, that I may not become bitter, but that I can love like You have shown me. Father, thank You for what You have done, keep me focused on you amid the all the things that come distract me in life. Father m, You are the Creator and giver of life and You know me better than I know myself, keep me from hurting me and others. For You know where I’ve been hurt and broken physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Pour Your power out in me and among Your children that we may all be healed, renewed, and strengthened. Father, grant me Your Grace to accept the changes that come to me as I move through the seasons of life and give me unwavering faith that overcomes all of my fears. Father, put Your Word in my spirit, Jude 24-25, “Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand without blemish in the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time and now and forever.” In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Shift Change Time! Are You Ready? 

Philippians 4:11-13 AMP ~ “Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. [12] I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need. [13] I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]”

Stop! Breathe! Don’t Panic! God has shifted you into position, you are moving from transition to transformation! God had to shift you from you so that your shift wouldn’t be stopped! God had to shift you so that He could close the wrong doors that you went through, so that you could enter in the right doors, He doesn’t want you to go back through the wrong door again, (and those doors can be a person, place or thing). He doesn’t want you to go back through these same trials again, and I know you may think this detour has derailed you from His plans for you, but let me tell you, the experience was not wasted, for God uses everything for your good, Romans 8:28!

Have you ever felt like you were in the middle of a Shift, and nothing is going like it’s supposed to? I mean you are Praying, spending time in your Word, Fasting, paying your Tithes, Helping Others, Worshiping, Watching and Waiting and doing everything that you are supposed to be doing and still the change has not happened, and nothing is making sense! Don’t Panic, when God starts Shifting you, your whole world will seem like it’s falling apart, and looks like whatever could go wrong is happening, it’s one thing after another, these tests and trials will make you feel like you’re being punished for something that you have no idea about! 

Don’t Panic, God is in control, and you are right in the middle of the Shift Change!

God is shifting you into the position that He designed you for and your heart’s desire to align with Him. I know this season may look like a setback right now but it’s a setup for the Promise that you prayed for to your Father! When you have come to the end of yourself and the dust settles down, you will say to, “If God be for me, who can be against me” (Romans 8:31)! It’s in this moment that you will understand why you had to go through what you went through! There is one thing that I have learned that I want to share with you, when you are going through the process, when God is Shifting you, keep people who are not going in the same direction as you on a “Need to Know Basis”! Keep your Shifting Process Private, keep it on the DL, (Divine Low)!

You do remember when the children of Israel needed a victory against Jericho, they had to walk around a wall for seven days in silence, (you have got to learn how to be quiet), they could not say a word, and when they day came, they had to shout for the victory, and the walls fell down! It’s during your silent time that God is refining your shout, Joshua 6:1-5! This time your Victory is going to require your silence! God is saying to you in this Shift Change, you must follow all the instructions exactly like He says, He is putting a period where you had comma and a question mark, there will be no bargaining! Keep your mouth quiet, the victory has already been established for you to win, you got this!

Today, God is shifting you into position for the promise that you prayed for.  Sometimes this shift from God might look chaos, setback and even defeat but trust the process of God, you will see what He was doing in your life when the dust settles, and you will understand it better by and by after you have gone through what you have been through, it was a part of your Shifting and your Anointing! 

Let’s Pray:


Father, Thank You! Father, please forgive me for trying to go through things without you, please create in me a clean hear. Father, today I make a conscious decision to Let go and Let God! Thank You for equipping me for this Shift Change, make me ready in every area of my life! Father, I’m ready for this change, I’m tired of going round in circles, I’m ready for the chaos to stop and never return, and I know that I can only do it through You! Father, I Thank You that You are teaching me how to be silent, to change my attitude and that my perception and perspective will align with Your Will for my life that I may live a victorious life! Father, thank You for transforming my mind and cleaning up my vision and hearing concerning my current transition! Father, I trust You, and Your perfect timing to change me during this Shift Change! I will not be moved, nor will I panic, for I can do all things through You Christ Jesus which gives me strength. In the Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Who Are You Praying For Today?

Psalm 5:1-3 ERV ~ “LORD, listen to me and understand what I am trying to say. [2] My God and King, listen to my prayer. [3] Every morning, LORD, I lay my gifts before you and look to you for help. And every morning you hear my prayers.”

Today, I want to ask you a very important question, who are you praying for today? Are you praying for the unbelievers? The backsliders? What about those who have never heard about the Gospel? Christian Disciples? Every day you should be praying for somebody! You do know that somebody prayed for you, now it’s your turn to pray for someone else to get to know Jesus Christ!

Your prayers are simply conversations between you and your Father, who loves and adores you. As you enter into the House of Prayer, you will be ushered into a personal conversation with Your Father! God’s House of Prayer is really where you want to be, it’s a place where you will gather together with other believers and come into a prayer of agreement and be on one accord in unity and prayer! 

It’s in your commune and time with God that you can hear Him, when you are broken, He fixes you; when you are sick, He heals you; when you are tired,  He comforts you; when you cry, He hears your cry, even the silent ones, and He catches all of your tears; He hears you and He hears every beat of your heart, He does not miss anything that concerns you are anyone that is connected to you.! Your prayers are the heartbeat, and the pulse is His Wind and the Holy Spirit in your life! Every Servant of God has both, His heartbeat and His pulse. There is Power in Prayer! Now all you have to do is believe that the Father’s Will, will be done in you, through you and for you in the Name of Jesus Christ!

Prayer is the most powerful tool that you can have, Prayer changes everything and everyone, everywhere all of the time!

Let’s Pray:
Father, teach me to pray according to Your will and way. Father, today I’m bringing You all of my prayer request and I’m laying them at Your feet in Your house. You are my only help and provision! Father, I pray that the prayers that I’m praying will connect with other believers around the world and that we will see a shift and a change in Your children for Your Glory and their good. I will remain prayerful, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! You Are Able To Walk Freely In Fire! 

Daniel 3:13-14,16-19,21-22,24-25 NIV ~ “Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, [14] and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? [16] Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. [17] If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. [18] But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” [19] Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual [21] So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. [22] The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, [24] Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” [25] He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

If you don’t get anything else today, get this! Serve God and nobody else! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were resolute in their stance to not serving another God! The first three Commandments of the Ten Commandments are very clear, “You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the Earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them” Exodus 20:3-5)! They were determined and unwavering, for they said, if we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is well able to save us, and even if He don’t, we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up. Period! I want you to be this sure in serving your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! 

You need to know that there are going to be folks that are going to get mad at you for choosing not to obey and serve them, but you be strong and be of good courage, for you have God on your side and He won’t let a hair on your head fall, nor will you smell like the smoke from the fire that you were in! They were literally thrown into the fiery furnace for choosing to be obedient to God instead of obedient to King Nebuchadnezzar. Your obedience is going to cost you something, and it may be your life! Again, they said, it doesn’t matter if you throw us in fiery furnace, we serve a God who can save us from you, but if He doesn’t, we still are not going serve and worship your gods, (I can imagine them saying, do what you gotta do, because we ain’t changing our minds!) I’m sure this made the king even angrier than he was before! 

You see here in America you are free to pray and worship God anytime you want. (And yet so many of you chose not to.) But in some countries, it’s a crime against the law to worship, and those Christian are met with persecution, imprisonment and punishments, they may even lose their lives. But I believe that they are like, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, they were resolute in their stance on not serving another God! They chose to obey God than be accepted by society! What will be your stance today? So out of pure anger King, Nebuchadnezzar had them bound by their hands and feet and threw them in the fiery furnace and because of the heat was seven times hotter than usual, the men that he had to throw them in furnace got killed by that same fire that he wanted to take them out with! You see you don’t have to do anything to those who wrong you, God will take care of it! For they were wholly covered, protected and completely unharmed! 

But God! The king got anxious, and he couldn’t stop thinking about them in the fire and when he went to see if they were gone, he noticed a fourth man! He asked wasn’t there three of them that we put in the fire? And they said yes, then how is there four men, unharmed, unbound, unbothered and walking around in the fire, and the Fourth Man looks like the Son God! My God, even your enemy can see God is with you! Notice where they got their deliverance, it was in the fire that they were freed from the ropes that bound them.  God may deliver you in the fire from the things that are trying to bound you, you just have to be assured that God is with you! What King Nebuchadnezzar planned for evil, God turned it around and used it to draw him to God! When the King saw this, he called them out of the fire, promoted them and changed their positions! Won’t He Do It! He will never leave or forsake you and wherever you go, He goes! God is with you before the fire, in the fire, during the fire and after the fire, and the best thing about it, you don’t look or smell like smoke!

Think about this, when you look back over your life, can you tell when you saw God the clearest? For me, it was in my times of difficulty, especially when I was walking through the fires of life! You see when you are cast in the fire, you don’t always know if or how you will survive, but what you can be sure of, God is Able! Even if He doesn’t move then, it’s not because He’s not able, He just has a greater plan that needs to take place! But I need you to understand this one thing, you are required to endure and be willing to be subjected to the fires of life for the Glory of God! 

Sometimes it may seem like He is not there, but He is always there, and when you chose Him over others, they may not see Him, but you have to have faith and know that He is there! You see, it was in the fire that He was revealed to the others that He had been there all along! You see God is most evident in the hardest times of your life because those are the times that you have to trust Him the most. I know when you first get in that hot fiery furnace you might not think He’s with you, but I want you to look back over your life and remember how you came through last time, now look around, He is there walking with you right now! It’s in this fiery furnace that He’s growing and grooming you, and making you look more like Him! 

When you walk through the fire, your faith is deepened, your faith trusted is your faith that has been tested in the fiery furnace and this is where your character is strengthened, and God’s love for you is ever present because you are in His Presence! So don’t fear the flames, just breathe, because you can walk freely in it with Jesus Christ right next to you! I’m not sure if they saw Him at first, they just know what them had bound was loose and they were not consumed or killed by the fire, they were free to walk around, God didn’t just send someone to protect them, He came alongside them and ensured them that they were not alone in this matter, and He is doing the same thing for you too! I can hear them with my Holy Ghost ears praising God for delivering them in the fire! Don’t give up in the fiery furnace, walk freely in the fire, for you won’t be scorched by the flames! 

Now, I want to leave you with this last thing that really ranged out to me today in a different way, and I want you to think about it too. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego said, “But even if he does not” (verse 18). This one line takes this scripture from talking about God’s Protection and to speaking on God’s Power!  This was a faith move! Remember what I said about your faith earlier, “faith trusted, is faith that has been tested.” Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego had faith that God could save them, they showed you that they believe this by their actions, they trusted God enough to say that even “if You do not save us, we still choose You!“ They chose punishment from man, rather than be disobedient to God’s commands! Could you face the fiery furnace and accept the fate that God might not save you, even though you know that He can? This is a whole another level of faith and obedience that you should be striving for! Can you take this kind of stand for God today, “For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we did, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are for the Lord’s.” Romans 14:8!

Let’s Pray: 

Father, Thank You! Thank You for always being there for me! For never leaving or letting me go! Thank You for loving me in spite of me! Father, teach me how to be like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego whose trust in You was completely steadfast and unwavering, as they stood before the king and refused to bow down and give up cave under the pressure that was being poured on them. Father, I want to be like that, that I will acknowledge You and Your Sovereignty, Power and Presence, even if it cost me my life. Father forgive me for the times that I worshipped You based on my perception of what You did or did not do. Father, forgive me for my unbelief, strengthen me where I need it the most, for I want to worship You before there’s a fire, when I’m in the fire, when the fire’s extinguished, or if You should choose to take me home through the fire, no matter how, I choose You! Father, help me to be okay with the uncertainties that I face in my walk. Father, I want to be able to truly say that I know that my God has the power to save me but even if You don’t, I will not bow down to another. Father, help me to stand firm in the midst of everything and leave the outcome totally in Your Hands. Father I know that Only You can set me free and give me freedom! You’re not only the Fourth Man walking around in the fiery furnace, but You are also the Only One who endured the fiery trial of the cross for me. Father Thank You for purchasing me with Your Blood! Father, Thank You for being present in every season of my life, in the fire and out of the fire You have been there with me and I’m grateful! Father, it is because of you, that I don’t have to be afraid to live, and I don’t have to be afraid to die. Father, Thank You for Your Mercy and Grace that continues to flow in my life. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Let God Lead You To The Rock Today! Now Say Thank You Jesus!

Psalm 61:1-4 AMP ~ “Hear my cry, O God; Listen to my prayer. [2] From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help]. [3] For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, A strong tower against the enemy. [4] Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.”

Have you been discouraged or tired lately? Believe me, I’m not trying to stress you out, but I want you to be real and acknowledge where you are, it’s only when you are truthful with you, can you get the help that you really need! So many times, you can feel faint and yet you keep moving instead of stopping and standing still and calling out to God for help! It is a brand-new day, and I know that there are a lot of people that are vying for your attention right now, but today I want you to just be you, because you need a moment to meet with the Lord on the Rock!

Today, amidst what you are walking through, I want you to cry out to God and know that He hears your faint cry that is a smidge above a whisper for help and He waiting to lead you to the Rock that is higher than you, He wants to meet you right where you are! God is your secure, safe foundation that you can stand on as your refuge and your strong tower, it will protect you against every enemy that is trying to defeat, discourage, or deplete you!

Be encouraged, right here and right now, God used every circumstance to bring you into alignment and to trust Him with every fiber of your being! Picture yourself in David’s shoes, he was tired, as a matter of fact, he sick and tired of being tired and he had to do something else, because what he was doing wasn’t working! So, are you exhausted? Are you tired yet? Do you feel like you are in the wilderness? Or under pressure, and you are alone in this place of heat with no shelter in sight? Right here in this moment, can you hear your voice being raised above your whisper now as you call God to take you up, to hold you up and to stand on the Rock, your strong tower, your refuge! David cried out and he asked the Lord to “lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.”

Have you cried out and asked God to lead you to the Rock that is higher than you? In other words, this is what you can say to God, Father, lead me to You, because all this is too much for me and I need to be sheltered from this burning heat, it’s too much for me too handle by myself! As you read in your Bible, you can see David in the wilderness and he was exhausted by the heat of the sun, and he couldn’t take the pressure any longer. This is what your life is like when you don’t cry out to God, you get exhausted under the heat of the pressure. You need God to lead you to Him! For He is the only One that can do something about the scorching heat that you are walking through right now! You may not be able to change all the things in your life that seem and feel bigger than you, but I want you to remember that it is still small in comparison to the Rock that is higher than you! There is nothing bigger nor better than the Lord your God!

Let’s do what David did, after all he was a man after God’s own heart! David is giving you a life lesson that you would do well to remember for the rest of your life! He asked for help, and he gave you the reason why he expected the Lord to help him, “For God has been his refuge, a strong tower against the enemy! “David reminded himself of what God had done for him! Now, I want you to stop reading this devotional and let your mind go back to what the Lord has done for you! At this pivotal point you should be grateful, thankful and praising God for all of His breakthroughs and blessings! Remind yourself of all the prayers God answered, how He took care of you and provided for you, all of His promises He kept, how He brought you through troubled waters, what He’s done in His Word and Works, how He gave you strength to seek Him in the wilderness and in the crushing, how He is strengthening you today, and how He saved you from you and your sins!

Learn to run to God, to His Word right in the middle of what’s trying to stress you out! Stop trying to run away, run to God, He can fix the unfixable, God wants you to run to Him and to His Word which can secure, settle and shelter you. You see when you run to God’s Word, you will find your “refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” Psalm 46:1, NIV. When you run to Him, you will find out that He is all you need, and this isn’t an escape but a surrendering of your will to His Will! Say it out loud, “God is my Refuge.” Your strength doesn’t come from you, it comes from the Lord!

God is your Rock, the Rock of your defense, Psalm 94:22 NKJ, “But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge!” So, when you run to His Word, you discover that His law is your delight and it protects you and keeps you from giving in, out, and up, Psalm 119:92! God is who He says He is, He is the Rock that is stronger and higher than anything you will face! He is your Refuge and Shelter! See yourself being sheltered in the truth of His Word and in the sanctuary of His Presence, just sit back and watch everything that has looked big, shrink down to the size of a pebble that you can throw in the lake to never see again!

God is your Refuge and your strong tower, Proverbs 18:10! When you seek His Word, it will give you the guidance that you need. God’s Presence gives you the peace you need to keep pushing forward! Today, if you feel like running, put your best pair of sneakers on and run to Jesus! Run into the arms of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! He is Your Strength! He is your Rock! He is your Refuge! And He is waiting for you to shelter, secure, settle and save you so that you can be in the safe place!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for keeping me safe! Thank You for being my strong tower and place of refuge! Father, sometimes I get overwhelmed with all of the things that I have to do, and then I’m reminded to cast all of my cares, concerns and challenges on You and You take care of them, Thank You for taking care of me. Father please give me Your Strength and Peace when I’m in this place. Father, lead me to You, my rock. Guide me to Your Word for it gives me strength and refuge. Help me not to run to things that don’t matter, help me to keep first things first, You and Your Word! Father, draw nigh to me and draw me to run to You first. Father, help me to learn to give everything to You first and that I’m not overwhelmed, but I’m overjoyed because I have been overcome by the Word of the Lamb! Father, I’m placing everything at Your feet and under Your Will, for I know that You are my Rock, Refuge, Strong Tower and You will keep me safe from all harm and danger! In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
