Good Morning Shifted One!

Philippians 4:11-13 NKJV – Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: ¹² I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. ¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

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!

Today, 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!

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! Get Ready The Wind Is Moving You!

John 3:8 ~ “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.”

Do you feel it? A shifting has caused the winds of change to blow in your direction! As you enter into this new season, you will fill the winds of the Spirit moving over you and propelling you into your God ordained destiny! When the wind blows, a shaking is taking place, you feel the breeze even though you can’t see it, but you got a feeling that the Holy Spirit is up to something big, and you are in awe at what God is doing in your life!

The Wind of God is free, and it can blow and go anywhere it wants! For this reason, you need focus on God’s Will and not what you want! In order to see the kingdom of God, you must be born again, it is not an optional religious experience, but it is an absolutely necessity if you want to be saved! So, if you have been born of God, then you should be a true believer!

The wind blows wherever it wants, you can hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it’s coming from or where it’s going, all you need to be sure of, is have been born of the Spirit? Have you been born of the Spirit; you do know that “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63! God’s Spirit is speaking to you through the wind, and it is moving you in whatever direction He wants you to go! Stop fighting against the Wind (The Spirit of God)!

There is something you should know; you can’t determine where the wind came from, and you can’t determine where it’s going! (Just like your life, you have no control, it’s all in God’s Plan, where you are going and how)! The Spirit of God is free, and He goes wherever He Wills to go, He has a mind of His own and you cannot control any part of it, no matter how smart you think you are, you couldn’t do it in the beginning, and you can’t do it now! The Wind, The Spirit of God is Free, and they do what they are going to do, blow!

The freedom of the Spirit of God is producing life in you as a born again child and your will is moving to the moments that your new birth took place! The effects from the sound of the wind changed you and you were made alive by The Spirit of God! Your will was moved to receive Jesus and to believe  in Jesus The Christ as your Lord and Savior!

The Wind is blowing and there is a shaking and shifting in your atmosphere! Be ready to feel the Wind!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father, Abba Father, I want to feel Your Wind blowing on and in me today! Father, Thank You for Your breath of Rauch, cover me and every one that is connected to me, for we all need you! Father, help me to embrace the sound, shifting and blowing of Your Wind, Will, Way and Word today! . Father, move me to any place You want me, for wherever You are, that’s where I want to be also. I live to be in Your Presence, morning, noon and night, I just want to be near You! I am surrender to Your Will and Way! Let the Power of Your Holy Spirit blow in my life like never before today. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Equipped One!

2 Timothy 3:16-17 ~ “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Everything that you need is in the Word of God! You need to be taught, it’s there! You need correction, it’s there! You need training it’s there! You need rebuking, it’s there! You need to learn how to live righteous, it’s there too! Everything that you need to be effective and equipped to do the work of the Lord, it can be found in the Word, stop looking for the world to equip you, it won’t and can’t do it!

As you take each breath that you have been afforded, it comes from The Breath of God, just as God is intimate with His Word He wants you to be intimate and intertwined with Him and His Word, His true Word, that is without error, it’s pure and true!

Everything that God made, He spoke it into existence, until He made man in His image, Genesis 2:7, The LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature” God did this on purpose, that you may live by His breath! Inhale (take in God and all of His goodness) Exhale (Praise and Worship because of the goodness that He let you inhale)!

God is your source of life and everything that you do, is like a single breath from God. As you take in that breath, I pray that it is the most satisfying thing that you have ever experienced, one breath can bring you joy and that same breath can cause you a heartache also, but the most important thing is, you are still breathing and that can only come from God! And right now while you are reading this devotional, you are encountering God, the One who breathed on you on purpose! You should be shouting, God Himself has breathed on you, now what are you going to do with all the breaths that He is giving you today!

You are born of the Spirit of God and when He blew His breath you became alive! Today, you are entering into a very distinct season of God breathing in you and on you! When He blew His breath in you, you became alive! So, when you open your mouth to speak, your words are being breathed out, and your breath is being poured forth by what you speak! As study your Word today, it’s being perfectly expressed by the breath of God for everything that you need for today! And remember that all Scripture, yes everything single Word is by God and for God and it is breathed out by God, and it is useful! You have been equipped by the Word of God to handle whatever the world tries to throw at you today! So just breathe, it’s already done!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for breathing Your breath in me! Father, help me to embrace Your Breath and fill Your Presence over me! Father, teach me how do follow Your complete instructions, Father please correct me and align me to Your perfect Will,Father, I want to live a life of holiness and righteousness and I can only do it through You! Father, help me to be ready to receive the blessings You have for me in this place, on this day as You equip me for every good work that You are calling me to do today for Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Time To Wake Up!

Romans 13:11 AMP ~ “Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ].”

Your alarm clock is going off, do you hear the sound that is ringing from it? It’s time to wake up and come out of this slumber,  you’ve been sleep long enough, it’s time to get up and move!

Do you know what time it is? And I’m not talking about the hour on the clock or the date on the calendar, I’m talking about the spiritual time! I’m talking about prophetic time! You do know that you are currently in what the Bible calls last the days.! You We living in the last days before Jesus Christ returns, your new day is about to dawn! Do you ever think about what time it is and how you are living? Well it’s time for you to wake up and pay attention, you are in the last days and you need to be alert and aware of what’s going on!

Not one of you knows the time or hour or how much more time you have to live. You simply do not have the time to live a life that is not established according to God’s plan and expectations! You need to use every opportunity that comes your way today to live as if it were your last day l, and to live like God has commanded you, be committed to doing His Will, so that you will not have any regrets later! Use your time wisely, time that is wasted can never be reclaimed!

When Paul wrote this letter, it was to help you wake up, to realize that Jesus Christ is coming, and it’s nearer now than it was when you first accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! Nobody knows when, it could be 10 years or 10 minutes, just know He’s coming and His coming is imminent, and this my sisters and brothers sheds some new light on your future! You need to listen closely and carefully at what Paul said next, the “day” is at hand (13:12), and it is “The the day of the Lord, which will eradicate darkness forever (1 Thessalonians 5:2, 4-5)!

So as you live out your life in the coming days, think about The Light that is coming, rather than being consumed by the present darkness. With this being said, you need to wake up and live your life in a way that will count for your future and please your Father, and not simply wasting your present time on the best that the present has to offer! Wake up and pay attention, time that is won’t be no more!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for waking me up this morning out of the sweet rest that You gave me. Jesus, Thank You for the gift of time, You have given me one more day to serve You. I realize Jesus that the time of Your return is coming and it’s getting closer day by day. Teach me to use my time properly and to live as You have asked me to do. Thank You for the purposes and plans that You have set  in place for me this day.  I will praise You all through this day, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name, Amen and Amen.

Good Morning Sunshine! Be Mindful of Your Inner Circle!

2 Chronicles 10:8 ~ “But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.”

Who is in your inner circle? Who do you seek counsel from?

God is calling you to move to your next level and He needs you to be aware of this one thing! Be mindful who you share with and seek counsel from! Because some people will say they have your best interest at heart, and really they don’t, they are dressed in camouflage and it’s hard to tell them apart if you have not sought God first and you don’t have discernment! Be mindful of who you call friend, because the world is not your friend!

Have you ever had a task to complete for someone and they were giving you all the details on what you need to do and how. And then there was someone else who was listening to your discussion and said it doesn’t take all of this, (now, they have never done this before, but they are giving you advice) there’s another way around it! Now whose advice will you heed to, the quick and easy way (which is what you want, I mean who wants to take 30 steps when you can do 15 and be done), or will you listen to the one who knows what to do? Nevertheless, you have never done this so you have a choice to make!

Will you listen to the knowledgeable person, or will you be like Rehoboam, and neglect the wisdom of your elders and follow the influence of your peers? He made two crucial mistakes as a young new leader; he didn’t seek God and His Wisdom on how and what to do and he didn’t give consideration to experts on the task set before him! He followed his plan, and the people told him exactly what he wanted to hear, they were just like him and because of this thinking the people in his kingdom revolted and his kingdom was destroyed, because he would not take heed to wisdom!

So many times we trade sound experience for what sounds good in the moment! Just because someone has been around you for a long time doesn’t mean they actually know you and what’s best for you. You want people in your inner circle that will tell you the truth and give you wise counsel that comes from God! Stop seeking advice from people who will only tell you what you want to hear!

You may not be the Boss, or ruler of a kingdoms, but you are a leader and you are great and getting greater and as you strive to please God, He is elevating our to your next leadership opportunity! You have influence in so many areas, ministry, on your job, in your relationships (families, marriage, and friendships) that have been given to you by God and you will face a Rehoboam moment where you will have to make a decision, and you are not sure what to do.

Remember, not all advice is created equal. If you seek the input of others, consider the source of who they are. If you want a sound answer seek God and wise believers, who believe in the same God that you do, listen to what the Bible teaches, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, this is where you will find true wisdom. Because if you seek out someone in the world, you will get worldly advice that is not beneficial to you as the believer!

Today, make sure you ask God for wisdom and with your wisdom get an understanding, for this will give you insight into what you need to do and say. Remember, Wisdom comes from God alone! Proverbs 4:7~8 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Today, I make an intentional decision to seek Your Wisdom and to receive the direction that only You can give me! Father, I choose to follow You down every path and road that you lead me on, trusting You all the way! I know that with You have my best interest at heart and You will never leave me alone, because You stick closer to me than my brother and sister! Father, please guard me today from making decisions outside of Your Will, please give me wisdom today and with Your wisdom a good understanding on who to seek for advice and who to steer clear of! Father, help me to discern who I should be with and those that I need to let go of, for I want my relationships to be pleasing to You as we serve in the Kingdom together for Your Glory! Father, I choose You today over every one else, In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Don’t Worry, God Is Taking Care Of It For You!

Isaiah 54:17 ~ “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.”

You do not have to defend yourself when you follow God, don’t worry about what They say!  I know that those words that were spoken tried shift your focus away from God, but God has you covered and when He does a thing, He does it well! God puts something on the inside of you to help you walk through situations where it seems like everything is coming against you, His Word, it’s in your heart so, remember you are just passing through, so let them say whatever they want, the word may form but it won’t prosper, you are fully covered, you we’re predestined by God in the beginning!

When you can no longer perceive certain people and the conversations they have as intimidating to you, you can see them for who they really are. Now you can learn from them what you need as you move beyond your current state and status, to your next new place where God is moving you because this is your heritage as a child of God! When your perspective transforms, your life will follow and nothing else will matter except what your Father says and wants!

Today, see your disappointments as products that were used to produce in you a greater life, to make you a stronger, disciplined and wiser version of yourself. I know that life may have been hard, but it produced resilience and strength in you that could not have come to you any other way, you can’t be comfortable in the transition process, but you will be Comforted by your Father in the transition process! This is where your passion births out the promise!

Stand on the Word and watch the Word work it out for you! Stand on the Word and declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper, Isaiah 54:17, in the Name of Jesus Christ! When you try to fight in your strength, you will be defeated, but when you let God fight your battles you will win!

You see all the people that seemed like they were full of discord and “hell” and trying to say all manner of evil things to you, about you and against you, will not prosper, them and their words will fall! God is covering and protecting you for His purpose and His Glory! God has Shifted you, so don’t worry about it, it’s time to Transition to the Transformation!

Today, make a conscious decision to Let go and Let God fight for you, because you already have the victory!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Father, I’m standing on Your Word and Your Promises as I seek to draw closer to You and Your Way! Father, I need You to keep me mouth and my attitude in line with Your Word as I listen and hear what people have to say about me! Father, put a shield over my ears that I don’t hear or dwell on what the nay sayers have to say, I will only believe what You say about me for I know that it is pure and true! Keep my mind and mouth off of others and keep me from wanting to take matters into my own hands and defend myself. For I know and believe what Your Word says, that No Weapon formed against me shall prosper, it may form, but that’s not my concern because it will not prosper because I’m protected and covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ. In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen!

Good Morning Changing One!

Haggai 2:6-7 ESV ~
“For thus says the Lord of hosts: Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7) and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

When the wind blows, a shaking and change is taking place, you feel the breeze even though you can’t see it, but you know that the change is happening, the Holy Spirit is up to something big and you are in awe at what God is doing, There’s a shaking, changing and shifting in your atmosphere!

When we come together to pray, we know without a shadow of doubt that prayer changes things, something happens in the atmosphere, a shifting is taken place. Jesus is changing your atmosphere today! It’s time for a Shift! Something has got to give. Something has got to change. It can’t keep on going like this! When He enters the room, He’s filling it up with light and you will be changed, He’s that powerful!

God is changing you in the Move! It’s times for you to let go and follow where God wants you to be, it’s Shift Change Time! It doesn’t matter how long it has taken you, but you can be assured that God has ordained your next move, you just need your faith to push you through, your shift is connected to the change that your faith makes today!

God is looking for atmosphere changers today, will you be the one, will you let His Holy Spirit lead you into producing the change? A change that brings His Spirit, with you wherever you go producing all of the fruits of the Spirit.  A life that resigns from the complaining, but is loving, one that says kind words that encourage, not gossip, one that builds up a community and not tears it down, one that speaks the truth of God’s Word and not the lies of this world?

Do you have genuine compassion for others, like God? Does your faith in God speak life into hopeless situations? These Godly qualities in you will change the atmosphere for someone else; this is your perfect opportunity to tell someone about Jesus (Romans 10:9-10). It’s so compelling that they are wanting what you have. No matter where you go today, I want you to strive to be the Atmosphere Changer through Power of God’s Anointing and Direction.

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for changing me into the person that You desire. Father, give me the desire to embrace the change and to walk in the transformation and manifestation of what You ordained for my life even before I was formed in my mother’s womb. Father, thank You for everything, I’m totally sold out to You and Your Way and Will. Father, help me to be change agent in whatever atmosphere I find myself in, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! What Position Are You In?

Hebrews 2:6 ~ “But one testified in a certain place, saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?”

What is your position and where do you stand? Are you on the Lord’s side or one of your own? In the beginning God created man, that’s you and me, He created us male and female and in His image! But the question is, why is God so mindful of you? It’s because of love, love, love, (John 3:16 ~” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”) Now that you know God’s position for you, where is He positioned in your life? Is He first or last, and just to be clear, there is no middle ground, either He’s first or not!

God has given you a gift(s) that has put you into a position or place, but it’s because of His Presence and Promises that you are able to function in those positions and places! So why is there always a power struggle among our Christian brothers and sisters! Do you know that your position has nothing to do with the posture of your heart, but it has everything to do with the principles that your life is built on and your ability to be planted firmly on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ!

The enemy wants you to abort your position in God that’s why he is always trying to hinder you from knowing just who you are and why God loves you so much! The enemy knows the power, potential and promise of your position in the Kingdom of God and He has no intention of allowing you to flow freely in it without a fight! He works so hard trying to make you believe that you are wasting your time, he likes it when you in opposition to what God wants!

But God put you in this position and now is the time to stand up straight and claim your rightful place, the enemy lost his place and that’s why he’s mad at you! But remember your enemy is a defeated foe and he has no power unless you give it to him, which is contrary to what your Father gave you! You have been given the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you, Luke 10:19! You see your position In Jesus Christ comes with Power!

Today, be secure in the position that God has put you in, you have been chosen (John 15:16) to rule and reign, God just wants you to do it with a humble heart and not pride, pride will cause you to abuse and abandon what God called you to do! God is maintaining what you can’t attain on your own, His Power and Presence in you! You do not have to fuss and fight for control; Jesus gave it to you after He took the keys of death and the grave away from your enemy! You have nothing to lose now but everything to gain, hold tight to your position, walk in your God given promises, bask in His Presence and watch the Power flow in position of authority, for you are a chosen leader in God’s Kingdom!

Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You! Thank You for loving me so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to die that I may live, Father I can never repay You for what You have done for me! Father, I will praise and worship You for the rest of my life! Thank You for giving me Your Power to defeat my enemies, give me strength from on high to keep moving no matter what comes up, I am Your child and I believe in Your Power! Father show me how to war in the spirit, teach me how to fight and pray, teach me father, that my faith may increase. Father, I thank You for the position that You have put me in, may my heart posture always be pleasing to You as You move me from level to level and from Glory to Glory for Your Kingdom! In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! The Words of The LORD Are Pure! 

Psalm 12:6 NKJV ~ “The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.”

The Word of the Lord is Pure and Flawless! It has been tried and purified! And God has refined you in His Word, seven times, (the number 7 means complete)! So now that the Word is in you, you have the perfect fire (conversation piece) starter! Today, tell somebody about what the Lord has done for you through His Presence, Power and Word and see whose listening! 

Do you remember this slogan, “When E. F. Hutton speaks everyone listens!” Every one loved to hear him speak, they were not only interested in what he had to say, but they did what he said and they lived by it, it was the truth, and nothing but the truth!  He was about making money and the people trusted every word that came out of his mouth! (You do know that man can lie, don’t you?)

So why can’t we hang on to every Word that God say’s like this, His Word will always be greater than man’s! People can and will lie to you, but God’s Word is always true and perfect! His Word is like purified silver and refined gold and it is to be sought after and treasured more than anything else! Every day you need to take time to study God’s Word, this pleases Him and it keeps His Fire burning on the inside of you! There is real value in you knowing God’s Word for yourself! 

Don’t limit your getting closer to God by reading a devotional or two, take time to get to know His Nature and His Character, it’s found in the pages of your Bible! Don’t just say this is your favorite book and you never pick it up. So, many of us have a Bible in every room in our home, it’s in the car and at work, but do you read and study the Word like you are supposed to or is it just for decoration and collecting dust?

God’s Word needs to be sought after to keep the fire burning, just like you seek out silver and gold, God wants you to desire Him even the more! It’s in His Word that you are being prepared for eternity, you do want to go to heaven, right? Stop seeking after material things that can only bring you temporary joy and seek after the Word of God, this will bring you eternal joy and life, because you can never get enough of God’s Pure Word in your life! 

Let’s Pray:

Thank You Father! Today, I surrender my mouth, mind, heart and body to You, I want to have an encounter with You! Father, I Thank You for Your Pure Refined Word! Father, I pray today that me and all of Your children will have a hunger and thirst to know Your Word like never before. Father, I thank You that Your Word is the revealer of all secrets and truth and that You will give me wisdom and understanding as I seek after You early in the morning, meditating at noon and listening to You in the evening! Father, thank You for the fire of the Holy Ghost that burns within me to keep me on my task as You use me for Your purpose! Let every word that comes out of my mouth be full of Your fire and impact all who hears it, including me! I want to be changed by the Fire and Power of Your Word for such a time as this, let me never be the same, after I have been refined by Your Firing Process and by Your Pure Word. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…

Minister Jean

Good Morning Sunshine! Don’t Despise The Fire!

Proverbs 17:3 ~ “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.”

Yesterday we talked about being Refined and today it is still in my spirit. So, let’s take a deeper look into the Refining Process and how He uses the “Firing Pot and the Furnace” for the purpose of purification. The Pot and The Furnace shows what God uses and how He works in our life to make us the best Christian possible for His Glory! There is a Purpose in the Refining Process, and you need to know that you know that He is Refining you on purpose!

Silver and Gold are two different things, but they are both refined by the Fire, one is tried in the firing pot and the other in a furnace! But your heart is purified by God through the fiery furnace of afflictions and trials! Man can refine silver in the firing pot and gold in the furnace, but he cannot refine the heart! Nobody can do this, only God can change your heart! “Can’t Nobody Do You Like The LORD!” You do know that your heart is deceitful above all things, and it is wicked: who can know it? Nobody but the Lord, (Jeremiah 17:9-10)! And the Lord is going to reward you according to your heart, (1 Kings 8:39), you cannot escape what’s in your heart, for what’s in you in bound to come out of you!

God knows you; He knows what you are afraid of and what you boast about, He knows your strengths and weaknesses, your temptations and your secrets, and He knows what sets you off and what shuts you down! So, when He refines you of the sins that so easily beset you! Humble yourselves before Him, because He will humble you in the furnace of afflictions to test and try your faith in adversity! He will use the firing pot of infirmities to build up your dependence on His Mercy and Grace!

How can silver and gold be purged, purified, and prepared without the fire? How can your heart be purged, purified and prepared without going through the God’s firing pot and furnace, (Psalm 139:23-24)? You have to go through the firing process to burn away all of all of your impurities, that they may float to the top so, that God can remove the dross, (the dross is everything that hinders the true you from being pure and ready for use), that you will be ready and fit for service in the Kingdom of God, in the earth realm! The process is painful, but the outcome is oh so are Glorious and it will Glorify your Father and increase your Faith! Today, submit your heart to His Firing Process and watch your life, peace, faith and love explode for Good through this refining process! 

Don’t despise the Fire, embrace it!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for purging me by the fire of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Father, for clearing and cleaning my mind that I may think like You! Father, continue to burn through me and push the dross and impurities to the surface of my life, because the more dross that You remove, the better I will be! Father, purify my heart that I may love like You! Father, guide me, that Your purpose and Presence will shine brightly through me! Father, I’m going to praise and worship You through this process, for I know that it is for my good and Your Glory! In the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Blessings…
