Good Morning Zealous One! 

Good Morning Zealous One! 

1 Kings 19:10 NIV ~ “He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”

As a Christian being zealous should be one of your characteristics. Jesus reminded us that, “for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26.  As sons and daughters of the Most-High God, you should be totally aware that God has given you what you need to live a righteous life and be in right standing with Him. The Word of God teaches you how-to walk-in spirit and in truth, God gave you the greatest teacher to learn from and follow, He gave you Jesus Christ! Everything that you need is in Him and He is in you as travel on this journey called life! 

When you are zealous for God, you understand the cost of following Jesus, (picking up your cross daily, Luke 9:23-25), you have to be fully committed to following Him anyway. Are you truly committed to God’s way of doing things, not your own, are you eager to embrace all that Christ wants to do in your life, even when that means you have to surrender or sacrifice what you want. What are you willing to sacrifice for your relationship with your Father?  I Peter 3:13-17 ~ “Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.”

You are to believe God’s Word and trust Him especially in these troublesome times so that you may live godly lives in Jesus Christ. As a child of God, the peace of God is already permanently dwelling in your heart, an all you have to do is live your life as God’s Word says, because it was designed for you before you were formed (Jeremiah 1:5) and He breathed on you and the Word came alive in you! Just remember that when you are tempted to think that you are the only one remaining faithful to a task, remember that you are not alone. God is always with you, and he is faithful to provide coworkers to join you in following him. Don’t give in to self-pity; it will only dilute the good you are doing. Be assured that even if you don’t know who they are, others are faithfully obeying God and fulfilling their duties. Today, be mindful that there is nothing or no one that can harm you and nothing can separate you from God and from the eternal promises that are yours in Jesus Christ your Savior! 

Let’s Pray:

Father, Thank You for loving me, thank You for choosing me. Father I choose to follow You with my whole heart today and every day, picking up my cross daily to serve You and only You. Father thank You for leading me to other disciples that desire to follow You like myself, may we do a great work for You. Father help me as I will not lean to our own understanding, but I will trust and acknowledge You in all my ways. Father Thank You for showing and reminding me that nothing can harm or destroy me because I’m Your child. Father, I pray that I may continue to be zealous and live as You have showed and told me to do. My heart’s desire is to earnestly seek after that which is good, and to praise and worship you, in Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Yes, Jesus Loves You!

1 John 3:18 (NLT) ~ “Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”

It’s easy to know the right thing to say and to do, but it’s another thing all together to actually follow through with it, there becomes a disconnect between us not doing and doing the right thing.

Our verse today says that we shouldn’t just say that we love others for the sake of saying it, I mean it does sound good when we hear someone say they love us, and when we say it to others, but it needs to be followed up with action like Jesus Christ did; not just words, we need actions to go after the words. Do you know that you are a child of the Most-High God, He is the Sovereign God of our universe, and He absolutely and positively loves you!

As His child has anyone said to you today that they love you? If not, get this one thing in your spirit and hold on to it forever, God loves you unconditionally and there nothing like it or can ever be compared to the love of God! Rejoice in this today, again I say rejoice in the love of God! 1 John 4:7-8, “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”

Your life should reflect the love of God towards others, don’t just say the right things at the right time and in the right places for others, but live out God’s love in a big way every day because God is love! Whatever you do in word or deed, do it in the Name of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Child of God, you can rest in the fact and knowledge that your Lord and Savior loves you in spite of you, He displayed His love for you and me, while we were yet sinners, God loves you!

Let’s Pray:
Father, I believe in You, and I know that You love me. You proved Your love over 2,000 years ago by dying on an old rugged cross, and I thank You God. I thank You for not staying there, but in 3 days You got up just for me, now that’s Love! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You Lord for loving and saving me. Father I love You and the boundless love that You show me every day. You don’t just say You love me in words, but You showed me Your unconditional love by suffering and dying for me and my sins.  Father, teach me to love others the way You desire, fill me with Your love that I may daily serve You and others as a reflection of Your love on the inside of me, do it God like only You can, in Jesus Christ Name I pray.  Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Have You Told God About It?

Philippians 4:6-7,19 NIV ~ “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [19] And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

I want you to look at these two scenarios in your life. First, has there ever been a time that you were unsure about some things in your life? Well, you don’t have to wait another day to figure it out on your own. Position your heart in the right place of humility, and then ask God to help you and once you’ve have done this, asked and trust that God is directing you. 

Second, if you know you’ve taken a wrong path, you can seek God for direction instead of looking to the world for answers. As you take steps to follow and obey God’s voice, He will lovingly show you the way. You see both of these scenarios require you to do the same thing to have a great expected in, you have to go to God and ask Him! So, have you done that yet? 

There are so many times that you have second-guessed a decision because you were uncomfortable and tried to figure it out all by yourself. And now you have learned that you have to follow God’s way so that you don’t make another wrong move. You want to be wondering where you supposed to be doing or doing that, you will be able to do exactly what He said, because you asked Him and He responded! 

You have been told time and time again in the Word of God to tell Him what you need. And day after you have tried to get around it, there is no way around God! You and me, need to follow this command faithfully by presenting your request to God daily and to not be anxious for anything, trusting and believing that He will take care of everything! And while you wait, don’t lose heart, stop praying for one thing and then assuming that God is not going to answer you, stop being contradictory of what you are praying for! You are to always pray, Luke 18:1, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. You have to keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.  Matthew 7:7.

Today, I want you to delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4. As you delight yourself in the Lord, you won’t over think it or become overcomplicated. It will be what God intended for your prayer life. It’s in this place that you get to the root of a thing, you are communicating with your Father, and you do know that the root of communication is commune, and this simply means to talk with intensity and intimacy; and to interchange thoughts and feelings with someone else on a consistent basis. One day I realized that I used to be missing that in my prayer life, consistency, when I started to be consistent my way of praying changed! When I began to be consistent in prayer, prayer became the most important part of my life, and I knew who I was telling all about it! 

Your prayers don’t have to sound right or be polished or well put together to be effective. God is just inviting you to have a little talk with Him, about anything that is on your heart. The more you include Him in on the small things, the easier it is to include Him in on the big things. You can talk with Him just like you have a conversation with your friend, God just wants to hear from you. Just bring your whole honest heart to Him. He already delights in you, and He’s willing to listen. Start with what comes to your heart and mind first. There’s no better time to pray than right now. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  And my God will meet all of your needs according to the riches of His Glory in Christ Jesus! 

Let’s Pray:

Thank You Father. Thank You! Father, You know my every need and when I draw close to You in prayer, I trust and believe that You hear me and my hearts desires. Father. Help me to not be anxious for anything and to trust and believe in You. Father, I am bringing everything to You in prayer, my relationships, my finances, my emotions, my physical and spiritual needs. Father, help to me remember that I can cry out to You in every situation, big and small and You will delight in me coming to You. For I long for the moments when I can commune with You and You commune with me. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Are You Living Or, Are You Alive?

Job 14:14 NKJV ~ “If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes.”

Suffering interrupted Job’s life and pain was interwoven into him and I can only imagine him asking this question, if only I could die and live again? The waves of suffering and mourning was washing over him, but he was determined to hang on to his faith, despite the questions and doubts, he still believed in God!

Most times you the believer experiences suffering, we can go through an extensive list of questions to ask and to be asked. It’s hard to explain that much pain at one time. I mean it’s one thing to have one life altering thing, but it’s another thing when everything is going on at the same time! Pain on top of pain! But I want you to be encouraged and keep your hope in the one that can make a difference, be still under your Father’s everlasting arms. He will not let you go; He will not let you go! If Job, who lived before Jesus Christ was resurrected and have this kind of hope, how much more should you have hope? You can be sure of this one thing; your destiny is set and when you believe in the Risen Savior Jesus Christ!

Job saw death as the end of life as he knew it, yet he held out for hope, that there is life after death. A lot of young people and some old ones too, believe that you only live once and sometimes they will lead reckless lives like nothing else matters. But I’m here to tell you, that you will live again, it’s your choice, heaven or hell! Job went on to say, in 19:26-27, “And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, [27] Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!” Job had confidence and belief that he would see God!

Are you really a believer? Do you believe that now you live on this side of Jesus Christ death and resurrection, but one day you will die, but if you believe you will live again with Jesus! In the Word Jesus taught us He is the Resurrection and the Life and if you believe in Him, you will live again with Him, even after you physically die, (John 11:25)! After you die, you will see God with your own eyes. The good news is this, if you know Him when you die, you will spend eternity in His Presence! This is the reward that you get, and the blessing of being with Him in Glory is far beyond anything else that you can imagine! Today, is the day and time to choose who you will serve, (man or God, Matthew 6:24) and where you want to spend eternity, (heaven or hell, Matthew 25:46). Nobody can make this decision for you, but you and you must do it while the blood is still running warm in your veins and your heart is still beating! You don’t have as much time as you think! Choose this day and choose wisely, (Joshua 24:15), you can be here this morning and be gone the next minute. My question to you is where do you want to spend eternity?

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father I pray for Your blessings upon us as we spread the Gospel, as I tell somebody about You today. Father, I need You, we need You, the body of Christ need You, the children need You, our families need You, this world needs You, we all need to know that we will live again and that we need to decide and the obey what Your Word tells us. Father, help us to become disciplined disciples for You. Father, today I give over my control, whatever hardship, storm or suffering that I may be going through I relinquish it unto You because I have hope in You! Father, I know that You gave Your life that I might I experience life to the fullest. I know that You see me and my heart and You know my intentions. Father, I stretch my hand to Thee for there is no other help, I will lift up my eyes to the hills, for in You I know that all of my help and strength comes from You! Father, I Thank You for keeping me and helping me to stand firm on You and Your Word without wavering or fear! Father, I Thank You for comforting me and giving me peace! Thank You for raising Your darling Son Jesus Christ up, to show me that there is life after death and that when I believe that I too can truly live before death and after. I’m living now to live again and I’m looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith, that I may have eternal life, that I may live again in eternity with You! In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Good Morning Sanctified One!

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.”

Do you want peace, and not just any kind of peace, but the peace of God to encompass you! This is what you can have when you draw near to God! He sanctifies you and washes you through and through!

Let’s look at cleaning your laundry before the cleaner (you) and after the Cleaner (Jesus)! Have you ever had a piece of laundry that you had to wash over and over because you just couldn’t get the stain out of it with just one wash? As a matter of fact, you probably tried to scrub it a little bit before you washed it the third and fourth time. Now ask yourself this question, how many times did Jesus Christ have to wash you before you truly repented? For every sin you repented of, He washed you and made you clean!

Now when you think about washing something, you want it to be clean, don’t you? I know that you don’t won’t to put on anything dirty, you only want clean stuff. But when you don’t repent and ask God to cleanse you from the inside out, you are only surface clean. You do not just want a surface cleaning job, where it looks good on the outside and inside is all dirty, you want everything clean and only Jesus Christ can clean your insides, will you let Him?

Leviticus 20:7 ~ “Sanctify yourselves therefore and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.” None of us can be holy on our own, we need God and He does the purifying and sanctifying work in our lives. As a matter of fact, everything that has happened in your life is God working it out for you. It’s done to draw you closer and closer to Him! It’s designed to conform you to be more like the image of Jesus Christ! In everything that you walk through its God working through you and He’s working it out for your sanctification and for your good. God is purifying you for righteous living and this should be good news to your ears and heart!

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, especially those that you thought you hid from everyone, even 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, you have to be washed in the Word and by the Blood, it’s the process for His Sanctification, Mercy and Grace! When God washes you through and through, He gets rid of everything, and the perfect peace of God becomes your portion!

God is giving you His statutes and He’s calling you and me to do a thing, to be Holy, 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!

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. 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. God mold me into the image of Your Son Jesus Christ. 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!

Good Morning Sunshine, Do You Want To Get Well?

John 5:5-9 AMP ~ “There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. [6] When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?” [7] The invalid answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.” [8] Jesus said to him, “Get up; pick up your pallet and walk.” [9] Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.”

What was this place, it was pool with five porches that held the blind, the lame and the paralyzed and they waited for the angel to stir the waters, because it was believed that at that precise moment that the water was stirred that healing was there, anyone who jumped in the water first would be immediately healed of whatever ailments and diseases that they had!

But God, one day when Jesus was walking, He walked directly to that place where the man had been for thirty-eight years. (How long have you been lying in the same place?) But God, the day that Jesus walked in change the trajectory of that man’s life forever. (Jesus can do the same thing for you!) When Jesus entered in, He went straight to that man and asked him one question, “do you want to be healed?”. (This is a question that only you can answer.)

Jesus knows just how long you have been in this place! He picked that man out of all the other sick people that was there, He picked you out from the rest! Thirty-eight years of being afflicted, meant that everyone around you knew that something was wrong with you and that you couldn’t do anything about it! Stop making excuses of why you can’t do this or that, the man’s response was, “I have no one to help me into the pool.” (Stop making excuses, when Jesus asks you a question, He already knows the answer, He just wants you to tell the truth!”) When Jesus simply told the man to get up and walk! Just plain and simple!

Now it’s your turn to obey, the choice is yours, you can remain a victim or you can become victorious. When Jesus spoke, that man didn’t have to wait for water to be stirred, He was healed at the voice of Jesus! So, today this question is for you, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the waters of religion, routines and rituals to be stirred or are you listening to the Word’s and Voice of Jesus, who are you listening too? But God! When God has a plan for you, He knows just what to do to get your attention and to show just who He is, when Jesus cured him, everyone knew that this was a divine move and miracle for healing that took place! So many times, we missed out on our blessings because we are watching, waiting and looking for someone to stir the waters! You would rather see waters rather than seek the Master Healer!

Today, right now your Healing just walked into the room where you are! He’s healing everything in you right now! You are walking out of disfunction, diseases, distractions and disappointments pick up your pallet and walk! Did you hear what I said, Jesus is in the room with you! He is already speaking a word of freedom, deliverance, healing, and salvation. His Word is available right now and there will be is a life altering encounter awaiting you when you can recognize that He’s in the room with you!

Don’t miss your moment today because when Jesus walks into the room, everything and everyone changes!

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Thank You that Your Goodness never runs out. Thank You for allowing Your Grace to continue flowing in my life, Thank You for Your endless provision in my life. Father I love You so much and I’m grateful, grateful and grateful! Father I Thank You for the gifts that have been stirred in my life, Thank You for the free flowing of Your Holy Spirit in my life! Father I know that now is the time for me to work the gifts that You have given me. Father I am striving to live better, to walk in Your righteousness in every area of my life. Father, I Thank You that I have a sound mind and that I can hear You speak to me clearly! Father, today I am grabbing hold of all the supernatural miracles and blessings that are coming my way. I thank You that You are moving me from glory to glory and that You are washing me over daily in Your Word! Father, today, “I will hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:23-25!

Good Morning Sunshine, Let The Glory of God Cover You Today! 

Exodus 3: 14 KJV ~ 

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”

When the Lord sent Moses to deliver Israel, he told him, “Go, and say I AM sent you.” 

When the Lord chooses to show you His Glory, it is a revelation of how He wants to be seen through you and known by you for others to see Him! When God reveals His Glory to His chosen people, it is with a purpose in mind! There is a purpose in you for His Glory! 

Has God revealed Himself to you in a new way in this new year? Did you understand the revelation of what Moses experienced? Moses was chosen by God for a purpose! You are chosen by God for a purpose! And when Moses asked who do I tell them sent me, God’s response was, “tell them I AM sent you” Period, no other explanation needed! Those that know Him will understand and those who don’t will desire to know Him because of the Glory that is seen! The Glory drives you to hunger and thirst to get to know the Great I AM that I AM! God wants you to have a thorough knowledge and understanding of why the Glory is important for you! The Glory is a not a feeling that comes over you, it’s encounter with Him and He chooses who He will show His Glory too, and He’s choosing you! 

So when God sends you to a place all you have to do is say “I AM” sent me, When the Lord sent Moses to deliver Israel, He gave him two specific instructions, To Go and To Speak, that I AM sent you.” Sometimes there won’t be any other explanation, so you have to trust in the Power of God, and have a Yes in your spirit and heart and when you cry out to, “I AM”, He will show up, when He has sent you and not you sending you! Know what you have been called to do and do that thing! Everything has already been prepared and His Glory has went before you, because this is your set purpose, and you can trust this! 

In your time of processing, His Glory has already covered you while you were standing in cleft of the rock! One true encounter with God and you will be stirred up, because you can’t encounter Him and be the same, this will be your come to Jesus moment, your place of changing and receive His Glory and you be reassured in your daily walk that He is with you! The Glory of God is here today, make haste to bow down to Him, make haste to worship Him, make haste to follow Him, make haste to obey Him, make haste to surrender to Him, make haste to choose Him, for you do not know the hour nor day when He’s coming back, be ready at all times! 

Let’s Pray: 

Father, thank You, thank You for your Glory! Father thank You for watching over me all night long! Thank You that You kept us all night long, Father I’m are grateful! Father, You have allowed me to crossover into a new year and to be alive and well for 8 days in 2024, thank You Father! Father let Thy will be done in my life on this day, hide me in the cleft of Your Rock and let Your Glory cover me and prepare me to move out in assurance and confidence of what You purposed me for! Father, I thank You for Your Glory that will meet me every day as I walk through 2024 Thank You for Your Light that will expel the all darkness from my life. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! You Have Been Changed and Cleansed!

Hebrews 9:14 NIV ~ “How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!”

You are “Brand New” because of what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross! You have been changed! You have been washed by the Blood of the Lamb! Glory Hallelujah!

Now, you have to put off the old you and your fleshly desires and you have to put on your new self, that is created in the image of God’s character, Righteousness and Holiness! (1 Thessalonians 4:7 NIV, “For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.”) When you trust in God as your Lord and Savior, you will be changed from the inside, out! If you do not see both an inward and outward change in your life, then you are not living what you say you believe in; and you cannot transform yourself by your own efforts, you need trust God to do it! (Romans 12:2)!

You must die to your old self and way of thinking and put it all behind you and don’t look back. (No Looking Back, Galatians 5:24 NIV, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”) The “New” you, will be a true reflection of God and the Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:25 NIV, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Believe that your change is coming and it’s going to come through God’s Love, Power, Anointing, and the Holy Spirit, and you will be transformed into the likeness of Him, and you will begin to live a life of Truthfulness, Righteousness and Holiness, for His Glory!

You have something wonderful to look forward to! The blessings of dwelling in a new heaven and earth with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and in the Light of His Presence. On that day, you will no longer stumble but you will see clearly and desire His Will for your life. You have been set apart through the Blood of Jesus Christ and it’s time to walk in the light, the light of Jesus Christ! It’s time to worship God Almighty! It’s time, “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”Ephesians 4:22-24!

For all who trust in Christ, you are washed in His Blood and cleansed from sin so that you may serve Him in total wholeness! Lord Jesus, Thank You for washing me and making me fully clean!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for cleansing me in Your darling Son Jesus Christ Blood! Thank You for changing me into Your Likeness! Thank You God, for my makeover! Father, I want to be more like You with each passing day. Father, I pray that You will transform me daily and shape every part of my life to reflect You, that when others see me, they are really looking a reflection of Your Glory. Father, help me to daily put to death the desires of my flesh and to produce the fruit of the Spirit in my life. God Thank You that I have been made New today. Thank You that I am changed today and that I may be a change agent for someone else. Father, Thank You for everything that you have done, is doing and will do in my life. Thank You for washing me in the Blood! Thank You for giving me the ability to Plead the Blood of Jesus over every circumstance in my life and to know that it will take care of it! Thank You Father. In Jesus Christ Name I pray, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! What’s On Your Feet?

Ephesians 6:15 NIV ~ “and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”

The shoes of peace are the peaceful part of your spiritual armor, they will give you the stability that you need to stand upright and firm! When peace is in place in your life, it gives you the full assurance of how you should step out in faith and make the moves that God is leading you to make. But first, before you take any steps, you need to make sure His peace is operating in your life!

Every day, when you get dressed, you are to put on two outfits, your clothes and your armor, you should never leave home without either one. You would never leave home without your shoes on, how much more important is your spiritual shoes, they are the covering for your natural shoes, you can’t have one without the other! You are very mindful of what kind of shoes you cover your feet with, if your natural shoes are important than your spiritual shoes are 10 times more important! Covering your feet with the peace of God is your strength and power, it is one of the most powerful pieces of your spiritual weaponry and it is essential because, without it your shoes (covering) you become unstable and the devil can try to kick, pull, distract, and kill you.

But, say “But”, with that conquering peace firmly tied to your heart, mind, emotions, and will, you will be empowered to keep marching ahead, impervious to the devil’s attempts to take you down! When the peace of God is in place in your life, you are positioned and protected from the assaults and you are able to stand fixed and firm on your foundation no matter the person or occasion, the Peace of God is in control!

Let’s Pray:

Good Morning Intentional One!

Proverbs 16:3 NKJV
Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.

To live intentionally means to purposefully pursue the life God has called you to live. God has given you the plan and stated the purpose and told you of the promises!

In this new chapter, give your whole heart to Jesus because your “New” is waiting for you! And you cannot put new wine, new oil in an old vessel, it won’t hold it, it will burst at the seams and waste all of your goods. Walk into your “New” freedom, forgiveness, a clean heart, clear mindset, good attitude, desires, right motives, joy, friendships, peace, power, boldness, abundance, health, healing, laughter, and love, love and more love! You have to be intentional in these moments!

God knows who you need to be connected to in this season, He knows what kind of iron you need to be sharpened by and He knows who needs to be sharpened by you. Move forward into your divine assignments that have been properly aligned by Him, get into your position, your God given ordained lane and see the divine connections that He has planned and watch what happens, it’s your divine purpose and His Glory! Let God take you wherever He wants too, He leads, you follow. Your new chapter, your next level is based on wisdom from God and revelation, things that only He knows, and He wants to share it with you, put it in your heart, for that’s your sacred place.

Intentionality requires deliberate (intentional, on purpose) action on your part. God is intentional and He has called you to be the same. This your part, you must follow the plan! Today is a brand-new day! Welcome into 2024, there are 364 days of miracles, signs and wonders left for you to experience, use your time wisely, remember every moment counts! God did it, He brought you all the way through last year and He has started you on in a new year, one that you have never seen before, make every moment count! Be grateful and be thankful on purpose, be intentional! I love you, but God loves you more!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You” for allowing me to be here and experience every day in 2023 from January 1st to December 31st, now Lord, I look forward to what You are going to do in 2024, I’m entering in with great expectations of Your Glory! I’m so grateful; because if it had not been for You Lord on my side…Lord, I don’t even want to think about where I would be, so I’m going to say Thank You! God, I’m ready for whatever You want me to do, my heart is right, and my mind is on you! Father, Thank You! Thank You for allowing me to see a new year! Father I am walking into this year with Great Expectations of what You are going to do in my life in the Now chapter! Father, please forgive me for every time that I pressured You and tried to rush You. Father, help me to take my time and trust You and Your plans for my day instead of me trying to do and make things happen on my own, Father I commit myself to following Your lead! Thank You Father! Father today I will be intentional and persistent in my prayer walk with You. Father, I will seek Your direction in every area! Father, I love talking and being with You and I know that You love when I’m loving on You. Thank You Father for breaking protocol on my behalf this year and for answering my prayer request. Father, I want to be submerged in Your anointing, wash me with Your Word, wash me through and through for Your Glory and for my good! Make your prayer life this year personal! Have a Blessed New Year’s and be excited for what the Lord is going to do in you and through you in 2024, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Today’s Devotional is inspired by my daughter April Stepter, God gave her the word, Intentional!
