Good Morning Sunshine! What Are You Carrying?

Mark 4:25 ~ “For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

I want to share an experience I had in December. God sat me down and I mean it literally, and after this amazing encounter with Jesus, I discovered that my heart had been resisting what God was showing me about myself. And instead of embracing His beautiful truth, something deep inside of me tried to keep me in a place that was not good to me or for me. But Thanks be unto God, I didn’t stay there, God saw me through! But this is precisely the result of your enemy, he wants to keep you in bondage and convince you to live in your brokenness instead of the provision that Jesus Christ has provided for you. The enemy will do everything possible to hinder God’s movement through you. Only your faith can unleash the power of God’s promises in you! 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all of your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

If you and I want to see God revealed in your midst, you need to know what He says about you in His Word! I read this quote from Chris Oyakhilome, “When the Holy Spirit comes into your life and you allow Him to take charge of your life, He’ll bring in the anointing. The anointing of God’s Spirit will come upon everything you do.” With the concept of the Anointing of God in your mind, let’s now consider what you are carrying. You are carrying the Anointing! The Anointing! When you carry the anointing, you possess weapons of spiritual warfare that are always loaded and ready for use! You are a carrier of the Holy Spirit’s purpose-driven power and have been made equipped with instructions on how to use it.

I want you to do a self-check this morning on this one, when you look at the fruit of the spirit in your own life, you should be aware of the enemy, he has a lie ready for every truth and a substitute for every holy thing. But you need to know that the devil cannot create anything, he just tries to pervert and slow down the things God creates for you, if he can get his hands on them, (stop giving the enemy access to you.) I hope and pray that you know that there is a real and a false version of everything. And it is imperative that you know the difference between real Anointing and a false anointing. The real Anointing comes directly from the Holy Spirit and carries the attributes, character and Presence of God that will confirm that it’s from the God every time. And because of this you are more than a conqueror, so whenever any kind of challenge presents itself to you, you are prepared to handle it!

I believe that the things that are happening in our society and around the world would be healed if you, the believer learned how to carry and operate in the Anointing that God has given you! When you are carrying the Anointing, this means that you are allowing Holy Spirit to lead you in every aspect of your life, no matter how big or small. So many times, you choose to only use the Anointing for specific times, instead of carrying it with you wherever you go. When God has given you His Anointing you must carry it with you wherever you go, you cannot be separated from it, because when you do that, you are leaving God out too!

The Anointing from God is Authentic! The Anointing is Active! The Anointing is Available! The Anointing is the outflow of His Presence in your life and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the inflow that turns your ordinary into His extraordinary; and the Anointing is the outflow that gives you power to serve. This how God puts His Super on your Natural and this Anointing is a part of the Abundant Life that He wants you to live!

How you walk and flow in the Anointing, is a direct reflection between you and your intimacy with God. The greater your intimacy is, the greater level of Anointing you will flow in! I have some good news to tell you, there is no barriers between you and God except the ones that you create. Now how do you know that you have the true Anointing? It’s when the Holy Spirit empowers you to accomplish any the task in front of you! When you carry the Presence of the Holy Spirit, He helps you do what you need to do, your ordinary becomes extraordinary by the Power and Presence of God!

Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You for this day. Thank You for being with me, guiding me and caring so deeply about me. Thank you, Father, for your unfailing love and constant promises. Today, I am praising You for filling me with Your Anointing. Father fill me with Your Wisdom and discernment, that I may know what is real and from You and what is false and that I will put it under my feet, in the Name of Jesus. Father I plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over me, my family, my friends, my community, city, state and nation. Holy Spirit teach me today how to pray for this world like never before. Father, I ask for Your peace when I become anxious, knowing that I can cast all of my worries, problems, and trials on You. Thank You that You are my Rock and my Redeemer and a very present help in time of need. Father, thank You for carrying me. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! The LORD Is On Your Side!

Psalm 124:1-3,8 NIV ~ “If the LORD had not been on our side-let Israel say- [2] if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, [3] they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; [8] Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

Have you ever tried to convince someone to do something? Or has someone tried to convince you to do something? It looked hard, but you knew that if they tried it, it would be okay! Then they tried it, or you tried it, and it turned out good! Then as you sat down you recounted everything that happened, you saw this and that and then you remembered exactly what happened!  This Psalm is that for the Jew’s, they were recounting what happened on their journey as they traveled through all the dangers along the way, and with excitement they reflected on what they had experienced and thought about what it would have been like if the Lord had not been on their side! Oh, where would you be!

Can you think about a time and say this, “If it had not been for the Lord on my side”, that thing I that faced, that temptation that tried me, that pride that tried to rise up and get me out of character, it would have messed me up! But thanks be unto God, for you know that if it had not been for the Lord on your side, you would been swallowed up!

This If is so important! “If”, If it had not been for the LORD who was on your side! Everything depends on that IF! It spelled the difference between deliverance and disaster. But thanks be unto the Lord, because He was there, and that made all the difference and kept you from disaster! No one has had as many narrow escapes as the Jew’s did. According to the natural they should have been extinct a long time ago.  You know they went through sieges, massacres, ovens, and bombs, and they survived because the Lord was on their side! There was one miracle after another, and the same thing is available for you to.

The sad thing is that they didn’t always recognize that it was God! They thought that they were responsible for their victories, they let their pride get the best of them and they thought it was their own cleverness and power. But thank God for the remnant that realized that apart from the Lord, they would have been exterminated a long time ago if it had not been for the Lord on their side!

If it had not been for the Lord on your side, where would you be? You would be a wretch undone, Isaiah 6:5! A ship tossed out to sea and forever lost, Ephesians 4:24! But God, thanks be unto God, because He was on your side, He protected you from your enemies (which was sometimes you), He let His sun shine on you and kept you dry on rainy days, Matthew 5:45! He cradles you like His baby when you have been battered and torn, God never leaves you alone and when you kneel down to repent and pray, victory will be on your side, because God is inside of you!

Do you know how you have been so victorious? It’s not by your strength, might, power, wisdom, creativity, wealth and riches, that got you over, it was all God, Zechariah 4:6! If it had not been for the Lord on your side, where would you be? It was God that delivered you over every obstacle and overwhelming odds that was against you! Give God “All” the credit for your life, you are standing on His promises! Be thankful that God chose little old you to accomplish the most amazing things to win the largest battles. He turned every impossible into a possible, you serve a God who has no limits to what he can do, Matthew 19:26!

Today, remember that God is not only by your side, but He lives on the inside and to be on God side is always the right side!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for always being on my side, watching and guiding me.  Father, as I look back over my life and I can see Your hand with me through all the things I have faced. You have guided me through adversity and guarded me, even from my own self at times! I am so grateful that You have always look out for me. I can only imagine what trials, calamities, or disasters might have come my way, if it weren’t for the fact that You were there covering and protecting me, even from myself, Thank You! Thank You Father for Your abundance of Grace and Mercy that You pour out on my life day in and day out! If it was not for You on my side, I would have been gone a long time ago, but God! Father, help me to use everything that You have given me for Your Glory! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! You Are Being Enlightened!

How do you find your calling? You just simply pray to God every day to open your eyes of understanding!

Ephesians 1:18-19 KJV ~ “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, [19] And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.”

Have you ever wondered what’s the next step in your life?

Re-read today’s verses, it’s telling you that God is calling you and that should inspire you and give you hope for your future, to know that your Father is calling you and has secured your inheritance. Because God has called you, you don’t have to wonder about your life, just know that His great power is at work in you!

There are three things I want you to do today:

First, I want you to have hope in what God has called you to do! 

Secondly, I want you to know and understand the place that you are in right now is God’s plan and that you are not your own, you belong to Him! 

Thirdly, I want you to recognize His Power that is at work in your life and that His Power is transforming you into what He called you to be and His Power is going to enable you to complete whatever assignment He gives you! 

Your Father is enlightening you and all you need to do is pray and put all your hope in Him, this is your sure inheritance!

Let’s Pray:
Father, I pray that the eyes of my understanding and heart be opened and enlightened.  I thank You for the exceedingly great things that You are going to do for me today. I thank You for Your amazing Power that is at work in me and I have put all of my hope in You! Nothing else matters except for You and what You want! Everything is for Your Glory. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Serving One!

Romans 12:6, 8 NKJV ~ “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; [8] he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.”

This is our key verse today, Romans 12:7 (NKJV) ~ “or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching.” You cannot look at this scripture without looking at the one before it and after it!”

Has God given you the gift of teaching? How will you use your gifts today? It matters to God! In order to teach well you have to know how to serve others well!

Whatever God called you to do, go it well! If you are called to preach, preach well! If you are called to pastor, pastor well! If you are called to sing, sing well! If you are called to sow, sow well! If God called you to serve, then you should serve with all your heart.  When God gives you the gift of serving, you can see a need and you will desire to do something about it, then you are a server, and you serve well, because God put this gift inside of you! It’s a blessing to have this gift, because that’s what God wants all of us to do, “To Serve” and the only way we can do this is to have a “Servants Heart” and a desire to “Sow” into others, and this comes from having a real relationship with God! Remember, serving others is not done for you to get honor, but you serve them because Jesus Christ first served you by giving His life for you (Mat. 20:28)! Everything is for His Glory!

Are you a teacher, then teach well! How do you do this, by being a student! You have got to have a learner’s heart in order to teach well. Every day you are learning something new so that you can teach someone something new. God has gifted you and Graces you for this element (I’m saying this in Apostle Comery’s voice!) Gifts are from God; Talent is what you have when you have taught yourself! Now is this gift from God or is it from you? I pray that your life is leading someone else to Jesus Christ, now this is the ultimate gift of teaching! My prayer for you today, is that you are using your gift of teaching as an expression of your gratitude to God, and how He showed you grace and mercy by redeeming you! Teach what God gives you and then you will teach well because it’s for Him!

God has given you these gifts to Glorify Him. Let the joy of Jesus Christ overflow in you for others. Do all that He pours into your heart for other and let love be the only reason why you do it! These gifts are given to you by God, and they are to be used for His Glory! As a servant of the Highest God, you must, serve, sow and show up every single day!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for Your gifts that You have given me. Father, teach me how to use them wisely for the building up and edifying You, and helping others to come to You. Teach me God how to serve and teach with my whole heart, inspire my mind and incline my ears to be attentive to Your Word, and that I will be the kind of person that You want me to be.
Father, I pray that Your children will come together in unity and use our gifts to Glorify Your Name Sake. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! You Are On Call & On Duty! 

1 Corinthians 7:20,24 NIV ~ “Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. [24] Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.”

How you fulfill the demands of your vocation is a part of you being a disciple of Jesus Christ. Or to put it another way, how you do your job is a part of your obedience to Jesus Christ. 

Do you know that so many people believe that the only way they can serve and live for God is by becoming pastors, or a teacher? How many opportunities have been looked over just because of this mindset? I just need you to know that that is the furthest thing from the truth, it’s not the office they hold, it is the sincerity of their heart; and it is not the position that helps them to do it, but it is the grace of God that enables them to serve and glorify God. God is glorified at the workbench, where the godly worker fulfills his duty of serving the Savior in love. You don’t just need to be in a pulpit or behind a desk to serve God, God will be glorified far more when you humble your heart! 

You can glorify God as the garbage truck driver or bus driver, you can bless God by speaking to His people and offering them living hope through how you live! You will be more useful than the one who stands behind a desk because you have your boots on the ground and you are not peddling the Gospel for profit, but you are glorifying God through servicing the people and operating in your vocation that God called you too! So many times, as the body of Christ you become concerned about what someone else is doing or you complain about what you could be doing for God somewhere else that you miss the great opportunities to serve right where you are. Paul says that those who become Christians should continue with the work they have previously been doing for the Glory of God!

Every job can become Christian job when you realize that it can be an opportunity for you to honor, serve, and to be the vehicle and mouthpiece in the earth realm to speak out for Jesus Christ! God has placed you where you are for a purpose, this place is your call to duty station, and you are on call, so get busy! Take every opportunity to serve Him there and serve Him Well, lives depend on how you respond! Today, do not neglect the path of duty by leaving your current occupation, and take heed and do not dishonor your profession while you are in it. Every profession that is, God knows about it, may every profession be sanctified by the Presence and Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the Bible, you will find some of the most menial forms of labor that was connected either with most daring deeds of faith or with persons whose lives have been illustrations of holiness. You have to operate in your Faith in your calling.

Therefore, do not be discontented with your calling, God knew what He put in you from the beginning (Jeremiah 1:5). Whatever God has made your position or your work to be, remain in that, until He calls you to something else. Let your first concern be to glorify God to the best of your ability where you are. Fill your present sphere to His praise, and if He needs you in another, He will show it to you. This evening lay aside anxious ambition and embrace peaceful content. Lead the life in which God had called you. In whatever state you are called, remain there with God, for this is the Divine call by which you were drawn to believe in Christ. The calling of the Holy Spirit has pulled you into fellowship with Jesus Christ. Simply put, the call of God that came to you, came through the power of God and Gospel of Jesus Christ. “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9. This is for you my Christian brothers and sisters, you received the call, and you answered the call. Jesus said, “Many are called, but few are chosen,” Matthew 22:14, you have been called to bring the Word of God to the world through service! 

Everything happens for a reason, and you need to trust the Spirit of God and follow the peace that He gives. Oftentimes, God will call you to do a thing that doesn’t make sense at that moment but follow the plan anyway. When God calls you to a thing, He has already made the provision for it. God told Joshua, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you … Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:5b, 9, NIV). The same is true for you today. When God calls you, He equips you to the job and the best thing that He equips you with is Himself! 

Let’s Pray:

Thank You Father for a new day. Thank You Father for drawing and calling me into Your purpose. Thank You for knowing me so intimately that You know all my thoughts and fears and you know how to calm me down. Father as You call me, give me a boldness to do what You have prepared me for. Give me the courage and strength to step into my calling. Give me courage and please continue to remind me that You are with me every single step of the way and that You will never leave me. Father thank You for equipping me to follow through and up. Father, I trust and obey You, I know that You will do all that You have promised me. Father, grant me all the grace to be conscious of Your presence in and at my work and to obey all of Your commands in the vocation that You have called me to. Father keep me from complaining, helped me to be committed to Your plan and see Your hand at work in my vocation. Father, I desire to live the life in which You have assigned to me and to do the work that You have called me to. Father I trust You in this season and calling, teach me what I need to learn as You prepare me for my next level of increase. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Can You Perceive It?

Isaiah 43:18-19,25 NIV
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. [19] See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. [25] “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.”

What does perceive mean? To become aware or conscious of something, to discern.

God is paving the way for you through everything, the wilderness, rivers and streams, He has you covered. The only thing you need to know is that God did it because He loves you! Open your Bible and see it for yourself. Did you read it? You no longer have to remember who you use to be, or what you use to do, it’s over, you are free to start again! Everything is new, brand new, He has blotted out your transgressions for His sake! Say it to yourself out loud, I’m Free and I’m New!

You can forget about all of that old stuff; you don’t have to rehearse it anymore! You said that you repented to God, He has forgiven you and forgotten about it too, it’s in the sea of forgetfulness, Micah 7:19! Your Father has given you a makeover, you don’t have to remember your former ways, God has given you a new and clean heart, right thinking and obedience, a new way of living and a new talk, a new walk, new courage and, a positive attitude with unsinkable faith!

Today, can you perceive the New You? A turning is taking place, ahead of schedule in your life! So, be intentional, God has made the way for you to embrace the New! He has you covered and the only thing that you need to have in your mind, is that Jesus Christ loves you, this you know because the Bible tells you so! John 3:16. Free your heart, let go of the old and embrace God’s new for you!

I was going through some papers the other day and I found a candy wrapper that I saved from Dove candy, and it is so fitting for today’s scripture, on the inside of the wrapper these words were penned, “Inhale the future and exhale the past.” Does this speak volume to our scripture? God is doing a New thing! Can’t you perceive it? Here’s the one thing that you have to do, release all the old, you can’t stay in your old place and want to be in your new place! God said it best, “Don’t remember the former things, not the old ways either, because I’m going to do a new thing for you. (paraphrased).”

From this day forward remind yourself of who you are in Christ Jesus, and don’t let anyone bring back or talk about your past! You are a new creature, old things have passed away, and all things are new, 2 Corinthians 5:17! Don’t look back, and don’t go back, you don’t need it anymore, you are New and Free, you just have to see yourself in the New Place!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father, for my brand-new season! Father thank You for taking away the former things and the things of old. Father thank You for making a way in the rivers and streams and making every crooked place straight. Father, lead and guide me as I navigate through this brand-new season! Help me to stay connected to You as my Source, instead of trying to do it on my own! Father, I’m putting all of my trust in You, for this is where all of my hope, healing and happiness comes from! Thank You for a brand-new day to worship and serve You! Open an opportunity for me to share Your Word with someone who does not know You for themselves and draw them to You by Your love, just like You did for me. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Still One!

Exodus 14:14 ~ “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

How are you really doing mentally and emotionally?

Have there been times where it seems liked you were fighting the same battles mentally and emotionally over and over again at the same? This can be exhausting, daily one battle after another battle and each one leaves you more exhausted than the one before!

What is your next move? Your next move is to move out of the way and let God do His job! Your only job right now is, To Be STILL! You have to let go of where you are now and rest in where you are going next! It’s time to embrace the Word of God, “Be Still and know that He is God”, Psalm 46:10!

When you really get tired of fighting, you will be still and the more you say this verse out loud to yourself, the better you will get. The LORD will fight for you (make it personal); you need only to be still; but you have to make this your personal declaration, “The LORD will fight for me; when I become still.” The more you meditate on God’s Word, the more you can see yourself and how you have been getting in your own way and in the way of what God wants to do in you and through you!

Can I ask you a question? How much are you carrying today? If I am being honest with you, sometimes I had carried stuff that was not even mine, I was weighing myself out with Stu that I should have never picked up in the first place. Now how much stuff are you carrying? Is it stressing you out and instead of you just saying no, you just kept piling on the weight, and complaining about how heavy it is. But you wouldn’t stop and be still and now you are tired! I know that we have all done this so many times before.

I would be striving and struggling to be in places that I should have never gone, trying to make what once was, what’s now, I’ve been holding onto thoughts in my heart and mind that are really not there! Free your mind and embrace the release the Spirit of God!

It’s time to be still so that you can hear God, even if you have to ask Him again to tell you, don’t let fear or pride stop you from asking your Father to tell you again what you need to do and when you get quiet and still, He will speak to you.  You just have to make but be sure that you really want the answer to the questions that you are asking Him!

So many times, you have asked God for an answer and when He answered you, you didn’t take heed because it wasn’t the answer you wanted, but it was the answer that you needed! Remember your Father knows exactly what you need, He knows better than you, however He’s not going to force you or make you do anything, you have to lay your want down to receive His Will!

No more going back, no more why me! God is going to strengthen you supernaturally in this next “Still” season! Don’t worry you have not lost any ground and your hold is being tightened so be still, stop thinking about where you should be in this moment and live in moment where you are right now! Put your mind at ease and rest, knowing that God’s Presence is present with you right here and right now!

In stillness lies your strength! Release the burdens, cast all of your cares on Him, Matthew 11:28; your shoulders were not made for this, relax the Lord will fight your battles, just don’t you get weary in doing what is right! God loves making a way in your life, after all the battle actually belongs to the Him anyway! Do you know what’s the best thing for you to do right now, Be Still, Strong and Sure and Believe the Truth of God’s Word! We you learn how to turn over your trust to God’s truth, it will lift off what was weighing you down and now you can be still, because it’s hard to be still when you are weighed down!

This is what I have learned over the years as I have gotten closer to my Father, you will not, become the man or woman that you are meant to be without times of stillness and quietness!  In order to embrace the Presence of God, you must enter into a place of solitude (alone time) and stillness, just you and Him. Quietness and Stillness are two very important things that you must have in your physical, emotional and spiritual life, it helps you grow as you grow!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father for keeping me! Father, today I’m releasing every burden that I’ve been holding on to, (even the ones I never mention)! I’ve given it to You and then I have taken it back, no more, it’s all Yours! I no longer want to or have the capacity to worry and carry this weight, it has held me back to long! May the gift of God’s Grace overpower any feelings that you may have had about yourself that is not like Him! Father may Your Grace be used to do a deep healing in my heart as You fights for me!  Father, please forgive me for trying to fight this battle in my own strength, for I now that I do not have the strength nor power. But I do know that I can do all things through You and when I learn to leave it alone, take my mind and mouth off of it and Be Still, You will fight for me! Father, You are my All in All, my covering, my protection, my sustainer, my keeper and my provider! Father, Thank You for Your Mercy and Grace that You give; I trust You to guide and grow me In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Goods Morning Sunshine! Is It Time To Speak Or To Be Silent?

 Esther 4:14 AMP ~ “For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?”

 “For Such A Time As This!”

The order had been given. Someone is going to if you don’t speak up! The Jews were going to die! Sometimes it seems like an order has been given to destroy you, But God has a bigger and better plan for your life. God has uniquely prepared you for the crisis that you are about to face. Though you may have doubts, trust Him, God has brought you to this place, for such a time as this! God has a plan for your life, and He is going to accomplish something special for His Kingdom!

Just know and remember, God has an appointed time for every event in your life. Do not second guess yourself, don’t be afraid or discouraged, Trust God, and focus on His call for your life, it’s His plan that matters. He has called you for such a time as this, if God woke you up this morning and you are reading this, then this day, Tuesday, February 6, 2024, has been established as a part of your destiny, work the plan! Be faithful to Him, and He will bless you! God has opened up opportunities to optimize His purposes through you and He didn’t place you where you are so that you could just haphazardly walk through this day, it’s on purpose! He placed you where you are right now for His kingdom purpose and His Glory. It’s not based on how you feel, but it’s about your faith!

Today, God has called you “for such a time as this.” It is no accident that you are where you are in your life right now and it’s no accident or surprise that you are doing what you’re doing. God has given you everything that you need to accomplish His purpose your education, experiences, resources, skills and position, He has equipped you for the task at hand!  So, be mindful of the assignment that God has given you to do today so that you don’t miss out on your blessings. Release, that it may be released to you!

I know that sometimes you can get caught up in your own personal issues that you miss what God wants you to do, don’t miss it today. Pay attention because somebody’s life is on the line and you can’t afford to miss these moments, even if it involves sacrifices and denying yourself of what you want? You do know that you are to pick up your cross daily and carry it, some days it will be lighter than other days, no matter what, pick it up and ask Him to help you and He will do just that! You just need to do your part, so are you to speak today or keep quiet?

Today, think about how many souls can be saved when you choose to step up to your assignment that God gave for such a time as this and be obedient!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for saving me for such a time as this! Father, I repent right now for every time I tried to do something my own way, thank You for forgiving me and giving me another chance. Father, turn my heart and my mind toward You and toward the role that You have chosen for me and help me to live it out. Help me to put Your will and Your purpose ahead of my own. I humbly bow before You and ask for Your direction and guidance, as well as Your courage to live out the calling I’ve been given for such a time as this. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Has Established You! 

2 Peter 1:12 NIV ~ “So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.”

There are three words that I’m going to give you the definition for, remind, remember and establish, get them in your heart and spirit.

  1. What does remind mean? To put in mind of something, a cause to remember. 
  2. What is remember? It means to be able to bring to one’s mind an awareness of something that has been experienced or seen in the past. Do you see how remind and remember go hand in hand.
  3. What does establish mean? to make firm or stable; to cause to grow and multiply; to confirm, to strengthen. 

To remember is to remind and to think about it and to not forget! To become established, to be firm, to grow and to be strengthened! Remembering starts in your mind and is filtered through your words and sometimes you shout it from the mountain top, or you as quiet as a lamb, either way, you act according to what you remember! Isn’t this awesome to put the Word of God on the inside of you and when you need it, He brings it back to your mind and you can remember that you have been rooted and established in the Word of God! 

When you hear the same thing repeated over and over, it gets in your mind and spirit and this is crucial for you, because you need to always remember what “Thus said the Lord!” Hearing this should never get old, as a matter of fact, the more you hear it the better you are! When you hear that you are established in the Word and that you have faith, the stronger you become! Ephesians 3:16-19 NIV ~ “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, [19] and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

The more you hear that Jesus loves you, the more you are able to receive and give love, John 3:16! The more you experience favor from God, the surer you become in believing that God provides all of your needs! The more you receive healing from God, the more you depend on Him for comfort and rest! You see the more you hear about God, the greater your memory gets and now you have something in your mind to pull from when you need it! Now you can recall a memory of the Word, which is, you can remember how good God has been to you! 

Every day you learn something about God that develops into a memory, and He makes every effort to see that you will always be able to remember who He is, because He is I Am, That I Am (Exodus 3:14) and He’s everywhere at the same time! What is God trying to bring back to your remembrance that you have not done? Today is the day, to make haste and do what has given you to do, ask Him to bring it back to your mind that you may remember, I know that He may have reminded you before, but He loves you and He will do it again if you are sincere and ready to do just what He has said! 

God is a Keeper if you want to be kept. He will bring everything back to your remembrance for your good and His Glory, 2 Peter 1:13-15, ~ “I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, ¹⁴ because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.” The closer you get to God, the closer He gets to you! He makes every effort to remind you that His Word is there and that His Word is true! 

Proverbs 16:3 ~ “Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Before you do anything, before you say anything, commit yourself to God and every thought you think today, every thought will be Established by God!” Now your first thoughts will be God, second thought God and so forth, everything you do, your work will be Holy Spirit lead which determines your success for this day. Trusting totally in God and not in yourself or on your situation and every plan you make today you will succeed because your thoughts were established in God.

Let’s Pray:

Father, Thank You! Thank You for bringing what I need to do today back to the forefront of my mind! Father, Thank You for always remembering me and keeping me! Father I will always remember You and Your Word, for I delight in Your Will, Ways and Word! Father, continue to pour in me Your Word and Wisdom so that I will always have something to build a memory upon while remembering just how good You have been to me. Father, You are a Great God and every day You get Greater and Greater! In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Loves You!

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.”

God loves you! Did you hear me, God loves you! This is the greatest declaration message in the Bible, its the greatest gift that you will ever receive! God demonstrated His love for you at the ultimate personal cost, He gave His one and only Son for you, just because He loves you, again I say God loves you!

I have a question for you today, who do you love? What sacrifices have you made on behalf of someone else just because of love? God loves you! He sacrificed His life, so that you and I would have life, that’s love! God loves you! Never ever doubt His love for you and don’t let anyone or anything rob you of this life-giving truth. God loves you!

Be intentional God has paved the way for you, embrace the love with an open heart! God has paved the way for you, embrace the all that He has for you! He has you covered and the only thing that you need to remember is Jesus Christ loves you, and you know this because the Bible tells you so from Genesis to Revelations. Free your heart, let go of the old and the love that God has deposited into your heart!

Today, show someone love, and love on them because God is loving on you! Do it with a pure heart and smile on your face! Today make a conscious effort to tell someone that God loved them and that you love them. So many people need to hear those words come out of your mouth, so don’t send a text nor email, call them and say, I love you, that’s it, simple and plain. You can love on them because God first loved you! Walk in Love, Live in Love and Speak in Love and watch how much Love you get back!

Let’s Pray:
Father, I thank You for giving Your darling son Jesus Christ to save me, Thank You for saving me from my sins and giving me life. Please forgive me for the moments that my life did not reflect Your love. I repent right now for every time that I took Your love for granted. Today I fully accept Your love and I’m loving You back. Father, I thank You and praise You with all of my heart. Give me the strength to trust and believe what You say about me is true, I place all my trust in You and Your love. Father let Your love transform me right now and let the redemptive work of Your hand continue to be upon me. Thank You Father that You are making me better with each moment that You are giving me right now in Jesus Christ Mighty Name I pray. Amen!!!
