Good Morning Sunshine! God Is Who He Says He Is! Believe It!

Exodus 3:14 NKJV ~ “And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.”

There are times in life when we cry out to God for clarity, but instead of answers, He gives us His Presence. When Moses stood before the burning bush, overwhelmed by the weight of a calling far greater than himself, he asked the one question we all tend to ask in seasons of divine stretching: Who do I tell them sent me? God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” This wasn’t just a Name, it was a declaration of divine sufficiency!

I AM means God is not confined to a single role. He is Provider, but not just that. He is Healer, but not only that. He is all of Himself at all times. There is no fracture in His identity and no limit in His ability. Whatever you need, He is!!He’s not searching for the solution, He is the solution! He doesn’t evolve into what you need; He already encompasses it fully!

This Name is both comfort and confrontation. It will comfort you because it assures you that you are never without access to what you need. It confronts you because it challenges your dependency on people, positions, and temporary provisions. I AM is the answer to every cry of insufficiency in your lives. When you don’t feel strong enough, wise enough, healed enough, or whole enough, I AM fills the gap!

God didn’t fill in the blank for Moses, and He won’t fill it in for you either. That’s because He wants you to declare who He is to you. In your pain, you may say, He is my Comfort. In your confusion, He is my Clarity. In your waiting, He is my Patience. This is personal. This is holy. This is relational. And that is what God desires, a heart that doesn’t just know His name but knows Him.

Sometimes life doesn’t give you neat answers. The bills may still pile up. The doctor’s report may still sound uncertain. The door may remain closed. But when you know that I AM is with you, you gain access to the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Because when you have Him, you have everything, even if you don’t have anything else!

I AM means He has no beginning and no end. He’s not late. He’s not confused. He’s not caught off guard. He is already standing in your tomorrow, holding together the pieces of your today, and rewriting the trauma of your yesterday. That’s who He is. And He wants you to know Him in this way, not just in theory, but in truth! This Name doesn’t need marketing or promotion. It is eternal and self-sustaining. He doesn’t need help to be God!

He never runs out of mercy, never exhausts His supply, and never retreats in battle. When He speaks, stars form. When He moves, mountains tremble. And when He declares I AM, everything else must bow to His sovereignty. So, when fear whispers, “You’re not enough,” answer back with faith: He is! When doubt says, “You won’t make it,” your spirit can rise and respond, He is my strength! When the night is long and hope feels faint, remember, I AM is the Light in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome Him (John 1:5).

God’s Name is your weapon, your refuge, and your inheritance. You don’t need to know the outcome when you know the One who already is! Don’t wait for circumstances to validate His Name, worship Him now, right in the middle of the unknown. Declare: “You are I AM to me.”

Let’s Prayer:
Father, I come before You in awe of Your name, I AM. You are not a theory, not a distant idea, but a very present help in time of trouble. I lift my hands and open my heart to acknowledge You not just for what You’ve done, but for who You are. I exalt You above my feelings, above my circumstances, above my limitations. You are God, and besides You there is no other. You are I AM in every space of my life. You were there in the moments I almost gave up, and You sustained me when I didn’t even have words to pray. You are I AM in my family, healing generational wounds and releasing restoration. You are I AM in my mind, silencing fear and rewiring my thoughts with truth. You are I AM in my identity, calling me chosen, holy, and dearly loved (Colossians 3:12) even when I saw myself as unworthy. Father, let the revelation of Your name bring revival to my soul. Burn away every false idea I’ve had about who You are. Uproot every lie that says I need to earn Your love or qualify for Your help. You are not moved by my performance but by Your covenant. You said You would be I AM, and You cannot lie. You were I AM before I knew I needed You, and You’ll still be I AM when the dust settles. I rest in the fullness of who You are. I worship You not because I have everything, but because I know You are everything. You are Bread when I hunger. You are Living Water when I thirst. You are my Defender when I am attacked, and my Shepherd when I’ve lost my way. You are the Resurrection when things die, and the Door when all others close. Father, be I AM in every room I walk into, every conversation I have, every decision I make. Let the authority of Your name be the banner over my life. I don’t just want to know about You, I want to know You intimately. Speak to me, walk with me, stay with me, and let the weight of Your name settle upon my heart. In the powerful, limitless, and eternal Name of Jesus Christ, who is I AM, I pray and seal this prayer. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Requires Your Yes! 

Hebrews 11:8 ~ “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”

God will not force His Will upon you, but He invites you into partnership with Him. His plans for you are good, His purpose is perfect, and His direction is sure! Yet, He requires your yes to bring His Will to completion in your life! Saying yes to God is more than just words; it is a commitment to follow Him, even when the path is unclear. (James 1:22). It is a declaration that you trust His ways over your own, that you will lay down your fears and step into obedience. It is an act of surrender that says, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

Throughout Scripture, you see God using ordinary people who gave Him their yes, Abraham said yes and left everything familiar, stepping into God’s promise without knowing the destination! Moses said yes and led God’s people out of slavery, despite his own insecurities! Mary said yes and became the mother of the Savior, surrendering to God’s divine plan! Jesus said yes in the Garden of Gethsemane, accepting the cross for the salvation of the world! God is still calling His people today. He is calling you, He is asking, “Whom shall I send?” He is waiting for those who will respond, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”

I know that saying yes to God is not always easy. It requires trust! It may mean stepping into the unknown, releasing your comfort, or walking in faith even when you don’t have all the answers. However, every yes to God unlocks new levels of purpose, blessing, and intimacy with Him! Will you give God your yes today? Will you trust Him with your life, your plans, and your future?

Many times, the enemy will attack you right before you say yes to God. Fear creeps in. Doubt whispers that you are unqualified. The weight of past failures makes you question if God can really use you. This is what happened to Moses. When God called him to lead Israel, he immediately gave excuses, “Who am I that I should go?” (Exodus 3:11)! “What if they don’t believe me?” (Exodus 4:1)! “I am slow of speech and tongue.” (Exodus 4:10) Yet God’s response was clear: “I will be with you.” (Exodus 3:12)! He is the same God today that He was yesterday, and He will be the same God today and tomorrow and forever more!

God never calls you because you are capable, He calls you because He is able! Your yes is not about your strength; it is about His Power working through you! Give up the excuse and give God your yes! So, what is really holding you back from giving God your yes? Is it fear of failure? The need for control? The comfort of familiarity? Whatever it is, lay it at His feet today and trust that His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9)! 

  Your yes had a ripple affect! Picture this, a small pebble dropped into a still pond. The moment it touches the water, ripples spread outward, reaching far beyond the initial impact. This is what happens when you say yes to God. Your obedience does not just affect you; it creates a ripple effect that touches lives, families, communities, and generations. Abraham’s yes led to the birth of a nation. Mary’s yes brought forth the Savior of the world. Your yes, no matter how small, has the power to change lives forever! 

Consider the unnamed boy in John 6 who offered his five loaves and two fish to Jesus. In his hands, it was just a small meal. But in the hands of Jesus, his yes led to the miraculous feeding of over five thousand people, with leftovers. What if he had held back? What if he had decided his offering was too insignificant? This is the beauty of surrender; God takes your yes and multiplies it beyond what you could ever imagine! 

Let’s Pray:

Father, I hear Your call, and today I choose to respond. I say yes to Your Will, yes to Your purpose, and yes to the journey You have set before me. Father, I surrender my fears, my doubts, and my need for control. I trust that Your plans are greater than mine, that Your ways are higher, and that when I step in obedience, You will provide every step of the way. Like Abraham, I say yes even when I don’t know where You are leading, but I trust you. Like Mary, I say yes even when I don’t fully understand Your plan. Like Moses, I say yes despite my weaknesses. And like Jesus, I say yes even when surrender requires sacrifice. Use my life for Your Glory. Let my yes be my offering! My surrender be my strength! And my obedience be my worship! I declare today that I will follow You wherever You lead! Here I am, Father. Send me! In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen and Amen!

Blessings…

Have a Blessed Weekend…

And listen to this song and give God your yes, simply because you love HIM!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good Morning Sunshine! The Glory of God Is Covering You Today!

Exodus 3:14 AMP ~ “God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to 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? (Stop looking for God to come to you the same way that He did last time, He’s coming to you in a new way!) 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 being 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! No further explanation needed!

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 yourself sending you! Know what you have been called to do and do that thing! Everything has already been prepared and His Glory has gone 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 can 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 us all night long! Thank You that You are keeping me all night long, Father I’m so grateful! Father, You have allowed me to be alive and well for 120 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 for me to do this day! Father, I thank You for Your Glory that will meet me today and I thank You for entering my life and letting everything that is not like you to exit my life! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Have You Welcomed In His Presence Today?

Psalm 139:7 KJV~ “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?”

How amazing it is to be in God’s Presence and to see His Glory hovering over you wherever you are!

When you desire more of Him, He will give you more of His Presence, which provides you with all of His promises that He created for you in the beginning! Today, do you desire a deeper relationship and devotional life with God? If so, you can have it when you surrender it all to Him, I promise you will never be disappointed when you ask for more of God, you will receive more of Him. And He will give you more of His Wisdom, love, peace, joy, discernment and a better understanding of His Will and His Ways. When you seek Him more, you will receive more of Him today than you did yesterday, and you will be greater for today!

Your Father is everywhere at the same time, He is Omnipresent! Today, there is nowhere else you should desire to be except in Your Father’s, Presence, that’s where His Glory resides! Did you receive this? You are never alone when you have God, God is always with you, everywhere you go, He goes! It is in God’s Presence, that your call becomes clearer! It’s in His Presence where He talks with you! It’s in His Presence that He walks with you! It’s in His Presence that you find joy! It’s in His Presence that you find peace! It’s in His Presence that you will find love!

It’s in Presence where His Glory shows up and changes your life! It’s in this place, His Presence, that His Glory appears, and there is no other place you should want to be! Exodus 33:17-18 ESV~ “And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” This scripture should touch the core of your heart, your Father knows you personally, He knows your whole name and who you really are! Because you are seeking Him today, He is going to do that thing you asked of Him! This is your shouting moment, Glory Hallelujah!

So, what are you asking God for today, are you like Moses, and just want Him to show you, His Glory! Or are you like Solomon and you just want wisdom. Whatever it is God is going to do it for you today! Out of all the things Moses could have asked for, He only asked God for one thing and that was to show him, His Glory, he knew everything else would be added when He chose God! When you choose God, He adds everything else that you need, and He will give you the desires of your heart!

So, what do you want today? Choose something that will last, something with substance, something that will add any value to your life! And remember, no matter where you go, the Spirit and Presence of the Lord is always right there!

Let’s Pray:
Father, today I will open my mouth and declare Your goodness before everyone that I meet. Father, today I seek to be in Your Presence and desire for You to show me Your Glory and I will sing of Your praises all the day long. I will declare I’m victorious because of what You are doing in my life, and I belong to You! Father, Thank You for Your promises and everlasting Presence that covers me and everyone that I am concerned about. Father, there is nowhere that I want to be, except in Your Presence, for Your Glory and my good, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen!

Blessings…

Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Time To Move Out!

Deuteronomy 1:6,8 NIV ~ “The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. [8] See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the LORD swore he would give to your fathers-to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-and to their descendants after them.”

It’s Time to Move Out! You’ve Been Here Long Enough!

The Israelites were almost finished their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness and the new generation was getting prepared to enter into the promised land. While the Israelites were at Horeb, God spoke to them and said it was time to move! He commanded them to go to the place that was promised to them, it’s where their future is. Moses told them about what had happened earlier, as a warning so that they would not to repeat the same mistakes. He reminded them that God has spoken and what He expects from them after He had spoken!

Have you ever heard the saying, “you can lead the horse to the water, but you can’t make him drink it.” Well God had prepared the land and set it before them (you) for their taking, but they still had to take possession of the promise (you too, you have to take possession of what He put in front of you, He has put it there, but you have to get it)!  It’s just like us, we get comfortable in a place, and we just settle thinking that’s all there is, we start to enjoy our own place of Horeb.  Mount Horeb is a place of instruction, the place where you are being prepared to do what God has called you to do. It’s not the place where you are to settle in as your permanent place, Mount Horeb is a temporary place, remember that!

Mount Horeb, is not the only place that God has for you! This was your place of transition, to move from where you use to be, to where you are going! It’s your transformation place, I know that you are enjoying where you are, but the time has come for you to move out and up! And in this new place you must do what God tells you to do, period! (Deuteronomy 12:1)!

Don’t you feel the pulling and tugging of the shift? This is your time; God has been preparing you all along the way so that you would be ready when the time came! It’s the Word of God, that you are hearing, telling you, it’s time, time for you to move out? And as it is with any journey, there will be risks. Yes, you will have to move outside of your comfort zone, you will have to say goodbye to some relationships in order to form new ones, you will have to do some new things, differently from what you have been used to doing. It’s time to stop watching what others are doing and watch what God is doing! And know this that with every risk, there will be great rewards!  It’s when you leave Mount Horeb that you come move into the Promise Land, the place of peace and promises! I believe that the God is speaking to you and me and saying that Now Is The Time! It is time that to go up and possess your Promise Land.

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father, I ask that Your steadfast love would be upon me this today according to Your promise. Father, please don’t take Your Word of truth from my lips, for I know that all of my hope is found and fulfilled in You. Father, forgive me for not listening to what You revealed to me the first time. Father I cherish Your revelation and the Words that You have spoken to me. Father, help me to keep Your commands as I continue walking in Your Will and Way in all the areas of my life. Father, grant this now as I turn to Your Word and follow them all the days of my life.  Father, cause me to never to be comfortable in a temporary place but to always be alert and to listen to Your voice as You speak. Father, thank You for keeping me and helping me not to make another round in this same place, and I receive my new place of now! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
