GOD OVER ALL LIES!
It has been said "you will never make it", you will never succeed", "you are worthless", "you have no purpose", but I am here to tell you, those are lies!!! Those are lies from the enemy! God created everything, including you and it is "ALL GOOD!" You will succeed! You will make it! You have PURPOSE! DECREE AND DECLARE I AM VICTORIOUS! I AM A WINNER! the enemy IS A LIAR AND A DEFEATED FOE! I DECREE AND DECLARE GOD OVER ALL LIES! Prayer: Thank you Lord, for protection from all lies spoke over our lives. In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 NIV There is a story, several stories, that speak to the mentality of people and/or animals who are caged for sometime and when the doors are opened; they remain in the cage. These stories shine a light to the mentality of being in a "locked in" mindset.
I want to encourage you today, evaluate your mindset. Are you "locked in" to what is comfortable and fear "moving out"? Are you "locked in" a position that you know is not where God will have you? Are you "locked in" by your own thoughts of disappointments and failures? FREEDOM is available for you. You can break free from the cage/cages that have you "locked in". I know the Master Locksmith who has made freedom available for you. He has opened doors for you that you cannot see. He is waiting on you to take the first step. Trust Him. There is peace in His FREEDOM. There is joy in His FREEDOM. There is hope in His FREEDOM. There is healing in His FREEDOM. Prayer: Thank you Father God, for FREEDOM. It is a blessed assurance to know you are the Master Locksmith who opened all doors that hold us captive. We give you glory, today. We give you praise, today. In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1, KJV The worldly meaning of net worth is what you own minus your debt. Some own less then their debt (negative net worth), and some own more than debt (positive net worth.)
Christians operate in a positive net worth, because their debts have been paid in full! Because of Jesus shed blood on Calvary cross, your debt is paid! Many are seeking wealth, and that is not a problem, but when you are seeking wealth before God, there is an issue. God will place you before great men, he will direct your paths, and he will divinely provide you kingdom connections that will richly bless your lives when you seek Him first. Trust Him. We do not have to beg, borrow, or steal to have blessed marriages, blessed children, blessed finances, blessed businesses, and other blessings you desire. There are many promises from God in the Bible. Read and meditate on the promises. Seek Him. Believe Him. Speak life. I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread (Psalm 37:25). If you trust Jehovah Jireh to be your provider, then you know He will take care of you. Spend less time networking and more time discovering your worth and God will do the rest. Prayer: Thank you, Lord. You are mighty! You are strong! You are omnipotent! Help us to see our worth. Remind us the debt has been paid! Help us spend more time with you daily. Please order our steps according to your will for our lives. We give you glory and honor! In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalm 37:25 KJV Scripture: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 KJV We desire God's Mercy.
He desires Obedience. We desire Victory. He desires Exaltation. A true MOVE of God requires relationship. If you are desiring a right now MOVE spend time with him. Most importantly, listen. As the Holy Spirit was directing me today, he reminded me of the wind. I could feel the wind but I could not see the wind. I could feel the wind but I could not hold it in my hand. But I could feel I was in the presence of wind. The wind touched my face, it moved things around as I watched. When we are in relationship with God, we feel his presence. We may not see him or be able to hold his hand. But we can feel his touch, we see him moving things and people around us. We know the presence of God. MOVE Prayer: Lord God we thank you today for your presence. Move us where you want us to be. We desire to be obedient to your will and way. We desire to exalt you at all times. We give you glory! We give you praise! In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen. Exodus 33: 22-23 NLT Preparing a recipe requires ingredients. For example, when preparing a cake, most require milk, eggs, flavoring, and sugar. If you forget an ingredient your cake will not rise. There is nothing like a hot, golden piece of pound cake when the right ingredients are put in the mixing bowl.
Christians need the right ingredients. Do you know God has put in everything you need to get out what He desires. However, have you heard the saying too many cooks in the kitchen? Are you adding extra seasonings to an already prepared dish such as unforgiveness, jealousy, hatred, prejudice, doubt, and/or fear? Are you removing vital ingredients such as love, joy, peace, forgiveness, and/or grace? I recommend you tap into what God has put in! What God has put in is exactly what He wants to get out; that his glory be revealed!! Prayer: Lord we desire to be used for your glory. Help us remember you created us for your glory. Help us remember you have put in everything we need to do your will. Give us strength to tap in to the power we have through you to plant seeds, to speak life, to move mountains, and set others free. We give you all glory and honor, in Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous, how well I know it. Psalm 139: 13-14 NLT ESCAPE
ESCAPE ESCAPE How do you escape the thoughts of the mind? The thoughts of past failures? The thoughts of depression? The thoughts of worthlessness? The thoughts that crowd your mind and distract you from your purpose? I want to say it is easy but I know it to be a daily struggle. I want to say it is easy but I know it takes strength. I want to say it is easy but I know you can not do it alone. Surrender....give all that you have and all that you are to your Creator. Pray for His strength. Meditate on His Word. Meditate on His promises. Trust Him. The word of God tells us to cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor 10:5). Think on what is true, noble, pure, lovely, right (Phil 4:8). Keep your mind stayed on him and he will give you perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Trust Him. Prayer: Lord God we know you are Omnipotent and nothing is impossible for you. We thank you for the strength and the power to block every negative thought from our mind and speak life from our mouth. We give you honor and glory. In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 KJV The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, according to Scripture. Psalm 37:23
Not the steps of a great man...perfect man...but the steps of a good man. What is a good man/woman? I am inclined to believe a good man knows the Lord. A good man (woman) has accepted Christ and on the journey of being Christ-like. A good man is leaning not to their own understanding. A good man is walking by faith. A good man submits to the will of God. A good man picks us his/her cross. And the Lord is there every step of the way. The Lord is leading, guiding, and teaching the good man (woman) along the way. The Lord is opening doors, forming kingdom connections, making ways out of no way, and forgiving the good man as they step. Your steps, your journey, your healing, your pain, are a part of God's plan and purpose. You do not have to be great. You do not have to be perfect. Just be good. Trust Him as he orders your steps. Prayer: Father God, thank you. You are a mighty God who deserves all praise. Thank you for ordering our steps. Thank you for opening doors in the spiritual realm. Thank you for making crooked paths straight. Thank you for kingdom connections. Thank you for forgiving our sins. Thank you. In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Psalm 37:23 KJV In this world you will have trouble.
Matter of fact, we are reminded of that very thing in the word of God. BUT.... is a powerful word. Yes this will happen, but.... You are in a storm right now, but... You loss a loved one, but... You have some worry now, but... You have a broken marriage now, but... You have doubt now, but.... There is something on the other side of your but... JESUS!!!! He has overcome the world! You can have peace in the midst, while waiting on your but... Be encouraged! Whatever your trial, tribulation, or test may be There is a BUT coming your way!! Be encouraged!!! Prayer: Thank you Father God! You sent your Son, who overcame the world, and now we can have peace. We give you glory, honor, and praise for your love. We bless your name! We thank you in advance for the but that will shift the atmosphere of our troubles! In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6 KJV There was a man whose wife had many affairs. She would leave with men and the man would forgive and return her back to the home. She would continue to have affairs and had children that may or may not have been her husbands.
How uncomfortable and difficult that must have been. Family talked about him, friends talked about him, everyone talked about him. His wife did not understand. However, because God told him to stay, told him to go get this wife, told him to love her, the man stayed. And eventually, she found help, she repented, and God healed the marriage. A true example of forgiveness, love, hope, and trusting God's will. Are you willing to do whatever God ask of you? Are you willing to really stay on the job where the supervisor speaks negative daily? Are you willing to walk away from the relationship that makes you feel good? Are you willing to give a random person your last dime because God told you to give? We often pray, "let your will be done," but will often operate out of our flesh and own desires. God has a bigger and better plan. His will is better than our ways. Whatever God is telling you to walk away from, do it. Whatever God is telling you to walk toward, do it. Trust Him! Prayer: Lord, you are mighty and strong! You are loving! Please give us strength to trust your will over our ways. We know your will is best for us. We love and adore you. Today, we will submit to your will and trust your way. In Jesus name, Amen. Scripture: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10, KJV |
