🤔 Just as He was with His servant Joshua, we can rest assured that God is with us too - only, the Holy Spirit lives IN us (1 Corinthians 6:19). When we receive instructions from the Lord, we have nothing to fear. God is with us, and “They that be with us is greater than they that be with them” (2 Kings 6:16, Hebrews 13:6)!
God has given you the wisdom, insight, favor and the POWER (2 Timothy 1:7) to accomplish all that He’s called you to. So don’t be discouraged or hesitate about obeying the call on your life or following the specific instructions God has given you (Philippians 1:6). He’s backing you up, and He’s equipped you with power to fulfill each and every part of the assignment.

What are you lacking or in need of today? Joy, strength, peace of mind? Provision financially? Your Heavenly Father is a Good Father and well able to meet your every need (Matthew 6:26). His blessings are exceedingly above what we can imagine. So, place your confidence in Him! Keep your faith active throughout the day and your spirit man strong by praying in the Spirit. Receive His peace, joy and strength and confess…
🙌🗣: “My Heavenly Father provides for me!”

The word CONQUEROR refers to one who’s way of life is “to conquer, prevail”. Since we have the advantage of having the the Greater One living IN us as God’s children (1 John 4:4), we have been given the power, ability and title of being MORE THAN conquerors. We don’t just win with God on our side; we gain an overwhelming victory over the enemy and every negative circumstance that comes our way when we obey and follow Him. So put your faith in your Heavenly Father and walk confidently in the authority God has given you.

Regardless of any circumstance that may come your way and regardless of how you may be disappointed by it or people, the fact still remains that our God is faithful! He is not a man that He can lie (Numbers 23:19). You can “take His Word to the bank”! So, commit to stand on His Word by your words, thoughts AND actions. His Word brings life, so keep it before your eyes (Proverbs 4:20-22).
Stay connected to Him throughout the day by praying in the spirit [keeping your spirit man built up]. He is faithful to lead, guide and give you direction and insight throughout the day.
#faithfulness #GodIsGood #vcccharlotte #GodCantLie
With all that is going on in our world, it’s important that we seek God and completely surrender our lives and will to Him. We must lean on our Heavenly Father and draw strength and wisdom from Him.
When we humbly come to Him believing that we can trust Him and that He has our best interest at heart, we will come to find - time and time again - that God will not forsake us. He is pleased by our faith in His Word. He will give us the direction and favor that we need in every situation. He will give us insight on the right words to say, when to move, when to stay and even who to work or associate with. Your Heavenly Father is loving and merciful. So rest confidently in Him.

🙌 Your Heavenly Father cares about every detail of your life. He loves you, and it is His delight to protect you, guide you and keep you. Whether you had an extremely busy week this week or your week was pretty uneventful, God watched over you every step of the way.
When He sees you, He sees the one who was valuable enaugh for Him to send His Son Jesus to die for and redeem (John 3:16). He sees the one who upon forming them in their mother’s womb, He endowed with a unique purpose and plan for His glory (Jeremiah 1:5,29:11). You are NOT alone. His eyes are on you, and you are loved.
#dailydevotional #youreloved #HisEyesAreOnYou #protection
We were never meant to carry the cares of the world on our shoulders. Release and transfer any burdens and concerns you may have to your Heavenly Father. Not only can He handle the weight of any circumstance in your life, but He can strengthen you and “carry you” as well. He will protect you; and by the direction of the Holy Spirit, He will guide you and won’t allow you to slip. Trust Him and follow His lead. He will never leave you or let you down.

Practice praying in tongues today and making a conscious effort to follow this command. It will curate the opportunity for God to speak wisdom to your spirit in different areas before you open your mouth. It may also save you embarrassment, time and resources. God thank you for loving us and thank you for putting a watch over our mouths today (Psalm 141:3) in Jesus name. Amen. Have a blessed day today!

Thoughts are one of the things that we can hide from others, but they eventually reveal themselves because our thoughts will eventually influence and impact our actions. There’s a reason that God tells us to meditate - to center our minds - on things that are pure, wholesome, confirmed by His Word and honorable; He cares about what is on our hearts and our minds even when others are not aware (1 Samuel 16:7).
So, if you’re struggling with anger, impure thoughts, doubt or even trusting God and building your faith, take a look at what you’ve allowed your mind to focus on. Even strengthening our relationship with God - just like any other relationship - demands devoting time to it and studying His Word. Think on those things that honor God and ask for His help to stay focus on those things. He is not only willing, but He desires to help you (Psalm 46:1).

🗣What declaration has your words and life attested to lately? Our words have power! We can seek refuge under the safety of His wings. We are precious to God, and He cares about every detail of our lives (1 Peter 5:7). His hand is steady, and His Word is truth, so you can trust in Him alone (Proverbs 3:5-6). Dwell with Him today…seek His wisdom and direction for your life and rest in His love for you. His banner over you IS love.

Salvation and our relationship with Christ, as a whole, should not be a stagnant one. Continue to grow, learn and study the things of God, so that you develop spiritually everyday. Pray in tongues regularly so that the Holy Spirit - your Teacher - can instruct you and give wisdom and guidance where needed. What a merciful Father we serve! He wasn’t just interested in “saving” us, but after He did, He cared enough for us to perfect those things that concern us and use us for His will (Psalm 138:8)!
🙌God please continue to work in and through us for your good pleasure and purpose. Thank you for the pleasure and privilege of being fit for your use, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

As His children, God has called us to "come out" of the world, its ways and customs and to instead come to and embrace Him. Just like any other good father, He loves us and wants the best for us. He has called us to live a life of holiness and through that lifestyle, we not only honor Him but we distinguish ourselves to the world that we are His children and belong to Him. Not only do we honor God in our physical bodies, but in our conversation, our daily habits and our thoughts. Commit today to let your light shine and to honor your Father in both your deeds and conversations so that the lost might know Him and be drawn to Him.

🙌 🙌 BC (or BEFORE Christ), we were considered “Gentiles”. Because of Christ’s sacrifice for us on the cross over 2,000 years ago, we have been brought near to God and made one with Him (v.13-14), even though previously, sin separated us from God. Thank God that He brought the Gospel (the Good News) to us whether we were Jew or Greek. He thought about it, and counted each and every one of us worthy of saving and redeeming from the curse of the Law BEFORE we were even formed in our mother’s womb. Think about it: What great love God has to have for us, right?
Never doubt your worth or value to your Creator. He has shown us time and time again through His Word and through His actions, that we are loved, cherished and the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8, Psalm 17:8)! You have access to your Father today through the Holy Spirit. Don’t take it for granted. Stir up the gift and stay sensitive to your Father’s direction today. Have a blessed day!

Do you know who you are? Better yet, do you know WHOSE you are? You belong to God if you were born again into His family. He treasures you and has deemed you royalty, so hold your head up king/queen (Psalm 3:3; Proverbs 27:6)! If you were not “fit” for royalty, then God wouldn’t have proclaimed you to be “His people”; He cannot lie (Numbers 23:19).
God not only cares about our hearts, but He cares about our countenance. Does your life and mouth testify of the goodness of God? He cares about how we represent Him, as His “chosen” people, both in deed and in conversation. Who you identify with will eventually influence your decisions and how you live. May we accept and rest IN His love for us today and may He help us today to properly represent Him today both in word and deed.

It’s fruitless to worry and fear about tomorrow and our well being, when we are in the care and responsibility of such a loving and protective Heavenly Father (Matthew 6:25-27). He loves you unconditionally and gave His very best [His Son Jesus], as a result. Nothing can separate you from His love and nothing and no one is more powerful than He. He has ALL power!
It’s #ThrowbackThursday, but the ultimate “throwback” memory that we [as believers] should hold close to our hearts is reminiscing on Who our Heavenly Father is and what His Son Jesus accomplished through His sacrifice. Salvation is a gift to us, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving. He loads us with benefits, His peace and favor DAILY. So rest in His love for you and commit your life afresh to Him today. It’s our reasonable service considering all He’s given.

Been a little worried about the direction your life is heading in right now? Have concerns about whether or not you’ll ever fulfill God’s purpose for your life? Well, this is your reminder that your very steps are ordered by your Heavenly Father. It’s His pleasure to lead you, and He will sustain you every step of the way. Worry and doubt are the opposite of faith. So commit to starving your doubts by building your faith, strengthening your spirit man and growing in your knowledge of God’s Word. Never forget that God’s plans for your life are good (Jeremiah 1:5, 29:11) - He’s a GREAT, GREAT Father. Don’t take for granted the Heavenly prayer language that we have access to as His children. He is faithful to lead you and guide you.

🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires to be near us at all times. He wants to be “in our midst” and to work in and through us daily (John 14:12, Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 2:13). We only have to call His name and come to Him with a pure and humble heart. Regardless of where the paths of your feet tread today, commit your life to God and yield to Him for wisdom in your decision-making. When you do, you set the scene for Him to act on your behalf (Psalm 37:5, Proverbs 3:5-6). Trust in Him. He is ALL that you need. Have a blessed day.

Not only is it God’s desire that we come to Him with our concerns, requests, He also desires for us to have a heart of expectancy and trust that He will answer us and honor His Word.
🙏🏼 So, this morning, go to Him boldly (Hebrews 4:16). If it’s wisdom and guidance that you desire, then His Word affirms that if you go to Him in faith then He will give it to you (James 1:5). If it’s peace of mind (John 14:27) that you need, then it’s your Heavenly Father’s desire to give that to you as well. He’ll show you what to remove out of your life and what to add. He’ll even show you how to better represent Him as His ambassadors on earth. Trust that your Heavenly Father ALWAYS delights in your coming to Him. So go to Him with expectancy.
#dailydevotional #expectation #prayer #vcccharlotte
God’s faithfulness endures from one generation to the next (Psalm 119:90). It does not fail! You can trust and depend on Him. He will protect you under His wings, and no hurt or harm can come near you. Our God = The Truth. He cannot lie (Numbers 23:19). So rest confidently in Him this morning, knowing that you are covered and protected. He loves you #Covered
