💗📖 “To know Him is to love Him…” The more we deepen our relationship with God by allowing Him to teach us how to exercise good judgement and discernment in our personal lives, the better we get to know and strengthen our relationship with our Heavenly Father. When we embrace His precepts and make it a priority for the things that are dear to His heart to become close to ours, the more our faith is strengthened. His Word (the Bible) = His will = His heart. Keep your spirit man built up today and take the time “to know Him” a little better by reflecting on His Word. #HeWantsYouToKnowHimBetter⁣⁣

🙌 There is freedom in Christ, and because of God’s love for us, He’s instead given us love, power and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). God’s Word is Truth and as a result of the authority, power and authenticity of His Words, we can go to Him boldly regardless of what we are facing. We can share our heart with Him and seek direction to the purpose that He has on our lives. We are His ambassadors, and He always welcomes us checking in with Him for guidance and insight on the plans He has for our lives and for guidance in doing so. He loves you and will provide for every part of the assignment. Place all of your confidence in Him and boldly go to His throne. He loves you, and He’s waiting.⁣

🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires for our relationship with Him to not be a stagnant. Nope. He desires for your relationship with Him to be organic. It’s His heart that we are constantly growing, strengthening and reaffirming our faith and confidence in Him, knowing that He’ll never fail us. In essence, our goals, dreams and desires should be so deeply intertwined with His plans for our lives that it becomes second nature to consult with Him to make sure they stay aligned. The more we trust and obey Him and that we see Him prove Himself time and time again, the more our faith is strengthened. Start your day off thanking Him for His faithfulness to you AND exercising your faith so that I can be strengthened. #HeWontFail #NoSlack⁣

In most sports, an umpire is one who “(in some sports) an official who watches a game or match closely to enforce the rules and arbitrate on matters arising from the play.” We are loved by God, and His love for us was demonstrated through Christ sacrifice on the cross. It’s a blessing to know that His love didn’t just stop on Calvary! He’s given us peace to weather through every situation in our lives (John 14:27). With that same peace, He desires to “umpire” the state of our hearts and minds. As we focus our minds on Him instead of the circumstance, like an umpire, He will “enforce the rules” of that perfect peace in our hearts (Isaiah 26:3). So, where’s your focus today? If need be, make the adjustment, so the Umpire can play His part in your life. He’s watching and waiting to intervene on your behalf.⁣

🙏 When we stay connected to God, following and remaining committed to Christ, we experience inner peace. While Jesus could have been boastful and harsh because of all His mighty exploits, He chose instead to walk in humility and to deal gently with our hearts. 

⁣

As believers or followers of Christ, we should not only be concerned about sharing the Gospel, but we should have a desire to emulate His character and to honor Him in all we do. God will renew and refresh our souls, if we’ll allow Him to transform us from the inside out and provide us with the peace that only He can provide. Rest IN Him. ⁣⁣

🙌 When we place our confidence in God and trust Him to lead our lives, we are cognizant of God’s love for us. The peace and joy that He’s given us access to is beyond our understanding (Philippians 4:7, Proverbs 3:5-6). 



He desires for our hearts to overflow with His love. Regardless of what’s going on around us, we can put our trust and hope in God. He anchors our souls when everything around us seems to be unstable. Our Father desires to lead our lives, give wisdom and bring peace of mind. May this bring joy to your heart today. God loves you.⁣

Christianity is often compared to battle or combat. Perhaps that’s because spiritual warfare has so many similarities to physical warfare. Furthermore, Jesus alluded to this by referencing our “overcoming” the world (John 16:33). If you have been born again, then through your faith in God and Jesus's victory on the cross, you’ve overcome this world! 



Just take a minute to reflect in the mirror of the Word to ensure that you are dressed for battle this morning with your spiritual armor: breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, etc. (Ephesians 6:10-18). And as it says in Ephesians 6:18, pray in tongues throughout the day and be alert - we’re at war! But there’s no need to fear or be anxious: God is with you and you have already overcome every challenge that may come your way - known or unknown. We have the victory!

Those who put their trust in the Lord can depend on Him for security and protection. He desires to cover you from hurt and harm both physically, spiritually and even emotionally, if needed. In the midst of any tough situations or your enemies, it’s a miraculous think to know that because you have sought safe shelter in your Father inwardly, you can always stand confidently outwardly. ⁣
⁣
🤲 Your life is in His hands. So trust those same hands to guide you where you need to go and to provide for whatever He has called you to (Philippians 4:19). He is faithful!⁣

Like Paul (the author of the book of Galatians), let us commit to being servants and ambassadors of Christ. Regardless of whether we are accepted by man, we can find joy and comfort in the fact that the Creator of the universe has approved you and called you His own. As you represent Him and commit to obeying His will and directions for your life, He will give you the peace, favor and comfort that you need. Let Him lead your life.

☀️ It’s Monday morning - the beginning of a new week - and most of us have the day pretty much laid out already. Truth is, we can make our own plans for our lives and even try to influence the plans of others, but at the end of the day, only the plans and purpose that the Lord has ordained for our lives will last (Proverbs 19:21). 

⁣⁣

He establishes and makes our steps sure and steady (Psalm 37:23). Before you were formed in your mother’’s womb, God knew you, and He knew the plans and purpose He had for your life. Only He has the power to solidify your plans, so put your trust in Him and stay connected so that you can receive instruction and "next steps" from Him. He's got you. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

🙌 We have the awesome responsibility and privilege of representing the King of all kings - the Creator of the universe (2 Corinthians 5:20). We are His ambassadors and that means communicating His priorities and passions, with love and truth being at the core of them. ⁣

🤔 When people think of you, do the words mercy, kindness, and truth come to mind? Commit anew and ask for God's help in more accurately demonstrating the heart of God to others. Not only will it make God proud, but it will bring us favor both in His sight and in the sight of others. He’s there to help us, and as the fruits of the Spirit mature and develop in us, we will be more equipped as His ambassadors. He loves you, and you are the apple of His eye (Psalm 17:8).⁣

Oftentimes, in the process of our decision-making, we unconsciously check in with our intellect and “experience” before we do with the very One who created the brain that curates our intellect and affects our past experiences. He is ALL-knowing and therefore privy to information that you are not. ⁣

So, don’t hastily make important decisions out of anxiety or fear over a lack of time. Our God is the Author of time, but He is not subject to it. So, put your trust in Him and make a conscious effort today to check in with your spirit before moving forward on any serious decision. He loves you and can give you divine insight, wisdom and favor when and where you need it. Trust Him…He’s got you! 🙌⁣

God wants to lead your life, and one of the ways we allow Him to do just that is to entrust our mind and emotions do Him as well by letting Him take the lead.

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! #dailydevotional #wisdom #slowtospeak #quicktohear

🙌 Good morning! God has has blessed you with an entirely new set of mercies today. He is faithful and because of His faithfulness,  we can put our hope in Him. He is consistent, and His heart towards us is compassionate. So never tire seeking God’s direction and/or walking in His purpose for your life. If you’ve missed the mark, His grace is sufficient; if you’ve hit it, it’s still only because of His grace. 

Trust your Heavenly Father’s leading of your life (Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21). Your confidence in Him can be renewed afresh this morning and the next, just like his mercies. He is a good Father!

Weather, people, politics, emotions, culture, climates, prices and even our own opinions can change from day to day, but our God - the One and only true and Living God is unchanging! Furthermore, His Word = TRUTH (John 17:17). 

⁣⁣

🙏🏼 Go to your Heavenly Father about whatever it is going on in your life today, good or bad, and if you need wisdom or a miracle, have faith in Him! Take the time to study God’s Word so that you know what He has to say about the situation and then stand on that Word because it is final. Let God’s Word have the final say in your life. He loves you and will not fail you!⁣⁣

Our God is a “finisher”. He completes every task that His hand is upon. He didn’t start calling creation - as we know it - into existence and then give up because He was tired or no longer inspired. Be encouraged that in a similar fashion, the work that God has begun IN you, whether it’s your purpose, a vision that God has given you or even Him helping you to make improvements in your life (Psalm 138:8), He will complete it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

🙌 He has not and will not give up on you. You can do all things with the help of the Lord (Philippians 4:13) and can complete any task today in Jesus’ name. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣HAPPY SUNDAY!

It may be chilly this morning, but don’t forget to take a bite of the Word this morning. It will do your spirit well. So, why not start with our “fruit”? 😋 The more we grow and mature in our relationship with God, the more we are able to reject carnality. The “fruit” will be visible to those around us; and as representatives of Christ, it’s important that others know us by our fruit, especially love (John 13:35). 

⁣

Ask God for His help in making sure that you are providing the best “environment” for your fruit to be harvested in. Sometimes, that simply means being aware of what we are exposing our spirit man to (entertainment, unfruitful conversations, associations, etc.). So stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. The maturation and condition of your fruit depends on it. ⁣

⁣🙌 When the pressures of this world seem to be blowing in our direction , we have only to lean on God - our IMMOVABLE Rock. He steadies our footing and makes our way clear (Psalm 143:10) because He loves us and cares about our well-being and safety. In a spirit of gratitude for that love, we should honor Him through our words and deeds. ⁣

He is a Holy and righteous God, and He cares about what we spend time meditating on (Philippians 4:8). May our thoughts reflect our respect and appreciation for His love, holiness and the sacrifice He made for us through His Son Jesus. Selah.⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 7th

As believers in Christ, we have received a new identity, but have you truly embraced that identity? We belong to God, and our citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20). Our conversation, values and ways of doing things may appear to be foreign to this world the more we become like Christ and the fruits of the Spirit manifest themselves in our lives. ⁣

Your identity is in Christ; you are redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal.3:13)! You are the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21), you are THE healed (1 Peter 2:24), accepted (Ephesians 1:6), you have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5-8) and so much more! Meditate on who and Whose you are and your confidence on the authority that you have IN Christ will grow. ⁣
