DAILY DEVOTIONAL | May 25th

☀️ RISE & SHINE! What are you facing this morning? Regardless of what it is good or bad, realize that you are NOT facing it alone. So, the next time a negative thought tries to cross your mind about the “gravity” or weight of the circumstance, re-adjust your thinking and ask [God]: “What are WE facing today?” ⁣ ⁣

Your response should be: Romans 8:31 (take a peek). Give it to God and be encouraged! God is with you! Nothing is too difficult for Him. Trust the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance and accept His peace (John 14:27). He is with you and will never abandon you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

As believers, we experience a degree of freedom that is foreign to those who do not have a relationship with our Heavenly Father. We have been redeemed from the curse of the law, and it’s our Father’s desire for us to no longer be bound by shackles of sin. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

We are not bound to our past or present circumstance. We can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13) and because of that independence from our sin nature (in salvation - John 3:16). Trust His plans for your life are good (Jeremiah 29:11). Walk boldly and humbly in your freedom in Christ! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

There is no need to fear when the Lord is on your side (Romans 8:31). Those that put their confidence in their Heavenly Father not only please Him (Hebrews 11:6), but they are safe and protected by Him. Your dreams and well-being are covered in Him.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So remain faithful to Him. Keep your spirit man built up today, so that you stay closely connected to Him for direction throughout the day. #HesGotYou⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

When we walk in humility and cast down our cares, pride, anxieties, and worries and lay them at the feet of Jesus, not only do we better position ourselves for our Father to watch and protect us, but He also desires to honor us as we serve and represent His Kingdom. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

If we were really equipped to carry all of the load ourselves, we wouldn’t be encouraged time and time again in God’s Word to give our cares to God. Trust that God knows best for your life and stay connected to Him for the direction so that He can lead you. He is faithful, and He will not abandon 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 be sure to take a minute to reflect in the mirror of the Word to ensure that you are dressed for battle this morning with all your spiritual armor intact: the breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, etc. (Ephesians 6:10-18). ⁣
⁣
In addition, we are encouraged in Ephesians 6:18 to pray in tongues throughout the day and to be alert - we’re at war! However, there’s no need to fearful or anxious: God is with you, and you have already overcome every challenge that may come your way - known or unknown. We have the victory! #IAMVICTORY⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | May 20th

🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires for our relationship with Him to not be a stagnant. Instead, 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 we stay aligned with Him. The more we trust and obey Him, the more our faith is strengthened. Start your day off thanking Him for His faithfulness! He won’t fail! ⁣ ⁣⁣

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 daily. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

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 NEVER forsake us. He is pleased by our faith in His Word, and 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 and ALWAYS has your best interest at heart. So rest confidently in Him.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

God is pleased when we wait and trust in Him expectantly (Hebrews 11:6). Whatever He has promised, wherever He has directed you to, continue (or start) to trust and obey that He will bring it to pass and that He knows best for your life. He is not a man that He can lie (Numbers 23:19) - He is faithful! The joy of the Lord is your strength, so walk boldly in obedience to whatever God has called you to. He will not leave you. He will not forsake you. He will not fail! ⁣

God loves us, and it is His desire that we not only learn His Word (His will), but that we gain a true understanding of the heart behind it. His Word truly restores & refreshes our souls (Psalm 19:7). He is faithful to us, and when we familiarize ourselves with what is important to Him, we gain wisdom and peace of mind in the process. In addition, He’s given us the Holy Spirit to give us godly wisdom as well. 

🙏 So, keep your heart open and tender so that you are able to gain a better understanding and become better representatives for the Kingdom of God every day. We have the privilege of being His ambassadors. You are blessed! So never take the breath in our lungs for granted. #Grateful⁣

God desires to give us “skillful and godly wisdom” - insight that we may not have been privy to otherwise. So, stay connected into your Spiritual Headquarters by praying in the Spirit. It’s your Father’s desire to give you direction and guidance for your life as you seek His will for your life. God’s got your back; put your confidence in Him. Have a blessed Saturday! ⁣⁣ ⁣ #iamvictory #dailydevotional #trustinGod #wisdom #confidenceinGod #knowledge

💪 Be bold. We can draw our strength from God spiritually and sometimes it can manifest physically. We have the privilege of His boldness operating on the inside of us so that we can we can represent Him properly and share His love with the world. ⁣

Rest in the authority and power that we have through the power of His Son Jesus. ⁣⁣

True wisdom comes from God. May godly wisdom and the fruit of the spirit bear witness in our lives so that we are better representatives of Christ in how we interact with and allow the love of God to operate in our lives towards others. ⁣

🙌 Thank you Lord for loving us enough to give us your wisdom and for the privilege of representing you here on earth!⁣

You have nothing to fear: greater is He that is WITHIN us then He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Don’t let doubt have your heart or the enemy have your ears because we serve a God Who never fails and Who can’t lie (Numbers 23:19), so don’t you dare listen to the enemy’s [lies]. We have the victory IN Christ. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

It is still God’s desire for us to put ALL of our faith in Him. After all, the fear and reverence of God is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7), right? We cannot access true wisdom - Godly wisdom - without God. God is all powerful. There’s nothing too hard for Him, and no one who can stand against Him (Romans 8:31). So, instead, trust God for His wisdom, wait for His guidance and place your confidence in Him. #HeIsAble⁣

🙌 When we have a true understanding of God’s love for us, we place our confidence in God and trust Him to lead our lives (though 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. Let this bring joy to your heart today. God loves you.⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | May 10th

For the believer, praise and thanksgiving should be a daily mindset. We have so much to be grateful for: love, joy, peace and favor. More importantly, we have the promise of eternal salvation. If nothing else, you have a reason to be eternally grateful and to show God by honoring, sharing His love and properly representing Him everyday. Even in your homes, you have the opportunity to offer up praises this morning. So, don’t miss out! #HappySunday

Good morning! Self-check time: have you been honoring God with the portion He has entrusted you with? Be content with the season and things that you have been given and trust and believe, God will honor His Word, and you with an even greater portion. Be patient and trust God to reveal what you can learn in and from the season that you’re in. He is a good God and is faithful to His promises. Hallelujah! ⁣⁣Have a great weekend!

🙌 If we have accepted Christ in our heart, then we are God’s CHILDREN and therefore, His responsibility. He doesn’t want us to waste time being anxious over the cares of this world. Our attitude and character should mirror our Fathers. So “seek” after the Kingdom of God and His ways, and He’ll provide (Philippians 4:19).

Come against worry and fear in the name of Jesus! You are in His hands and when you busy yourself with His business (Kingdom business), He’ll take care of yours. Release it to Him and REST. Happy Friday!

The Holy Spirit is our Guide. He desires to order your steps and direct your life (Psalm 37:23), so let Him! When you reflect on all that He’s blessed you with today also be grateful for the things He’s removed from your path without you even being aware. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Oftentimes, the path that we are on in life has already been “straightened” for us, and we’re not even made aware of it - that’s the kind of good God we serve. You are loved and precious in His sight and the location of both your steps and heart is important to Him. Trust in Him and rest (Proverbs 3:5-6)!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | May 6th

Our relationship with Christ after salvation 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)!⁣ He will guide your footsteps and provide insight where you need it.

⁣ 🙌 God please continue to work in and through us for your good pleasure and purpose. Thank you for the privilege of being set apart for your use, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
