DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 21st

Some refer to today (Wednesday) as hump day and oftentimes, it comes with negative connotations, but as believers, let’s not forget that our loving Heavenly Father honors those who exalt and worship Him in every situation, regardless of the day of the week. 

Regardless of the circumstance - GOOD or BAD - there is power in our praise. We serve a faithful God, and He holds all power in His hands. He is definitely worthy of our praise, and when we exalt God, we put Him in the proper perspective - above and greater than the circumstance. On top of all that, because He’s a Good Father, He also graces us with favor. So praise through it! He’s more than able to bring you through. ⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 20th

This verse offers us a colorful description of how we should receive any direction or leading from the Holy Spirit and every word that God has spoken to us through His Word [the Bible]. If He says that you are the righteousness of God, redeemed and set free, then that’s settles it: that IS who you are…NEXT! If He says that He’s given you the victory and that you have favor with Him and man, then it’s settled. Walk in obedience and trust His direction every step of the way. It’s past time that we let it “sink in” and “go to the bottom” of our hearts and minds: IT’S SETTLED. I don’t need a Plan B, I can depend on God. He is faithful, and His promises are sure (2 Corinthians 1:20). #ItsSettled #TrustGod AND #Rest⁣⁣⁣

No need to fear, to wallow in bitterness, strife or anger OR to worry when we’ve got the Lord of Hosts on our side. Let God work out THE situation, whatever it is, and allow God’s peace to soothe your mind, heart and emotions. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

You are in the Army of the Lord, and the battle that we are in is not physical, but spiritual. So stay focused on the assignment that what God has called you to, remember the REAL enemy and make sure that you are dressed for battle at all times (Ephesians 6:10-18). Keep your peace and smile. The Lord fights for US! ⁣⁣⁣

🤔 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. ⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 17th

🙌 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

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 16th

The level of our confidence and faith in God will ultimately reveal itself through our actions and words. We serve the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords, who holds all power in His hand (Daniel 2:47, Matthew 28:18) ! NONE can compare to Him…period! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, when we see through His Word that He instructs us to be strong and courageous, we should be honored in rejoice in that Truth because it reveals God’s love for us and the delegated authority that we can walk in us believers. God has not and will not abandon you. His arm is not short (Isaiah 59:1), and He is well able to see you through. Trust His plans for your life and the instructions He has given to you. They are safe with Him, and He will not fail. ⁣⁣⁣

As believers - God’s children - we don’t have to rely on our own intellect and knowledge to exercise good judgement. We only have to confidently ask God for wisdom, and He’ll give it to us (James 1:5). It’s that simple! Godly wisdom provides revelation on how to apply earthly knowledge. It helps us to perceive what what we may not have otherwise understood based on our limited knowledge of situations.⁣
⁣
We have a Good Father! We don’t have to continuously bump our heads because of bad decision-making. God has given us what we need to do the exact opposite. The Holy Spirit is our Helper (John 14:26), and He desires to give insight to us on even the seemingly insignificant affairs of our life. This is so that our decision making can be wise and pleasing to our Heavenly Father. So remember today to: Pray…Pause…Wait for Direction, Then Act. ⁣

Commit ALL of your ways to Him and trust that He knows best for your life (Psalm 37:5). While you were in your mother’s womb, God had you on His mind. He created you with the perfect combination of gifts/talents, personality and purpose (Jeremiah 29:11, 1:5). ⁣

God “created” all that is in this earth so long ago, yet we still are reaping the benefits of what He spoke into the atmosphere in faith. So, don’t forget: you also have been called and set apart for His divine purpose. So place your faith - confidently - in Him. He never fails!⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 12th

Is your conversation overflowing with good or evil? We may be able to fool others for a period of time, but eventually, what’s inside will eventually come out - good or bad - because our words are indicative of the true condition of our heart. Thoughts will become words and then words eventually translate into actions, so be careful about what you allow to be stored in your heart. Only you have the authority to determine whether the conversations you’re a part of, the music or shows you watch, the material you read glorifies God and mines good treasure or bad in your heart. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

🗣🙏🏼” Create in me a clean heart God (Psalm 51:10) so that my words do not deceive or misrepresent You as your child. I desire for the treasure in my heart to honor you so that my thoughts are good, lovely and pure (Philippians 4:8), so give me wisdom and discernment on the things that I’m exposing myself to daily. Thank you Lord for your love and grace to send the Holy Spirit as my Helper, so that I may honor you in word and deed. Amen.”⁣⁣ ⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 11th

When we accept God’s gift of salvation to us and fully surrender our lives to Him and the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we position God to be able to lead our steps and direct our lives. We are His responsibility, and there is no detail too small or insignificant to Him.⁣
⁣
He has a unique purpose for your life and just like the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:5), He desires to set you apart for His use. Don’t waste any more time worrying about the affairs of your life. God’s got you, and He’s sent the Holy Spirit - your Helper (John 14:26) - to help guide you every step of the way. Rest in Him and in His love for you. Commit to take the time to listen to your spirit man and trust His guidance in the affairs of your life everyday.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 10th

🙌 God desires to heal us and make us whole, inside and out; but because He genuinely loves us, He also just wants us to simply trust Him. When we put our faith and confidence in His direction for our lives and what He has said and thinks about us, He can dwell in our hearts and use us for His glory. What an honor it is to be “used” by Him and at His bidding (2 Corinthians 5:20). Soak up His love for you by resting IN Him, meditating on His love letter to you (the Word of God) and keeping your sensitive to His instructions throughout the day (by praying in tongues).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

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. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 8th

A person’s name revealed both the character and/or affiliations an individual had. When God called Abram and made a covenant with Him revealing that He would be the Father of many nations, his name was changed from Abram to Abraham. He stepped into God’s plan and purpose for His life, but His name was changed prior to it even being brought into fruition. In the same sense, we can look at the many names of God (i.e. Jehovah Jireh - our provider, Jehovah Nissi - our Healer). His name(s) reveal His nature, power, and character (goodness, mercy, power, faithfulness, just for starters) to the world. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🙌 Because we know that neither He nor His character changes, we can trust Him (Hebrews 13:8). So, if you have need of anything, simply call on His name. He’s still healing, still providing, still comforting, still making a way out of no way, still fighting our battles, still giving us favor, peace and discernment. Place your trust and confidence in His name. Remind yourself today of all that His name reveals about Who He is to you. He won’t fail you.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 7th

The purpose and plans that He’s given you are unique, and it’s desire to perfect those areas that concern you and use you for His glory. So, don’t give up. He hasn’t given up on you. 🙌 It’s comforting to know that our Heavenly Father always finishes what He starts. From the beginning of time, He has held the same reputation, and it will never change (Hebrews 13:8). ⁣⁣⁣He will not abandon you, and everything that He has begun in you, He will complete it, IF you stick with Him. ⁣⁣⁣He’s not a a quitter, so if you’re game to allow Him work in and on you, so is He. Be encouraged and have a blessed day!⁣ ⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 6th

Happy Tuesday and good morning to you! It’s actually a GREAT morning when we reflect on the goodness of God and His love for us. NO ONE loves you more. ‘Unfailing’ means “constant, reliable, dependable, steadfast, steady” and those are properties that accurately describes His agape love for us. We can always depend on God’s love for us no matter what. When doubts or feelings of uncertainty try to fill our minds, we are encouraged to give them to God (1 Peter 5:7, 2 Corinthians 10:5). So, don’t try to handle things on your own (Proverbs 3:5-6). In exchange, He gives us joy and a reaffirmed sense of hope! Go to Him.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 5th

You are anointed, called & set apart for the special use of your Creator! There’s no good deed or task that we have done, in or of ourselves, to qualify for us. Instead, God’s love for us and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus paved the way for it. The Greater One lives inside of you (1 John 4:4), and the Holy Spirit desires to guide you and give you power. Stay connected to the Power Source, so that you are better qualified to be Christ’s ambassadors and to walk victoriously. You are anointed to complete every task before you today. Don’t forget you’re MORE than a conqueror (Romans 8:37)!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Feel like you need a little POWER boost this morning ? Not only will God provide you with the strength to sustain you throughout the day today, He will also provide you with the protection and security that you need, whether physically or emotionally. Run to Him, sit in His presence and rest! No need to put up your guards, your heart is safe with Him (Psalm 91:2). ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
He has already proven Himself to be a reliable place of shelter in the midst of the turmoils or busyness of life. You ARE divinely protected (Psalm 91:9-12). As you leave out of your home today (“earthly covering”) today, remember you have already stepped into "His shelter" in your mind and heart. ⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 3rd

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⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 2nd

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.⁣⁣
