EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE!

3-10-2022. . . .EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE!

"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.  (Mark 1:14-15 KJV)  

The law of repentance says nothing can remain the same, there must be a change in order to operate effectively in the kingdom.  A change in our minds, in our actions and attitude towards life and people!  We are in the world but, no longer of the world.

PRAYER: Lord, we accept your invitation into your kingdom here on earth.  We submit to your will and the process of repentance.  Amen!

2 Cor 5:.17. . . . When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore.   A new life has begun! TLB

STRENGTHEN OTHERS!

3-9-2022. . . .STRENGTHEN OTHERS!

"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." (Luke 22:31-32 KJV) 

Like Simon, Satan's desire is to shake us up, mess us up, and destroy our destiny.  The continual prayers of our Savior however, covers and strengthens us in every struggle.  As He indeed strengthens us, we too must seek to strengthen others along our way!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for your prayers that continually cover and strengthen us.  Help us to in turn strengthen others along our way.  Amen!

Zech 10:12. . . .The Lord says, "I will make my people strong with power from me! They will go wherever they wish, and wherever they go they will be under my personal care."  TLB

KEEP A GOOD ATTITUDE!

3-8-2022. . . .KEEP A GOOD ATTITUDE!

"I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."  (Ps 27:13-14 KJV)  

God operates in His own time zone and our time (Chronos: clock time) is subject to it.  If we measure God's movement or the seemingly, "lack thereof" by our time, we may grow impatient, anxious, and even become faint of heart.  Keep a good attitude (be of good courage) while fully trusting God; knowing that in just the right moment He will strengthen you!

PRAYER: Lord, teach us to trust you more and wait with a good attitude for you to strengthen us in right when we need it most   Amen!

Ps 119:27-28. . . . Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.  My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.  KJV

OPPOSITION EXPECTED!

3-4-2022. . . .OPPOSITION EXPECTED!

"For you have armed me with strong armor for the battle. My enemies quail before me and fall defeated at my feet. You made them turn and run; I destroyed all who hated me. (Ps 18:39-41TLB) 

Opposition is to be expected when one attempts great things.  What God ordains He sustains.  He equips His servants well for every challenge and all haters will see defeat.  Expect opposition and don't be thrown by it!

PRAYER: Lord, you are strong and mighty.  You equip all those you call for every challenge and all opposition. With you we prevail!  Amen.

Ps 28:6-7. . . .Oh, praise the Lord, for he has listened to my pleadings!  He is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trusted in him, and he helped me. TLB

DEFER AND SUCCEED!

3-3-2022. . . .DEFER AND SUCCEED!

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."  (Phil 4:13 KJV) 

What we may lack in our own ability and power, we can fully accomplish through Christ and His enabling power in us.  Simply defer to Him and succeed.  

PRAYER:  Lord, thank you for your enabling power!  There is nothing we cannot accomplish for the kingdom when we defer to you.  Amen.

Eph 1:19-21. . . . I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him. It is that same mighty power  that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in heaven, far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader.  TLB

OUR WORK SPEAKS FOR US!

3-2-2022. . . .OUR WORK SPEAKS FOR US!

"So be careful not to jump to conclusions before the Lord returns as to whether someone is a good servant or not. When the Lord comes, he will turn on the light so that everyone can see exactly what each one of us is really like, deep down in our hearts. Then everyone will know why we have been doing the Lord's work. At that time God will give to each one whatever praise is coming to him. (1 Cor 4:5 TLB) 

As believers, each of us must be true to the work assigned to our hands.  We must be fully committed and give our all to it.  We look not for confirmation nor affirmation from men, but humbly go about our assignment letting the work we do speak for us.

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for allowing us to be apart of your work in the earth.  Help us to go about our assignments with patience and humility allowing our work to speak for us.  Amen!

Col 3:23-24. . . .And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;  Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. KJV

WORK ON SERVANTS!

3-1-2022. . . .WORK ON SAINTS!

"My enemies will fall back and perish in your presence;  you have vindicated me; you have endorsed my work, declaring from your throne that it is good.  (Ps 9:3-4 TLB)  

As challenging as it may be, regard not the many naysayers who have no problem expressing their venomous opinions and judging our call, charge, and commission.  God himself puts his stamp of approval on us (the anointing) and we have no need for man's approval or sanction.  God vindicates his anointed and declares our work good!   So, work on Servants!

PRAYER: Lord, you alone have called us and qualified us to do what we do.  Help us to look only to you for approval and vindication from the accusations of our enemies.  Amen! 

Ps 27:1-3. . . .The Lord is my light and my salvation; he protects me from danger-whom shall I fear?  When evil men come to destroy me, they will stumble and fall! Yes, though a mighty army marches against me, my heart shall know no fear! I am confident that God will save me. TLB
