BE ON THE LOOKOUT!

8-10-2123. . . .BE ON THE LOOKOUT!

"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matt 25:13 KJV)  

An 'APB' is an ALL POINTS BULLETIN!  It is a message usually issued by the authorities putting everyone on alert to be on the lookout for a certain person or persons!  Heaven is the ultimate authority and has issued it's APB!  Be on the lookout for the Lord, Jesus Christ!  He will descend from the clouds at any moment and at anytime!  BE ON THE LOOKOUT!

PRAYER: Lord, we know that you are coming as you said you would.  We are waiting and we will be watching!  Amen.

Luke 12:39-40. . . ."Everyone would be ready for him if they knew the exact hour of his return-just as they would be ready for a thief if they knew when he was coming.  So be ready all the time. For I, the Messiah, will come when least expected."  TLB 

WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE SHALL BE!

8-9-2023. . . . WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE SHALL BE!

Who do men say that I am? (St. Matthew 16:13-20) 

One cannot ask just anybody this question and expect to get an unbiased answer!   Who we are is not and cannot be defined by the opinions of the general populous!  Neither can it be defined by the select few who are privileged to hold a position within our inner circles. Flesh and blood is incapable of providing this revelation; at best, a glimpse is barely possible. The Father alone knows!  In fact, He has always known!   As we seek Him daily, He will give us fresh revelation of who we are and who we shall be! 

PRAYER: Lord, cause us to be who you ‘knew’ before you formed us!  Have your way in us Lord.  Amen!

Jeremiah 1:4-5… The Lord said to me, "I knew you before you were formed within your mother's womb; before you were born I sanctified you and appointed you as my spokesman to the world." (TLB)

THE LORD'S ANOINTED IS THE LORD'S ANOINTED!

8-8-2023. . . . THE LORD'S ANOINTED IS THE LORD'S ANOINTED!

"David asked him, "Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?" Then David called one of his men and said, "Go, strike him down!" So he struck him down, and he died.  For David had said to him, "Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, 'I killed the LORD's anointed.'" (2 Sam 1:14-16)  

As the Lord's anointed, we don't walk among men with arrogance and a since of entitlement, we walk humbly so as not to position others to be in danger of the Lord's wrath because of their treatment of us!  The Lord's anointed, is the Lord's anointed!   

PRAYER: Lord, we walk humbly before men in full acknowledgement that we represent you!  Thank you for being our protector from all who would do us harm because of it!  Amen.

1 Chron 16:22. . . .'Don't harm my chosen people,' he declared.  'These are my prophets-touch them not.' TLB

FIXATED or FOCUSED!

BLESSED INDEED!

8-3-2023. . . .BLESSED INDEED!

"As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it has taught you, remain in him." (1 John 2:26-27) 

The anointing given to us by God is the Holy Ghost!  He is alive, ever present and resident within us!  He is our guide, our teacher, and He is our assurance of all the promises fulfilled!  We need to recognize that we are blessed indeed and His favor is upon us!

PRAYER:  Lord, thank you for the anointing of your Holy Spirit!  We are sealed and assured of your promise fulfilled.  We are blessed indeed!  Amen.

Eph 1:14. . . . His presence within us is God's guarantee that he really will give us all that he promised; and the Spirit's seal upon us means that God has already purchased us and that he guarantees to bring us to himself. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God. TLB

THE FEAR FACTOR!

 8-2-2023. . . .THE FEAR FACTOR!

"The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. (Ps 28:8-9 NIV)  

Those God anoints He also appoints and those He appoints, He also protects!  Therefore, with boldness we carry out our assignments knowing God has taken away the fear factor! 

PRAYER: Lord, with boldness, we shall go where you tell us to go and speak what you tell us to speak. We will do and accomplish all you have appointed us to do!  Thank you for taking away the fear factor!  Amen.

Isa 12:2. . . .See, God has come to save me! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and song; he is my salvation. TLB

FEAR NOT. . . .EXPECT PEACE!

 8-1-2023. . . .FEAR NOT. . . .EXPECT PEACE!

"Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared." (Prov 3:25-26 NIV)  

Bad things are going to happen and some times, they may even rattle of us!  In those times the Lord Himself will be our confidence to steady and return us to a place of peace.  Fear not. . . .Expect peace!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for always being there for us.  Although, we are some times shaken, you are our confidence and peace.  Amen!

Ps 16:8. . . .I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. KJV
