Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

My Dearest Child,

Know that I love and care for you. I carry all your burdens, when you cast them on me. Trust me and do not lean on your own understanding. Nothing is too difficult for me to handle. I know your struggles and I am here for you, even if you fall.

I direct and lead you with tender love. What you are experiencing, I have sifted through my loving hands. Trust in me, not in your circumstances, for I care for you. Listen to my voice and obey. Fear not, for I am with you, says Daddy God. Believe and trust that I am providing all that you need and I bless you abundantly. Let my love and peace rest inside of you.

Daddy God,

Today I press into you in hungry desperation, crying for your help and strength to overcome the trap of old sins, habits, ways of thinking and behaviors that constantly entangle and defeat me. I need your help to leave the past behind me and to press into my high calling through Christ Jesus. I submit myself to you, Lord and humble myself before you.

Open my eyes and give the joy of your vision to me. Wash and cleanse my heart and make my motives pure. Thank you for the cleansing blood of the Lamb of God that makes me clean and an overcomer. Your help makes it possible to continue my journey. You are my strength, rest, and refuge, when I am weak, weary and tired. Thank you for your presence, as you answer and deliver me. You captivate me with your love and mercy, giving me new hope and a fresh start today. I praise your name!

God created you with a unique destiny. As we follow Jesus the Messiah, we must follow his lead and timing. Time is short and you need to allow him to inspect you so that the things in your life that stop and impede your progress become eliminated. He wants to replace these fleshly things with his traits that will help you walk out your destiny. It is God’s goal to kill your flesh so that others will only see Jesus shining out of you. Submit and let God do the necessary work in your life. Godly character formed in you will allow you to handle destiny without  it causing you to self destruct. Thank God for character development in your life!

The Lord is calling us to become responsive and yielded (surrendered, submitted and relinquished) to him. He is our shepherd, who leads and guides us, as we walk through difficult experiences.  While we listen to his voice, rather than the enemy, we are able pass through peril and trials. Rather than focusing on the problems that we meet on the journey, lean and depend on the Shepherd. When we yield to his guidance and discipline, we become an overcomer of obstacles, character flaws, issues of the heart, ancestral and pet sins. Listen to his voice and yield to his instruction today. Willing, yielded and obedient, to the Lord,  reaps a great harvest of innumerable blessings.

Isaiah 1:19 (World English Bible)
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;

Focus on God and seek him first, in your life. He is telling you to trust him no matter how the circumstances surrounding you may seem. He has promised that he will keep and sustain you, as you follow him. You will experience nothing harmful. Trust him for a favorable outcome today.

Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 (New King James Version)
Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, “What are you doing?” He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment.

As we walk with Jesus, the Anointed One, we are part of the kingdom of God. Jesus is the King of Kings and we are kings under him.  We die to ourselves and he lives through us. As kings, we decree, after we listen and agree with what the King is saying. He gave us power and authority that we voice through our mouth.

It is a new day. Walk in kingdom authority because Jesus has overcome the enemy. His victory is our victory. Our seat is with him in heavenly places, with our enemies under our feet. Live in your kingly governmental authority, knowing who you are in Christ!

Revelation 5:10 (King James Version)
“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

God created us  in his image, with speech. God spoke and created the world, which was good. Likewise, we have the power to create life and death with our tongues. Our words are powerful and we either agree with God, as we speak, or with the enemy. Our speech reveals what dwells inside our hearts.

If we focus on the negative, we will curse ourselves and others. God, however, is calling us to focus on him. When we think on that which is good and praiseworthy, we will have speech that blesses many. If instead, fear and distrust consumes us, cursing will flow, demonstrated by our negative words and actions. We become connected to that on which, we meditate and think. Fear and anxiety robs us of God’s peace and loving care. Resting, yielding and relying on God, however, brings abundant provision and blessings, into our lives. These blessings will help and strengthen not only ourselves but also others.

Choose life or death with your mouth today!

Psalm 141:3
“Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.”

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Your destiny does not answer to man. Destiny only answers to the hand of God.

Have mercy on me, oh Lord!

Psalm 51:10
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.”
