Don’t get lost in the process of change. Sometimes results are immediate, sometimes gradual, but both are a part, of the process of change. Ultimately, during the process, the Father desires us to keep crying out for Him. Our dependency should be of Him and not ourselves. We must cry out to our Father who loves and yearns for us to be with Him.
Even when we don’t understand what God is doing, we still owe Him our hearts in worship.
How many times have you gotten discouraged, due to the battle swirling around you? Looking at things in the natural realm, it is easy to get intimidated. However, behind the physical manifestation, there is a spiritual battle. The enemy of our souls wants us to become depressed, discouraged, and to give up. God wants you to know that it is his battle and he gives the victory.
David was a teenager who came to the battle to give his older brothers provisions, and to bring a report back to his father. He found the Israelite army running in fear from a giant named Goliath, who taunted them. The Israelites had run in fear, forty days. David immediately, saw it as a spiritual battle, where the giant and the Philistines were defying the armies of the living God. David had killed lions and bears, who were attacking his father’s flocks of sheep and goats and he knew God would also fight for him, against the giant.
David defeated the giant, with the help of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies and with a stone and a shepherd’s slingshot. He knew it was the Lord’s battle and he walked in faith and confidence, in the Lord. Although the giant cursed and boasted, David killed him with a stone and the whole enemy army fled in defeat.
No matter how strong the enemy coming against you might seem, God defeats the enemy. Take heart and know the battle is not yours but the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!
David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. Thisis the Lord’s battle, and he will give you to us!” (1 Samuel 17:45-47 NLT)
Can you do yourself a few favors today? Resign from trying to do things that only God is supposed to. Free yourself from the responsibility of making sure that everything and everyone is perfect; place the responsibility back on God.
Ask God to help you today, instead of trying to do things on your own. Quit holding yourself to standards that God isn’t even requiring of you (loose yourself). Retire from focusing on the problems and focus on the (God’s) promises. If you do these favors FOR YOU, life will be more favorable TO YOU.
Saturate yourself in prayer to Father God, throughout the day. Let thankfulness and faith fill your requests. As a result, you will have wonderful peace and be able to handle the day’s stress. The answers will come through Jesus. Prayer and praise will keep your focus on God and his wonderful care and love for you.
Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. (Philippians 4:6-8 TPT)
Our words have great power. God created us in his image. When he spoke, he created and framed the universe. In the same way, we speak, framing and creating our world, with our tongue. Negativity in our speech invites more of the same. We can change our frame by agreeing with God.
Find a Bible verse to give a promise to the area of darkness in your life. Ask Holy Spirit to bring life to it as you read, decree and think on Scriptures. Speak the Word of God with faith, it will frame your life with abundant life, changing your perspective.
God framed the world by speaking through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3 KJV)
Don’t let anyone or anything cause you, to shut up your bowels, of mercy. They’re not worth it, forgive, release, and have mercy on them. You’ll need it later.
What you measure to others, the same will be measured to you…
I love you, I love you, I love you. My love for you is not dependent on you doing everything right. I take great delight in you, my dear child. I see you with eyes filled with love without measure. Open your heart to my love and receive it on a deeper level. My love flows over you, without strings or conditions, for you are my child.
My love causes your stony heart to become soft and pliable. My love forgives and delivers. My love makes it easier to receive and distribute my love to those who despise you. Let my love color your perceptions and your heart. See others with my eyes of love.
Pure Glory
