Life-Giving Water

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters...”
(Proverbs 18:4, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD  
All over the world, there are people who are lonely, they’re hurting, they’ve been through disappointments; they’ve suffered heartache and pain. As believers, God has given us something to offer them. We have life-giving, refreshing water in us. With our words, we can bring healing. With our words, we can lift them out of depression. With our words, we can tell them, “You’re beautiful. You’re amazing. You’re talented. God has a bright future in front of you.”

Those life-giving words will break the chains of depression. They will break the chains of low self-esteem. You can help set people free from the strongholds that are keeping them back. You may not know all that is happening, but God can take one compliment, one encouraging word, and use that to begin the healing process and set that person on a brand new course. And when you help break the chains off of others, any chains that you might have will be broken off, too!

Today, choose to speak encouragement. Choose to speak life. Tell others what they can become, give compliments, and live life as a healer. Pour out that life-giving water with your words and watch it come back to you in abundance!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for allowing Your healing waters to flow through me by your precious Son, Jesus. I choose to pour out life onto others and refresh them with life-giving words. Direct my words, order my steps, and let everything I do glorify You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

I Am Taking Charge of Everything

I'M TAKING CHARGE OF EVERYTHING,

A WORD FROM THE LORD TO BUILD UP, ENCOURAGE AND COMFORT  

I'm taking charge of everything. I am not leaving any room for doubt concerning what I am doing in your life, or where you are headed. You can trust Me to bring you to the place that I have for you, and it will be My Way and not your own.I have left nothing untouched, and have not forgotten anything in the process. Nothing is as you see it, and it is never going to be. You must see with My eyes, and begin to give Me every part of yourself even more so, so that I can completely complete the process. I am in complete control, and will bring forth everything as it should be, when it should be.

Take your hands off of the reins and let Me bring you fully to your place. Let not your heart be troubled, or concerned for the journey before you, but know that I have ordered every step and experience you will have along the way. What you need, and what you will encounter, will be worked thoroughly within you, if you will trust Me in it. Remember, that I always have a perfect timing.

The arrangements have been made ahead of time by Me, and all that is left is for you to do is to walk it out. Nothing is absolute, as you can choose to say no to Me at any time, I will always give you that choice, but I desire for you to arrive fully in your place and in your assignment on schedule.

Remove everything that causes you to stumble, and cast off everything that weighs you down. Give no place to fear or worry, but give those things to Me. Become as a child, with your hand in Mine, and move on.

I will never leave you, and will show you My Ways as you do. I have many ways and things to yet reveal to you, and so much more to tell you. But you must keep moving forth, and not stop in the midst of the troubles. Do not give in to discouragement. But yield to My encouragement and embrace Me fully.

Stop for nothing, and fear not men's opinions of your course, but heed My Voice, and move forth as I tell you to. It is not in men that you will fulfill your destiny, but it is in Me. I know the plans that I have for you, and they are to give you a future and a hope, and to bring forth My Image through your life.

What I have made you to be and have given you to do is what will be seen, as you walk it out with Me. Your life is not to be going a show that men will run or a performance they will control, but it will be a demonstration of My Glory through you. Men will not drive you, but I will lead you

Let no man steal your confidence, and your inheritance in Me. Lay hold of Me and walk with Me, further on than you have been before, and you will see all that I have ordained for you, and that I am completely faithful to you. I know what I am doing.

Have a blessed day,

A day without the presence of God is a wasteful day

Put All Behind You

A WORD FROM THE LORD TO BUILD UP, ENCOURAGE AND COMFORT

Do not fret or worry, for I am leading you in the way that I desire for you to go. Give up on the ways you have traveled in the past, and allow Me to show you My ways.Nothing that you can imagine can match the fullness of My Spirit, that I am leading you into. Nothing can match My grace, love, and power that I am about to pour upon you. Nothing can match basking in the love I am about to bestow upon you.

So rejoice........you are about to put behind all that has hindered you so greatly. Rejoice for I am drawing ever nearer unto you, and soon you will radiate My glory and presence.

I am your ever present help in time of trouble. Put all behind you for I am with you.

Psalm 46:1-3: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah

I pray your day is blessed,

Always thank God for what you have, and trust God for what you need.

Rebellion Makes Life Difficult

Rebellion Makes Life Difficult
by Rick Warren

“All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God’s path to follow our own paths.” Isaiah 53:6 (NLT)

“ We all rebel against God and choose to do our own thing. "No one can say 'I am innocent. I've never done anything wrong'  (Proverbs 20:9 NCV). ”

Rebellion. When people ask why life is so difficult, the answer can be summed up in that one word. Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden broke everything.

Why did they do it? God gave them a paradise to live in that offered everything they needed. And yet Adam and Eve thought they knew better than God. They decided they wanted to make their own choices. So they chose to do the one thing God told them not to do.

The book of Romans records the result of that one act of rebellion: “Sin came into the world because of what one man did, and with sin came death” (Romans 5:12 NCV).

We are no different from Adam and Eve. We all rebel against God and choose to do our own thing. “No one can say ‘I am innocent. I’ve never done anything wrong’” (Proverbs 20:9 NCV).

Our rebellion against God falls into one of three categories.

  1. Sin. The word “sin” is an archery term that means missing the mark or falling short. “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 NIV). We sin when we fall short and don’t measure up to God’s standard. Sin is unintentional rebellion.
  2. Transgression. Transgression is the opposite of falling short. It means to go beyond the mark or boundary of something, or to be deliberately disobedient. We commit a transgression when we choose to break God’s law. Transgression is intentional rebellion.
  3. Iniquity. Iniquity is intentional disobedience intended to harm. It is caused by anger, resentment, envy, hatred, pride, or bitterness that creates a need for revenge or a need to intentionally hurt someone. Iniquity is malicious rebellion.
David used all three terms in Psalm 32 when he made this confession to God: “I acknowledged my sin to you, and did not cover up my iniquity. I confessed my transgressions and you forgave my guilt” (Psalm 32:5 NIV).

Like David, we have broken God’s laws in all three of these ways, which makes life so hard. But find hope in this: No matter which one it is, whether you don’t measure up, or you intentionally go beyond the law, or you intend to hurt someone, God will still forgive you if you confess it to him. And that’s good news!

Can you perceive it?

Can You Perceive it?

God wants to do something new and supernatural in your life. Did you know He wants to do something supernatural in your finances?

Isaiah 43:19 says, "Behold, I am doing a new thing! …Do you not perceive it and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (AMP)

Can you perceive it? Are you making room for it in your mind, or have you already made up your mind not to expect anything new due to your present circumstances? God is interested in all your needs, desires, and even, your prosperity. In fact, Psalm 35:27 says that God delights in the prosperity of His people.

Right now, we are in somewhat of a recession and economic slump, but because we belong to God, we have supernatural provision. God is never in a financial slump. Heaven is not in a recession. In fact, heaven is full of blessings waiting to be bestowed upon you. God said that He will make a way in your desert. He will cause rivers of blessings to flow into your financial desert. That is supernatural provision.
I encourage you to get a vision of that in your spirit and expect God to move like that in your finances. Begin to see blessings flowing into your life like a river that cannot be stopped! God said that He will open the windows of heaven and pour such blessing that you will not be able to contain it!

You may not see how in the natural, but God has countless of ways to supernaturally provide for you! He gave the Apostle Peter money for his taxes through a fish! God multiplied a widow's oil so much that she was able to live on the profit for the rest of her life. That's supernatural retirement!

God wants to do the same for you! He wants to supernaturally provide for you. The question is can you perceive it? It's not just my question; it's God's question, too!

"Can you not perceive it?" He asks us.

Part of perceiving is knowledge of what God says about you and your situation. You may have heard the saying, "What you don't know won't hurt you?" The truth is, what you don't know will hurt you! Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for of lack of knowledge."

With the present economic times, you need to know everything God says to you about His plan to prosper you. It is imperative that we know what God says; then we believe it and take hold of it!

So it's time to start perceiving and letting His promises take root in your spirit because this is what God says about you!

Phil 4:19
"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

Psalm 37:4
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Psalm 35:27
"May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, 'The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of His servant.'"

Proverbs 13:22
"A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous."

Remember, God delights in your prosperity! He wants to do something supernatural and new in your finances, even now! But it's up to each one of us to perceive it and know it. You do that with your faith! No one else can do that for you. Receive God's Word into your spirit by agreeing with God, and then you can expect God to move in your finances!

I encourage you to pray this with me, "God, I receive Your Word, and I agree with You. I expect supernatural blessings and favor for my family. I expect it, I look for it, I declare it in faith, and I receive it in faith, in Jesus Name, Amen."

Receiving the Overflow

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE


“...we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance”  (Psalm 66:12, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD
 

Friend, no matter what your circumstances may look like today, God’s plan is to bring you through to a place of abundance. He wants you to have an abundance of peace, an abundance of joy, an abundance of resources — He wants you to overflow with His blessings so that you can be a blessing to the people around you.

One thing I’ve learned is that if you want to live in the overflow of God’s blessings, you have to have an attitude to receive the overflow. Remember, as a believer in Jesus, you are a child of the Most High God. Royal blood is flowing through your veins. You were not created to be average. You were not created to barely get by and drag through life. You have seeds of greatness on the inside. You are well able to do whatever God has called you to do!

Today, I encourage you to put your shoulders back, hold your head up high and start thinking like a victor. And when you’re a victor, you know that any adversity in your life is not permanent, it’s temporary. Have the attitude to receive the overflow of God’s abundance. Keep believing and keep expecting because it’s just a matter of time until He turns things around in your favor!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I open my mind and heart to You. I choose to believe that You have a good plan for me. By faith today, I receive the blessings You have for me so that I can be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Supernatural Provision - The Principle of Giving

Supernatural Provision - The Principle of Giving

Scripture says, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38)

God wants to bless you and prosper you in your finances and in all areas of your life, but there is a spiritual principle that we must follow in obeying and giving that unleashes God's supernatural provision!

In Malachi 3:10, God says, "Bring the whole tithe to the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. 'Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.'"

Tithing is the key to financial blessings. Oftentimes, we want to receive the latter part, the overflowing part! And God wants us to! But we have to be faithful and obedient with the first part, giving.

When we are obedient, we are backing up our faith with actions. After all, faith without works is dead, and it's our faith that pleases God.

When financial slumps come, that is not a time to quit tithing and giving. In fact, we have learned in our family that is a time to put more seed in the ground.

If you don't give the first 10% of your income to the Lord, the Bible says that you are robbing God and yourself because if you have no seed, you have no harvest. But when you sow your tithe to the Lord, you can expect a harvest in your finances.

If you have stopped tithing for any reason, then I encourage you to repent and obey God. God wants to bless us, but we must be obedient to Him.

God's Word is filled with scriptures on giving financially. I encourage you to study them for yourself!

Deuteronomy 14:22-23
"Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always."

Proverbs 3:9–10
"Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."

Malachi 3:10
"Bring the whole tithe to the storehouses, that there may be food in my house. 'Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.'"

Matthew 23:23
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."

2 Corinthians 8:14
"At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality."

2 Corinthians 9:6–8
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Hebrews 7:2
"Abraham gave him a tenth of everything…"
