Thank you Father for walking with me daily. Father I ask that you create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me(psalm 51:10-11). Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)KJV

Divide & Concur
Lets talk about it; do you feel like your being tested? Does
it seem like every time you take a step in the right direction, something seems
to be pulling you back? You know you've heard a word from God, but things don't
seem to be lining up with the word you heard?
Brothers and sisters I’d say you’re on a Red Sea journey. I
call the Red Sea journeys, the events that happen in our lives that have a way
of making us feel like we're on the wrong path. I've coined the Red sea in our
lives as the trials, or testing that are a vital parts of our journey. They
come in the form of financial difficulties, health problems, troubled
relationships, and even spiritual uncertainty.
I know you know the story of the Israelites in the book of
Exodus, and how they had the Red Sea before them, and Pharaoh’s army behind
them. After all God had done for them, being their pillar of light by day and
fire by night, they still doubted him. They went out with boldness, but as soon
as the enemy appeared they lost hope. They allowed fear to overtake them and
began to argue with Moses saying,
“because there were no graves in Egypt you
have taken us away to die in the wilderness?”
(Exodus 14:11)
Do we do the same thing when
things don’t look like there going in our favor? Or when God has not made us
privy to the details of in His plan? As we read the story we could ask where their
faith was, and why weren’t they trusting in God; we could also ask ourselves
the same question.
The Israelites had the Red Sea before them and pharaoh's
army behind them. It looked like they were trapped; it looked like they should
give up- but God. What are the things in your life that have you wondering if
you should give up? What is your Red Sea? These annoyances enter our lives to
distract us from keeping our eyes on God.
God instructed Moses
to lift his rod and stretch it out over the sea. When Moses did as he was told
the waters divided and the Israelites walked through. So again I ask you, what
is your red sea?
Whatever it may be,
take it to the father in prayer, and cover it with unwavering faith in Him.
Believe that just as he parted the waters for the Israelites, He will part the
waters in your life. The God we serve hears, answers, and always has a plan of
approach. Although the Israelites doubted God, he saved them. If he saved them
in their disbelief, what do you think he will do for those who believe?
Prayer:
Lord we know you know the things in our lives that are
troubling for us. You know what we need to separate from and what we need to
leave in our past. Father we thank you because we know the same love, power, compassion
and strength you had for the Israelites ages ago, you have for us today. You
are still the one guiding your children from day to day. You are the all
knowing, all seeing God who is with us. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for
the opportunity to make our request known to you. Lord we ask you to slay the
enemy on our behalf and remove any doubt, fear or anything that does not line
up with you, and what you want us to do for you. Father we cast all cares at
your feet knowing you are well able to handle them. In the name of Jesus I
pray. Amen.

Speaking Life In the Face Of Negativity
What are you saying to yourself? Or should I say
what negative words or actions have you allowed settle in your spirit and
dictate your life. Do you realize the negative things we’ve allowed others to
speak over us, even from childhood, can play a key role in how we see
ourselves; and for many how they believe God see’s them.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue (prov
18:21)
For years the negative things adults said
to me unconsciously settled in my spirit. I later realized their words were key contributors to my feelings of self- doubt. It wasn’t until I came to know Christ that I learned who I was because of
Him. I carried resentment towards those who’d put me
down, and for a greater part of my life, they had succeeded in making me feel inadequate. When began to understand the magnitude of God's love for me, I asked God to help me forgive them; I understood it was not them per
say, but the spirit of darkness working through them to try and trick me into forfeiting
my future.
God took the time to create each and every one of
us. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We who belong to Christ were bought
with at a price that exceeds worldly value. The cost was His precious blood;
His precious blood paid it all, and because He paid for us, and cleaned us up,
He has chosen our bodies as his temple and dwelling place; and God is not going
to dwell in junk. So what ever negativity was spoken over you in the past or
you have allowed to seep into your present tell the enemy he’s lost. If he
thought he was going to get you to abort your purpose, he thought wrong. You
see he knows God’s plan is to give us a future, and hope according to Jeremiah
29:11, so I don’t know about you but I want to line my life up with God’s plan.
Jeremiah 33:3 is a promise from God which says,
"Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty
things…" If we are yearning is for God to do great and mighty things in
not only our life but our family, we have to call on Him, and call on Him in
faith. Our father is always attentive to our voice and ready to respond. First
John 5:14-15 says to have confidence, knowing that when you pray according to
the will of God, which is the Word of God, He hears you. And when He hears you,
He will grant your requests.
God has given us promises that speak to His love for us.When the enemy tries to whisper negative things in your ear, tell him
he’s under your feet, and has no authority or power of your life. Below are some of the promises you can speak to yourself.
