Arise

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1Peter 5:8

The word of the Lord to you today is ARISE! Arise in your spirit and don't allow the enemy to devour what you have been building by faith.

When you don’t make the decision to stand in the authority that was given to you through Jesus Christ, the enemy will slip in undetected. That's why the scripture urges us to be sober-minded and watchful. What does that mean? That means that we must be stable, temperate and exercise self control. When our mind is focused and remain in Christ, we are able to think and see with great clarity. However, when our focus shifts we become distracted and less on our guard.

When we fail to recognize the breach, it's impact is far detrimental than we imagined. We might not see it right away, but we will begin to see the manifestations of the breach showing up in our life. That's why we cannot afford to give the enemy any room to move freely in the realm of our soul. He will devour everything (peace, joy, strength, health confidence) if we are not sober-minded and watchful.

The Spirit of the Lord is urging you today to take your rightful place and ARISE in him.

It’s time to give the Father of lies an eviction notice! Everything the adversary is trying to devour in your life will be restored in the name of Jesus when you claim what belongs to you! You must take a stand in his Word, trusting and believing that God has already prepared a way of escape for you. Let the word of God govern your thoughts, will and emotions!

Remember, YOU ARE victorious and an overcomer by the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony. Your testimony is powerful and a constant reminder that if God did it before, surely he will do it again.

The Spring and The Light

"Within you is the spring of life. In your light we see light." Psalm 36:7 CEB

God is our source for everything. Without him we would be lost, confused and without hope. As a believer, we have access to the spring of life. He is continually pouring into us what we so desperately need. God is the only one that can truly satisfy our soul and quench our thirst to be filled with his transformational light.

I can imagine that every time worship goes up, praise goes up, prayers like a sweet-smelling aroma goes up, God is pouring out of his life-giving spring supplying our needs. He begins to pour out his Spirit of love, grace, mercy, peace, joy, strength, knowledge, wisdom, healing and deliverance into our lives. When we think of God's outpouring or blessings, we must remember not to limit it to material things. God's desire is to bless us with the intangible things that never lose its value. It’s time to put away the things we value that doesn’t bring enrichment into our lives or can save us from sinful desires.

He is the only one that can make us whole from the inside out. The finest things in life can never fill the void of the emptiness we feel; only God can. When our outward appearance does not match what's on the inside, we are creating a façade that will eventually faulter. Our heavenly Father knows that we can never find wholeness on our own. His love sent his son, Jesus to the cross so that we can lay claim to new life in him. His all-powerful redeeming blood bridged the gap that through him we may obtain the intangible blessings of God. In Christ we have gained a life worth living.

We are able to walk in his light that illuminates every area of our heart and dispels and repels the sin that shows up in our lives. When we stand in the light of God, he begins to show us the various things we need to address and create in us a contrite heart. The Spirit of God comes to bring illumination and revelation into our souls so we can align our lives to his word and remain in his light.

Today, ask God to pour into you today and shed his light into your hearts and minds so that you can live conscientiously for him.

Stick with IT!

"But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:6

Do not waver in what you are asking for God. If it lines up with his word and his will then don't relent. Doubts may come because what you are waiting for has not yet manifested. However, it's your faith that will keep you connected to the very thing you are waiting on.

The enemy is always working overtime, actually triple time to see you let go and give up on your prayers. One of the main tactics in achieving this is introducing doubt to your mind. The scripture tells us that doubt has the ability to make us unstable and easily influenced. If you can be swayed, then you can be talked out of the very thing you are desiring from the Lord.

The enemy will present to your mind with all the different scenarios that could go wrong or suggest things that are contrary to God's plans for your life. In Genesis, he is characterized as cunning, always bring an argument with half truths. Nevertheless, we have the precious Holy Spirit that will guide us into ALL truth.

The truth of the matter is...if God wants you to have it, the devil is going to try and grab it.

If you are believing God, leave it right there, the throne of grace. Believe him and don't doubt. If doubt comes, give it the boot and openly declare I WILL TRUST THE LORD.

When we refuse what the enemy is offering, our trust in God is strengthen and becomes a pillar of steadfastness against the enemy. You will become firm and unmoved; knowing that your faith is keeping you anchored in God.
