And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28:2, AMP Today, despite whatever you are facing in life, take time to hear Jesus. If you are concerned about symptoms in your body, keep hearing and hearing about how our Lord Jesus loved to heal and still heals today. Hear how He bore the cruel Roman lashes for you, so that by His stripes, you are healed (see Isa. 53:5). Hear how He went about doing good and healing ALL who were oppressed (bodily, emotionally, and mentally) by the devil (see Acts 10:38, Matt. 9:35).
Assumption is the lowest form of knowledge. This is because when we assume, we view situations, make decisions and lead others from a basis of what may not be entirely true. My assumptions become my bias and are the foundation of my decisions, knowledge, thoughts and feelings. By my own determination, this positions me to be the standard through which everything is arbitrated. There is also a leadership pitfall that can emerge from an assumption; that is that others should know what we know while disregarding the understanding of our subordinates.
Everyone has a race to run. That just means we all have a life to live. The apostle Paul says in Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) "Therefore ... let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Part of what that means is to keep going even in the midst of the difficulties in life. Hard times happen to us all, but it's how we handle them that matters most. And when the time comes, I want to be able to say, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Tim. 4:7).
Do you have promises from God that you are believing for that have not yet come to pass? As daughters and sons of the Most-High King, we stand in faith on what the Word of God says and the individual promises He has spoken over each one of our lives. Standing in faith isn't always easy, so I want to encourage you today from a specific passage in Scripture. In the Book of Joshua, right after Caleb and Joshua explored the land that God had promised them, they quickly started to face backlash from the Israelites.
Our God is a covenant-keeping God! He keeps His promises from generation to generation. He wants you to be faithful to Him and keep your covenants or contracts too. On Monday, May 30th, at sundown starts the very special Hebrew month of Sivan. This is the month when the Lord came upon Mount Sinai and gave the Ten Commandments. It's an important time to understand that the Word of God is representative of who God is and His heart for us, His treasured people. On Mount Sinai, the Lord shared His flawless character of who He is. He is a God of justice, righteousness and love. He longs for you to follow after the covenant commandments He gave way back then.
For most of my life, I have struggled with identifying my purpose in God's kingdom. As such I have been a doer and an achiever, always trying to get things done for God because I wanted Him to value me. This is the same issue that Martha had with Mary. If you remember the story, Jesus basically told Martha that she needed to take a lesson from Mary and chill out. Well, that's my interpretation. I knew that but I still had this drive to achieve and be identified by what I did. I was a writer, then an editor, and finally a publisher. I thought I had arrived, but then everything went south with the newspaper industry, and who was I?
So don't be impatient for Yahweh to act; keep moving forward steadily in his ways, and he will exalt you to possess the land. You'll watch with your own eyes and see the wicked lose everything. Psalm 37:34 TPT The Lord knows you better than you know yourself. He sees your past, present and future all at once and has grace and unconditional love for you. He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you." (Matthew 13:11 NIV) We are entering a new season of breakthrough. Have you felt like you are going to break down instead? Just keep moving forward! I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world. Matthew 13:35 NIV
"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers."(Mal. 4:6, KJV) Recently, the Lord has been working overtime in many family relationships, especially between the parents and the children. Speaking as a father, looking back, I can become overwhelmed by how I was honestly blinded by my weaknesses, or how I felt powerless to change my children while I was raising them. When you hear about how God is going to grow us up in His body, you can count on God showing up in the core of the church - the family we live with every day. We can go no further in God than our personal "home address."
You just received a prophetic word and believe it is from the Lord. Your concern is, "What do I do next?" My concern is what you didn't do next. The next step is not taking action on the prophetic word you received but testing it. Ask yourself questions such as "Will this bear fruit and glorify the name of Jesus Christ, or will it distract and detour me from my godly assignment?" With prophecy, your first responsibility is to discern the accuracy of the prophetic word delivered. When receiving a prophetic word that you believe is from the Lord, you should stop and verify that it is from the Lord and not your flesh desiring it or the enemy trying to distract you.
God is calling you to be a mighty warrior. The world we live in is not for the faint of heart. We must stand in our position as sons and daughters of Christ, finding our strength in Him, to have an impact. It can seem easier to sit back and say "I am trusting God" from our armchairs than to take up our weapons and fight for the kingdom of heaven. As I was sitting with the Lord, He began to speak about this issue. The Lord says, "You do not have to stand like a child, covering your ears as the enemy hurls insults at you. Uncover your ears and listen, listen for Abba's voice.
