Taking Authority! It's God's Command

'This is My command: be strong and courageous. Never be afraid or discouraged because I am your God, the Eternal One, and I will remain with you wherever you go.' Joshua 1:9 (VOICE)


 After Moses's death, God spoke directly to Joshua, that he was to lead his people, enter the promised land, divide it up and occupy it. He gave Joshua the exact same commission that He had given Moses. ' I have given You every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.' With full faith and confidence that God would be with him and that He would never fail him or abandon him, Joshua, on authority of God, obeyed. 
Dear Father.
 We see your mighty hand at work everywhere. We believe that You are the same today and always. We believe You when you speak to the one and that You are no respecter of persons. You called us out of be leaders, to understand and to live by Your Law. You command strength and courage in us. When we are weak, You are strong. When we are afraid, You are courageous. We believe that what You say will come to pass, so there is really nothing on earth for us to be afraid of except You. Our own physical and mental weaknesses should not discourage us because You are our God. So we obey. 
You are eternal. You are El Shaddai. When we are in Your Will, You call us out and equip us with everything that we need. You remain faithful to Your calling until the end. Your love for us remains the same no matter what and You will never leave. We are encouraged by Your promises that are true and Your presence which is eternal. God we love You for who You are and what You do. Justice reigns. 
 
We pray for the just to win in this election. We pray for life. We love our country. 
 
In Jesus's mighty name. 
 
Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
