Walking Beyond Your Circumstances

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 AMP

Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day. For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

Looking Beyond Circumstances

Jesus is my Lord, and I will not lose heart. Even though my outward man is perishing, yet my inward man is being renewed day by day. For this light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while I look at the things, which are not seen. Thank You for the eternal things that will never pass away in the name of Jesus. Amen

Transforming for your best Walk!

Affirmation of Transformation

Holy Spirit, You are our Liberator! Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit are with me! Amen.

Walking away from Temptation

Escape from Temptation

I thank You Father, that no temptation has overtaken me except such as is common to man. You are faithful, and will not allow me to be tempted beyond that I am able, but with the temptation You will also make the way of escape, that I may be able to bear (endure) it. I flee from idolatry and sexual immorality, and will not sin against my own body. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in me, whom I have received from God, and I am not my own. I was bought at a price; therefore I will glorify God in my body and in my spirit, which are God’s. Amen

Walking in the Light!

A Shining Light

Father, Your Word affirms that Jesus Christ is building me up into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to You. I belong to a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people; that I should show forth Your praises. You called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light. I pray that I may be blameless and harmless, a daughter/son of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom I shine as a light in the world. I desire to hold forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain. Amen.

Walk in Peace

Philippians 4:7 NKJV

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

♥'s One of God's desire is for each of us to be at peace. His peace surpasses all understanding not just some but ALL. I encourage that each of you renew your minds today by walking out Romans 12:1-2 NKJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which  is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Furthermore, my friends we must Go in Peace, make Peace & Live in peace as an surrendering of self and to live Like God has commanded.
I Samuel 20:42 NKJV

Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the Lord , saying, ‘May the Lord be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever.’ ” So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city

Live In Peace

Today, I bless those who persecute me. I bless and do not curse. I rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep...I associate with the humble…If it is possible, as much as depends on me, I purpose to live peaceable with all men. I will make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. I purpose to overcome evil with good in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

Walking in Submission to God!

James 4:7 NKJV

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Dealing with Disappointment

Many Christians are lying along the roadside of life devastated because they have not learned how to deal with disappointment, but it's not God's will for you to live a disappointed, devastated or oppressed life today, or any day.

Part of Jesus' earthly ministry was to go about in the anointing of the Holy Spirit and deliver all those who were oppressed by the devil. Disappointed people everywhere found new hope when they encountered the power of Jesus. This same power is available to us today.

Use that power to defend yourself against disappointment by focusing on God, meditating on His promises, confessing His Word, and submitting yourself and your situation to Him in prayer. Through Jesus, you can fight the enemy's attempts to weigh you down, rebuking him so that he can't destroy you.

When the devil makes one move toward you, keep yourself so spiritually tuned in that you can discern what he is trying to do and then back him down. With the power Jesus made available to you, he has no choice but to run.

Prayer Starter: God, setbacks and discouraging things will come my way, but I will not remain disappointed. As I stay tuned in to You, I will fight off the devil and send him running every time.

-Joyce Meyers

Encouragement for Your Walk

Encourage Your Soul

Isaiah 61:1-3 NKJV

“The Spirit of the Lord God  is upon Me, Because the Lord  has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those  who  are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord , And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord , that He may be glorified.”

My God!

Living Clean♡

A Living Sacrifice

Today, I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to You, my Father-God. I will not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I may prove Your good, acceptable and perfect will for me. With Jesus' help I will continually offer my sacrifice of praise to You by telling others of the glory of Your name. I’ll not forget to do good and to share what I have with those in need, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to You, my Father. Amen.

Goodbye Agag; You will Not Obstruct my Walk!

Hello and Good Evening ♥'s,
I do not about you but I have been blessed beyond measure. I have been feeling the shift in the atmosphere as GOD is doing a powerful transformation in me! Over the past year I have learned many of the necessary tools need to combat the enemy as well as deal with LIFE! I thank God for the leadership He has placed me under at Set the Captives Free Otreach Center & Joshua Journey- young adult ministry!
Today, Pastor Gary Wyatt brought the Word to the house.  He challenge the congregation to get rid of our Agag today! Which was so powerful as everyone has or had some influential being or thing in their life that they have put before the Etiquette of putting God first→ before all things. I'm super excited to put to death my Agag of being a people pleaser, always thinking about what someone thinks of me etc (1Sam 15:33). That Agag has obstructed & interfered with my experience in God long enough. I am striving to totally decrease daily so that God will be increased in me as I go after the land I possess. As for me & my house; I'm committed to walk, live & be well (Deut.5:33).

Amen

Walking in His Favor Daily

Wow!!! The hand of God's Favor over my life.... I am in awe. This morning I had a car accident it felt as if I hit the car in front of me hard from sliding in the rain (need new tires) I got out the car told the guy I would call the police of course I was shaken up, nerved up and more he ask if I was ok I said I will be okay. The guy said there is no damage so dont worry about it.... My God really.  He got in his car and drove away! Nothing but HIS grace saved me from injuries as well as damage considering the impact felt! Trust in the Lord Always!!!

Joint Heirs With Christ

Father, I thank You for loving me. I have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but I receive the Spirit of adoption by whom I cry out, “Abba Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with my spirit that I am a child of God, and if a child then an heir—heir of God and a joint heir with Christ, if indeed I suffer with Him, that I may also be glorified together with Him. Father, I love You because You first love me. Amen

Working on MY Walk with God!

Good Morning ♥'s

Last night I was blessed to be in the awesome presence of God where he spoke boldly and clearly through the voice/DNA of Dr. Marvin Sapp.
My loves remember every utterance we make known to the Father our God he knows & he hears as he has created each of us distinctively that our voices are defined by our DNA.

Nugget/Crumb: "Hollar until He hears you"... Luke 18:35-43→ The Blind man (visionless, favorless & co-dependent)  essentially heared the multitude in passing and ask what was going on. They then told him it was Jesus of Nazareth that passeth by→ the blind man Cried out to Jesus (not knowing his exact location but that he was in the crowd). He was rebuked by those he depended upon for crying out. However, ultimately from the cry of the blind man  Jesus heard him and had mercy on Him! So as I was encourage Holla till He hears you!

As men & women of God we must know who we are; know our vision, the hand of favor over ourlives, be independent not co dependent & speak to ourselves our vision until we see it come to pass. God said write the vision & make it plain; Habakkuk 2:2

Be encourage as the hand of favor rest upon you, seek God first in all that you do as he protects your going out & coming in! Hollar till He hears you... Know that God loves each of us and cares deeply for us so it is imperative that we serve Him in the mighty name of Jesus!

Reconciled to God

Do you know that God isn't holding anything against you? He no longer sees you guilty, but redeemed through the shed blood of Jesus. God reconciled you to Himself. When you received Jesus as your Savior, God gave you the ministry of reconciliation. He [personally present] in Christ, reconciled and restored the world to favor with Himself -- that includes you. He is not counting up and holding against you your trespasses [but cancelling them]. God has committed to you the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor). Being reconciled to God, you can now take the word of reconciliation to others.

PRAYER:

Father, I thank You for saving me from wrath through Christ. If when I was Your enemy, I was reconciled to You through the death of Your Son, much more, having been reconciled, I shall be saved by His life. I also rejoice in You through my Lord Jesus Christ, through whom I have now received reconciliation. I shall rejoice in You and be glad in the name of Jesus. Amen.

WALKING Spiritually Minded!

Good Day,

Life has its course it can be challenging, mind baffling & feel like a burden. However,  that is why we must make decisions as to what or more so who we will live for.... JESUS!!!! If you think your life is rough then I know a God of the impossible who will lead, guide and direct you through the good & bad. If you truly expect for him to be exceedingly above all in your life you must give up every implementation of the world and solely die to your self pick up the cross and follow him. You literally have to make the decisions wholeheartedly as there is no partial serving Him, ultimatums we imply toward HiM or making a choice when we feel day to day. Once you make a commitment stick too it its merely a covenant/ bond that you expect He do the same and He will!  Its time to part from this wicked world and receive Christ TOdaY! It time to have a spiritual mindset. Today if you have not received him I encourage you to do so. Join me tonight @Set the Set the Captives Free Outreach Center where Dr. Marvin Sapp The Official Marvin Sapp Page will usher us into the inner courts of praise with his voice & deliver the awesome Word of God!- I'm excited about my future are you?

Spiritually Minded

It is possible to renew the mind to the Word of God. You can replace carnal thoughts of worry, fear, self-pity, and other self-defeating thoughts with peace. You can keep your mind filled with self-doubt, self-rejection and become self-absorbed -- or you can become spiritually minded and change your self-image replacing negative thoughts with God's thoughts toward you. Choose to be God-inside-minded.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I bind my mind to the mind of Christ, my will to the will of God and my emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit. I choose to walk according to the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, setting my mind on the things of the Spirit. To be spiritually minded is life and peace. I count myself dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Walking in New Life

Arise to New Life

Many Christians who love the Lord have suffered trauma that left emotional wounds. Often this one event will hinder their spiritual development. You are not responsible for what happened to you, but you are responsible for your present day response. You have the Life of God in you and I encourage you to speak Resurrection to the death that trauma brought to your soul. You have passed from death to Life!

Prayer:

Father God, I arise to new life this day. I shake off the entanglements, hurts, bruises and sins of the past. It’s a new day! Thank You for doing a new thing in my life, Father. Forgetting the former things, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. I have the Life of God in me! Amen.

Walking in Unfailing Friendship

Friendship

Friendship should never be taken for granted. Jesus calls you His friend, and He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother. Throughout your life He sends different people to you. Some are friends for a season. God sends them to meet a special need, or for you to meet a special need for them, and then you move off in different directions. Others remain friends throughout life. God sends friends who share your disappointments, your hopes, your highs your lows. They see your faults and love you anyway. You learn to resolve conflict, trust one another. You become iron sharpening iron; helping each other grow in character, and in the love of God. God uses friendship to shape and mold us: If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).

PRAYER:

Father, I thank You for my friends. We are kind to one another, speaking words of grace into each other’s lives. We are there to laugh and cry together; we trust each other, encouraging one another in the Lord. We confess our faults to one another and pray for one another that we may be healed and restored to a spiritual tone of mind and heart. Thank You Jesus for teaching me how to be a good friend. Amen.

WALKING the Right Path!

The Right Path

For many years I walked darkened pathways that were rocky. Here and there was a glimmer of light, and there appeared roads that emanated radiant beams of light. Every time I tried to walk toward the light I would run into obstacles that turned into deadends. How could I find the path of life? On a glorious memorable day the Light broke through and the Pathway of Life lay before me. I could see and I could hear the Voice of my Father: This is the way. Walk ye in it! I read the Bible day and night. His word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105). Read His Word, heed His Word; it is life to all who find it, and health to all your flesh!

Prayer:

Father, show me the path You want me to take and point out the right road on which I should walk. Today I deny myself and take up my cross and follow You wherever You may lead. Lead me beside the quiet waters; restore my soul. You are guiding me in paths of righteousness for Your nam e’s sake. You are my God and I will praise You in the name of Jesus. Amen.

WORKING on my wAlk! Abundant Life...

Abundant Life

Do you know the character of God? Do you know that He is a good God, and that good and perfect things come from Him? I have heard people blame Him for everything good, bad and indifferent. He sent Jesus to give you Life--Life more Abundant till it overflows. God isn't in the business of killing, stealing and destroying, He is in the business of blessing His children with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus!

Prayer:

Father God, thank You for sending Your son Jesus Christ that I might have life and have it to the full till it overflows. I receive Your abundant life this day, accepting it in overflowing proportions. Freely I have received; freely I give, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

He is "The Vine"

Communion

When you take the bread and the cup of Jesus Christ you are signifying your union with Him. Do you know this Jesus or do you just know about Him? After He ascended to heaven He sent the Holy Spirit to bring you into an intimate relationship with the Father-God. Jesus is the way to the Father, and the Holy Spirit is your Teacher and Guide. For the believer prayer and Bible reading can be and should be times of exchanging information. You have the privilege of becoming intimately acquainted with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit--the Three in One. Acknowledge the Holy Spirit, take time to communicate with Him. He will take the Word of God and teach you all things that pertain unto life and godliness. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Cor 13:14).

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, I am looking and listening, and I am in the spirit. You have knocked and I have opened the door. C ome into my heart and let us eat of the living bread and drink from the fountain that never runs dry. Today, I rejoice in You and I am exceedingly glad. Glory and honor belong to You, my Redeemer, my Elder Brother, my Lord. It is no longer I that lives, but Christ who lives in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God. My beloved is mine and I am His. Amen.

Oh What a Name!

Goodmorning ♥'s,

Today, I am reflecting on the mighty name of JESUS!  Hallelujah- There is power in the name of Jesus.
JESUS means: Savior, God Saves & Immanuel "God with Us" as you can see Jesus is a name that describes & declares POWER. 《SHOUTS》
So I encourage you to reflect on His name today and share how it made you feel or the power His name carries as you speak His name in faith.

God Bless-

The Tremendous Power in the Name of Jesus

Many people, including Christians, don't have a clue about the tremendous power in the name of Jesus.

Have you ever thought about the importance of a name? A person's name represents and personifies his character, setting him apart from everyone else. When we call someone by name, we are declaring something about that person.

In the same way, when we say the name of Jesus, we are not just speaking a name. We are declaring a name that embodies power, not human power, but all the power and authority of God (see Colossians 2:9-10 AMP).

When we speak that name, we are describing the Person. Jesus means "Savior," and we are calling Him according to what He does for us, He saves us from sin, from our failures and from circumstances that are not in His will (see Matthew 1:21).

Many people want to experience spiritual power but they don't understand that in order to release it, they must speak the name of Jesus in faith. That wonderful name has been given to those who believe. As a child of God, speak His name in faith today.

Prayer Starter: Father God, over every circumstance in my life, I declare the name of Jesus in faith. Thank You for the saving power of Your Son.

I will not keep silent, but bring the Good News of relief and deliverance to others who do not know You. I was born for such a time as this to fulfill my destiny in the Kingdom of God . I take my place a member of the Body of Christ. Thank You for loving me, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
