Do You Believe That God Is Turning Your Situation Around and Working It Out For Your Good and His Glory? Praying That The Enemy Will No Longer Infiltrate Your Thoughts and Overtake Your Emotions.

Where is your faith?   Are you walking in faith or are you walking in fear and doubt?   Do you believe God is turning around what has been going wrong in your life and making everything alright or are you walking in fear and doubt where your faith is actually in what you believe the enemy can do to you?    Either your faith is in God or your faith is in what the enemy is trying to accomplish in your life.    I pray today that your faith is in God and I pray that you are binding up and casting down the spirit of fear that is trying to rule, reign, and rest in your life. 

 

It is my prayer today that you believe God.   I pray that you believe Him in a way that invokes His blessings to manifest and overtake you in life.   I pray the spirit of fear that has been sent and set in place by the devil will no longer have access to your heart and your mind.  I pray that it will no longer infiltrate your thoughts and overtake your emotions.   I pray that you pray and stay in faith in Jesus' name, amen.   

 

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

 

Are You Allowing The Situation You Are Finding Yourself In To Rule and Reign Over Your Thoughts and Your Emotions?

Sometimes life can be hard and the situations we find ourselves in make life even harder.   How are you handling those times?   Are you being moved by your emotions?   Are you shifting from a place of faith into a place of fear?  Are you letting what you are going through lead you instead of standing firm and fast on what you said you believe before the situation arose? 

 

Understand, something or someone is always going to challenge your faith.   The enemy is always going to come after whatever you have that is of God and in God and his attack will always be an effort to get you to not believe.   The question is, are you going to yield in a way that allows the enemy to infiltrate your mind, your heart, and your emotions or are you going to trust God no matter what? 

 

Remember, today to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.   Remember, that there is safety in and with God.   Remember, God can do all things.   Remember, He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.

Ephesians 6:9-11

King James Version

⁹ And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

Are You Trying To Figure Out and Work Everything Out In Your Life In Your Own Strength, Power, and Ability?

With God, all things are possible.   Are you trusting God with everything in your life or are you trying to figure everything out in your life in your own strength, power, and might?    Life can be hard.   It can be hard to figure out everything in your life.   Trials will come.   Situations will arise.   Opportunities will show up where you will have to be determined to keep your faith, hope, and trust in God.   You have to always remember that it is only with God that we live, we breathe, and we have our being and it is only God that can get us through whatever it is we are going through in life. 

 

God has a plan and His plan covers not only our past and our present, it also covers our future.   When we don't know what to do, God does.   When we don't know which way to go, God is ready and willing to direct our path.   When we need help, God is a ever present help in our times of need. 

 

We can't let what is going on in our lives or coming against our lives to cause us to doubt what God will do for us in life.   We have to trust God with it all.

Psalm 32:8

King James Version

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 

Are You Losing Hope and Failing To Walk In Faith When You Come Up Against Challenges In Your Life?

God is not done with you yet.    There is Word that has been spoken over your life that must come to pass.   Are you trusting God to do what He said He would do?    Are you taking Him at His Word and is His Word proving to be true and real to you?

 

When you go through trials in life it is easy to lose hope and fail to walk in faith.    That is because a trial challenges your faith and it sometimes leads you to believe that God's Word is not working.    We have to understand that a challenge doesn't automatically mean a loss.   It is the challenges that we overcome in life that make us champions.   It is important to have faith when you are challenged in life.   Your faith stands up against the challenges that are coming up against you in life and it says that God wins no matter what. 

 

So no matter what comes up against you in life, don't lose hope and continue to walk in faith.   Always remember, God has a plan and He is working everything together for your good and His glory.

Exodus 14:13-14

King James Version

13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

 

Is Your Celebration Today Still Centered Around Seeking and Celebrating God's Presence or About Getting Presents?

 Today as you celebrate with your family, remember the center of your celebration today and every other day is Christ.   He was born so that we could live.   He was given so that we could have eternal life.   As you think about the reason God gave us His Son, think about the fact that Jesus was born, He bled, and He died just for us. 

 

Remember, no greater gift has ever been given and there is no greater gift that anyone can give.   Jesus is our gift from God. 

He is our Lord and He is our Savior. 

He is all that we need and all that we will ever need to have eternal life. 

 

As you unwrap your presents today, remember the gift that God gave that was wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.   Remember, the gift that God gave that never needs to be replaced because it is irreplaceable and covers us for eternity. 

 

As you celebrate today, make sure you are seeking and celebrating the "presence" and not just hyped up over getting presents.    Make sure you are telling your children and your grandchildren about the truth of God's Word in that He sent His Son as a gift to man and not hyping them up on the myth made up by man regarding Santa.  Have you ever thought about how the letters in the word santa switched around spell satan.   Don't let anyone or anything distract you or keep you from celebrating Your Savior today and every day.

King James Version

Leaning Not To Our Own Understanding and Acknowledging God In All Our Ways

Father, You said in Your Word that Your grace is sufficient for us.  You said in our weakness, You are strong.   Father, because we know Your Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of us, we know that we can and will accomplish great things in and with You.     

 

Father, You are God.   You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.   You are Jehovah Rapha, our Healer.   You are El Shaddai, our All-Sufficient God.   Father, You can do all things.   There is nothing to hard for You.   Father You will make a way in the wilderness.   You will shield and protect us from the tricks and traps of the enemy.   You will wrap Your loving arms around us and comfort us as only You can.

 

Father, our hope and our trust are in You.   For You said in Your Word that we are to lean on You and not our own understanding.   You said we are to acknowledge You in all of our ways.   You said that You would not let the enemy triumph over us.   You said that You would never leave us nor forsake us.   

 

Father, we believe that You will honor Your Word in our lives.   Father we are waiting on You to do what only You can in, through, and for us.

Jeremiah 32:17

King James Version

“Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.”

Are You Declaring and Decreeing In The Midst Of The Battle Who The Lord Is and What He Will Do For You?

We all experience battles in life but it is what we do in the midst of the battle that will determine our outcome.    How are you handling the attacks that are coming up against you in life?    Fear will come in the midst of the battle but the question is, how are you handling fear when it comes?   Are you binding it up and casting it down or are you allowing the fear to fuel your emotions, your actions, and your reactions? 

 

Are you seeking the Lord in the midst of the battle and declaring who He is?   Even though you find yourself in a battle, do you realize that the battle is not yours because it belongs to the Lord?   Are you trying hard to fight your enemies or are you taking a stance knowing that no fight is needed?   In other words, are you standing still and waiting to see the deliverance of the Lord?    

 

When you are in a battle, know that God hears your cry and believe that He will take care of you.
