For the next few days I am going to reshare some of the favorite posts from the last year of sharing the Daily Devotional Messages...This was shared July 20, 2020
 
Psalm 16:11
“You have made known to me the path of life: you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”
 
As we break forth in truly understanding that the good we are seeking is also seeking us, your whole being will fill with more JOY and KNOWING then it ever has before!  Part of that JOY is the closeness you experience with God, part of that is … (1 comments)

daily devotional: July 8 - Daily Devotional - May God Give You The Spirit of Wisdom - 07/06/21 06:58 AM
Ephesians 1:17
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.”
 
This is my prayer for you if you are not fully grasping the love, life and power of the Spirit of God in you.  You too can say this as a prayer for yourself.  You can say this as a prayer for others!  You are an out pouring of the things of God.  If you do not feel worthy of this calling that is not the voice of God saying so!
 
God … (1 comments)

daily devotional: July 7 - Daily Devotional - The Beauty Of A Gentle & Quiet Spirit - 07/06/21 06:52 AM
1 Peter 3:3-4
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  Instead it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
 
We have heard it before that is not the outer beauty, but the inner beauty that counts.  And inner beauty in God’s eyes is all these fruits of the Spirit we have been talking about.  Great inner beauty is the quiet and gentle spirit.  The person who is able to tune in to the … (0 comments)

daily devotional: July 6 - Daily Devotional - Be Humble And Serve - 07/05/21 03:56 PM
Matthew 23:9
“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
 
What is it like to love the unlovable, to serve the forgotten or to bless or forgive someone who previously angered or hurt you?  For many this would be a humbling experience.  There are hurting people in the world that need your compassion.  Each time we become more aware of how good we have it compared to so many others in the world we are better able to be thankful for all we have.
 
Each time you share the love, grace, mercy or peace of the Spirit of … (1 comments)

daily devotional: July 5 - Daily Devotional - Worship In Spirit And In Truth - 07/04/21 01:52 PM
John 4:24
“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
 
If you have felt this message in your soul, you will begin to understand that God is not some man in the sky passing judgement on you if you do wrong or rewarding you if you do good and is not someone you meet only when you die.
 
God is alive now within us. Being created in his image means we have the likeness of God within us. That Spirit part of us, is the God part of us.  We cannot be apart form God, and God hears us, … (0 comments)

daily devotional: July 4 - Daily Devotional - The Lord Surrounds His People Forever - 07/04/21 01:45 PM
Psalm 125:1-2
“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.  As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.”
 
Have you ever felt like you are alone?   Have you ever felt weak?  Certainly the more you are in the WORD and spending time in quiet you are gaining strength and power.  On top of that the hope is that we feel better and grow.  We have all had struggles or heartaches that come back into our minds from time to time. 
 
The promise here is that as we … (0 comments)

daily devotional: July 2 - Daily Devotional - God Takes Great Delight in You - 06/28/21 07:52 PM
Zephaniah 3:17
“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
 
When you look at the word of God you can amplify many words and scriptures to well up on the inside of you more of the power of God. When you get quiet and meditate on the things of God you can feel the energy of God streaming through you whole body.  This scripture is where we have the reminder that God is with YOU, and he is … (0 comments)

daily devotional: July 1 -Daily Devotional - A Mind Controlled by Spirit is Life & Peace - 06/27/21 11:43 AM
Romans 8:6
“The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace…”
 
Again there are so many distractions, obligations, marketing messages coming at us that we can find our thoughts running out of control.  The reminder today is that as you take time to find PEACE, STILLNESS, QUEIT you are helping gain control of your mind so that you can allow the Spirit of God, the Christ Mind to dwell in you and with you so that you can find that LIFE and PEACE.
 
You have plenty of examples I am sure of how you … (1 comments)

daily devotional: June 30 - Daily Devotional - Take Time For Quiet And Rest - 06/27/21 11:33 AM
Mark 6:30
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
 
This was Jesus telling his apostles to come away with him to rest after serving, helping, and performing miracles to the crowds.  You may not see your daily life as a miracle worker, but certainly you are doing a lot of helping and serving and this can take your energy from you.
 
Even if you are not facing challenges or difficulties and perhaps things are going well or even going miraculous you still need time to go away to a quiet place and rest.  … (0 comments)

daily devotional: June 29 - Daily Devotional - Be Still And Let The Lord Fight For You - 06/25/21 03:02 AM
Exodus 14:14
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.”
 
If you find yourself still trying to battle through tough situations, relationships, finances, health issues and have been doing all you can in the physical to make things work out; now is the time to fully trust God.  You may still have challenges, enemies, health issues, business or financial challenges that will come up from time to time to try to battle you. But you have the power on the Spiritual level to BE STILL and let God fight for you!
 
Often when we have tried in seemingly every way possible … (1 comments)

daily devotional: June 28 - Daily Devotional - Think on Things That Are Excellent - 06/25/21 02:25 AM
Philippians 4:8
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things.”
 
With so many messages coming our way throughout our day it may not always be easy to discern what is coming from God and what is not.  This verse gives us a great idea of what to think about and a what to listen for! 
 
When the other voices or messages of worry, anxiety, doubt and fear start to take up space in your thoughts its a great time to pull out an … (2 comments)

daily devotional: June 27 - Daily Devotional - No One Can Snatch You Out Of His Hand - 06/25/21 02:04 AM
John 10:27
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.”
 
When you are able to tune in to the voice of God, the things of God gets easier and easier.  Even when you stumble, or get off track you can feel comfort in the knowing that you can not be snatched away from God’s goodness.  Your eternity is here and now!  You can leave your mark on not only this generation but generations to follow by moving forward in … (1 comments)

daily devotional: June 26 - Daily Devotional - Walk in All the Ways of God - 06/24/21 07:40 PM
Jeremiah 7:23
“Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people.  Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you.”
 
Obedience to the word of God gets easier and easier the more you look at it with a loving heart and moving with the Spirit that leads you.  Its not something to grudgingly do like you or others may have been led to believe!  Its a heavenly gift that frees you to live the loving, prosperous, purposeful life you have always wanted.
 
The core of your being has been directing you all along … (0 comments)

daily devotional: June 25 - Daily Devotional - Let the Good Spirit Lead - 06/24/21 07:34 PM
Psalm 143:10
“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.”
 
The messages and depth of God’s teaching are endless. We can always grow.  People around you may be at a different period in their growth!  Stay humble and loving during your ascension of your growth in the things God.  The will of God is good.  Your desires for life continue to expand. You want to serve with purpose, you want to make a difference, your desires and God’s desires are weaving together!
 
Listen to the VOICE that moves you forward, that encourages … (1 comments)

daily devotional: June 24- Daily Devotional - Remaining In The Love of God - 06/23/21 05:22 AM
John 15:9-10
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.  Now remain in my love.  If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.”
 
There may have been a time when you thought it was a burden to remain in the Love of God in Christ Jesus.  There is no doubt there are many distractions that can pull you away from the love of the Father!  However, remaining in HIs love is not has challenging now as it was in the past.
 
When you are in … (0 comments)

daily devotional: June 23 - Daily Devotional - Love Trusts, Protects, Hopes & Perseveres - 06/22/21 03:28 AM
1 Corinthians 13:6-7
“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
 
When talking about love and meeting each situation with a refreshed or renewed spirit of love we must not forget that it is out of our Fathers love that we have been given the grace and mercy to always be looked at by our Father with LIGHT AND LOVE!  Thus its easier to look at others with LIGHT and LOVE knowing the great gift we have been given!  And that is a majority truth that overrides the wrongs that someone … (1 comments)

daily devotional: June 22 - Daily Devotional - Adding More Love To The World - 06/21/21 03:57 AM
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
“Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”
 
What ever you do lead with love.  Do it with love, respond with love as much and as often as possible.  What most people need is more love!  What most challenging situations have is a lack of love.  Most sickness’ come from a lack of love.  Most evil and darkness is a lack of love and light. 
 
As you move forward on your journey … (1 comments)

daily devotional: June 21 - Daily Devotional - You Are Called For A Higher Purpose - 06/20/21 06:46 AM
Esther 4:14
“And who knows but that you have to come to royal position for such a time as this?”
 
Esther was thrust into a position she did not want to be in but she was told that she was likely there for a purpose and that purpose was to save her family.  For the most part we live in a time of freedom.  However, there still needs to be urgency to help your family bloodlines.  So many people are on a path of ease, comfort and complacency.
 
You were called for a higher purpose. You are reading this now and growing in the … (2 comments)
