Devotions

★When you seek me with all your heart you will find me. Says the Lord. He cares for you and he knows when your hurting. He desires for you to seek him. He's not hiding he's in plain sight waiting for you to want him. When you decide you want him he will open the eyes of your heart to see him standing there before you where he has always been. Call upon him and he will answer you.

★Jesus believes in you. He has confidence in you even when you don't have it in yourself. He believes you can overcome anything and according to his holy word you can. Why is it that we cant believe in ourdelves and trust Jesus even after he has given us the power and authority through his name to heal people, to se people free, to restore and redeem the broken. Why do we have such little faith yet, refuse to use it to move our own mountains. We expect God to show up and show out (escpecically for others), but we don't do anything for him. Faith without works is dead and faith without love doesn't count. Stop blaming HIM, HE did not hurt you he choose you, he called you, he loved you first. He believes in you and has confidence in you. Run back into his loving embrace. He's waiting on you.

★Jesus promises to leave his peace with us. We must learn to trust him and give him all our anxieties. We have the mind of Christ. We don't have to live in fear, worry, or stress. We can be at peace. He never fails us he never forsakes us. Instead he forgives us, he loves us, he protects us, and he cares for us. He cares for us in a way that we are unable to comprehend. His ways are higher than our ways his plans and his thoughts are out of this world. They're heavenly where we are limited to making plans based on what we see in the physical. Our faith however changes the way we see things we can see into the spiritual when we have faith. Faith let's us see things as Jesus sees them. We are given the mind of Christ we get to interrupt things differently than the world. Our faith renews our mind. Peace is a gift from above, but we can't receive it until we trust Jesus and in order to trust Jesus we have to allow our faith to renew our minds.

★We need to learn to be silent. Be silent and listen for the voice of the Lord. We need to stop telling people our business, what we heard God say to us. We need to sit back and wait on God to bring those things to pass. Sometimes we can hinder our own blessings by the words that come out of our mouth. Words filled with doubt, or disbelief will pause those promises from the Lord from manifesting in your life sooner. Speak to the mountains if you have a little faith tell every situation to line up with the word of God. But stay silent the people around you also carry life and death in the tongue. 

★God revitalizes us. He refurbishes, rebuilds, reshapes, washes us there are just so many ways God changes us. We need to get a hold of God. He is in the business of bringing dead things back to life. We need to feed our faith and let our doubts starve God is going to make it happen whether we believe it or not. That is who God is, he doesn't care if you want him to do it or not if he wants to do it he will. Trust in God today. Give him praise. Stand firm and be courageous for his word gives us life everlasting. 

★God's love is everlasting. It's patient and kind it doesn't envy or boast it is not proud. I could keep going but we all know the love chapter by heart. It has been reproduced many times and even become part of our homes through decorations and photos. God's love is real it's hard to feel when we get caught up in the things of this world. That's why it's important to be in the world and not of it. God cleanses us he makes us white as snow. God is caple of removing the stains your laundry detergent leaves behind. I know you've seen all the commercials but that white as snow is different. When you see untouched snow for the first time it glistens and shimmers. It looks nothing like a brand new white shirt. When God gets a hold of us we shine. He tells us to let our light shine before men. We are the light of the earth. We need to be spreading his love so that others will shine. We don't have to react like the rest of the world they are part of it but we are not. We are the children of God it's time to stand firm in that knowledge and share the good news with the world. They too can be set apart and different. We don't fit into this world but we all fit together in the body of Christ. Go out and spread his love, if you want to know how to do that go read the love chapter it tells you be patient and kind do not boast nor be envious... Go ahead you know the rest. But remember this one thing there is no greater love than when a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus laid his life down to be your friend he's not asking you to lay yours down. He's asking you as his friend to tell somebody what he did for them. He laid his life down so they too no matter what they did may also call him friend.

★It's never to early to start being Thankful infact the bible tells us to be thankful in everything. So lets be thankful this fall for the good report. The report from the Lord almighty not the report from the dr, not the report from your job, or school, or your neighbor, but the report of the Lord. What report am i talking about, the word of God. The word of God reports, you are healed by his stripes, you are loved, you have more than enough, more food, more clothes, shoes, more money to not only pay your bills but to give joyfully. The report of the Lord is good. Be thankful today and remember to do good and share with others these are the sacrifices that are pleasing to the Lord.
