Come into the world of abundance where love is the only payment required.
"Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you— the sure mercies of David." ISAIAH 55:2-3 (KJV)
S eek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
(The Word of the Lord placed in the mouth of Isaiah, the prophet.) (Isaiah 55:6-13, KJV)

You are a miraculous Blessing which the LORD has made to bring His Infinite Glory upon all of His Creation.
"The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it." PROVERB 10:22 (NIV)
A utomobiles. I heard people say, "The Lord blessed me with a car." We often look the Blessing of the LORD in the face and do not recognize it, do not see it, and do not move in the Blessing of the Lord. We are all, each one of us, a blessing of the Lord, from the Lord, and to the Lord.
Cars have killed more people than all the wars combined; that is all the wars that were ever fought on this planet. Does that sound like a blessing to you? Maybe you want to call it a resource, not a blessing. Someone said, "What if children couldn’t get to Sunday school, then someone got a car and could take them?" This is a big issue. God will often, almost always move us into the area where He wants us to be, and we struggle to make our lives, our world, the way we want it. God will position us not to have transportation or whatever, so we can be in the mind set, in the location, in the place He wants us to be, so He can BEST use us. What we often do, more often than not, we want things a specific way, the way WE imagine it is best, or that pleases us or our bodies, our families, or friends, and we move with all our energy in that direction. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God…" Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
How in the world can someone come out of their mouth with: "The Lord blessed me with a car."? The question is: "Which lord are they talking about?" How can someone say a car is a blessing?! "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…" John 10:10 (NIV) Cars have maimed more people than all the wars. Cars and trucks pollute the planet: smog. Cars help destroy the ozone layer. Rubber trees are destroyed for the tires of trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs and cars. Cars are not easily recycled back into nature; look at the junkyards of the world. Asphalt is poured on the earth, covering the earth, thus heating it up; and it covers the earth’s healing power from being utilized by people. Thousands of people die dealing with obtaining, distributing, and the wealth associated with petroleum which is made into gasoline fuel.
Many of our egos get big when we get in our Mercedes, BMWs, "luxury" cars, or sports cars. Or we become evil if someone sits on, bumps, or scratches are cars. Often we get the feeling or the impression we are better than people seen waiting at the bus stop who we believe have no car. Many people have Mercedes automobiles which they cannot afford; not able to afford the repair costs. Pride is an evil which topped even the devil. Once people with Mercedes cars snickered at people with small cars; now people with small cars snicker at people with gas-guzzling cars. Do you have a car, you may ask? Yes, I do. But I understand that it is not a blessing from God. I also understand that it is a resource which gets me from point "A" to point "B," and nothing else. For me, it is not a status symbol, nor does it define who I am. I have to use the automobile which was designed with the destruction of mankind and the world in mind for good not evil by limiting its use and its negative impact.

Probably the greatest positive change will come in our lives as Christians when we realize our sonship and daughtership in Christ.
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." ROMANS 8:15 (KJV)
T his is one of the most unique verses in the Bible. It is indeed, because it shows our present identity in God. In order to explain exactly what I mean by this; let me show you the same verse in the Living Bible:"And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like God’s very own children, adopted into the bosom of his family, and calling to him, "Father, Father". Before we knew the Lord, we were slaves to sin and death. We were in total bondage to the devil and the powers of hell. Now, when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, the power of sin and death was broken over our lives, and we should now act not as slaves to sin and its effects, but as masters over it. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2 (KJV)
Even as newborn Christians, most of us still act and relate to God as fearful slaves of His. We try to obey Him and do His will from a slave position, filled with not the right kind of fear. YES, He is our Master, and YES, we should fear Him, but as children fear and respect their father (and since He is our Father, that places Him in the position of being our Master too). See what is written here – we are adopted into His family (not enlisted in His plantation), and therefore we can call Him: Father, Father. That is a totally different perspective. We are His sons and daughters, and as such, we voluntarily give ourselves (our spirit, soul, mind, emotions and body) as a living sacrifice to serve Him all the days of our lives. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
So, let us remove the wrong slave mentality, filled with the demonic type of fear, and let us replace it with being His slaves, fearing and respecting Him from this new perspective – as His sons and daughters.

Whether going through righteously or going through "the other stuff," God’s Grace and Mercy abounds.
"But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." JAMES 1:14 (KJV)
S easons of deliverance. There are seasons when a person gets bound by evil, bound by self, or bound by others. There are also seasons when a person gets unbound. It is in God’s power to deliver anyone anytime from any type of bondage. It is in our power to ask God to deliver us and for us to walk in our deliverance through obedience to God’s Word. It is our disobedience which dictates to our lives when our season of bondage is over. This is not to be confused with trials and life’s circumstances which are designed to help us to grow spiritually.
God gives us the ability to not even get bound up through Christ Jesus. "But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." Romans 6:17-18 (NIV) If we are going through something when we are in Christ that is not bondage that is spiritual growth: learning responsibility, acting obedient, or just a trying time when we learn to grow.
Christ gives us the power to not get bound by the whiles of satan. He gives us power not to be like that, not to be evil. Once we grow, as we mature, we go through things which help us to grow to become spiritual powerhouses. Backsliding, disobedience, envy, deceit, lies, jealousy, and forms of evil is not growth. It is disobedience to God’s Word and not living in the Word of God, nor living in Christ. Seasons of growth are not seasons of disobedience. Seasons of disobedience are not seasons of spiritual growth. Jesus Christ can make seasons of disobedience work in our behalf, but it is not designed to go that way. We must cooperate with Jesus, get on the team and stay there ("we got to let some things go").
"Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:" James 1:13 (KJV) Let a person be convicted. Many people do not know that they are in a spiritual war. Know that we are in a spiritual war and that we must prepare for battle and know when we are bound! That which you know, that you must do, do it. Do it now or be deceived now! (James 1:22)

How can I be a blessing to a little child who is really in need and not rebuke him/her?
"Then little children were bought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’" MATTHEW 19:13 (NKJ)
B rothers and sisters, I want you all who will glance at these few words, to put yourselves in this condition: as a little child. Have you ever been taught about the true nature of the kingdom of God?
Children are not excluded from the kingdom of God on the basis of being black or white, poor or destitute. Submission to the true will of God is the criterion by which we are judged entrance into the kingdom. "Submit yourselves therefore to God…" James 4:7a (KJV) "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and will all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Matthew 22:37-39 (KJV)
Entrance into the kingdom does not depend upon rules of ethics; especially those that make negative separation based on race or color, rich or poor. "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by they words thou shalt be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV)
What you should know today is that entrance in God’s kingdom involves doing redemptive acts for those who are less fortunate that we are. "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;" Colossians 3:12 (KJV) Note: that our children are our future and we must therefore give them Christian training so that when they grow up, they won’t depart from God’s teachings. God instructs us in Proverb 22:6; "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he not will to depart from it."
"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." 2 Peter 1:5-7 (KJV)

We have the power of Jesus residing in us; use it today.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works that these he will do, because I go to My Father." JOHN 14:12 (NKJ)
P ower of Ascension. Since my delivery, the Lord Jesus Christ has been revealing the Word to me as never before. When you get "down in the mouth," depressed, sad, miserable, hopeless, grieving, and you are at the "end of your rope" – think about this—dwell on this.Jesus has many powers. And there are many spiritual, supernatural laws in operation on the earth, under the earth, above the earth, and in earth. You can imagine what I am talking about. God makes things simple for us! But Christ Jesus has many powers. And what I am about to tell you is only one of the powers of Jesus—the Power of Ascension. This Power has two others, which may help you to identify with it—the Power of the Crucifixion and the Power of the Resurrection. Are you with me? Hang on! The Power of Ascension sounds like this. "Focus on Heaven!" "Put your mind on Jesus!" "Be positive!" "Keep your focus on Jesus!" "Look on the bright side!" "Every cloud has a silver lining!"
This is what it sounds like in its simplistic form. When we take the posture of being positive by focusing on the good things of the Lord and keeping our minds on Heaven, our troubles become minuscule. The challenges of our lives become small and tiny instead of insurmountable, which often causes us to be twisted up. We perceive the challenges in our lives as manageable, instead of crushing, and we can overcome the present negative situation and live for the coming more positive times.
Pray about what I am saying. Think about what I am saying. Just try it—it works! It works because it is a supernatural law set up by God. It works whether you are a Christian or not. God’s supernatural laws have been prostituted by satan. This Power of Jesus has been prostituted into "Be Positive." But that’s okay. God makes it okay, because it is a way to bring people into His bosom. One last thing if you haven’t received it yet. Remember in the Bible when it says that Peter was walking on water. Peter was executing the Power of Ascension. Where was his focus? His eyes were on Jesus! "Focus on Jesus!"

The Power of God resides in you; know this! Apply this!
"And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." GENESIS 1:27 (NAS)
G OD’s Powers in you - 1. These are a few of the powers which God has granted us, which He has bestowed upon us on behalf of our service to Him. In creating us, God has placed in us some of His Powers. Jesus in making His Supreme Sacrifice (so we do not have to sacrifice anymore), has bestowed upon us, Powers to overcome while in our earthen vessels.EMANATION and CREATION
PROCREATION and DOMINION – "Pro" means to extend or move forward. We as humans are to extend, to build upon that which YAHWEH, the Most High, has created. We procreate not just ourselves as humans but we extend all of God’s Creation in the direction He has set forth for it: not in our own direction. We have the power to create over and over and over again. Not just babies, but new inventions, new ideas, new desires, new relationships, and the list goes on. "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…" Genesis 1:26 (KJV) We steward, protect, nurture, and love all that which God has created and which we have created to further God’s Kingdom. When we create a family, we nurture and love that family as per God’s directions. (Ephesians 5; Colossians 3) CHOICE and FREE WILL - God Almighty has given us free will to choose our direction in life: to serve Him (in serving others in need especially widows and children), to serve the enemies of God (anything destroying God’s Creation), or to serve ourselves (self-serving thoughts and actions). We have to freely choose to serve God. "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15. "For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." James 4:15; "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13 POWERS OF GOD WITHIN YOU

Monday, 8 May 2006 LOVE = GIVING, OBEDIENCE, and SACRIFICE.
"Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." 1 JOHN 4:7-8 (KJV)
G od wants you, not your money. Love is giving and not expecting anything in return. Love is obedience to God’s Word. Love is sacrificing your desires for God’s desires for your life. Giving is love. Obedience is love. Sacrifice is love. Abraham was prepared to give his son as a living sacrifice. (Genesis 22) God gave His only begotten Son so that we might have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Isaac was prepared to give his life as a sacrifice to God. Jesus gave His Life so that we could have eternal life. Isaac was obedient as he laid there to receive the sharp blade of his father’s knife. Jesus was obedient unto a brutal death on the merciless cross.God doesn’t care about money, your money, my money or anyone’s money. God didn’t create money in Creation for Adam and Eve. Money was created my man and prostituted by evil. God told me that silver and gold was dirt. What is dirt to God? God told me that trees come from the dirt; they are dirt. Paper comes from trees. What is a tree to God? What is money to God? Where is He going to spend it? Do you still think God wants your money? No. God wants your emotion (love). God wants your time (giving). God wants your attention (obedience). God wants your conversation (love). God wants you to spend time with Him (giving), to love Him, to listen to Him, to share with Him; to share your life, to share your world, to share His world with Him. Put your money in the church, but give God your love. Give your money in tithes and offering, but give God your time. Share your money with starving children, widows, and the less fortunate, but Give God your life. Give God your love by being a cheerful giver of your material possessions (Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21), by being obedient to the words of Jesus (Romans 5:19, 6:16; 2 Corinthians 10:5) and by sacrificing your life unto death in service to God (Romans 12:1). Stop whatever you are doing and say, "God, right now, I give you my life. God, right now, I give you my soul. God, I truly, truly love You. I love You, God. Thank You for loving me too I will be more obedient, more giving, and sacrifice my life for service to You and Your Kingdom! I will love you more."

God is with us. Jesus is with us. The Holy Ghost is with us. Christ must be in us and we must be in Christ!
"…Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin…" ROMANS 8:9-10 (KJV)
Spirit of the anti-christ. This devotional is extremely important. The Holy Spirit revealed this to me a few years ago and I have been holding it in discernment. Today is its release day. Send it to fellow Christians. It is a matter of life or death on our planet. Look at the state the planet is in as the leading "Christian" nation, the USA, is at the helm.
The Hebrew world and those of kindred spirits had been waiting for the CHRIST to come from Heaven. He came, God in the form of a man, JESUS, who was the embodiment of the Christ, God in Spirit. Listen, there is a spirit called the anti-christ which is here and has been here since the time Jesus walked the earth. (1 John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3)
This is not the spirit of the "anti-jesus," but that of the anti-christ. This is important, because it is not the name of Jesus nor the concept of JESUS which is to be crushed by the spirit of the anti-christ, but the concept of CHRIST IN US. This absolute truth, the anti-christ is designed and purposed to destroy by keeping this ABSOLUTE TRUTH from mankind. A few of us, the remnant, spiritual warriors, have received this truth. May God Almighty through Christ Jesus reveal this to you now. Selah! Mystery revealed: Christ in us is the hope of glory. "…the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations.…which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Colossians 1:26-27 (NKJ)
There is no anti-jesus demon, but an anti-christ demon which has been resolved to diminish the true knowledge of our being able to receive the Christ as we have the ability to receive the Holy Spirit. Christ in us (Romans 8:9, Galatians 4:19) and we in Him. (Romans 8:1) That is how Jesus proposed that we could do the things that He did and more. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." John 14:12 (KJV)
Pray about this. Ask God, ask Jesus to allow the Christ to come into your life and see what Jesus says and watch what happens to your life. You will be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Truly Christ in us is the hope of glory. Stop checking your pocket book, your wallet, re-balancing your checkbook, calculating your tithe and seed faith. Mammon, a principality wants your focus on money, not Christ. Take your focus off of money and place them on Mark 12:30, the first commandment of Jesus. Place your focus on Christ Jesus so we can change the world and take the world out of the hands of evil. Do not give up. With God all things are possible. The Grace of the Lord Christ Jesus be with your spirit. Amen.

(printing style: booklet) PDF Copy for Friends and Family (print two pages per sheet) Activate the Powers of God in you by living by Jesus’ Words!
"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." HEBREWS 13:20-21 (KJV)
G OD’s Powers in you - 2. We have been created in the image of God. We have a part of our mothers and our fathers residing in us; we also have a part of God, our Creator residing in us. Each day we experience that part of our parents which we do not know exists through genetics. A part of God dwells in us, His character, His attributes through supernatural, spiritual genetics. Natural and supernatural attributes are in your bloodline. The attributes of God are in your spiritual bloodline.GRACE – supernatural favor showing service, love, mercy, forgiveness, faith, understanding, peace, joy, laughter, happiness, compassion, pleasure, and/or excellence. "And of His fulness we have all received, and grace for grace." John 1:16 (NKJ) Grace is a gift from God. Your grace extended to others is a gift from God through you. It is increased towards you every time you extend it to others. This is an attribute of God which dwells within us. "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11 (NKJ)
MERCY – acts of kindness, forgiveness, compassion, and helpfulness. "Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Your mercy remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O LORD." Psalm 25:7 (NKJ) Be merciful to yourself; do not give yourself such a difficult time. Do not make your life worst than it really is. All things are working on your behalf. (Romans 8:28) The mercy you give to others is extended to you. (Matthew 6:14-15; Galatians 6:7)
FORGIVENESS – to pardon or remiss, to end blame and resentment; being forgiving or forgiving others and self. If God didn’t have this quality, we would all but be destroyed by now. But God loves us enough to forgive us. We must love ourselves enough to forgive one another and to forgive ourselves for our present and past mistakes. "If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You…" Psalms 130:3-4 (NKJ) Activate and use the powers of God which reside in you by applying them in your everyday life to one another and to yourself. This is God’s miracle power at work in each of us. This will heal you, your family, and your community.

The Mysteries of Heaven belong to you; ask for them and use them wisely.
"He answered and said to them, ‘Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven…’" MATTHEW 13:11 (NKJ)
3 MYSTERIES REVEALED. Here are three mysteries as revealed to me by the Holy Spirit:RECEIVING THE MYSTERIES OF GOD. Before you read the Bible or any material from which you want to receive supernatural benefits, say this prayer: Lord God, in the name of Your Son Jesus, the Christ, Immanuel, allow me to receive from Your Holy Word, (or from this book or material) Your Divine Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding with Remembrance; and reveal to me the Mysteries that lie within as I read. Thank You Father God for doing this for me and the lives I touch, in Jesus Christ name, Emmanuel, I ask. Amen. Use this prayer when you want to receive from the Holy Spirit the Revealed Word and Truth. Be prepared to receive the Truth, and DO NOT DENY the TRUTH.
JESUS IS WITH YOU ALWAYS. Christ is with us always, with us, the brothers and sisters of Jesus. The spirit of the anti-christ will not have you believe this and would that you have an escape mentality, waiting for Jesus’ return in the clouds (Revelation 1:7), not knowing that He is here now with you. He is with us, among us right now. God told Joshua, "…for the LORD thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9 (KJV). Paul told the Hebrews in 13:5 that Jesus said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (KJV) Jesus in Matthew 28:20 said: "…and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Jesus also said: "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20 (NKJ) Jesus is coming back with an army, but He is here now.
PRAY ALWAYS. (Luke 18:1; 21:36) Receive an understanding of Jesus being with us; always being with us. When you are with someone all day and all night, know that they are talking to you. When you are with your friends they are talking to you and you to them. That is the beginning of the type of relationship that Jesus wants with you. Jesus is with us always; always talking, always listening. We have to know this and listen for His talking, His speaking to our ears, our hearts, our eyes, our minds, our souls, into our lives. When He talks, listen and talk back to Him as if He is alive, because He is alive; He is risen. The anti-christ would have you believe otherwise. Obey Jesus, follow His Commands when He speaks to you. Acknowledge Jesus in all aspects of your life (Proverb 3:6). As you communicate with Jesus, you will tire of talking about yourself. Start talking about your family, your friends, your neighbors, your community, your church, your government, your country, the world, the world’s problems, world peace, world starvation, world ignorance, the lack of shelter, lack and abundance in the world. Jesus will listen and move on your prayers. Prayer is communication with Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, or any Holy member of God’s Family. And with this I pass.

God is calling us to go forth as leaders. Go forth and lead.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." GENESIS 1:26–31 (KJV)
G od’s Call for us to Lead. Consider this. That first description of mankind in the Bible involves leadership. According to Genesis 1:26, God designed us to lead, to have authority, to be stewards, and take dominion. So as Christians our lives must be able to lead others to Christ.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image and in our likeness, and let them rule over every creeping things that creeps on the earth." We were made in God’s image means we were created to lead. The important point I want us all to look at is verse 26; the words "AND LET THEM RULE." God has made us that we were fashioned to lead and rule.
How and why God calls us to lead? He said, "Let us make man in our image…. and let him rule." Christians have debated the subject of leadership for centuries. s it biblical to lead? Are we not called to be followers, instead of leaders? Are we not called to be servants, instead of rulers? Can we honestly believe that leadership is a biblical idea?
When we study the Bible closely, we will see that leadership is indeed God’s idea. God is not only the ultimate leader, but He has called us to lead as well. I know that leadership is God’s will for believers, so others can follow. I started to lead at a very early age when coming up. I had a soccer team and I was serving as founder and president in junior high school. I served as vice president for my school, also served as captain for the soccer team, and I have joy in God for all those endeavors.
It’s about time we as believers take up the responsibilities to lead others to Christ. We were leaders when we were not saved, but its time now that we become effective leaders. God gave humans authority over the whole world over the whole earth. We should be comfortable with two positions. First: being in a position under God’s authority. Secondly: being in a position of authority over the world. God has given us this calling, so we must discover what it means to lead as God does.
DISCOVER LEADERSHIP

Be patient and expect great things, the LORD is with us and will never forsake us. Our prayers, Jesus has heard.
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." DEUTERONOMY 31:6 (NKJ)
N ow after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

God will answer the questions to which you can receive the answers.
"My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God." PROVERBS 2:1-5 (NKJ)
Q uestions? The only bad question is one not asked. Many of us have heard this. It is better to ask a question than not to ask. In some circumstances though, it is better not to ask man the question, but the Holy Spirit, who will teach us all things. "…the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things…." John 14:26 (NKJ)
You may be the person or know the person who asks a thousand questions all the time. If you are the person asking a thousand, a million, or a goggle of questions: "Why am I asking so many questions?", is the question you must ask yourself. What are you going to do with all those answers? Are you being nosy? What differences is your knowing the answers going to make? Make sure you use discernment, wisdom, and sound judgment when you receive answers to life’s questions from mankind because you do not want to be manipulated by the person giving you the answers. It is better to ask God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit the question.
One of the biggest questions you want to think about is: "Do I want to know the answer to that question?" Do you want to know the answer to all the mysteries of God? Can you handle it? Are you emotional and spiritually mature enough to receive and handle the knowing? The reason is because knowing requires doing. When you ask many, many questions of God or mankind, when you receive the answers, you receive also responsibility to act, to do, to change, and to implement that which you have learned. It completes the cycle of receiving the answer to the question, and prepares you to receive the answer to the next complex question or mystery.
When you have a question, ask them of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. Expect an answer from any of God’s Creation. The answer will come because you asked in Jesus’ name. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do…" John 14:13 (NKJ) Do you really want to know how God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit can be every place, with everyone at any time? Can you fathom many universes within a universe? Who can understand the mind of God? (Romans 11:34; Isaiah 29:18; 1 Corinthians 2:16) It is enough for us to be in this minute in which we live. It is enough for us to manage our lives, to direct our young, children’s lives, and maintain a loving, caring relationship with our husbands, wives, and families. The Lord is directing this world and the lives therein. We have to make it enough to develop and maintain a loving, caring, long-term, intimate, sharing relationship with Christ Jesus and our Father God, minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day.

With JESUS, we CAN defeat evil as it attempts to negatively impact our lives.
"When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none." MATTHEW 12:43 (NKJ)
F ront seat driving. It seems that many Christians like to ignore the existence of evil though its presence can easily be seen in the world. Many people just read over those passages in the Bible which explicitly tell you that Jesus was casting out demons, devils, or evil from people. (Matthew 8:16, 28; 9:32-33; Mark 1:32,39; Luke 4:33) This means that devils, demons, evil can and does enter people, use people, and can come and go in and out of people. This is real because we are vessels. Even if you do not believe or chose to accept it, or if you ignore it; it is real and it happens.
Have you ever been driving a car or riding in a car and there is a passenger who tells the driver which way to go. They tell the driver: "Don’t go that way, turn right here!" "Why are you going this way? I know a shorter way." "Where are we? We should have gone that way."
I know you have seen that person, listened to that person, or maybe you have been that person. When you are driving and someone or something else is telling you which way to go, I call that "FRONT SEAT DRIVING." You are driving your body, but something else is telling you which way to go. You have control over some of your decisions, so you are not completely out of control—not completely in bondage. But you are capable of doing some of the most idiotic actions, having some of the most absurd thoughts and dreams, and you have impulses like you have never had before. And you think: "This is not like me. I would not think this. Where did that thought come from? I wouldn’t dare do what I am thinking."
Before you know it, you are doing that crazy, evil thing that you were thinking (or that was placed in your head), you are acting out evil imaginations (that you don’t know from whence they came), saying things which are not at all like you, and going places which you know are not in your best interest or in the interest of your family or community. You are front seat driving, but something else is telling you which way to go.
Our thoughts, the desires of our hearts, the lusts of our flesh, our actions, in other words, our disobedience to God’s Word, to the Words of Jesus, or the Directions of the Holy Spirit opens our bodies, opens our temple doors to the presence of evil, evil energy, evil thoughts and actions which have the potential to negatively impact our lives. Learn to say, "The LORD rebuke thee!" when evil thoughts, emotions, behavior, actions occur or try to occur in either you, your family members, or anyone with whom you are near (at work, school, or church).

When in bondage, you cannot hear, see, think, or act in rational spirituality.
"When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." MATTHEW 8:16-17 (NKJ)
B ack seat driving. I know you have been in the car when someone was telling you which way to go. Sometimes when riding in a taxi, you want to tell the driver which way to go. Typically, "back seat driving" refers to a person sitting in the back seat telling you, the driver, which way to go. In the case of this devotional, "back seat driving" refers to you sitting in the driver’s seat of your body and a demon or evil spirit is sitting in the back seat driving your body around as if it is theirs. The person in question needs you help.
When "back seat driving" occurs, "front seat driving" has already occurred, where you can make decisions on what to do right or wrong, but constantly make the wrong choices. In the case of "back seat driving" you do not have a choice over what you are doing, saying, thinking, or acting. You do have those choices only when you are given the opportunity to have choices or allowed to have choices by the back seat driving entity. "Back seat driving" is a way of saying you are in bondage, spiritual bondage.
When you can’t stop having that drink—When you must go to the strip joint—When must have that pair of shoes when you have fifty at home—When you have to work out when your muscles are exhausted—you are on the road to bondage or are driving while something else is "back seat driving." You know when someone is riding in their car (body) and not driving, because you say: "What is wrong with Susy? She is acting differently." Don’t blame it on "that time of the month." "Why did he say that? Has he lost his mind?" Not only has he lost his mind, but he is "front seat riding" in his own body. "Doesn’t he know that is killing him?" He knows but has not control.
There is a way out of this thing for the person who has lost control; out of this thing called bondage. "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." Mark 9:29 (KJV) Prayer and fasting works. The person in bondage will not do this, but you can. The person in bondage will be able to hear you, see you, but will not be able to respond to you. It is like they are tied up in the back seat of their car (body) while something else is driving. Speak a word from Jesus into their lives until you see them change. "The LORD JESUS rebuke thee, right now."

If we give our faithfulness to the Lord, He is pretty well able to do all the rest.
"So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt." GENESIS 45:8 (KJV)
Y es, Joseph was so blessed by the Lord and he became such a blessing that it is hardly believable. Yes, he became God’s instrument for salvation from worldwide starvation. Yes, he had such an incredible favor of the Lord upon his life, that wherever he went and under whatever circumstances he had been placed, he prospered spiritually and physically. What we should notice about him though, is his faithfulness.
Many of us say: "I want to be faithful only to the Lord, to be accountable only to Him and He to be my only Master". That’s good, but it’s not possible. Because the Lord is building a Kingdom. He is building a House. And He is building a Body. None of this is possible with one person. You stand beside someone else. You have people above You and You have people below You. You can find them everywhere – in Your home, in Your Church, at Your workplace, in Your school – everywhere. Now what I want You to see is that Joseph prospered BECAUSE he took the vision of those above him, and prospered it. He didn’t build an empire for himself. He was just faithful to the Lord in his heart, to his natural father Jacob, to his master Potifar, to his master in jail, and finally to Pharaoh. All this brought a constant promotion in his life until at the age of 37, he entered into a "world saving ministry". WOW!
Maybe that’s the key for You. Maybe You should get more involved in Your Church. You may not have a dream how to build a Church, but Your pastor does. Maybe You should be faithful to his vision. You may not have a clue how to build a corporation, but Your boss has. Maybe You should be faithful and the Lord will use You. I know it may not seem as the right thing to do and we can find a thousand excuses not to do it, but if You search through the Bible, You will see this principle everywhere – Joseph, David, Daniel, Nehemiah, Esther, Paul, etc., etc. Just think about that. Potifar was Joseph’s master at first, but because of his faithfulness Joseph was promoted to such an extent, that he became Potifar’s master in time.
FAITHFULNESS

Stand when you think, feel, and believe that you cannot do so.
"I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am reproved." HABAKKUK 2:1 (KJV)
T he Christian Attitude—1. The attitude Christians have when God’s answers are delayed. With faith and trusting in God, we know that whatever we will ask in the name of Jesus Christ according to His will, it will be given unto us. That’s the reason why we boldly bring our prayer requests before Him, believing that He will surely answer us. The Bible says in Philippians 4:19: "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Initially, a human being’s life here on the earth is full of challenges. We desire a lot of things to survive. But we cannot do anything by ourselves, because we don’t have enough power and strength. One day Jesus told His disciples: "Without me, you cannot do anything." "I am the Vine, you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me – cut off from vital union with Me – you can do nothing." John 15:5 (AMP) Therefore, we don’t have to rely on our own power, because our power is limited. The power of God is unlimited. He has the ability to do everything. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, too big for God—nothing that He cannot do. "…‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’" Matthew 19:26 (NKJ) In fact, He shuts the door nobody will open. If He opens the door, nobody will be able to shut it. What a Mighty God we serve!
No, matter how big your problems seem to be—either big, small, or anything in between, just take a step of faith and show them, show your problems to God. In appropriate time, God will surely reply. In this prayer process, you will have to wait patiently and of course you have to put this in your mind: God can respond to you one of these three ways:
1) Yes, 2) No, 3) or Wait.
If you get one of these answers, receive it joyfully with thanksgiving. "For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer." 1 Timothy 4:4 (NIV)
RECEIVE WITH THANKSGIVING

In times of need, extend a helping hand. You may need one, one day.
"That Your beloved may be delivered, save with Your right hand, and hear me." PSALM 60:5 (NKJ)
D ear beloved. Greetings to you in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Thank you very much for your kind prayers and encouragement towards the Lord’s poor, the Lord’s faith ministry, and the Lord’s orphanage work. We are praying for you and your family and your kind services. "Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and Your glory above all the earth; that Your beloved may be delivered, save with Your right hand, and hear me." Psalms 108:5-6 (NKJ)
Please kindly pray for us and encourage us. Yesterday night, there was a very big incident. A burning the fire at Akkivaripalem village. It was very great and destroyed 25 houses that collapsed during or after the fire accident. So many people are dead and have not any help nor any way. This is a present needy time. I am going to accident place. So many people are crying because they are now homeless and their property is destroyed or collapsed. It is a very great sadness.
This is a present, very great needy time, so Christian people are helping in some ways. I am distributing 100 kg of rice. I am praying for this incident. I would like to help in more ways. There is a present need for money, since the dead did not leave any money or it was destroyed in the fire. Please kindly pray for us and do as the Lord leads you concerning this incident. I am very displeased because of this accident.
Please kindly pray for us and encourage us. Please help me, so that I am able to send help to destroyed peoples. My family, church members, co-pastors, and orphan children all greet you all. I am waiting for your kind reply.

The Lord’s favor is our strongest weapon.
"Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married." ISAIAH 62:4 (KJV)
W e can see here the Lord giving a new name to His people. They thought they were forsaken by the Lord. Many times God’s people feel the same way. Yet, the Lord has a new name for us. The Hebrew name Hephzibah literary means: "My delight and favor is in and upon him". Wow! The Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant (Psalm 35:27). His favor is upon us!
His favor was upon Joseph and wherever he went and whatever he did, he prospered, so much as even becoming the instrument the Lord used to save the whole world from a worldwide starvation. The Lord’s favor was upon Daniel and 4 of the greatest kings ever to reign on the Earth praised the Lord of Heaven and Earth because of him. The Lord’s favor was upon Jesus and He increased in that favor until He became the ultimate expression of God’s favor upon mankind as a whole.
Somebody may say: "But all these people lived and served the Lord under the Old Testament and as far as Jesus is concerned, He is God." Ok, just read Acts 2:47 – God’s people gathered together, praised the Lord together, witnessed for Him, and the Lord’s favor was upon them so mightily, that they had the favor of all people too. When the Lord’s favor is upon somebody, they also have the favor of men – believers and unbelievers alike. If we understand that spiritually we are not called: ‘Forsaken’ anymore, but ‘My delight and favor is in and upon him’, we will change the world. That is our mission anyway.

Trusting in God means trusting in His Word. The Bible says, He has exalted His Word even above His name.
"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." MATTHEW 6:31-34 (KJV)
We say we trust the Lord. Shall we trust His Word then? Shall we stop worrying about our future? Shall we have confidence that the Lord is sufficient, that He knows what we need and that He is well able to bless us more than enough, to overflowing, so that we can be a blessing to this world? Shall we start seeking His kingdom purposes first; His agendas, His mission, His heart desires, His passions, His will and plans? The Living Bible says in these same scriptures in Matthew 6:31-34: "So don’t worry at all about having enough food and clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take pride in all these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them. And He will gladly give them to you if you give Him first place in your life. So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time."
See? Just live daily in His Presence and daily in His plans and purposes for your life! Living one day at a time does not mean to say: "I am alive today and I don’t care about tomorrow." No! It means that our walk with God is a daily walk. Why worrying about what comes tomorrow if everyday, we get up with His mission on our mind? When we do His will daily, it will become our life and passion. We will give Him and His purposes first place in our lives. Then, being His servants, the Lord will gladly give us all we need. Yet, even when He does, because we will be consumed by His heart’s desires, we will not take pride in our possessions and blessings, neither will we be concerned about them in the wrong way, but we will be using them for serving the Lord and His people. That will show the difference between us and the heathen. Why be like the heathen?

Bless others by using of the powers of Christ in your life.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." JOHN 14:12 (KJV)
P OWER OF JESUS within You-1. God is not a man that He should lie; nor is Christ Jesus (Numbers 23:19). If Jesus, our Christ said that we would do the things which He did and more, then we should be walking in that path of accomplishment of His Holy Word fulfilled in our lives and in the lives we are to touch. We are made in the image of God and His Son, Christ Jesus (Genesis 1:26). I am not saying we are God or gods; no not at all. We are made in the image of God. As His children (John 1:12), we are innately bestowed with His characteristics, His attributes. God sent Jesus to show us how to walk in His image; how to act, how to speak, how to live, what to do, and what not to do. Here are a few of the miraculous abilities we are to develop:Spiritual Power and Authority Resistance of evil – Jesus has bestowed upon us, the ability to resist evil, temptation, evil machinations, the powers of darkness, and the lust of the flesh. "Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7 (NKJ) Submit your thoughts and your actions to God’s Will by following the Word. The power of praise overcomes temptation. Eternal Life - One asked Jesus how to "inherit eternal life?" "Then Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." Mark 10:21 (Mark 10:17-21; Luke 18:18-22). "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 (NKJ) These are just a few of the powers which God has so graciously allowed upon us to utilize, so we may serve one another in our service to God and His Holy Family, that God may be glorified.

"Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man." PROVERBS 3:3-4 (NKJ)
Have understanding. You may not understand when someone has a head full of hair that is or looks unkept and uncombed. You may look on with disdain and not understand what it is like to have knotty hair that a comb cannot go through. Or have a scalp which is so tender that the most minimum pull on a shaft of hair causes enough pain to produce a swell in the wells of the eyes.
You may not understand what you read, and some do not understand what you write. You may not accept what you read, what others write, or understand what God has placed before you, but you know that God has sent someone, the Holy Spirit, to "teach you all things" (John 14:26).
You may not understand when someone passes gas or breaks wind in your presence. You may think they are uncouth, have no class, or have no home training as you view them with contempt. It is difficult to imagine or understand what pain grips someone who has gastro-intestinal issues, are lactose intolerant, or bends over in painful agony being socially acceptable.
One may not understand why someone’s mind or life can be crippled into no action, staring at the ceiling hours on end, into self-pity, depression, anxiety, or suicide when a girlfriend or boyfriend breaks their heart into a thousand pieces and crushes it into dust under their feet. You may not understand the love, the trust, the lust, or the emotion which one experiences when they open up emotionally, becoming vulnerable to someone to whom they trust with their heart, with their life, and with their souls.
You may not understand the pain a mother lives with as she grieves for a lost child who was the hope for the world. A grieving mother who is willing to go to the grave to take her son’s or daughter’s place is easy to say you can imagine, but would you give your life so someone else could live? Can you imagine that? Would you go to hell and back for your husband or wife?
Some people do not care to understand your issues, they want your issues resolved. They want life as they want it; they want your life like they like it. Some people do not choose to understand your issues, they want you back like you were before, back to normal, or they may discard you.
God understands our weaknesses, our pain, our losses, our thoughts, our behavior, our ignorance, our sadness, our emotions, our grief, and all that we could ever imagine to experience which causes us hurt. God understands what you are going through, what you went through, and what could ever possibly happen to you and your family to glorify Him. God understands you, loves you, always has a place in His heart for you, and will never leave you.
GOD UNDERSTANDS

First, the Lord is concerned about the man, then about the man’s ministry.
"And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:" GENESIS 14:22-23 (KJV)
T he Lord Himself is the One that blesses us with every spiritual, material, and financial blessing. But, we must be bigger than the blessing, in order to be able to take it and not be corrupted by it. Many people pray for promotion and blessings and the Lord withholds them at the time being. That’s the Lord’s mercy and grace. He knows best what we can receive with grace and what we still can’t.
Yes, the Lord wants us to be blessed, but in every blessing there’s a higher purpose. The blessing is not just for the sake of us having that particular blessing. We are the Lord’s servants, and His is everything we are and own. We take from His and give back to Him in return. The Lord has never up until now blessed somebody with the following conditions: "Here’s this three story house for you. I want to bless you. Now go, find yourself hired servants for everything and you lie down in bed and watch TV all day long."
You’ll say: "Of course we know that!" But you’d be surprised how many people dream exactly about that. Hey, we are sent with a mission on this Earth, we are ambassadors of the Lord’s Kingdom, and whatever we have, do or say, it is for the purpose of glorifying our Master.
Abraham was bigger than the blessings the Lord bestowed upon him, and that’s exactly why the Lord chose him – because He knew that Abraham would be well able to hold the blessing and use it for spreading the Lord’s name everywhere.
BIGGER THAN YOUR BLESSING

Living the Bible daily is the key to activating the Powers of Christ in us.
"I assure you, most slomenly I tell you, if any one steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father." JOHN 14:12 (AMP) P OWER OF JESUS within you - 2. This series is not "five percenters" ideology; it is truth found in the Bible. We are not gods. Yahweh, the Most High and Christ Jesus are in that category. We are the children of God (Luke 20:36; Romans 8:16) and brothers and sisters to Jesus (Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35). The world is in an awful mess. We cannot keep believing and living like we do. We have to ask for the Truth, believe in the Truth, give the Truth to others, and receive the Truth to prepare for this end-time battle. As spiritual warriors, we have to visualize "doing greater works" so we can walk in the victory given to us by Jesus, the Christ, over the enemies of God.Asking Believing Giving ACTIVATE CHRIST IN YOU

Break your curse by being obedient. Obedient to God’s Word in your life.
"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them." GALATIANS 3:10 (KJV)
T he Law Brings Curse. It’s about time as Christians today we understand that we are responsible for what is happening in our nations, in our families, communities, and in our lives today. The reason is just very simple, "Disobedience." By being disobedient to the word of God we are responsible for the curses upon our lives. It all started with our forefather Adam. He and Eve, in the book of Genesis 3:6-7, broke the law and they were cursed by God. And today that curse has been passed on to us because we are their descendants. The nation can also be cursed because of disobedience by past leaders. But I want you to know that curses can be broken, because of God broke the curse on Adam by sending Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Sometimes we, ourselves are responsible for the curse on our nations, not the past leaders alone. In the case of my nation, we are cursed of our sinful deeds; some of our men sleep with one another, likewise the girls are doing the same. In the church, you see fornication is at the highest; choir members are sleeping with pastors in the church, the deacons the same, the congregation is no exception to what is happening. As for the pastors and deacons being at the alter, isn’t that a curse? Sunday morning they are singing, the pastor in the pupil to preach and deacons serving communion – what a shame (a curse) to our churches that see these things and can’t speak out.
I’ll tell you a story about myself. Sometimes we don’t understand when changes are about to take place in our lives because we too give attention, weight, power, and focus to worldly things. God started preparing me years back for His calling, but I didn’t understand and was knowing that I was bringing curse upon myself. But I didn’t want to stop and listen – that fornication is wrong in the sight of God. So he decided to act. It came at a time that for each time I had sex Saturday (that was my constant habit of late), but this time around I would experience this strong headache for almost four to five days like I’m going mad. So after sometime the thought came to me that I should stop. Immediately I stopped. The curse was broken. The headache stopped immediately. The curse of fornication was broken.
You can break that curse. Whatsoever you are doing, God is able to deliver you right now. As you are going through this devotion, speak those things to God and He will step into your life right now. God bless you for taking that bold step. The Angels are happy for you, that the curse is broken, and you need to live up to the task by giving God control of your life.
BREAK THE CURSE

EVERYTHING in our life comes because of God’s favor to us.
"Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married." ISAIAH 62:4 (KJV)
T he Lord has not forsaken us. He has not forgotten us. He has not left us. Of course we know that on theory, but many times, in our prayers and seeking the Lord, as well as in our words and actions we show exactly that kind of belief – as if the Lord is far away from us.
No! He is giving us a new name. Whenever the Lord gives a new name to somebody, watch out, an incredible change and blessing comes that person’s way. The Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham and see what happened. Here the Lord is about to change our name too. So, be careful.
Your name is not John, or Mary, or Steve anymore. Your new name is HEPHZIBAH, which means: "My Delight is in him / her", "My favor is in and upon him / her". That’s your new name from this day forward. Thou shalt be called like this. This means a change of identity. Then, your land (speaking about territory, e.g. sphere of influence, vision, calling, mandate, etc., shall not be called Desolate and unfruitful, but Beulah, which means: "be a master, have dominion." In other words, YOUR territory will prosper for God’s glory and His rule and dominion will be seen in it. In other words, wherever you go, you will have the favor of God upon your life and your vision, calling, mandate and purposes given by the Lord will prosper and that will establish His Kingly dominion in that territory.
FAVOR

Everything you need to perfect God’s Will in your life is within you.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." ROMANS 8:1 (NKJ)
I n GOD. Many Christians go to church because it is the right thing to do, because they were taught to go to church on Sunday, it is a habit, it makes them feel better, or it strengthens their relationship with God. Many people feel close to God, close to Christ Jesus when they go to church. They find Jesus, God, and the Holy Ghost in church. When they go to church they are expecting to have an encounter with God. It is great to develop and have a healthy relationship with God and His Son Jesus.
Do meet God in the church, but remember to take Him or Jesus with you when you leave the church. Take Jesus with you home. Take Jesus with you to work. Take Jesus with you on holiday. Know that when you go to the club, Jesus is walking in with you. When you go to the liquor store, Jesus is walking in with you. Wherever you go and whenever you go there, the Holy Spirit will be going with you or Jesus will be going with you, or some member of the Holy Family.
This is called "Living in God." When you die to self, you live "in God." When you accept the Lord Jesus Christ into your life as your personal Savior, you begin to live, "in God." When you give your life to Christ, to the service of God, you are living "in God," in the Spirit of God. It envelops your life, your being, your all. "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2 (NKJ) You pay your tithes, not because the pastor says to pay them, but because it is the right thing to do. You know that God is taking care of you like you are His son or daughter, and you expect Him to be there for you, because you are living "in Him." "But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8:9 (NKJ)
Lucifer has tried to prostitute this concept of being "in God," by placing it on American money: "In GOD We Trust." Trust not money, but trust in God. Believe, know, and live like King David, who said: "…The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; the God of my strength, in Him I will trust. My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; my Savior, You save me from violence." 2 Samuel 22:2-3 (NKJ) Trust in God. Trust God’s Spirit is in you. Trust as a vessel of God, He will fill you with that which is necessary to fulfill His Kingdom in you life. Everything you need to perfect God’s Will in your life is within you. Live a life "in God" and "in Christ" by allowing "self" to leave. "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you , He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." Romans 8:11 (NKJ)
YOU IN GOD IN YOU

Love casts out fear and love is giving our lives for others.
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." 1 JOHN 4:18 (KJV)
F ear has gripped most Christians in almost every area of our lives. We may fear our bosses at work and in this way not be able to fulfill our potential and be the witness the Lord wants us to be. Or worse, we may have hidden agendas for self-promotion and talk against them, thus undermining their authority. We may fear our teachers in school, our pastors in church (talk about hidden agendas and self-promotion desires in this area), and even our spouses at home. You know why we fear them? Because we have not learned to love them. Love casts out all fear!
What is love? Love is to live our lives for others and not for ourselves. Jesus said: "I came not to do My will, but the will of the One Who sent me". (John 6:38) We don’t live for ourselves. We live to do God’s will and to love others. (Romans 12:1)
When they sin against us, we are not only to forgive them, but also to bear their spiritual "infirmities" because we don’t live for ourselves, but for them. "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." (Romans 15:1) Well, if you think you are strong, prove it! Don’t say: "They are this and that!" "They are this way or that way!" Say: "I don’t live for myself, but for them" instead. If Jesus gave His life for us while we were still sinners, we can also stop living our lives for ourselves and start committing to our spouses, committing to our children, to our pastors and leaders, to our teachers and to our bosses, and to our communities and God’s Kingdom. Let us give our lives so they can succeed. What Godly lives we will have lived then!
