Learn To Be Satisfied

Daily Devotion, Daily Devotional, , , , , , , , ,

Philippians 4 image

In today’s day and age, there’s this mindset that people want it all and they want it now and believe they deserve it. That attitude flies in the face of GOD’s word. GOD is not selfish and self-centered. He doesn’t teach us to be selfish.

In the Word, Paul teaches us that we don’t need everything and we don’t need it now, to be satisfied in life. GOD will provide when something is really needed. We can become so busy thinking only about ourselves that we forget about GOD. If we want to be blessed by GOD we need to point to HIM in all things. All we have to do is read HIS word to find His will for our lives.

We find, also, in GOD’s word that he commands us to love HIM and only HIM, that we’re not to have any other gods. When we take our eyes off of GOD and start fretting about what we need and want, we make those things our god.

What are you focusing on that could become your god? We all do it. It’s our human nature. Satan would love nothing more than to catch you in his traps and keep you in bondage. He’s the ultimate deceiver. HE can make himself look like GOD in his word trickery and ensnare you. Look what he did to Eve in the garden.

Repent and turn to GOD and trust HIM for all your needs.

How can I pray for you? Leave me a message below:

Dear Father GOD, I lift up the readers of this blog. I pray that they seek YOU, find YOU, and surrender fully to YOU. I praise, honor, glorify, adore, and love YOU, GOD. I lift up all the sick; physically, mentally, and spiritually. I trust YOU, GOD, to meet all their needs and that they know and trust YOU in their lives; as well as myself. I can get sidetracked, GOD. I pray that my gaze is fixed on YOU and that I get vertically aligned and stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to YOU in heaven. I pray this for all the readers here too. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.

Healing in Peace

Matthew 5_8-9 image

Our struggles come because we are selfish. Yahweh desires to cure us, His children, of our greed and selfishness. And Yahweh says that as His children we are not to be part of the problem but part of the solution.

It is a smart one who steps in and says, “I’m sorry.” It might seem that there is always one who’s the first to say it, but Jesus noted that true peacemakers are prepared to swallow pride to heal the wounds.

Let’s face it, there are times when we want what we want when we want it, our way.

Human nature is selfish. But, with the Holy Spirit’s help, we can overcome it. We can have peace. We can be healed. We can be healed through peace.

How are you doing? Share your story of peace and healing. If you’re seeking to be healed and haven’t found it yet, and need prayer; contact me here, for prayer, now.

Healing River

Ezekiel 47_1-2_8-9 image

 

These waters represent the gospel of Christ, that went forward from Jerusalem, and dispersed into the countries around; also the gifts and powers of the Holy Spirit that came along with it, by the moral excellence that is spread far, and imparted joyous effects. Christ is the Temple, and He is the Door; from Him, the living waters flow, out of His punctured side. They are expanding waters. Watch the growth of the gospel in the world, and the transformation of the work of grace in the heart; tend to the movements of the blessed Spirit under Divine direction.

If we search into the things of Yahweh, we find some things plain and easy to be realized. It is wisdom, to begin with, one that is very easy ere we continue to such that is vague and hard to be understood. The promises of the holy word, and the rights of believers, as scattered in foreign lands in their souls by the arousing Spirit, overflow where the gospel is preached; they feed and gladden the souls of men; they never dim or shrink, nor are consumed. Even the leaves of the plants work as remedies to the soul: the warnings and admonitions of the word, though less comfortable than Divine compassions, lead to healing the diseases of the soul. All who believe in Christ, and are united to him by his sanctifying Spirit, will share the privileges of Israelites. There is room in the church, and in heaven, for all who seek the blessings of that new covenant of which Christ is Mediator.

All who believe in Christ, and are joined to Him by His Holy Spirit, will share the rights of Israelites. There is room in the church, and in heaven, for all who search for the blessings of that new covenant relating to that, Christ is Mediator.

Note: If we want to be healed we need to search for and follow after Christ. We must allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us, like the healing waters. Such amazingness comes from it. Don’t you want to experience His awesomeness?

Listen to this music video, let The Holy Spirit flow through you and wash over you, renewing and transforming you.

Let’s walk together. Do you need healing? How can I pray for you? Contact me here for prayer.

Job Comforted || Part 3

Daily Devotional, , , , , ,

Job 42:11 imageJob had victory!

His family and friends came to eat with him and comfort him.

Having a community is vital in healing and recovery.

We need like-minded people to surround us. We need to be lifted up in support of our healing. We need the community to pray for our recovery and healing.

In that, we, in turn, find victory, healing, and recovery also.

Are you seeking forgiveness, recovery, healing, and victory?

Follow the list of tips in part 2. Find a tribe/community to lift you up. Comment here and let us know how Yahweh is working in your life in this area.

Me? Yes, I am also in this pickle. We all need a tribe. That’s one of the major purposes of this ministry. The LORD has put this upon my heart. Please pray that I obey His calling and follow Him in this.

Job Prayed || Part 2

Daily Devotional, , , , ,

Job 42:10 imageYahweh isn’t very happy with Job’s friends for not saying what is right about Him. They are instructed to go to Job and offer a burnt offering for themselves, and that Job would pray for them. Yahweh will then spare the friends from punishment for their foolishness. So, they did as they were instructed to. Job prayed and Yahweh listened. Job was rewarded with success again. In fact, Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had owned before. Read about it below.

Job 42
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job did. 8 Now take seven bulls and seven male sheep, and go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will listen to his prayer. Then I will not punish you for being foolish. You have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job did.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the Lord said, and the Lord listened to Job’s prayer. 10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord gave him success again. The Lord gave Job twice as much as he had owned before.

That’s not how we are today, is it? We have to be dragged, kicking, and screaming the whole way.

Why is it we’re discontent and ill (spiritually, mentally, physically)?

What was it that gave Job forgiveness, and healing?

Here’s what Job did:

  1. He listened to Yahweh.
  2. He obeyed Yahweh.
  3. He prayed over his friends.

Are you seeking healing and forgiveness? Refer to the list of what Job did. Put those things into action. Watch the blessings come spilling in; like Job.

“As we seek the Lord for healing, let us also ask Him to reveal any areas in our lives that require repentance and forgiveness.” – Jack Hayford

Job Answered || Part 1

Daily Devotional, , , , ,

Job 42:1 imageThis is part of a multipart series. After the series is finished I’ll come back here and create an index for each part.

This series is going to focus on finding healing in repentance and prayer.

For part one we’ll focus on Job answering Yahweh.

Heres Job’s answer to Yahweh in verses 2-6

2 “I know that you (Yahweh) can do all things and that no plan of yours can be ruined. 3 You (Yahweh) asked, ‘Who is this that made my purpose unclear by saying things that are not true?’ Surely I (Job) spoke of things I did not understand; I talked of things too wonderful for me to know. 4 You (Yahweh) said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will ask you questions, and you must answer me.’ 5 My (Job’s) ears had heard of you before, but now my eyes have seen you. 6 So now I hate myself; I will change my heart and life. I will sit in the dust and ashes.”

Job realized his utter brokenness. He realized that he was being selfish. He turned the selfishness into hate to change his heart and life by sitting in the dust and ashes. How much lower can one get?

When Yahweh showed Himself to Job, it caused Job to reflect on his life and how he’d been living. It caused him to realize the gravity of the situation and how utterly broken he was.

We need to look in the mirror, while Yahweh stands right by us, and realize our utter brokenness and how much we need Yahweh.

How do you see yourself? Are you utterly broken? Have you been living selfishly?

Take stock of your life. Have a conversation with Yahweh. Surrender it all to Him.

Me: I’m being humbled daily at my utter selfishness about my living situation. I’ve been set straight and in no uncertain terms am I to complain about it anymore. Yahweh is in control and is handling things. Thank You Yahweh!
