Scripture Of The Day - Called To Accomplish Significant Works


Jeremiah 20:9 - "...But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not"

Like Jeremiah and Paul, you have been called before time to accomplish significant works for the Kingdom of God. The patriarchs of old had the same fears that we all have, but they pressed through it and changed the world.

God needs you to believe for the inheritance He has prepared for you. Your part is key in His unfolding plan to bring His Kingdom to Earth; it is not planned only to bless you. Other people are waiting for their treasures that He has deposited in you. They are waiting for the anointing on your life to break out!

You are not meant to be like anyone else! God has given you a unique anointing special to you. You have your own anointing and work (God's purpose for your life) that is intended to give you great joy! Grab ahold of life and make it conform to the promises of God -- we are now in the fullness of time for the purposes of God to come forth.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Reaping A Harvest If We Don't Give Up


Galatians 6:9 - "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Believers get confused and sometimes disillusioned because Things in the spirit realm are often not predictable. They ask: How long do I need to pray to get a breakthrough? When will I step into greater increase and blessing? When will there be a shift in my family for the better? Where is my healing miracle?

The simple and unpopular answer is it's a test of faith. Hebrews 11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to please God..."

Are you digging a well now, believing to step into overflow? Keep digging. See the water coming soon with the eyes of faith.

Do you have family struggles? Envision growth.

Do you have financial challenges? Work hard, sow faithfully and believe big.

Do you have physical ailments? Get in the Word and read and meditate on every Scripture about healing.

Get around faith-filled friends and believe together.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Staying Fresh In The Lord


John 15:5 - "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

When we stay fresh in the Spirit of the Lord, we also will grow in our relationship with the Lord. The place of abiding is the place of union we find in John 15:5. The scripture says we will bear fruit for His glory out of the substance of the supply of His boundless anointing.

As we move from our current level to a new level of ability in the Lord, we partake of an increase in the flow of the anointing of the Holy Spirit on our life. In this flow, we will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in new strength, inspiration, joy, and confidence in the Lord. We hunger for fresh bread from the Word every day.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Believing In Your Christ Calling


Genesis 39:20,21 - "Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him;"

No twist or turn—not even abuse, slavery, slander or imprisonment—could hold back the fulfillment of God's destiny for Joseph's life. What people meant for evil, God used for good.

God has not forgotten you. Even when the opposite of your destiny seems to be happening, He is faithful. His promise to you holds power, and He will use every detour and delay to fulfill His promise and bring Himself glory.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Partaking With Spiritual Understanding


1 Corinthians 11:28-30, "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep."

Communion is the "mystical form" of the Tree of Life, hidden from the spiritually blind. Jesus said that if we partake unworthily (without understanding that He Himself is the Tree of Life), we are merely partaking of the process of death, receiving bread and the fruit of the vine – another good meal and we are that much closer to death.

But, if we partake with spiritual understanding, knowing what we are doing, we will no longer be weak, sickly, and dying prematurely. Rather, as we rightly partake of communion, we are receiving "quickening life-giving Spirit," and we will be living.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Consider Your Inheritance


Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them."

Understand and meditate on what you are in Christ. Never think of your lack; think of the vast inheritance that is yours, for you know that He has given you the ability to enjoy all that belongs to you.

"Giving thanks unto the Father, who has given us the ability to enjoy our share of the inheritance of the saints in light" - Colossians 1:12. You have His fulness which may be undeveloped in you.

You may never have taken advantage of the riches of the glory of your inheritance in Christ. You were created in Christ. There is no limit to your walk and to your ability.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Stepping Further Into Your Christ Calling


1 Corinthians 2:9 - "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.'"

He is lifting you up higher to see the new things that He has prepared and planned that are coming through for you and are now just ahead. The things you did not expect, the things you didn't see coming and the things you didn't know He could do, He is going to do.

It is time to step further into your Christ calling. The places and people that the Lord has prepared for you to align and connect with will be so unexpected and out of left field. Many will be left wondering how you got there and how this happened.

There will be nothing that you can do in your own strength or ability, but it will be in His, because of what He can do for you and through you!
 
Scripture Of The Day - Developing A New Nature Spiritual Consciousness


Ephesians 4:24 - "and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

Avoid a negative and introverted attitude caused by an overemphasis on inner healing. Instead, focus on your new nature in Christ. A spiritual consciousness of your new nature will always give you a truer, more real and trustworthy evaluation than that provided by your own weaknesses, fears, anger, memories, etc.—not to mention the accuser of the brethren!

"...It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me..." - Galatians 2:20.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Following Him Into The Unknown



Genesis 12:1 - "The LORD had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you."

God is calling us to boldly follow Him into the unknown. As we do, we will be brought into a whole new place! The very things that many Believers have been crying out and contending for (even for years at a time) are beginning to take shape.

Though transition can feel shaky, uncomfortable, and even messy at times, the Lord is calling us to embrace this new path and bravely journey forward with Him. The Lord is calling His Bride to trust Him and follow His lead. As we bravely give the Lord our 'yes' and follow where He leads us—journeying with Him on this new and unfamiliar path—we are plowing up new ground.

You have come too far now to quit. Refuse to get weary in well-doing, and know that there are great and exciting things just ahead. God is bringing you into a whole new place, and others will be awestruck by where He takes you.
 
The Royal Priesthood of Melchizedek.......and how Christian believers become as Him............

Hebrews 7:1 For this the Malkiy-Tsedeq/melcisedek <3198>, King of Salem, Priest of the GOD of the most-high, the together-joining Abraham turning-back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him. [Genesis 14:18]
12 For being changed/translated the Priesthood, out of necessity also, of Law a change is become
======================
Melchizedek Connection, Royal Priesthood

One of the most intriguing descriptions of the unique character of the High Priesthood of Jesus is found in Heb. 7:17 wherein it is stated, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." This one grand statement shows that Jesus is not like any of the other priests who the people of Israel knew so much about. The entire seventh chapter of Hebrews is about THE MELCHIZEDEK CONNECTION, that is, it is about the way Jesus Christ, and thus, His body, the Royal Priesthood, is related to a strange man named Melchizedek. And the connection between Jesus Christ and Melchizedek is worth exploring. Let's take a look at the Melchizedek Connection.........................

Scripture Of The Day - Rivers Of Living Water


1John 2:27 “But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you..."

We want a pure river flowing from our hearts. John, the revelator, spoke of a pure river, pure as crystal (Revelation 22:1). He spoke of how the river was flowing out of the throne and out of the Lamb.

The anointing flows from the heart of man, the anointing of God flows from you like a river. Jesus even told us that rivers of living water would flow from our innermost being (John 7:38). This is why it is so important that we are careful about what we see, or hear, or meditate on.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Trapped In The Status Quo


Isaiah 60:1 - "Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, and the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you."

Revelation is the seed that impregnates you with expectation. The two always go hand in hand in the Kingdom of God.

The spirit of religion hates an expectant heart. It does not want you to go to another level in God. Religion wants to trap Believers in the status quo of dead Christianity, but Jesus is the resurrection and life.

Let your hope be resurrected today. This coming season, prepare for the manifestation of your expectation!
 
Scripture Of The Day - Accessing Internal Springs Of Water


Hosea 2:16 - "'It will come about in that day,' declares the Lord, 'that you will call Me Ishi....'"

Ishi, in Hebrew, is a name which means, "my husband" and expresses the intimacy of a close relationship. You might be in a desert, but the desert doesn't have to be in you. Jesus said there are springs of water in you, "springing up into everlasting life."

The springs begin to well up, and praise and adoration flows out of you. Before you know it, the springs are watering everything around you. You see things differently, you feel differently about people in ways you didn't notice before.

When Jesus shows up in the wilderness, the wilderness disappears. The desert starts growing flowers. Whoever heard of roses in the desert? "...And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom like as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing..." (Isaiah 35:1-2). This happens when the water of life flows out of you, and it flows as you respond to Him.

The Beloved is here, touching the very springs of life in you. "My Beloved is mine and I am His" (Song of Solomon 2:16). There's a sweet aroma now in the desert, there are flowers of praise, and blossoms of thanksgiving. It's a beautiful place.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Walking In Your New Life In Christ

2 Corinthians 3:18 - "And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

Steady yourself and stand firm, open your arms, and surrender to God's purpose for your life. Ready yourself to receive the weight of God's glory. No more will you be weeping and wailing over what has been lost. You will barely cast a glance at your own life as you rise up to walk in the new life of Christ in you.

As you see a need, you will exercise great faith in the scriptures that manifest God's power. With boldness, you will implement your authority to meet the need by drawing on the limitless heavenly resources that are coming into your hands at the exact moment of need.

Angels will be sent forth on assignment to battle any dark force that tries to stand in the way of the fulfillment of your divine calling in Christ.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Key To Breakthrough


2 Samuel 5:19,20 - "And David inquired of the LORD, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines?... And he said, 'The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a breaking flood.'"

The key to breakthrough is to inquire of the Lord. David did not go forward in his own strength but he waited upon the Lord for wisdom and for clarity.

We need to be in alignment with His Spirit. The more the Lord entrusts to us, the more we must learn to wait upon Him. Too many Believers have fallen into a worldly type of wisdom rather than the spirit of wisdom from Heaven.

Have we been led by Him or have we been led by our needs? Have we been led by His Spirit or have we been led by our schedules, our bank accounts and our systems of yesterday?

We must tap into the new and let go of the old. We must surrender ourselves to His presence and not strive to perform through self-will.
 
I asking The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to bless all the people in this world with thy TRUTH. I ask you in the name of Jesus Christ of NAZARETH.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Stepping Out To Walk On The Water


Exodus 33:15, Moses says, "Then he said to Him, 'If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here."

God has fresh, eternal waters for us to drink from every moment. These waters of the life of His Spirit are needed and cannot be neglected, for they are what sustains us in the more difficult times. To be without His presence is to be on your own – that is definitely not a desire or an option.

To embrace the "new" for your life you have to be willing to step into a place that you've never been before. You cannot succumb to fear of the unknown, make excuses for not stepping out to walk on the water, or hide in your cave of reclusion. We are constantly being challenged to go further and do something different that is outside of our experience.

When you live out God's purpose for your life you experience the exceptional life that Jesus lived, accompanied by the Father's joy over you.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Staying Fresh In The Spirit


John 15:5 - "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

When we stay fresh in the Spirit of the Lord, we also will grow in our relationship with the Lord. He empowers us to press through all obstacles, limitations, and fears in order to advance with perseverance in progressive breakthroughs and to take new levels in God's purpose for our life.

You can draw on and see an increase in His anointing in your life daily. In this flow, you will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in new strength, inspiration, joy, and confidence in the Lord. The scripture says we will be fruitful for His glory out of the substance of the supply of His boundless anointing.

In His presence, the Word comes alive, and mysteries are revealed as the Word becomes like fire in our bones. Within us arises a holy boldness to decree the Word of God in order to shift the unseen realm and break down every barrier of the enemy with the power of the Word.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Birthing His Purpose


Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

This season is going to be a season for your mouth to declare what you have seen and heard in the spirit. Make sure that your words line up to His Word! You cannot waste any more time coming into agreement with the enemy, speaking out what you see in the natural.

Your circumstances may be mocking your promise right now but get ready for God to shift gears and bring acceleration to what He has spoken. Remember, your mouth must come into alignment with God's promises. It is the canal that God is using to birth His purpose.

Don't believe the lies of the enemy. God is calling you to shift your focus and start expecting Him to move for you.
 
Scripture Of The Day - Positioning Myself For Breakthrough


Isaiah 43:18,19 - "Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

In order to expect the unexpected according to Isaiah 43:18-19 you must forget the "old way" and you must have "new eyes to see."

The Lord may be birthing your breakthrough in a "new way" just as, in the same way, He told the children of Israel to leave space between the ark of the covenant and themselves when they were crossing over, because they had "never gone this way before" (see Joshua 3:4).

We must understand that in order to inherit and go into the land to possess it, this can not be done with old strategies. It must be done with new ones. And we must have fresh eyes to recognize and perceive the new thing, otherwise, we will stay and perish in the old.
