Scripture of The Day - TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

Genesis 3:1 - "Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he (Satan) said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from every tree of the garden'"?

OBSERVATION

It is my responsibility to see that my thinking, believing and speaking are right. If I don't take that responsibility, the devil is going to think my thoughts for me. He'll actually have me believing what he wants me to believe, and he'll eventually have me confessing what he wants me to confess; framing my world with the wrong words and letting him have dominion over me.

Revelation 12:17 - "So then the dragon was furious (enraged) at the woman, and he went away to wage war on the remainder of her descendants - on those who obey God's commandments and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Scripture of the Day - SERVICE WITH PURPOSE AFFIRMS IDENTITY

Luke 1:26,28 - And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail thou art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

When God chose To bring the Messiah through the virgin Mary, He sent Gabriel the angel to bring the message. When the apostle Paul was about to suffer shipwreck, and angel of the Lord told him what would happen. On numerous occasions throughout scripture angels did what God could have done easily Himself.

But why didn't God do those things Himself?

For the same reason He doesn't preach the gospel: He has chosen to let His creation enjoy the privilege of service in His kingdom. Service with purpose affirms identity.
A Godly self-esteem is derived from doing "those things that please Him". And true service is an overflow of worship. We always become like the one we worship. How could He want anything more for us than that?

Scripture of The Day - CONFESSION UNTO FAITH

Romans 10:9 - "If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Confession without any faith in the heart is powerless; it's useless.

What if I don't believe in my heart? Should I still confess the Word of God?

Yes, because with my lips, I can make confessions unto faith. In other words, as I say God's word over and over again, faith can be built in my heart where before there wasn't any faith.

I can speak God's Word so much that it will eventually affect my heart, and I will begin believing it.

Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing, by the Word of God.

Scripture of The Day - RELEASING LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:4,5 - "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful."

When I release love into a situation, I have released God into it -- Jesus becomes responsible for it's success.

AFFIRMATION:

I release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought until it totally consumes my life. It will strengthen me and cast out every fear that has robbed me of God's greater blessings. It will drive the devil out of my affairs and set me free from every torment of darkness.

Scripture 0f The Day - INSENSITIVITY TO SPIRITUAL THINGS

Hebrews 5:11 - Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your (spiritual) hearing and sluggish (even slothful in achieving spiritual insight).

They were not in need of hearing aids; rather their inward man had digressed to become insensitive to spiritual things.
The Holy Spirit does not communicate to our head but to our spirit. You can be a believer for years and not develop your spirit.

Scripture tells us that John the Baptist "Grew and became strong in Spirit". Regarding spiritual development, Paul told Timothy to give himself entirely to it "that your progress may be evident to all."

Luke 1:80 - And the little boy grew and became strong in spirit.

Scripture of The Day - STRONGHOLDS

2 Corinthians 10:4 - "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to tear down strongholds."

Wherever a stronghold exists, it is a deomonically induced pattern of thinking. Specifically it is a "House made of thoughts" which has become a dwelling place for satanic activity.
The strongholds upon which demons rely consists of our own thoughts, attitudes, and opinions which are in agreement with evil.
The strongholds that affect us most are those which are so hidden in our thinking patterns that we do not recognize them or identify them as evil.

Scripture of The Day - SNARED, TRAPPED, AND CAUGHT

Matthew 12:37 - "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

AFFIRMATIONS:

Today!...I make up my mind that I'm going to speak life to my situations and circumstances. I am going to the word of God to find out what He has to say about me and my situation, and I'm going to say what He says.

Today!...I curse the wrong words I've spoken over my life and begin to speak the words of life I'm supposed to speak.

Proverbs 6:2 - "You are snared (trapped) with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth."

Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."

Scripture of The Day - CARNAL THOUGHT SYSTEMS

2 Corinthians 10:4 - The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons, but God's powerful weapons with which to destroy strongholds.

We deal with the devil by dealing with the carnal thought systems, the strongholds, that protect the enemy. The pulling down of strongholds begins with repentance.

The energies we expend in keeping our sins secret are the actural "Materials" of which a stronghold is made. The demon you are fighting is using your thoughts to protect his access to your life.

Scripture Of The Day - STAYING FRESH IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD

Philippians 4:13 says," I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self sufficient in Christ sufficiency."

As we advance forward in the glory in this season, we have to stay fresh in His strength. We can draw on and see increase in His might in our lives on a daily basis. In this flow, we will be empowered by the Holy Spirit (see Eph. 3:16) and live in fresh strength, inspiration, joy, and confidence in the Lord.

We will be empowered by the Lord in supernatural strength in the inner person in order to believe the impossible is possible and to press through all obstacles. As we advance in our New Season we are blazing new trails in divine destiny for our lives that will impact our lives, our families, and people around us.

We must stay fresh in His strength and not become weary, giving into discouragement and disappointment. We must stay fresh in Him and sensitive to the Spirit of the Lord as He leads us into a new era of breakthrough that has the potential of touching the lives of others.

Scripture of The Day - STEPPING INTO RESURRECTION LIFE

Luke 24:1-3 - "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus."

Observation:

TRULY, ITS TIME FOR ME TO STOP LOOKING FOR THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD. IT'S TIME FOR ME TO STOP WANDERING AROUND IN THE CEMETERY OF SIN, SICKNESS, AND FAILURE AND TO STEP INTO RESURRECTION LIFE!

AS A RESURRECTED CREATURE, I AM NO ACCIDENT GOING SOMEWHERE TO HAPPEN. MY LIFE ISN'T JUST A LOOSE WEB OF EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. GOD HAS SPECIFIC PLANS FOR ME.
