Our Daily Walk with Christ Devotional – March 18, 2024
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” —Matthew 5:3
By possessing a spirit of humility and compassion, Christ presented a marked difference between Himself and the religious leaders of His time who felt they were the source of knowledge and rich in spiritual treasure. “The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector’ ” (Luke 18:11).
“As it is written: ‘There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.’ ” —Romans 3:10-12
Although most Christians would never utter the Pharisee’s arrogant words, we suffer from the silent sin of self-exaltation. We measure ourselves using earthly standards—we are knowledgeable, and do good works, but we compare ourselves to others by measuring the various sins on a scale. Like the Pharisees, we console ourselves by thinking, “At least, I am not committing those great and terrible sins.”
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” —Proverbs 14:12
God desires for us to understand that we are in a state of continuous spiritual poverty because our hearts are naturally carnal. We may deny the reality of our plight, however, our greatest battle comes from within—we inherited desperately wicked hearts [Jeremiah 17:9]. Self-perception will always be in opposition to how God sees us with His Holy eyes. Truthfully, we can receive abundant blessings and sin against God on the same day.
The Plan for Overcoming Our Enemy Within
“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” —Romans 7:15, NIV
To receive victory, our first action is to acknowledge and accept our struggle with faithfully trusting and obeying God. The human effort of self-control along with asking the Holy Spirit for spiritual strength gives us the ability to rebuke and stand down the desires of our hearts. Still, our fight is daily. We must choose who will be the master of our lives. Either we will submit to God or we will continue to please ourselves.
Living the Victorious Life!
Jesus demonstrated Spiritual humility to God. What is Spiritual humility? To faithfully follow God requires a loving heart, surrender, and obedience. Serving God eliminates passivity. God has always required human effort in the plan of Redemption. “Not my will, but Your will be done” was Christ’s daily prayer. The spoken words of “God, I love You also require the dutiful action of obedience. We prove our love by acquiescing to God’s Sovereignty through a daily prayer of surrender and we choose to follow His directives.
Love for God requires reinforcement! Much prayer and Bible Study keep us in the presence of God. Dedicated love prevents us from disobeying God. Our mindset is one in which we fully trust God to do what is best for our lives. The heart filled with Spiritual humility is totally reliant upon Christ who is the Lord of our lives.
“The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.” —Isaiah 50:5
Spiritual Humility is the instinctive desire to surrender ourselves to God. Our worship includes a time of meditation whereby we strive to listen to the Voice of God. The Holy Spirit enters our hearts and we respond with deep conviction and obedience. When we truly love God, we acknowledge that obedience is our only acceptable sacrificial gift.
True religion is found in the heart filled with overwhelming love for God which is the foundation for possessing a spirit of humility. We do not think our own thoughts, fulfill our desires by following our inclinations, or determine the steps of our earthly journey. Christ shepherds our Chosen Path and the Holy Spirit reveals the steps of our predestined journey to us through prayer and the Scriptures.
“And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” —Philippians 2:8
The Reality: “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” —2 Timothy 3:1-5
The Invitation: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” —Hebrews 4:16
The Reward: “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” —Revelation 3:21
God, we ask forgiveness for our refusal to surrender and humble ourselves by seeking Your will and casting aside our earthly desires. Lord, we thank You for the sacrificial offering of Your life that we may receive our inheritance of eternal life if we abide in You. We love You, King Jesus, and ask to be filled with the anointing, power, and presence of the Holy Spirit. Lead us in our earthly journey as we prepare for Your soon coming. In Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
Our Daily Walk with Christ Devotional – March 17, 2024
“And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” —1 John 4:10
“We love Him because He first loved us.” —1 John 4:19
For an understanding of the origin of love, we refer to the Scriptures. The Characters of God, the Father, God, Jesus the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit are Love. Only human beings were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. We are the only living beings for which Christ died which is a powerful indicator of His overwhelming love.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” —2 Timothy 1:7
God gifted us with the innate characteristics [present at birth] of power, a sound mind, self-control, free will of choice, and a heart filled with love. Because of the ravages of sin not everyone has a sound mind but all can freely love God and others. Even those who are developmentally disabled can love and respond to love. If we prayed for the wisdom to grasp the magnitude of God’s love and appreciated our gifts, we would readily consecrate our lives to Him.
“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind’ ” —Matthew 22:37
Christ’s Divine Nature is Love—”Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” —John 15:13
Every believer is commanded to love like Christ: “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us” (1 John 4:12). Because we are impacted by our various backgrounds and life experiences, we must learn God’s definition of Love by studying 1 Corinthians chapter 13.
God’s character and Divine nature reveal that He is a Holy and Righteous God. “…because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy…’ ” (1 Peter 1:16), God requires that we strive for righteousness. The Holy Spirit with our cooperation empowers us to accomplish above and beyond our human abilities.
Our steadfast love for God and the commitment to make Jesus our First Love results in the Holy Spirit guiding us every step on our Chosen Path of spiritual transformation. We are never alone in our spiritual journey. Our love for God produces devout faith and obedience which overrule our natural desires and we acquiesce to His Sovereign plans.
Surrender and obedience are the fruits of love that keep us grounded in our relationship with Christ. If we love Christ then our hearts are connected to Him. And from that connection, we receive our Savior’s abundant love which acts as a spiritual catalyst to dedicate ourselves to God. Daily consecration and surrender to God’s will requires courage and perseverance. When we proclaim, “Jesus, I will follow You,” we may lose the support of family and friends who will not understand our spiritual commitment.
What does it mean to commit ourselves to God? The Apostle Paul’s answer is “…to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God…” (Romans 12:1).
The simple answer is that we must stop choosing sin. Is it possible to live a sin-free life? Enoch and Job are two men of God who lived a sinless life. How can we walk with God? Spiritually, we are never alone. God honors our decision when we dedicate ourselves to following Christ. Not only do we receive God’s Divine promises of resolution in our hardships, but we also receive wisdom, strength, and comfort through the Holy Spirit.
Christ the Commander dispatches angels who fight the evil forces of spiritual warfare and assist us in staying on the narrow Path of Righteousness. The righteous are truly loved by God.
As long as we stay spiritually connected to Christ, we are promised the Divine Intervention of the Holy Spirit to live as victors. Through daily worship, we reinforce our love relationship with Christ. God opens the windows of heaven to give us the blessings of spiritual guidance, wisdom, strength, and discernment. Making prayer our first and continuous response keeps us connected to the Source of Life.
The Win-Win Spiritual Strategy: “But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray [in seclusion].” —Luke 16, AMP Bible
In studying the life of Christ, we are given the key to keeping our love alive and remaining loyal to God, much prayer! Twice daily worship is not enough. We cannot run and win this Christian race using spurts of spiritual energy. Stay in God’s presence by whispering short prayers throughout your waking hours.
The Nature of God: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such, there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” —Galatians 5:22-25
To be like Christ, the Holy Spirit with our cooperation transforms our minds, characters, and personalities into the likeness of Christ’s righteousness. The believer’s journey includes praying morning, noon, and night. Much prayer reinforces our love for God, forms an unbreakable bond that allows us to abide in Christ, and invites the Holy Spirit to empower us to live righteously!
“…You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God.” —Psalm 40:17
To receive spiritual strength, use your time wisely. Fight the enemy’s plans with prayer. The earnest prayer of surrender that we offer in morning worship requires a prayer of reinforcement for Divine Help when the afternoon and evening temptations arise. Every prayer we speak even when all is well should include the request for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
The mercies of a new day will always require a struggle against our carnal desires. When facing temptation, respond with prayer, ask for the Divine Help of the Holy Spirit, and stand your ground by declaring No to sin. We can proclaim much love for God and live disciplined lives, but we were not created with the ability to overcome temptation and sin without the Holy Spirit’s power.
The Holy Spirit [our Teacher] empowers us with Jesus’ spiritual strength to perceive life through spiritual eyes and to overcome temptation. Still, we must use our God-given attribute of self-control to rebuke our heart’s carnal desires. The Holy Spirit always warns us of temptation before we step into sin’s danger zone. The decision is ours to make. Either, we use our free will to choose righteousness or we succumb to sin.
“No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.” —1 John 3:9, NIV
If choosing between right and wrong is a struggle then we have a heart issue. We cannot measure love for God in increments—loving God is all [100%] or nothing [0%]. When our hearts are overflowing with love for Christ, we do not have the desire to willingly sin against God. Our love for God remains steadfast because we remember Jesus paid for our freedom with His blood sacrifice that God, the Father required for our redemption.
Loving Christ fuels our desire to remain loyal and to stay in the safety of Jesus, our Shepherd. We steadfastly proclaim, Because I love God, I will not compromise! Every believer is dependent on the Holy Spirit to change us into the image of Christ. The heart filled with love for God, others, and self [in that order] is the only heart that is acceptable to God and the only heart that the Holy Spirit will enter.
The Human Effort of Love + Surrender + Obedience + The Divine Intervention of the Holy Spirit = God’s Goal of Our Spiritual Transformation
God, teach us to love. We desire to have a heart overflowing with Agape love for You and others. We ask for the anointing, power, and presence of the Holy Spirit. When we are thinking our thoughts, we ask the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins. God, we love You, worship You, and praise Your Holy Name. Thank You for hearing and answering our prayer that we pray in the Worthy Name of Jesus, Amen.
We are blessed that we serve a loving God who promises us that He will never change. No other person or entity on this earth can make the steadfast promise of always being consistent, “For I am the LORD, I do not change…” (Malachi 3:6).
God’s Love is the Foundation of Life
Love is the Character of the Triune God Love is the foundation for Accepting Christ Love is the foundation for Dependence on God Love is the foundation for Striving for Righteousness Love is the foundation for Surrender Love is the foundation for Faithfulness Love is the foundation for Obedience Love is the foundation for Compassion Love is the foundation for Loving Others Love is the foundation for Helping Others Love is the Foundation for True Christianity
Prayerfully, during this Sabbath, we will rededicate ourselves to loving God through a prayer of consecration and obedience. Agape love gives us the courage to always strive for righteousness as we prepare daily for the soon coming of Jesus Christ.
Our Daily Walk with Christ Devotional – March 9, 2024
“Through the Lord’s mercies, we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I hope in Him!’ ” —Lamentations 3:22-24
When we think of worshiping God, our thoughts usually gravitate toward corporate worship in church. The apostle Paul commands us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves because the church provides spiritual sustenance and a sense of belonging when among other believers. But weekly worship cannot give us the spiritual nourishment required to strengthen our faith in God and withstand the fiery darts of the enemy for the remaining six days of the week.
It is the consistent daily morning and evening secret closet worship that reflects our love and commitment to God, invites the Holy presence of God into our lives, establishes and maintains our relationship with Christ, and invites the Holy Spirit to perform our spiritual transformation. Our inward love for God is reflected outwardly by our praise and worship.
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” — Daniel 6:10
Intimate communion with God not only builds our faith and trust in Him but we also develop the habit of prayer as the first response when challenges arise. Recently, I asked God how I could increase my faith to a “move the mountain” level. On Friday evening, I watched a program with a 3-person panel on remembrance, expressing gratitude to God, and changing our prayer habits.
“They did not keep the covenant of God; They refused to walk in His law, And forgot His works And His wonders that He had shown them. Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the waters stand up like a heap.” —Psalm 78:10-13
The panel’s answer to not repeating the Israelites’ behavior of forgetfulness in the wilderness: “Spiritually, to remember goes beyond intellectual thought processes. We make a habit of remembering God’s Divine Intervention and the many victories we have received. Remembering daily blessings acts as a catalyst to move us forward in faith and to reflect deeply on the kindness and goodness of God.”
Yes, we may criticize the Israelites and wonder, How could they be so ungrateful to God who emancipated them from Egyptian slavery, opened the Red Sea, and gave them many blessings every day? Sadly, we are modern-day Israelites who also forget to remember God’s goodness. How often do we thank God for the blessings that we consider as small—the mercies of life, health, mental and physical strength, safety, housing, and our daily provisions?
The human mind cannot remember what is not appreciated. Our memories usually only extend to the past two to three months of receiving the big blessings. We lose our excitement and cease to verbalize praise and thankfulness because we are distracted by the desire for more. We can receive God’s abundant blessings and like the Israelites in the wilderness, we forget to remember the Lord’s faithfulness. “Because of our unbelief and ingratitude, we limit God’s blessings in our lives.” (Panel remark)
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” —Psalm 136:1
The good news is that we can immediately change our spirit of ingratitude by repenting and expressing our love and appreciation to God in prayer. Daniel not only established a daily practice of praying out loud three times a day, but he also maintained a continuous mindset of prayerful reverence for God. Never take any aspect of your life for granted, everything we have is a gift from our loving Heavenly Father.
Whisper prayers of Thank You, God, throughout your waking hours. God is always loving, gracious, and faithful. His mercies sustain us every day and for this, He deserves all the honor, glory, and praise. To have mountain-moving faith not only requires much prayer but we must also have a deep love for our Heavenly Father, the Source of our lives.
Express gratitude immediately! There are no coincidences in the believer’s life. Thank God for every little and big blessing throughout the given day. Our lives are extremely busy. We often forget the blessings we receive during the day later in the evening. Within a couple of weeks of thanking God more often, our minds respond and we have formed a spiritual habit that honors God.
Speaking praises out loud utilizes our gift of speech, the sound waves are captured by our ears, and our frontal lobes form and retain our spoken words of gratitude as long-term memories. Praise the Lord for His overwhelming love, His abundant showers of mercies, and His great faithfulness! Praise the Lord!
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done…” —Psalm 105:1-5
Our Daily Walk with Christ Devotional – March 7, 2024
When a company recruits new employees they utilize predetermined standards for productivity and core character traits to select the best candidates. Integrity, loyalty, dependability, and flexibility comprise the list of must-haves for possible hire consideration. To be successful, every business requires an employee mixture of various skill levels and personalities.
The worker bees are the foundation of every business. They are loyal and steadfast because they usually desire to remain with the company until they retire if things remain as they are. Their happiness and satisfaction arise from established routines. However, this trait usually prevents them from welcoming new ideas of progress. Unfortunately, many people lose their jobs due to their resistance to change.
To remain competitive, every company needs high achievers who possess innate qualities above minimal standards and have definitive goals for their future. Not only do they accept and believe in the company’s vision and mission, but they are innovative and driven to soar like Eagles in their careers by seeking professional and personal growth and development.
Although the achievers move the company forward, their drive for personal success can create a spirit of disloyalty. The movers and shakers will stay with the company as long as they are climbing the career ladder. If their goals are not met within a certain timeframe then they secure another job and will resign without remorse.
Still, many develop their vision and mission by paving the road to entrepreneurship—self-employment. With much courage, they learn how to operate a business, research, follow their instincts, and develop successful business plans to propel their dream of providing essential services to customers.
Entrepreneurs are driven and usually succeed because they seek the savvy advice of those who possess expertise in their given area of business. Many entrepreneurs are also employed because they desire to learn the business culture and operations. To maintain a competitive edge, all three distinctive personalities are required for a company’s economic stability and growth.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,’ says 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.’ ” —Isaiah 55:8-9
Our lifestyles reflect our core beliefs and practices. For the Christian believer, the independent mindset, values, and goals we develop in our personal lives to satisfy our desires and remain competitive in this world will always present conflict with God’s Commandments, Righteous Standards, Holy Principles, and plans for our lives. Surrendering to God means that we let go of all the unrighteousness in our characters and present lifestyles.
A Living Sacrifice: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, given God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship” (Romans 12:1, NIV). To faithfully serve God, we must surrender to this lifelong commitment, “My life is not my own.” You may think, “If only it was that easy.” To overcome this roadblock, we must identify the traits that intensify our struggle and prevent surrendering to God.
The Dissatisfied Believer is always striving for more: “He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’ The woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,’ but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ‘You will not certainly die,’ the serpent said to the woman” (Genesis 3:1-4).
Deep within her heart, Eve desired more than the perfect life God gave to her and Adam. When our hearts desire more than God has blessed us with, our focus becomes distorted. Our rational thought processes cannot compete with our heart’s carnal desires. If we begin to think deeply about our desires then [like Eve who added a command that God never gave, “and you must not touch it…”] our minds become confused, “Did God really say that?” and we fall hard.
The Believer Who Relies on Themselves: Let’s fast forward to 2024. You are a business owner who is thriving as is, but a family member or friend informs you of a current trend in which other businesses are making a lot of money. Instead of saying no, you begin to think about the small amount it would take to invest but the mark-up of 125% return would be great. In your mind, this is a win-win situation. Yes, your profit margin would increase.
Instead of praying, waiting, and seeking sound advice, you develop a no-fail plan to expand the business by investing two to three thousand dollars. Sadly without knowing the market was already saturated with these non-essential trendy products, three months later you still have cases of products without any sales.
The Believer Who Loves to Receive Blessings: “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24).
Jesus clarified that the love of money always separates us from God. We tell ourselves that we do not love money because our definition of loving money never aligns with God’s definition. But we love things. Reflect on the past four weeks, how many people have you helped? “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ ” (Acts 20:35).
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21).
The Secular Christian: Last week, I learned about the humanmade concept of Secular Christianity. The premise is “You don’t have to live in fear as a nonsecular Christian. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, not works.” Sadly, the person who believes in God and loves worldliness is in a worse predicament than the unbeliever because they truly believe they will have eternal life.
“They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.” —Titus 1:16
Although Secular Christianity appears to be a new heretical theory, many believers have practiced secularism by disobeying God for the majority of their Christian experience. Not only do they attempt to redefine God’s Grace to cover their sins, but they also attend church as an act of contrition to absolve their unrighteousness. They have fallen prey to Satan’s deception that all is well between themselves and God.
“So, shall we then continue in sin that grace may abound?” Paul replies with a resounding “God forbid” (Romans 6:2). “To desire to continue in sin shows a misunderstanding of this abundant grace and a contempt for Jesus’ sacrifice. Either we believe what God says is true or we don’t.” (Grand Canyon University, Spiritual Life Blog)
Gifting God with our Hearts: “Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). To be who God has called us to be, we cannot give Him a piece offering [only a piece of our hearts]. It’s all or nothing. As one songwriter expressed, “It takes our everything to serve the Lord.”
“As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, ‘Follow Me.’ So he arose and followed Him” (Matthew 9:9). Matthew’s response to Jesus’ invitation is more powerful than human words can express. He left the tax table and immediately followed Jesus. Not only did He acquiesce to Christ’s Sovereignty, Matthew gave up His lifestyle and never looked back.
Humility, Surrender, Faith, and Obedience are Core Christ-like Characteristics
Like the worker bees, we must be faithful, loyal, and obedient disciples who desire to complete our spiritual tasks. As followers of Christ [working disciples], we remain steadfast and persevere in our spiritual assignments until we retire [breathe our last breath]. Unlike the employer’s worker bees, we embrace every change required for our spiritual transformation.
“I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.” —John 17:4
Although we cannot pray Jesus’ exact prayer, we can pray, “God, I am doing my best to honor and glorify You with my love, surrender, and faithful obedience.” As spiritual high achievers, we accept God’s vision and plans for our lives. We pray for the Holy Spirit to empower us with the strength and wisdom to complete our God-given goals. Unlike the corporate high achievers, we remain loyal to Christ by discarding our pursuit of personal goals and remaining on our Chosen Path.
“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.” —Psalm 25:9
To follow Christ requires the courage of an entrepreneur. We must be prepared to get out of the boat and walk on the water of adversity. The reason we can move forward despite our hardships is because we trust Christ. Our relationship with Him is steadfast because worship is our core practice. The Bible is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
“Sola Scriptura means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture…” We have the Holy Bible to guide us on the Righteous Path. As followers of Christ, we believe that all Scripture was given by God and is still relevant today [the exception is the Ceremonial Law—no more animal sacrifice—Jesus paid it all].
Although we are tempted by many deceptive schemes, unlike the entrepreneur who may take a risk, we rely on God’s Divine wisdom for guidance. Not only do we invite the presence of God into our lives every day, we faithfully pray for God’s will to be revealed, and wait to hear His Voice instructing us. “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21).
“Be holy, for I am Holy” is God’s command that will never change. If we are willing to let go of all unrighteousness in our present lifestyles [thoughts, spoken words, habits, and people] then Christ intervenes by covering us with His righteousness. We pray daily and receive the supernatural strength to overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Never begin your day without praying for the anointing, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit. We desperately need the spiritual wisdom, strength, and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit of Truth, we cannot live holy. Our characters must endure a spiritual makeover to reflect the Fruit of the Spirit and the Righteous attributes of the Character of Christ.
Life on earth is our only opportunity to receive spiritual transformation. All Divine and holy beings in heaven are involved in our earthly journey to prepare us to live in the New Heaven and New Earth. Like Matthew, we must let go of every sinful aspect of our lifestyles that threatens us from receiving our greatest reward, eternal life with King Jesus!
God, we ask You to search our hearts and reveal all unrighteousness that prevents us from giving our all to You. In Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
