Need encouragement? Need more positivity? Choose to luxuriate in good instruction for 40 days! Take a retreat from all the world negativity. Indulge yourself with a great book, “Igniting Faith.”  Give your mind a rest. Give your soul permission to surrender to your spirit. Release your spirit to the dance of truth as new revelation spins through your being. Become a shining light in this world. By your radiant example, walk us into the Promised Land. God says to us, “Go to the land which I am giving, every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, I have given you.” Feed Wisely

Applying that scripture personally, I chose to tell my soul to take a rest from reasoning “how could this be?”  Trusting God, my spirit waltzes into all that is legally mine — even  before I experientially possess it. My legal ownership is enough for me to think, imagine, and actually experience ownership. It takes GREAT FAITH to EXPERIENCE GOD’S PROMISED LAND.

Often people spend much effort and time praying over a circumstance hoping that time and quantity of prayer will bring the desired result. The hope is that faith will increase through our effort. This reasoning implies that faith is built by what I do. Faith does not come through our effort. Faith is a gift, and it increases as we draw near to God. Our “measure of faith” Romans 12:3 will increase in proportion to the revelation we have of God’s character, His love, and His promises.  I believe in Jesus Christ. I trust in God the Father. My faith grows in proportion to how much I read the Bible. The Holy Spirit is my teacher, and He reveals God’s character and goodness. My Father is faithful and trustworthy.  I choose to spend more time in His presence developing intimacy. Theology does not satisfy my hunger. Only my personal relationship with God can quench my thirst.

We battle spiritual forces, with the Word of  God. Unbelief leaves us wide open for demonic attack. Examine your heart for any unbelief or doubt. If a spirit of fear, anxiety, or envy surfaces, in the name of Jesus, demolish it! We do not beg God, we command lying spirits to shut up. Our emotions are not to be trusted, God is. We do not  pretend fear is not there. We face it with faith, and in the name of Jesus, we arrest it.  Confront the liar and his scheme and rebuke spirits of unbelief, fear, and envy. Read God’s Word and choose to worship Jesus. He has already won the battle. Ezekiel ate the Word.

Our Father called it the Promised Land so that HIS PEOPLE (me) would confidently proceed to POSSESS it – no matter the obstacles encountered. Each believer was given the Holy Spirit, and His indwelt, embued divine authority, eternal life, and mighty power through FAITH in Jesus.  Identity in Christ

I declare that I am fully atoned, and I enjoy health, favor, protection, abundant provision, wisdom, and much more as I move and breathe and delight in my being as HIS adopted kid! Peter wrote this hope “exceedingly great and precious promises” which were GIVEN to us “that we may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE ” 2 Peter 1:4 Let’s PERSEVERE and keep SEEKING to POSSESS what is already LEGALLY ours. I Declare: I am who the Bible says I am. I have what God says I have. I can do what God says I can do. In my experiece, I increasingly embrace the gifts of God.

We plant seeds, we water them, and trust God to cause them to grow and bloom. John 20:29 “…blessed are they that have NOT seen, and yet have BELIEVED.”  Consider the Centurion’s faith. Jesus was willing  to go to his house to heal the officer’s servant. With great faith, this Roman military man knew about AUTHORITY. “Just speak a word and it will be done.” He simply believed that whatever Jesus spoke, would become a reality. For those who BELIEVE but have NOT seen, through our FAITH in our unseen God, our trust is evidenced and noted by God. “Consider your ways!” Haggai 1:5 ❤️ GREAT FAITH does not demand immediate results.  In our waiting, God is working all things out in His Way which exceeds our greatest expectations.  Like the Centurion, we shall all return home in confidence that Our Father will supply above and beyond all that we asked for. AMEN

Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” 🎵 Psalm 34:1-5 “I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” ❤️
