“Quietness and trust is your strength.” Isaiah 30:15 ❤️  “I cease striving, my mind is stilled to rest in Him.” Psalm 46:10  “The Lord fights for me and I hold my peace.” Exodus 14:14  “Let all the earth keep silence before Him.” Habakkuk 2:20 “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him, do not fret.” Psalm 37:7 “Be still and know I am God; I will be exalted among the nations.” Psalm 46:10  “Be still, and know that I am God.” Isaiah 46:10 “My soul, waits silently for God alone, for my expectation is in Him.”  1 John 4 “Do NOT BELIEVE every spirit, but TEST the SPIRITS to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.This is how you can RECOGNIZE the SPIRIT of GOD: Every spirit that acknowledges that JESUS CHRIST has come in the flesh IS from God, but every spirit that does NOT acknowledge Jesus is NOT from God. “The ONE who is IN YOU is GREATER than the one who is in the world.” Wisely choose to praise Jesus and test the spirits.

Please Lord, illuminate our mind, strengthen our spirit, and transform us into the image of Christ. We need personal and corporate revival. AMEN Romans 12:1-2  “I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.”

A good morning is filled with silence. “My intentional right now convalesence is to be silent for an entire day, without reading headlines, with my mind turned off to all spin, with zero gossip or the need to see or do anything — this is to surrender my over opinionated soul — to the secret quiet space of my spirit within.  Being thoroughly stilled by the Holy Presence, and for a time completely indifferent to man’s ever twisting narrative— This 24 hour prescription is the finest medicine I could possibly minister to my own body, soul and spirit”  ~ Barbara Hoyle ❤️ The meaning of sanctified: Being set apart.  Declared holy; consecrated. Jesus said, “It is finished.” Believe the living and active Word of God.

Today let’s intetionally fill our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, love for all, and gentleness. Think about what fills you up? If you hold a cup of coffee and someone bumps into you or shakes your arm, your coffee spills everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? Because someone bumped into me! Wrong answer. You spilled coffee because black coffee was in your cup. If it was tea, you would have spilled tea. If it is grace or mercy in your cup, that will spill out and bless others.

Whatever is inside the cup is what spills out. So when life shakes you, whatever is inside of you will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until you get rattled. So we ask ourself “what’s in my cup?” Life gets tough in traffic, at home, in church, at school so what spills out when a person acts out against your beliefs? Joy, gratitude, grace, humility? Anger, bitterness, hate? Our life is the cup, we choose how to fill it. Fill it with the goodness of God.

Keep speaking the name of Jesus over your soul, your family, city and nation. “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7  Prayer 🤲 Lord help us surrender our stiff necked opinions and ways. We want You to be glorified as we live our lives “in Christ”. Amen.

Storms bring necessary rain. God’s plan for the world stands firm and His plan is unfolding perfectly. All His designs are orderly and His ways never change. Blessed is the country who seeks God. Our Father has His eye fixed on those who obey His word. He goes before us with power and He flings open doors for us to walk through. He takes great pleasure in the ones who keep in step with His next move. Ever faithful, He comes to our rescue in bad times. In our weakness, He keeps our body and spirit walking “this way”. Depend on God; He is Who keeps our cups overflowing. Our Father is trustworthy and true, God is all we need. AMEN

If you do NOT believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Person of the Holy Spirit, then you do not know GOD. False prophets seek to include all beliefs. Be clear, Be sanctified fully, Be set apart, TEST all the spirits. Living on earth is NOT our best life. Our best life is living “in Christ” for His glory.
