BEHIND

There are two things that I always want you to put behind you.  When Satan tempted Me to worship Him, I said, "Get behind Me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only shall you serve. When ever Satan tempts you, I want you to declare these same words to Satan: "Get behind Me Satan."

Paul, My apostle, always was pressing forward to fulfill the high call that I had given him.  He wrote: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things that are before, I press toward the mark for the prize  of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14)."

Walking in the Spirit is always a progressive walk.  There is no going back.  Faith can only operate in the present time. Daily combat Satan by telling him to get behind you when you are tempted, and move ahead and worship Me.  Forget the past daily, and operate in the present with faith.

LUKE 4:8; PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

UNITY

Many in My body on Earth are experiencing division in their families.  The fruit of the spirit of anti-Christ is division.  Bind this spirit in My blood and in My name and loose My Holy Spirit to bring unity in your family.

Refuse to get into strife because it is during strife that My enemy will take advantage of you.  Remember it takes two to enter into strife. When there is a disagreement, do not argue.  Simply pray and do the warfare needed.

Pray and endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

EPHESIANS 4:3

 

OBSERVATION

I want you always to observe My loving kindness, goodness, and mercy.  My beloved psalmist, David, wrote a psalm that lists these observations.

When you have time, review all these observations in Psalm 107.  I am sure that David reviewed them often, and this is how he gained confidence to do battle with his enemies.

You are living in a time when the battle with Satan is increasing.  Praise is the devil's death knell.  He hates it when you praise Me.  Use praise as a weapon against My enemy today by reading out loud Psalm 107.

PSALM 107

STRETCH

I granted Peter's request to bid him to come join Me as I walked on the water. Peter began to walk to meet Me. However, when the boisterous winds came, suddenly Peter began to sink,  He cried out, "LORD save me!"

He was sinking deeper into the waters when I stretched out My hand and caught him. The winds of trouble are sweeping the world right now, and the waves of adversity are increasing. Sometimes you may feel like you are sinking.  

I want you to always know that I never take my eyes off of you. I am always face to face with you.  I can see right away when you begin to sink into the depths of discouragement, fear, or doubt. My hand is always outstretched to catch you.  I will never let you sink.

MATTHEW 14:25-31

COMMISSION

When you were born again, you received your commission to be in My great army of saints. My last instructions to My disciples before I ascended into heaven were given to all who would believe in Me in the generations to come..

My instructions were: "Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

These instructions often are called the "Great Commission."  I want to emphasize to every believer today that these instructions can only be obeyed with My strength.  See yourself yoked to My Holy Spirit as He leads you into all truth and guides you to do My will daily. You are a co-laborer with Me in this last great harvest and together we will fulfill this great mission.

MATTHEW 28:18-20

TITLE

Pilate wrote a title on a wooden sign and put it on the cross where I died.  He wrote JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.  Even the Greeks and Hebrews in the city could read this title that was written on this wooden sign. It was also written in Latin.

There will be a new title written on My thigh when I return to to do battle with those who have come against Israel.  That title reads, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

One day everyone will bow their knee and confess that I am LORD OF LORDS.  Pray for those who have not bowed their knee to Me and confessed Me as LORD OF LORDS. Cry out for those who are lost.

JOHN 19:19-20; REVELATION 19:16; PHILIPPIANS 2:10

ERR0R

So many in your nation are not even aware that they were created by God.  Many have erred in their interpretation of the truths that are in My Word.  The fields are truly ripe for harvest.  Some people are looking for truth in the midst of all the lies that are on the news. 

My brother James wrote: "Let  him know, that the one who converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."

Be alert each day to see opportunities to share My truths with others.  Pray before you share. Pray that My Holy Spirit will open the eyes of their understanding and that they will receive the gift of faith to receive My truths.

JAMES 5:20

TOTAL

Whenever you receive a bill or a record of your bank account, you usually look immediately for the total of the bill or the total balance of your account.

I want you to understand that I paid your total debt to sin.  I paid the debt that I did not owe so that your debt of sin could be canceled.  

You can rejoice because I have not only paid in full the total you owed for the sins you committed in the past, but I have also paid for the sins you may commit in the future.  When I died on the tree, I exchanged your unrighteousness for My righteousness so that you can now be debt free. 

ROMANS 3:25-26

APPOINTMENTS

Your days are written in your "Book of Life."  There are divine appointments that I want you to keep.  I am always so grateful when you take time in the morning to pray and ask My Holy Spirit to help you not to miss any divine appointments that I have for you.

You were away for almost two weeks, but you were faithful to pray and ask Me to help make your appointments on time.  You had to depend on friends and family to get you to the four places you visited,  but because you depended upon My Holy Spirit to lead and guide you, you made all your appointments.

The greatest appointment I want you to make daily is to spend time with Me.  Daily pray for My Spirit to guide and lead you throughout the day, and He will always be faithful to help you fulfill My daily will.

PSALM 37:5

CONFUSION

I am not the author of confusion.  My adversary, the devil, is the author of confusion..  He always brings strife and chaos. My enemy is stirring up strife and envy in your land, and this opens the door to lawlessness and every evil work.

My enemy has forgotten that even though I am not the author of confusion, I have the power to confuse every enemy that comes against Me and My beloved.

I am the author of peace. Use the keys to the kingdom I have given you and bind the strife and jealousy in My blood and command those wicked spirits to cease their activity.  Loose My Holy Spirit and My warring angels to fight against My enemy.  Pray for My army of angels to confuse every strategy of the devil.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:33; JAMES 3:16

PURPOSE

So many in the world lack purpose.  They just exist from day to day and only experience the mundane routines at work and school and even at home. 

I have ordained from before the foundation of the world the works that are designed for every person born.  That purpose was and is to glorify Me which means to make My presence known on earth.

Sadly, many born never realized their purpose in life because they have chosen to go their own way instead of My way.  Pray for this generation today to discover why they were born and also to discover who they are and what they are to do.  Pray for them to find their identity in Me and to do the works by My grace that I purposed for them to do.

2 TIMOTHY 1:9

FRUIT

Isaiah prophetically shared that I would be anointed to preach good tidings to the meek, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

I would also proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn to give them the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

The anointing I received from My Father enabled Me to bear much fruit. Many who believed in Me became trees of righteousness and My own plantings who would glorify My Father just as I did.  I have planted you, and you will bear much fruit.  I promised that you would do even greater works than I did.

ISAIAH 61:1-3; JOHN 14:12
