WONDERS

When Moses and the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, he wrote: "Who is like unto thee, O LORD among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" When Joshua was about to cross the Jordan into the "Promised Land," Joshua said to the  children of Israel: "Sanctify yourself: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."

The enemies of Israel had chased them to what they thought was the point of no return.  They had lost all hope, when My Father opened the Red Sea for them to cross on dry land.  Then the Egyptians were swalowed by the sea when the sea waters rolled over them.

You may feel like your enemy, the devil, is winning a victory over you, but tomorrow you will see wonders.  Hold fast to your confidence in Me.  I am your shield and defender.  I am your high tower and you can run to Me in times of trouble.  Trust Me to do wonders for you as you set yourself apart to worship and praise Me in faith believing that I have a great plan of victory for you.

EXODUS 15:11-12; JOSHUA 3:5; HEBREWS 3:6

POSITIVE

Whenever you see things through a negative filter, you need to take those thoughts captive to Me.  Negative thoughts come from My enemy who desires to keep you weighted down with worry, anxiety, and fear.  My friend Paul knew how to battle negativity.  He exhorted the church in Corinth to take captive vain imaginations and thoughts that exalted self above Me by giving those thoughts to Me.  He also exhorted the Colossian church to set their affection on the things above rather than the things on this earth.  These two exhortations reveal the secret to thinking the positive thoughts that I give you rather than the negative thoughts My enemy gives you.

The moment you are in the negative mode of thinking, give every anxious, worry, and fearful thought to Me.  Then ask Me to replace those thoughts with My righteous, positive thoughts of peace, joy, and love.  My Kingdom includes righteous thinking.  You have My mind.  Submit your mind to Me daily and ask for My anointing of wisdom and understanding, might and council, knowledge and the fear of the Lord.  When  you do this you will not fall into My enemy's snare of negativity.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-7; COLOSSIANS 3:2; ISAIAH 11:2

THOUGHTS

My servant Paul wrote: Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Every day can be a day filled with thanksgiving when you think on the things Paul exhorted believers to think about.  When you think on the things that are listed in this exhortation, you will guard your mind against negative thoughts that will open your mins to a spirit of heaviness.

Keep your mind stayed upon Me because I am all truth; I am just; I am pure; I am lovely; I am virtuous; and My gospel is a good report.  You will remain in continuous joy and peace when you keep your thoughts centered upon Me.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8

NEXT?

When I walked around the Galilee, I was completely dependent upon the Holy Spirit.  I only did what I saw My Father do and I only said what I heard My Father speak to Me.  The Holy Spirit revealed to me the next thing to do.

I have designed you to be completely dependent upon the Holy Spirit.  His duty now is to take the things that I spoke and that I did and bring those things to your remembrance.  His duty is to lead you into all all truth.  He is your guide for the day. 

I know there are many things that you plan to do today.  However, your day will go the direction I desire it to go when you are completely dependent upon My Spirit to lead and guide you.  He can redeem your time and He can put you in the right place at the right time.  Ask Him to help you today and at the end of the day you will thank Me for a fruitful day.

JOHN 14:16-18. 26

DELIGHT

It is My delight to take your burdens.  If you are worried, anxious, or fearful about anything, give those concerns to Me.  I said that My burdens are light.  When you give your burdens to Me, I can shine My light on those things that are a concern to you and I then can perfect them.

You are the sheep in My pasture and there is no way that a sheep can right itself once it is cast down because the wool on it is so heavy.  Burdens weight you down. I am your "Good Shepherd"  Who longs to set you upright when you are cast down and weighed down with worldly cares.

I am your "Good Shepherd" Who cannot wait to lead you in paths of righteousness once you have released every care to Me.  The cares that you give Me are like gifts that I receive with joy.  This morning release every care to Me and then ask Me for wisdom.  I can then lead you in the way you should go with every every decision you have to make.

MATTHEW 11:28-30; PSALM 138:8

POSTPONE

Many of My beloved postpone things until tomorrow or sometime in the future.  When you are in the mode of putting off things until another day, month, or year, you will miss the opportunities I have for you now.  I urged My disciples to work while it was day because night was coming soon.

The age you are living in right now is the midnight hour.  I am coming soon.  You are living in the last great harvest, and this is why you cannot be in the postponing mode of operation.  Faith can only work in the now.  More than ever, you need to listen carefully to My Holy Spirit as He directs your day. 

Some people say that one day they will work full time for Me when they do not have other obligations.  You are a laborer in My vineyard right now.  The ministry I have for you is in the moment.  Whoever you are face to face with today or whoever you encounter through other avenues is the ministry I have given you.  You are to be a light to all you encounter today.  Pray that your light will so shine before all you meet today so that those you meet will glorify My Father in heaven.

JOHN 9:4; MATTHEW 5:16

RELENTLESS

I am relentless when I deal with your enemies.  I am your protector and I will always take care of you.  It is My joy to do battle for you.  Every day you face three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil.  I have already won the victory over these enemies, but now it is up to you to enforce My victory.

You enforce My victory over the world and the flesh when you stay filled with My Spirit.  You stay filled with My Spirit by staying in My Word, singing and praying in the Spirit, singing hymns and psalms and submitting to others in love.  The battle is in the mind, so you must also take captive every vain imagination and thought that causes you to not believe in Me.  Pull down the strongholds of pride and replace those prideful thoughts with thoughts that exalt Me instead of yourself.  You enforce My victory over the devil when you take up your weapons of warfare that are not carnal.  Speak My Word out loud and pray with all kinds of prayer out loud. 

When you do your part in the battle against these three enemies, you will always be victorious.  No weapon that is formed against you will prosper.  Remember to hide yourself in Me.  I am your full armor.  Do not forget to put on the breastplate of righteousness daily. Whenever condemining thoughts come your way, say out loud, "My righteousness is of Jesus Christ!"
