Keep putting Your thoughts in my mind, Your desires in my heart, Your words in my mouth, Your perspective in my spirit. Keep forming Your character in my character and Your nature in my nature. Always at the heart of Your character and your nature is Love, “God is Love” (1 John 4:18).

So as I seek to be “speaking the truth in love” and living the truth in love--all by Your grace and as best as I can--I can trust Your unfailing love to be at work in all I encounter and overcome (Ephesians 4:15). For “Love never fails.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">I may fail, but Your Love won’t. I may make mistakes, but Your Love won’t. So even if I make mistakes and even if I fail, Your Love will still be at work in every situation, even redeeming my failures and my mistakes, if my heart and spirit are pursuing the character and nature of Your Love (Romans 8:28).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“The steadfast Love of the Lord never ceases.

font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and listen for Your voice, for Your sheep hear Your voice and You know them and they follow You (John 10:27). ...</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As I wait and listen for the leading of Your Spirit (Romans 8:14), I hear in my heart these words: “Great exploits.” ...</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Immediately the Scripture of Your Written Word comes to mind in confirmation of what I’m hearing in my heart of Your spoken word from the end-time, prophetic Book of Daniel:</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Daniel 11:32).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">The prophet Daniel speaks of a time to come called “the appointed time” (v. 29). It will be a horrendous time of battles and intrigue, of grief and rage, of defilement and “abomination” (v. 31). But in the midst of it all, You will have a people who are called by Your name, who will know their God, who will be strong in the strength of the Lord, who will “carry out great exploits!” (v. 32)</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Your people will overcome much and through their overcoming lives, keeping their faces and hearts turned toward You no matter what comes against them, they “shall instruct many” (v. 33). All that they endure and overcome shall only serve to “refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time” (v. 35).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">We don’t know the day or hour of those times or that “appointed time,” but You do. Our part is not to know the exact time, but to be ready now in our hearts for whatever times may come. As You said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world!” (John 16:33).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Our moments of tribulation may be battling cancer or a sickness, overcoming a culture hell-bent on rejecting God, persevering in prayer and holding fast to the Word of God despite a world that blasphemes our God and belittles the power and authority of Your Word even in parts of Your own “church,” or pressing into Your Presence when our hopes are dashed, our faith is challenged, our weaknesses are exposed, and our spiritual enemies seem to have a time or season of prevailing, as when Satan thought he had the victory on Good Friday before his crushing defeat of Resurrection Sunday!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">But we find our peace in You. We have our victory in You. And even in the darkness, Your light will shine brighter. Even through the battles, Your people who overcome will ultimately prevail in Your power, doing “great exploits” by Your grace and for Your glory!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">We don’t know all the times to come. But we do know the One who holds all time in Your hands. So I entrust myself to You. I seek to keep pursuing You, to know You, to be among those “who know their God” and “carry out great exploits” (v. 32).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Come, Holy Spirit. Prepare my heart today so that I may be ready whenever those days may come, whenever “the appointed time” is at hand. Refine me. Purify me. Make me white as snow in the cleansing of my soul through the Blood of the Lamb and the Fire of the Spirit! I desire with all my heart to be found faithful to You. And if it is to be, to be one of those whom You have called and commissioned to do “great exploits” in the power and authority of Your name in the times in which You’ve chosen for me and blessed me to be alive and see! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

But we do become more and more like You, as we entrust more of our nature to Your nature, more of our will to Your will, as our thoughts become more like Your thoughts and our desires become more like You desires.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Step by step on our spiritual journey, layer by layer on our inner transformation, we’re being conformed into the image of the Son of God, as we entrust ourselves as children of God to You as our Father God (Romans 8:29). As we behold You, set our hearts on You, turn our faces toward You, You are changing us by Your Spirit into Your image “from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Your Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, growing up to maturity, secure in our identity, finding our authority, fulfilling our destiny, by the grace of God (Romans 8:16).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">So come, Holy Spirit. Help me in my human weakness with Your divine power (Romans 8:26). I can’t do it, but You can. I can’t even desire it apart from You imparting Your desires in my heart and Your thoughts in my mind. But I can say “Yes, Lord” to allow You to have Your way in me. I can make the choice -- as best as I can and all by Your grace -- to live by the Spirit rather than by the flesh (Romans 8:13) and to be led by Your Spirit instead of led by my flesh. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">In this way and all by the power of Your grace at work within me, I willingly choose to embrace Your calling and Your “exceedingly great and precious promises” to become one of Your “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4). “For it is God who works in (me) both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). “For (You are) working in (me), giving (me) the desire and the power to do what pleases (You)” (NLT), as You keep changing my character into Your character and my nature into Your nature.

You abide in me and I in You -- Spirit to spirit, Heart to heart, Deep to deep -- as I begin my day in communion with You and seek to continue my day in ever-abiding communion with You (John 15:4). ...</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the Presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:19-21).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“Times of refreshing” come “from the Presence of the Lord” (v. 19).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Refresh me in Your Presence today, O Lord. Restore me. Renew me. Revive me. All as You refresh me in Your Presence.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">This refreshing comes through repentance--through my turning to You in the opening of my heart, through You transforming me in the renewing of my mind, through You setting things right within me by the power of Your grace, in the mystery of faith, through this expression of Your love.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">This refreshing comes not by merely knowing about You, or even merely reading about You even in the sacred Words of the Book of Your Bible, but by pursuing Your Presence, encountering Your Presence, abiding in Your Presence. This refreshing comes from being both grounded in Your Word and also filled with Your Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16 and Ephesians 5:18).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh faints for Your Presence!” (Psalm 63:1)</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“You make known to me the path of life; in Your Presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore!” (Psalm 16:11).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As I pursue and embrace Your Presence -- here in these first moments of my morning -- I know You will go with me, even abiding within me, on every step of my day and in all I’ll encounter along the way. You are with me always (Matthew 28:20), never leaving me, never forsaking me (Hebrews 13:5), always renewing me, reviving me, changing and transforming me, making me more like You every day (Romans 8:29). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, ‘Look at us.’ So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, ‘Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.’ And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him” (Acts 3:1-10).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">We don’t have anything to give but You.

Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all” (Acts 3:12-16).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">O, there’s power in the name of Jesus! “Through faith in His name, has made this man strong!” “Yes, the faith which comes through Him” healed this man and made him whole!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord, remind me that I don’t have anything to give today but You.

font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let Your light shine in me; let Your love flow through me. Send me where You will and have Your will in my life today -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">I’ve had a few days now to rest up from my three-week ministry trip to India. (Before my wife Rocio and I leave later this week on our next ministry trip to Ohio). And I’m reflecting on how You have blessed me and given me so much strength and stamina, by Your mercy and grace under the anointing of God, covered by dear friends in prayer, to preach and pray and minister every day for those three weeks. I could barely speak my name at the airline flight counter the early morning of the last day to leave for home, but had the blessing of preaching boldly to the very last sermon and praying the very last prayer for the very last person on the very last night of ministry to finish with a flourish of Your power and love. Thank You, Lord!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">The words of Caleb come to mind, as he thanked You for his inheritance at the end of his season of ministry. He was eighty-five years old but still had the strength of spirit, soul, and body that he had at forty. As Caleb reflected on all You had done, he said:</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God. So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’ And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in” (Joshua 14:7-11).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">I too thank You for the strength of supernatural youth and spiritual fervor that burns like a fire in my belly. Though I’m 62 today and maybe my belly is a little fatter than it was at 40, I thank You and praise You for giving me a passion for You and for the people and nations You would touch through this ministry You’ve entrusted to me all these years. And for the many more years to come! Or at least for the years to come before You come again!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">I’m not foolish enough or prideful enough to think any of this is from my own power or wisdom. Just the opposite. Apart from You, I can do nothing (John 15:5). And I praise You that I’m never apart from You, for You’re always with me, abiding by Your Spirit within me, every moment of every day (John 15:4). Let me use the blessing of this spiritual youth and strength and fervor well for You and Your kingdom all the days of my life.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As one who, like Caleb, lived to fight many battles, to overcome many sins, and to express his faith to You until the day he went on to glory expressed in his prayers: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever!” (Psalm 23:6) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

I embrace the power of Your name. There is no greater name. There is no other name by which we are safe and secure in the eternal plans and purposes of God (Acts 4:12). And as You said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, line up my heart with Your heart, the nature of my character with the nature of Your name, so that what I desire and what I ask is in alignment with Your name and expresses the power and authority of Your name.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As I arise and go about my day, fill my mind with Your thoughts, my heart with Your desires, my mouth with Your words, and my spirit with the Spirit of Your name. For “the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in (Your) name, He will teach (me) all things, and bring to (my) remembrance all things that (You) said to (me)” (John 14:26). You choose us to “go and bear fruit, and that (our) fruit should remain, that whatever (we) ask the Father in (Your) name He may give (us)” (John 15:16).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“Let this mind be in (me) which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

Fill my heart with Your light and my mouth with Your words. ...</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“The joy of the Lord is (my) strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">I’m amazed what a difference joy makes. People are drawn to it. People are hungry for it. Sometimes they don’t even know how much they need it until they see it.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">And joy is transferrable.

And among all the things I’ve seen You do -- moving in the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of God to save souls, heal hearts, break chains, awaken revival -- seeing faces light up with joy, seeing sad eyes start to sparkle with delight, seeing the joy of the Lord ignite a healing from the inside out in so many hearts -- has been one my greatest joys! Because it’s all a manifestation of Your joy!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">In the middle of my journeys, I joined a couple from my home base church and weekly course on inner healing in Fredericksburg, Texas--Allen and Molly Nance--who were visiting the Children’s Home north of Hyderabad they have sponsored for years. One morning we were blessing the children on their way to school with a snack for the day, as we took them by the hands. But first they needed to recite their memory verse for the day -- “The joy of the Lord is (my) strength!”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As soon as they said the words of Your Word, their faces lit up with joy! Then they ran off into their day. Joy was imparted! Joy was ignited! And they carried that joy -- Your joy -- everywhere they went and to everyone they met.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Fill me with more joy today, Lord. It’s part of our inheritance as children of God, part of our inheritance in the kingdom of God. “For the kingdom of God is ... righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit!” (Romans 14:17) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

In Your Flesh, You loved people of flesh and blood, in all their struggles, all their sins, all of everything in them that needed to know You and experience Your love for them. You loved people, saved people, healed people, freed people, encouraged people, released the abundance of life in You to all people who would come to You and trust You and put their faith in You.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Not only did You love them and heal them, You also touched them.

font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Good morning, Lord Jesus. I worship You and wait upon You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light” (Romans 13:12).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As we travel each day from my room to the places of ministry here in South India, we pass many, many temples to the “gods” who are worshipped in this land. They are “gods” made of stone or cement, mixtures of male and female and animals, often with fierce and angry faces. They’re in cities and the countryside, by the roadside and up on the hills. There’s a giant, golden-colored one up on the high place of the hillside just down the road from my room. They’re everywhere.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As I pass them by, I sense You saying in my spirit, “Glance and be aware, but do not stare.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">From the Truth of the Word of God, these are idols. And what is worshipped in the places and sacrificed to these “gods” opens up a darkness over the land and over the people of this land. The precious people of this land are very, very spiritual with a deep hunger for spiritual things. But the enemy of our souls offers a counterfeit supply to their spiritual hunger, as they consume a darkness thinking it’s light.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">But there is One who is the Light. You said, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but have the Light of Life” (John 8:12). Your Word says, “If we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have followship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 5:7). In that way, by the power of Your grace at work within us, by the Light of Your Life shining through us, we fulfill Your Word over every one of us who are Your disciples, following You in Your Light, saying, “You are the light of world” (Matthew 5:14).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">So today, as I rise from my place of prayer and go out into my day of ministry, I “cast off the works of darkness” and I “put on the armor of Light” (Romans 13:12). Greater is Your Light who is in me than any darkness I will encounter today (1 John 4:4). Light always overcomes the darkness; and that darkness will never overcome the Light (John 1:5).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">O God, push back the darkness today! Open up Your heavens over us! Let Your Light shine forth with salvations, healing, deliverance, and revival -- here in my heart and here in the hearts of the precious people of this beautiful and spiritual land! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

And in the wisdom and eternal plan of God, You’ve entrusted Your authority to us as Your disciples to “Go” in Your Spirit with Your Heart in the power of Your authority to the ends of the earth until the end of the age. As the Father sent You, so You send us (John 20:21).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As You commissioned Your first disciples, You continue to commission every disciple -- whether it’s across the street or across the world, in the way that fits who You’ve created us to be and what You’ve called us to do, as “ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">You said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:15-18).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">You said, “As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

I pray for Your Holy Spirit to burn in my spirit, as I seek to keep abiding in You with You abiding in me every step of the way and every moment of my days (John 15:4). As You are, so am I to be -- wherever I am and wherever You send me -- in my world (1 John 4:17) as an “ambassador for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20), as a son of God (Romans 8:16), as a carrier of the Presence and Spirit of Christ in my heart (Colossians 1:27).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Thank You so much for all who “Go” with me and who “Go” into their world for Your kingdom through their prayers, encouragement, and support. Thank You so much for those who “Go” when they speak into the lives of their families and children and coworkers and employees and neighbors as disciple-makers in all the myriad and multifaceted ways that You are still making disciples of all nations -- one soul at a time.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">The authority we carry at the heart of Your commission is the authority of Your love:</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). As we go in the power and authority of Your love, we know and trust in the Promise of Your Word, “Lover never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:8).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Just as it was with Your first disciples, let it be so with me and with every one of Your disciples today: “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs” (Mark 16:20). In the mighty name of Jesus, let there be “signs” of the power and love of God everywhere we “Go!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Good morning, Lord Jesus. My heart is open to You as I watch and wait for Your leading, for Your sheep hear Your voice and follow You (John 10:27). …</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">As I listen for the leading of Your Holy Spirit, what’s coming to my heart are the words, “I set choices before you. Seek Me and My guidance and I will lead you in every choice you make.” …</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Yes, Lord. Your Word from several Scriptures comes to mind:</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction” (Deuteronomy 30:15).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God” (Romans 8:14).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve … but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I choose You. I choose to follow You and serve You. I choose to seek the leading of Your Spirit and walk in the path of “newness of life” You set before me—morning by morning, step by step, one choice at time, on my journey with You today (Romans 6:4).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Just as Your Word continues to encourage Your people who are called by Your name to choose well each day:</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess” (Deuteronomy 5:32-33).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I’m trusting You and Your Spirit to guide me in every choice set before me today, just as You promised He would:</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“When He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). For the sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14). “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in (Your) name, will teach (me) all things and remind me of everything (You) have said to (me)” (John 14:26). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Good morning, Lord Jesus. I surrender all of me to all of You, as I begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. …</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The words of an old worship song from the earlier times of my deeper spiritual journey come to my heart this morning, “We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.” …</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And now this Scripture in alignment with this song in my heart:</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:3-6).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Align my spirit with Your Spirit, my heart with Your Heart, my will with Your Will, my ways with Your Ways. Make me one with You in every area of my life.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">As I’m aligned with You, then I can be rightly aligned with the relationships in my life, as You are align their spirit with Your Spirit, their heart with Your Heart, their will with Your Will, and their ways with Your Ways. Then, by “the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace,” we will be one with You and one with one another. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Then, You can send us out as one in the Spirit and one in the Lord into our world as “Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20)—rightly representing Your character in our hearts and moving in Your authority in our actions. By the power of Your grace at work within us, as one with You and one with one another, we will fulfill Your great vision for our lives:</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one—I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23).</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Lord Jesus, let it be so in me and in every one of Your disciples, as You unite us together with You and one another each day—"one in the Spirit” and “one in the Lord.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

And our destination is You -- to be conformed into the image of the Son of God (Romans 8:29). As we go our way, we discover You are our way -- “the Way and the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6). Our spiritual journey and adventure of faith is to overcome, to “grow up in all things into Him who is the head” in spiritual maturity, to learn to love, to be “transformed into (Your) same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (Ephesians 4:15; 2 Corinthians 3:18). For as You are, so are we to be in our world (1 John 4:17).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">As we journey “till the end,” our “end” is to be like You. As Your Word promises all who join in this daily journey, “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">That’s our “inheritance at the end of days” as we each choose each day to “arise” and “go (our) way till the end.” Lord, let it be so in me -- this day and every day -- as best as I can and all by Your grace. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:10-13).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Every day is a spiritual battle in the spiritual realm. But I thank You that the victory is won through the victory of the Cross and the Blood of Jesus! (Colossians 1:19-20). “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">And at the same time, our part is also to daily embrace and enforce the victory of the cross through our daily battles in our everyday world, as we take our stand to “stand against the wiles of the devil... that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Not in our might or our power, but by Your Spirit (Nehemiah 4:6) and all by Your grace, for apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">I praise You that we are not apart from You, that You are always with us (Matthew 28:20), always even within us (Colossians 1:27), by Your ever-abiding Presence (John 15:4) and Your ever-filling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). “He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world!” (1 John 4:4). And in the power of Your Presence, Your Word is continually fulfilled and enforced through the battles of our lives as we keep looking to You, standing in You, with You standing in us: “And the God of peace will crush Satan under (our) feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with (us)” (Romans 16:20).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">So as I fight my battles in the power of Your grace, as I take up “the weapons of our warfare (which) are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4), I take my stand in You and praise You for taking Your stand in me. With my heart entrusted to You and Your Spirit abiding in my heart (Romans 8:9), I am “clothed in Christ” (Galatians 3:26); I “put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh” (Romans 13:14).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">That’s the key to my daily victories in my daily battles. That’s Your battle plan and strategic strategy for embracing and enforcing the victory of the Cross by the Blood of Jesus in my life every day -- morning by morning, moment by moment, step by step on my journey through the spiritual warfare of this world: As I “put on the whole armor of God,” I “put on the Lord Christ.”</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">You are “The Whole Armor of God” (Ephesians 6:13). Every part of my armor is an expression of You and Your Presence with me and within me (Ephesians 6:14-20):</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my “Helmet of Salvation.” There is salvation in no other name (Acts 4:12). By grace through faith in You alone, am I saved (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8; Acts 16:31).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my “Breastplate of Righteousness.” Only through You, am I made right with God and cleansed of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Only through You can I enter the very Holy of Holies of the Presence of God (Hebrews 10:20), ascending in my spirit into Your Presence with clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3-4), as a child of God abiding in the righteousness of God, “For He who made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21) and even be “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my “Belt of Truth.” You alone are “the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6). You are the One who is “called Faithful and True” (Revelation 19:11). In You, I know the Truth and the Truth has set me free! (John 8:32). As You set me free, I am free indeed! (John 8:36)</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my “Shoes of Peace.” You “shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.” You are the “Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). You are the “God of Peace” (Philippians 4:9), the “Peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7), the “God of Peace (who) will crush Satan under (my) feet shortly” (Romans 16:20). You “keep (me) in Perfect Peace” with my mind fixed on You, trusting in You (Isaiah 26:3).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my “Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” You are The Word of God (John 1:1 and 1:14; Revelation 19:13). You are “the Word of God (who) is living and power, and sharper than any two-edged sword” exposing “all things that naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account” (Hebrews 4:12-13).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my “Shield of Faith.” You are my Faith in whom I stand to repel all the fiery darts and flaming arrows sent from my enemy. You are a “Shield to all who trust in (You)” (Psalm 18:30). In You, I “walk by faith, not by sight,” (2 Corinthians 5:7), “for by grace through faith” have I been saved (Ephesians 2:8).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Lord Jesus, You are my Mantle of Humility. You clothe me with Your mind and heart to “have this mind in (me) that was also in Christ Jesus, who ... humbled Himself” (Philippians 2:5-8). “For God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). By Your grace, I willingly choose to be desperately dependent upon You alone, for “apart from (You), I can do nothing” (John 15:5).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">Now, having put on the whole armor of God, clothed in You my Lord and Savior, may I obey Your command to go forth in this armor, “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18). May I “speak boldly, as I ought to speak” (Ephesians 6:20). And as I go, may I be found “speaking the truth in love” -- not just truth, not just love, but “speaking the truth in love” -- with Your character in my heart and your authority in my words (Ephesians 4:15).</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px;">That’s how “the battle belongs to the Lord!” (2 Chronicles 20:15) That’s how “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). That’s how God “gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Corinthians 15:57) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Be encouraged today.
