What part of “I have forgiven thee” do you not understand?

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalms 103:1-3 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
What part of “I have forgiven thee” do you not understand? He said it in His Word, we need to believe it. I have forgiven you, I have healed you, I will cause you to prosper and gain wealth. Actually that’s pretty straight forward. Why is it so hard to believe? He said in Matthew 6:14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you”, in Exodus 15:26 “…for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”, in Nehemiah 2:20 “… The God of heaven, he will prosper us;… “, in Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom…”, in 1 Peter 2:24 “…who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness–by whose stripes you were healed.” And in many other places through out the Holy Scriptures. Notice also that these are in past tense – they are already done! Why is it so hard to believe? Quit listening to man and his doctrines of demons. Quit listening to those preachers who do NOT rightly discern the Word of God, Quit listening with your natural ears and listen with the ears of your spirit and get the Word of God in your heart – your inner most spirit!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You for making me one of Your children, for forgiving my transgressions and my iniquities. But father, You also said that You healed me of my diseases. Father, help me to understand that You have already done this, that it is not something You might do in the future. You also said you would prosper me and everything that I set my hand to. Father, help me to increase my faith and to receive that which You have already so graciously provided through Your Son, Jesus. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Alive in Christ

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:8-11 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Did you die in Christ so that you can live in Christ? We must understand that what happened to Jesus on the Cross that day happened for us. We must know who we are in and through Him. When we understand that it also happened already to us, that we were there on the cross with Him (by faith), then and only then will we consider ourselves dead to sin. Once you consider yourself dead to sin you will no longer commit it. You will realize that you have dominion over sin. This will only come about when you get real revelation knowledge (when you know, that you know, that you know, that you know, in your heart) of what Jesus did for you and not just “head” knowledge, memorizing and being able to regurgitate the scriptures is NOT revelation knowledge.

MY PRAYER…
Father, I pray that the eyes of our understanding be opened, that You fill our hearts with revelation knowledge of Jesus Christ and Him crucified for us. That we may know from our hearts (our spirit man) what happened to Him for us and that it also happened to us in Your eyes. Father, fill us with Your spirit that we may walk in the newness of life that only comes from the life giving power of Your Holy Spirit. Let that same life giving power that raised Jesus from the dead; live, dwell, abide, and make it’s permanent home in our hearts. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Justified

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:16 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Justified before God

Nothing in the Law (10 commandments) can justify you before God. Are you justified? Definition, Justified: To be in right standing before God, to be acquitted of all sins before God. Can you stand before the Creator of the Universe and be acquitted? There is only one thing you can do that will justify you before the Lord God Almighty. That one thing is to believe by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and what happened to Him for you on the Cross, and then accept Him as your Lord and Savior! All the works of the law (Religion and religious works, keeping the ten commandments, being good, doing good, even going to church regularly, etc.) that you do will not justify you before the Lord God Almighty nor will it stand the test of fire on the day of judgment. Only what you have done by faith in Jesus will remain. Knowing ‘about’ Him is NOT enough. You must have had a personal day to day relationship with Jesus. If you have, He will stand before the Father and say “Father, this is Pastor Duane (insert your name here if this true for you), he is one of mine. I have justified him before You!”

MY PRAYER…
Everlasting Father, may Your love for Your people continue to be burned into my spirit. May what You had Jesus do for “ME” that day on the Cross be forever engrained in my heart, may I never cease to remember and to give You thanks and praise for loving me so much before I ever loved You. Father, I thank You that I have been justified (2000 plus years ago) by the Blood of Your Only begotten Son and that by my faith in Him I can come boldly before Your Throne of grace and mercy and that I may partake of all the blessings of heaven here on earth. Through the name of Jesus, who loves me, I pray.
Amen

When Resistance Is Acceptable

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
1 Peter 5:8-9 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Resistance is acceptable as long as it toward the devil!
Resist the devil and he will flee. Notice that the verse says we must be self-controlled and alert! We must do our part first. Notice also that is says the devil is looking for someone whom he can devour. He can only do that if we allow him to! The devil (Satan not Lucifer) is real, whether you believe it or not. He and his power, and 1/3 of the angels that chose to follow him when he was cast out of heaven (He became Satan then –no longer Lucifer), are here on this earth and their only intention is to bring harm and discord to our lives. Satan is the father of all lies and the devil only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But let’s not spend our time worrying about him and what he’s doing. Notice it said that the devil was looking for whom he can devour. That means you must be able to be devoured or he can’t touch you! How do you stay un-devourable? Be COMPLETELY IN JESUS. Be so full of God, His Word, and the Holy Spirit that there just isn’t any room left for even the smallest things to scrunch in. Let’s just resist him and his demon cohorts and when we are tempted let’s just focus on Jesus. Jesus has already defeated Satan and his bunch, He’s the one who triumphed over Satan, hell, death, and the grave. He made a show of the devil openly and then Jesus gave us the keys to hell, death, and the grave. He gave us His Name to use to resist the devil. My victory is already assured me in and through Jesus, my Lord! Satan trembles at the name of Jesus and he will flee if he knows Jesus is living in you. You can’t make the devil run, but Jesus living and working inside you can. Just knowing about Jesus isn’t enough. It did help the seven sons of Sceva at all! They knew about Jesus and Paul, but the demons still tore them up! Because they did not know Jesus personally. Make sure you are abiding in the shadow of the Almighty and then Let him know Jesus is living in you!

MY PRAYER…
Thank you, Father God, for sending Your Son Jesus to break the evil one’s power over us. Through the death of Jesus and His triumph You have assured me that I can live life more abundantly, that I have power over the evil one through Jesus. Father I thank You that through Jesus I have a relationship and an everlasting covenant of life with You. Today, however, I thank You that You have made me victorious through Christ who strengthens me. In Jesus name, I pray.
Amen

Who’s Or What Word Are You Meditating On?

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 4:20-22 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
What or who’s word are you meditating on? Here is part of the secret of The Secret Place of God. God tells us (Not me, not your Pastor, not some televangelist) in His Word that we are to meditate on His Word (God’s Holy Word) day and night. That we are to keep it in front of our eyes always. And then He tells us why. If only we would understand what He is trying to get across to us here! Read that last line, Proverbs 4:22, very carefully, then read it again and let those words sink into not just your mind, but your heart, your very being, your spirit man. “For they (the Words of God) are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” Are you in need of physical healing from one thing or another? The Word of God is LIFE and it is HEALTH to those that find it. You can’t find it if your Bible lays on the shelf all week while you are watching worldly sitcoms or movies about demons and witchcraft (Harry Potter and the likes). You can’t get healed if you’re spending all your time watching SOAP Operas on TV or Sci-Fi movies or death and destruction shows. What ever you are feeding on is what will be in your heart! You can’t get healed if you don’t meditate the Word of God and allow it to penetrate your very soul and being. You can’t get healed if you don’t spend time with The Healer (Jesus). All the time, NOT just when you need a bail out healing from God. The Word must so impregnate your spirit man that those words cause a manifestation of healing from the spirit realm into the natural realm of you being, your flesh man.

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, give unto us the wisdom and revelation into the meaning of what you have said here in Your Word. Help us, Father, to understand that You are giving us a key to divine healing, divine health, and long life. Father, place that revelation so deep into our spirits that we will never forget it. As we read and meditate Your Word, Father, increase our capacity to understand what You are saying to us, that we may make it life and health to all our flesh. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen

Where do you make your permanent dwelling?

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalms 91:1 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Notice that God, my God, is THE MOST HIGH GOD! That means there is NO other god bigger than my GOD! That means there isn’t no other circumstance, sickness, disease, thing, or god that is bigger or more powerful than my God! He is THE MOST HIGH GOD!!!
Where do you abide – make your permanent dwelling? Do you dwell (live and abide) in the Secret Place of “El Elyown”, the Most High God? Do you dwell (live and abide) under the shadow of “El Shaddai”, The Almighty God or are you living in the shadow of the circumstances that are of the world around you? No matter how we are attacked or persecuted if we are in that secret place of the Most High God no evil can befall us, no foe can touch us. Look closely at this verse. My God is the Most High God, there isn’t anybody, no other God that’s as High as He is! He’s the Almighty, the most powerful, The All in All. He’s anything and everything you could possibly want or need! But you must abide in Him, you must walk and live in His shadow if you expect to receive from Him. I have found the secret of the “Secret Place”!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father God, thank You for being my Fortress and my Refuge in life’s storms. Thank You Lord that You have covered me over and have delivered me from all evil. Lord thank You that I can abide in that secret place with You at all times and that You are my comfort and my strength when I am weak. Thank You Lord for placing Your angels with charge over me to keep me in all my ways. Lord, thank You that when I set my love upon You, You deliver me from life’s trials and that You know my name! That You have called me by Your name. Through Jesus, my Lord and Savior, I offer my thanks and praise forever.
Amen

Jesus: The Real Reason for the Season

First, Let me say this: I know that this is not the true actual birthday of Jesus Christ our Lord, He was not born in the winter. But it is the day Christians have adopted and for centuries now celebrated in remembrance of His birth. I don’t care what the original non-Christian holiday or celebration was, that no-longer matters. It is now Christmas, with a capital “C” meaning “CHRIST IN US.” The word Christmas is a shortened version of the term Christ-mass or the story of Christ. No other religion has a day or holiday called Christmas. A holiday that is ALL about ‘giving’. A day remembered because God gave us His very best, His only ‘Son’. And this day needs to be referred to by it’s ONLY name and that name is “Christmas.” This is not just some holiday that you can call Happy Holidays, or Kwanza (an FBI created holiday), or xmas(removing Christ from the holiday!), season’s greetings, or the time of the season. It is called “Christmas”, “Christmas”, “Christmas” with a big capital “C” whether those of the world like it or not, it’s Christmas!! If that offends you then maybe you’re living in the wrong country or the wrong century, or even the wrong world! I for one will not bow to the world’s way. If you don’t like our Christmas then maybe you should go back to the country of your choice, but leave our Christmas holiday alone. If someone says happy holidays to me, I will turn around and face them face to face and say “No, It’s ‘Merry Christmas’, it’s Christmas with a capital C.” Check it out “”
Did you know that some try to say the x is Greek short hand for the word Christ in xmas. Well, that may or may not be so, but as far as I am concerned if you can’t write out Christ for the world to see and read, then you must be ashamed of Him. Do you know what the Word says about being ashamed of Him? If you deny Him to the world, He will deny you before the Father. And that means you spend eternity in Hell!

Now for today’s verse:
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:11-14 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
The Savior is born this day. Do you suppose those shepherds of old thought they needed a Savior? What is a savior anyway? Did they comprehend what was being conveyed to them? I don’t know about them, or about you, but if the Angel of The Lord came and spoke to me, I think that I should believe what I was hearing! And if that wasn’t enough, then the whole host of heavenly angels showed up and began praising God! Do you think maybe we should be praising God at this time also. It’s not about gifts and buying and commercialism, it is about ‘The Gift’! Its about giving, God gave us His very best. He emptied heaven of His most valuable gift and ALL for mankind!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You for the revelation of who Your Son really is to me, of the revelation of what today is really all about. Father, I thank You that, when the time was right, You spoke by Your Spirit unto me and revealed Your Son to me. No man made this known unto me, but the Spirit of God revealed it unto my spirit. Father I thank You for saving me, for giving me eternal life with You, for making a way for me where there was none. Father, that I may come boldly before Your Throne of Grace because Jesus, who was born on this day so long ago, has made a way for me. Father continue to reveal unto me the mighty works of Your Son Jesus. Through the glorious name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

Trust in the Lord

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
Proverbs 29:25 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, your soul, and your very being.
What man should we fear? No man! Fear is such a paralyzing emotion. It robs us of courage and vitality, it removes our decision-making ability, and our strength. It causes us to do things we know we shouldn’t do and that we always regret afterwards. Fear is the opposite of faith and it steals our happiness and joy. Courage helps us step out of fear’s paralysis and into victory. But this kind of courage only comes to us when we fully understand our position in Christ. If we are in faith and trusting God there can be no room for fear in our lives. Satan cannot take our mind, our attitude, and most of all, he cannot take our relationship with God unless we let him do so. A relationship given to us through Jesus, as long as we trust in the Lord our God and stay in faith. Perfect love casts out all fear. And there is NO room for fear when your spirit is full of ‘Faith’, faith in God and what He is and can do!

MY PRAYER…
Mighty Redeemer, thank You for triumphing over all that I would in the natural man fear. Thank you that You have not only given me Jesus in whom I trust, but a hope by which I can live victoriously. Thank You that you have not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind through my Conquering King and Lord, Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus, I thank you.
Amen

Does your life seem empty?

You know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
1 Peter 1:18-19 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Does your life seem empty and void? Maybe it’s time to fill it with Jesus and the Love of God the Father!
If value is determined by price, then we are incredibly valuable to God. God took the most precious, priceless treasure of heaven and sent Him to be the remittance to buy us out of sin and death and adopt us into His family. Silver and gold pale in comparison to that value. He sent His Word, manifest in the flesh, His only begotten Son, to be the firstborn from the dead. Born of a virgin by the seed of God, a flesh and blood man like us, filled with the Holy Spirit of God at His baptism in the Jordan, the only sinless man to ever walk the face of the earth. He sent Him, Jesus, to buy us back with His Life. We were redeemed, bought back by His Blood. Blood sacrificed on the Holy Altar of God, that we might become the righteousness of God in and through Him, Jesus. Receive it, it’s yours, He gave it to you. Only by Faith can you do so, you can NOT earn it!

MY PRAYER…
Precious Father, may I live today and everyday to become fully aware of the awesome price You paid for my life. May my words, thoughts and actions be permeated with a sense of worth and Holiness that comes from my fellowship with You through Jesus. Not so that I may seem important, but so that I may live in Your Holiness and bring honor to Your precious gift to me. Through Him that loves me, my Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen
