EMBEACING NEW THINHS

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Monday 6th June 2016

Topic: Embracing New Things

Text: "Remember ye not the former things, neither
consider the things of old" (Isaiah 43:18).

Accepting change can be tough. It’s why some
people attend dead churches, listen to dry
sermons, and refuse to open their heart to
anything fresh. Sometimes we get stuck with
what we are used to because it feels safe. When
God began to prophesy to Israel about their
coming Messiah, He told them that there were
some methods under the old covenant that were
going to be abolished. When Jesus came, they
had a hard time accepting Him because He came
in a package different from what they were used
to. They got so used to a certain method and
preference that they couldn’t see God in
anything outside the limitations they created.
We often do the same thing. We like certain
music, preachers, and types of churches, and
often when God begins to raise up fresh voices
and expressions, we can’t flow with them. That
doesn’t mean we accept anything that comes
along, but combined with proper discernment, we
need to realize that God isn’t going to do
everything according to our preferences. Don’t
get stuck in the former today, and ask God to
teach you how to embrace the fresh things He
wants to bring so you can walk in the fullness of
what He has for you!

PRAYER
Father, teach me how to flow with the fresh
things You are bringing into my life. I choose to
be open to change and pray that You would help
me discern the new and not be limited by the old
that I may walk in Your plan for me! Amen.

RECEIVING THE DOUBLE PORTION

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Friday 3rd June 2016

Topic: Receiving Double Portion

Text: "For your shame ye shall have double; and for
confusion they shall rejoice in their portion:
therefore in their land they shall possess the
double: everlasting joy shall be unto them" (Isaiah
61:7).

God always gives back to us when we give to
Him. This becomes even more powerful when we
give to God from a place of great sacrifice.
Sometimes the sacrifice is being ridiculed by
family and friends for what you believe, but God
will stand up for you. He won’t let you be
accused or mistreated for serving Him without
bringing a payback
blessing into your life, and those blessings come
with a double price tag attached to them! God
pays double when we are willing to be shamed
for following His ways. God considers your work
for His Kingdom important, and while we do it
joyfully with gratitude God does see how much
effort you put into it. While we don’t arrogantly
expect payback from God because He has
already given us everything, we know God is a
giver. He first gave Jesus, and then we give back
to Him through our love and heart of
unconditional service. For that service, God then
gives to us again, and the cycle keeps going! His
promise is that you will not suffer shame without
possessing a double blessing in your life. So get
ready, the double blessing is coming your way.

PRAYER
Father, I receive Your double blessing for my life.
Thank You, Lord, for giving to me, and I ask that
You will help me find many ways to give myself
and my possessions sacrificially back to You. I
love You, Lord! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today be fixed in your faith. Be fixed in your faith and in your mind that highest heart's desire will be your outcome. There is outcome and there is process in My kingdom. As you cooperate with My process you will come to your outcome. Expecting to have an outcome without the due process of My kingdom is not faith it is wishful thinking. There is a difference between religious vanity and manifesting the substance. Being double minded will not produce in your life. Being double minded will only result in going round in circles and never seeing positive change take place. Begin by making up your mind and your heart where you want to go in life and what you want the outcome to look like. Refuse to conjure up some anemic idea of what breakthrough looks like. Believe for the impossible. Believe for the improbable. Get firmly fixed in your mind with definite conviction that all things are possible and that possibility is your portion and not denial or shortcoming.

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today that My blessings are overtaking you. When you seek the kingdom, beloved - the kingdom is seeking you. As you hearken to My voice and heed My commandments and follow My directives the blessings that you expect and long for will come on you and overtake you in the way. This is My anointed process. This is the level of cooperation that is involved in bringing every good thing and every beneficial resource online in your life. Are you done with lack, and deficit and detriment in your life? Things are the way they are because of what you are doing. If you want something different you must do something different. My voice is speaking to you every moment of every day. My sound is going forth into all the earth and into your soul and your spirit. Hearken to My sound. Respond to My voice. Refuse to accept the lie that you cannot hear or have not heard.

You must be willing to get out beyond your understood principles and patterns of behavior that have not served you. Say of your soul "I am ready for change - I am willing to change". I am the Changeless One says the Father. I am changeless, yes but I require of you to live in a constant state of change, flexibility and yieldedness to My heart and My mind that is directing you. Command your eyes to see. Command your ears to hear. See, and hear what My Spirit is saying. I will be the voice speaking over your shoulder saying "this is the way - walk ye in it..." As you do so miracles and signs and wonders will attend your every step. Others will look on and see My favor at work in your life. They will look on and wonder and some will look on and resent the fact that I am blessing and bringing you to breakthrough. Just love them and speak truth to them when they ask. This is what the life of being a disciple involves and includes. Are you a disciple or a mere follower? The answer to that question makes all the difference in your life.

START DANCING AND SINGING

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Monday 30th May 2016

Topic: Start Dancing And Singing

Text: "Let them praise his name in the dance… " (Psalms
149:3).

One thing Satan hates most is when we praise
God during the attacks he is trying so hard to
impose. Nothing feels worse to a would-be
attacker than a strategic plan foiled. You can
almost picture it—the devil calculates what he is
sure will rip the rug out from under you. Right
when he is about to do his own version of the
victory dance, you start dancing to God! You can
almost hear him squeal, “What? How can you be
dancing? You are supposed to be crying!” This is
just about the biggest mockery in the halls of
hell. Psalm 149:3 tell us to dance to the Lord,
while verse 7 gives the results of it. It says, “to
execute vengeance upon the heathen.” Now, we
don’t wrestle against people—we wage warfare
with evil spirits. Our dance executes revenge
upon demons. Right when they expected victory,
you got immediate revenge because they
couldn’t get you down! The devil knows more
than anyone that if he can get you down, your
potential to get frustrated with God goes up
exponentially. However, he also knows if you
praise when it would be easy to feel down, then
Jehovah God gets involved!
This is why we don’t just dance when things are
going great. Dancing to the Lord liberates you,
and Satan hates it. Go ahead, dance a little more
today and watch the devil lose a foothold over
you!

PRAYER
Hallelujah Lord, I dance and praise Your Name
today! As I dance and
leap, I thank You that joy and liberty fill my heart
and every work of the
devil is destroyed! In the Name of Jesus, amen!

THE PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY

The Sovereign LORD says today there is no lack in heaven. There is no lack in heaven and no lack in Me. Because I am IN YOU there is supply IN YOU for every need and every deficit. You may find yourself commiserating in the economies of man but it is the economy of heaven that determines your funding and the meeting of every need. I will meet your need according to My riches in glory. This is not some far off repository. The glory that you bank into and pray into is the glory that is on the inside of you right now. Your hope and your miracle is on the inside of you. That is where My throne is and where My kingdom is. You need look no further than where I am seated on the throne of your heart. The death of the cross was the price that I paid to be seated and enthroned in your heart. From there I act and move and answer every cry of your heart.

Look no further says the LORD for I am in you. The fullness of My kingdom and the answer to every prayer is WITHIN you. Every prayer that you could conceivably pray in your lifetime resides in embryonic form in the womb of your human spirit where My Spirit broods, hovers and conceives. All things are possible. Nothing is impossible. All things are yours for all things are Mine and I have taken that which is Mine and given it to you. That is My unequivocal promise. No caveats, no exclusionary fine print - just come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will ease your burden and grant your request. Come boldly. Come expectantly. Yield fully. Hear what My Spirit is saying to you and act accordingly and you will in nothing be ashamed.

POWER FOR TOTAL VICTORY

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

Teusday 24th May 2016

Topic: Power For Total Victory

Text: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on
serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you (Luke 10:19).
Life definitely isn’t a problem-free bed of roses!
While we know this is true, we also shouldn’t
expect it to be a bed of poison ivy either! As
believers we need to look at our lives and know
that we have the ability to overcome the
problems that are caused by demonic powers.
We shouldn’t live in fear of some pending attack
lurking around the corner. We need a stronger
mind-set that is confident that Jesus Christ will
enable us to live in victory above these things.
Jesus told His disciples that they could walk
over the power of the devil. He reiterated to
them that nothing has the power to harm them.
This explains why He could escape the hands of
His would-be killers early in His ministry (see
Luke 4:30). It explains why Peter could be
broken out of prison by an angel just before his
scheduled execution (see Acts 12). I once heard
someone say, “If the devil could kill you, he
would have already done so, but the fact that he
hasn’t means he cannot!”
We need more established confidence today that
we have the power to walk over the attacks of
demons rather than them walking over us. Know
what belongs to you today, because the devil
and all his power is under your feet!

PRAYER
Lord, I thank You that I have authority over the
problems of the enemy. I know that no demonic
power has any ability to harm me or my family
today! I am covered by the blood of Jesus and I
live in victory! In the Name of Jesus, amen
