I just heard this in a teaching and it really struck me
“You are not what others say you are. You are what God says you are”

Today’s choice ⭐️

Good morning ☀️
Today’s devotional is called, “Possess Your Promised Land.” The scripture is Numbers 33:51-53~ When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you… and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

God has given you a promised land.
🙌🏼A place flowing with milk and honey, where your every need can be met.
🙌🏼A place where you can keep sin underfoot as you rule and reign with Christ.
🙌🏼A place where no weapon formed against you will prosper.
🙌🏼A place where you are seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above principalities and powers-far from oppression.

As you study the Word of God, you’ll find that’s an accurate description of the kind of victory you should be experiencing in Christ—not in the sweet by-and-by—but in the right here, right now.

You may say, “Yes, that sounds nice in theory, but I’m dealing with reality here. The rent is due, and all I see is sickness, oppression and fear. This doesn’t look like much of a promised land to me.”

That’s because you’re still letting the devil live there! He’s not just going to pack up and go home, you know, just because God has promised you victory. You have to kick him out.

But don’t let that scare you. God has given you the power to do it. Remember what Jesus said? He said, “Behold, I give unto you the 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).

What’s more, the devil is totally unarmed! Colossians 2:15 says, “[God] disarmed the principalities and powers ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in… [the cross]” (Amplified Bible). You have absolutely no reason to cower before the devil. Jesus defeated and disarmed him through His death, burial and resurrection. The devil can’t defeat you unless you let him. All he can do is make empty threats.

But beware! Empty threats can stop you cold if you believe them. So don’t. Believe the Word of God instead. Use the Word and the name of Jesus to drive the devil out of every last detail of your life.

Don’t let him dwell in your territory. Force him to pack up and go home! Remember; God is good! God is for you!! God is faithful so send that devil packin’ and start possessing your promised land now!

Let’s pray; Dear Jesus, thank You for giving me the promised land where my every need is met, the devil is under my foot as I rule and reign with you and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Lord, thank You that You have given me the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me. Thank You, Lord, for disarming the principalities and powers ranged against me and for making a bold display and public example of them and triumphing over them. What the enemy has meant for my harm, You Lord, are using for my good. You are my help, my wisdom, my strength and my victory. Because of Your finished work on the cross, I stand on victory ground today. I do not need to fight for victory. Any giant of accusation, intimidation, condemnation, disease and debt will fall flat before me! I am more than a conqueror through Your love. I am blessed and highly favored. I believe I receive. In Jesus Mighty Name! Amen 🙏🏼

Have a wonderful day❤️

Good morning ☀️
Today’s devotional is called, “Silence the Critics.” The scripture is, 1 Peter 2:15~ For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.

When people start to criticize you and persecute you because you live by faith, the natural human response is to want to strike back...to start dishing out a little criticism of your own. Maybe if they get a taste of their own medicine, they’ll shut their mouths, you think.

But you know what? They won’t. Your words will just add fuel to their fire and they’ll criticize you even harder and louder than they did before.

According to the Word of God, however, there is a way to silence them. Not by arguing with them. Not by defending yourself. But by keeping quiet and continuing to do the good works God has called you to do.

Jesus was highly criticized by the religious establishment of His day. But He never fought back. Instead, Acts 10:38 says He simply went about doing good.

When people start riding you about the faith life, be like Jesus and just keep on blessing people. Keep on praying for people, pray for the people criticizing you, it’s not an easy thing to do but remember they are oppressed by the devil and God never promised it would be easy…BUT He did promise to be with you, so just do it! Keep doing what God has called you to do. Pray for them and don’t worry about them…they’re God’s problem and He will handle them.

That will aggravate the devil more than anything because his primary purpose is to make you ineffective for the kingdom of God. He wants you to get so frustrated and wrapped up in the criticism. He wants to distract you, to get your mind off the job God has given you. He really wants you to quit.

Don’t do it! Do not quit! Instead, follow the instructions in 2 Timothy 3:14;
🙌🏼Continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of.
🙌🏼Silence the ignorant criticism of men by continuing to do good.
🙌🏼Continue to live by faith.

…And when all their foolish words have faded away, you’ll still be standing strong💪🏼

Remember; God is good! God is for you!! God is faithful…so keep praying and He will take care of the details!!!

Let’s pray; Dear Jesus, thank You that even in the face of adversity I can stand strong in You. You are my strength and my fortress and You deliver me from every affliction that sets itself against me. Lord, help me to keep my eyes on You and not my critics. Fill me with Your wisdom for this situation, give me words to speak when I need to speak and the ability to stay quiet when nothing needs to be said. I rejoice in the fact that You are always with me-I will not fear what man can do or say to me. Thank You, Jesus, for delivering me from every enemy or situation that would come against me. I am blessed, highly favored and more than a conqueror through You, Lord. I believe I receive. In Jesus Mighty Name! Amen 🙏🏼

Have a wonderful day❤️

When I hop on here, Facebook always asks me what’s on my mind. Well…that could be dangerous lol. But today my family and I had a debate about how to say wash. As in, “I’m going to wash the car.” Or, “I’m going to wash laundry.” I say wash. My husband and son says warsh. That is not a word. I don’t even know how to spell it! lol. What do you and your family say?
