His Word for Today

This morning's verses talk about the desires and wills of our hearts. He works in us to will and to do for His pleasure. (Ref Philippians 2:13) We may have lots of conflicting emotions, thoughts, wants that are going on in our hearts that may be fighting against the desires He placed in us but we have the mind of Christ. (Ref 1 Corinthians 2:16) What desires has he placed in our hearts? Because we have the mind of Christ, we should know them.  Today, let us trust the Lord tha

This morning's verses talk about rejoicing before the Lord.  The Lord is commanding us to rejoice always even in the challenging moments. It is an opportunity for us to deepen our fellowship with the Lord seeking His guidance each step, (Ref Psalm 37:23) learning new wisdom, preparing for the next stage in our lives with the Lord.  (Ref Luke 4:1-13, James 1:2-4) Today, let us continue to deepen our fellowship with the Lord. What is He speaking to us to do today? This is one o

This morning's verses talk about the Lord's guidance being specific. We can seek His guidance to be specific. Although He has given us freewill, do we have peace about our choices? (Ref Colossians 3:15) Today, let us thank God that He sent His only Son to be our Savior (Ref John 3:16) so that we can make choices according to the peace He gives us. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about knowing where He wants us to go.  We may think that we have arrived and there is nothing more from the Lord. But that is not the truth as the Lord has more for us. Israelis thought that they had arrived and were ignorant spiritually of something better for them, the promised land.  Today, let us seek His guidance to receive more from the Lord. We are not to stay where we are but to advance to receive something better to fulfill the God given d

This morning's verses talk about dealing with ungodliness in our hearts. The Lord is commanding us to destroy, tear down, smash all ungodliness in our hearts. In the New Testament days we live in, He is interested in our hearts being transformed as disciples of Christ. He wants to take more territories of our souls, which is mind, will and emotions. (Ref Matthew 28:19-20) Today, let us envision all ungodliness in our hearts destroyed, torn down and smashed, and see our hearts

This morning's verses talk about taking more territories.  Israelis gained victories over territorial lands but the Lord wants to take territories in our hearts in the New Testament days.  We are to renew our minds (Ref Romans 12:1-2) and reach out to non believers. (Ref Mark 16:15) Today, let us ask the Lord what areas of our mind He wants us to renew. There is nothing to add to what He has already given us. Let us simply receive His Word into our hearts. He is the Word. (Re

This morning's verses talk about receiving every place our foot treads on.  Israelis gained victories over territorial lands but the Lord wants our hearts in the New Testament days.  We are to renew our minds (Ref Romans 12:1-2) and reach out to non believers. (Ref Mark 16:15) Today, let us ask the Lord what areas of our mind He wants us to renew. There is nothing to add to what He has already given us. Let us simply receive His Word into our hearts. He is the Word. (Ref John

This morning’s verses talk about our hearts for the Lord.  As in the days of Deuteronomy, we no longer need to strive for the blessings as we have already received them. (Ref Ephesians 1:3) Because we have already received them in the spirit, everything starts from the spirit, soul, then onto body. (Ref 1 Thessalonians 5:23) Our hearts for the Lord are through faith and rest. (Ref Hebrews 4:3) For example, we are created in His image (Ref Genesis 1:27) and are like Christ. (R

This morning’s verses talk about the wilderness experience of the Israelis before entering into the promised land. One of the reasons why we experience wilderness is because of the test we need to pass just like Jesus did before He went on to begin His public ministry. (Ref Luke 4) Today, let us choose to pass the tests the Lord is giving to us so that we may proceed to the promised land the Lord has prepared for each one of us. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning’s verses talk about His grace which He revealed as the Israelis were released from Egypt into Wilderness.  We experience salvation through faith in His grace. (Ref Ephesians 2:8) Faith is about believing in what He has already accomplished.

We can then experience the supernatural, abundant life, Christ died to give us.  May th

This morning’s verses talk about the Israelis having grown in numbers despite being persecuted in Egypt.  His plans prevail no matter how challenging the circumstances we face are. In other words, our growth, success, prosperity does not depend on the environment we surround ourselves with, the pressures we face, but on His faithfulness. Because He has given us the power to enjoy challenges, (Ref James 1:2) we can even experience better results.  Today, let us not look to cir

This morning's verses talk about interceding and praying for the people around us.  The Scriptures teach us to pray in tongues when we do not know what to pray about. (Ref Romans 8:26) Do we understand the very needs of the people that need our prayers? The Scriptures teach us to be quick to listen. (Ref James 1:19) Today, let us intercede for others in prayer. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about the Lord being our inheritance.  When the Lord welcomed back the prodigal son, He told him that all He has is his. (Ref Luke 15:31) The Bible also teaches us that we are coheirs with Christ. (Ref Romans 8:17) This is an amazing and overwhelming truth. We receive everything from the Lord including Himself.  Today, let us remember that we have more than enough because of the Lord. Our part is to be a blessing to others. (Ref Genesis 12:2-3, Gala

This morning’s verses talk about the Word of God being able to be carried around with ease on tablets of stone.  Scriptures say that the Word of God is now written on our hearts. (Ref 2 Corinthians 3:3) It is within us in this day and age after Jesus died on the cross for our sins. This is how the Holy Spirit would reveal to us the Word of God, and we can confirm them by going through the Scriptures from the Bible.  Today, let us remind ourselves that the Word of God is in us

This morning's devotional talks about the Israelis complaining in the wilderness that the Lord is not capable of bringing them into the promised land.  Are we complaining to the Lord that He is not answering our prayers, not seeing our desires fulfilled? The Lord says in the Scriptures that the reason why they couldn't enter was because of their unbelief. (Ref Hebrews 3:19) For them it was the giants whom they thought were stronger than them. How about for us? Who are the gia

This morning's verses talk about the truth and the promise He has already given to us. Our role as believers is to take possession of what He has already given to us. The Lord wants us to take more territory of our souls. He wants us all to grow spiritually and others around us to know Him and grow accordingly.  Today, let us seek His guidance in terms of how we can grow spiritually. Because we have received His love, we are to share with others what He has taught us. (Ref 1

This morning's verses talk about preparation before breaking through to the next season in life.  Moses went up Mount Sinai, remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights, did not eat food or drink water, then the 10 commandments were given. Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days tempted by the devil but then proceeded to begin His public ministry. (Ref Luke 4) Wilderness experience is a preparation, a set up for the next season in life.  Today, let us continue to pre

This morning's verses talk about His righteousness that gives us the victory. We can rest in the truth that when we believe in His righteousness we can experience His rest. (Ref Hebrews 4:3) When we receive, believe and confess that we are like Christ, (Ref 1 John 4:17) that we have the spirit of focus already in us already, (Ref Philippians 3:13) we can experience change effortlessly, having focus in our walk with Christ.
