His Word for Today

This morning's verses talk about our refuge. Where do we go to daily for our spiritual guidance? Have we ever felt like we said or did something we shouldn't have, feeling ashamed of ourselves? This is perhaps because we want others to see us in certain ways, borne out of insecurity.  We need the Lord to battle and resolve these emotional issues. The Scriptures teach us that we are a spirit being with a soul clothed in a body. (Ref John 4:24, 1 Thessalonians 5:23) Our spirit

This morning's verses talk about how He leads us to fulfill the God given destiny.  He leads us through His voice. Therefore, it is critical that we learn and grow to hear His voice. Although this is a life long journey to understand, and learn more and more about how He speaks, one of the ways He speaks is through impressions. Moses heard His voice through the burning bush. Moses was called by the Lord to lead the Israelis out of Egypt in this event. What is He speaking to u

This morning's verses talk about seeking Him with all our hearts and we will find Him.  This is not necessarily about non-believers finding and encountering the one and only God but believers finding the truth that would give us the breakthroughs to rise to the next level. What are the areas we feel have been struggling but have not been able to breakthrough not knowing what to do? The key here to breakthrough is to keep on asking because He will answer. Sometimes in our walk

This morning’s verses talk about the boundaries He has for our lives on this earth. How far does He want us to go? As with Moses, the Lord spoke to him that he would not cross the Jordan river. If He works in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure, (Ref Philippians 2:13) then He would place the desires in our heart to go as far as He wants us to go and hand the button off to the successor.  Today, let us continue to hear Him speak to us. He will lead us to go as far

This morning’s verses continue to talk about hearing from God.  We may not see Him in a physical form but we can hear Him through an impression, and sometimes He may even use our five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) for this, which was through a fire in a burning bush in this chapter of the Bible.  Today, let us be open to His new ways of speaking to us.  May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning’s verses talk about hearing His voice.  The Israelis encountered the Lord in a burning bush not seeing Him physically but hearing from Him the ten commandments. What is He speaking to us today? Our experience with Him may not be physical or tangible but an impression in an intangible form. Considering that the Law was given in order to understand how sinful we are, making us sin conscious, (Ref Romans 3:20) we could receive an impression from the fire of His divi

This morning's verses talk about our obedience to His Word. His Word is wisdom for us and it should be where we go to for our final decision making. Is there anything that is keeping us from moving forward to be obedient to Him?  Are we afraid of making decisions that may isolate ourselves from others? Which would we rather have, peace in our soul that reflects our trust in Him (Ref Isaiah 26:3) or the world? (Ref Matthew 16:36) Today, let us focus on following Him Who is the

This morning’s Word continues to talk about taking more territories.  The essential step to take on more territories is to obey the Word of God exactly as they are revealed to us. What is He speaking to us today? It is important to focus on what He is speaking to us today, not yesterday as His mercies are new every morning. (Ref Lamentations 3:23) He may not direct us to a new career or calling, perhaps because He wants us to stay in the current position He has placed us, but

This morning’s verses talk about the Lord making our assignments more specific. How far are we to go and hand off to the next generation?  We may have received a vision from the Lord but He may not want us to experience all of them on this earth as He would like us to leave the legacy and hand off the vision to the next generation. It becomes important for us to humbly accept His assignments and His boundaries and stay within them so that the bigger picture of His plan can be

This morning’s verses talk about seeing the glimpse of what is to come in our walk with the Lord, His destiny for each one of us. What are the small spiritual victories that we experienced? These victories can turn into larger victories that can have profound impact on the people we are about to reach.  What are the desires in our hearts? (Ref Psalm 37:4) What do we see ourselves doing? This, together with victories can reveal how He would lead us in the coming days, weeks, m

This morning's verses talk about the giants that do not exist in the natural that we have created for ourselves to condemn ourselves. His Word is God breathed, (Ref 2 Timothy 3:16) which means that although they exist in the spiritual realm, they don't necessarily exist in the natural. At least, the giant human beings that existed in the Deuteronomy times don't physically exist in the current times. What is He teaching us for our application in the current times? Most Israeli

This morning's verses continue to talk about the glimpses of what is to come in our walk with the Lord. Once we are clear about our role in the Kingdom of God, all we have to focus on is to take on more territory.  We may struggle to understand the will of God for our lives for multiple seasons but once we are clear about our destiny, it becomes all about expanding our territory of influence. Our lives may become or seem somewhat dull but it is when self discipline, consisten

This morning's verses talk about the Lord showing us a glimpse of what is to come. He showed to the Israelis through Moses the victories they would experience in the promised land through Joshua.  What are the desires He placed in our hearts? (Ref Psalm 37:4) But are we frustrated because we don't get to experience our desires come to pass in the natural more often? There will be an increase in the next season of our walk with God.  Today, let us reflect on the victories we a

This morning's devotional talks about His plan being higher than our ways. Have we been struggling for breakthroughs only to find out that there was  a better way?  Moses and the Israelis were seeking a peace deal with Sihon king of Heshbon only to find that the Lord was leading the Israelis to conquer the land instead. What have we been striving and struggling so hard to open the door for breakthroughs when there are better ways to victory? But the Israelis still had to figh

This morning's verses talk about restoration through expanding the territories the Lord intends for us to occupy. It takes time for us to know the sweet spot of His plan for us to be at the center of His will. It is a journey of seeking and knowing His will, (Ref Matthew 7:7) trial and error (Ref Proverbs 24:16) to understand the gifts He has entrusted to us. But once we have come to a place of knowing His calling on our lives, a specific purpose, it is simply a matter of cha

This morning's verses talk about unnecessary battles that we fight simply out of pride. Are there any battles that we are fighting that are simply a waste of time?  The Lord is teaching us to drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. Arguments that take up our time that could be used for something productive is time wasted. (Ref Proverbs 17:14) If we hold onto offense, this is also a way to waste our time. When we overlook an offense, we are able to move on to spend our ti

This morning's verses talk about how He leads us  at times. He leads us through repetitive tasks. Also, there are battles or opportunities that He doesn't want us to fight.  Let us not be surprised when He is leading us to do tasks repetitively or when He keeps us from fighting in what seems like opportunities.  Today, let us continue to hear His voice for His fresh and new way of His guidance. He is about to do a new thing. (Ref Isaiah 43:19) May the Lord continue to richly

This morning’s verses talk about our motives. Where is our heart’s motives even if we may be doing the right thing? He judges our motives. (Ref Hebrews 4:12) Are we driven by fear or led by purely serving and obeying the Lord because we trust Him. If we trust in Him, we shall have peace because He gives to those who trust in Him. (Ref Isaiah 26:3) Today, let us assess our motives as we do the work for the Lord. Do we have peace? May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about the Israelis' unbelief. What unbelief is keeping us from stepping into the God given destiny?  As the Scriptures teach us, we are created in the image of God (Ref Genesis 1:27) and we are like Jesus (Ref 1 John 4:17). This literally means that we are more than enough already, whole. We have the mind of Christ (Ref 1 Corinthians 2:16) and hear His voice. (Ref John 10:27) Additionally, if we are speakers and fearful that someone may interrupt an

This morning’s verses talk about our need for mind renewal dealing with pride.  Are there any areas in our lives where we have become prideful, have chosen to become blind to His Wisdom that could lead us to experience breakthroughs? All that the Israelis needed was to believe in the victories the Lord would give them but they chose not to. It is important that we seek Him and we will find the Word that is needed for breakthroughs. (Ref Matthew 7:7-8) We may already have all
