” The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”( Proverbs 10:22 NKJV).

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” ( James 1:17 NKJV).

God’s goodness gives you power to resist temptation because temptation loses some of its attraction when you truly believe God is not withholding anything good from you. Satan’s strategy or I prefer to call him “The Dumb Devil is like a fisherman hiding a hook beneath attractive bait. He shows you what you can gain now while hiding what it may cost you later. But James reminds us that God is never the source of evil. God may allow a trial to strengthen you, but the enemy wants to use that same pressure to tempt you into compromise. The question is not merely, “What do I want?” but, “Where will this choice take me?”

Temptation often begins with a legitimate desire that gets pulled outside God’s boundaries. The desire for comfort can become laziness. The desire for possessions can become greed. The desire for intimacy can become immorality. The enemy does not need to manufacture every desire; he simply tries to attach the wrong opportunity to something already stirring inside you. That is why spiritual victory requires more than following your feelings. Sometimes faith means telling yourself “no” because God has already said “no.” Your emotions may be loud, but God’s Word must have the final vote.

When temptation comes, remember who God is. His goodness has not changed because your circumstances became difficult. Like the sun that keeps shining even when the earth turns away from it, God remains faithful even when shadows appear in your life. Keep your heart facing Him. Fill your mind with His Word and answer temptation the way Jesus did: “It is written.” God has promised to provide a way of escape, so you never have to accept the dumb devil’s bait as though it were your only option. You belong to God, you have been given new life, and by His strength you can choose what leads to freedom instead of what produces bondage.
You do not have to bite the bait—the goodness of God gives you every reason to trust Him, reject compromise, and choose the life He has prepared for you.

Let’s pray:

Almighty Father God in the name of Jesus through the Holy Spirit, Hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in Heaven. Father, help me trust Your goodness when temptation makes sin look attractive, and give me strength to recognize the bait, remember Your Word, and choose obedience. Keep my heart turned toward You and lead me in Your way of life and freedom. In Jesus’ name, I do pray and declare it all. Blessed are we and blessed we will always be and to our Lord Jesus Christ be all the Glory. Amen.

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

GOD sees, and knows everything,you can’t hide anything from Him, He even knows what you’re thinking.

” Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?  If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.”( Psalms 139 : 7-12 NKJV).

” Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.  For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”(Galatians 6:7-10 NKJV).

” Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”( Matthew 12:34-37 NKJV).

” Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”(Ephesians 4:29-32 NKJV).

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV]

REJOICE in the Lord, and piss that dumb devil off.

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.” ( Psalms 118:24 NKJV).

God is telling us ,that He made this day,and He wants us to be happy, and celebrate.

“I REJOICE at Your word As one who finds great treasure.” (Psalms 119 : 162 NKJV).

” I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.  I will be glad and REJOICE in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.”( Psalms 9:1-2 NKJV).

“REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”( Philippians 4 :4-9 NKJV).

So no matter what, is happening in your life, as a child of God . Romans 8:28 NKJV says this: ” And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. “

” pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ( 1 Thessalonians 5 :17-18 NKJV).

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,  as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,  by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”( 2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV).

FINALLY,
Romans 12:9-12 NKJV SAYS:
” Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;  REJOICING IN HOPE, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; “

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [ Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV].

Sending the Word of God
Psalm 107:20
He SENT his Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

● When was the last time we SENT the Word of God into a situation or circumstance?
● You can SEND a Word of Salvation, Healing, Deliverance , Prosperity, Protection, Provision in the Name of Jesus, and the List goes on.

Job 22:28 said :
You shall also DECREE a thing, and it shall be established unto you: and the light shall shine upon your ways.
● We send forth the Word of God when we decree the promises of God in the situation and the circumstance, and in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 55:10-11 says:
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,
So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I SENT it.

● Remember the Centurion In Matthew Ch-8. He said to Jesus in verse eight… “speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.”
● In other words or to paraphrase he saying just SEND the Word only and my servant shall be healed.
● We can do the same thing in the Almighty Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
● The promises of God are never out of reach. We have them by Faith in Him. Continue practicing sending the Word with Faith, and you are Blessed to do so. Amen !

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV].

continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.  It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.”(Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV)

Bethany Baird said, “All of our worries can be put to rest as we believe God’s promise and trust that He will make our paths straight.”

” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5: 6-11 NKJV).

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”( Proverbs 4:7 NKJV).

Wisdom, how do we get it and use it? First start with talking to your Father in Heaven in prayer. Next start reading your Bible and Proverbs is a great place to start. You will learn the reason for Proverbs. You will learn to listen to wisdom. You will learn the benefits of wisdom. How to use wisdom. How to cherish wisdom. How to stay on the path of wisdom. How to stay focused on wisdom. We all get confused at times on which way to go. Trust and have faith that our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST has our back and will direct our steps.

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” [ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV].

IF GOD TELLS YOU TO BE STRONG, JUST BE STRONG.

” Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”( Deuteronomy 31: 6-8 NKJV).

” Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.  Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”( Joshua 1:6- 9 NKJV).

” Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;  praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—”( Ephesians 6:10-18 NKJV).

” For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. “[ Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV].

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.  I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”( John 14:15- 18 NKJV).

” Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,  who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.  For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.  Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 

And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.  For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,  who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.” (2 Corinthians 1: 3-11 NKJV).

LET’S  PRAY 🙏🏽
  HEAVENLY FATHER, Thank you, for this day,that you have made. We will rejoice and be exceedingly glad in it. Thank you for the plans you have for us ,plans to prosper us,and not to harm us. Plans to give us hope and a future ,as you say in Jeremiah 29:11.  Thank you  for the air we breathe, and every breath that you allow us to take. Thank you that we don’t have to face today or tomorrow with doubts about our basic values and without a sense of your will for our lives.

Stir us up to live your will and obey your Scriptures so that nothing can make us stumble. Empower us with your Spirit and guide us with your truth so that we may  perfectly reflect your character, and personality in our lives, Lord thank you for Your healing touch on every part of our lives – both spiritually, mentally, and physically. Lord You know all the little niggles and pains that we are  going through at this moment, and I pray for Your healing touch upon every area of our  lives in general.. and for relief from the aches, pains and problems that we  have in our bodies,and  in our lives ,we thank you for hearing our prayers,as your word says, In  Matthew 21:22 KJV : ” And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” IN  JESUS’S MIGHTY NAME, WE PRAY, AMEN.

” Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3 : 20-21 NKJV].

God wants His children to be healthy, and prosperous.

” This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV).

” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”( Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV).

” Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”( 3 John 1:2 NKJV).

WE NEED to Trust In The Lord,totally ,completely.

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.  It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.”( Proverb 3:5-8 NKJV).

REMEMBER THESE THINGS AT ALL TIMES:

● We cannot trust in God,and lean to our own understanding at the same time. It will not work.
● Too often while we are trusting the Lord we let our own understanding get in the way.
● In all our ways the Lord must be acknowledged.
● God directs us in ALL things.
● We cannot be wise in our own eyes. Meaning that we must cease from our own wisdom and only function in the Wisdom of the Lord.
● Our job is to always cooperate with God on His terms.

● Let us be lead by the Lord our Shepherd and by His Holy Spirit as we continue to live by every word of God.

Jesus  says: ” Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”(John 15 :4-5 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1;24-25 NKJV]

+++Blessed we are and blessed we will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

A PERSON OF GREAT FAITH KNOWS,BELIEVE, AND TRUST GOD TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US, ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS 3:20.

Great faith is expressing through confession,and believe what God’s Word says .

Let’s confirm examples of Great Faith in scripture:

” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”  Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.

He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.  Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.  Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.  Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”

“Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”  Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. 

Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!  Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.” Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon. “(Daniel 3:16-30 NKJV).

Then Matthew 8:5-8, 10 NKJV says:

” Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,  saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”  The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
[10] When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such GREAT FAITH, not even in Israel!

Finally, Matthew 9:20-22 NKJV says :

“And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”  But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; YOUR FAITH has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].
