[thewordfortheday]

Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”

Revelation 17:14

JESUS- He's the King of righteousness. He's the King of the ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of glory. He's the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords.

Yet for our sake, He went to the cross, bore the pain, the scorn and the shame.

And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, Matthew 27:29 The King's head had to bear the crown of thorns, all for our sake. 

For our sake He became a curse that we might inherit the blessings of Abraham.

God's Son purchased our Salvation, so that we could be sons and daughters of the most high God. Hallelujah!

THOUGHTS:

=======================

  Rejection is something a lot of people dont like talking about. Some people get embarrassed about being rejected, but this is something we all deal with at one time; maybe this happened to someone when they were in school and not being accepted, or maybe you feel that you're the black sheep; some people get rejected by people because of their looks, or how their body looks. Someone might have loved someone so much that the person didn't love them back. There are so many scenarios.

    I'm pretty sure I missed a couple when it comes to rejection, but if we aren't careful when we feel this emotional or going through this situation, if we dont handle it right, we can have a spirit of rejection attached to us quickly, and we won't know how to deal with it

  The one thing we have to understand is that when we deal with a rejection spirit, it is a rooting spirit that will root itself inside your soul and cause you to feel this in every area of your life; the rejection spirit will have you assuming things that are not happening and cause you to be bitter and alone, which causes the bitterness spirit, theses two spirits you want to stay far away from the first sign of this spirit in your life or my life we must go to God in prayer.

 Now,  some of us maybe never have been rejected. Still, we deal with this because it's inherited from us through the bloodline and happens because it's something someone deals with in the family. It gets passed to us, and we are lost at what to do; anything dealing with a spirit is an over-strong emotion that becomes a foothold if we allow the enemy to stay.

  Psalm  94:14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;

    Many of us feel abandoned at one point in our lives, and we should never feel that way about  God because he has never forsaken us. He hasn't. Other people will leave us and make us feel some way, but God won't because he loves us. Still, rejection can make us feel abandoned; it can make us feel the whole world hates us and keeps us from people, which brings on a depressed spirit.

   See, this spirit wants to take over and control the way you think and feel, and if it can do that, it can control our whole life, but we have the power to rebuke and send this spirit back to hell. Still, we must be confident in God and have faith in the power of God to expel what's in our lives.

  The first step we will do is REPENT Acts 3:19. Repent, therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

     We must go to God and confess our sins. A lot of times, we dont look at small things as a sin. Some people like to say oh, this a minor sin. God will look over that, and he won't. God doesn't say oh, if you do all the big sins, you are going to hell, and for the minor sins, you won't; every sin is looked at as a sin; nothing is bigger than the other. Everything is the same fleshly sin, but the spirits that come with these sins bring on different things that we must have the power & strength of God to help us with. Go to God and explain to him what you did or how you are feeling.

  CLAIM YOUR IDENTITY Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. No longer I live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved and gave himself for me.

 This verse tells us we no longer live, but Christ lives in us; we are free from the life of the flesh and can live by faith in God, who loves us; we have to claim our identity and walk in it some; sometimes we are confused at who we are, I know who I am because it says it on my birth certificate on my license and I know most importantly who I am in God when I was a sinner I was confused at who I was and who he called me to be and confused about him, but when I gave my life to God I know who I am and I stand firm and bold in that, we can't let this world tell us who we are we can't allow this world to change who we are we must stay bold and strong

 STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD  2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and training in righteousness,

    This is essential in all these steps, but we must study the word of God. Some people lack this, which gives the enemy a foothold because we aren't staying guarded. Many of us dont read, we dont pray, and we dont fast, but when we apply ourselves, hold tight to his word, and won't allow it to change us, we become stronger in him.

WALKING IN OUR AUTHORITY Isiah 61:1 

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound

 When we walk in the authority of God, we must understand we can preach, proclaim, set free, and rebuke any spirit because we are walking in the name of God; we know who gave us the authority and the assignment to walk this way we must learn to walk in this way and be bold and know who walks with us if you dont think you have this authority every believer has this authority but some people don't talk on it because they are scared or dont know. Still, when we are sure about God, we can walk in this when we study and pray we walk boldly in our authority.

  ***Today, the only holy spirit wants us to walk in his authority, but we can't do that if we don't study; we can't walk in that if we have no faith; we must believe and trust in God about everything that is happening to our lives, each step that was mentioned in this devotional is to teach us how to become strong and how to live through His strength, we talked about this yesterday that our strength our will won't help us accomplish anything but through his blood and power we are stronger then we could ever imagine. The Holy Spirit wants us to be free in him and free to live a life through him because of his grace and mercy. Today, if you don't understand what he gave you and what you do have, ask him to show you. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

‭

After the death of king David, Solomon was crowned king. He was very young and felt inadequate and ill-equipped.

1 Kings 3:5, 7, 9

At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give you?"

And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.

Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people...

Solomon’s realization of his own inadequacy caused him to cry out to God for the wisdom. The Bible says that God was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom and not riches or anything else.

If you are faced with a task that is too enormous and you feel inadequate, ask Jesus for wisdom. The Bible says in James 1:5, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously, without finding fault. He will then give you the wisdom to complete the task with excellence and great finesse.

‭‭=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM SETTLED

I AM AT PEACE

GOD IS MY PEACE

GOD IS LOVE

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

     When you see the ocean, a lot of times, you see the waves move back and forth, and it's such a beautiful sight. I love going to the beach and just watching it go; I have said this before: my parents always took us to the beach and spent hours there. I'm like a fish in the water, but sometimes, the waves can be a bit much if you are not used to swimming. You get pulled here and there because the force of the ocean is brutal. We, as humans, can try to control everything. We can try to control what our eye color is, and we can try to control animals on farms and such, but we can't control the ocean and beaches because those are something we can't tame.

     As much as we humans try to tame everything, we can’t do that. But as we go through life, we will encounter many different religions: Buddhist, Muslim, Hinduism, Catholicism, etc. But we have to always be ready and grounded in ourselves to know what's the truth. The truth of God will always stand. These other religions will continue to grow and try to change the doctrine of God, but they can't because God's word will always stand.

     When we are confused about where we are in life or why we believe in Christ, when we are tossed back and forth by the waves and blown by situations of life, sometimes this only happens with infants in the word of God because when we are mature not how long you have been a Christian no no my friends but when you are mature you have been through the season. You still cry out to God through your bad days and pray through tough times. You never doubt that you are a faithful, mature Christian; when you get this way, you are mature.

     When people in life try to tell you why Jesus isn't the Messiah and why his word shouldn't stand in your life, you're able to say that greater is he that in the world that I walk by faith and not by sight, we walk in the word of God because we believe what it tells us. We believe that the word is living and can pierce to the division of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart". 

    See, we become stronger when we walk in God’s strength and not our strength. Christ is the beginning and the end; what he starts in you will always manifest into something good when we keep our hand in God!

  Life can happen, sure, sickness may come, sure, but the word of God won't fade. " Hebrews 13:9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.”

   The Bible tells us again not to be led away by strange teachings. See, people know we will change if they keep talking and we keep allowing ourselves to listen. It doesn't matter if it's a little bit. It happens. We have to be careful what we listen to because when we listen to things that don't align with the Bible, we start to say maybe they are correct.     

     Hence, the enemy needs a foot and a small opening, and once he's in, he's in, and he will begin to fool you into something different. God wants us to understand today, friends, that life is what we allow him to make for us. If we allow ourselves to rest on the enemy's schemes, that is all we will know. When we allow ourselves to become more open to the things of the enemy, that's all we can think and speak about.

   When we allow the word of God to plant itself in us, and we allow the Holy Spirit to stand and rest in us, we no longer have to worry about being in the ocean waves and being tossed around; we will hold on to God and no matter how rough that water get God will be there always to safeguard our life!!

   *** Today, we learned that when our mind is going back and forth and we aren’t settled, we must look at what’s going on in us, what we are allowing in our presence to affect our mind. See, our mind always needs something to anchor to. We must figure out who or what we are doing that with. Are we allowing God to be our anchor, or are we allowing the world to be our anchor?

   The word of God will change everything in our lives mentally and emotionally, but the world will change that, too. But it’s a difference when we allow God to purify our hearts, minds, and views on life for the better. He doesn’t make us double-minded; he makes us settle. We, as believers, must strive to be settled in God every day. Allow God to cease the waves in your life today.   ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for today, being our anchor and saving us from this world and ourselves. Lord, please make us settled in our minds, and please make us settled in our lives. Please help us to apply this word to our lives. Lord, if there is anything that’s making us unsettled, please change it and remove it. If there are any ideas and things we have gathered from this world that are not of you, please change them. Lord, we bind anything trying to attach itself to us; lord, we ask you to bring peace to our minds. In Jesus' Name Amen
