Word of the Day
Beloved, it is most imperative in this day and hour to have a greater focus on Me and the ship of your life will stay afloat. This is no time to hide away in some lower cabin…the ship of life. You are no deckhand…no lower class passenger.
You are My favorite one whom I call a king and priest (Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10). Since when have you ever seen a king or priest riding in the bottom holds of a ship unless they are held captive. Don’t ever think you are a captive. You are an overcomer…one who overcomes evil and with good (Romans 12:21). I have made it so (John 16:33). All you have to do is get in agreement with Me and come up higher.
Therefore, today I am calling you to come to the wheel house of the ship and sit with Me. I want to show you how much I love you and how I adorn Myself with you. Adorn Myself…yes adorn myself!
You are My radiant, stunning one and I adorn myself with you just like one who wears a locket around their neck containing a picture of the one they love in it so as to always be in remembrance…to always have their loved one’s face before them. You are My royal diadem (Isaiah 62:3). Your captivated heart adorns Me, bejewels Me, and I am honored to wear your heart of love in order to show the world you are My favorite one.
Therefore, rest in My steadfast, ravished heart of love for you. I have given you everything; I have given you Myself which in turn gives you all I have. I am steady…steadfast…immovable; yet, I am ever moving…ever moving on your behalf…ever pursuing you…ever calling you to come up higher and assume the position I have given you through My life, death and resurrection. Come up and look at how I have adorned Myself with your beauty and how I long to adorn the lives of others with what I have put in you.
You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God. (Isaiah 62:3 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord it is my desire to constantly seek you! Come and stir up a passion and urgency in my heart to stay close to You all through each and every moment until my whole life is surrendered to You. Let me not forget who I am in You according to all You have already established through Your death and resurrection. When I walk in the truth, the enemy can’t take away my identity unless I submit to his captivity by believing a lie. I choose to submit to God…resist the devil and the devil will flee.
Christ within me has made me an overcomer. I am part of a royal priesthood. I am a child of God whose name is inscribed in His hand
Reflect and Journal
1. What in your life has become a distraction from the truth of who you are in Christ and what He is capable of doing for and in you regardless of what is happening around you personally, politically, environmentally and so on?
2. Do think the King of Kings is confined to some bottom hold in the ship of your life. Only if you put Him there by not accepting all He has done or will do. He is not captive to anyone or anything but His Word which is always true. Get into agreement with His Word for your life and come up higher where He already is.
3. Imagine the Lord adoring Himself with the beauty of your life as you fulfill His purposes in and through you. Contemplate being His royal diadem…His treasure…His great love.
4. Reflect on the Lord pursuing you even when you are not where you should be? What do you think compels this endless pursuit?
