Word of the Day
I have been protecting you — mostly from your own self. You can do more damage and cause more setbacks without the help of anyone else if you choose to listen to accusatory words, either your own thoughts or those spoken by others. My divine presence within you preserves and protects you (I John 5:18). I carefully watch over you with a heart to do you good all the days of your life.
Beloved, I have spoken many Words of instruction and promise to you in days gone by. Some you remember—some you have forgotten—some you have let go of out of unbelief or hopelessness.
However, I haven’t forgotten even one syllable of any Word I have ever spoken over or about you. They are just as true today as the day I shared them with you. They were and are conceived in the womb of My heart. Their birthplace is heaven, born of love and desire to see you accomplish purpose and destiny on a daily basis.
Remember, as I have told you so many times, destiny unfolds day by day. Just like your eternal heavenly position is not in the future, neither is your destiny. You are already seated with Me and I want you to live out of knowing this and your life will hold more joy on a daily basis. It will hold more joy and hope because you know and understand each day is pivotal to the next. Each day holds the seeds of tomorrow. Each Word is a seed full of fruit and each fruit is full of seed and so on. Don’t miss one piece of manna by despising in any way the day you are in. Even as the cattle on a thousand hills belong to Me, so your days belong to Me.
Therefore, know whatever is birthed in heaven is an accurate representation of My will for your life. I want you to bring the things birthed in heaven into the natural realm on a daily basis, even if it is through a simple smile or a kind word. Every building block is important an builds and edifice of beauty or a barrier to hope. Be careful how you build and use the Word I have given you as your sword to keep the hills I have given you. And know the realm of time can and will be reshaped by the eternal birthing of My living Word in your heart and life. It is time for you to bring these words from heaven to earth. Agree and see.
“We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One Who was begotten of God carefully watches over and protects him [Christ’s divine presence within him preserves him against the evil], and the wicked one does not lay hold (get a grip) on him or touch [him]” (1 John 5:18 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, as I look back on my life I can see the footprints of Your protection so many times. So many times You tried to protect me and I went my own way thinking I knew better than You. Yet, You never left me forsaken. Every time I listened to accusatory words You always encouraged me and sent those to me who would love me the way You do. Your Word and the Words You have spoken to me are my life and substance and I will live by them. I will live by every Word proceeding out of Your mouth and heart.
Stir my heart to remember all Your promises and help me to remember every Word You have spoken to me. Help me to remember with a grateful heart all the times You have encouraged and healed me . . . all the times Your love has upheld me and I will be renewed. May the Words birthed in heaven find preeminence in my thoughts and thereby influence my actions.
I choose to believe every Word and come into agreement with them in reference to what and who You have said I am. I agree with the walking out of Your Word with mercy and grace flowing through a heart of faith. I will water the Word seeds in my heart by agreeing with You, and in the process I will inject my tomorrows with faith, hope and love. Help me to build righteously and not create barriers in my life or anyone else’s. May the Words of my mouth speak in unison with the beat of Your heart. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Reflect on the many times over the course of your life where He has protected and kept you . . . those times He has kept you against all odds. How did He do it? With a grateful heart thank Him for the angels of mercy He sent into your life when you needed them the most.
- Are there things you think He has forgotten or you have negated the possibility of them happening somehow?
- Have you been caught up again in any way to believe destiny is some future thing and missed the precious moments of the day you are in?
- Reflect on each day being a building block, a seed for tomorrow. How does this change your perspective of the day you are in?
- The Words He has given you were birthed in the heart of Heaven, birthed in Him, so take some time to ask Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance any Word He sees relevant to moving forward with the heartbeat of Heaven for you right now.
“I have been protecting you mostly from yourself…“
Thank you Lord for knowing me even while I was still in my mother’s womb. You know my weaknesses and you alone know how to tame the less humane in me. How wonderful your unconditional love! How awesome your patience and compassion to understand my human frailties! For all my shortcomings and unfulfilled promises, you were still patiently waiting.
You never get tired waiting for me to knock at the door of your heart. Thank you Lord for the realization that when I pass the dark moments of my life, there is no other source of light but you.
Yes, my sweet adorable Jesus…you are the light of my soul. I will keep still for I know you are there for me. Always and without fail…Amen
