Word of the Day
Beloved, fear not. You will not miss Me in this day and hour. Not one thing planned will go left unnoticed or untouched by Me. I am not in a hurry and I will not pass you by. My hand is always extended.
I am not moving like a fast steed making it impossible for you to catch Me. I am moving at a slow and humble pace in order that you might find Me and join me. I have unconditional love for you. I have never condemned you and I never will (Romans 8:1). My kindness leads to repentance and I wash you with My word.
You are not the rebellious one you have sometimes thought yourself to be. You are not the selfish one other people may at times have thought you to be. You are a piece of My heart. You are not disqualified in any way from fulfilling your purpose or from riding with Me. You are just in need of My tender care—in need of My special attention…which of course…I love to give.
Open your heart today and receive My manifest wisdom. This humble wisdom you find in Me will penetrate your innermost being with revelation and understanding. Even as I came to the shouts of Hosanna, I am coming now to the slightest whisper of your voice…to the breath of your mouth as you exhale. I come in response to the flutter of your eyes as your voice speaks My name.
Come My love; don’t be afraid or ashamed. Come up here on the donkey with Me. Wrap your arms of faith around Me and we will ride into victory. We will ride into purpose and destiny as Holy Spirit leads and guides you into all truth.
Submit to Me. Resist the devil and he will flee (James 4:6-8) This is My promise: I have not condemned you and I will not. Since I, the One who died for you will not condemn you, who can? I say, “No one!” Don’t let even the subtlest of accusations the devil should like to accuse you with have place. When you believe even the slightest lie, it opens the door to believe something you would have never entertained before. Distance yourself from any condemnation of men and receive My resurrection power as we journey together.
Take some time to listen. Let this day be the day you hear the sweet admonitions of My heart which saves you from the prowling of the enemy. The greatest weapon you have is to know who you are. Search out My Word and see who I say you are. Take a break from all you DO and let the Word of My heart cause you to BE. Taking My Word into your heart is part of the journey. It will have its perfect work in you. Come dive into My Word…Read Complete Love Letter…
“Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit” (Romans 8:1 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord I so want to thank You for waiting for me…thank you for moving at my pace. Your unconditional love overwhelms me, captivates me. You are never in a hurry and are always ever ready to take the time and do what is necessary for me to overcome…whatever is necessary for me to be at peace. How gracious and kind You are. I agree with Your assessment of me and say I am not rebellious in any way. I have a humble and obedient heart. I am a hearer and a doer of the Word. I hear Your voice and I do not follow another.
I will come and ride with You. I choose to put aside all fear for You did not give me a spirit of fear. You have given me a spirit of love, power and a sound mind. I am able to live without fear and walk in love as I abide in You. There is no condemnation when I look into Your face…only love and courage. Yes, I see courage and You empower me to BE.
Increase my faith…help my unbelief….as I reach my arms out to You. Holy Spirit teach me…guide me. I trust you. I choose to resist the lies, the words of men, and yes, and the words of my own heart which do not agree with You. I believe Your promises spoken to me in the good times and the bad times. Not only do I believe; but, I receive them this very moment. Today is another day where Your perfect work is worked out and manifest in my life. I take a break from my doing to just BE with You. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- In what areas have you felt condemned?
- Forgive those who have condemned you including yourself. Sometimes it is easier to forgive others than to forgive ourselves but it is necessary…it is vital…forgiving ourselves will cause us to love who we are. It is hard to love someone you have something against. Remember the great commandment: Love Him and love others as yourself…how can you love others if you do not love yourself? This is part of our daily journey…to love Him… to love ourselves and to love others. Therefore; forgive.
- With purposeful action and a resolute heart give all unforgiveness, regardless of what area of your life it has surfaced in, to the Lord. Don’t walk according to the tendency to grade one sin…or area in need of resurrection as worse than another and disqualify yourself based on perceived magnitude. The blood is the blood regardless.
- This may be more than a onetime thing and you must resist the tendency to believe the lies of the enemy and refuse to walk in unforgiveness toward yourself or anyone else. once you release them. It helps to write them down along with God’s response in order to have an altar of remembrance to remind you of His provision and deliverance. This is resisting the devil. The truth will set you free.
Your prayer is what we need right now. This website is God’s gift to us.
