THOUGHTS:
People are going to tell you what you can’t do and what you shouldn’t do, but the one thing they can’t do is tell you what God has planned for your life. God can plan so much for our lives, but we can’t allow the enemy to come in and stop us from doing what is willed for our lives, so how do we allow him to do this by weakening us, by allowing him to fill our heads with lies? The problem is we don’t deny his lie but we too; we have to ignore his lies, and truth be told, that’s even going to come from the people we love; they can be used by the enemy, too.
2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
This verse here is critical to what we need to do. We must destroy whatever argument or opinion comes our way, and some of us are so tired, we are so tired of fighting, we are so tired of fussing, that we say I don’t have it in me, but God wants you to know you can do all things through Christ who strength is in you.
When we say we need to read the word of God and when we need to study the word of God, those are two different things. I can read and comprehend it, but when I study the word of God, I eat it! That means I’m allowing the Holy Spirit to show me what’s in this word to help me through and what verse can apply to my situation. Many of us don’t allow the word of God to apply to us; we don’t allow it to help us because we feel there’s no way the word can help us, but it can get us through the most challenging times. That’s why when we study the word of God, we must slow down and hear him speak to us.
Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
We have to identify when it’s a lie and stand on it, not feed into it. We all know how we do this when we debate whether what is said is true when we know it’s a lie, or when we try to convince ourselves that maybe some of it is, or when we allow the lies to change our whole mood and attitude, people of God we can’t allow the lies to affect our day or our mood because once we feed into it and once we give the lie life that’s when we permit it.
We have to allow the word of God to smash the rocks in our lives and demanding situations. The word of God can protect us mentally and emotionally. Still, we have to read it. We can’t limit the word of God, but we can when we don’t read it every day we don’t allow it to soak into our spirit; the word of God says to let it be a light into our path, and some days our path can be dark, but the word of God can shed light to anything that’s in our life and shatter whatever lies that’s in our life.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
God can give us peace in our thinking; we can go on and on, on the negative thoughts, but when we allow God peace to stay within us, we can surpass everything; we can understand everything because then we are only hearing God that’s the only voice we need to hear not the voice of others not the voice of the wrong influencers but the voice of God.
God’s word can bring the light to our feet and a light to our path, but we have to use the light; the word was placed in each of our lives to direct us, but if we never open it, how will we learn and the biggest thing the enemy can do is make us so busy where we feel we have no room to fit the word in, how will we know our adversary if we don’t read and understand how cunning he is.
The Holy Spirit has shown me a spirit in the land that is moving across this nation and world. It’s the spirit of doubt because when we don’t read our word, we won’t believe in it; that means we give the enemy room to plant seeds of doubt, which means we are allowing the enemy to introduce new theories and those theories are wrong they go against everything that’s in the word of God. We fight back against everything in this world when we take the time to allow God to pour into our understanding.
Matthew 9:16–17 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out, and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
See, He won’t pour into something old because it can’t hold what he’s trying to pour into it, but if we are new in him. We hear him when he speaks, and we are a clean vessel; we can hold the new and fresh anointing, the new aspect, the new way of thinking if you’re not sure if you’re ready if not sure if you are new in Christ; speak with him today. He will help you with the knowledge and understanding he wants to pour into you.
***Today, we learned that only God can determine our future, and only he can help us through our day. We can do anything through him. Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that all we have to do is believe, but his word says we just need a mustard seed faith, and he’ll do the rest. Christ is ready to pour into fresh anointing and knowledge, but we must be ready to receive it. Are you a pure vessel? Do you believe that God knows your future and he can handle anything in your life? Do you believe you can do all things through Christ, not through our strength, not with how much money we have, not through anything else but through him? Don’t allow life to tell you what you can’t do, and don’t allow life and situations to stop and hold up your blessing; allow God to show you the way because he’s the way to truth and life. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
