YOU ARE

When I feel dry, You are still that spring of Living Water within me. When I can’t see, You are still my vision, oh Lord of my life. When I don’t understand, You are still eternal Wisdom within me to guide me. When I feel alone, I am never alone for You will never leave or forsake me. When I feel dead, You never stop being Resurrection Life within me. When I feel unloved or unlovable, You never stop loving me with an everlasting Love that nothing can separate me from. When I feel like I’m just “marking time in place” You never stop working Your purposes in me for You promised that having begun the good work of salvation in me, You will bring it to competition; You always finish what You start. You are always the Lord my Peace, the Lord my Salvation, the Lord my Provision, the Lord my Hope, the Lord my Refuge, the Lord my Protector, the Lord my Strength, the Lord my Anointing, the Lord my Shield, the Lord my Song, the Lord my Banner, the Lord my Joy. You are the Almighty, Eternal Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You are my Creator, my Redeemer, My Sustainer, my Comforter, my Salvation, and my Life. I am blessed beyond measure, no matter how I feel, what my circumstances are or who might stand against me. You, my Lord, have made me more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ Who loves me. Thank you, Lord!

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...
  PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...
  From Oswald Chambers today: "If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn’t ask you to make it right; He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.” When the light shines and the Spirit brings conviction of sin, be a child of the light. Confess your wrongdoing, and God will deal with it. If, however, you try to vindicate yourself, you prove yourself to be a child of the darkness. What is the proof that carnality has gone? Never deceive yourself; when carnality is gone you will know it— it is the most real thing you can imagine. And God will see to it that you have a number of opportunities to prove to yourself the miracle of His grace. The proof is in a very practical test. You will find yourself saying, “If this had happened before, I would have had the spirit of resentment!”...
