Manna for Your Morning

“But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.” — Galatians 3:22 (NLT) We have been called to live in freedom. For the Father has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.” (See Colossians 1:13-14 NLT) “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” (Galatians 5:1 NKJV) “He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.” — Psalms 146:6-7 (NLT)

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” — John 14:27 (NLT) Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. (Philippians 4:6-7 AMP) Don't let the enemy steal your peace, nor your joy.

even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. — 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 (NLT) By grace, the mighty power of God works in us and through us, as we yield our hearts, minds and bodies to Him. O ur Heavenly Father  empowers us and gives us the strength to endure the circumstances and hardships He allows us to go through. May you understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. (See Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT)

For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. — 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (AMP) We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. (2 Corinthians 10:5 TPT) As we renew our minds with the Word of God, i f a thought does not line up with the Word of God, we are able to cast it down.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so tha...

There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. — Proverbs 14:12 (NASB1995) King Yeshua is the only Way to God and the real Truth and the real Life; No one comes to the Father but through Him. (See John 14:6 AMP)  “Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you. And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.” (2 Corinthians 6:17-18 NLT) “Fear of the LORD is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death.” (Proverbs 14:27 NLT) Honor, fear and follow Him.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB1995) Let us press on so that we may lay hold of that for which also we were laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. Let us press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (See Philippians 3:12-14 NASB1995)
