Manna for Your Morning

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)

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.” — 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT) Glory hallelu-YAH! We are never abandoned by God. Never give up.  Whatever you are going through, our Heavenly Father is with you, and He will bring you through it.  For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (Hebrews 13:5 NLT) A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again. (See Proverbs 24:16 NKJV). For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NLT)   Those who know your name trust in you, for yo...

“We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. — 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (NLT) Others may not know the troubles you are going through, but GOD is well aware. He is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. And He comforts us in all our troubles… (See 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT) The Word encourages us to stop relying on ourselves and learn to rely on GOD alone. Today, cast your concerns and cares upon the LORD and trust Him to handle every situation that confronts you. Patiently endure hardship and keep the faith. Be confident that He will deliver you from ALL your troubles (See Psalms 34:17). And as 2 Corinthians 1:10 says, He will continue to rescue you.
