Manna for Your Morning

“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” — Matthew 16:19 (NKJV)   Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (Matthew 16:19) May we declare God's Word over earthly situations. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21 NKJV) Speak words of life, God's Word. Forever, His word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable]. (See Psalms 119:89 AMP)

Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust. — Proverbs 4:23-27 (MSG) Watch over your heart. Be careful what you allow to enter your heart. If you let junk in, your life will be messy and cluttered with useless things. When you open the door of your heart to Jesus, the Living Word of God, you will experience freedom and a more abundant life. And those around you will be blessed as well. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. — Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

It takes wisdom to build a house, and understanding to set it on a firm foundation; — Proverbs 24:3 (MSG) Exercise wisdom by seeking the face of God and keeping your ear open to hear His voice. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV). By understanding and following the living Word of God, your life will be set on a firm foundation that will not be moved by heavy winds or floodwaters.  When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.  (Proverbs 10:25 NKJV) …knowledge, and wisdom for your soul— Get that and your future’s secured, your hope is on solid rock. (Proverbs 24:14 MSG) …and in all your getting, get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7 NKJV).
