Manna for Your Morning

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? 
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
 Who has bound the waters in a garment?
 Who has established all the ends of the earth?
 What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,
 if you know? — Proverbs 30:4 (NKJV) For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NKJV) Matthew 1:21 (TLV) says: She will give birth to a son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins.” Then Matthew 1:23 (NKJV) says: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”  In Revelation 19:13 (NKJV), He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16 N...

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) In Matthew 1:23, the Lord spoke through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.” For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. (John 3:16-17 NASB1995) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13 NASB1995) Believe and trust in Yahusha (original Hebrew) as the Savior of your soul. He is the good Shepherd,...

“ Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself. ” — Matthew 6:34 (TPT) Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you. Instead of worry, worship our great and mighty God. Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure. (1 Peter 5:7-9 TPT)

I have fought the good and worthy and noble fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith [firmly guarding the gospel against error]. — 2 Timothy 4:7 (AMP) Let us be like the Apostle Paul and keep fighting the good fight, until we finish the race. Keep the faith, no matter what the circumstance. Our mighty God is a God of restoration. He will restore what the locusts have eaten. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12 NASB) Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; (Philippians 2:12)

Indeed, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death [and were convinced that we would die, but this happened] so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. He rescued us from so great a threat of death, and will continue to rescue us. On Him we have set our hope. And He will again rescue us [from danger and draw us near], — 2 Corinthians 1:9-10 (AMP) In the midst of severe trials, let us trust solely in our mighty God. “…blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.” (Jeremiah 17:7 NLT) So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD! (Psalm 31:24 NLT) He delivers the righteous out of all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17 NASB)

Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God. They have bowed down and fallen, but we have risen and stood upright. — Psalm 20:7-8 (NASB) Boast in the name of Jesus. His name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 says, even the government will rest on His shoulders. The battle is the Lord’s and He has already gained the victory. Amen! At the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)

People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, steady on their feet, because they keep at it and don’t quit. Depend on God and keep at it because in the LORD God you have a sure thing. — Isaiah 26:3 (MSG) As we continue in prayer and praise to our mighty God, He will keep us in perfect peace. When we worship the LORD, our worries flee, and His power fills the atmosphere. The sure thing we have with Jesus, is victory over this world. Fix your thoughts upon the Most High God and dedicate your hearts to Him.

What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? — Romans 8:31-32 (AMP) With God on our side, we have no need to worry or be anxious. When you focus on the problem, you feel downcast, defeated and hopeless. Instead of going down that path, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, our living hope, and be elevated to see your circumstances from God’s perspective: above your current state of affairs. Our God is mighty and above all, in addition, He is gracious and merciful. Amen. But as for me, I will look expectantly for the LORD and with confidence in Him I will keep watch; I will wait [with confident expectation] for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. — Micah 7:7 (AMP)

The LORD sat as King at the flood; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever. The LORD will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace. — Psalm 29:10-11 (AMP) Because our mighty God sits on the throne, we have no need to fear. It is God who arms us with strength and keeps our way secure. (2 Samuel 22:33) From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. (Psalm 33:14 NLT) And He hears the cry of every heart, and gives us His peace and strength. I cried out to you in my distress, the delivering God, and from your temple-throne you heard my troubled cry. My sobs came right into your heart and you turned your face to rescue me.  — Psalm 18:6 (TPT)

With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! — Psalm 103:1 (TPT) O come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer]. (Psalm 95:6 AMP) Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised! Our mighty God is good, His is abundant in grace and mercy. He is love and full of  light. There is no darkness in Him. The LORD is our light and our salvation (Psalm 27:1). Bow in wonder at the throne of God. Those who walked in darkness have seen a radiant light shining upon them. They once lived in the shadows of death, but now a glorious light has dawned! — Isaiah 9:2 (TPT)

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6 (NASB) Jesus is Wonderful Counselor. Before you text a friend, talk to Jesus and listen for His answer. Jesus is Mighty God. Nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37) Jesus is our conquering King. He has gained the victory for us, Christ is Eternal Father. In John 10:30, Jesus said,  “I and the Father are one.” Our Lord and Savior is also the Prince of Peace, and He has given it to us. Call on His name today. “ Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] ” — John 14:27 (AMP)

So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable. — 2 Corinthians 4:18 (AMP) Do not look at the things you see now, your current set of circumstances. The things we see now are here today, and will be gone tomorrow. Instead, remember the unseen: the love that God lavishes upon us, the new compassions He pours out every morning, and the victory that Jesus has already won for us. Focus your attention on the Presence of the Lord. He is with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20) He is with you in the fiery furnace and when the floodwaters threaten to overtake you. You will not be burned, and you will not drown. God will bring you through. Our eternal God is greater than anything that comes against us.

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 4:18 (NLT) When we get anxious, it’s because we are focused on the visible world, the things we can see: the challenges and troubles. However, when we fix our gaze on our mighty God, whom we cannot see, we stay in perfect peace, no matter how circumstances appear. As thoughts about Him and His goodness and faithfulness fill our minds, our trust in Him grows stronger. If we are feeling overwhelmed, it’s because we think we have to do things in our own power. But remember, our battles our won, not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit. Be led by His Spirit continually.

For we  live by believing and not by seeing. — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NLT) Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day, not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon. Even though others succumb all around, drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you. You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance, watch the wicked turn into corpses. Yes, because God’s your refuge, the High God your very own home, evil can’t get close to you, harm can’t get through the door. (Psalm 91:5-10 MSG) No disaster, nor deadly disease is greater than our mighty God. Trust Him and make the LORD your home, your dwelling place. Believe His Word in your heart and speak it out of your mouth. It’s what we trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going. Do you suppose a few ruts in the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us? — 2 Corinthians 5:7-8a (MSG)

Those who follow the right path fear the LORD; those who take the wrong path despise him. — Proverbs 14:2 (NLT) Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God; (Proverbs 1:7a MSG) Let us humble ourselves under His mighty hand, and realize, it’s not about us, but our great and mighty God. Respect and honor the one true God, Elohim, the all-powerful Creator. Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7 NLT) The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; (Proverbs 8:13) The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. (Proverbs 10:27) In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge. (Proverbs 14:26) Thus you shall act in the fear of the LORD, faithfully and with a loyal heart: (2 Chronicles 19:9) This is the right path, that leads to life.

But as for me, I will wait and hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. — Psalm 71:14 (AMP) I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. (Psalm 34:1 NLT)  The Message Bibles says, I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise. (Psalm 34:1) When we magnify the LORD, our problems become smaller and the enormity of our God is revealed. Don't let anything stop you from praising our mighty God. No matter what, I’ll trust in you to help me. Nothing will stop me from praising you to magnify your glory!   (Psalm 71:14 TPT) Our personal praise is so powerful. When we praise Him, it changes the atmosphere and creates a new perspective. (Pastor Matthew Pollock)

Walking down the street, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked, “Rabbi, who sinned: this man or his parents, causing him to be born blind?”  Jesus said, “You’re asking the wrong question. You’re looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do. — John 9:1-3 (MSG) When things don’t happen the way we think they should, we often look for someone to blame. Instead, let us look with great expectation for what God is going to do in that situation. Nothing is too difficult for our mighty God. With our words, we can either bless or curse (speak negatively of someone). Let us bless others with our words. The LORD merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. (Psalm 33:6 NLT) What are you giving birth to with your words?

So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory. In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you. — Psalm 63:2-4 (MSG) We really live when we live in a place of worship with Almighty God. When you thirst, dink in His strength and glory. Live a free and joyful life in the generous love He continually pours out on us. May every breath we take be filled with His praises, knowing that no matter what comes, we shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

So David came to Baal-perazim, and he defeated them there, and said, “The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” So he named that place Baal-perazim (master of breakthroughs). — 2 Samuel 5:20 (AMP) Our Mighty God is the Master of Breakthroughs. He breaks through the darkness, with His marvelous light. He will break through our brokenness with His strength and power. He breaks through fear and timidity with faith and boldness. He shatters hatred, with His amazing love and grace. He breaks through bitterness, with sweet joy. He breaks through sickness and disease with His healing power. Where there is death and defeat, He gives us life and victory! Believe God and His Word and experience the bountiful life He has designed for you. When we try to confine Him in a little box, with our small expectations, He bursts through because He is a BIG God and nothing is too difficult for Him. Amen & Hallelujah!

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6 (NASB) It doesn’t matter what you need, Jesus is the One you need to call. When you want someone to talk to, call on Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor. Before you phone a friend, talk to Him. He is your constant Companion and guide. When trouble strikes, He is our Mighty God. Jesus is bigger and greater than anything that stands before us. No matter what kind of relationship we have with our earthly parents, we can call on Jesus, the everlasting Father. Just as a loving father takes care of his children, Jesus is always with us. He watches over us and provides for our every need. We can also call on Jesus, the Prince of Peace. He gives us a peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). In the middle of the storm, we can abide in the perfect peace that He gives, k...
