Manna for Your Morning

You must continually bring healing to lepers and to those who are sick, and make it your habit to break off the demonic presence from people, and raise the dead back to life. Freely you have received the power of the kingdom, so freely release it to others. — Matthew 10:8 (TPT) May we open our hearts to receive all YAHWEH desires to give us. As we receive, may we continually pour out. Freely give, as we have received. Love others, as Abba Father continually showers us with His love. Let it flow! Forgive others as our heavenly Father has forgiven us our sins. Let us be agents of healing and wholeness. Let the power of the Holy Spirit work through you, and touch others with His righteousness, peace, and joy. May we not be hoarders, and keep everything to ourselves. We are blessed to be a blessing.

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. — Ephesians 3:16-17 (NLT) We are empowered to do all that God has called us to do, as we surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. His power is perfected and shows itself most effectively in our weakness. Be rooted in God’s love and trust Him to give you the strength you need to overcome each and every challenge. 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 12:9 (NLT)

Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. — Proverbs 3:6 (MSG) There are many voices clamoring for your attention, but make sure you listen for God’s voice and follow it. Listening to the wrong voices will cause you take detours off of the path of life and you will end up on a dead end road. Paying attention to God's voice will keep you on the right track. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:6  NLT) Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. (Proverbs 3:5 TPT)

…the righteous are bold as a lion. — Proverbs 28:1(NKJV) The righteous don't draw back when the enemy shows up because God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT) He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4) So when the fiery darts of the enemy come your way, hold up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (Ephesians 6:16 AMP) Like the believers in Philippians 1:14, let us be confident and speak the word more boldly, without fear. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), which is our only offensive weapon.

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. — Galatians 6:9 (AMP) Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you (1 Peter 4:12 NIV). These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world (1 Peter 1:7 NLT). We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne (Hebrews 12:2 NLT).

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, — Acts 3:19 (NKJV) In the presence of the Lord we are refreshed, revived and restored. As we surrender our will and flow with the Spirit of the Lord that dwells within us, we are strengthened and His power enables us to accomplish all that He designed for us. The Lord rebuilds that which is broken and makes us into brand new creations. Every morning, He pours out new mercies and compassions on us. So we have a fresh start each day. As we continually abide in His Presence, we are refreshed and our lives are changed from ordinary to extraordinary.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. — Psalm 103:8 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father is full of mercy and grace. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). God knows exactly what we are going through and His help comes just when we need it the most. His grace empowers us to live victoriously, at such a time as this.

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. — Romans 4:20-21 (NKJV) When God told Abraham, he would be the father of many nations, He did not consider his own body, already dead (about 100 years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb (Romans 4:19). No matter how hopeless or dead situations may appear in your life, be fully persuaded, 100% confident, that God is able turn it around. The Message Bible says, Abraham plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. Be strengthened in your faith today!

It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night , — Psalm 92:1-2 (NKJV) Our God is gracious and merciful. He is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness (Jonah 4:2). Give thanks and continually sing His praises, because His lovingkindness is better than life (Psalm 63:3). He crowns us with love and compassion (Psalm 103:4). His love and faithfulness always protects us. Great is His faithfulness. No matter what comes your way today, He will be with you and see you through it. Amen!

God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He's set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating. Colossians 1:13-14 (The Message) We have been rescued, redeemed, and raised up with God in the heavenly places in Christ. We are a chosen people, royal priests, and a holy nation, (1 Peter 2:9). God set us up in the glorious kingdom of His Son. It is founded on freedom, truth and love. His kingdom cannot be shaken. It will last forever. God took us off the dead-end road and put us on the path that leads to eternal life. He got us out of the dark pit we were in and placed us in His marvelous light. Let us praise God and bring glory to His kingdom. Amen.

Fig trees may not grow figs, and there may be no grapes on the vines. There may be no olives growing in the field. There may be no sheep in the pens and no cattle in the barns. But I will still be glad in the LORD; I will rejoice in God my Savior. The Lord God is my strength. Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NCV) If we have God, we have all we need. He sent bread from heaven to feed His people while they wandered in the desert for 40 years (Exodus 16:35). He ordered the ravens to feed the prophet Elijah when he was in hiding (1 Kings 17). Jesus fed a crowd of 5,000 with five loaves and two small fish (John 6). God will take care of you. Rise above the circumstances of this world and rejoice in God our Savior. Hallelujah! Love, Jackie

God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:19-20 (NIV) Sometimes when we disappoint people, they may withhold their love as a form of punishment. Husbands call this being "in the dog house." But one thing we can really rejoice about is that God never withdraws His love from us. And He never closes his ear to our prayer. God pours His love out on us every day. Make sure you get under the spout. Love, Jackie
