Manna for Your Morning

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. — Revelation 3:20 (NASB) Jesus is continually knocking. Pay attention and have ears to hear His call. Open the door of your heart and invite Him in. Dine with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He wants to bring healing and wholeness to every part of our hearts and every area of our lives. May we partake of the living Bread. In John 6:48 (AMP), Jesus said: “I am the Bread of Life [the Living Bread which gives and sustains life].” Let the Living Water satisfy your soul. In John 7:37 (NLT) Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!” “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (John 7:38 NLT) You spread out a table before me, provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies; You care for all my needs, anointing my h...

However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. — Luke 5:15  (NKJV) In Luke 5:1, the multitude pressed about Jesus to hear the word of God. May we not draw back but press in to hear His Word. A touch from Jesus, the Living Word, brings healing and wholeness. In Luke 5:12, a man full of leprosy saw Jesus, fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “ Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean .” Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “ I am willing; be cleansed. ” Immediately the leprosy left him. (Luke 5:13) Know that Jesus is able and willing to meet your need today.

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. — James 1:2-4 (NLT) When troubles come, don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. (Philippians 4:6-7 MSG) The opportunity for great joy is always there, when we look to Christ as our source, and not earthly circumstances. You’ve heard, of course, of Job’s staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end. That’s because God cares, cares right down to the last det...

And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. — Ephesians 3:17-19 (MSG) As we let Christ’s love flow through every creak and crevice of our hearts, we begin to live in the fullness of all that God has for us. When His love permeates the fibers of our being, it brings healing and wholeness. The hard heart becomes soft and pliable, able for seed to grow and bear fruit. Christ's love gives us inner strength to triumph over troubles. When we share His love with others it has the power to change lives for all eternity. Let us live full lives in Christ. “...I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].” (John 10:10b AMP)

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice: — Psalm 95:6-7 (NKJV) Let us worship the LORD, our Maker, with our whole hearts. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:2).  We worship God for who He is. We praise Him for all He has done to bring healing and wholeness in our lives, all He is doing and all that He will do. Our worship is to go beyond Sunday morning and into all of the days He has given to us. Worship involves a continual acknowledgement that we are His, and that He is with us and for us; that He is above all. May we worship God in everything that we do. “All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah (Psalm 66:4)

Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped. — Luke 8:43-44 (NKJV) We can spend years, listening to man and looking for our healing by natural means. We can drain all of our resources: money, time, and energy, with no result, as we look to man. Or we can get what we need by pressing in to Jesus, and drawing from the pool of His supernatural power. Then we will receive our healing, wholeness and the answers and solutions we seek. Amen!

Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your tabernacle.  — Psalm 43:3 (NKJV) May we be led by the light of the LORD. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). He has called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Let us cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light (Romans 13:12). His light will always guide us to a place of unconditional love, forgiveness, grace and mercy. Consistently following the Light of this world, Jesus Christ, will lead us to wholeness, healing and an abundant, eternal life. Amen!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! — Philippians 4:4 (NIV) How can we be full of joy at all times? By casting ALL our cares on the Lord. Be anxious for nothing. Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life (Philippians 4:6-7, The Message). And remember to thank God for all He has done!

He must increase, but I must decrease. — John 3:30 (NKJV) We must let our desire to things our way decrease and allow Jesus to become greater in our lives. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). He is the ONLY way. Any other way leads to death. His way leads to abundant life and freedom here on earth and everlasting life to follow. His way leads to healing and wholeness. With Jesus, are pleasures forevermore!
