Manna for Your Morning

Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him. — 1 John 4:7 (TPT) If Almighty God is our Father, we are to continually love one another, for God is love. Anyone who does not love does not know God. (1 John 4:8) As children of the Most High God, we are not only to love those who love us. In Luke 6:27-28 (TPT), Jesus says: “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies and do something wonderful for them in return for their hatred. When someone curses you, bless that person in return. When others mistreat and harass you, accept it as your mission to pray for them.” Anyone with ears to hear should listen and make a dedicated decision to follow His instruction.  “...Be like your Father who is famous for his kindness to heal even the thankless and cruel. Overflow with mercy and compassion for others, just as your heavenly Father overflows with...

  …what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. — Acts 2:16-18 (NLT) Our heavenly Father has given us His Holy Spirit, as our Helper, that He may abide with us forever. (See John 14:16 NKJV) Acts 1:8 (NLT) says: …you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere...” We can do all things which our Heavenly Father has called us to do through Him who strengthens and empowers us (See Philippians 4:13 AMP) Let us press on, moving onward and forward, taking ground for the Kingdom of God, in our sphere of influence. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. (See Isaiah 54:17) Amen. Sing to the LORD; praise his name. Eac...

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. — Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) Those who are planted in the Kingdom of God, will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. (See Isaiah 61:3 AMP) God’s blessings follow you and await you at every turn: when you don’t follow the advice of those who delight in wicked schemes, when you avoid sin’s highway, when judgment and sarcasm beckon you, but you refuse. (Psalm 1:1 VOICE) Instead, delight in the law of the LORD, and in His law meditate day and night. Then you will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which bears fruit each season and its leaves never wither. And in whatever you do, you shall prosper and com...

“ When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High. He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence. ” — Psalms 91:1-2 (TPT) How long will you waver between the world and the Kingdom of God? Choose to abide in El Shaddai, continually abide in His Word, and remain united in fellowship with Jesus. Psalm 84:4 (AMP) says: Blessed and greatly favored are those who dwell in His house and His presence.“When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us? God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm.” (Psalms 91:9-11 TPT)   For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you loved me, delighted in me, and have been loyal to my name, I will greatly protect you. I will answer your cry for help every time you...

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. — James 1:17 (NASB) God is a giver. Receive His love, grace and mercy. Some people walk past His gifts, not realizing that He offers, exactly what they seek. Others receive the gift and never open it up. They just let it fade into the background of their lives. By His divine power, God has graciously given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. (See 2 Peter 1:3) John 10:10 (AMP), says Jesus came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. Our heavenly Father has given us everything we need to live and enjoy life. Everything we need is available to us. How many of His gifts have you left unwrapped? Isaiah 26:3 tells us, that He will keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed on Him! But some never unwrap His gift of perfect peace and therefore are a...

At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me…  — 2 Timothy 4:16-17a (NLT) It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. (Psalm 118:8 NASB1995) All others may forsake you, but the Lord will stand with you and give you strength. “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NLT)

“ These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. ” — John 16:33 (NASB1995) Take courage in whatever trials, troubles or sorrows you are experiencing, because Jesus has already made a way for us. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (Romans 8:37 AMP) Revelation 12:11 (NASB1995) says, we overcome because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of our testimony, and we do not love our lives even when faced with death. May we faithfully share our testimony of the mighty works the Lord has performed in our midst. I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the LORD has done. — Psalm 118:17 (NLT)
