To show love, we must be rooted in Love. Love then overflows from us to everyone we come in contact with. Focus on God. Repeatedly reflect on His infinite love for you. The more time we spend embracing God, the more we will allow His Love to pour into our days and attract others to Christ.

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.

This is love weekend! Man’s tendencies toward imperfection can lead to fickle displays of love based on the actions of another, rather than unconditional power unmoved by temperamental emotional responses. But, to be loved by the One Whom you have disappointed, violated, and mistreated the most, that is Love.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life

Starting this weekend and continuing on everyday, make God your priority. Choose to honor Him rather than willingly succumb to that sin again. Choose to spend time with Him, finishing a conversation with Him before picking up the phone or responding to that text message. Choose Love first!

1 John 4:16b God is love

2 Thessalonians 3:1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.

As we (everydaygodswill.com) continue to spread the gospel to nations across the world, continue to pray for our ministry. Pray for the salvation of souls, pray for the repentance of sins, and pray for your friends and enemies to come to Christ. Continue to pray that the Word of God is understandable and will impact the lives of others. Finally, pray for the ministry of others. We are a team and we’re representing the Kingdom of God.

The Word of God is the most powerful source; pray that it’s received.

Be blessed!

Have you ever heard someone say, “The Lord works in mysterious ways?” Well, not for the believer. The believer receives inside information because he/she is a child of God.

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

It’s a part of our divine inheritance to understand the mysteries of God and heaven. These mysteries are revealed by way of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10). We may receive revelation through His Word, through the teaching of His Word, or during a random time in our lives. Stay in close connection with the Holy Spirit because He will guide us into the truth regarding the Word of God and the truth regarding our lives.

Receive the Holy Spirit today.

John 2:¹¹ What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

In John 2:9, Jesus turned water into wine. The Bible calls this His first sign through which he revealed his glory. This implies the glory of the Lord is not only some cosmic bright light from God but, results. When we physically see results of God’s Word manifesting in our lives, the glory of the Lord is revealed.

Also, the glory is not only a spectacle that draws a crowd but, it brings people into a position of belief. There are multiple cases in the Bible where God or Jesus performed miracles that caused people to believe.
Exodus 4:1-9 – Moses feared that the people would not believe God had sent him. So God gave him signs expressly to convince the people to believe.
1 Kings 18:36-39 – God sent fire from heaven (which Baal could not do) so people would know to believe in the true God and that Elijah was acting by God’s authority.
John 3:2 – Nicodemus said people knew Jesus was a teacher come from God, since no one could do the works Jesus did unless God was with him.

In our life today, we should expect the glory of the Lord to be revealed. As a believer, if we have a desire that is located in the Word of God, we have a right to receive it.
Expect the glory of the Lord to manifest and don’t settle for anything less.

Philemon 1: ¹¹ Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

Philemon was a slave owner but, also a student of the Apostle Paul. Paul is encouraging Philemon to remove any resentment he has for a runaway slave by the name of Onesimus. While Onesimus was away, Onesimus was converted to Christianity and is doing wondrous works for the body of Christ. Onesimus was once a useless salve but now, he is a student of the Word of God and is teaching to the nations.

When we make a decision to give our life to Christ, we become useful for the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:9 informs us that we are co-workers with God therefore; we have an obligation to be vessels for God. It doesn’t matter how old we are, where we come from, or how much we had or didn’t have. God wants to use us for His glory.

Let Him use You!

Inspired by Bishop T. D. Jakes

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

When people read this verse, they mainly think about working hard enough to please God. However, there is another interpretation to this scripture that some of us may not have seen. This scripture can also be interpreted to only please God in our work performance, not man.

Let me explain.
Some people have this mentality where they feel obligated to work extra hard and additional hours to please or be recognized by men. The only One we are to please in our work performance is God. If man makes it seem like we have to work 12 hours on an 8 hour day but, God says quit after 10 hours; obey God because He is pleased. Just because everyone else is working that long doesn’t mean that’s what God wants us to do. Our work should not be a detriment to our spiritual growth, our health, or our families.

Once again, we are not obligated to please anyone but, God. Work hard, but only to please God.

Do you know the magnitude of the authority and power you have?

What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, (Psalms 8:4, 6)

And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10)

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. (Matthew 18:18, 19)

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)

Never underestimate the power we received through the blood of Jesus. Approach life with the mindset of manifesting the impossible (Mark 10:27).

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

From the beginning of time, God’s plan was to give the earth to man and let them rule and reign over everything in it. By giving the earth to man, God gave man free will to do as he pleases.

When things go bad in people’s lives, one of the first things people say is, “How can God let this happen?” God allowed this to happen because we allowed it to happen. Once again, this is our earth and we control what happens in the earth.
How???
Matthew 16:19 says, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Jesus has given us the authority to bind and loose things on the earth. If we don’t want to experience something in life, bind it. If we want to experience something, loose it.

If we don’t want to see violence, death, or natural disasters, bind it in Jesus name.
If we want the people of this earth to experience health, wealth, and peace, loose it in Jesus name.

Stop blaming God! It’s our responsibility to use the mouthpiece God has given us to declare what we want or don’t want to make our stay on our earth enjoyable.

Proverbs 8:35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.

When good or unexpected things happen in our lives, people often say, “I got lucky.” In the world, they do live by luck or chance. For the believer, there is no such thing as luck. When great or unexpected things happen in the life of a believer, we should praise and thank God and acknowledge His favor in our lives. By stating, ‘it was luck’ removes God from the equation, limits His glory, and minimizes our praise. Our acknowledgement to God after experiencing something good may inquire the mind of an unbeliever to want to know about this God we serve.

Never reduce God’s blessings to luck, give Him His praise and reverence.

John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Have you ever been in church and someone you may or may not know gives you an expression as if you don’t belong? What about someone telling you, “You should be ashamed of yourself” after you know you did something wrong? This is known as condemnation.

Condemnation is usually in the church world. It’s designed to make people feel guilty or bad for what they have done.  When people do or say these things, they are hoping that these remarks will make a person feel so bad until they won’t want to sin again. The only problem with condemnation is it goes against everything that Jesus came and died for.

Condemnation does the opposite of what people think. Condemnation will eventually have people doubting God’s love for them. At the end of that road people will doubt their existence or purpose on the earth.

Continue to pray for others and show the love of God in spite of their behavior. This is the way Jesus would operate. Jesus did not condemn people, why should we?

We are saved and are destined to live forever with Our Maker. (Romans 10:9)
We are forever forgiven of all our sins. (1 John 1:9)
We are healed and made whole. (1 Peter 2:24)
We are victorious in everything we do. (2 Corinthians 2:1)
We are the righteousness of God. No matter how we act, we are righteous. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
We are loved by God and nothing can separate His love from us. (Romans 8:39)
We have peace, joy, and wisdom. (Philippians 4:7; Hebrews 1:9; Colossians 1:9)
We are empowered to prosper in every arena of our lives. (3 John 1:2)
We are rich (wealthy). (2 Corinthians 8:9)
We are blessed.  (Galatians 3:14)

All of this was made possible by Jesus Christ. For those who made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior, you too can reap from the benefits of His death and resurrection. For those who have not made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior there is still time for you to experience all that God has for you. Make the choice to make Jesus your Lord and Savior.

Believers, STAND UP and STAND OUT by sharing this with everyone you know.

Be Blessed!

Just like any father, God requires a relationship from us. Unfortunately, God did not put Himself in a position to physically get our attention to establish that relationship. What God did was send His Son to the earth to die for mankind so that we can contact Him anytime we want. It’s up to us to seek Him.

From TV, internet, and games, there are a lot of distractions that prevent us from seeking God the way we should. The enemy also makes it appear as if seeking God is not as exciting as doing something else. Honestly, if we ask a group of people would they rather go to a party or read the Bible, most people would choose the party. That deception/distraction prevents mankind from establishing a deeper relationship with God and it also prevents people from growing in the Word of God.

It may be tough but, in order to establish a relationship with God and better our current situation, we need to discipline ourselves and seek after God.

Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT) But from there you will search again for the LORD your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.

1 Peter 2: 9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

We are forgiven, healed, and restored. Regardless of our previous experiences, we can have an expectation of a fresh abundant life. Let go of the past, not hiding it, but using it as a testimony to show others how merciful, good, and welcoming our God is.

Choose not to live in shame nor guilt, but instead choose to “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:1-5).

1 Samuel 2:30b Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

To honor God means to honor His Word because according to John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Now we are not under the law, but under a new covenant in which we live by the Spirit, Galatians 5:25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

But while we daily allow the Spirit to direct us rather than the Mosaic law, the Spirit will not guide us contrary to the Word. So as we commit to this walk of freedom, accepting our state of righteousness through Jesus and living by the Spirit, we can distinguish His voice by peace, truth and alignment with the Word.

John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

In the High Courts of Heaven, Jesus is our defense attorney and the blood of Jesus is our witness. The blood of Jesus speaks from the mercy seat of God. The blood of Jesus proclaims and testifies to all the things Jesus endured to make the believer the righteousness of God. The blood also testifies to all the things the believer is entitled to because he/she is the righteousness of God.

So, when we (the believer) declare we are righteous, the blood confirms what we speak. When we declare we are loved by God, the blood confirms our story.
When we declare we our blessed, healed, or delivered, the blood of Jesus confirms every word we speak. By declaring the Word of God, and the blood confirming what we speak, our words are established. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established .

Declare the Word of God over your life and over every situation because the blood of Jesus is constantly speaking for us on our behalf.

2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to visit you (and as the Scriptures say, “The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses”).

Luke 16:10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.

Our faithfulness in little to gain much goes beyond material possessions. It also connects with the spirit world. As children of God, we are to be led by the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit speaks, He is not always going to guide us in some major life defying task. The Holy Spirit may tell us to do something that seems insignificant or something we feel we can do ourselves. However, when we choose to obey the voice of the Spirit, even in the littlest things, we are displaying our faithfulness for greater missions.

The Holy Spirit is not going to have us lead nations, lay hands to heal the sick, or show us where our favor is, if we can’t be faithful in the little things like turn right or left. Let’s be faithful in the little things the Holy Spirit tells us to do so that we can we receive greater missions to advance the Kingdom of God.

There are too many scriptures in the Bible regarding our victory to live in defeat. Whatever the situation is, we shouldn’t question the outcome. Anyone who believes and has faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ automatically is victorious and receives a positive outcome.

The devil attempts to make our circumstances appear so big until we forget about the promises of victory. Every situation and circumstance is only an appearance. We must choose to live, think, and speak in victory.

Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the fragrance of his knowledge by us in every place.

The term GOAT is an acronym for Greatest of All Time. Few people in the sports world wear the title for being the greatest of all time in their sport. Some of the following names are known for being the GOAT: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Muhammad Ali.
We tend to magnify people in the sports world but, our God is the original GOAT. He is the only One who can take a piece of Himself, send it to earth, and save mankind. God destroyed a disobedient city in a day. God has healed us from ALL diseases, saved us from ALL sins, and given us ALL blessings. If there is anyone who deserves that name GOAT, it’s our God Almighty.

Psalm 96:4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

Many times when people give their tithes and offering, they stand on the promise found in Luke 6:38 which says, give, and it will be given to you. This is a great promise but, what if I would say there are two additional promises attached to our giving?

Promise #1: Protection over Property

Malachi 3:11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the Lord Almighty.

Promise #2: Always Having Enough

2 Corinthians 9:7-8 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Limits should not be placed on our seed by only expecting a return of money. We need to broaden our minds and expect men to give to us (Luke 6:38), protection from God (Malachi 3:11), an overflow in blessing (Malachi 3:10), and ALWAYS having enough in our lives (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).

For those who are givers but, are not experiencing these promises, place a demand on your seed and expect ALL that God has promised.
