" Come forth, Warriors of the Tribe of Judah"
"Beloved. The Spirit is calling forth My End Time Warriors. Do you hear the Battle Cry, My Child? 

Here you come, here comes My Tribe of Judah! Here come My Warriors. It is the Sound of Praise and Worship they march to. It is the Sound of the Spirit. Victory has been spoken forth into the Winds of the Spirit. I have declared that IT IS FINISHED.

The four Winds from the four corners of the earth are moving! No longer are you following the Trail of Tears, but you have been translated from darkness to Light. The Winds of the Spirit are the Heavenly Path you walk upon now, Dear One. You are not of the earth but of My Heavenly Kingdom. My Garments of Salvation and Robe of Righteousness are your warring garments. The enemy is trembling and quaking as you come forth. I am the Lion of the tribe of Judah. You are on My War Path. My Presence in you and My Gentleness make you GREAT. Oh, how the enemy cannot understand this.

You are the End Time Army of Praise and FIRE. You are the Army of the tribe of Judah who fight from a Place of Rest and GREAT POWER. Fire Power. I have trained your hands for battle, My Warrior. Your arms can bend a bow of bronze. I am your Shield and My Right Hand upholds you. My Gentleness shall exalt you and lift you HIGH above every principality and power. I broaden the Path beneath you so that your feet do not slip. I gird you with Strength. Pursue your enemy, Beloved Warrior of Mine, for I delight in you! By My Spirit, you shall overtake them; they shall fall under your feet, and surely, you shall recover all!

...Revelation 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.
...Ezekiel 1:17 Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved.

...Psalm 18:10And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, HE DID FLY UPON THE WINGS OF THE WIND For who is God save but YAHWEH, the LORD? or who is a Rock save our God? 32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.33He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 35You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.

...Psalm 149:3Let them praise His name in the dance: let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.

4For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand.

As I close my eyes I could see the Lion of Judah pacing on a hilltop. As I looked closer, I saw him roar and then take his paw and draw me into Him. The Lion of Judah roars over you.

They will follow the Lord; he will roar like a Lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west (Hosea 11:10). I hear:”Hosanna in the highest!”

The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted. Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!(Matthew 21:9).

Have you ascended to the highest heaven, have you heard your father‘s voice? Do you know Jesus intercedes for you day and night. In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the ancient of days and was led into his presence (Daniel 7:13). The only way to the Father is through the Son. Do you know Jesus today, do you have a personal relationship with the one who intercedes for you. He loves you so much, he died on the cross for you and then went and took the keys to death, hell and the grave. I unbind you from your grave clothes today and wrap you in his warm embrace.

The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them. Take off the grave clothes and let him go (John 11:44). I hear Jesus declaring from the mountaintop today,”Let my people go!” The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed (Luke 4:18). My wish for you is that you would have life, and have it more abundantly.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10). Are you living your best life, the abundant life that Christ died to give you. Don’t let his sacrifice be in vain. Live to your full potential and fulfill your whole purpose. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). Allow yourself to become complete in Christ. It is in “THE BECOMING” that we truly understand.

More of you Lord and less of me until the day of your return. Until I can look in the clouds and say,”Upon His horse I shall ride!” I have been carried away with Christ. The bride has found her bridegroom. And the servant has found her King. King of kings, and Lord of lords; Master, Savior, Jesus....

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me” (Psalm 23:4 NIV).

You may not be in the valley of the shadow of death right now, but you may be in another valley. These are hard places on your journey, where it’s easy to doubt or overlook God’s goodness. But you can always trust that God walks through the valleys with you. And he’s promised to bring you through to the other side.
Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me” (NIV).

Here are three truths worth remembering when you are in the valley:

You are not alone; God is with you.
The shadows in your life are the evidence of the presence of light. How do you deal with a shadow? You turn your back to the shadow and look at the light. Jesus said, “I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life” (John 8:12 CEV).

The Bible says God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. You need to stop focusing on the things that scare you: those bills, those fears, those worries, that stuff that keeps swirling around in your mind. Move your focus off your fears so you can focus on the Father.

God has a good purpose for your valley.
God cannot do evil. Even when you’re facing problems, conflict, grief, fear, or failure, God is at work creating some good from your valley.

Romans 5:3-5 says, “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (ESV).

Remember: The reward will last forever.
You’re going to be rewarded for remaining faithful to Christ in the valley of failure, in the valley of fear, in the valley of conflict, in the valley of grief, in the valley of brokenness, and in the valley of trouble. You’ll be in heaven less than a minute before thinking, “What was I thinking? Why did I complain so much? Why did I worry when I was going through those valleys? God was right there with me all the time, and he was good to me all the time.”

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:17, “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (NLT).

What has you most afraid? What lies about those fears are you believing?
How can you be reminded of God’s goodness when you walk through your next valley or while you finish walking through the valley you’re in right now?
Why is it important to look for the good that God is working out while you’re in your valley and not just after you’ve come through to the other side?

"David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him...But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God."
1 Samuel 30:6, AMP

TODAY'S WORD:

It’s good to have friends and family around to cheer you up when you’re down, but in order to truly live in victory, that encouragement has to come from the inside. When your mind is telling you it’s not worth it, when your circumstances seem difficult, deep down inside, your spirit has to have the resolve that says, “I refuse to settle where I am.” That’s what David had to do. He was facing a major setback. His family was killed, his city was destroyed, and his own people were now against him, but he still managed to encourage himself in the Lord. How did he do that? He replayed in his mind the victories from the past. He recounted God’s faithfulness. As he rehearsed over and over the goodness of God, strength began to rise in his heart.

There are so many places you can see the hand of God at work. Thank Him for saving you today. Thank Him for the miracle of life. Thank Him for His faithfulness. Focus on the fact that God didn’t bring you this far to leave you now. Stir up that inner strength and encouragement. As you do, you’ll rise higher and higher and live the life of victory the Lord prepared for you.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness today. I choose to focus on You and the good things You have prepared for my future. I thank You for making a way out of no way, and I will bless You always in Jesus name. Amen."

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear....

— 1 John 4:18

Receiving means “taking; accepting; admitting; embracing; believing; entertaining."

We conducted a survey at our office, asking our employees what one of their greatest concerns was in their walk with God. The number one response was, “When can I know that I am doing enough?”

Perfectionism is fueled with the tyranny of the shoulds and oughts. It is the constant nagging feeling of never doing well enough or being good enough. Perfectionists usually have low self-esteem, and they hope that more perfection in their performance will allow them to feel better about themselves.

If we never feel quite good enough about ourselves, it is easy to believe that God is not satisfied with us either.

Learning to love yourself is the essence of receiving God’s love. It is the ointment that brings healing to your wounded soul. When you receive God’s love and learn to love yourself because of it, you’ll find rest and be free from the disappointment of perfectionism.

Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to receive Your love today and relax in the confidence that You are pleased with me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Proverbs 28:13
He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy

Jesus is our Healer, but unconfessed sin can obstruct the blessings of God in our lives. As today’s verse points out, if we cover up our sins, we cannot prosper. Obtaining mercy involves two steps.

First, we must confess our sins to God and ask His forgiveness. Most of us find that step the easier one. Second, we must forsake our sins. This is the more difficult action. Repent actually means that we feel such regret for our actions that we amend our life; sorrow brings about a change of behavior.

God cannot bless our rebellious disobedience. It would deny His own character. If He did bless disobedience, it would enable us to remain in our sinful state…the place from which Jesus rescued us. He loves us too much to leave us there.

While God’s love is unconditional, available to all, many of His promises are not. Those promises are not based on Who He is, but on how we respond to Him. Consider I John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.” His action hinges on ours. If we do what He commands, He considers us His friends (John 15:14). Exodus 15:26 tells us that if we heed the voice of God and do what is right in His sight, He will heal us.

Our Good Shepherd knows how far we stray. At our faintest cry, He will seek us out and bring us home. Restoration is as near as repentance. Maybe your healing is a confession away.

Blessing:

Heavenly Father, I open my heart before You. I confess my sin to You, all the places that I fall short. Cleanse me and make me whiter than snow. Create a clean heart in me, open to receive Your healing touch. In Jesus’ name…amen

Today's Bible Reading:

Old Testament

Judges 15:1-16:31

New Testament

John 2:1-25

Psalms & Proverbs

Psalm 103:1-22

Proverbs 14:17-19

2 Peter 1:16-21

The times we live in may leave us feeling shaken and uncertain. We aren’t sure what will happen tomorrow—the economy could collapse or a natural disaster might strike. But one thing we can always count on is the Word of God. That’s our sure foundation in this ever-changing world.

The Bible is unique because it is God’s divine revelation of Himself. In Scripture, the term revelation refers to something God has made known to mankind—information we could never discover on our own. For instance, since no human being was present at creation, the only way we know what happened is because God has revealed it in the book of Genesis.

The process by which the Bible was written is called inspiration. God used human beings to record His thoughts. He didn’t put them in a trance, but His Spirit moved in them as they wrote down His truths, using their own personality, style, and vocabulary.

Now as we read Scripture, the Holy Spirit within us illumines our mind so we can understand what the passage means. Then God’s Word becomes like “a lamp shining in a dark place,” giving us insights from the Author Himself (2 Peter 1:19).

One reason unbelievers often reject or find fault with the Bible is because they don’t understand it. The fact is, they can’t understand it because they do not have the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14). But if you belong to Christ, His Spirit will teach you the Word of God as long as you are faithful to read and study it. Then you’ll have a sure foundation in troubled times.

Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 4-6

For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17 NKJV).

If you are going to live a life of victory, it is essential that you have a revelation of the fact that you are the righteousness of God.

To be righteous means you have the ability to stand in the presence of Father God without a sense of fear, guilt, or inferiority, and with no consciousness of sin.

If you have made Jesus Christ your Lord, you have already been made the righteousness of God in Him. In fact, you are as righteous as Jesus is, because He gave you His own righteousness.

You may not have known it, you may not have taken advantage of it, but it’s true!

Until you have a revelation of your own righteousness, Satan will reign over you; sin and sickness will be your master. But the instant you know you are the righteousness of God in Christ, and you understand what that righteousness means, Satan is defeated in your life.

With a revelation of righteousness, you will no longer be afraid of circumstances as you face even the most adverse conditions with a sense of authority and dominion. Just as Jesus reigned over sickness, death, and the laws of nature, so you too can now reign in life in Him.

Confession: Through Jesus Christ I have been made righteous. In this righteousness I have authority and dominion over every adverse situation I may face in life. And from my position of right standing with God, I live the life of victory that is mine in Christ.

Hebrews 8:12

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

Perhaps you have heard people say of others: “Oh, if only you had seen my husband in the early years of our marriage. He had such an explosive temper that I used to seek shelter in my mother’s house!”

“No one would have ever guessed that she had such a promiscuous past.”

“As a young boy, he would always lie through his teeth and not even bat an eyelid!”

Man looks at you and remembers what you were like in the past. But when God looks at you through the new covenant, He declares, “I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

He states it plainly in His Word as if to assure us: “When you come to Me, don’t think that I am thinking about your sins. Don’t think that every time I look at you, I am reminded of your sins. Not only am I not keeping a record, but I am also not mindful of your failures and shortcomings. I am telling you that I will remember your sins no more, never again!”

God can say that all our sins He remembers no more because there was a time when He remembered them and punished every one of them—in the body of His Son at the cross. He punished every single one of them until Jesus cried out, “It is finished!” (John 19:30). That is why today, God can justly say, “Your sins I will remember no more.”

We all know that we sin from time to time. But the good news is that all our sins have already been dealt with at the cross. They have been washed away by Jesus’ blood. Now, when we come into God’s presence, He sees us without our sins. So beloved, forget your past failures. Believe that God remembers your sins no more and be the righteous man that you already are in Christ!
