The Time Is Now

Lazy people take food in their hand but don’t even lift it to their mouth. Proverbs 19:24 (NLT) There is too much unfinished business in the life of believers. God has placed seeds of purpose inside of us to bring forth fruit. Consider today what God has told you to do that you put aside. Perhaps it was a steady decline in effort or an abrupt pause. Before you knew it, days turned into weeks and weeks into years. Do you feel God tugging on your heart to wake up, stop stalling and get back on track? What ideas, ministries, endeavors or visions have you put aside? The time is now to answer the call with wholehearted obedience that is accompanied by action and watch God redeem the time.

Season of Renewal

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right and steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 (Amp.) Lord, we stand before you with a surrendered heart and a earnest desire to be in your will. We are in awe of your glory that reminds us to be still. Steady we lay our lives before you asking that you search us through and through. Remove all that is not like you as you create in us anew. Make, mold and fill us with your love and grace. Leave no stone unturned and renew us in every space. Cleanse our hearts and rebuild us from deep within. Develop our character and bring our gifting in alignment, so we will not fall for temptation and sin. We desire and long for a deeper relationship with you. Take us to another level as we step aside and allow you to do what you want to do. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Renewed & Revived

Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city. Prov. 16:32 (NIV) God, help us to daily walk in peace. As we are being molded in your image everything that doesn’t reflect you must be released. Build us in those places and spaces where we harbor anger, bitterness, or hurts from the past. Hear our cry God as we pray and fast. Teach us how to be patient with others and ourselves when challenged to be quick in our responses and reactions. Let all that we do bring people together rather than create division and factions. Show us how to wait on you even when we don’t understand. Guide us through this life with your mighty right hand. We surrender every area of our life to you where we have struggled with self-control. We turn away from everything and all alliances that don’t please you, as you deliver us from every stronghold. Search us Lord, and build us up in your image and likeness. We love you with all our hearts and desire true holiness. We declare today our love and commitment to you. Touch us Lord, in the way that only you can do. We receive your renewal and revival deep within. Thank you, God, for doing it again. In Jesus name we pray, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV) No matter what you’re going through there is always hope in Christ. Give your worries and concerns to Him and receive relief from all that is weighing you down. Rest in Him and be filled with His peace. Rely on Him and trust that He will take care of everything that concerns you. He gives us strength when we are weak and hope when we feel hopeless. Today, we come against the spirit of despair and we run to the Savior who cares. He is the God of all comfort and His compassion never fails. We are never alone, because he is forever near. Let’s give Him praise, as His Spirit overflows within and restores our joy. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Covered By God

And you will be hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name, but it is the one who has patiently persevered and endured to the end who will be saved. Matt. 10:22 (Amp.) God help us to not focus on those who reject us, because they are really rejecting you. Let us not allow the stumbling blocks the enemy creates get in the way of all that we are called to do. Help us to continue to press forward knowing that we are covered in your mercy and grace. With you by our side we can live triumphantly in any space. Whatever is meant to work against us will work in our favor. The schemes that are meant to take us out or set us back are no match for our Savior. Every weapon against us we rebuke and send it back from which it came. All this we ask and declare in Jesus holy name. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 (NIV) Let us be still before God and soak in His presence. Rest in Him and let His Spirit resonate in us. Allow His power to penetrate us through and through. As we completely rely on Him and keep the faith, He will move on our behalf. He has us and all that is going on in the nations and on the earth in the palm of His hands. Stand still in the shelter of His arms and be encouraged. HIs plans will prevail and He reigns forever. He will be exalted and we will rise above it all. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jer. 29:11 (Amp.) Live your life connected to God and allow Him to manifest His purpose in your life. Instead of worrying, trust Him. Instead of fixating on your future, follow God’s direction and walk into your divine purpose. All that you were created to do and have is already established and set. Get in alignment and stay focused. Set your eyes and fix your heart on the one who created you and has uniquely orchestrated your path. Press forward. ADaubon

On The Potter’s Wheel

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Psalm 19:12 (NLT) God, examine my heart and remove all residue from anything that is not like you. I surrender my heart to you to search through and through. Deliver me from every desire that is not inspired by your Spirit that dwells inside. Expose all that’s hidden, so I will never backslide. Forgive me for every covert and overt sin. I need you daily to cleanse me deep within. Help me to triumph over temptation and keep my eyes fixed on your precepts. When tempted to be lured off track help me to do what’s right without regrets. My longing for you trumps all other desires, including the hidden ones that I can’t see. Forever my heart is yours completely. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Protected

He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. Psalm 18:16-17 (NLT) When we abide under the shadow and shelter of our most powerful God, we have no need to fret. Though the attacks come and our enemies may rise, our God will defend us. When the storm arises and the waves seem to be overtaking you stand still and keep your faith. When your adversaries plot and scheme against you, God sees it all and will not let their plans succeed. Their perceived power and position are absolutely no match for our God. Never forget that when people war against you they wage a war against the One who protects you. Step aside and let Him fight your battles. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
