Hebrews 10, 19-25
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to
enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and
living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that
is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God;
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed
with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without
wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one
another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day
approaching."

James 1:5-7 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth
is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not
that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

"Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps,
If you are not
willing to move your feet."
What good does it do to ask God
for directions then disagree, dispute, disobey and then depart and go
your own way? What good does it do to ask God for instructions, then
say that's impossible, or sit idle and ignore, but other's opinions
you implore? You say that you are ready for God to restore, you are
ready for the chain-store, you are ready for galore, you want to soar
and you are ready for so much more. But are you ready to leave the
shore to follow God forever more no matter the endeavor or the uproar?
There is an open door, but you have to pick your feet up off the
floor!!!

Come away, My child. For a little while leave your world behind.
Come into My presence and I will give you rest. All will
wait. You need some time with Me secluded in our private place
where others cannot intrude. This is our time...just you and Me.
Come away.

You may be experiencing pressures, problems and pain that has left you
feeling pitiful, passive and powerless. But remember that as an heir
of Jesus Christ, you have legal title to your promised land even if
you have not yet taken possession of that land. And God has not
rescinded or revoked His promises and is yet well able and faithful to
fulfill them.

Demonic spirits are daily looking for a place to dwell and if you are
not dutiful, diligent and disciplined in your daily devotion to God
and your daily dedication to His commandments, you will find yourself
daily exposed to spiritual danger. You will find yourself so deep in
the valley that you are deaf to God's voice, blind to His vision and
easily deceived and devoured by the devil's varlets, villains, vipers
and his venom. But if you daily declare the Word of the Lord, daily
delight yourself in the Works of the Lord and daily drown yourself in
Worship to the Lord, you will disappoint the devil so that when he
does his drive-by, he will see a victory sign and not a vacancy sign.
So remove the VACANCY sign (discouraged, depressed, distressed) and
replace it with a VICTORY sign (devoted, delighted, delivered). Remain
a victor and not a victim.

The next time you’re having a bad day, remember this:
the tomb is still empty! Jesus no longer occupies the cross or the
grave. He’s neither beaten nor is He weakened by any means. He’s alive
today and ready to comfort the broken, give light to the lost and
strengthen the weak.

We all have credit, good, bad or average. We all check our scores
every now and then to see how it measures up. What if we had
faith scores? Would we worry as much about that score as we do our
credit score? Would we even check it?

If God has favored you with a loving family, loyal friends and a leap
of faith, you should be laughing, leaping, and lifting your hands and
your heart in total praise. Sometimes we long so much for the future,
we forget to praise God for those things familiar to us like light,
life, love, loyalty and yes liberty. On this day, let us praise God
for the freedom to learn, freedom to love and yes, the freedom to
live. Let us praise God for life and life more abundantly. Let us
Praise the Lord!!!!

When you are “Anointed of God” and “Appointed by God”, Satan the
adversary announces an APB (All Points Bulletin) to his angels to
launch an all out attack against you. He knows that you have the
ability to raise up, to repair, to release, to revive, to restore, to
replenish and rebuild the Kingdom of God. He is angry because you
routinely renounce his agenda. So let Satan continue to pounce and
bounce, while you continue to announce and pronounce the Word of God,
the Will of God and the Way of God so that the world can witness the
wondrous Works of God.

Do you feel your living is in vain? Has your vim, vigor and vitality
vanished. Is there a void in your life? Do you feel you are in a
vacuum
and your voice is no longer being heard? Well God says "He has
heard
your prayers, He is healing your heart and He is honoring your
vow".
You may feel like the victim and feel that your victory is only
a vapor
(which you think you will never get to view), but you are a
victor, you
are valuable, you are virtuous, and your living is not in
vain, your
labor is not in vain, and your loyalty is not in vain. God
says "You
are on the verge of being totally victorious and you will
receive a
visitation and manifestation this week. God says "This is
the week of
'Total Victory'". So lift your voice and sing "Victory is
mine, victory
is mine, victory today is mine. I told Satan get thee
behind, because
victory today is mine. Victory is mine ....."

Prior to natural and spiritual elevation, for your new post and
position, God always puts you through a period of preparation and
purification. And during that season, you may experience tribulation,
temptation and trepidation, which can produce agitation, frustration
and isolation. But hear God's proclamation and declaration: "It may
not look good, sound good, feel good, or even right now be good, but
it is working all together for your good, and you will have
confirmation, manifestation and glorification." So make this a "Good
Friday" because "It's all good"!!!

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let
patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing. James 1:2-4

When you make a commitment and confession that you want to be more
like Christ, your circumstances become more complex, you cry more than
you celebrate, and those things that were pleasant certainties in your
life now cause conflict, chaos and confusion. You actually like
Christ, begin to carry a cross. But allow me to comfort and console
you today. God has not forgotten your commitment to Him or the
covenant that He has made with you. He knows the courage that it has
taken to continue in the midst of confrontation, He knows the care and
consideration that you have given, He knows the cruel criticism that
has been mentioned, and your chaste conduct is not hidden.
