Discover Them

6/20/15

-  God promises strength: what God asks you to do, he'll give you the power to do.

- God promises success: "You will be successful." (Joshua 1:6)

- God promises support: God's word, done God's way, will not lack God's support. 

- God has many, many promises for you in the Bible but you've got to discover them.

- God's promise of success is not based on your ability. It's based on your commitment to His Word.

(Rick Warren Daily Devotion)

- Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20 NLT)

- No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. (Joshua 1:5-6 NLT)

Commit to his word

His power at work within us to accomplish

More than we might ask

I will be with you

I will not fail you or abandon you

Be strong and courageous

You are the one 

Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:8-9 NLT)

S: But first let’s find out what the LORD says.” (1 Kings 22:5 NLT)

Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him, “Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with them and promise success.” But Micaiah replied, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will say only what the LORD tells me to say.” (1 Kings 22:13-14 NLT)

But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’ “And it is one of King David’s descendants, Jesus, who is God’s promised Savior of Israel! (Acts of the Apostles 13:22-23 NLT)

Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud. (Psalms 138:6 NLT)

The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. (Psalms 138:8 NLT)

O: First and foremost, remember God's promises. Not just the one in song, but the ones he declares over me in his word.  I will triumph by staying committed to his word. Committing to the word of God means continually studying its instructions and meditating on it daily to obey every word. This is the real secret to success therefore when I stay grounded in this commitment to God, I will prosper!!!! With strength and courage I will not be afraid, I will not be discouraged. For the Lord my God, my husband daddy will go with me!!!!

A: I have a tough decision ahead of me, but before Paul, John and Chris, I need to find out what God says. I'm sitting here arguing with myself about what God is revealing to me in scripture. God I step aside and allow your word to speak through my feelings in Jesus name. Once again victory is being promised. It's easy to agree with the promise. But what is the Lord telling me. I removed Saul who said he followed me but did not follow my commands. I replaced him with David whom I given my only son to be a decedent as I promised. For David despite the affair with Uriah was a man after my own heart. Jesus is your savior Liz! Be humble for you know how pride can distance you from me. I will work out my plans for your life and your faithful love toward me. I won't abandon what I have made. 

P: Who am I that you would love me? Who am I oh Lord, precious father that you would speak so directly with your servant? Who am I God? Who am I but your child. If I need to pray, I'll pray. If I need to be still, I will be still.  My situation is to remain serving you here in Grand Junction or releasing us to serve you in Denver. Please give me clarity as clear as can be with this decision and may I not waver on the decision. Give John guidance and wisdom over a job and wisdom over his decisions. Be with my mouth and my thoughts. Give me wisdom and guidance, give me peace. May I live out today with humility from the Holy Spirit. I love you Lord!!!! You are beyond incredible. May your will, not our ego be done. Purify me. I pray this all in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
