Be diligent.

Yesterday as I flirted with the idea of falling into a depression I stopped myself to ask why. My therapist is praying a great prayer over me yet my mind is going in different directions. Why didn't I speak up on the call? Why do I feel like I can't hear God's voice? I take a deep breath and loud and clear I hear God say my voice is drowned out by all the others you've allowed to hear and accept. Get back to hearing my voice over all the others. Get back to my word.

I'm getting back to his word and back to the heart of worship. I'M NO LONGER A SLAVE TO FEAR.  I HAVE DOMINION. I WILL SPEAK OUT.

S: “Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds, for riches don’t last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.” Proverbs 27:23-24 NLT

O: The King James Version says, be diligent to know about your flocks. Flocks and herds in biblical times were like currency. The more flocks and herds, the more you were presumed to have. The more riches you presumed to have, yet those riches don't last. Who is to say the crown of riches or even the crown of life will be passed on to the next generation? Therefore, be diligent, know your worth, and put your heart into it.

A: God is showing me this verse is not just about my worth in money, but also my value. If I am not diligent in how I manage my money, time and gift, my daughter won't know how to manage her money, time and gift. I have to put my heart in it, by being more intentional and deliberate in how I use my money, time and gift. She deserves a crown, the crown and its up to me to show her the right way to go.

P: You're a good, good father!!!! Oh how you love!!!! You are graceful and magnificent in all your ways! Your name is greater and higher than any other! Your kingdom is here and I have dominion. Your will be done that I will be fruitful. Multiply the blessing you have for me. Give me back myself. The true me that you speak of in Jeremiah 1:5. The true me you approve of. Please forgive me for being neglectful with my money, time and gift. I lost myself at a young age and instead of standing in my identity in you I allowed the enemy to define me. I begin my journey back to me, back to you so that I can pour into Kamea all you have destined for her. She deserves the life you have paved out for her. I forgive myself for allowing others to mistreat me and take advantage of me. I will be diligent in knowing my flocks and my herds with my heart. Lead me away from those whose advice confuse and discourage me. Help me filter out what they say and not take it personal. Deliver me from the hands of the enemy. For you are God and you have made a way! Your love never fails. You have the authority over my situation. You have the power, it is for your glory. Inorayvthisball in the mighty name of JESUS, amen.

I Obey Your Instruction

S: “Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right. Don’t envy sinners, but always continue to fear the LORD. You will be rewarded for this; your hope will not be disappointed. My child, listen and be wise: Keep your heart on the right course.” Proverbs 23:16-19 NLT

O: I hear God saying to me, "I have gifted you to speak. When you speak from the true you, from what is right, I can't help but to celebrate! Don't worry about the schemes of the enemy, continue tinder me and I got you. I will reward you, your hope will not be let down. My child you are on the right path. Don't give up, continue to listen. You are smart, be wise in your decisions. Above all else, keep your heart on my instruction, it is the right course."

A: I have no choice but to speak out from the wisdom and authority God has given me.

P: You are wonderful! How magnificent and glorious is your name! Thank you for your dominion, your will and your instruction. I hear you God and I choose to obey your instruction. Give me strength for today. Help me to meditate and relax in you. Forgive me my sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me. Deliver me from behaving in fear, may I praise you instead. In Jesus name, amen.

Take Precautions

S: “A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” Proverbs 22:3 NLT

“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 NKJV

O: Take precautions or suffer the consequences. Both will train Kamea in the way she should go which will be the one I want to stick with her.

A: I am in the battle of my life. If I continue to ignore the situation and be blind to the control not only will I suffer the consequences, so will my daughter. I have to embrace who I am in God, forsee the danger my situation can escalate to and take precautions. I need to be smart and strategic about the next steps for myself and also for my daughter.

P: Sovereign Lord, your promise says, you e prepared a table! And even in the presence of my enemies I know, YOU'RE STILL GOD!!!! Open my eyes to the danger, may I no longer be naive and blind to what's going on. You alone are good, you alone are God. You are the gift to the giver. You let me see your face, you let see your throne. You've blessed me with your presence. Let me bless you with my worship!!!!! In Jesus name, amen!

Your battle, your victory!

S:

O: Yesterday someone told me, "you never know, God can be doing something different then what you're thinking the outcome can be." I thought to myself, I already made up in my mind I'm done. I deserve better than this. As I continued the conversation in my head, I concluded, I am believing for the best but I am preparing for the worse.

A: Whatever the outcome maybe, this is a battle. My husband married the old me and I am transforming into the true me. It's a hard process and it hurts. I think of the transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly. I'm in my cocoon and he's on the outside and doesn't understand the process. He's still the old and hasn't discovered his true self therefore would rather flea then try to understand and better himself. It's a battle and I'm believing for the best and prepared for the worse out come according to Gods will. For he gets the victory! The battle is his and the victory is his! 

P: You are amazing God! There is none like you great God! Holy and mighty! Strong and merciful! Holy is your name, sovereign father. You have the dominion and the authority! I give myself away and trust you with my situation. Give me you oh Lord as I cry out. I need you to walk with me! Forgive me for trying to take matters into my own hands. I know you are the risen King and can do anything. I forgive my husband, for he knows not what he does. Deliver me from soul ties and the comfort I find in being a victim. I have been victimized but I am not a victim, I have victory!!!! I praise you for who you are, the one true God, magnificent in glory. Thank for being an awesome God. In your sons precious name I pray, amen!

God take the Wheel

S: “Evil will never leave the house of one who pays back evil for good.” Proverbs 17:13 NIV

O: It's extremely hard to watch someone you love behave badly toward you. It stirs up worry, anxiety, and strife. The human response is to make them feel bad back. My mom use to say, "two wrongs don't make a right." 

A: Moment by moment I have a choice to commit my actions to God or to react in my flesh toward my husband. All through out today's reading, commiting myself, including my actions to God is the right response. It doesn't mean I'm weak and allowing him to step all over me. It means I have allowed God to take the wheel.

P: Oh loving God, holy is your name and vengeance is yours! As your kingdom comes to earth and your will be done in my situation I pray for John. I have read in your word what happens to those who mess with your anointed. He does not know what he is doing. Whatever you do, don't kill him God. Give me strength to execute your word today. I commit my actions, my response and myself to you so your plans, not mine will be established. Forgive me for not trusting you fully with my burdens. I forgive my mom for blaming me for her addiction and allowing her to speak down about me. Lead me away from this toxic relationship with John as he is blaming me for his addiction and speaking down to me. Deliver me from worry, anxiety and fear. Replace your truth in all the places these lies have held. For your glory God, not my will, but yours be done. In the precious name of Jesus, amen!

Commit to God

Full of Light

S: “The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.” Proverbs 13:9 NLT

O: God gives us his light, a symbol of life. He gave of his sons life, to rescue us from darkness. Colossians 1:13 says, “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,". 

Therefore through Christ we have life, eternal life. With that we also have joy for ourselves and for others. However, those who are wicked don't allow themselves to be rescued and as a result their life will see death. 

A: I am Gods child. I am royalty and I am his masterpiece. I have life. Therefore, I can have joy despite any situation I face. 

P: You give life oh Sovereign God and you have given us joy! How great and how awesome are you!!!! Holy, holy, holy, is your name! You have brought us into your kingdom. You have made your will known in our lives. You deserve all the praise! Give me the day to live out your will with strength, dignity and humility. Forgive me for not coming to you with my burdens. I also forgive myself for accepting the blame of others. Lead me Lord to live according to Christ's standard, not mans. Deliver me now as you have done before. I exalt you over my situation. Show me how to love myself as you love me. I pray this all in the glorious name of Jesus, amen!

I am worth it!

S: “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.”

Proverbs 12:15 NKJV

“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” Proverbs 12:25 NIV

O: Verse 15 is reiterating we can't rely on our own strength. In Proverbs 11:14 it says there is safety in having many advisers. Jumping back to verse it's not just about having the advisers, but doing what they counsel, what they advise. 

A: If I continue to wallow in self pity the anxiety of my situation will bring me down and keep me here. If I take heed to the wise advice that has been given to me , I need to receive the kind words, rise in self worth and move through the situation. 

P: I know you are for me great God. I know who you are in all your majesty, you have not forsaken me in my weakness. I know your kingdom is here. I know your will for my life and my heart can't dance without it. God I need your help in standing firm on my identity in you. You thought I was to die for!!!! May I take heed to your promises and take heed to the many advisers you have placed around me. You are great and mighty. No matter the events of the day, may I never cease to praise you. In Jesus name, amen!

The Name of the Righteous is Blessed

S: “The name of the righteous is used in blessings, but the name of the wicked will rot.” Proverbs 10:7 NIV

“The way of the LORD is a stronghold to those with integrity, but it destroys the wicked.” Proverbs 10:29 NLT

O: Our name is our identity. For most, it's also our brand. Biblically names are very important. Often times a name came from what the mother was experiencing at the time of her birth. For Jabaz, it was pain, for Judah it was praise. Jesus himself is the name above all names. Notice that some names are continuously talked about through out the Bible, Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Also notice modern times, we still hear those names, Abraham, Issac and Jacob, Joshua, Caleb, Elizabeth, Mary. We  don't really here people named Judas or Cain. For those who wer righteous God honored their name and those who were wicked, there name faded into history never to be heard of again.

A: God lifts my name up. Being obedient to his instruction as my strength and my foundation for integrity he will bless me and my name be spread around the world. When I try to do things on my own accord no one will know my name and I will destroy myself with pride.

P: My father I adore you more than anything my heart could wish for. I want more and more of you. Your name is higher than any other. Your kingdom is great and your will is divine. Give me you Lord. I don't want more of anything without you. Your blessings are better than my desires. Your ways are definitely better than my ways. Forgive me for not coming to you with my burdens and trusting more in my own strength. I don't want to destroy myself and my name to rot. Deliver me from my old self. May I rise as your servant. You are wonderful! May all I do be in your power and for your glory. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen.

Thy will be done

S: “I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.”

Proverbs 8:17 NKJV

“For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the LORD;”

Proverbs 8:35 NKJV

O: I am noticing lately that I am giving myself too much glory. I hold my head high and proclaim all the amazing things God is doing through me. I do it in such a way I am acknowledging myself more than God. I am forgetting the order here.

A: If I do things off of my own accord I will never succeed in my business. I will never have victory over my health and over my marriage. Doing things in my power will not have a longing reward. I need the power of someone greater, someone higher someone much more powerful than I. It's by my relationship with Christ and being apart of the family of God that I am still standing. Therefore when I seek wisdom through his instruction, I will find wisdom. Oh and because I love wisdom, when I find it i will find life and have favor from God. 

P: Lord I'm searching! Lord I'm seeking! For you my Lord, for you my Jesus! For you are great and because I have kingship, I have dominion over my thoughts. I know that you are for me. I know that you would never forsake me. So not my will, BUT YOURS BE DONE! Let thy will be done from the inside out! Give me today a renewed spirit. Holy Spirt it's all about you. I follow the pillar by day and the fire by night. Forgive me God for boasting in myself. I never would have made it, I am never going to make it without you. You deserve all the praise! Deliver me from myself. Lead me away from being in love with what you're doing over in love with who you are. Your will God I live for!!!! In the name of Jesus, amen!

 

Show Discernment

S: “My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel. Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned.”

Proverbs 5:1-2 NLT

O: Pay attention, listen carefully, then show discernment and your lips will express. In that order.

A: It's a blessing to go from selective mutism, (the inability to speak in certain social settings), to professional speaker. However, it doesn't mean that I speak all the time and speak meaninglessly. I need to speak in obedience to who God has called me to be. By first paying attention to his wisdom, not mine or the wisdom of the world. By listening to those God has put in my life to guide me. Then my behavior will reflect discernment and when I speak I will deliver wise counsel.

P: You are a good good father! Magnificent in all your ways. I am thankful you sent your son from heaven to earth to show us the way, the truth and the life. God give me you! Give me your desires, nothing else will do. Forgive me for taking on the wisdom of the world instead of trusting you. I will pay attention to your word, I will listen more and show others that I am your child. I will speak with the anointing you have given me whenever I open my mouth to speak. Otherwise I won't say anything at all. You are amazing God! Worthy of all the honor and all the praise! I pray this in the name of Jesus amen.

Likewise

S: “When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you. For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.”

Proverbs 6:22-23 NLT

O: I love my daughter and I will do anything for her. I am patient with her and speak to her in a way that edifies her. I am concerned with her development and do whatever I can to teach her values and principles to be who God created her to be. Likewise, my mentees deserve the same. They are lives God put in my life to edify, develop and teach to be who he has created them to be. My heart breaks for them just as my heart breaks for my daughter. 

A: Speaking wise counsel into the lives of my mentees is therefore crucial. For when they walk, my counsel will lead them. When they sleep, my prayers will protect them. When they wake up, I will advise them according to biblical instruction. For my command from God is a lamp and the instruction a light; the corrective discipline is the way to life. My mentees are my spiritual children, I will do what I need to do to help them fulfill their God given gifts.

P: Lord you are my God and I will forever praise you!!!! You are worthy to be praised in every area of our lives. Who am I that you would trust me with your children's lives? I am but your servant. I surrender all to you. Let your kingdom come. Let your will be done in them and through them. Give me the strength to endure and the discernment to know I need rest to recharge. Forgive me for neglectig myself. I know I am better when I do self-care. Lead my thoughts and actions to be of you. Deliver me from any thought or action not of you. You have given me the authority and everything I do is for your glory. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Listen, Liz, listen

S: “My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths. When you walk, you won’t be held back; when you run, you won’t stumble. Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life.” Proverbs 4:10-13 NLT

O: What a perfect timing to be reading Proverbs! Yesterday I gave birth to my dream!!!! I have a new born and I need to nurture it and provide it love and attention until it's full grown and out live me. I need to develop it and use my gifts to make it better. Many people will give their opinion on how I should nurse it, mature it, get it prepared for the world. Every opinion is worth listening to but not worth implementing. I will find a hand full of people that will help raise it to the level of excellence it's needing to succeed. I definitely know and understand it takes a village and I am not the only influence. Yet the biggest influence that drives it is the Holy Spirits guidance. 

A: When God speaks to me through the Holy Spirit. I can't hesitate or over analyze his promptings. It's not the time to question or doubt my gifts. It's not the time to cower in fear. My dream is here, alive and kicking! Sign, sealed and delivered by the God almighty. It is time to listen and do! The result is a long good life! In the process I will learn wisdom and  follow the straight path paved out just for me. Whoo, I will not walk in defeat, I won't be held back any longer!!!! Hallelujah, when I grind I will not stumble. There will be no hinderence! 

P: Glory to God! Your name is higher than any other! You have given me instruction on my part in your kingdom, I won't walk away! I won't let them go! I will guard your instruction for your name sake! Give me more and more of your presence God! Teach me how to love like you have loved me! Forgive my unbelief as I forgive those close to me that don't believe in me or are intimidated by my trust in you! Lead me Lord and I will follow your decrees as they guide me away from all that tempts me. Deliver me from anyone or anything that may come between the dream you have birthed from within me. By the power of your son Jesus name I pray, amen!!!!

The Best Part of Me

S: “Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10 NLT

“Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.” Proverbs 3:27 NLT

O: Wealth is an abundance of valuable possession or money. It's having prosperity in every area of your life. In your faith, finances, time, talents, and health. In each of these areas we must honor God. Not just in doing just enough, but giving the best part of us and giving the best of what we produce from faith, finances, giving of our time, talents and also in health. Then we will receive an overflow of blessing. We must do and be our true selves, which is our best self, in every area of our lives to reap the blessings of God.

A: Doing and being the best part of me is being obedient to what God tells me to do without hesitation or delay. Yesterday God spoke to me to reach out to my mother-in-law. Our relationship hasn't been the greatest. We deal with each other because we share one similar interest. However, God spoke to me to stop looking at her from a "have to deal with her perspective" and instead use my faith, finances, time, talents, and health to restore her back to who he created her to be. Therefore, I can no longer withhold genuine good from her. She deserves the best parts of me because it is in my power,  through my gifting a, to help her.

P: Our father, all of heaven roars your name. How great and how awesome are you! Your kingdom is here! Your will for Mary's life will be done! Hallelujah! Give me strength to help guide your daughter back to a love encounter with you. Prepare her heart for what you will do within her. Forgive me for not receiving her as your child. I also forgive her for not accepting me. Lead both of our hearts to a deeper understanding of each other, as you seem fit. Deliver us from our past hurts and issues that will hinder what needs to take place. For you have the authority to restore! In your power and for your glory I pray this all in the name of Jesus, the name that is above all names. Amen.

 

Stay Close to God

S: “Jotham did what was pleasing in the LORD’s sight. He did everything his father, Uzziah, had done, except that Jotham did not sin by entering the Temple of the LORD. But the people continued in their corrupt ways.”

2 Chronicles 27:2 NLT

“King Jotham became powerful because he was careful to live in obedience to the LORD his God.” 2 Chronicles 27:6 NLT

“Sing to the LORD, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world.” Isaiah 12:5 NLT

O: Jotham pleased God above the people and stayed humbled despite the corruption of the people. He focused on Gods vision. His simple obedience to God grew his power He stayed close to God. 

A: When I stay close to God more than I can dream or imagine gravitates to me. It's the true law of attraction. Focusing on God attracts godly behavior, Christ-like humility and servant hood, the kingdom of God and the will of God.

P: HALLELUJAH, oh King of kings and Lord of everything. You are wonderful!!!! Magnificent and holy you are. Your name is higher than any other! Healer, awesome wonder, my God, my daddy and my king! I have gravitated toward powerful women and you have given me two earthly fathers to shine your love on me. How amazing are you God! Glory and honor to you!!!! It's not about Paul or Patrick, it's all about you!!!! Thank you for ever loving me!!!! Oh how you love!!!! Let your kingdom. Let your will be done. Provide for my daily need physically, emotionally, sexually, financially, spiritually and need I may have missed or am unaware of. Forgive my sinful man me my old nature. Deliver me into you and your spirit. I am alive in you!!!! I am made new with Christ Jesus!!!! I bestow back into you the love!!!! I praise and worship your name Jesus son of God, amen.

A God of Vision

S: “The Sovereign LORD showed me a vision. I saw him preparing to send a vast swarm of locusts over the land. This was after the king’s share had been harvested from the fields and as the main crop was coming up.” Amos 7:1 NLT

“Then the Sovereign LORD showed me another vision. I saw him preparing to punish his people with a great fire. The fire had burned up the depths of the sea and was devouring the entire land.”

Amos 7:4 NLT

“Then he showed me another vision. I saw the Lord standing beside a wall that had been built using a plumb line. He was using a plumb line to see if it was still straight.” Amos 7:7 NLT

“But Amos replied, “I’m not a professional prophet, and I was never trained to be one. I’m just a shepherd, and I take care of sycamore-fig trees. But the LORD called me away from my flock and told me, ‘Go and prophesy to my people in Israel.’” Amos 7:14-15 NLT

“Then the Sovereign LORD showed me another vision. In it I saw a basket filled with ripe fruit.” Amos 8:1 NLT

“Then I saw a vision of the Lord standing beside the altar. Amos 9:1a NLT

The LORD has spoken, and he will do these things.” Amos 9:12b NLT

O: The Lord's vision to Amos was to bring harm to the Israelites. Although these were Gods people, he did not hesitate in revealing the vision. What Amos was revealing were visions of destruction. The Israelites didn't like being told how there God was going to destroy them so they tell Amos go find business else where. No one here is going to pay to listen to that type of message. Amos responds, this is not my profession, I am a shepherd. God called me to come prophesy and share with you his vision. Despite of what the Israelites said, Amos did not cease from sharing the vision God gave him.

A: Who I am, my voice, my story, the journey I'm asking others to embark on is not a usual concept. Many live their entire lives hiding from themselves, never using their voice, ignore their story and denying it happened to others. People are not going to receive my message without reserve. That doesn't mean I stop pursuing the vision. Focusing on Gods vision is allowing things to fall in place organically, purposefully but making sure I'm in the right place to do it. 

P: I miss you God. I miss hearing from you through your word Abba. I will no longer put you on the back burner. I will take delight in you every morning that I may receive joy when I tackle the day. You are truly what's important to me and I need you to survive!!!! Your name is great and worthy to be praised. Your kingdom is here! Thank you for the word through Doc! My message of freedom. I will take heed to what he says and whatPatrick  and Gwen say. I will take heed to what I read for you brought me to these things for they are the very principles needed for me to focus on you and prepare me for what is to come. From this moment I will no longer say what your will is die by life I will do! Like your word says, let your will be done, not be said!!!! Give me strength in humility to rise up and take my godly place as your child, as a child. Forgive me for not seeking you these last few days and choosing to shut down, isolate and eat my emotions instead of bringing my burden to you. Deliver me from really ring in the old Liz. I am new and alive in you. I am aware of my triggers may I build a new layer into my brain as I develop new habits. Thank you for never giving up on me. You are amazing God!!!! In Jesus might name, amen!

W

Truth will restore

S: “Zion will be restored by justice; those who repent will be revived by righteousness. But rebels and sinners will be completely destroyed, and those who desert the LORD will be consumed.”

Isaiah 1:27-28 NLT

O: Justice will bring restoration. Justice to me is being just in truth. Truth will restore. Those who turn to God instead of remain in themselves will regain life. Their consciousness will be restored. They will be given new strength by righteousness. Whooo! HALLELUJAH! 

A: Truth will set me free and restore me back to my rightful place. As I turn to God, something has to die in order for life to regained. As I am nothing and Christ is everything I regain life. It's by his righteousness. My consciousness will be restored and I will be given new strength. 

P: My God! God of heaven. Magnificent is your name! My identity is in you. You reign over all the heavens unto earth. Daily you provide your coverings and your provisions and today was nothing less. You revive me!!!! You restore me. You pour your truth within wherever lies may have been. Your forgiveness has surpassed all of as I have forgiven all those of have done things unjustly. As I continue to work through the effects lead me away from the spirit of rebellion, and the sin that so easy entices me. Deliver me into your arms of love. In Jesus precious name, amen.

I am your servant

S: “Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success.”

2 Chronicles 26:5 NLT

“God helped him in his wars against the Philistines, his battles with the Arabs of Gur, and his wars with the Meunites.”

2 Chronicles 26:7 NLT

His fame spread far and wide, for the LORD gave him marvelous help, and he became very powerful. But when he had become powerful, he also became proud, which led to his downfall.

2 Chronicles 26:15b - 16a NLT

"The LORD God will not honor you for this!” Uzziah, who was holding an incense burner, became furious. But as he was standing there raging at the priests before the incense altar in the LORD’s Temple, leprosy suddenly broke out on his forehead. 2 Chronicles 26:18b-19 NLT

So King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house, for he was excluded from the Temple of the LORD. His son Jotham was put in charge of the royal palace, and he governed the people of the land.”

2 Chronicles 26: 21 NLT

O: Saul failed to follow Gods instruction. Therefore rejecting God and God rejected him. Here, many kings later, Uzziah had the fear of God, sought after him followed his commands and in return God made him a success. God was with him in all his battles and wars. He was powerful and his fame had spread from what God was doing through him. The more powerful he got the more proud he became. He thought of himself higher than the priest, got out of his lane and performed a priestly duty. God dishonor red him due to his sin and Uzziah broke out with leprosy. He had to be isolated and confined until the day he died so his son have to replace him as king. In the end he was buried separate from the kings of Judah.

A: The resurrection of the True Liz is upon us. Great things are going to happen in me and through me. If I fail to speak out what God has commanded, like Moses I won't see my promise land and someone must greater than me wil carry my calling forward. If I fail to obey his instruction like Saul, he will reject me and someone greater will carry out my calling. When I speak the words he has put in mouth and have obeyed all his commands than become proud as Uzziah I will be struck with a diease and be isolated for the rest of my life. I wil die and be buried in isolation. 

P: Oh King of kings, powerful is your name. It's your kingdom that comes and your will that will be done here on earth as you have doe in heaven. Remind me that I am but your servant and as long as I am in my master temple, my daily needs will be provided for. Forgive me for being proud and taking your kingdom as my own. To serve you is to fulfill my role as a public speaker which will build your kingdom here on earth. Also forgive me formatting all my trust in John for my needs when you are Jehvah Jireh.  I forgive John for not being the man I thought he was and putting so much pressure on him to be someone he is still becoming. Help me see him in your light. Deliver me from sexual temptation. It is okay for me to be around by my husband but not pay to have sex prematurely. I will try my best follow the spirits guidance, not a feeling. Rescue me from becoming proud as you reign power in and through me. I am your servant oh God. Give me rest and speak to me during my day of sabbath. Renew strength until we meet again. In Jesus name, amen.

This Terrible storm is all my Fault

S: ““Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.” But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish. But the LORD hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart.

“Why has this awful storm come down on us?” they demanded. “Who are you? What is your line of work? What country are you from? What is your nationality?” Jonah answered, “I am a Hebrew, and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land.” The sailors were terrified when they heard this, for he had already told them he was running away from the LORD. “Oh, why did you do it?” they groaned.

“Throw me into the sea,” Jonah said, “and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault.””

Jonah 1:2-4, 8-10, 12 NLT

“Now the LORD had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.” Jonah 1:17 NLT

“As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple.

But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.” Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.” Jonah 2:7, 9-10 NLT

“This change of plans greatly upset Jonah, and he became very angry. So he complained to the LORD about it: “Didn’t I say before I left home that you would do this, LORD? That is why I ran away to Tarshish! I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people.” Jonah 4:1-2 NLT

O: The other guys in the boat believe in other gods, but knew the power of the God of Israel.

God allowed him to be stuck in a fish for 3 days and 3 nights. I'm fasting for 3 days and 3 nights. (I'm just saying, my God is awesome.) 

Jonah was so stubborn, he waited until his life was slipping away to pray earnestly to God about fulfilling what God  called him to do. Only then did God allow him to be spat out of the fishes belly.

Jonah's message to Nineveh wasn't for them, It was for Jonah.

I am not fully aware of the entire story of Jonah. However, thus far it's about him and his relationship with God. God is aware of who Nineveh is, wickedness and all. Yet he gave a message to Jonah and Jonah failed to listen and ran from his calling. Then after God went back on his word because of the cities response Jonah becomes upset. Making an excuse. He ran from obeying Gods command because he knew God would change his mind. Jonah doesn't realize the impact he has. With one word he change a whole city back to God. What a man that a city of its size. In chapter 4:11 Nineveh was a great city of 120,000 people. Would believe in Jonah and fast and turn their ways around. What a God!

A: What a God indeed. He knows our situation, nothing has caught him by surprise. He knows we will be great! Yet we are in most of a storm. Not because of what John has done, but because I haven't obeyed Gods message. There was one day I'm excited to receive Gods blessings from my obedience. Then the next day I forgot all God can do through me. I have a message to give and can only be spoken through action. I have to be the true Liz. This fast was to do just that. Realign my identity and most importantly my heart back with God.

P: Oh God of heaven! You in all your might called me by name. You gave me a unique gift and a special one of a kind way to use it. Yet I have put my will of my husbands salvation above your will for my life. I am making a huge sacrifice in fasting from not just food, but my biggest weakness. Yet it's meaningless if I don't obey your commands. Give me a new perspective, your perspective. When you spit me out may I fulfill your calling your way, not mine or complain that Johns transformation isn't going my way. It's not about me. Deliver me from the attachment of John to allow both of us to grow. Thank you for being  so awesome! I love you Lord. Forgive me for not being fully obedient. Please don't reject me. I have come here and will continue my journey, please do what you have promised, In Jesus name, amen.

Obeying Gods command

S: “But the king interrupted him and said, “Since when have I made you the king’s counselor? Be quiet now before I have you killed!” So the prophet stopped with this warning: “I know that God has determined to destroy you because you have done this and have refused to accept my counsel.” After consulting with his advisers, King Amaziah of Judah sent this challenge to Israel’s king Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz and grandson of Jehu: “Come and meet me in battle!””

2 Chronicles 25:16-17 NLT

O: The King didn't like what the prophet said so he threatened him and refused his word. Instead he consulted his advisers and sis what he wanted.

A: Over our my days where I ignore Gods command  and settle for the advise of men instead. For the advise of man lead to destruction but obeying Gods command leads to victory.

P: Oh father of excellence. See me beyond my imperfection. I spent most of my time with you dosing off. Not becuase I am bored in your presence, I have yet to have adequate sleep. Have grace for your servant oh God. Your name is higher than any other and worthy to be praised! I am confirming what I have felt in your spirit yesterday. I am ready to follow and obey your command in order to fulfill my mission. I don't want someone better than me to take over. I have the skill to do your will. Give me today, the grind, the execution to match my skill. Forgive me for not being more intentional with my time. Deliver me from confusion and the feeling of being overwhelmed. I need holes in my logs. Continue to bless me during this time of fasting. I look forward to spending more time with you and realigning my heart to yours. In Jesus name, amen.

Obey

S: “Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: Why do you disobey the LORD’s commands and keep yourselves from prospering? You have abandoned the LORD, and now he has abandoned you!”” 2 Chronicles 24:20 NLT

O: One thing all these Kings had in common, following the Lords instruction and at the same time not obeying his law. As long as the prophet was alive, they restored the Lords temple, but none of them took down the Asherah poles. Once the prophet died they ignored all they had done to restore the temple and worship the Asherah poles instead. 

God than speaks through the prophets son and says, your disobedience is keeping you from prospering. You have abandoned me to worship another god. I have abandoned you. 

It's not enough to follow the instructions of God, obedience is better than sacrifice. You must choose to obey his law. The law says have no other Gods  before me. In order to make yourself prosperous, obey the commands of the Lord.

A: The Lord has command I fast and pray. The focus, my marriage. How to interact with John as he battles this problem and how to overcome it together. As I fast and pray I focus my entire being on God which will get my mind, body and spirit back in alignment with God. I know what I need to do yet instead of doing it I'm abandoning God by focusing on eating unhealthy and its effects. I don't want God to abandon me. 

P: Husband daddy, I need you. Your name is grace and mercy. I don't want to ignore your instructions nor disobey your commands. I desire to bring your kingdom down to earth through fasting and intentions prayer. I want to fully be aligned with your will for every area of my inner and exterior life. I need guidance on which fast to do and how long. I can do a three day fast. Starting today with small meals, tomorrow with raw fruits and veggies, Monday juicing, Tuesday just water, Wednesday juicing, Thursday raw veggies and fruit, Friday small meals. My focus is to realign my marriage and body to you. I have never done an appropriate fasting and am very nervous. I don't want to fail you nor focus on the benefits so much that I become unfocused. Having all of me includes my eating. Aligning my body with your design. Give me self control and discipline through this. Strength the money to provide for the household meals and the fasting meals. Deliver me from anything that is not of you. Don't abandon me oh God. I give you all of me!!!! Starting now. I open my heart and mind to reconnect and realign with your heart. I'm matching my actions with my words. Have all of us! I give you all of me, I'm yours, have your way. Less of me and more of you!!!! You are awesome God!!!! I pray this all through the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Navereth, amen.

Downsized

S: “Nonetheless the LORD said to Jehu, “You have done well in following my instructions to destroy the family of Ahab. Therefore, your descendants will be kings of Israel down to the fourth generation.” But Jehu did not obey the Law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam had led Israel to commit.”

2 Kings 10:30-31 NLT

O: Jehu was anointed, feared and followed Gods instruction.  Yet he failed to obey Gods law with all his heart. Jehu refused to turn from the sins Jeroboam led Gods people to commit. Therefore, despite his anointing and being feared God allowed his territory to be conquered, to be downsized.

A: I am anointed and have Christ like compassion and authority. I am able to follow Gods instruction in relation to my mind or external factors in serving and speaking. However, I am refusing to obey God with all of my heart.  I'm praying, God I want to give you my burdens yet I still indulge in all types of food. God simply says cast your cares on him. If I don't figure out how to do that, my calling will be downsized. 

P: Abba, how do I cast all my cares on you. In Jesus name, amen.

Confidence vs Arrogance

S: “But when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes in dismay, he sent this message to him: “Why are you so upset? Send Naaman to me, and he will learn that there is a true prophet here in Israel.””

2 Kings 5:8 NLT

“But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.” But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the LORD his God and heal me! Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage.” 2 Kings 5:10-12 NLT

“But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’””

2 Kings 5:13 NLT

“Then Naaman and his entire party went back to find the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives, whom I serve, I will not accept any gifts.” And though Naaman urged him to take the gift, Elisha refused.” 2 Kings 5:15-16 NLT

O: Elisha was confident in who he was becuase of the authority and which he stood. 

Due to the authority given to Elisha his simple instruction will heal. There is no need to be seen, just to be heard. Yet Naaman had his own expectation of how he should be healed. Since Elisha didn't fulfill his expectation Naaman was going to miss out on his healing. 

Many of us are like Naaman, when things don't go the we expect it we miss out. Since we are accustomed with things in life being hard, if things are not we doubt a simple instruction from God. Someone else has to convince us to accept God instruction. 

When God does a work through you, you have already received the greatest gift. In some cases receiving a gift for what you're called to do, what God is doing through you, may seem like it is about you. You'll forget it's about God whines doing the work.

A: Having confidence in the authority God has given me is not the same as showing arrogance becuase of the authority. Knowing the difference is cricial to my growth.

God works in the simplicity in life as much as he does in the difficult. Accepting that truth will help me be a better leader and speaker. I can't miss out on what God can do through me because things seem too simple or too hard. My life is an example,along with his word of Gods work, I don't need outside sources to convince me of his power.

I can't get paid for speaking yet. If I do, I'll be rescuing my families financial crisis instead of allowing God to do the work. All the glory will be given to me instead of to its rightful owner, Christ. 

P: Lord, you are God and King. You reign over all! You are my everything. The last few days I have chosen to accept the enemies way of dealing with emotions instead of coming to you with my burdens. Will you forgive me for not trusting in you. As I continue to establish the foundation of my kingdom may I stand on the principle of your word and execute your will accordingly. It's time for me to grind. No longer will I hold back from your good work through me. I am not defeated by my past for you have overcame it all. There's no room for pride in the places I go. I can't afford my ego to lead nor my arrogance to take over. Your authority in me is much too great to hand over to the enemies schemes. Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. I want to go wherever you have called me. Strengthen me daily to worship you. Deliver me from my Jacon sonincan walk into my Israel! Keep my thoughts away from feeling less. My best is among me and is yet to take over my entire being. May I be filled with your presence and only live on your words. I am desperate for you. I am desperate for a change. Take me, just a little bit higher. So I can get closer, to you my God. Through the name of Jeaus Christ, amen.

Accept Gods Will

S: “You have been deceived by your own pride....even if you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down,” says the LORD.” Obadiah 1:3-4 NLT

O: Yesterday's devotion, gaining respect by consulting God instead of self. Last nights class, using our decision style to help plan and make decision Gods way. This mornings first reading, commiting to God fully. Giving total submission of our lives that even when we don't get our way, we know it is his will, not ours.  God is making me aware that the positions I have been called too can easily put me in a place where I am manipulating from my pride. Or jumping into things outside of my calling and failing at it becuase it's not what I'm suppose to be doing. I need to stay humbly in my lane or God will bring me crashing down. 

A: I'm overall a perfectionist. Often feeling defeated before I start becuase I feel as if I don't deserve it then I think what if I can't fulfill it to the extent people think I can. Therefore I jump into things I have no experience doing a horrible job but try to do the least I can to keep it together so people can continue to rely on me. It is deter mental to who I am and who God has called me to be to plan and make decisions humbly in accordance to his will. Pride and failure to be the true Liz will lead to destruction. 

P: Your will I live for Abba Father!!!! I surrender all to you oh prince of peace! My dominion is public speaking from a theological and psychological perspective. Anything above and beyond that is not mine to take. I am not called to do everything, I can let go of pride and allow others to help. I can accept Gods will for my life by living in total submission to the call. Give me today the willingness to truly surrender God. I don't want you to have to crash me down. Deliver me from all things not is you. The emotions that all me to feel less when you have told me I am more!!!! I know you love me. Through that love I will build your kingdom. Jesus reign in this place. You are wonderful!!!! I pray this all through the name of Jesus Christ of Navereth, amen.

Respect

S: “Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, I wouldn’t even bother with you except for my respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah.”

2 Kings 3:14 NLT

O: Who is King Jehosaphat that the prophet only had respect for him? So far in scripture he's the man that has consulted God before he does anything. He consults God and only executes from Gods behalf. He has discernment to know who is a prophet of God or not. It was his faith that gave him respect.

A: Something is happening here. Here amongst me. Gods work is truly continuing and is going to a deeper and higher level.  In the past I was arrogant and often spoke from my ego. Yet in humility I am taking my rightful place by putting God first and therefore as Jehosaphat I will be respected.

P: Rest, rest, rest, the thing I need most and the thing I get the least. No rest me and I can't fulfill my duties to you appropriately. Oh strength of my weakness, your name is great! Your kingdom is here and I choose to take dominion according to your will!!!! I will not cease giving you praise! Give me daily discipline to do what I need to do to fulfill my roles. Deliver me from whatever is keeping me awake and hiding my attention shows. I long to focus on next level thinking. Thank you for all you have done. I pray this all through Jesus stx, amen

I choose life

S: “Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will you join me in battle to recover Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “Why, of course! You and I are as one. My troops are your troops, and my horses are your horses.” Then Jehoshaphat added, “But first let’s find out what the LORD says.””

1 Kings 22:4-5 NLT

“So the king of Israel summoned the prophets, about 400 of them, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I hold back?” They all replied, “Yes, go right ahead! The Lord will give the king victory.” But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not also a prophet of the LORD here? We should ask him the same question.””

1 Kings 22:6-7 NLT

“King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, dressed in their royal robes, were sitting on thrones at the threshing floor near the gate of Samaria. All of Ahab’s prophets were prophesying there in front of them. One of them, Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, made some iron horns and proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: With these horns you will gore the Arameans to death!” All the other prophets agreed. “Yes,” they said, “go up to Ramoth-gilead and be victorious, for the LORD will give the king victory!” 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 22:10-14 NLT

““Arrest him!” the king of Israel ordered. “Take him back to Amon, the governor of the city, and to my son Joash. Give them this order from the king: ‘Put this man in prison, and feed him nothing but bread and water until I return safely from the battle!’” But Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, it will mean that the LORD has not spoken through me!” Then he added to those standing around, “Everyone mark my words!”” 2 Chronicles 18:25-27 NLT

“Meanwhile, the king of Aram had issued these orders to his chariot commanders: “Attack only the king of Israel! Don’t bother with anyone else.” So when the Aramean chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat in his royal robes, they went after him. “There is the king of Israel!” they shouted. But Jehoshaphat called out, and the LORD saved him. God helped him by turning the attackers away from him.” 2 Chronicles 18:30-31 NLT

O: 1 To ask was seem less. As if it was something he habitually did. 2 Not every prophet is a prophet of God. 3 Even though the prophet spoke against the victory the King still went to Battle. 4 Jesophat stayed true to his word that they are one but since he consulted the prophet of God, God spared his life. 5 A random arrow shot in the crowd hit the king directly and he bleed out by evening. 6 When God speaks his words are true and comes to past no matter if the recipient of his message believes or not. The one whom believes will be spared but the one who doesn't believe will see death. 

A: Consult God in every decision. He controls my thoughts, not the behavior of others. Not every one who says Lord Lord are true followers of Christ. Persist to speak to the one who truly is his anointed. Never be afraid to speak out when God has already given you what you need to say. Even if 400 other speakers are speaking the opposite. Let them oppose his words and continue to be loyal but Christ centered and my life will be spared. There are no random acts, God word is intentional. No matter if all who hear the message don't accept it, if I am the one who believes, my life will be spared.

P: Gracious Lord, magnificent and mighty. Holy, holy, holly is your name. Your kingdom is here and it dwells among us. Your will be done in me as I am in this world but not of itt. Just as the prophet Micaiah, as surely as you live, I will say only what you tell me to say. Deliver me from longing the approval of man, may I only long for the approval of Jeaus Christ. Give me this day the power to overcome negative thoughts. May your light and life flow through me. I choose life and blessing in Jesus name, amen

Never Forgetting You

S: “When Judah realized that they were being attacked from the front and the rear, they cried out to the LORD for help. Then the priests blew the trumpets, and the men of Judah began to shout. At the sound of their battle cry, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel and routed them before Abijah and the army of Judah.”

2 Chronicles 13:14-15 NLT

“So Judah defeated Israel on that occasion because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their ancestors.”

2 Chronicles 13:18 NLT

“and he went out to meet King Asa as he was returning from the battle. “Listen to me, Asa!” he shouted. “Listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin! The LORD will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2 NLT

“All in Judah were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found him. And the LORD gave them rest from their enemies on every side.” 2 Chronicles 15:15 NLT

“Don’t you remember what happened to the Ethiopians and Libyans and their vast army, with all of their chariots and charioteers? At that time you relied on the LORD, and he handed them over to you. The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. What a fool you have been! From now on you will be at war.”” 2 Chronicles 16:8-9 NLT

O: They were being attached on every side. They cried out to God and he heard there battle cry and defeated the Israelites. Judah trusted in God  and as a result defeated Israel. God is the prime example of the Golden Rule, do what is done to you. When we stay in his presence, he stays with us. When we seek him we find him. When we abandon him, he abandons us. It is in earnestly seeking him, finding him and staying within the shadow of his mighty that we are given rest from our enemies. We can't forget that it is by our reliance on God that we have made it those far. That he hasn't left us and has defeated our enemies and healed us from our addictions. 

A: Therefore, I must continue to seek, find and dwell in the presence of God. Than my heart shall be fully committed to him and his will for my life and he will see me and strengthen me. If I forget, I will be in constant war.

P: Heavenly Father, holy, holy, holy is your name!!!! I remember you. As a child when I was sexually abused you sheltered me. I remember you. When we were first taken away you reunited us all. I remember you. You gave us safe travels to Denver and kept a roof over our head despite our behavior. I remember you. You held my hand through every struggle, every situation and every circumstance. You have never forgotten me. I remember when you healed me from my addiction and blessed me even though I went against your will. You have always paid attention to the attitude and battle cry if my heart. Even now oh King. You remember me by reminding me of your power. I won't forget you. I won't forget that it was my yearning and out cry for a savior that you heard me and defeated all my enemies and all things from my past. I won't forget that power is on my marriage today. I can't lose focus from my hearts commitment and my souls covenant with you. Not my will, but yours be done. I'm never forgetting you. In Jesus name, amen!!!

Was The Will of God

S: “The leaders of Israel summoned him, and Jeroboam and all Israel went to speak with Rehoboam. “Your father was a hard master,” they said. “Lighten the harsh labor demands and heavy taxes that your father imposed on us. Then we will be your loyal subjects.” 2 Chronicles 10:3-4 NLT

Then King Rehoboam discussed the matter with the older men who had counseled his father, Solomon. “What is your advice?” he asked. “How should I answer these people?” The older counselors replied, “If you are good to these people and do your best to please them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.” But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers. 2 Chronicles 10:6-8 NLT

The young men replied, “This is what you should tell those complainers who want a lighter burden: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist! Yes, my father laid heavy burdens on you, but I’m going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!’” 2 Chronicles 10:10-11 NLT

So the king paid no attention to the people. This turn of events was the will of God, for it fulfilled the LORD’s message to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh. When all Israel realized that the king had refused to listen to them, they responded, “Down with the dynasty of David! We have no interest in the son of Jesse. Back to your homes, O Israel! Look out for your own house, O David!” So all the people of Israel returned home. But Rehoboam continued to rule over the Israelites who lived in the towns of Judah.” 

2 Chronicles 10:15-17 NLT

“‘This is what the LORD says: Do not fight against your relatives. Go back home, for what has happened is my doing!’” So they obeyed the message of the LORD and did not fight against Jeroboam.” 2 Chronicles 11:4 NLT

O: The older counselors were the ones to bring King Rehoboam into a higher level of kingship. However, it was God's will that he chose to remain in the old and go through with the advice of the younger counselors. What is God's will for us? King Rehoboam's section led the dynasty of David to their rightful place, over Judah. As we foresee God's will was beyond King Rehoboam's decision. In chapter 11 God prevents them from fighting against each other for it was his doing, his will, his command. It's easy for us to get caught up in the content that we miss the context. We are not King Rehoboam, God is not using us to remain in our old selves in order to make manifest his promise. In our rue selves we are King David, God's will is to keep our dreams, our desires, his promises to us alive! He has greater things in store for us and going against his will and fighting with our relatives is not what he has purposes for us. The Messiah is later revealed through David's Kingship. God is revealing his son through our obedience to his will, commands and promises. 

A: Follow Gods instructions for my life and not get distracted by the content. Look at the entire context, God is making a way and only is his doing. Go forth into ministry, into the business and into psychology everything else will follow ship.

P: You are the King of kings! Powerful is your name. Your kingdom is here! I take dominion and spread your kingdom through out the earth. Heaven is here and it's praises delight over us. Your promises have already gone before me, I cling to you and your guidance to every area you have called me into, public speaker, ministers license and psychology degree. Deliver me from all former things! You have overcome!!!! I want to think the thoughts you think toward me oh God. I want to see myself through you. For you see victory when I see defeat. Precious Lord I think my self in my victory, II donor identify my thoughts and emotions to food. I don't know the full prayer but God I'm sorry I accepted emotional eating because I was to afraid to come to you with burdens. There is nothing too hard for you and only you can deal with all of me including my thoughts toward myself and my emotional stability. You are sovereign God. I pray this all in Jesus name, amen.
