Joyful

S: “Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the LORD. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths.” Psalms 119:1-3 NLT

“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.” Psalms 119:71 NLT

“You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.” Psalms 119:73 NLT

O: JOYFUL is he who is honest in his values. When his values align with the word of God. JOYFUL is he who lives in obedience to the word of God and seeks after God with their whole heart. They are unwavering against evil and walk along the path set out for them. 

A: My suffering has taught me to be he who is joyful. I pay even closer attention to Gods words and make sure it is aligned in my approach to everything. I know who I am, a child of the most high! He made me a powerful compassionate person and created me to use it for his service. I have to have sense to keep myself aligned with his word. 

P: I am nothing without you, oh prince of peace. I am nothing without you oh patient father and faithful deliverer. Great is your name! Holy is your name! Provider and way maker is your name, hallelujah!!!! It is in you that I live! You have established my place in your kingdom. I am nothing without you. You have called me into your will and I will be JOYFUL!!!! All praise be to you oh Heavenly Father. It's in you I live all of my being!!!! I am nothing without you. Give me a yearning after your word daily, may I never turn from it. Forgive me for trying to rush the process, I'd rather be patient in your will, than do and be who I am to be prematurely. I WILL REAP A HARVEST!!!! My season is here. Deliver me from anything that maybe keeping me from getting deeper and closer to you. It's in you I am JOYFUL!!!! I pray this in the living name of Jesus. Amen.

Reverence

S: “Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever!” Psalms 111:10 NLT

“Praise the LORD! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying his commands. Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.”

Psalms 112:1-3 NLT

“What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me. I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.”

Psalms 116:12-14 NLT

O: Reverence of who the Lord is, is wisdom. Doing what he has called you to  do grows wisdom. Therefore we praise God when we are functioning in our gift. Our praise will give us joy and we will delight in every other role we play because we reverence the commands of the Lord. It all comes back full circle and in abundance. It starts to flow to our children and they will succeed in everything. 

A: Because I chose to reverence God. I changed the whole makeup of a generation. My grand babies and great grand babies will be blessed and will be wealthy. They will make a difference!!!! The only way I can repay God for all he has done is to do what he has ordained for me to do in the lighr of his presence.

P: I humbly accept all you have called me to. In Jesus name. Amen.

Obey all the commands

S: ““So now, with God as our witness, and in the sight of all Israel—the LORD’s assembly—I give you this charge. Be careful to obey all the commands of the LORD your God, so that you may continue to possess this good land and leave it to your children as a permanent inheritance. “And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.””

1 Chronicles 28:8-10 NLT

“Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly.”

1 Chronicles 28:20 NLT

“Give my son Solomon the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build this Temple, for which I have made these preparations.””

1 Chronicles 29:19 NLT

O: David is the example of the command he is leaving. He's saying in order for you to possess the land, you have to obey the command and because you obeyed the command the land will be given as a permanent inheritance to your children. We pave the way for our children. He prepare them for what God has called them to. Oh what joy it would be to pave the way for Kamea and provide the proper preparations for her to flourish! Whoo, that in my passing she will not want for anything but receive all God has for her through me. David says all this than puts it into action by blessing his son. I today pray the same over Kamea.

A: “Kamea, my daughter, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you. Be strong, and do the work.””

“Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly.”

P: Sovereign Lord, you are worthy to be praised. Your name is higher than any other. You have commanded your kingdom to come amongst us it is and heaven. You have also commanded your will to be done in my life. By me obeying these commands it automatically gives Kamea the permanent inheritance. “Give my daughter Kamea the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build up what you have called her to build, for which I have made these preparations.”” By me completing the necessary steps to launch the business according to your command I set Kamea in motion permanently. Forgive me for dragging my feet and not giving my all to your commands. Deliver me from fear and doubt. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

You who love the LORD

S: “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.” Psalms 97:10 NLT

O: Evil, wickedness and demons all exist. Therfore it is important to love the Lord for in him there is protection. In him he defeats the power of evil, wickedness and demons! 

A: To be evil, wicked and being lead by demons is real. Yet the more I hate evil and love God by clinging to his spirit and truth, the more he will show up and rescue me. I have the power to conquer fear for I belong to God.

P: I surrender all! I surrender all! All to you my awesome creator! Faithful is your name! I belong to you and your love oh Lord. Your kingdom is my home and your will is my resting place. Forgive me for not making this time with you sacred. Deliver me from fear and may my soul rest easy in your love God. I love you Lord and I honor you. Be with me, protect me and rescue me from evil, wickedness, and demons for your name sake. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

The Lord speaks through

S: ““The Spirit of the LORD speaks through me; his words are upon my tongue. The God of Israel spoke. The Rock of Israel said to me: ‘The one who rules righteously, who rules in the fear of God, is like the light of morning at sunrise, like a morning without clouds, like the gleaming of the sun on new grass after rain.’ “Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, he has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success.”

2 Samuel 23:2-5 NLT

O: Gods words are in my mouth and speak through me by the power of the Holy Spirit. If I rule my home based on godly righteousness, and in fear of God when I stand confident in my values I speak in love. My words won't pierce the heart but as calming and powerful as the light of sunrise it will gleam over the heart. Therfore, God has promised to bless my children. He has chosen them as the changed generation. He has worked out every detail and ensures their safety and success. 

A: I am where I need to be. Finish the core values and make them clear. Write out life goals, begin with the end to execute those goals and make yearly, monthly, weekly, daily smart goals to complete them. Once I set in stone my core values the more defined they will be to execute in every area of my life without wavering from the spirit that is within me.

P: Magnificent Father, there is none like you. Holy and righteous is your name. Your kingdom is here, your will is being refined within me. I pray for creative juices to flow from me, may my goals align with your will and your word. May I continue to daily develop and not stray from my values. Forgive me for not being in alignment sooner. May I be diligent in all you have called me to do as your child, wife, mother, Liz, my education and my business. Making sure my house is in order and my finances are managed are responsibilities to my family. I can't neglect who I will become and continue to be in the process. My personal development is apart of my education. Delver me from slothful ways and set me in the place I should follow. You are worthy. I praise you and thank you for awakening my amazing!!!! You're awesome, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Wait Expectantly

S: “O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.” Psalms 5:1-3 NLT

O: This verse stuck out to me right away but I wasn't going to chose it because it said, "expectantly." In marriage they tell you not to expect things from your spouse but to live in anticipation. We usually have a high level of expectation from our spouses or for people in general. However, when going over this verse, I was doing the former, why would I pray and expect something from God, I'm not suppose to live in expectation. I realized that it's different, I can have a high level of expectation from God, he has never failed me. Waiting expectantly is given faith to my request. 

A: I know God hears me as I pray. I know without a shadow of doubt he pays attention to my every groan, whimper or cry. He listens and is excited with me and celebrates with me. Oh what a king, oh what a God! He alone I pray to and long to be in his presence. Every morning he here's my voice and is delighted to hear from me. Every day I bring request to God, it would be foolish of me to not wait, delay action, expectantly, look forward to. My problem is that I over analyze everything instead of delaying my response to everything and look forward to Gods answer to make sure I am in alignment with his plan. That is what made David a man after God's heart, he was aligned with God.

P: I don't know if it's possible, great and mighty God to be a woman after your own heart in this day and age. You are magnificent and holy! Your kingdom is here, your will for me is to help build it. Daily I pray never have I prayed expecting. My subconscious and I forgive myself for living in fear and doubting you as I pray. Deliver me from not having full trust in you. You are amazing God. Fill me up with more of you. I wait in expectation of my dreams becoming reality in Jesus name, amen

Who is this man?

S: “Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “My own son is trying to kill me. Doesn’t this relative of Saul have even more reason to do so? Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to do it. And perhaps the LORD will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses today.”" 2 Samuel 16:11-12 NLT

“The king was overcome with emotion. He went up to the room over the gateway and burst into tears. And as he went, he cried, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you! O Absalom, my son, my son.”” 2 Samuel 18:33 NLT

O: Who is this man? Once again David is fleeing from his own London and kingship because someone is after his position. David was anointed as King, it was his purpose not his right. Absalom wanted to take his position as his own then killing his father. David runs into a relative of Saul who wants to kill him for taking the position of King fron Saul. Who is this man, David that despite Saul relative and his own son his response is let the Lord handle that perhaps he will see I am being wronged and bless me. Who is this man? Although his son had pre planned to kill him, assembled the whole Israelite army to do so, than hearing of his sons death responds, it only it was me instead. Who is this man? The man God himself appointed and anointed as King.

A: Who am I and what is my response? I was appointed and anointed to speak. The field I am getting in is hard to maintain but it's not my position, it's my calling. I can't predetermine in my mind what in going to do. It's not about me. David let go and let God handle the situation. His son died but David's anointing wasn't any less. Who am I and what is my response?

P: Sovereign God, holy is your name. Your kinship is here and it wrings blessings over me. I have yet to be in want. Your will has been appointed and anointed over me. Yet daily I neglect giving my time and attention to my craft. Forgive me for not listening to you and executing may my response be different. May my response be like David, spirit led in the anointing. Deliver me from old paradigms. Shift my thinking and renew my mind. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Bring us back

S: “All of us must die eventually. Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God does not just sweep life away; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him.” 2 Samuel 14:14 NLT

O: First of all. Joab sent for a woman who had a reputation of great wisdom. Although Joab gave her the words to say, her voice portrayed the wisdom. He could not have chosen just any woman to carry the message to the King. I love this verse, we all sin, therefore it is inevitable that we will all day but Gos doesn't allow us just to exist just to die, he provides a way to unite us to him. He brings us back, and plans to will not have separation between us. Wow! What an awesome God!!!!

A: I will one day see death yet God chooses a plan for my life that will never separate us. My trueself is found in the presence of God.

P: God you are greater, God you are stronger. Your name is higher than any other. In your kingdom there is healing. Your will for my life is power. Daily you work out a plan my God, that will draw me back to you! You are a good good father!!!! You forgive me and you are for me. I forgive, from my new knowledge of sexual abuse, all the men who came against me sexually. I forgive Javon, Feliciano, Chauncy, Boo, the guy from high school, the guy in the bus, the guy from the bus stop, Sebastian, Jerry, John, all the others I forgive them and I forgive me. The old Liz, the things of the past can longer stop me because you didn't forsake me in my weakness. You are with me and deliver me from my enemies. Your rod and your staff they comfort me. Therfore no one can stand against me. Yours is the kingdom and power and glory forever and ever, and ever in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazereth, amen!!!!

M

I still praise!

S: “The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.” Psalms 32:8-10 NLT

“Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you.” Psalms 51:11-13 NLT

“With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.” Psalms 86:12-13 NLT

P: I love you Lord!!!! And I lift my voice, to honor you oh my soul rejoice. Take joy my king, in what you hear! Let it be a sweet, sweet sound to your ear. God I'm broken hearted. Yet I trust your path you have set before me. I believe you have different avenues to advise me as you watch out doesn't well being. I vow to not get out of control. I am no longer the old Liz and don't activate in fear but out of your in falling love toward me. I WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE! Although I lacked the knowledge, doesn't mean you didn't fulfill your part. Restore joy, restore my salvation oh God. I am willing to obey your commands although my view is cloudy. It is who I am becoming in this process that I will teach the rejected and hopeless who you are and they will return to you. Despite the news, I praise you with my whole heart!!!! For your glory you have allowed me to come out!!!! I praise your name!!!! Glory to you!!!! You have brought me out of sexual abuse. I was sexually abused in my own household as a child. Yet you saved me, your love is grateful toward me! You've always provided for me! Great is your name!!!! You have truly  rescued me from the depths of death. You are worthy of my praise!!!! You are awesome! You are magnificent!!!! Oh what a forgiving God. Here me oh Lord here my cry and replace the pain with love!!!! Overflow!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! In Jesus name!

I'm committed

S: “In the spring of the year, when kings normally go out to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to fight the Ammonites. They destroyed the Ammonite army and laid siege to the city of Rabbah. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem.” 2 Samuel 11:1 NLT

“Later, when Bathsheba discovered that she was pregnant, she sent David a message, saying, “I’m pregnant.” Then David sent word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent him to David.”

2 Samuel 11:5-6 NLT

“Then he told Uriah, “Go on home and relax. ” David even sent a gift to Uriah after he had left the palace.” 2 Samuel 11:8 NLT

“Then David invited him to dinner and got him drunk. But even then he couldn’t get Uriah to go home to his wife. Again he slept at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guard.” 2 Samuel 11:13 NLT

“So the next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and gave it to Uriah to deliver.”

2 Samuel 11:14 NLT

“When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. When the period of mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her to the palace, and she became one of his wives. Then she gave birth to a son. But the LORD was displeased with what David had done.” 2 Samuel 11:26-27 NLT

“You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.”” 2 Samuel 12:12 NLT

“David begged God to spare the child. He went without food and lay all night on the bare ground.” 2 Samuel 12:16 NLT

“Then David got up from the ground, washed himself, put on lotions, and changed his clothes. He went to the Tabernacle and worshiped the LORD. After that, he returned to the palace and was served food and ate." 2 Samuel 12:20 NLT

“Then David comforted Bathsheba, his wife, and slept with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and David named him Solomon. The LORD loved the child”

2 Samuel 12:24 NLT

O: David wasn't suppose to be at home. He was left in a vulnerable situation by not being where he was suppose to be. In his vulnerability he made a mistake by sleeping with someone else's wife and getting her pregnant. Than tried to cover it up. He got other people involved in hidding his mistake. He tried using bribery on the husband to sleep with his wife, but he refused to. His fellow brother are dying, why would he go in enjoy himself for even a moment. When bribery didn't work. David tried to force Uriah to go home and sleep with his wife, but Uriah was loyal to the army. Uriah the. Delivers his own death sentence. David was commited to death to hide his sin. Uriah was commited to death to be loyal to his army. David was more concerned about what the army was doing the. His guilt for killing a guy to cover his own butt. Without any regard to anyone else David was persistent in making his mistake apart of his life. God was not pleased with David's behavior. God doesn't speak to David directly about it. He's furious. He sends someone else to communicate his disappointment and he communicates in a parable. What we do in secret, God will handle in the light.

He prayed and fastes and pleaded with God to spare the life of his child, but had no guilt for killing another man. Yet after his child died, he worshipped God. Out of David's greatest sin was birthed a great great legacy. Not by what he did, but his response: worship. God was still gracious to David. He still fulfilled the promise to the next generation. When God handles a situation he moves on. There is no lingering of disappointment. David continued to be prosperous.

A: What a chain of events in David's life. What a chain of events in my own life. What am I commited to, my sin or my loyalty to God? To battle and overcome or to secretly sweep it underneath the rug. I can lie about my struggle with food, but it's a public matter. The results are obvious and will hinder my dreams. Out of this struggle will come another child, but I can't without conquering the battle and becoming healthy. God is known for being a promise keeper. David in his guilt worshipped. Just as he put Uriah in the frontline to kill him, I'm putting myself on the frontline to be killed. Am I willing to worship in my guilt and get to the place God has called me to. There is no way around the process. Like David, I was in a situation I should not have been in and food has been my hidden pleasure. I can't risk killing myself in place of fulfilling Gods will for my life. My future children depend on it.

P: Wow God, that was a heavy message in this devo this morning. Abba father, come down from heaven and be with me now. I want to be where you are. Forgiver is your name. Your will for my life is to bring people to themselves and into your kingdom here on earth to become like it is in heaven. Give me you, your strength today father, your strength daily. I need you to survive this life and specifically this battle in my weight. Forgive me Lord as your servant has already forgiven. Lead me to still waters for your name sake and take away from me the desire to fill myself with unhealthy food. Slow we me from theme my within that is not allowing me to overcome. Be with me in a way you never have been before. May instant living new in my heathy right now, in the night powerful name of Jesus! Amen.

Take my heart

S: “If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”

Psalms 66:18 NLT

O: Our faith causes action, our action causes God to react. His reaction fuels our faith. 

The sin of his heart. All of life flows from the heart, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The psalmist confesses his distortion, his suffering, his sin, the old him, the old behavior that flowed from his heart and out of his mouth. Only then God listened.

A: God listens because I laid down my heart. The flow of my heart was lies and manipulation. The abundance of my heart was hurt and pain and that's what came out of my mouth. I was a misfit that God is using to transform lives. What is it going to take for me to be fully convinced?

P: Take my heart and let it be just like yours, I didn't understand what I was singing. Plant my feet in your path. I remember listening to it on repeat. Forgetting what's behind me, moving ahead. Your will God I live for!!!! I asked you to take my heart, the flow of my life and the abundance of my words to be like you. To plant me, uproot me from the path I was on and to put me on your journey for my life. Leaving the past behind me and moving ahead in you. That above all your will, for your glory I would live. I pray again sovereign Lord, take me to that higher level. I long to be closer to you!!!! In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Begin with the end in mind

S: ““If the Arameans are too strong for me, then come over and help me,” Joab told his brother. “And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, I will help you. Be courageous! Let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. May the LORD’s will be done.”” 1 Chronicles 19:12-13 NLT

“May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers.”

Psalms 20:4-5 NLT

O: There is nothing to hard for the Lord!!!! Again I say NOTHING IS TO HARD FOR THE LORD!!!! Though you may be attacked at every end and tour enemies may be too strong. Have courage. Be brave. Remember who you are fighting for and let Gods will be done. They went into battle with the end in mind, Gods will. 

A: I keep saying God do your will, God do your will. It's time to stop talking, be courageous, for he has made me brave. It's time to begin with the end in mind. At the end I want them to say, she fulfilled Gods will and helped encourage us to fulfill Gods will for our lives. It's time to begin with the end in mind. I have been real with God. I have become real with myself and have been real with others. I know my identity and I know him and his presence is here. It's to make God known.

P: My prayer today sovereign God. As I call on your name, Jehovah Nissi, for I need your victory! May you grant my hearts desires and make my plans succeed as it fits to your kingdom. Give me joy daily as I tap into the power from within. When you forgive me as I have forgiven and I experience your victory I will declare it is you!!!! You who answered my prayers, you who humbled me, loved me, made me courageous and brave. I stand in confidence of who I am in spirit. Go with me in battle and in victory. You alone, are good! I pray I leave this room, but never from your presence. In the night name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, amen.

As for me

S: “But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.”

Psalms 73:28 NLT

P: God I'm sorry. I did not come into your presence in anticipation of receiving you word. I have a a headache and am tired. Nevertheless, I am honored to be amongst you and dwell within your spirit. You mad me victorious, I have made you my protecter and my comfort. I will never forget what you have done oh God and therefore use my gift to let the whole world know how great and how awesome you are. Please be with me today as I build these PowerPoints, reveal to me the images you are wanting to chose. You are a great God, thank for healing over my body in Jesus name, amen.

Lord made

S: In fact, the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.”

2 Samuel 8:14b NLT

O: Not by popular demand nor by opinion, David succeed in life by heavenly design. David didn't have victories, he was victorious, he was Lord made.

Lord made; brought into existence, by shaping, changing, molding, building, developing and combining his parts, calling, passion, personality, leadership style, and life expereience. David was Lord made! Lord made doesn't follow the pillar by day nor the fire by night because when you're Lord made, the Lord goes wherever you go. 

A: Wherever I go, you go, I'm Lord made to be victorious. When things in the Bible are consecrated, they are sacred. Only to be handled with priestly care. They are not to have any spot or wrinkle, they are the highest quality. When things are consecrated, they are tailored to be Lord made. Just as I am to love myself first, accept I am loveable by God in order to love others. If I am to bring victory, be a bringer of victory, I am first victorious. It's a fact, look in his word. David first had to be victorious as a Shepred, as a he fought Goliath, as he ran from Saul so that when he finally stepped into his position, he knew how to succeed in victory. 

P: "Dear child need I remind you of who you are, in me. You are hand picked, chosen as my sacred servant, Lord made and victorious. I am already with you. Remember who you are!"

O2: When Daivd got into his position he prayed how to prayers not being prayers. He already was who he needed to be, a man after Gods own heart. He was Lord made.

A2: I am Lord made, tailored uniquely to being victory by being victorious. I Therfore cannot be any less than sacred. I can't bring people into whom they are without fully being who I am. However the wight needs to be perceived. It needs to be dealt with. Deal with it and move on. The longer I whine and cry about where I am in my health the longer it'll take for God to use me fully. My message will be heard, but no trust will be earned. I need to live out Luke 2:52, “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (NIV) Stature is the degree of development of a person: the stature of a champion. Or the quality or status gained by growth, development, or achievement. A persons natural height in an upright position. People may see God in a different skin color but all will agree he was a man of great stature. It's time I get back to my natural upright position by building and developing a good quality of health by growth and achievement! Jesus was Lord made!

P2: My prayer simply is execution. May I not forget I am your sacred servant and need to get back to my natural quality. In Jesus name.

Only in you

S: “May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.” Psalms 25:21 NLT

“Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.”

Psalms 33:22 NLT

“I said to myself, “I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.”” Psalms 39:1 NLT

“We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.”

Psalms 39:6-7 NLT

O: Only in you! Your words you have put in my mouth, I am fearfully and wonderfully made in your image.  Therfore, I am protected by truth and my hope is in you. Only in you and you alone, you surround me oh Lord with unfailing love. I must evaluate myself that my words stay only in you and not filled with sin. My words are valuable and should only be used to build otherwise not spoken at all. 

A: My voice is my instrument. Never will a musician miss use there instrument as a tool of anger or revenge. Every word of my mouth has purpose and should only be positive otherwise give it to God, go to God for all truth is only in him. 

The key to my success in mastery of this level is to be efficient with my words and time by creating new habits, the 7 habits. Living in rush leads to nothing but tiredness and exhaustion. I am unable to fulfill my calling when I'm exhausted. My words are not focused and intentional but over thought and useless. Yes my gift will make room for me but it not about worldly wealth that I succeed, it's all about storing my treasures in heaven. 

P: Only in you great King is all of my hope. For your name is hope. Your kingdom is hope on earth as your exemplifies heaven. Daily if I long after hope, hope will give me strength to carry on my time and words efficiently. Forgive me for being caught up with the business of life and not putting order as a priority. No longer will I run aimlessly in my day. I will invest my time and words daily. You are God!!!! Only in you I have hope. I thank you and praise you for the guidance in hope. You are wonderful!!!! In Jesus name, amen!

"Do what you have promised"

S: “For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong. He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he sins, I will correct and discipline him with the rod, like any father would do. But my favor will not be taken from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from your sight. Your house and your kingdom will continue before me for all time, and your throne will be secure forever.’”” 2 Samuel 7:12-16 NLT

“Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and prayed, “Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And now, Sovereign LORD, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign LORD? “What more can I say to you? You know what your servant is really like, Sovereign LORD. Because of your promise and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known to your servant. “How great you are, O Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you!”

2 Samuel 7:18-22 NLT

““Now go and say to my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I took you from tending sheep in the pasture and selected you to be the leader of my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before your eyes. Now I will make your name as famous as anyone who has ever lived on the earth!” 1 Chronicles 17:7-8 NLT

O: Who is David that God would bless him and appoint his offspring as the one to build his house? We have seen the importance of the Old Testament fathers bless there first born sons and here is God blessing David's. He will be strong, build my house, his royalty will be secure, God sets himself as father and David's offspring as his son. I will discipline with the rod and my favor will be over him forever. Due to who David was and his relationship with God, God blessed his son. When we see David's son we see God did fulfill his promise. God, do what you have promised!!!! David doesn't get caught up with not being the one to build Gods temple, he worships God for continuing his dynasty. When we look at the genealogy of the King of kings and lord of lords who does it pass through, David!!!! Sauls name has been forgotten, but we still carry on the name of David until this day. Even the apostle Paul name was changed from Saul. Gods like oh no, you're about to do damage for my kingdom, we need to change your name! David prayed to Lord who am I, that you would be so gracious and extend my dynasty for generations. You have brought my family this far. From living in the caves hidding to the city of David! From being hidden from taken my rightful place as King to continuing my dynasty, God, do what you have promised. Even in David's sins, God lifts him up because of who God is, because of his promise according to his will. David's heart after God was stronger than his sins. David fulfilled his calling and God fulfilled his promise. God selected David out of Sheperding to lead his people. David has a shepherds heart and a man after Gods own heart. Therfore leading as a Sheperded is Gods heart. God was with David every where David went. David watched as God defeated his enemies, David his 10,000 they sung. All by the grace of God, and therefore the name of David has been known around the world.

A: Wow, what an observation and what an application to my life. Following God, trusting in his promise and doing what he has called me to be sets my legacy up to be a continued dynasty. My children will be blessed because of who I am in God. That's his promise for hose who love him. My last is what it is and those lies are no longer my reality. I live amongst the creator and he has called me out beyond the shore into the waves. I don't know what is to come after I am gone, but as it has to do with me, I will live in worship to God and at peace with everyone. God has not brought me this far in his grave to turn around and condemn me for what he has forgiven me. He looks past faults and promises me a continued dynasty! I lived in hidding of my calling my entire life by having selective Mutisim. I am still afraid today sometimes to speak up for myself but God has put the less in my mouth before I was in my mothers womb and has appointed me to speak out to nations that they will know there voice and know there worth through him. The call in my life is greater than mynahs and greater than my image. Although I am acceptable, valuable, forgivable and capable in Gods eyes does not mean I am less within my own eyes. I accept I have a weight problem and accept my weight does not define me. I am Gods chosen, he values me and forgives me for being overweight and therfore I am capable of losing the weight. Losing the weight sets me up for a blessing from God that I can not have by being held up. When I fulfill my calling by being my trueself in mind and in body, it gives room for God to fulfill his promises. His promises also for Kamea. As I learn to shepherd her heart and discipline with the rod I also learn to lead with a shepherds heart! It is all by your grace!!!!

P: God, may your inheritance be past done to my children. You give my firstborn the blessing and do what you have promised! You have liked past my faults Heavenly Father, do what you have promised! Am I looking at this all working. If I work Kamea can go to daycare and get the development she needs. It's not about what it cost, it's about what I gain! May I trust you in guiding me to what I need to do for my health. It is time!!!! I am a woman after your heart and you are with me wherever I go. I have seen you take down my enemies and what you triumph after those who have messed with your anointed. Have mercy oh God. 

And continue your grace over me as you make my name great. I just need you to make me famous as I live to make you famous. For it is by knowing you that you will be made known through me. You are amazing God. I pray this all in the faithful name of Jesus, amen.

   

  

I Belong

“Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his presence. Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor.” 1 Chronicles 16:29 NLT

It was for his glory that we succeed. He deserves our praise! We have given our first fruits, it's time to give more for he has given us more. Therfore we bring our offering into his presence and and worship our mighty God, our splendid King!!!!

A: Beyond this apartment, beyond my family, to the ends of the earth he has called me. He alone has brought me here! As I move forward he will not allow any harm to be done to me. I am his chosen!

It is for your glory that I do everything! Beyond my talents, beyond my tithe you deserve an offering, an offering of all I do especially my praise!!!!

Celebrate

S: “Then King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar timber and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built David a palace. And David realized that the LORD had confirmed him as king over Israel and had blessed his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.”

2 Samuel 5:11-12 NLT

O: Your blessing is not just for you. They built it, the Lord confirmed it, David was blessed, all for the sake of Israel.

A: My gift will make room for me because Patrick and Corshawn are building it, the Lord has confirmed it, I will be blessed and all for the sake of the kingdom of God.

P: You have called me and kept were I am. You have brought me back to catapult me forward. You who have started a good work in me before I was formed in my mothers womb will carry out until completion when Jesus Christ returns. Everyday I wake up is a day to execute on doing my part. My gift has brought me here and it will continue to take me to where I'm going. It's time I celebrate all that I am and that you are. I survived it all and I'm still standing by grace!!!! HALLELUJAH thank you, I Jesus name!

All that I am

S: “He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!” Psalms 103:4-5 NLT

Let all that I am praise the LORD.” Psalms 103:22b NLT

“May the glory of the LORD continue forever! The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made! Psalms 104:3 NLT

Psalms 104:34 NLT

O: Christ has taken my sin and gives me life. He bestows on me love and is compassionate in mercy. No more emptiness, for he fills me up with good things! I no longer am down castes by my past for he has renewed me and my gift will now make room for me. 

A/P: Therefore all that I am will forever praise the Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ of Navereth!!!! All that I do is for his glory and he delights in me for I am dearly and wonderfully made in his image! The thoughts I think toward myself are renewed and now are pleasing to him. For if I talk down about myself I speak down toward the God that created me. I rejoice that my thoughts are his thoughts and the joy of my Lord, my Heavenly Father, Christ the King is my strength! In the name of Jesus, I have the victory! I will bring victory!
