Can You Forget It?

 

 “…forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead” Philippians 3:13

Do you have trouble going back to your past and rethinking how you could have reacted differently? It’s probably pretty common and it is a tactic from Satan your enemy, not God. 

If Satan can manage to lure you into the trick of over thinking and reliving stupid things from your past or maybe things that hurt you then you can’t have much spiritual victory. Let go any spirit of anger or offense or you let the enemy right in. 

Whatever it is bothering you today just purpose in your heart you will not go there and camp out. Your ‘pond’ of past memories has a no fishing sign. Remember in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:5 says love keeps no records of wrongs so strive for that goal. 

PRAYER:Father I give you any thing from my past that Satan wants to use to torment me. You are in control and on the throne of my life. I cast wrong thoughts off. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Do Your Thoughts Align With Gods?

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11

Do you allow The Holy Spirit to control your thought life or do you let the weight and problems of this present world cause you to cave to worry? Thinking is one of the biggest areas of a persons life that Satan would like to control. Don’t allow it my friend. 

God’s thoughts for you are good, perfect ones to bring you a future and prepare you for His Heavenly kingdom. 

First and foremost  to have the mind of Christ is to be careful what you dwell upon. Whatever things are wholesome, pure, kind, gentle, loving and forgiving think on those. If you allow anger and agitation to enter you are not thinking Christlike. If you fixate on hurt and pain and how to get even that is not aligning with God. Start making a list of God’s blessings and you will be on the right track to alignment with God. 

PRAYER: Father many times I have allowed unchecked thinking to reign in my brain cells. I don’t want to do that and it is not my intent to dwell on negative stuff. I ask for help to break stronghold of wrong thinking. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Passion In Your Life

“You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

What in your life is the most important or what do you spend your waking hours doing? In answering this question family is top priority in my life hands down. There are things I enjoy doing for recreation. You might have hobbies you enjoy. 

Don’t ever let anything take away the first place position from the Almighty creator of Heaven and Earth. If you have lost your passion for your first love Jesus examine your heart and ask why. Perhaps this world has lured you into its’ trap of comfort and entertainment and time with God is squeezed out. 

Do you want God to be first place and if so what will you do to make it happen? 

PRAYER: Help me Lord to never allow the pleasures and delights of this world make you take a backseat or keep you in the basement of my heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

No Fooling.Jesus Is Lord.

 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. – Proverbs 1:7

Here we are on April Fool's Day and I am sure all of us have had pranks pulled on us or have fooled another person. A fool is a person lacking judgment. 

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to be known as a foolish person. The Bible contains many scriptures about foolish people. Look up the word fool or foolish in your Bible or on the Bible Gateway App and you will find several. 

Being foolish is not a good character trait. And mocking people who are foolish is unkind. So the focus today is not on fooling people or carrying out pranks no matter how fun or quirky some are but instead is in thinking what the word fool real means. April Fool’s Day is referring to the definition as an action verb in tricking others. Go into today’s prankster day just being grateful that you are not a foolish person. 

PRAYER: I yearn to not be a foolish Lord or to do foolish things. Help this day just remain innocent fun for those who participate and give me strength to not walk in foolish ways. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
