Can't Change People..Confident Woman Devotional...by Joyce Meyer.

lion Bite ...Be Still ...Rest is Obedience

Ann, here's your Lion Bites daily prophetic word for Wednesday 18 December 19

Rest is Obedience! In this season of putting down the old and stepping into the new, I am calling you to prioritise rest. Consider this transition period to be the ultimate nap! Allow yourself today to daydream again and notice me in the spaces. Speak rest over yourself as one of the great purposes of your life. Declare rest over yourself as an answer to prayer! Speak it out as a great gift of my Spirit: because it is!  I intended rest as your factory reset - to be implemented as a priority so as to not over-work your engine.  Partner with me today in this place of a mindset shift and put yourself under my authority. For it is in my authority that I demand rest over my people, just as I took rest after my great work of creation. Meet that characteristic of my Lordship today, as I speak REST over your soul! Genesis 2:3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating he had done.

God Will Equip You With What You Need

Last night at Celebrate Recovery at the end of lesson 24 (page 241 in the leaders guide) it says that 

"Principle 8 comes down to this : DO WHAT YOU CAN, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, WHERE YOU ARE".

Then Pastor Micheal told us about "Shamgar" who used what he had at the time which was an Ox Goad and killed 600 Philistines with it.

 So when I came home I Google for some information about it. I didn't even know what an Ox Goad was (I DO NOW LOL) and I found this link which tells us the story of Shamgar 

https://www.ucb.co.uk/content/what%E2%80%99s-your-ox-goad-0

Then in today's Word For Today this stood out "God will only empower you to be what he called and equipped you to be."

Just as it says in the lesson 27 "DO WHAT YOU CAN, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, WHERE YOU ARE".  Because if you have God on your side it dosnt matter what you have you will defeat your enemy. Just like Shamgar with his Ox Goad

God Is Your Strength

Heal Your Body: Pain in Hand and muscles"Rheumatism"

This morning I was reading "Untangled A Devotional Journey by Jen Baker" Finding Freedom today and Hope For Tomorrow.

And one of the questions was " How does the Lord usually reveal blind spots-be it habit or sin-to you? And I wrote one of the ways He uses is my body to let me know.

And I thought about my little book heal you body by Louise Hay. Because My hands and muscles were really sore and I wanted to see what negative thought pattern

In this book Louise gives you th problem you have with your body and the probable cause, then she gives you a New Thought Pattern to help get rid of the problem.

So here is what I wrote down

Hands: Probable Cause-holds and handles, clutches and grips, grasping and lettig go, caressing, pinching. All ways for dealing with Experiences

New Thought Pattern-"I choose to handle all m experiences with love and joy and with ease"

------------------------------------------------------

Carpal-Tunnel-Probable Cause: Anger and frustration at life's seeming injustices.

New Thought Pattern "I now choose to create a life that is joyous and abundant.  I am at ease

-----------------------------------------

Muscles-Probable Cause: Resistance to new experiences Muscular represents our ability to move in life.

New Thought Pattern "I experience life as a joyous dance"

------------------------------

Rheumatism-Feeling victimized lack of love. Chronic bitterness. Resentment.

Probable Cause-"I create my own experiences.As I love and approve of myself and others. My experiences get better and better.

-----------------------------

So I can see it is my experiences in life which are causing me pain. And it says in the book that pain is Guilt, guilt, always seeking punishment.

So from today I am going to change my negative thinking. Yeah some of my experiences in life have caused me pain but as it says above my experience will get better when I stop resisting changes and experience life as a joyous dance. 

I JUST NEED TO KEEP MOVING!!!!!!!!!!

A Cheerful Heart Devotional

Day 1 : A Cheerful Heart. 

The ground of your heart matters to God. A heart that’s submitted to God, produces His Fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. When you allow the things and the cares of this world to contaminate your heart you’ll choke your peace and sabotage your joy. 

The ground of your heart is critical to your spiritual, emotional and physical growth and development. Choose to guard the ground of your heart with the Word of God. There’s a difference between guarding your heart and hardening your heart. 

When you guard your heart, you’re guarding the ground of your heart with the Word of God. His Word protects you. When you guard your heart, you’re allowing God’s Word to cultivate and till your ground. When you choose to allow the Word to cultivate and lead your heart, you’re choosing to live and walk by faith. 

When your heart is hardened, you’re allowing fear, resentment, bitterness, pride and anger to take deep root. When your heart becomes hardened you’re allowing the cares and entanglements of this world to choke your harvest. Don’t allow the cares of the world to weigh you down and choke your harvest. Declutter the ground of your heart by submitting to God’s Word. When you follow God’s Word, you’ll get His results. 

Proverbs 17:22 NIV

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Day 2 : Follow God’s Way. 

Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ states, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” 

Follow God’s Word and you’ll have good success. Cultivate your ground with His Word and allow His Word to penetrate, navigate and pierce every area of your heart. Protect your heart with His Word. Feed your heart with His Word. 

Watch your counsel. Consider the company you keep. Psalms‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Your counsel is critical to your success. When you fill your life with good, Godly and wise counsel, you’ll have good success. Godly counsel will lead and direct your heart back to God’s Word. The Word of God will feed and water your soul. His Word will satisfy you in every season. 

Ungodly counsel will lead you down a path of bitterness.  Bitter hearts produce bitter fruit. Contaminated hearts sow contaminated seed. Those who produce bitter fruit, will feed you bitter advice. Cast your cares to God, surround yourself with wise counsel and let God lead your heart.

Let His Word guide your path. Psalms‬ ‭23:1-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ states, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” 

When God is your shepherd and overseer of your heart He will satisfy you. When you are connected to God, He will lead and guide every area of your heart. He will cause you to lie down and rest in green and peaceful pastures. His Word leads you down a path of peace and not chaos. When you follow His Word He will give you peace in chaos. He will still your storm. When you choose to fill your heart with His Word He will restore and refresh your soul. The ground of your heart flourishes when you feed yourself with His Word. Choose to nourish your heart with His Word.  

Joshua 1:8 NIV - Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Proverbs 4:23 NIV - Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Psalms 1:1 NIV - Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

Psalm 23:1-3 - The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,  he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name sake 

Day 2 : Come Unto Me.

Jesus states in Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭‬‬, “Come unto me... 

If you’re weary, Jesus says, “Come unto me.” If you’re bitter, His Word says He’ll give you a new heart — a heart of flesh. If you’re full of anxiety, worry and fear, His Word says to cast your cares, fears, worries and anxiety to God — He cares for you. 

If your vision is dry and your heart is tired of trying, Jesus said come unto me. Let His Word heal you. Let His Word make your soul happy. Let His peace overtake you. Let His joy fill your soul. Let His Word comfort you, protect you and guide you all the days of your life. Let His Word go before you and establish your path. 

Surrender to Him and let His power crush every mountain and obstacle in your way. Let His Word heal your heart. He will never be defeated. Depression cannot stand in His presence. Oppression cannot stand in His presence. Rejection cannot stand in His presence. When you surrender to God, He will fight on your behalf. 

Every enemy must bow to Him. Surrender to God, He is bigger than any mountain that you face. Stand still and surrender to God’s mighty hand and the enemy of depression, oppression, rejection, condemnation, guilt, shame, defeat, anxiety and the spirit of heaviness you will see no more.

Matthew 11:28 ESV - Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Exodus 14:13 ESV - And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord , which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.

Psalms 27:14 ESV - Wait for the Lord ; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord !

Thomas Bookmarker

To Yield.....

Slow down as you approach the intersection. Prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians in or approaching the intersection. You must come to a full stop at a YIELD sign if traffic conditions require it. When you approach a YIELD sign, check carefully for traffic, and be prepared to stop.”
