2 Chronicles 30:19- “May the good Lord pardon ¹⁹ everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers…” 

Good morning!  I am praying for each of you to be divinely and supernaturally led by the Holy Spirit.   May He reveal hidden paths that lead to success in unexpected and amazing displays of His favor and grace.   Today, I call forth new doors, opportunities, and anointing.”

The words of Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 30:19 echoed in my heart, calling me to commit or renew my commitment and setting my heart in preparation to pray.

In this account, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, had invaded the land and was like a swarm of locusts devouring everything.  God gave Hezekiah wisdom, courage, favor, and a plan.   He stood before his people and instructed his leaders.  

In 2 Chronicles 32:7-8, the directive was to be strong and courageous.   It was to reject what you see and hear, causing fear and dismay.   Do not look at what the natural eye and the human reason say is reality.   Notice (7b) – “…FOR (Because) there is more with us than with him…”  All he has is what he has, but we have more – We have God.  We have God’s promises.   We have God’s Covenant.

With that mindset, Hezekiah and Isaiah prayed, and God heard them.   He sent His angel that stood before Him and delivered them.

There are two paths before us. We find that trusting God and maintaining an ongoing commitment produces present and eternal help. Conversely, we can become like Israel, as revealed in Psalm 78:36 – “…their repentance last only as long as they were in danger.”  They followed God with their words, not their hearts. Their worship was empty words of flattery.

God’s promise to the faithful is beautifully expressed in Psalm 81:10b – “Open your mouth with a mighty decree; I will fill it now, you’ll see!  The words that you speak, SHALL IT BE!”

Psalm 84:11b – “Those who walk along His paths with integrity WILL NEVER LACK one thing they need, FOR He provides it all!”

The key is Total Commitment and rejection of the lies of flesh.  

Our heritage is peace, power, and prosperity in Him.   Our words spoken from His presence unleash angelic forces to bring our decree to pass!   From declaring His promises, we see the supernatural become visible now!  Therefore, choose your path!  Victory is available NOW!

Have a fantastic day of victory in Jesus!

Psalm 90:1 – “LORD, You have been (not past tense in the sense of no longer but as in Perpetual continuation) our eternal home, our hiding place from generation to generation.”

As I read, prayed, and pondered, Psalm 90:1 grabbed my heart powerfully. The thought flooded my heart—God is eternal. We hear that and, in a measure, believe it. Yet we keep defining God, His Ways, and His Acts in the human element of time constraints.

Psalm 90:4 -“One thousand years pass before Your eyes like yesterday that quickly faded away, like a night’s sleep soon forgotten.”  

The timelessness of God always conflicts with mankind’s time consciousness.   This God, the Creator, who knows Everything, devotes Himself to us.  He is so gracious.  Those of Covenant felt comfortable praying Psalm 90:14-15 – “…only You can satisfy our hearts… 15 We have been overwhelmed with grief; come now and overwhelm us with gladness.  Replace our years of trouble with decades of delight.”   That is a Wow! 

We are sometimes overwhelmed by the bad, and they expected the Lord to overwhelm us with gladness now!   Replace every tear of sorrow with the laughter of life!  Psalm 91 should become a daily meditation for God’s Covenant people.  

Psalm 92:1 unveils the New Testament principle of overcoming and defeating doubt and being down.   We are to come to God with “Uncontainable Praise” spills from our hearts.  Not manufactured and phony attempts to manipulate but the overflow of the heart!

The ageless God reminds us that age is inconsequential to Him.  We don’t have to wither into obscurity.   Psalm 92:13-14 – “You’ve transplanted them into Your heavenly courtyard, where they are thriving before You.  14 For in Your presence, they will still overflow and be anointed. EVEN IN their old age, they will stay FRESH, bearing luscious fruit AND abiding faithfully.”

I love the rendering of Psalm 94:8-13.   God isn’t hard of hearing…isn’t blind, and is watching.  He fully examines our thoughts and sees their limitedness.   When God reveals His ways and word, we are overwhelmed by Blessing.

The ageless, timeless Creator is invested in our time.  As Psalm 94:19 declares, we sometimes let our thoughts get out of control, but God’s soothing presence brings calm and peace, giving clarity and overflowing joy.   What is the answer to life’s problems?  Psalm 95:7-9.  Drop Everything else and Listen to His Voice. 

God’s timelessness is only problematic if we insist on schedules and deadlines.   If we trust Him, truly trust Him – time is not a factor.  Read Hebrews 11 again.

God has and is setting doors, pathways, and choices before us today.   His way to total surrender is the doorway to His heavenly courtyard and flourishing.  

Look up and rejoice—help is on the way and here! Have a fantastic day in Jesus, and remember that the Trumpet is coming soon, very soon!

Psalm 95:7 – “For we are those He cares for, and He is the God we worship.  So, drop everything else and listen to His voice!  For this is what He is saying: “Today, when I speak, don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to Me like they did when they tested Me at Meribah and Massah, the place where they argued with Me, their Creator.  Your ancestors challenged Me over and over with their complaining, even though I had convinced them of My power and love.  They still doubted My care for them.”

What an amazing passage of Scripture.   Today, I sense the urgency to pray for everyone to have God’s ultimate and infinite peace and presence.     

As I read, prayed, pondered, and mused on the Word, the immensity of God echoed in my consciousness.    God demands our attention and our commitment.   He doesn’t always get it because we are sometimes rebellious and self-serving.

Psalm 95:7-9 tells us that we are those He cares about.  “So, drop everything else and listen to His voice!”   Interesting!  God is the speaking God!   He communicates!   When we claim that we do not hear Him, we question His honesty and our condition.   Jesus said, “My sheep, HEAR My voice and follow me.”   If we are His, we hear and know His voice.   The passage continues, “For this is what He’s saying: TODAY when I speak (not if but when), don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to me…”

God speaks in many ways through many things, but He speaks and is speaking.   The question is, are we listening?  Do we even know how to listen?  When we hear Him and know Him, the natural fruit of that is overflowing with praise.

Psalm 100:4 is incredible.   “You can pass through His gates with the password of praise.  (You can) come right into His presence with Thanksgiving…”

That is AMAZING!  We are invited into the throne room of heaven (where He is) through praise and thanksgiving.   No wonder James would tell us to be joyful in trials because joyful praise brings His presence.   Remember, God inhabits (is enthroned) upon the praises of His people.

Praise, gratitude, thankfulness, and revelation through Hearing His voice enable us to live in Him, for Him, and by Him.   He helps us walk the right paths as we become determined to walk them.

The words of the Psalmist in Psalm 102:24 resonate powerfully: “I know my life is not yet finished.”  The focus is not the cessation of natural life but the fulfillment of God’s purposes.

Psalm 103:5 is beautiful, “You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!”  If we are not soaring, why not?  What hinders us from knowing and experiencing God’s fullness?  Whatever it is, it must be forced to shut down and Listen to His voice.   The words He speaks are Spirit and Life.

Today can be the first day of a life of total victory.   Hear Him, and as you Hear Him, you will be transformed.

Can you hear Me now, or yet seems to be God’s question today!   Listen and rejoice. He is the Living God who speaks and desires to fully reveal His desires, plans, and purposes to each of us!  

Have a fantastic day!  I pray that God’s Grace will guide you into the place God desires for you, and you will experience incredible victory and peace!    God bless!

Psalm 106:1 – “Everyone thank God, FOR He is good and easy to please.”

What a concept that a multitude of believers do not believe!   This is a good day because of God’s Grace, Mercy, Love, and Gifts.  The undiscovered treasures and truths wrapped in the unexplored parts of the day will be revelatory and release understanding and blessing.  I am ever grateful for each of you, your deposit in my life, and the joy you bring.  Thank you.

As I read, prayed, and meditated on the Word, several things were refused to allow me to overlook them.

In Job 4, Eliphaz said something powerful.   In Job 4:5-9, he reminded Job of a timeless truth.   We grow weary and allow depression or despondency to prevail when difficulties come.   We become fearful and frustrated over problems and obstacles.   We trust our own perceived or presumed integrity.   The Law of Harvest was his theme.

However, if we focus on ourselves, we miss an even greater revelation, which the Psalmist presented in Psalm 106:1: “Everyone thank God, FOR He is good and easy to please.”

Wow!   That is not the concept of the vast majority of those who profess to be believers.  We struggle to be accepted, thinking our Heavenly Father is hard and harsh.   We try to earn His favor and acceptance.   We revert to the idea of Eliphaz and think like we’ve heard – “God’s gonna get you for that.”

Psalm 105:8 –“For though a thousand generations may pass away, He is still true to His word.”

I love the picture of Psalm 106:3 – “The happiest one on earth is the one who keeps Your word AND clings to righteousness every moment. “

One problem is that we tend to view God as harsh and impossible to please.   Out of that mindset, we make idols of the heart to replace Him.  Before you protest, consider how often we reinterpret God and His Word to accommodate what we want to be reality.

Psalm 106:20 shook me hard.  “They preferred the image of a grass-eating ox to the presence of the glory-filled God.”  Why?  It was less threatening.  They could control an ox but not the living God.  They took a path that was less threatening and less demanding.  We tend to profess our faith but withhold our hearts. 

I see that in today’s genocide.  Psalm 106:37-39 – “They even sacrificed their little children to demon spirits…”  We do it not always by abortion but by opening the door for them to be exposed to the demonic teachings, teachers, and practices that pervert and pollute.   “These dark practices greatly defiled the land AND their own souls…”

God is faithful, loving, forgiving, and easy to please IF…  If?  If we will give Him our all.  We are destined to be victorious examples for the world.

Today, God is calling us to come to Him in full surrender. Too often, we become like those described in Psalm 107:10b: “We were (are) prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets.”  A biblical view of God will deliver us from that bondage. Be free! 

Rejoice and give thanks; today is a day of victory if we will believe and receive!
