I AM TAKING OUT THE TRASH

I AM PUTTING ON RIGHTEOUSNESS

I AM REPLACING EVIL WAYS WITH KINDNESS

I AM FILLED WITH JOY

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

   Every day, the world accumulates a good bit of trash. Every house or apartment has a day to get their trash to a bin or the side of the road so the trashman can pull it. Still, sometimes, with oversleeping, we forget to pull the trash, or we forget it happens. It has happened to my dad a few times.

    I can remember him waking up angry because he missed the trashman, or someone could work in an office, or the janitor might have forgotten to pull the trash, but the problem is missing the moment to pull the trash; if we continue, it’s a pile-up. As trash piles up, it gets stinker and stinker, and nothing can be done until we bring the trash cans or bags to the curb.

 Some of us have trash in our hearts, in our life we must let go of, and when we hold on to this trash (bitterness, rage, anger, malice hurt) all these things we develop this ugly attitude because we haven’t released it if we take our time and look at our heart and mind do you have any trash in there? That needs to go; many people would say to themselves, I don’t have trash in me; this is just an example; no one has trash in them, but things such as bitterness, anger, rage, etc., are spirits that can attach themselves. We won't even know we have them because we have carried them around for so long that we don’t notice, but others do. This trash or issues become our identity, but our identity should look like Christ in this world.

  Ephesians 4:31: Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

 The Bible says to get rid of it. Don’t keep it just like trash. We must eliminate it; the more we keep things like this, the more it will destroy us to the point we won't know who we are. People say their family didn’t know who they were, or no one wanted to be around them when they were holding theses types of spirits. Because of this, we must let go of the trash they store in our hearts. These spirits are quick to come by because we are always around people. We allow what they say and their spirits to grieve us or to offend us, and we carry it, but what we must do with a contrite heart every day, every minute we think about it, is give it to God, like truly release it because if not we will have a problem with our attitudes.

 1 Peter 1:22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

  See, the Bible says we have a purified heart because of the obedience we have for the truth, and when we have this type of heart, it is easy for us to love one another with this type of heart, forgive quickly, love beyond someone's fault, but when we have a heart full of malice and pain and grieve it will be hard for us to love someone, anyone.

   How many of us let things pile up and pile up, and how easy is it to do? It's easy to hold on to every offense, every unkind word, everything, but what we must do every day is say, I release this, and forgive others because the more we hold on to this, the further we get from having a pure heart.

 Colossians 3:12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

  We are told here to put on compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. We must put these things on; it's an option. Some people come into this world with humility, meekness, compassion, and patience, but some don't. We must put this on every day because we are made of the flesh, and the flesh wants to do everything else, but the flesh wants to look out for itself. The flesh wants to do anything opposite of being holy, but the Bible says okay, you must put this on. You must make a choice every day to be this way, so that means to carry it all that we must let go of the trash, we must give it to God and say, God, I don’t want to fill this, and I genuinely want to release this to you, releases this unto God today.

  *** Today, we learned that our trash must be brought to God. We can’t hold on to our ugly ways and attitudes and must give God everything. Sometimes, we like to hold on to old papers and other things because we feel it’s valuable, but holding on to things like this takes up too much room in our house, or rooms and just like these things take up alot of room in the home , just like these types of qualities and characteristics can do the same . we can’t have both those traits and what we must do is give those things to the lord and ask him to help us put on righteous.

  A lot of people always wonder why there is no change in their lives or why there is no change in their hearts. Have you let go of the things that you used to do? You let go of how you used to do things full of evil. Once we become Christians or believers, we must start trying to make a difference in our lives by asking God for the strength to take out the trash. Today, put on love, joy, righteousness, and kindness; don’t allow your ways to stop you from growing the seeds God wants to plant. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

Receiving Grace In Vain

=========================

=========================

VERSE OF THE DAY

========================

+ 2 Corinthians 6:1 As God’s co-workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM NOT OVERUSING GRACE

I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY GRACE

I AM LOVED BY MY FATHER

I AM ACCEPTING MY FAULTS

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

  So, it's this grace that God gives each of us, and the Holy Spirit revealed some things to me and took me to our key verse. When we don’t allow him to change us and we don’t allow him to mold us, we are rejecting his grace. We are receiving it in vain because we aren’t trying to allow ourselves to be close to him. A lot of times, we feel we are okay without reading the word and meditating, but honestly, those things are placed in our walk to help us become closer to him because the more we read our word and the more we pray, it helps change us and as it change us, we allows the Holy Spirit to become one with us and walk with us more and talk with us more .

  That’s why the bible says don’t be just doers or hearers of the word, because we can do both. Still, some feel that I read my word, and I’m done, but no, my friends, we must take the word of God and apply it to our lives. When we deny this, we deny that and we stop denying God. Like Peter from our last devotionals, when we don’t let him cleanse us, we deny and reject his grace.

   2 Corinthians 7:1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

   Every day, grace is given, but if we are just going to ask forgiveness and never change, what is the point? We can't be lazy in our walk with Christ; we must start being persistent and spending time with him. And yes, I know we all are tired, and yeah, we could be .Still, if we continue this path of being okay with our relationship with God being mediocre, we will forever have just less in our relationship with God.

  I'm not saying you don’t have love in your heart, and nor am I saying I do everything out of routine, but what I am saying is allow God in and tell him, God, I feel that my heart isn’t in the right place right now, or that you feel off. He will show you what’s happening , because sometimes our sins can make us pull away because that’s what the enemy wants us to do; he wants us where we deny him, and we soon reject his love, and when we do this, we reject the salvation he gave us.

    Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

    Sometimes, our lives can be so filled with so much that we disconnect, but these are the moments when we must connect on a deeper level with God by being honest; we can't build anything with anyone if our hearts are so heavy with frustration. God's word says to cast your cares on me because I will see you through; we must let him see us through everything, not just the big stuff but in everything because he's waiting to help. He's waiting to pull us from the lust, the pain, and the sorrows, but we must be willing to allow him in to help us through.

    Grace is the most important gift we can have, and some of us overuse it because we don’t understand what we have; we certainly don’t see we can abuse it , if we don’t learn how to allow the change and flow of God’s presence in our lives WE WONT EVER CHANGE , the word tells us our hearts and actions must change, and we can’t get into heaven with the same heart and intentions.

  The Holy Spirit wants us to know how deeply he cares for us and how much we need him, but he won't make us accept the true way. The true way is letting go of what we think and accepting this new mind and new heart of flesh he's trying to give us. Still, he will give us space to do what we want if we keep rejecting. God loves us so much that every day he gives us new grace again and again, but if you notice you're not winning at a particular battle, ask God how you can win at this or how you can conquer this part of your life-giving him all of you he's waiting for every version of you.

  Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

  No, our simple works won’t win us a place in heaven being the nicest person, and even winning souls won’t help us, but what will help us is our heart changing , our minds changing, and accepting God's grace not in vain but as the precious gift it is, and we take every opportunity and every day to change who we are not in our strength but in HIS. The more we continue on this road, the more we will find ourselves in a stubborn place. God wants us to have every opportunity to change, and he’s given us the tools to do it, but if we aren’t going to use and we aren’t going to change, don’t wear out the gift of grace because God will not be mocked, he knows our intentions and the content of our heart. Surrender today to God so he can help you.

  *** Today, we learned that we can’t take the grace we are given and use it in vain. We learned that not receiving it and continuing in the way we are is us using it in vain, and this can happen by allowing false teachers or false doctrine to stay in our lives; we are human. Every person wants to feel that what they are doing is okay, so we listen to people who tell us it’s okay to live this way. It’s okay to love this person, but friends, it isn’t.

   We will be living the same way the Corinthians lived, allowing every person to whisper in their ears and tell them it’s okay to live in a legalistic way. Neither, okay, my friends, nothing we will ever do will win us into heaven, and no matter how good we think we are, it will NOT get us there, but what will get us there is us accepting the gift of grace and r most importantly RELYING on God? Today, if you feel you are living the wrong way, let God know I need you, and I need to change, and he will help you.  ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for the grace you have given us. Forgive us for anything we have done today; we learned about grace, and this week, we learned we need you to cleanse us. Please cleanse us of our sins, lord; help us to be with you and to give you everything; help us to change our ways, lord; we say this every day, but with our whole hearts, we do ask you to help us to have the strength to deny our sins. Lord, we ask that you continue to be our savior and give us the grace and mercy we need to survive. Lord, we thank you and praise your name in Jesus' Name Amen

VERSE OF THE DAY 

========================

+ John 13:8 No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM CLEANSE BY JESUS 

I AM CONTENT 

I AM SEEKING MORE 

I AM COMPLETELY FILLED BY JESUS 

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

     When we allow Jesus to cleanse us, that’s when we are part of him. A lot of us refuse to allow Jesus to clean us up because we don’t want to be part of righteousness and holy living; we feel that it’s unreachable or something unobtainable. I was told one time that it is impossible to live a holy life, but when we live it through him, nothing is impossible; it's hard to live holy when our mind isn’t on Christ; the word of God says let your mind be on things above, our word also says those who stay on the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
  See, we must make choices, and every day, we must pick Christ. And when we allow him to wash us, we become part of him. Still, if we refuse to be washed or allow him to change us and mold us, we aren’t part of him. Jesus loves all his children. He wants us all to be part of him, but if we don���t allow him to make us better and heal us, we will forever be unclean and defiled in his sight.

   John 13:8 8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

  Peter said to him you can't wash my feet. Peter saw this in a You can't touch me because I am just clay, just dirt. How dare I let you wash me? BUT JESUS SEEN PASS HIS INSECURITY AND SEEN HIS NEED; Jesus said I need to wash you. Peter was so humble because he knew who Jesus was, but Jesus told him immediately listen, Peter, if I don’t wash you, you will never be cleansed. 

     How many of us want Jesus to come in and cleanse us? How many of us wish Jesus could wash us thoroughly? And he can. When Jesus washes us, it doesn’t mean our problems disappear. It doesn’t mean that things we struggled with stop. It means we know where our strength comes from. It means we depend on him.

  Luke 5:8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”

    Peter does it again. He said to Jesus, I am not worthy to depart from me. I am sinful. We must understand Peter's perspective. He wanted Jesus to know I am not worth it and not worthy of you being around me. Still, the thing is, friends, Jesus wants to be around us. It doesn’t matter how defiled we are; it doesn’t matter what we did, what crime we committed, or how many times we failed; Jesus wants us.

   Jesus wants us and he humbled himself to came here to give us the grace to give us mercy. Still, many of us don’t want to accept his gift or time because we feel it is something we can do without, and I am telling you, friends, please read what I am typing. This world is cruel and cold, and it means you no good; Jesus came into this world for us so we won't have to suffer. We don’t have to be without Jesus because he loves us; he expressed that in many ways, he loves us, but we can't have any part of Jesus until we are cleansed of our sins. 

   Verse 10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.”

      Some of us are doing this now. We deny God access to our lives, problems, and sorrows because we don’t understand what we are doing and saying, and Jesus is saying, let me wash you, and we are saying no, it's okay. I can handle it, and we can't, but we will forever not make it. We will forever have a problem because we don’t know how to let go; Jesus is saying today, let go of anything, and let me cleanse you. 

   It’s not easy to let go of insecurities and see that we need help or that something about us needs to be removed. It’s not easy accepting help when we see no wrong in ourselves, but when we let go of this idea that our insecurities are a weakness and we see it as something Christ can correct, we will be ready to cling to him for him. Jesus came here to help us face our problems, not hide them and not pretend they don’t exist. But to embrace them by giving them to him. 

  ***Today, we must be as humble as Peter and allow Jesus to cleanse us. Jesus doesn’t want us to deal with our problems and inner thoughts; he wants us to express them to him and for us to know ,he knows exactly what we are feeling . We must allow him to do this, and we must allow him to change every aspect of us; Jesus says this: “ 25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside, they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First, clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside will be clean.” 

   He lets us know here we can put the most expensive things on, we can live in the finest homes and be the most beautiful person in the world, but if we aren’t clean on the inside, we aren’t clean, we aren't acceptable in the sight of the lord.  We must fully be clean, not in just behavior, not in just lifestyle, but all the way around; Jesus must cleanse us, and we do this when we let him change our morals, thoughts, and actions and let Jesus cleanse us today. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, we thank you for today; we ask you to cleanse us of everything, Father; we fully submit to you; please help us to be like you; please help us to stop looking at insecurity and look at your abilities. Father, we thank you for being with us and showing us the way; Father, if there’s anything in us that's blocking us from allowing you to clean us, please remove it, lord thank you for the power and strength to make it through another day. Lord, please break every chain and yoke in our life; in Jesus' Name, Amen

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM NOT AFRAID

GOD QUENCHES MY FEARS

GOD IS MY PROVIDER

I AM LISTENING FOR HIS VOICE

 ********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

   It is hard not to worry about things coming up or things that could have happened. A lot of times, we worry because of fear sitting in, and what we have to do when this fear sits in is rebuke and deny its power and grip because if we don't, fear will grip us so tightly that we won't know how to handle it.

  Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

   A lot of times, we think we can handle fear like anything else. Ignore it, but I have experienced fear. If you are not careful, fear will grip you, take over every part of you, and cause you to lose faith in God because that's what fear is supposed to do. The verse tells us not to worry about tomorrow, don't because each day has its troubles; when we allow one fear for one day to carry on to the next day, we add more stress to our life, but each day has its own troubles.

  Trouble never sleeps, but God's power is mighty in pulling down strongholds. God's power is mighty to block any fiery dart of the wicked one; God's power is everything we need to carry us through the day because when we trust God, we do not need to worry; how much do you trust God? yes, I have had experienced it where I was so engulfed in fear that I couldn't trust God because I thought if I give him this fear ,if I give him my hand I might lose control and us losing control is exactly what we must do to give God control over every situation he can’t help us as long as our hand is in it

We must let go so he can handle even our fear , don't let fear carry on until the next day. Handle fear head on and allow God to quench it with his power . We don’t have power over anything , but God do he’s all knowing , all powerful , Do you trust in God ?

 Hebrews 13:5-6 Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

     Yes, the word of God says here that I will never leave you nor forsake you; the lord will help us through tomorrow's troubles. Sometimes, we sit up at night, we worry, and we let fear take over, but when we read this verse here, it says, I will never leave you nor forsake you; he said I am a helper; do not fear what man can do, we can't fear what man can do ,we can't take what they say about us and to us and place it in our minds we must always take what they say and rebuke it because what happens is when we allow fear of men to take over we are saying I don't believe in God ,I don't believe in what he says in his word. He clearly states in his word that he is a helper, so don't you think God will help you through any and everything?

   "Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

   We don't have to worry about tomorrow because God got tomorrow. God has every moment of our lives, and he sees us God is never worried because he knows that we are going to be okay because whatever he brings before us or to us, we will make it because he says I won't leave you to face this world, I won't leave you to deal with this on your own ,I am here always waiting for you, I am here always directing you but we must let him direct our path every day!

 John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

  The word tells us again that he leaves his word to us, but we must understand everything we will face. He has faced it, and he leaves us in peace. Nothing is done by luck. Everything is done for a reason, but we must trust that through whatever season we are in, we are victorious because of him. We are victorious because of his grace and mercy. God is ready to see us through every problem, but we must be able to say that we know God is going to see us through this situation, my tomorrow, and our fears.

  *** Today, we learned about fear, and we learned how fear can overtake us if we allow it to. When we allow fear in, that spirit isn't going to place nicely; it doesn't help us through anything; it's going to try to make us miserable, make us doubt, make us take our eyes off Christ; that is what fear does. Fear brings other spirits with it to conquer every section of your life.

   Fear isn't something we should be okay with; some people say a little fear is healthy, but it's fear can grow in our mind if we give it power to the point where we are so disabled by it that we will start to lose power and authority because fear can block us from praying ,block our praise, but when we speak to our fear and speak the word over our lives and rebuke the power of fear because it has no power over our lives. When we allow God to come in and conquer our biggest fear, we are saying to God that I trust you; even if I feel insecure and vulnerable, I know you're still going to protect me in my weakest moments. God wants to give us strength at this moment, but we must allow ourselves to go to him; sometimes fear can make our mind go everywhere but to God, but we must ground ourselves in our word and prayer life and allow him to empower us to conquer our fears and tomorrow .©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for today and the strength you have given us; we ask you to quench all the fear in our lives. Lord, we ask you to give us the power to conquer our fears through you. Lord, your word says you don't give us a spirit of fear, so Father, I know the way we are feeling isn't from you; we ask you to remove this and send this back to the pits of hell; it can't stay with us, father we ask you to remove every insecurity and doubt that's in our minds, lord we surrender every and anything unto your power in Jesus Name Amen

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

    Every day, the world around us seems so shaky and unsure, and the more we think about it, we can't rely on this world to make us stable; a lot of us have a stable job, stable homes, stable everything, and some of us don't, but to be truly stable and covered we must hold on to God he is our rock and our salvation, has our fortress when we seem out of place. We don't have to worry about being shaken; he always keeps us in perfect peace, and many of us can't say that; many can say we depend on God to do everything for us but we jump to conclusions and do everything ourselves. Still, when we depend on God and fully say he's the head, we must let go of the reigns and hand them to him.

  The word of God tells us to depend on God just like when we turn on our lights, we just know they will turn on, and every time we start our car, we know it is going to start, and just like when we go to our refrigerator and know food is going to be there we must know we can trust in God through everything, it might not look like we can, and sometimes it might not feel like it. Still, we must know that he does if no one else has our back he does ; we must trust and believe he wants to be there through it all.

   Verse 5: Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him."

  David knew nothing else he could rest in but God; he knew nothing here on earth could give him that needed rest. David always had soldiers around him, and he had his friend Johnathan around him, but that still wasn't enough for David; you want to know why David didn't trust in man because David knew a man could fail at any time, but the word of the lord the presence of the lord won't ever fail him!

    Sometimes, we must look at what we have been through. Sometimes, we must look at what could've happened but didn't. Because of the provision of God, we don't have to worry; because of the grace of God, we don't have to worry because of God; we could and can stand on our two feet and walk out of something that could've killed us, that could've destroyed us, but because God he is the rock and because God is our shepherd he made provision so we could be okay. God will make sure we are more than okay friends, that we are stronger, and that we are great! Because we serve an awesome God !!

 Verse 8: Trust in him always, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

   A refuge means "shelter or protection from danger or distress. David was trying to tell us that God can be our protection from any type of danger; David was trying to tell us to pour out our heart; he gave us a critical key to building a relationship with God, which is to go to God and let your heart go and let it flow to God, because when we are honest. We have a contrite heart; God is near them that has a contrite heart.

  Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

 We can go before God and we are mad, and we can even go before God and we are upset, but when you go to God in his presence with a heart ready to be poured into, God will hear us when we speak because we are saying, God, I am crying out. After all, you protect me. I am crying out because I know you hear me, and when we have faith as a mustard seed and trust that when we do this, he hears us, God, he will touch us in his timing.

   Let me repeat this: he will bless you at his timing. His timing doesn't look like our timing; it might be a little different, but trust and believe when God touches us and blesses us, it will be at the perfect timing. But we must trust and believe that he's the shelter we need. Do you let him know you need him? Do you let him know he is everything to you? Some of us go to God every day with our prayer requests and wants and desires, but do we ever go to him and say, Father, I love you, or Father, I thank you?

   David knew who God was to him; do you know who God is to you? Do you realize how important having a relationship with God is? It's important every day we communicate with him and devote our time to him; we desire for him to be our protector, to be our strength, to be our shepherd, but do we know him as this because other people tell us our do we know this because we have experienced this for ourselves. We have to experience God for ourselves.

  *** Today, we learned how important it is to have God in our lives, how David needed God, and how he had friends and an army, but what he needed most of all was true protection from on high. Sometimes, life can make us feel so vulnerable, unprotected, and unsure, but we can depend on God for everything. He's a God we can know through any battle; he's ready to help us through it, but we must believe he can help us.

   Do you believe that he can be the shield you need through whatever you are facing? Do you believe he can be the comfort that you're looking for?? We don't have to be shaken by anything here on earth because we are covered in God's grace and mercy. We never have to be shaken when we fully rely on God, and sometimes that's hard to do because we face many battles at different stages of life, but what we must understand is that he's there even when we are shaken, he'll never leave us or forsake us just Believe. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM LIVING RIGHTEOUSLY 

I AM LEANING ON GOD 

I AM NOT ALONE 

I AM DOING IT IN HIS STRENGTH 
********************************
THOUGHTS:
=======================

   A lot in this world can cause us to stumble. Sometimes, seeing it as we are in it is hard for us. Sin can cause us to think there's nothing wrong with what we are doing, but it is; the word of God today says that if we are stumbling because of our hands, it's best we cut them off and walk around with just the one then to enter into hell with two.

   The bibles warns us if something is causing us to sin, get rid of it and that nothing on earth is worth going to hell for; a lot of times, we don't understand that what we do here on earth, be it good or bad will determine where we spend eternity, we have to start looking at our life daily to ask God what am I doing that keeping me from going to heaven.

  Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since such a great cloud of witnesses surrounds us, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

     The Bible tells us here that sin will cling to us. We might think oh, this sin is easy to drop, or This sin is easy to get rid of, but my friend's sin isn't that easy. Once we open the door to sin, it will stay as long as we permit it. We have to be able to ask for the strength of a God and say, God, "I need your strength to rebuke and deny this sin that has access to me, "because when we are committing ANY sin, we are giving the enemy legal grounds to send any spirit our way because we gave him the opening, a lot of us don't understand how critical sin can be in our lives and if we aren't careful it will be a sin we can’t release so quickly.

     So what do we do when sin won't leave us? We must fast. The Bible speaks of some sins needing fasting and prayer; once, there was a man who came to Jesus and said lord have mercy, my son is suffering, some translations say he was vexed,  meaning he was troubled or saddened, but this man was coming to Jesus because his son needed true healing. 

   He went to the disciples, and the disciples couldn't do it, and they couldn't heal him because some things only leave when someone fast and pray , sometimes it takes certain people, not that these people are unique, but these people fast and pray a lot more and because of this they can release a demon from over someone's life, anyone can do this, but some people place more time in with their relationship with God ,some people pray longer , read their word longer, and allow the Holy Spirit to use them, but anyone can do this because we have the authority by God to do this,

  Mark 17:19-20hen the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" 20 He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.

     But back to what we are trying to learn, the Holy Spirit wants us to know that when we have sinned in our lives, we need to release ourselves from it. Only we can do it. We have to speak the holy word and have the mindset that we want to be free. God can release us, and he can do it without us saying the words or wanting to, but God always wants us to do it because he has given us free will until we say we are done. We want to be free. He can do nothing; when I gave my life to Christ, I wanted freedom from anything that didn't look or feel like righteousness or holiness. Once the Holy Spirit showed me the bondage I was in, and until I said I had enough, I wasn't going to be free until then. 

   Romans 6:18 And, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

   We must become slaves to righteousness and want to please God with our lives; yes, we will sin, but we don't have to sin intentionally. But when we do not release the bondage over our life, we must fast and pray.  We are no longer slaves to our sins; we are no longer slaves to having to need a drink or having to have illicit moments to feel good, and we are slaves to righteousness. 

   ***Today, we learned that some sins would cling to us because we can't let go of the sin. The enemy has built a stronghold around us, and the only way to break free from this is by fasting and praying.  We all want to be better, and we all want to be free from the sins we are bound to, but we have to understand that we must fast and pray. When we do this, we are making a sacrifice, and this sacrifice will help strengthen our spirit, man. 

   Mercy and grace are from the lord and him alone. We can't think being good will win us more because that's not the case, but mercy and grace are there to help see us through when we mess up; it's there to help us if it is a sin that we are struggling with go to God in prayer say, father, I need your help because both of my hands are causing me to defile myself, father help me because my mouth is leading me to say things I shouldn't and until we submit the unrighteousness and CUT IT ALL AWAY we will never be set free to live a life of righteousness through Christ. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
========================
PRAYER
========================
Heavenly Father, thank you for everything; we lay it all at your feet and ask you now to help us be free from our sins. Father, we ask you right now to give unto us strength and freedom to say no and to live in righteousness, lord we are ashamed of our sins, but we know you have sent your son to wash us in the blood and help us to live in his strength and not in our own. Lord, we want to go to heaven and can only do this when we give up on what we are doing. Help us live a life in you! In Jesus' Name Amen

I AM REMOVING THE BARRIER

I AM SEEKING GOD

I AM CONFESSING EVERYTHING

I AM SAVED

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

    Our sins can cause us many problems, not counting the doors our sins can open to allow spirits, but also losing connection with God. A lot of times, when we sin, we don't confess it because we feel God knows, and yes, he does, but to be free and to let go of it, we must confess now. We won't remember everything. This is true. Some of us are tired, and we forget, but God doesn't. All we must do is say, Father, show me what I forgot to confess or the sins I buried away. We must let go of this idea that what we do doesn't matter because of grace.

 Many people say, well, I got grace, but if we aren't willing to admit our sins, we will always be in denial. Many must let go of these sins because when we think sin is OK, we damage our relationship with Christ.

  1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

   This verse is critical to what we must do daily to ensure we aren't disconnected from the true vine. We must confess our sins, and he will forgive and cleanse us of all our unrighteousness. Still, we must do our part, and this is hard for some people because they feel they did nothing wrong and are just living their best life. Still, friends, let me tell you we must get this thought out of our head that we are just living; we aren't just living, we are living in the flesh; when we allow our sins to create a barrier between us and God, we become weak.

  A barrier keeps things out; it creates almost like a shield between two things or more, and nothing can get through when it is placed in a particular area. And this is what we place between God and us. We are placing our sins before him. We are placing everything in this world before him because we want a good time or peace from something other than him; seeing a barrier doesn't just stop one side. It is placed there for two people, and no one can come across, and once we sin, we are placing that barrier. Between us and Christ, and we must be the ones to take it down.

  Proverbs 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

  When we conceal our sins or ignore them, we won't prosper. We won't gain anything because we ignore something that creates a barrier between God and us, but the word tells us here to confess and forsake them. Forget about them, and we will obtain mercy, but some of us get so prideful that we don't want to forsake it. We want to continue in our sin; how does the enemy cause us to lose out on blessings and opportunities because we decided to stay in that prideful way and not ask forgiveness? We must start building our relationship with Christ more, and if we don't value it, we will never be sorry for what we do or say until we truly see how damaging sin is to our lives.

 Verse 14: For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

 When we allow sin in, we are allowing it to be our master; once we see we are sinning, we must let it go, or once we know we have offended the Holy Spirit, we must let it go, many times we are OK with what we are doing because we are so attached to our sin that we can't see life without it, but as we sin we lose the presence of the Holy Spirit being ACTIVE  in our life, he doesn't leave him just not active because he's been stalled multiple times to the point he leaves us to enjoy our flesh. The Holy Spirit is saying today, whatever sin is your master, whatever sins you haven't confessed, leave it at the altar. Confess now while it's still light!

 **Today, we learned what sin does to our relationship: it halts it, blocks the flow of our relationship, and the anointing upon our life. The Bible states that we make sin a master when we submit to our sins; who is your master? What are you allowing to master you? Every day, we have an opportunity to give ourselves to God. Every day, we have an opportunity to confess, but when we stubbornly refuse to and think what we do isn't a sin, we are causing a divide between us and God.

  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

  God wants to connect with us and show us our sins. We have ears to hear and eyes to see, and God made them both, but if we don't use them to hear him and see what he's trying to show us, we are ignoring him; it's easy to ignore someone's text, and calls it's easy to avoid the person you can't stand talking to it's easy not to do the chores you see you need to do, none these things have any consequences but to ignore the functions of the Holy Spirit and his voice this has serious consequences today don't ignore the voice of God because what we think we can get away with today when judgment day come we have to answer for every deed done in and out of the body. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for everything; we ask you today to help us confess all our sins. Help us confess them and release what we are doing unto you. Lord, we love you so much and are so grateful for what you're doing in our lives; we desire to be closer to you and learn from the error of our ways. Father, we don't want to ignore your voice; please continue to show us what we have done wrong, and we will change what we are doing, lord; we rebuke the spirit of rebellion; in Jesus' name, we want to dedicate more of ourselves to you in Jesus Name Amen

Looking To Jesus

MEMORY VERSE OF THE WEEK

=========================

+ Psalm 66:19 But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer."

=========================

VERSE OF THE DAY 

========================

+ Hebrews 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder, and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

=========================

SUBJECT:Looking To Jesus

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM LOOKING TO JESUS

I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

I AM BLESSED

I AM LOVED BY GOD

 ********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

  The part of this verse we will focus on is looking to Jesus when we have problems; we must look to Jesus when we are depressed. We must look to Jesus when we are full of anxiety; we must look to Jesus, but what do we do when it's hard to look to Jesus ,do we take matters into our own hands, when we are tired of following Jesus, we all have been on this cross roads none of us can lie say we havent thought about it, but what do we do when we get this way, what do we do when it feels we have to look and look to Jesus and nothing has changed. 

   We keep pushing forward, and I must admit that sometimes that gets hard to do because everyone tells us to follow our hearts or intuition. Still, we, as believers, must follow the unctioning of the Holy Spirit. People don't follow his voice anymore nor his unctioning because they feel, well, let me do what I want, let me see how this works out, and can I be honest with you, that doesn't work out because, at the end of it, we would wish to hear his voice and follow him, that's why the verse says look to Jesus.

   There are a few more verses that tell us the same thing 

  Proverbs 4:25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.

Colossians 3:1 If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

  These verses all say the same thing: look directly and seek the things above. We must stay focused on Christ, not on our plans and desires but on the plans of God. We are going to have people tell us what we should do and what we shouldn't do. We will have the enemy tempt us because God doesn't tempt us. He tests but never tempts, but we will have these moments when the enemy asks why you are so focused on Him when he doesn't care. And what we have to say to the enemy: I'm afraid you might be mistaken. My Bible 1 Peter 5:7 says I can cast all my cares on him because he cares for me.

   Friends, we must study our word because when the enemy comes, and he won't go away. He's not going to go away because we had a bad day. No, he will only go away when we use the name of Christ and when we speak the word. He only goes away for a season, so when we fix our eyes on Christ, nothing won't bother us, and it can try, and trust me, it will try. Still, if we always bring our attention back to Christ, we won't have to worry about the storms that come by night and the arrows that come by day; all we have to do is plant our trust in Christ.

   Psalm 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

   The word tells us the eyes of the lord are on the righteous. When we place our trust in God, when we fix our eyes on him, we are saying Father, I know my life is a mess because I stepped out and tried to do whatever I wanted, but I am telling you, God, that my eyes aren't leaving you anymore I'm asking you to hear my cry! I'm asking you to see about me because I messed up and watched him fix it. Now, it won't be at your time, no, my friends, but it will be at his time, and his time is perfect.

   Isaiah 45:22: "Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

  Turn to him now; don't wait until you are in absolute need because without him, we still absolutely need him; it might not feel that way; you might be having the best time of your life,but nothing in this life is worth not having his presence there. His word is saying to us today: TURN TO ME. Don't think you can make it to heaven; without him, you can't. God wants your heart; he wants your time to teach you how to improve, and we give him our time in prayer and reading our word. 

  *** Today, the Holy Spirit asks us to look at Jesus and towards Christ because the end is near. When we don't give God our everything, we look to other things and other ways; we will never be satisfied; you know how when you have a good meal, steak, potatoes, and some veggies and when you eat a hearty meal like this you full you don't want anything else you have no room for nothing else. This is Jesus who wants to fill us up! This is how Jesus wants to fill us so much that we do not need joint or illicit sex and drinking. 

   He wants you to be so focused on him; he wants us to realize we need him! When Jonah told Nineveh they were heading for judgment immediately, they stopped, fasted, and sought God; we must be the same way, seeking him while you yet can and having a contrite heart. Being sorrowful about our wrongdoing, we can say all day, lord forgive me, lord forgive me, but are you sorry? Are your words dull and not filled with meaning today? Ask Jesus to help you seek him. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for everything; please forgive us for the sins we have done. Help us to be better and help us focus on you and not on our worries. Lord, every day, we deal with the cares of life. And it gets so heavy, lord, we ask you to carry all our problems and frustrations; we place this at your feet. Lord, continue giving us wisdom and knowledge so we may know you. We would like to understand and be able to apply this word to our life . Cleanse us of our sins, help us study your word, and help us grow for you. In Jesus' Name Amen

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I WANT TO DO MORE THEN SURVIVE

I AM THRIVING IN GOD

I AM BEAUTIFUL

I AM FILLED WITH JOY

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

Many people say they do this to survive, or they do that to survive, but how do we survive without Christ? I can remember very dark days living without Christ, thinking I had things figured out and not realizing I had nothing figured out; when we are just living, and we are living without Christ, that's what we are doing; we are living without him, we are just surviving without him, and that can be hard to do when we aren't supposed to live like that every day our body and mind is connected with him. Honestly, it don’t feel like that; it might feel like we need a drink, a joint, or this elicit relationship.

  It might feel that way, but we need true comfort from our maker; getting comfort from him and through him is the best feeling in the world. Friends, I have had comfort from this world, and it feels amazing at first; I would be lying if I don’t say that it feels fantastic, but when that amazing feeling leaves and everything settles and late at night, when we just our thoughts we realize that all that was monetary it doesn't last, and what we have been surviving on isn't real it's fake.

 Now, the enemy will have us thinking our actions arent us living out the best life. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, all these platforms will make you think you're living the best life, and you're not; what you see is an act of what they want you to see, and the Lord says in his word that everything in this world will fade.

  1 John 2:17 And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.

 It says here that the world and all its lust will pass away. Many don’t understand that what's here on earth isn't forever. What you're using to survive isn't going to last. Still, when we use the Lord, when we gather ourselves up and focus on him, let go of everything, and allow his love to help us through, we will survive and thrive because right now, we might think, "I'm thriving," but we aren't.

  We thrive when we hold on to God; we thrive when we let go of bitterness; we thrive when we let go of hurt; we thrive when we let go of the person we see in the mirror and hold on to our true identity, Christ. Some of you are hurting right now only because you are holding on to a person you created, this fake person with all these beliefs, this person you created that you think is your true identity. We must let go of who we created to survive and hold on to the identity we have in Christ, and that's something way different. Can you do that? Can you let go and hold on to him ????

 John 10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

   The thing is, some of us have had things snatched right out of our hands. Some of us have had things pulled away because we could not hold on to them, but the thing is, when we are God's children, no one can whisper in his ear and say hey, look at Lui or Hey, look at Bob no he looks at us, and we are his, we can't be pulled away, nor can we be shunned ,we are his.

  We don’t have to survive anymore; we can thrive with him and in him because when we are a child of God, we don’t have to worry about anyone changing his opinion of us; he sees us all the same, and he loves us, no matter what the world says we ARE HIS, I'm not going to lie and say everything is going to be rainbows and butterflies, but I can tell you this much when we walk with the shepherd he will protect us from the wicked one he will protect us from the pain and show us the way it's up to us to see it.

 *** Today, the Holy Spirit wants us to know we can thrive when we walk in his light, we can thrive when we listen to his commands, we thrive when we hold on to his hand, we can thrive through situations and not just survive, a lot of time that what just want to do is survive, we just want to make it another day. Still, with God, we can live our day and feel like we aren't doing it alone.

 We are never alone, and we are never by ourselves; the Lord tells us in his word I will never leave you or forsake you, and sometimes in life, it feels like he's not there and that we are surviving by ourselves. We are doing all the heavy lifting ourselves, but God is right there for us if we allow him in. I don’t want to be hurt, and I don’t want to live on this earth without the Holy Spirit; every day, I try to live a life that I never not feel his presence. His presence is near if you seek him.   ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for helping us thrive in you; we need you so much. Lord, help us to hold on to you,  and not this world; Lord, protect us from all danger and harm; please, Lord, send your peace and love to our lives; we need more wisdom and knowledge so that we can understand your word and apply it to our life. Lord, we can't survive in this world without you, each and every day, we desire to change and be molded, Lord help us to trust in you, in your power, in your strength; in Jesus Name Amen

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM RELEASING THE PILE 

I AM RELEASING THE HURT 

I AM USING JESUS AS MY SHIELD 

I AM COMPLETE 

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

     It's not easy to forgive; trust me, I know I held on to grudges after misshapes because I wanted to protect myself from anything and everyone, and one weekend, I managed to stay in the house all weekend. As I was there, God had a significant talk with me. He said you are still holding on to things that have happened since childhood. You're holding it over other people's heads. 

   He said you must let go; if I can be honest, it was a long day. I cried, I apologized and asked forgiveness, and I forgave people who asked forgiveness because I wasn't ready to let go, I wasn't ready, but the thing is, for every mistake someone made, I placed it into a pile; I just couldn't let go, but when the day was over, I did more prayer, and I LET GO, and letting go and not letting everything pile up is the hardest thing. Still, let me know if you want to be forgiven and live in peace, you must let go. 

   Proverbs 21:21 Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor

   I say all that to say this: if you are holding on to something painful for you not to hold on to it , you must let go of things that have happened to you and let God have them ; holding on to this stuff made me bitter and angry and you'll turn into a person that isn't, you, the real you. 

    We will find life when we let go of bitterness. Bitterness and unforgiving will have you stuck in your head, and God wants us free. God wants us to walk in our authority. How can we walk in full authority if we are stuck and comfortable with particle authority? Bitterness and unforgiveness will have you thinking you are right and we are wrong when we hold on to this when we allow satan to whisper in our ear. We are giving him a foothold in our life. 

 Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."

   Some people desire to be forgiven of the sins they have done, but some of us keep the memory of everything logged in, and we don't release it ,at all, and we get trapped the same way or being in a loop of not letting go, but we have to teach ourselves and to others how to let go .

   I felt lighter after I forgave and moved on because I knew I had been holding on to enough. The demons we fight are in our heads and hearts but when we let go, when we release them we will be free. The man with the legion of demons came running to Jesus. Do you see what it says? He ran to Jesus, and then he asked Jesus what he wanted from him. 

   Mark 5:6-7 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, don't torture me!".

   He knew immediately that Jesus was going to do something, and we don't like change; our flesh doesn't like it, especially spiritual change like this, but we know it's something we must do. God is trying to help us to forgive. But he won't make us. We must realize we need it and do what this man did: ask for help. As we do this, we become lighter and lighter. Forgiveness is something we must do so that we can be free ,so that we can move past what we are hung up on. 

  Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

   It says it here: we must forgive because we won't be forgiven; at times, we feel this heaviness because we are unwilling to be merciful to people; we want mercy; we want grace, but do we give this, the Lord is waiting for us to use him as a shield and not our the emotions we have build around our heart and mind . Do you allow your built up emotions to be the fortress for you? We have to stop building the walls around our lives, thinking this will keep pain away and this will keep hurt away but it won't; in life, we will have pain, and we will the hurt; it's nothing we can do about it, but all we can do is forgive and allow God to protect us and be our shield. 

   ***Today, if you can't forgive or move past hurts and offenses, ask God to show you how, but when he does, it's strictly up to us to let go and start forgiving. Sometimes, this doesn't happen on a weekend; it takes days for us to see what we need to do, and if I can be transparent, he might've been showing me all alone what I needed to give up, but because the enemy had me blind and bound I let him. 

  Why? Because sin feels pleasing to the flesh, sin feels good because it's what we want and gratifies us, but when we stop thinking about what makes us feel good. We start thinking and looking at everything in a spiritual sense and how this is hindering our growth, and we will see what we are doing is stopping ourselves from achieving; no, I'm not saying money is waiting on the other side of forgiveness but our emotions and mind being lighter is what's waiting for us.   ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, please forgive us for not forgiving; Lord, help us to learn from this lesson and apply it to our lives. Lord, help us to be understanding and patient to those who do us wrong. Lord, we want to feel lighter and less weighted down, and we know that when we surrender our emotions to you, we can. Lord, give us strength and understanding through this process. Lord, help us to let go of any bitterness and malice. Lord, it hurts to let go because this is our shield, but we no longer can use it as we must use you as a shield against this world, and we surrender to you now in Jesus' Name, Amen

Who Is Hindering You?

=========================

VERSE OF THE DAY

========================

+ Galatians 1:6:" I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and is turning to a different gospel—"

=========================

SUBJECT: Who Is Hindering You?

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM  NOT ALLOWING ANYTHING TO HINDER ME

I AM STRONG

I AM WALKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

I AM FOLLOWING JESUS

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

  What does the word gospel mean? It is a set of principles or ideas that someone believes in. The Galatians started to believe in something different than what they were taught and what they knew. They started to trust in something different does this sound familiar? We are doing just like the Galatians did. We have took on false ideas and allowed it to bewitch us , to amaze us and we get so lost into the comfort of it all BUT! BUT !

   This nation was built on and with God, but this nation, along with every nation around, began to forget who God is; a lot of people heard the name of God, and they began to try to strip him of who he is they start saying Jesus is a SHE ,they began to say it's more than one God, they do everything they can to strip him, strip him of his power ! but the thing is they can never strip God of who is!

    We can believe in everything and anything we want; we have that free will, but when we believe in all these other religions or our own beliefs, and it's not in the word, it's false, a lot of these men made rules, we like to believe will get us into heaven, we can say all we want that this is true. We can believe in whatever this world wants us to, but it's not true if God didn't say it and if it’s not in the word it is not TRUTH!

  2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their lusts.

 Day by day, people are deserting the truth of God for these fake religions and beliefs. I was at Disney World this year, and as I walked past all these people, the Holy Spirit said to me he said all these souls here, and if they aren't right with me, they are going to hell. The word of God is as real as you and I.   The word of God says that this world wants doctrine that pleases their itchy ears, and they want teachers who understand their lustful ways.

    Galatians 5:7-8 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you."

  Who is hindering you? Is it your friend's family? Spouse, your co-workers who? Whatever and whoever is hindering you, get away from them right now. Don't allow them to continue to block you from the word of God, don't allow them to stop you from praising God, don't allow them to steal your joy!

   Once we allow the enemy to hinder us, he'll do it every time because we have his permission to have the right to see. The enemy doesn't have the legal right to do this to us, but when we permit him when we commit sins, then we give him the ground to invade us because we are open to everything !!

  Isaiah 29:13 And the Lord said: "Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men

   When we let things or people hinder us, we become a place of compromise. We have been there. We say oh, it's okay; I didn't get to pray, or It's okay, I didn't get to read my word. We compromise, and then we draw near him with our lips when we have the time, but our hearts are so far away from God because we allowed everything else to help turn us from God!

  Hinderance plays a significant role in our life with Christ. It plays a big role in what we allow ourselves to do; hindrance is a controlled thing; we start to get to the place where we let people tell us their ideas and their ways and their thoughts, and we say yes that sounds good, but everything sounds good until we start diving into it, things start to look good when we continue to let go of the true gospel but feeling good and what's right are two different things? So the question asked again, what is hindering you? The peace and word of God don't just feel good and goes away. No, the word of God is good all the time. The word of God gives us peace in a storm and is an anchor in our toughest battles, but we must apply all we know from the word of God to our lives.

  ***Today, we learned that when we become compromised, we let and allow everything to come into our lives. When compromised, we settle for whatever the world tells us is okay. This world and the doctrine they try to teach us are only there to please our flesh and to please our life; now, this world isn't trying to prepare us for heaven; all of it is temporary friends the word that the Holy Spirit is trying to give us today is don't fall for false doctrine! Don't fall for the temporary ,choose truth! Choose life! Choose freedom!

   We can try to say what we hear on Earth is true, but it's not. Allow your life to be filled with the presence of God. Allow God to help you through whatever it is because when we compromise with what the world is trying to teach us, we won't ever grow in him ,to become a disciple of Christ; we must deny our flesh and pick up our cross, are you picking up your cross DAILY? Or are you doing this when the Bible suits you? The Bible is created to "teach, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."

©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, we thank you for this word; we ask you to help us accept its rebuking, correcting, and training to help us walk in righteousness. Lord, we desire to walk in you, not against you. Father, please show us how to walk in this world; we often don't want to because it changes who we are or who we think we are, but we want to change into the person you want us to be. Lord, we thank you daily grace and mercy; we don't want to hear false doctrine. We want your strength; please help us , let us give you everything all our frustrations , all or woes , hurts and fears in Jesus' Name, Amen

AWAKE & SOBER

MEMORY VERSE OF THE WEEK
=========================

+ Matthew 26:28  This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
=========================
VERSE OF THE DAY 
========================
+ 1 Thessalonians 5:6 So then let us not sleep, as others do but let us keep awake and be sober. "
=========================
SUBJECT: AWAKE & SOBER 
=========================
** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM AWAKE

I AM LISTENING FOR HIS VOICE

I AM OBEYING HIM

I AM  CHILD OF GOD 
********************************
THOUGHTS:
=======================
  The world doesn't mind being asleep; it sleeps spiritually and physically because it doesn't want to be awake. As long as the world can sleep through the process and they can sleep through their troubles and problems, they will sleep, and the problem is they think there's nothing wrong with sleeping physically, but sleeping through life and being lazy. 
   The Bible talks about it; it tells us in Proverbs 13:4 that The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied." It tells us here that when our soul is sluggard, we get nothing done , but when we are diligent, we get what we want; we will achieve it! 
   Today's verse tells us, "Let us keep awake and be sober. "when we are awake in God, we are sober. We aren't allowing the things of the world to confuse us; we aren't letting smoking, drinking, and edibles control our thoughts. We allow God to conduct our ways and thoughts because the Bible says, "flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit."
  We must always allow our flesh to be silent while we allow the spirit of God to help conduct us. We have to let our spirit be louder then our flesh at all times! We can stay awake many times, but we don't allow the word of God to work in us, and through us, we don't allow the word of God to show us the way because we are too busy allowing the world to help us sleep. We are allowing the things of the world to introduce us to ways we don't need. 
   "1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
  The Bible, again, is always going to tell us to be sober; it's always going to tell us to sustain ourselves from things that will cause us to be drunk. Now, someone will say I don't drink, I don't do this or that but when you DONT ALLOW GOD TO CONDUCT YOU, then you are going to be the opposite of sober-minded. We can't, as Christians, walk this way and expect to hear from God because these things can stop us from hearing from the Lord. 
  Matthew 24:42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know what day your Lord is coming.
   Again, stay awake; we don't know when the Lord is coming back; he's coming back for a church with no spot or wrinkle. When he comes back, we must know this: our good charm and nor looks will get us out of the judgment of God, my friends;  no, it won't, friends. God is sending the old, the young, and the beautiful to hell. It doesn't matter what you got; it doesn't matter what's in your account. It matters if you are sober-minded. It matters if you're awake !! 
   God isn't looking for people who can put on a great act. He's looking for the one who can stick to his word and hold his hand. Many of us let go of his hand when it gets rough; many stop believing when he doesn't do what we want, but God is waiting for us to get it right. 
   After a specific time, after being awake, we get sleepy, we get tired, and likewise, to our spiritual walk,  we get so tired, and we want to go to sleep; that is how it is with some of our spiritual life we get tired, we get so sleepy because we aren't filling up on Christ we aren't reading our word. We aren't praying as we should; we are just living, and God wants us to do more than just live. He wants us to walk in him.
   ***Today, if you feel that you are sleeping, ask God to wake you up by allowing you to understand his word and helping you remove people out of your life that doesn't need to be there; they say some things make us sleepy at night like eating lots of junk food, etc., but some of us are filling up on the wrong things. We aren't allowing ourselves to be filled with him. We aren't allowing him to remove things from our lives that are causing us to be asleep; we keep compromising with everything, and we keep being okay with a mediocre lifestyle with Christ. But

some of us are filling up on the wrong things. We aren't allowing ourselves to be filled with him. We aren't allowing him to remove things from our lives that are causing us to be asleep; we keep compromising with everything, and we keep being okay with a mediocre lifestyle with Christ. But to reach new realms of the spirit, we must stop grieving the Holy Spirit with our actions and start pleasing him with our lives.   ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
========================
PRAYER
========================
Heavenly Father, thank you for everything; forgive us for the sins we have done. Lord, we ask you today to help us stay awake. Help us not to gratify the flesh and to walk in you. Lord, we surrender anything keeping us from pleasing you; we give you our eyes and ears right now. Lord, we rebuke the enemy's plans over our lives and claim victory where we are in you. Lord, continue to help us walk in you each day. Lord, we desire to live a life of righteousness; we want to go to heaven; please help us to be more like you; in Jesus Name Amen

VERSE OF THE DAY

=========================

SUBJECT: He Brought The Sword 

=========================

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM FAITHFUL 

I AM FREE 

I AM A SERVANT OF CHRIST 

I AM ACCEPTING, NOT REJECTING 

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

      When someone pulls a knife out, it to cut food like a steak, fish food etc, or anything else. If a knife is sharp enough, it can go through one time, and if a sword is sharp enough, it can cut through anything; when Jesus said he was bringing the sword and peace, he's bringing the sword to divide the individuals, and that's what happens typically when certain people start to believe you have a big divide in the family, a divide in relationships it doesn't matter it will divide so many people because some people will believe and some won't it just depends on who they are and the peace of God will follow in your life or my life when this happens, you'll have friends and family that won't want to talk to you anymore because you found Jesus or whether you allowed Jesus in. 

   However you want to say it, Jesus is found, and when he is found, whoever doesn't want to stand on him and drink from the living water, neither you nor I can make them, neither you nor I can force anyone all we can do is pray for them.  Many people like to pressure and judge people , but we can't judge people into loving Jesus; it won't be honest; we as believers can only live a life of holiness and pray for them to see and come into the light.

  Jesus came to this world to do many things, but the main things were: 1. Die for our sins and 2. Come back for the sick 3: To end the old covenant and allow a new covenant to come forth, allowing us not to need the law but to have faith in him alone to save us.

   Now, this isn't to say we don't need the commandments. We will forever need them to guide us along, but we won't need to depend on ourselves for righteousness. We must depend on Jesus alone for that. 

   Luke 12:51-52 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on, there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two, and two against three.

   Here it is again. He says no, I didn't come to bring peace, but to have division. He knew what we would face believing in him. There would be no peace on the earth because when we believe in something that goes against what the norm is, excessive 

drinking, smoking, and fornication; when we do something different, it will cause problems. 

    After all, we aren't living the way the world wants us to. The world will add pressure to make us think we aren't living our life , and that's what is supposed to happen. They will call us names, and they will bully us, but this is only monetary discomfort because the comfort of what God can and will give us lasts a lifetime. 

  Verse 28: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

   This is precisely what the Holy Spirit is telling us now: don't be afraid of the one who can kill us, which is the people on earth. Be afraid of the one who is he that can destroy both soul and body in hell; following these people and things here on earth won't do us any good; it won't help us because when we die, we are going to have to go to heaven or hell and if we aren't careful and if we don't live a life of fruitfulness we will end up in hell, once we are there, there no place to go its compels darkness. It's nothing that can help us.

   Acts 13:48-49 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 

   The Gentiles were last to hear the word; the word was given to the Jews, and they rejected it, says it in verse 46. Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles."

  See, this is an example: the Lord isn't going to make anyone stay or understand if they don't want him; he will move on; it's up to us to receive and accept it, so they took the word straight to the Gentiles, and the Gentiles accepted it ,we cannot make someone get it or accept him ,we were once unbelievers doing the same thing denying the power of, but when they are ready. Hopefully, it's not too late; they will see, but it's up to them to do it. Don't get mad; someone isn't accepting your words about Christ; move on, shake the dust off, and go on! 

  ***Today, we learn that Jesus said I came to bring a division, and he said I have come here to divide. We aren't called to judge, to do the dividing, to hurt anyone, to pressure anyone; we are called to believe first and then do as the Lord wills in our life; we have to get to the place we aren't going to people and judging them because this runs people away all we can do is show them how good God is for us tell them the truth and pray for them. 

   The Jews rejected the truth, and Paul and Barnabas told them because you do this, we are going to the Gentiles they went and taught them. The word spreaded through the whole region don’t allow people that don't want to receive the gospel to steal your joy; you didn't fail, the word most certainly didn't fault, BUT you must pray for their eyes to be open and the scales to fall off and for the blockers on their ears to be spiritual removed , so they may hear and see the good news. Today, allow the Holy Spirit to speak for you. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, we thank you for grace and mercy for the word of God. Lord, we need you to help us teach your word and pray. Lord, guide our life and help us stay in you. Don't allow our zeal to come off as aggressive to others; instead, help people see you in us and know we are standing on you. Lord, let us be a beacon to our family and help us continue to walk in your light and nothing else. Lord, we desire to love you and tell the world about your goodness. Every day, we can live for you and walk in your light, Lord. We thank you so much for allowing us to do this, in Jesus’ Name, Amen

I AM BELIEVING IN JESUS 

I AM PURE 

I AM HOLY 

I AM LISTENING TO HIM 

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

    People are going to tell you what you can't do and what you shouldn't do, but the one thing they can't do is tell you what God has planned for your life. God can plan so much for our lives, but we can't allow the enemy to come in and stop us from doing what is willed for our lives, so how do we allow him to do this by weakening us, by allowing him to fill our heads with lies? The problem is we don’t deny his lie but we too; we have to ignore his lies, and truth be told, that's even going to come from the people we love; they can be used by the enemy, too. 

   2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

     This verse here is critical to what we need to do. We must destroy whatever argument or opinion comes our way, and some of us are so tired, we are so tired of fighting, we are so tired of fussing, that we say I don't have it in me, but God wants you to know you can do all things through Christ who strength is in you. 

    When we say we need to read the word of God and when we need to study the word of God, those are two different things. I can read and comprehend it, but when I study the word of God, I eat it! That means I'm allowing the Holy Spirit to show me what's in this word to help me through and what verse can apply to my situation. Many of us don't allow the word of God to apply to us; we don't allow it to help us because we feel there's no way the word can help us, but it can get us through the most challenging times. That's why when we study the word of God, we must slow down and hear him speak to us. 

   Jeremiah 23:29 "Is not My word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that smashes a rock?"

    We have to identify when it's a lie and stand on it, not feed into it. We all know how we do this when we debate whether what is said is true when we know it's a lie, or when we try to convince ourselves that maybe some of it is, or when we allow the lies to change our whole mood and attitude, people of God we can't allow the lies to affect our day or our mood because once we feed into it and once we give the lie life that's when we permit it. 

   We have to allow the word of God to smash the rocks in our lives and demanding situations. The word of God can protect us mentally and emotionally. Still, we have to read it. We can't limit the word of God, but we can when we don't read it every day we don't allow it to soak into our spirit; the word of God says to let it be a light into our path, and some days our path can be dark, but the word of God can shed light to anything that's in our life and shatter whatever lies that's in our life. 

   Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

    God can give us peace in our thinking; we can go on and on, on the negative thoughts, but when we allow God peace to stay within us, we can surpass everything; we can understand everything because then we are only hearing God that's the only voice we need to hear not the voice of others not the voice of the wrong influencers but the voice of God. 

  God's word can bring the light to our feet and a light to our path, but we have to use the light; the word was placed in each of our lives to direct us, but if we never open it, how will we learn and the biggest thing the enemy can do is make us so busy where we feel we have no room to fit the word in, how will we know our adversary if we don't read and understand how cunning he is.

    The Holy Spirit has shown me a spirit in the land that is moving across this nation and world. It's the spirit of doubt because when we don't read our word, we won't believe in it; that means we give the enemy room to plant seeds of doubt, which means we are allowing the enemy to introduce new theories and those theories are wrong they go against everything that's in the word of God. We fight back against everything in this world when we take the time to allow God to pour into our understanding.  

  Matthew 9:16-17 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out, and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

   See, He won't pour into something old because it can't hold what he's trying to pour into it, but if we are new in him. We hear him when he speaks, and we are a clean vessel; we can hold the new and fresh anointing, the new aspect, the new way of thinking if you're not sure if you're ready if not sure if you are new in Christ; speak with him today. He will help you with the knowledge and understanding he wants to pour into you. 

   ***Today, we learned that only God can determine our future, and only he can help us through our day. We can do anything through him. Sometimes, it's hard to believe that all we have to do is believe, but his word says we just need a mustard seed faith, and he'll do the rest. Christ is ready to pour into fresh anointing and knowledge, but we must be ready to receive it. Are you a pure vessel? Do you believe that God knows your future and he can handle anything in your life? Do you believe you can do all things through Christ, not through our strength, not with how much money we have, not through anything else but through him? Don't allow life to tell you what you can't do, and don't allow life and situations to stop and hold up your blessing; allow God to show you the way because he's the way to truth and life. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM NOT GOING TO OBEY MY FLESH

I AM PICKING THE RIGHT PATH

I AM REPENTING TO GOD

I AM RELEASING THE ROOT OF MY ISSUES

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

  A lot of people don't think about life and what it succumbs to; a lot of people think what they do in life won't have any reputation, and it does; what we do here on earth will determine where we go if we do things that please the flesh we will go to hell plain and straightforward, a lot of people won't like this kind of devotional, they want it to be sugar-coated. Still, friends, I'm here to tell you the lord has placed on my heart so heavy that if we don't get our souls right, we will go to hell; no amount of money or fame will get us out of going to hell.

  This might make a few of you uncomfortable, and this might make you not want to read this devotional, but what we do here on earth plays the most significant part in where we will go, so how do we avoid, how do we avoid hell, the lord has shown me something; he showed me suffering will happen, he showed me bitterness will come but we must do away with it , and unforgiveness will take us to hell, too.

 How to avoid hell this is one of the things we must do is release all the hurt, all the hate, and all the anger we have in our hearts. It would help if we released it. Yes, we cannot go to heaven and be full of these things. The Bible speaks on this Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

  If you look at this list, this is telling us we won't inherit heaven, we won't even go near the pearly gates of heaven if we have any of this in our heart or if we are participating in things of this nature, friends we must get it right, nothing on this earth is worth us risking meeting our maker and going to heaven nothing is, we must change and allow God to do it, I know it's hard to forgive I know it's hard to forget because the pain is very much real, but when we hold on to the things like this we don't make it to heaven, ask God today to help you surrender the ways of your heart.

 Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death

   It tells us here we will suffer the second death if we are cowards and do detestable things. If we lie some of us think it's okay to tell lies, but the Bible tells us the tongue no one can tame and is full of fire and that it can set fire to our whole life if we let it; God wants us to know we must change our ways, some people dont understand that these things weigh on us spiritually, they can make us so heavy in the spirit because we are allowing spirits to attach its self to us when we dont fully put on the armor of God we will start lacking in something because we are weak we discussed this before. Still, when we lack and are weak in our spirit, man, we won't be able to defend the works of the enemy and the temptation of the flesh.

   Luke 13:3 No, I tell you; unless you repent, you will likewise perish.

   We need to repent. If we dont, we will perish, and the second death to hell isn't the greatest journey. People reading this right now that is saying they are of good standard and they think they are living the right way, but if you dont change your ways and allow God to show you what you are missing, you will enter into hell, my friends.

  This devotional isn't about blessings; it isn't about favor, no, not all; this devotional is about all the things we like to do of the flesh, this devotional about letting go of things of the heart. This devotional is real; it is about hell, and if we don't get it right if I don't get it right, we all will go to hell. We have the opportunity to get it right, and we are losing light each day and don't take our salvation seriously.

  ***Today, we must understand the end is near, and we don't want to be the person that God says I never knew you; we want him to know us as his sheep. Every person dies, and they are either going to heaven or hell; it's no second chances. Everything we do here will reflect where we go; if we don't build a connection and stay on the straight and narrow, we will go to a very hot place, the darkness beyond darkness; you can't see anything, and it will be tortured day and night forever and ever and weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 This isn't a place that we need to go to; no one will save us from this place; the only way we can avoid this place is to be fully committed to God and to remove the things we are afraid to let go because the longer we hold on to the things of the heart we will always have a problem because these types of emotions take root into anyone. Don't let what's here affect your mindset, and don't let what's here affect where you will spend eternity; we all think we have time, and we don't; we are nothing but a mist here today, gone tomorrow. We can choose this today and say I will serve God then this world.   ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, thank you for today and another opportunity to get it right; lord, help us obey you and live a holy and righteous life. We love you so much, father God, and thank you for your mercy and grace. Lord, help us to be more like you and to change our ways; lord, change our minds and give us a renewed mind in you; we want to surrender the matters of our heart to you; we don't want to go to hell, we want to live eternity with you. Lord, on this road of the straight and narrow, we are learning to give up a lot of our fleshly ways and help us to continue to do this with you, in Jesus' Name, Amen

I AM NOT FEEDING MY FLESH

I AM WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

I AM HEARING HIS VOICE

I AM GUILTY BUT SET FREE IN GOD

 ********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

  Defilement: we dont hear this word or maybe see this world only in the Old Testament, but we don’t hear it in the New Testament a lot, and a lot of people dont know what is it mean , but defilement is this: "To defile oneself means to make oneself spiritually unclean or impure." so its when we make ourselves unclean, and its many ways to do this and the bible gives us verses of what makes us defile

 •Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a person."

  •Galatians 5: 19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

  So within this verse, we have the basis of what could cause someone to defile themselves or what they could do to do this, and what we noticed is that anything that's of the flesh can do this; it tells us in Mark that out of the heart of a man comes evil thoughts and anything evil anything that's in our mind that is not of God and not of light and love in a decent way is defilement.

  Some people would say it is hard not to be defiled when we are around people every day because being around people, you can have thoughts to harm and thoughts to hate, and this causes defilement. I heard one man say one time that if you are by yourself. There is no one around you all day; that is how you can keep from defiling yourself. Still, the bible says these things are in our hearts, so I don't know if this is true. I spend a lot of time alone; I am single and have no kids. I'm alone a lot, and even texting people can cause me to defile myself because I might get upset, or I might watch TV and something is on there; it's something I don't like that can causes me to be defiled.

   There are tons of things that can cause you or me to defile ourselves; even what we look at can cause us to defile ourselves because what happens is the enemy will present us with something, and it won’t affect us right now. Still, we'll bring it back to our attention later on in our weakest moment so that we can react, so what we must do when we have these moments of defilement is ask God immediately to forgive us and give us the grace to withstand anything and everything that the enemy wants to attack us with.

 Ephesians 5:11  Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

   The word tells us that we shouldn't take on the unfruitful works of darkness; we can't grow in darkness, and we can't grow when we are dabbling in the works of the flesh. We must remember that living in this world. We have a ton of moments where lust, anger, and rage can grip us and pull us in,  but we can’t allow those things to stay. We must have joy, peace, forbearance, and be kind, and be good and, faithful to God, gentle to others who need it, and have self-control over our life; a lot of us avoid anything that could lead to fleshly deeds and some of us allow ourselves to lose control and not look at what God wants us to do which is bare fruit and be in the light.

  When we defile ourselves, we aren't walking in the light. We are thinking about ourselves, and the bible tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things And desperately wicked. Who can know it? Only the Lord knows our heart, which we have needs repair and healing, but we must be willing to put in the work and stay away from things we know will trigger us to sin.

 ***Today, we learned about defilement, what we can do to avoid it, and what causes it; as we grow and Christ, we will learn more about what doesn't feel right within our spirit and what, most importantly, what God honestly doesn't like. To keep from defilement, we must first not allow it around us or let it into our eyegates; every day, we must choose not to live in the realm of the flesh but in the realm of the spirit. The word of God states that when we walk in the spirit, we won't gratify the things of the flesh, and to stay in the spirit; we must do this: we must yield to his control and be led by the Holy Spirit, and fully rely on the spirit.

  The sinful appetite is fed when we submit to it; our sinful appetite can go away if we don't feed it as long as we feed it and allow it to dwell in us; we have to stop and ask God to give us control and a desire to deny the craving to allow what defiles us to stay around us, cleaning our home and phones of things that could defile can help I'm not going to lie the urges will be there for a little while and this doesn’t mean we won’t sin but this is when we must pick up our cross and say God help me carry my cross so I won't defile myself.  ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your grace and mercy. We thank you for loving us and keeping us safe. Lord, protect us with your loving arms. We ask you to help us not to enter into anything that could defile us. We give you our minds, eyes, and ears. Lord, we surrender these body parts and ask you to cleanse them and change us. Lord, our cross is so heavy we ask you to help carry it, and we ask you to help us not to fall into temptation. Give us strength in you, give us strength to say no to what we want; help us to not gratify the flesh but to walk in the spirit; in Jesus Name, Amen

I AM LOVING

I AM OBEDIENT

I AM KIND

********************************

THOUGHTS:

=======================

   To be truly cleansed from our sins, we must be forgiven and know what we were doing is now wrong. Still, when we get to this place in our life where we dont see no wrong, and we dont see what we do as a blocker from our relationship with Christ we are in trouble spiritually , in the verse today, it tells us we have to be blind if we can't see the things we were doing were purged from us. he says that we must, with every effort, add a list of qualities to ourselves, and the only way to do this is by submitting our life to God and  withstanding the trials and suffering of life

  Verse 5-6   For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness

   With every quality in this list, we must have the other to help with the other qualities, we must gain knowledge, and when we do gain knowledge, we gain self-control because the knowledge we learn comes slowly, but only as we allow ourselves to accept the knowledge, steadfast is something we gain once we understand self-control.

We can give a fool a million dollars, and if that fool doesn't know about knowledge of banking and saving he would waste his money but if you give 1  million dollars to someone that understands money and understand how to save he will have his money for a very long time, you see it doesn't matter how much knowledge someone has, but if he doesn't apply it and he doesn’t have self-control he will never be able to use the knowledge he has because he won't have the self-control to teach someone who doesn't know, God is so patient with us because no matter how many times we hit our heads no matter how many times we sin God will always be there to see us through it all.

  Verse 7-8  and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ

  As we grow in God in the his knowledge, we become closer to him; we begin to know him past what we read in the Bible , which is a more sensational relationship. I heard my mother talk about God my whole life. That was all she talked about, but I didn't understand why she prayed or why she worshipped the way she did.

I just saw the relationship , I never knew what it meant , but as I grew in my relationship with him, I realized why she prayed and why she worshipped because in worship and prayer chains are broken , in prayer and worship it set in environment for the lord to enter and as I do this I grow closer to my creator, to my lord, the lord wants us to grow in him in our way he wants us to love one another in our way but every quality the author has listed we need so we become more and more of the image of God. 

   Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

     Our freedom and grace aren't used and shouldn't be used for the flesh but to serve our fellow man, to love one another, to testify the good news of Christ. Still, a lot of us use the freedom we have by saying oh, I am a Christian. It's okay; I have grace. No, this is abusing our freedom; our freedom needs to be used, showing the world how our life is changed because of the blood of the lamb. Do not allow what people do and how we feel to affect our life with Christ. Our freedom was bought at a price,  which was Christ's life. Every day, we should take advantage of the freedom he has given us and serve him.

***Today we learned about our freedom and about grace , we have to be careful with what we do , we never want to abuse what we been given , the Israelites did that over and over again the abused what kindness the lord gave to them to grumble and be disobedient, but we have every day to bring glory to god by how we live our life, by asking god every day to fill us with knowledge and self control ,and control is something we must pray for daily because we want to have the self control to know when we are wondering off the path of god and when we are indulging into something we shouldn’t.

When we sin we must come to God and ask forgiveness so we can be forgiven and grow and learn from our mistakes , we will make mistakes , God knows this but to continue to do something we know he’s doesn’t like or want us to do is saying to him

I want to do this and this is my life and we shouldn’t take this approach with God every day we must come to him humble and change from our ways . ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

========================

PRAYER

========================

Heavenly Father thank you for another day to serve you and to dwell in your presence lord i ask you to forgive us of the sins we done , father whatever that is in this lesson for us to learn please help us to learn it and apply it , lord we ask you to help us to let go of sins that we cant conquer, its hard for us to do it on our own please give us your strength, Lord we need you so much , help us to be humble and see the error of our ways and to let go of anything we shouldn’t have in our life In Jesus’ Name Amen
