Imagine waking up in the morning and the enemy immediately begins whispering lies. Your feelings are speaking loudly. Your circumstances seem to be singing a song of defeat.What do you do? You simply enthrone what God has said above everything else. Then your heart, your thoughts, and even your earthly circumstances will eventually have to align with the truth of God. Psalm 29:3 NLT says: “The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.”

Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive. Isaiah 52:2 NIV Beloved, as we conclude this series, let us learn to walk in the joy that cannot be taken away from us—the joy that only God gives. This joy comes when we walk in the perfect will of God. That is we enthrone His Word above our feelings and circumstances. Romans 12:2 NIV says, “ Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be tra

Beloved, Christ has finished the work. Therefore, circumstances: Sickness, delay, Loss, And even death does not have the final say.God alone is worthy of the throne. So shake off the dust. Rise up. Sit enthroned in Christ. Refuse to allow what you see around you to determine what you believe about God.

Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive. Isaiah 52:2 NIV When the Lord heard that Lazarus was sick, He said: “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” (John 11:4 NIV) Notice that Jesus did not enthrone the circumstances over God’s glory. He did not allow sickness to have the final say. But when Jesus arrived after Lazar

Are we allowing difficult circumstances to renew our minds back into captivity, or are we allowing God’s Word to renew our minds into freedom? Romans 12:2 NIV says:“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.“ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14 )

Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive. Isaiah 52:2 NIV Romans 6:16 NIV says, “Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey.” Beloved, we become servants of whatever we choose to obey. We can allow our senses to rule us, or we can allow the Spirit of God to lead us. What sits on the throne of our hearts determines the dir

Beloved, we need the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to us continually. When the revelation of Jesus becomes rooted in our hearts, we become firmly established. Circumstances may change, people may change, and storms may come, but the foundation remains unshaken. Who is Jesus to you?

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Matthew 16:15 ESV In the preceding verses, the Lord had just asked His disciples who people thought He was. They gave various answers, such as John the Baptist, Elijah, or one of the prophets. Then Jesus made the question personal: "Who do you say I am?" The verse emphasizes that faith in Christ is a personal response, not merely an opinion inherited from others. In the next verses, Simon Peter answered: "You are the Messiah, t

VOL LXV PRAY FOR YOUR LAND I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Timothy 2:1–2 KJV Notice that our verse says we can lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty in our land, when we offer prayers for everyone including the people in authority, regardless o

In Christ, we are not incomplete. We are not abandoned. We are not without resources. We are connected to the One who completes all things everywhere. Therefore, let us keep feeding on His Word until what He says about us becomes more real to us than what circumstances say about us.

SERIES 2: XXXIV the Lord, whose promises I praise. Psalm 56:10 GNT Let us feed on His Word daily so that we may learn to do GREATER THINGS—the very works of the Father—to the amazement of the world! The Word of God is the mirror that reflects who we truly are in Christ—the true image of God for the world to see and marvel at. As we continually look into His Word, we discover not merely who God is, but who we are in Him. 1 Timothy 4:15 GNT says, “Practice these things and devo

it does not matter how fierce the storm may appear—whether it is financial, marital, relational, physical, or otherwise. We can remain calm and collected because God is the One at work in us. Remember Christ is seated, and we are seated with Him, do not interrupt His rest because of the dictates of our senses as the disciples did on the boat. (Mark 4:40 )

Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive. Isaiah 52:2 NIV In Mark 4, when the storm arose and the disciples became terrified that the boat was sinking, they woke Jesus and said, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” (Mark 4:38 NIV) Jesus calmed the storm, but He did not commend them for waking Him. Instead, He asked, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” (Mark 4:40 NIV) The
