Walk in your Authority

We answer to God and God alone. God is calling for us to listen up. We have to be very careful that the direction we are taking is not from needing appointment, title, ego, pride, or financial driven. We have to get to a place where we are only seeking the approval of God.

God has created each and every one of us for a specific purpose. Are you walking in who God created you to be? We have got so caught up in being a part of the crowd. I know it is comfortable there and it feels safe, but it is a dangerous place to be in. To be out of the will of God for instant gratification is the one of the worst things we can do. We have to die to our flesh.

God has created you to do something to change the world forever. God gave you a specific task that no one else can fulfill. I don't know what else you need to hear to know how special you are. The creator of all things is call you, saying you were the one made for this. You have to take that as a badge of honor. Begin to walk in your authority.

Seek God daily on what to do. Just like when you order or buy something you check for instructions. God is our instruction manual. Ask him how you were intended to be used. Your purpose and daily function.

God will go ahead

I woke up to read my bible and Joshua 6 opened up. The story of Jericho. Joshua sent spies, but God was already ahead of them. When the spies got to the city Rahab the woman that hid them already told them that they were all terrified that they were coming.

God gave instruction to Josha to give to the people. Every day they would circle the city of Jericho one time leading with the seven priests, with seven horns ahead of the chest of the covenant and all his soldiers for six days. The priests blowing the horns as they circled on the seventh day, the circled seven times, the priests blew their horns, and Josha signaled for the people to shout. Telling them God had given them the city. They shouted and clapped, and the walls came crashing down.

Joshua gave the people strict orders that Jericho was under a holy curse. That all the old, silver, bronze, and iron was to go to God's treasury but nothing else was to be taken. Everything killed and burned and so they did. As the walls fell everyone was killed but Rahab and her family.

All they had to do was be obedient. God had gone ahead of them. The city was already scared just hearing they were coming. God had already told Joshua the city was theirs. God brought down the wall and let them in. God has all the power, and he is giving us dominion over the land to reclaim his kingdom. Do you trust him enough to follow instructions?

The day of New Beginnings

Today is 8/8 and adding 2+0+2+4=8. The meaning of 8 in the bible is new beginning. The symbol of resurrection and regeneration. I hope you fully embrace today with a new outlook. Let it be a day full of prayer and reflection with God.

God woke me up earlier around 1 am to begin to pray over my family and household. God even gave me the prayer to pray. A lot directed around preparation and renewed mindsets to walk into the doors he has opened and finish this year out stronger than we started it.

He also set me on gratefulness for the changed mindset in our siblings and parents. They are making the decision to teach better through their actions. I told God I was so proud of them and thanked him for helping them along.

Today is a special day that does not come around to often. A day that the heavens are open, and the angels are waiting for instruction. Make sure you are focused on what you want your life to look like from this day on. That you are not taking any nonsense in. That you spend a good portion if not all of it talking to God about what you need to do to walk into what you are asking for.
