HUMILITY

God humbles us for our own good (Deuteronomy 8:16)

God hears the prayers of the humble (2 Chronicles 7:14)

and My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

God saves those who are humble (Psalm 18:27)

** Daily Devotions * November 28, 2013 * Positive Thinking * Walking the Walk with Christ **

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to rest and approve what God's will is --His good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

The teachings of our Lord embraces positive thinking, but reaches beyond thoughts to touch the hidden possibilities of the Spirit.

When we face the reality of situations in our lives, positive thinking can help up to a point, but a relationship with the living Christ can do so much more.

Positive thinking can only bring about limited solutions. Real change comes when you move past thinking, to an unshakable trust of God's work in your life.

Positive thinking, together with solid faith in the almighty Christ, is a creative fore that enables you to live as God intended you to live --in victory and with joy.

** Daily Scripture * Gratitude * November 28, 2013 * Walk the Walk with Christ

"I will make known the Lord’s faithful love and the Lord’s praiseworthy acts, because of all the Lord has done for us— even the many good things He has done for the house of Israel and has done for them based on His compassion and the abundance of His faithful love." Isaiah 63:7

** Daily Devotions * November 27, 2013 * Experience Christ's Fullness * Walking the Walk with Christ **

God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to himself all things. Colossians 1:19-20

Jesus was not just "a good person," He was more than good. He was the personification of perfection.

This breathtaking truth is so overwhelming that we might even hesitate to approach the Lord. But, if He is your Savior, there is no barrier that can separate you from Him. Because of this, life becomes filled with fullness!

Read Ephesians 3:17-18, "So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp ow wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."

How privileged we are, as God's children, to partake in His festival of love.

* * Daily Bible Scripture * Accountability * November 27, 2013 * *

God will judge our work (2 Chronicles 19:5-10)

He appointed judges in all the fortified cities of the land of Judah, city by city. 6 Then he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the matter of judgment. 7 And now, may the terror of the Lord be on you. Watch what you do, for there is no injustice or partiality or taking bribes with the Lord our God.” 8 Jehoshaphat also appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites and priests and some of the heads of the Israelite families for ⌊deciding⌋ the Lord’s will and for ⌊settling⌋ disputes of the residents of Jerusalem. 9 He commanded them, saying, “In the fear of the Lord, with integrity, and with a whole heart, you are to do the following: 10 for every dispute that comes to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities—whether it regards differences of bloodguilt, law, commandment, statutes, or judgments —you are to warn them, so they will not incur guilt before the Lord and wrath will not come on you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not incur guilt. 11 “Note that Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all matters related to the Lord, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all matters related to the king, and the Levites are officers in your presence. Be strong; may the Lord be with those who do what is good.” 2 Chron 19:5-11 (HCSB)

** Bible Scripture * Criticism * November 26, 2013 * Bible Verses **

Take care of your own problems before criticizing others (Matthew 7:3-5)

3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye? 5 Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. -- Matt 7:3-5 (HCSB)

Criticism should help people deepen their relationship with God (Luke 17:3-5)

3 Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” -- Luke 17:3-5 (HCSB)

Criticism should be given with a loving attitude (1 Corinthians 13:4-5)

4 Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited, 5 does not act improperly, is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs. -- 1 Cor 13:4-5 (HCSB)

Harsh criticism can destroy rather than help (Galatians 5:15)

15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another. -- Gal 5:15 (HCSB)

** Daily Devotions * November 26, 2013 * An Open Door * Walking the Walk with Christ **

See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. Revelations 3:8

Constant grumbling and drudgery makes life seem meaningless. It doesn’t take someone who lives like this long to wilt intellectually and develop a negative, cynical attitude towards life.

But Christ wants so much more for us. Scripture, history and personal experience offer ample testimony to the fact that an ordinary, seemingly meaningless life can be transformed by the power of the living Christ and through His Holy Spirit.

This new life of abundance that Christ offers you is yours for the taking. Turn to Christ and He will open the door to a new meaningful life for you.

"Before long, the world will not see Me anymore, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. John 14:19"

Many people harbor anxiety because the future is unknown to them, and become pessimistic and discouraged. We must constantly remind ourselves that life is extremely precious, so that we don’t fall into the trap of depression.

Even if the future seems bleak, you can be assured that your life and future are in God's hands. God is in control of everything. There is joy in Christ because He is the Rock on which you can build your life. His grace is sufficient to get you through each day.

Seize this life and live it in the abundance of Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.

Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ.

It is not always easy to choose which road you should follow. But accepting Christ as Lord of your life puts divine powers into action. Your values in Him will provide you with an inspired yet practical goal.

Choosing your goal and objectives with Christ will put you on the right road and will bring joy, confidence and enthusiasm into your life.

If you walk through life in the Light of God, the whole journey becomes a joyous experience.

Live Life to the Fullest November 2013 **

For with You is the foundation of life;

in Your Light we see light.

Life is the best thing God has given me. So I'm grateful for it. When I accept the goodness of life, I stop fighting against it.

When I accept that life is good, all impatience and frustration is removed and life becomes a satisfying and exciting experience.

Allow your life to be controlled by godly principles and it will become an expression of those plans. You will possess a unity with the Creator, and your life will be filled with the fullness of God.

** Walk the Walk with Christ * November 19, 2013 * Desires * Dreams * Goals **

Desires - Dreams - Goals - Expectations

All of these are part of our everyday lives. Dreams generally begin with the desire of something --buy a car, own a home, have a great paying job (profession). We have a general idea of what it's going to take in order to achieve that dream. We begin to set goals and expect to meet, or exceed our goals. This, however, may leave plenty of room for disappointments (when things that we expect don’t quite happen)

Disappointments lead to doubt and discouragement . Negative thoughts start to play in our head --what if I'm not good enough, what if I fail, etc. When disappointment creeps in, you should take it as the perfect opportunity to stand stronger. You don’t quit! You don’t give up! Instead, you put forth more effort. You work harder. You put your faith in God!

God knows your dreams. You have to remember that anything is possible with God's assistance. You and God make a perfect team. Put your faith in Him, and together you will achieve your dreams.

Jesus Lives by Sarah Young

Seeing His Love in Your Life

I WANT YOU TO LIVE CLOSE TO Me, SEEING THINGS FROM My PRESPECTIVE MORE AND MORE. Walk as a child of Light, for My radiance is all around you and also within you; it transforms you inside and out. Remember that you were once darkness until My Spirit quickened you to life, empowering you to live in My Holy Presence. Dwell on this blessed remembrance until gratitude for My glorious grace wells up within you.

Trust Me to lead you step by step through each day. I provide sufficient Light for only one day at a time. If you try to look into the future, you will find yourself peering into darkness: My face shines upon you only in the present! This is where you find My gracious love that never fails you. Live ever so near Me --flourishing in My transforming Light.

"For you were once darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord. Walk as children of Light. " Ephesians 5:8

"The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you." Numbers 6:25

"Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God." Psalm 92:13

** Walk the Walk with Christ * November 18, 2013 * My Version Devotions **

The Lord will fight for Me; I need only be still. He knows how weary I am, for I am His child. I have been struggling just to keep my head above the water, and my strength is running low. Now is the time for Me to stop striving and let God fight for Me. Though this is not easy for me to do; and I feel as if I must keep struggling in order to survive, He is calling me to rest in Him. He is working on My behalf; so I need only be still and remember that He is God.

Quieting My body is a somewhat challenging task, however stilling my mind seems downright impossible. In my striving to feel secure, I rely too heavily on my own thinking. My struggle to be in control has elevated my mind to a position of autonomy. Therefore, I need the intervention of the Holy Spirit. I ask Spirit to control my mind more and more --soothing me from the inside out as I take the time to rest in the shadow of the Almighty while He fights for Me.

"Then He replied, 'My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.' " Exodus 33:14
