"THE SOUND OF PROMISE"

"My Ears Are Filled With The Sounds Of Promise." Psalms 11b MSG

 In your quest for obtaining great faith there will be moments when you have to put your foot on the neck of what you hear. I promise you that you will hear a lot of discouraging words and accusations. The enemy will always try to get in our ear, whispering for us to quit, give up, you can't make it, you can't do that, it will never happen, you will always be broke, you will always be sick, they don't like you, your not beautiful, you don't measure up, your not special, your not talented, there is no reason to live, no one loves you, your going to die, I can go on with the endless lies that the devil deposits on a daily basis. The sad part about it is that so many believers are used to this sound!

You cannot allow these fake statements of the enemy rob you of your faith. In this portion of the Psalm vs. 6-11 the writer is declaring that God's people shall overcome. And the promise of God to defeat their enemies and the witness of their malicious detractors going down. God's promises are declared that His people will prosper for they are like palm trees that grow tall like the tress of Lebanon. They are transplanted to the Lord's house, they flourish in the presence of God and always remain vital and green (full of life, vigor, beneficial, fresh, new, characterized by the presence of verdure.)

Who and what is in your ear? When we hear God's word and His promise and do not take heed to it we deceive our own selves. What we know about God should stimulate a sound that can only be heard by those who trust Him. His promises to us are sure, that He will never leave us or forsake us, that anything we ask in Jesus name shall be given to us, that He is a very present help in the time of trouble, He promises us His favor, His mercies that are brand new everyday, His grace, long life, satisfaction, peace, joy, it never ends. Paul said in 2nd Corinthians 7:1 "With these promises ringing in our ears, dear friends, let us keep clear of anything that smirches body or soul." Let us prove our reverence for God (that we hear the sounds) by consecrating ourselves to Him completely."

Today I challenge you to consecrate your ears, let nothing defile or defect your hearing. Keep your ears clean, that they will continually be filled with the sounds of promise!

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda
