Hello 👋 😁 & Welcome!
Today’s word is a reflection of God’s genuine, unadulterated and a peculiar people. These individuals are not diluted with any different or extra elements but are in fact, complete and absolute.
God is looking for “Faithful Committed People,” whose eyes and hearts are fixed upon Him. The Lord is constantly watching everyone, and He gives strength to those who faithfully obey and put their trust in Him. (II Chronicles 16:9)
The world is tired of fake pretentious people attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, than is actually possessed. They’re looking for stability, honesty and truth as these are all characteristics of Christ. In which, we should press toward the mark, that we might obtain. God is looking for bold, genuine and authentic people as “Hard things can be achievable with ease when we do them by God’s grace.”
Philippians 3:14
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
God spoke to my mind, “The thing that brought you down, is going to be the very thing that carries you up!” He is getting ready to catapult you in a new season and different direction. One your enemies will not be anticipating nor see coming, as God prepares a table before you right in the presence of your enemies and makes them your footstool.
Psalm 23:5-6
5- “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
6- “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”
Psalm 110:1
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
In Psalm 110, Here we see the covenant of redemption, God's eternal plan, and the appointment of Christ to his office. In these poetic words we see Christ's Kingdom, His church, His enemies, His humiliation, His exaltation, and His triumph.
And that being said, we do not glory in someone else’s downfall but humbly pray for those who are hostile against us and causing ill will by submitting all things into the hands of the Lord, as it’s a dangerous thing, to fall in the hands of God. Yet, if any rejoice woe unto them that his anger is not reverted towards you. Let us always remember to practice doing right and to walk humbly, before our King. 👑
Hebrews 10:31
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Proverbs 24:16-18
16- “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.”
17- “Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth.”
18- “Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.”
Jesus is our true prime example and we are to measure ourselves accordingly, to Him. So many people tear down others to make themselves look good. Yet, you never look good making someone else look bad in your attempt to shame others, because you may imitate and follow as a model but you lack the essence of their presence in the way one carries themselves and their god-given persona.
We are all unique and wonderfully made as nobody is better than another because our creator did not form us to compare ourselves to each other but rather to love and reciprocate His love in return. 💞
Psalms 139:14
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
In fact, it says more about what you have going on underneath the interior than what you are actual trying to convey as the exterior, you want to convince others by a false self of superiority. Furthermore, you hide under an illusion deceiving both yourself and others by failing to realize you’ve created a mess against yourself as God has to judge evil and wickedness. God’s law of sowing and reaping only makes us accountable for our actions in hopes to bring us toward conviction and true repentance.
Therefore, there is quite a difference between feeling remorseful verses repentance as the first is an emotional state of getting caught, being exposed and not feeling sorrowful. While the other is an act of seeking God’s forgiveness because of our human frailty, owning up to our shortcomings, showing empathy, taking total responsibility and having a repentant heart. Then asking God, for his help and to turn away from this behavioral pattern that keeps tripping us up for the purpose of entanglement. As lies are known to weave a web 🕸 when we practice deceit just as a spider🕷is a spiritual representation of entrapment.
🙏 A Prayer of Repentance:
“Dear Heavenly Father, I have suffered at the hands of others. I know things have conditioned, altered and hurt me. But it’s not just all about my situation, or past. I’ve made mistakes, and the denial of my sin, is an obstacle towards my freedom. I refuse to be deceived by lies, telling me there is no hope for me because you are my hope. I will not be confused by Satan’s schemes and as I place one hand upon my eyes, I ask that you remove my spiritual blindness and fill it with spiritual discernment that I might be able to see clearly. God, I fully acknowledge and accept that you want to set me free in truth. It’s why you sent your only son, to save me. That I may be free in Christ rising up. Show me Lord, the areas I am most weak in and deceived, that you might cleanse me from all unrighteous and set my feet 👣 on solid ground as you heal my inner wounds. Forgive me Lord, free me Jesus and cleanse me Father from all impurities as you renew our Spirit. Lord, I pray for that individual, under the sound of my voice that keeps falling prey to the tactics of Satan that you would begin to release their chains. In the mighty name of Jesus’ we believe, decree and proclaim, the work has been finished at the cross and your words, are Yes and Amen!” 🙌🏻
In His Grip,
Pastor Wendy Schenkel
