Divine Ability

Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free," We fulfill our purpose through the Spirit's anointing. We have to learn to operate through "divine ability" - doing everything through HIM who gives us strength!! Motivation, strength, and inspiration need to come from the Anointed One... Jesus Christ!!!

Are you a problem solver?

Genesis 41:33 "And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt." After Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream and told him his problem, instead of just leaving him with this dilemma, he was a problem solver!! He told Pharaoh what would need to be done!! Are you a problem solver? Or do you create problems? Joseph could have easily left Pharaoh with the bad news about the famine, thinking that it wasn't his responsibility... But he didn't! And because of his problem solving, he was the wise man who was put in charge of the land!! Everyone loves someone who can solve problems.... Anyone can create them or find them, but it takes someone better to solve them. Be a problem solver today!!

Healed and praising God.

Acts 3:8 "He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God." When this man was healed, and he could walk and run, he praised God!! Now do you think if he could walk like that when he was born, he would be praising God like that on this day? Probably not!! Sometimes there are things about ourselves that make us think like, "I just wish I wasn't always so frustrated with everyone." or "I wish I didn't always worry so much." You are that way for a reason. Not so you can worry or be frustrated, but so you can give that up to God and you have something to praise him about!!! What is something that God can "heal" you from that will make you give the glory to him?!

Visualization before Realization

Genesis 13:14 "The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west." God wants us to see his promises coming true before they actually do... In the devotional plan I'm reading on YouVersion, it says. "There must be a visualization before the realization; it is the vision you perceive that gives rise to the reality you achieve." He will give you a vision or a picture in your mind about how something will look, so you can see how his promise will come true!! Whenever God gives you a dream in your mind and you watch it unfold into reality, all the glory goes to Him!!! Do you have a picture in your head of a dream He has given you? Are you ready to watch it become reality?

Prayer Works!!!

Daniel 6:23 "The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God." When Daniel was put in the lions den for praying, he didn't stop praying... He prayed and prayed and put his trust in God completely!! When the king came back the next day, Daniel was alive with no wounds whatsoever!! Prayer works!! Make prayer a lifestyle!! And trust in Him always!! He DOES hear you and he DOES care!!!
