Have we rebelled or held on to what we have been told, as it relates to the word of God? 

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. (John 15:7)

Where have placed the word of God? I encourage you to find it and keep it close to your heart and mind. Nothing is impossible because all things are possible with Him.

In righteousness you will be established: tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. (Isa 54:14)

Have no conversation or communion with fear. It is not a part of our destiny or future ahead. God has cancelled all calamity before us in our pathway. We cannot eat or consume what the Lord has already discarded. 

The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. (Deut 30:7)

What and who determines our enemy or enemies? So much is to be said about the choices and decisions in life. As a norm, we have the tendency to conclude that our enemies and opposers are someone other than ourselves. When in fact, we create our best and worst enemies in our mind. Have we excluded how capable and influential we can convince ourselves that we can do nothing wrong? Have we persecuted ourselves from reaching our fullest potential of being greater than we really are? Have we cursed ourselves and those we are connected to? I challenge you to eliminate yourselves and the perception of evil allowing the power of God to bless you. 

Will you always be angry? Will your wrath continue forever? This is how you talk but you do all the evil you can. (Jer 3:5)

Have the evils of our world been counted in the place of good? There are many ways to contribute and distribute our bad habits or wrongdoing. However, have we considered or realized that it’s not working quite how we expected? The small details and choices we make affects us tremendously. Have we considered the ways and goodness of Christ Jesus? If so, I challenge you to turn your bitter into sweet. 

A son honors his father, and a slave his master. “If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty. (Mal 4:6)

What do we respect and honor each day? Have we placed or replaced our obedience in ourselves or other matters of this world? Whatever we submit to, we obey and it becomes the “Father” of our lives. 

I am the breach of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 

Contamination is not for the nourishment of our souls. Feed off of and drink the cup of Christ today. 

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.            (Jam 2:17)

Is it necessary to continue our faith in all things? Some have placed it aside, hung it up in the closet, sealed it and some have placed it in storage. Have we completely abandoned our faith in Christ? Do we use him on a case by case basis? When is the time to exercise our faith? It is never too late because the truth is, now. The challenge is, would you want someone to place you in a temporary or permanent storage?
