My AUTHORITY is with you!
 
My name is above all names. I am at My Father’s right hand. I reign. I rule. I am almighty. I am in control. I have conquered sin and death. No one is above Me or over Me. Angels aren’t. Kings of the earth aren’t. Governments aren’t and rulers of darkness aren’t. I have the final say over all that concerns you.

Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere (1 Corinthians 15:28 NLT).

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 2

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 2
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God is on the throne.

God has not made the earth and then abandoned it. He has not retreated somewhere in the universe and gone into hiding. He is today where He has always been, on His throne. God sees all things, knows all things, and is all-powerful. God is all in all. He is above all. Nothing is above Him. There is no king or ruler that has more authority than God; there is no political figure that has more influence than God; there is no nation that has more control than God. No one can outthink Him or outsmart Him. He is God Almighty. He has all authority in heaven and earth. His enemies are under His feet. He reigns and rules. He is the majesty on High.

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him (Psalm 2:1-12 NKJV).

Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice (Psalm 45:6 NLT).

God reigns above the heavens, sitting on His holy throne (Psalm 47:8 NLT).
 
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2 KJV).

My Morning Prayer, Living for Kingdom Purposes

My Morning Prayer, Living for Kingdom Purposes
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley, Meeting in the Meadow

Living for Kingdom Purposes
-Roy Lessin
 
So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God (Romans 6:13 NLT).
 
The life of every believer in Christ is set apart from a worldly purpose to a kingdom purpose; from impure living to holy living; from unrighteous actions to righteous actions; from selfish choices to loving choices; from wanting our own way to following His way; from pleasing ourselves to doing what is pleasing in His sight.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Good morning, Lord! Thank you for bringing us encouragement and instructions on how our lives are to be used—to bring glory to you and grow your kingdom! Help us to remember that your goals for our lives may look very different than what we have thought, trained, dreamed and planned for. Please change our hearts to desire to have holy living, righteous actions, and to live unselfishly while we walk this planet. Help us to remember what an honor it is to get to serve you, and to accept "Your will be done..." as a final answer to prayer. May we witness the goodness of your will being done in our lives, and may you be glorified in every decision we make (after prayerfully considering your will and listening to your voice). Equip us to be salt, light, and to bring your life to a hurting world. In Jesus's name, amen.

My PEACE is with you!
 
I am the Prince of Peace! Your Peace. Peace in the conflict, in the trial, in the valley, in the storm. Shalom peace. Peace from God. Peace with God. The peace of God. Peace that passes all understanding. Peace which the world cannot give. The peace of My Father’s will. The peace that quiets your heart.

“I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 1

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 1
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

You are not here by chance. 

It is no accident that you are alive today. You are here by God’s choosing. He was the one who formed you and breathed the breath of life into you. He has made no mistakes concerning you.

You were born at this time in history to fulfill His purpose for this generation. He has given you all the light you need to know His will, and He has given you all the grace you need to do His will.

He knows everything about you—your ups and downs, your highs and lows. He knows your thoughts, He knows your heart, and He is acquainted with all your ways. He has laid His hand of blessing upon you, and has placed His covering over you. He knows you by name and calls you His own. No one knows you better or loves you more.

Today, you are in God’s place, in God’s time, to fulfill God’s plan, in God’s way, by God’s grace, for God’s glory. 
 
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you (Psalm 139:15-18 NIV).

 
I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name (John 15:15-16 NLT).
