We serve a loving Father Who knows all things. He desires to reveal His living Word in us. His Word helps us discover who we really are, and what our purpose is. His Word gives us confidence in who He created us to be. We stop trying to be like everyone else. We learn how to be the person of love, peace, joy, and assurance, He has created us to be. “But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, He has revealed to us His inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things.” 1 Corinthians 2:10 TPT Thank You, Lord, for revealing the depths of the wisdom of Christ in us. Thank You for all the treasures we received, through the cross of Jesus Christ. Help us discover who we are in You, according to Your Word, and not in ourselves. Blessings, as Your Creator reveals Himself, in and through you. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

STOP AND THINK! WE HAVE HOLY SPIRIT LIVING IN US AND GUIDING US! We no longer have the spirit of the world that brings death. We have Holy Spirit, Who brings the abundant life of Jesus Christ. Now, we just have to consciously think upon, acknowledge, and appreciate all the favor and blessings we have from our loving FATHER! They all belong to us! That’s our true reality! We need to learn to reject the lies of the spirit of the world and walk in the truths of the Holy Spirit. “Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 AMPC Thank You, Lord, for helping us realize how truly blessed we are. Help us think about, and see Your blessings, that You shower on us daily. Blessings, as your thoughts come into agreement with all of God’s gifts, given to you through JESUS! Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

When we choose to let our natural understanding lead us, we are not fully receiving and walking in the gifts God has given us. We miss out on so much, because our trust is in what we see, hear, and feel. It gets our focus off the supernatural provision, promises, and gifts the Holy Spirit desires to empower us to walk in. The more we surrender to God’s Word and ways, the more our understanding opens to recognize, believe, and receive God’s revelation truth. “But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 AMPC Holy Spirit, expose and bring change to every area of our lives, where we rely on our natural understanding and ability more than Your supernatural wisdom and strength. Thank You, for helping us recognize and receive all Your teachings, that will instruct us to overcome every obstacle. Blessings, as God exposes and transforms every area of Your life for His GLORY. Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

When we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we receive constant access to the heart of God. We have the very mind of Christ. Our spirits are forever joined to His eternal Life. He has all the knowledge of the past, present, and future. How can we know and understand His plans and purposes for us? The same way Jesus discovered who He was. We study God’s Word and invite Holy Spirit to reveal the true Heart of God. As we read and meditate on it, God’s Word has the power to awaken and change our thoughts to come into agreement with His. It has the power to ignite our will and decisions to come into obedience to His. It has the power to heal our emotions, so we can respond with His wisdom in situations. “For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa. 40:13.]” 1 Corinthians 2:16 AMPC Holy Spirit, help us receive God’s heart and purposes, as we read Your Word. Continually bring God’s Word of Truth into our thoughts. Blessings, as Holy Spirit awakens a passionate desire for God’s Word. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

What an honor we have to work together with our loving, Almighty God. We are continually being cultivated by God. He is producing His fruit in us, so we can encourage others with hope in Christ. He is building us up on His solid foundation of truth and righteousness. We belong to God, and not ourselves anymore. He wants to remove the wood, hay, and straw, that will not withstand the fire of adversity. He wants to build with gold, silver, and precious stones, that establish His indestructible Kingdom in our lives. “For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building. [Isa. 61:3.]” 1 Corinthians 3:9 AMPC Thank You, Lord, for giving us the most stable and secure foundation, which is Christ. We choose to surrender to Your blueprint (Your Word) for our lives. Blessings, as God cultivates you into His beautiful garden. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Every good thing we have is because of our wonderful, loving, gracious Father. He sends people into our lives to impart the wisdom of His counsel, through His Word. He gives us the ability to comprehend, and do what we need to do, to prosper in this life. He gives us strength for each new day to accomplish this. It is truly His grace, that enables us to live in the victory of Christ Jesus. “I don’t want to hear any of you bragging about yourself or anyone else. Everything is already yours as a gift—Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the present, the future—all of it is yours, and you are privileged to be in union with Christ, who is in union with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 MSG Wow! LORD, we are forever grateful for the honor of being one with You. We have Your wisdom to lead and guide us through life’s decisions. Help us not rely on worldly wisdom, more than Your wisdom. Blessings, as you discover all of God’s gifts, which He has given to you. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
