Week of 5/18/2026 Encouragement

The enemy tries to release fear of lack throughout the earth. We’ve seen it in the past in stores with shelves emptied, because people are hoarding for fear of not having enough. As sons and daughters of God, we can trust our God to provide our needs. He is our great Shepherd and we have no lack in Him. We cannot let the lies of the enemy make us live in fear, dread, and panic. Not when our loving God watches over us. He is more than enough!
“And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.” Deuteronomy 29:5 NKJV
Think about it, forty years walking around in the hot desert, and their clothes and shoes never wore out. God provided for their every need. Why would we let threats of lack, cause us to doubt and question God’s provision for us? Lord, expose every area where the voice of fear has tried to override the great and precious promises of our loving FATHER! Blessings, as trust and faith in God’s promises silences and drives out every lie against God’s Word. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Obedience can take place two different ways. One can be made to obey out of fear of consequences, or one can obey from a place of deep love and respect. God desires obedience from a desire to lovingly please Him in all we do. This kind of obedience releases His revelation truth to understand and receive the fullness of His blessings.
“Then Samuel replied, “Does the LORD want entirely burned offerings and sacrifices as much as obedience to the LORD? Listen to this: obeying is better than sacrificing, paying attention is better than fat from rams,” 1 Samuel 15:22 CEB
Lord, help us to obey Your Word from a deep love and honor for You. May we be attentive to Your Word. May we desire Your instructions above our desires and opinions. Where else could we go for the Words of Life? YOU ARE THE WORD OF LIFE! Blessings, as God’s abounding love releases His truth for abundant life In you. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

When we apply Godly wisdom above worldly wisdom, we gain understanding and guidance to true wealth. The treasure we receive through living in God’s wisdom sustains us and brings us into His supernatural provision. When we invite Holy Spirit to help us understand and apply God’s Word, He will reveal the treasures of God’s Word to us. We read God’s Word to enter into an intimate relationship with Him, and from that place, we gain knowledge and understanding of His Wisdom.
“9 If you have understanding, you will see that My words are just what you need. 10 Let instruction and knowledge mean more to you than silver or the finest gold. Proverbs 8:9-10 CEV
Lord, thank You for Your great love that keeps us in intimate fellowship, revealing Your truth for us to walk victoriously in. It’s Your love that You filled our hearts with, by loving us first, when we didn’t even love You. Lord, help us to keep You and Your love the driving force for our lives, moving us forward into Your promises and perfect plan. Blessings, as God’s love guides You into a “living it out” understanding of His Wisdom. Love y’all, but remember, JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

God’s Word will lead us into the place of His abundant love, joy, and peace, even through difficult situations. When we set our hearts to follow God’s Word, we will find the answers to overcome in this life. It’s all in Jesus, and Jesus is the Word being lived out in the flesh. He showed us how to apply the Word to every part of our lives.
“Hear, for I will speak excellent and princely things; and the opening of my lips shall be for right things.” Proverbs 8:6 AMPC
May we let Your Word have rulership in our lives, to direct our decisions and desires. May we desire to please You, making You the center of our world, above all else. Blessings, as God’s Word releases wisdom to walk victoriously through life. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

The Lord desires to wake us up every morning with a Word, to help us through whatever we are facing. When we take time to calm ourselves, and wait to hear His Words of wisdom, we can approach each day with His confidence and joy. We can choose to give our attention to God, Who has the answers, or to the problem which will release unrest, worry, and fear. Giving our attention to God’s Wisdom releases His peace and joy in us.
“Blessed [happy, prosperous, to be admired] is the man who listens to Me, Watching daily at My gates, Waiting at My doorposts.” Proverbs 8:34 AMP
Lord, help us to give our undivided attention to Your Word, that releases us into abundant life and victory. We choose to give our attention to You first, to receive Your wise counsel and instruction for each new day. Thank You Lord, for releasing an excitement for Your Word. Blessings, as you receive His instructions for abundance today. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

As the church of Jesus Christ, we have a great responsibility to declare His Kingdom and will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. We are not told to declare how things are. 10 of the 12 spies did that, and the Lord called it an evil report. The two that agreed and declared God’s truth, eventually entered the promised land. In Christ, God released His authority (keys) to us. Now, it is critically important that we declare God’s Word and not just report what we see, hear, and feel. God’s Word releases us to believe God to be victorious and overcoming in Christ. Reporting just what we’re seeing and hearing, releases us into a defeated, give-up, victim mentality. Heaven is not in turmoil, defeat, division, or lack. Those are the things we are to be taking authority over and canceling their influence.
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. [Isa. 22:22.]” Matthew 16:19 AMPC
Lord, we declare peace, victory, unity, provision, and protection in CHRIST throughout our land. We loose those who stand for righteousness, truth, and justice to influence and govern our nation. We bind the lies of fear and mind control, and break those evil influences off of people. Blessings, as you release God’s loving heart and His victory into the earth! Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
