Devil, I put you on notice. Today you will be evicted from my mind because I have the mind of Christ, in Jesus’ name.
I release the voices in my head. Let them drown; let them be destroyed in the blood of Jesus.
I release the voice of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus to destroy all manipulations against me in my thoughts, my thinking, and my heart today, in Jesus’ incredible, awesome name. Amen.
I soak my life and my thoughts in the blood of Jesus.
I paralyze all satanic oppressions and depressions that are trying to penetrate my mind, my thinking, and my reasoning and block out the voice of the Holy Spirit. I drown those devils in the blood of Jesus.
I hold the blood of Jesus as a shield over my mind to protect me from any powers of darkness that are trying to poison my mindset. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I stand upon the spoken Word of God and declare myself unshakable and unmovable in this season and in the one to come, in the awesome, all-powerful name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

SPIRITUAL STAMINA

A WORD FROM THE WORD:

"...Then we will be able to run life's marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us." Hebrews 12:1 TPT.

Just like it takes physical stamina to run in, win a marathon, it requires spiritual stamina to run in and win the spiritual race.
It's not every victory that comes suddenly, and some breakthroughs are products of trained endurance, passion and determination; that is the grace to remain standing, believing, and obeying even when answers seem not to be forthcoming.
For many, they start well but give up along the way due to the lack of spiritual stamina. The admonition we get from God's Word opines that 'the race is not to the swift' (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NKJV), but to those who refuse to give up. Spiritual stamina is that quiet strength that keeps praying when results are not forthcoming, that keeps trusting God when evidence is barely visible, and keeps obeying when emotions are tired.

God never withholds His grace from those who asks, when spiritual stamina is at work, discouragement loses its grip, faith matures, and destiny is secured.
Spiritual stamina is not a given, but is developed in the quarry of trust and obedience, as you align with God's will and purpose for you. The benefits are out of this world as you will not quit halfway, or succumb as you inch closer to the finish line.

PRAYER BULLETS:

Loving LORD, thank You for showing Yourself strong on my behalf. Strengthen my heart, and renew my faith. Help me build the spiritual stamina that finishes strong.

The Coming of Elijah and the Restoration of All Things

Jesus taught that before the great and terrible Day of the Lord comes, there would be a work of restoration. He spoke about the coming of Elijah, the one who would come to prepare the way and restore all things. Hallelujah!

Just as God sent Elijah to prepare the way of the Lord and to prepare the nation of Israel to recognize and receive the Son of God, once again we see the manifestation of this ministry.

At that first moment, the mission was directed toward the nation of Israel, the Jews. Elijah came to prepare the people for the manifestation of the Messiah. But in this final manifestation, the mission is broader. It is not limited only to the Jews, but reaches all the peoples of the earth, especially the Church that is spread among the nations.

However, this time the mission is even broader. It is not only about preparing the way and presenting Jesus Christ to the people. It is also about confronting the works of darkness, bringing down the power of Satan, and confronting his kingdom.

It is a ministry of restoration, preparation, and spiritual confrontation. God is calling His people back to His Word, to repentance, holiness, and true worship, preparing them for the manifestation of the Lord.

Hallelujah! The God who sent Elijah in the past is the same God who continues to work to restore all things and prepare His people for the great Day of the Lord.

The Blessing of Kindness
Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.
Proverbs 21:21 (GNB)

There are blessings that motivate us to be kind. Treating people with kindness will help us keep our heart and attitude running in the right direction. Otherwise, we can easily become selfish and indifferent towards others. Christian kindness is tender-hearted. If the heart is hard on the inside and the manners are meek and polite and helpful on the outside, it is not Christian kindness. The idea behind "tender-hearted" is that our insides are easily touched.

Kindness causes us to act by words or deeds to help meet the needs and concerns of others, even of those who don’t deserve it. That’s the kindness God extends to us – He forgives, shows us favour, and helps us even though we don’t deserve it. Be encouraged to intentionally perform acts of kindness every day. This is how we are to treat others. It is a key to living the Christian life – being kind! So why not be kind and watch the blessings flow! This is your day.

Wisdom Fountain: "What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?"
Prayer: Father Lord, thank You for Your endless love and for showing me how to love others. Bless the kindness I share with the world. Give me a pure heart that gives without expecting anything back. May the small seeds of grace I plant bring comfort to the hurting, joy to the lonely, and light to dark places. Just as Your word promises that those who refresh others will be refreshed, let Your goodness flow back into my life in Jesus’ name.

Hold onto God's Word, trust His faithfulness, and let faith be greater than fear.

Share this with someone who needs encouragement to trust God in the middle of fear.

TODAY'S BIBLE READING
Thursday, August 27
OLD TESTAMENT
1 SAMUEL 3 — The Lord Calls Samuel
NEW TESTAMENT
REVELATION 1 — The Revelation of Jesus Christ
Congratulations on completing the book of Jude! Today we begin the book of Revelation.
MAJOR PROPHETS
ISAIAH 38 — Hezekiah's Illness and Prayer
TODAY'S REFLECTION
1 Samuel 3
Samuel hears God's voice and learns to respond with obedience: “Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.” God was preparing Samuel for his calling. We too must cultivate a heart that is willing to listen and obey.
Revelation 1
John receives a powerful revelation of Jesus Christ. Christ is revealed as the risen and glorified Lord who holds authority over His Church. The chapter reminds us that Jesus is with His people and remains Lord over everything.
Isaiah 38
Hezekiah becomes seriously ill and turns to God in prayer. God hears him and gives him additional years of life. His story reminds us that we can bring our deepest concerns honestly before God.
KEY VERSE
“Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.”
— 1 Samuel 3:9
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, give us hearts that are ready to hear and obey Your voice. Help us recognize Your leading and remain faithful to Your calling. Strengthen our faith as we study Revelation and remind us that Jesus Christ is Lord over all. Teach us, like Hezekiah, to bring every situation before You in prayer. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
TODAY'S CHALLENGE
Create quiet time to listen to God today. Read His Word attentively, pray sincerely, and be willing to obey whatever He places on your heart.
WE STUDY. WE PRAY. WE OBEY. WE GROW. UNTIL WE ARE TOTALLY TRANSFORMED.

POLICE WERE SENT FOR SMITH WIGGLESWORTH.
When I was in Switzerland the Lord was graciously working and healing many of the people. I was staying with Brother Reuss of Goldiwil and two policemen were sent to arrest me. The charge was that I was healing the people without a license. Mr. Reuss said to them, "I am sorry that he is not here just now. He is holding a meeting about two miles away, but before you arrest him let me show you something."
Brother Reuss took these two policemen down to one of the lower parts of that district, to a house with which they were familiar, for they had often gone to that place to arrest a certain woman, who was repeatedly put in prison because of continually being engaged in drunken brawls. He took them to this woman and said to them, "This is one of the many cases of blessing that have come through the ministry of the man you have come to arrest. This woman came to our meeting in a drunken condition. Her body was broken, for she was ruptured in two places. While she was drunk, the evangelist laid his hands on her and asked God to heal her and deliver her." The woman joined in, "Yes, and God saved me, and I have not tasted a drop of liquor since." The policemen had a warrant for my arrest, but they said with disgust, "Let the doctors do this kind of thing." They turned and went away and that was the last we heard of them.
We have a Jesus that heals the broken-hearted, who lets the captives go free, who saves the very worst. Dare you, dare _you, spurn this glorious Gospel of God for spirit, soul and body? Dare you spurn this grace? I realize that this full Gospel has in great measure been hid, this Gospel that brings liberty, this Gospel that brings souls out of bondage, this Gospel that brings perfect health to the body, this Gospel of entire salvation. Listen again to this word of Him who left the glory to bring us this great salvation, "Verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, ... he shall have whatsoever he saith.
