You Say, Great Spirit Does

-
"This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection."


There is an old story about a young man who was a king in the middle eastern countries.  He was very close to the Great Spirit. He was so close to the Great Spirit that he was called, "a being after the Great Spirit's own heart."  This young man was not perfect though. He faced his share of problems, some of them he brought on himself.  One thing he did do was always come back to the Creator when he messed up. In one of his stories he was going through a very tough time. During this tough time he didn't sit back and say,"Too bad for me. Look at all these problems, I will never get out of this. This is the end of me."  No, he did the opposite. He put his faith in the Creator into action. He used his words to change his thinking. He got into agreement with the Creator.  He made a bold declaration,"The Great Spirit is my refuge, my safe place. He will rescue me from every trap. He will keep me healthy. He has me covered. His promises are true."  What was this young man doing? Getting into agreement. He was changing his thinking from letting all those negative thoughts overtaking him to making the Great Spirit truly Greater than his problems.  Notice what happens when we declare who the Great Spirit is, the Great Spirit will come through on his promises to be our rescuer, our comforter, our shelter.  When you change your thoughts and declare who the Great Spirit is, he will do for you and be for you what he has promised.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
GREAT SPIRIT, Whose voice I hear in the winds, thank you for being bigger than anything I may face. Thank you for sending me your promises of comfort, strength,wisdom, and protection. Today I get into agreement with your promises of what you say about me. By the Lion's Mane, Let this be so.

The True Sign of Maturity

[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment. Like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life. You have the skills that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that the skills have to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level. Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

You Get What You Think

“The fears ….. will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.” (Proverbs 10:14 NLT) Our life will always move to what we think about most, which is why it is so important to guard your mind. If you are not careful you can think about only negative things and you become a negative person. Have you ever been around that person who only has the news channel on in their house? They are always talking about how bad things are, how things just seem to be getting worse, the world is coming to an end. That person over time, if you take notice, will become a very cynical, negative person. Why? They were moving toward what they were watching and thinking about.  We also know those people who let their fears take hold of their life, “My car is going to break down this week, and I just know it”or“I knew we wouldn’t be able to go on that vacation, I just knew I would get downsized.” What happened? Your fears were fulfilled. ...
