Jesus Calling: November 11th
Do not let any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more My Power I place at your disposal. You seem to think that I empower you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality.I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly. The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Me for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual. Look to Me for all that you need, and watch to see what I will do. As your day, so shall your strength be.
RELATED SCRIPTURE:
Ephesians 1:18-20 (NIV)
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Additional insight regarding Ephesians 1:19,20: The world fears the power of the atom, yet we belong to the God of the universe, who not only created that atomic power but also raised Jesus Christ from the dead. God's incomparably great power is available to help you. Personal knowledge of Christ will change your life.
Additional insight regarding Ephesians 1:20-22: Having been raised from the dead, Christ is now the head of the church, the ultimate authority over the world. Jesus is the Messiah, God's anointed one, the one Israel longed for, the one who would set their broken world right. As Christians, we can be confident that God has won the final victory and is in control of everything. We need not fear any dictator or nation or even death or Satan himself. The contract has been signed and sealed; we are waiting just a short while for delivery. Paul says, in Romans 8:37-39, that nothing can separate us from God and his love.
Psalm 105:4 (NLT)
4 Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him.
Additional insight regarding Psalm 105:4-5: If God seems far away, persist in your search for him. God rewards those who sincerely look for him (Hebrews 11:6). Jesus promised "Every who seeks, finds" (Matthew 7:8). The writer suggested a valuable way to find God - become familiar with the way he has helped his people in the past. The Bible records the history of God's people. In searching its pages we will discover a loving God who is waiting for us to find him.
Deuteronomy 33:25 (NIV)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,
and your strength will equal your days.
Amen 😇 lord give me that strength I need it.
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏🏾 thanks 😊
ReplyDeleteLord Almighty, help me to remember you are always there for us, guiding us with your strength. Amen. 🙏🏽
ReplyDelete(23) Personal knowledge of Christ will change your life. Thank you for my salvation. You didn’t have to suffer for us, You Choose To. Thank you for your power and strength you give us each day.
ReplyDeleteThrough Gods word and obedience I receive the Holy Spirit inside me understanding, hearing, and feeling His loving mighty powers within me. It is through your thoughts and actions you will continue to seek those things above. Setting your mind above all sinful thoughts putting to death the old ways of life, letting the word of Christ richly dwell in you.
ReplyDeleteHow can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.
Psalm 119.9
Anyone can live a more godly lifestyle. One must take control of their own thoughts and actions to receive Gods true powers and blessings. The true acid test of our level of faith in God is in the amount of obedience we give. And remembering that you have died to your old life of sin.
Commit yourself to His ways and not your own in Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight.
May Gods grace and peace be with you. Loving the Lord thy God has never been better! His timing is always impeccable! Make your time His! Be selfless not selfish and watch how God works in your life today

Thank you for encouragement ❤️
DeleteThank you for your words of encouragement.
DeleteTHIS IS A NEW AGE BOOK. This is not Jesus speaking and is a demonic deception. Seek wisdom and insight through the Holy Spirit within. Examine your faith as Paul exhorts to see whether you are truly in the faith. Are you born again? Do you have fellowship with the Lord during prayer and when reading your Bible? Does the Holy Spirit open it up to you to understand it? Or are you simply a cultural Christian? Do you only have an intellectual faith or a saving faith. Don’t believe that since you were baptized as an infant or even later that this equates to being saved. Don’t believe that because you quoted a “sinner’s prayer” that this means you are saved. Have you placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord? Do you live for Him and others or for yourself? Does the Holy Spirit testify with your spirit that you are a child of God or are you basing this on what others tell you? If you don’t experience a relationship — actual fellowship — with God, this should cause you to pause and seriously evaluate your standing with Him.
DeleteGreat post
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteI think it should read “assess” the difficulties not “access” in the 4th sentence. Thank you for sharing this online. I have the book at home but it’s nice to pull it up any time of day.

ReplyDeleteMy God, My Rock! 🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏
ReplyDeleteThank you God
ReplyDeleteThank you for infusing me with your power my dearest Lord Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe timing of these passages and scriptures are grace filled. Each morning before I get out of bed I say thanks to God for another day, then I say one thing I’m grateful for and then my intention for the day. My intention was to listen to my heart more and let it speak to me. Then I read this mornings scripture, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened…”. Wow! Next I prayed that this country will calm down and not allow it to become a dictatorship, and I read this, “We need not fear any dictator or nation…”. God is always listening and answers our prayers if we seek. Thank you Lord for giving me what I need at the right time.
ReplyDeleteThank God for everything. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen and Thank God🙏🙏🙏
