Possessing The Promised Land - Part 8

Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors. Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking...

“Rebuke your brother if he sins and forgive him if he is sorry. Even if he wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, forgive him” Luke 17:4

People love to rebuke, correct and put others “in their place.” However, in doing so, you elevate yourself above them and will find yourself in “hot water” with God.

All have sinned. No one is exempt. God forgave you when you asked. You are to forgive others in like manner.

Firm Foundation - Free to be Free

Free to be Free 

Reading the book of James, a few verses caught my eye regarding our love walk in Christ. I heard an admonition in my spirit for this devotional. 

The message was simple:

"Let go of grudges and hurts. Don't carry them over another day. 
It is destructive to your health and well-being."

As I pondered those things, examining my heart and reading James, the first verse in chapter two stood out.

"My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism."

The text gives the example of catering to those who are rich and shunning those who aren't.

James goes on to say in verses 8-10:

"If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, 'Love your neighbor as yourself' you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking it all."

It's favoritism when we say we love some but harbor grudges...

Overcoming Toxic Relationships

EPIC CONQUERORS PODCAST:

OVERCOMING TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS - EPISODE 1


I remember my dad saying to me: “ Show me your friends and I will tell you your future, son”


“Expel the wicked person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:13
Sometimes God takes people out of your life for a reason. We hang on for dear life to people that are holding us back. But God tells us, "It's time to grow and walk into that which I have for you but you’re stuck hanging with the bad crowd or in a toxic relationship."
The right people will lift you and inspire you. The wrong people will have a negative influence in your life. The people we choose to surround ourselves with are important to our spiritual health.
I remember my dad saying to me: “ Show me your friends and I will tell you your future, son” Looking back on my life and reflecting on the zig zag path that got me to this point in time, I now see with clarity, the truth in that statement. WOW!
