The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom;they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done. NIV Isaiah 3:9-11
Today's Devotional
Heavenly Father we know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God. Please open our eyes and help us to open the the eyes of other so that we are not deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of us were. But we were washed, we were sanctified, we were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Please give us boldness to speak and teach the truth to those who are being lead astray by Satan. In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen. (1 Corinthians 6)
Verse - Ephesians 4:1-6 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unit of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. NKJV
Devotional A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near your. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation. Psalm 91
Verse - Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. NKJV
Devotional We are to imitate God as a child does his own father. If a child imitates his father, he will walk like him, talk like him and pattern his every move after him. We should do no less after our Father, God.
When you study the life of Jesus you find several important facts that caused Him to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. These are a few:
1. He spent much time in prayer, but He never prayed the problem, He prayed the answer - what God said is the answer.
2. He spoke accurately, never crooked speech. His conversation always consisted of what God said.
3. He always spoke the ends results, not the problem. Never - did He confess present circumstances. He spoke the desired results.
4. He used the written Word to defeat Satan.
THE WORD OF GOD CONCEIVED IN THE HEART, FORMED BY THE TONGUE, AND SPOKEN OUT OF THE MOUTH IS CREATIVE POWER.
By Charles Capps - God's Creative Power
Verse - Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and n the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against powers, against the rules of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. NKJV
Devotional Father You tells us repeatedly through Your word what must be done in order for us to combat the many evil spirits in this world that are used specifically to tear us to the ground, depress us and keep us in bondage away from the Light that only You can provide. You tell us Lord, My people perish from lack of knowledge! I am asking You Father in Jesus name to remove the blinders that have been put in place to block Your light and discount Your holy power for all of us to overcome the darkness in this world. Help us to focus on Jesus, the true light that never diminishes. Amen
Verse - Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Devotional Father give me the humbleness to walk worthy of the calling with which You have called me with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with everyone in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as I was called in one hope of my calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and You Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all. Amen
Verse - Ephesians 4:11-15 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, CHRIST. NKJV
Devotional O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thoughts afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid You hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it. I love you Father. Amen.
Verse - Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. NKJV
Devotional Heavenly Father I have girded my waist with truth, my breastplate is of righteousness, and my feet are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace and I have taken the shield of faith with which I quench all the attacks of satan. My helmet of salvation and my sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God and I pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. Praise God, Praise God, Praise God, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!!
Verse - Ephesians 5:8-11 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
Devotional Heavenly Father I want to be a child of the Light. Reveal to me what is acceptable to You and is goodness, righteousness and full of Your truth Lord, not mans truth. Give me the strength and courage to expose the works of darkness, regardless as to who may be instrumental in creating them. I want your blessing Father and I want to be acceptable to You according to Your terms, not acceptable to the world or family or friends who are worldly and not living and acting according to Your will. In Jesus precious name I pray, Amen
Verse - Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. NKJV
Devotional Heavenly Father help me to not ignore these issues of the heart because they will grieve the Holy Spirit and my growth will be stunted. Bitterness is a refusal to let go of an old wound or forgive a past wrong. Wrath is a stronghold of resentment with the hope to gain revenge. Anger is exasperation, a quick explosive outburst or a slow burn of indignation toward someone. Evil speaking are words that tear down, the opposite of edifying someone, it is malicious and hurtful. Clamor is a sudden outburst over nothing, to cause a scene rather than trying to help or heal. Malice is the desire to see someone else suffer, it is a devilish spirit and it's usually hidden deep within the heart. Putting these things away from us is a process and it is a matter of growth that takes time. At times, we may fail at ridding ourselves of these evils. But if we quickly repent, and commit to making things right with the person, over time these issues will fade away. Only with Your help Heavenly Father can I be a pure Christian, please guide me. In Jesus Precious name, Amen
Verse - Ephesians 4:14-15 So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). AMP
Devotional Heavenly Father, help me to understand that those who use gossip, slander, fraud, manipulation, cunning, craftiness, deception and underhandedness are Your rebellious children. They haven't allowed God's grace to do a work in them. Give me the strength to not react to them in childish ways, for you do not want me to react with childishness. Help me to view these as opportunities to become more Christlike, respond softly, with a meek spirit and forgive those who spitefully use me. In Jesus precious name I pray.
Verse - Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands
the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Verse - Ephesians 1:3-4 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: 4 even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love ASV
Verse - Ephesians 5:4-5 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a man is an idolater - has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Verse - Ephesians 5:22-24 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.NKJV

Verse - Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. 9 Not by works, so that no one can boast. NIV
Verse - Ephesians 1:18-20 18 I pray also 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 the saints, 19 and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, 20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised him from the dead and seated him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, NIV
Verse - Ephesians 5:1-2 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. NKJV
