DECIDE!

Let’s decide, with the help of the Holy Spirit, that 2023 will be a year that we will: “Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32 MSG) In 2023 let’s keep our eyes on the eternal and not the temporary: “So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temp

ENTER GOD'S PRESENCE BOLDLY!

Declare that 2023 will be the year that believers will believe they can come boldly to God and share what's on our hearts. Let this be a goal you set for this year, and then do everything possible to live it out. “Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. S

PRAY YOUR WAY THROUGH!

Let 2023 be the year you recognize just how much you need the Lord in every area of your life. “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I Am], He may give it to you.” (John 15:16 AMPC) God is there! He cares. He will help you. Pray. Praye

DAY 31 - 31 DAYS OF PROVERBS!

Read Proverbs 31 I read Proverbs 31 in the New Living Translation the Amplified Classic, and the Message. My thoughts on Proverbs 31: The first part starts out with wisdom given to king Solomon by his mother. Bathsheba. She gives warnings about the type of women to avoid so he wouldn't be destroyed. Not to make a fool of himself through strong drink as it dulls the senses and he may forget the law or apply it unjustly causing people who depend on him to be hurt. The use of wi

DAY 29 - 31 DAYS OF PROVERBS!

Read Proverbs 29. I read Proverbs 29 in the New Living Translation. My thoughts on Proverbs 29: Be open to constructive criticism. Don't harden your heart or you will be destroyed beyond recovery. A note of caution: Everyone can't speak into your life. Know their motives. While it may be constructive criticism it might not apply to you. Let Holy Spirit lead you. Destroyed - shâbar, to burst (literally or figuratively): —break (down, off, in pieces, up), broken (-hearted), bri

DAY 28 - 31 DAYS OF PROVERBS!

Read Proverbs 28 I read Proverbs 28 in the New Living Translation. My thoughts on Proverbs 28: The wicked flee when no one pursues them. Could it be guilt, fear of getting caught, judgment? The righteous are bold as lions. Why? Because we fear God, respect authority, and stay away from doing evil. "For civil authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is right and yo

Read Proverbs 27 I read Proverbs 27 in the New Living Translation. My thoughts on Proverbs 27: Live in the moment you're in. Tomorrow is not promised. While we might need to make plans always be ready to surrender them to the Lord. Don't miss what God is doing today because you're already focused on and walking in tomorrow. "We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps." (Proverbs 16:9 NLT) " Let others praise you. Don't brag about who you are or what you do. Just

Read Proverbs 26 I read Proverbs 26 from the New Living Translation and the Message. Fools, foolish behavior, and being lazy! Let's identify these traits so we can avoid them, in ourselves and in others: Honor is not associated with a fool. Honor - The esteem due or paid to worth; high estimation; A testimony of esteem; any expression of respect or of high estimation by words or actions; Dignity; exalted rank or place; distinction; Reputation; good name; Reputation; good name

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!

“It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit—depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].” (Deuteronomy 31:8 AMPC) In 2023 we can be assured that, as believers, God is with us, and He will not abandon us. No matter what is going on in our lives we can have this confidence, God is for me. Through every test we are never

My thoughts on Proverbs 25: Don't have a high opinion of yourself or make yourself out to be more than you are to impress people. Don't praise yourself, leave that to someone else. Be who you are and let your actions, how you carry yourself, speak to who you are. "Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips." (Proverbs 27:2 AMPC) "So

CHOICES AND DECISIONS!

“What delight comes to those who follow God’s ways! They won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. Their pleasure and passion is remaining true to the Word of “I Am,” meditating day and night in his true revelation of light.” (Psalm 1:1-2 TPT) As you continue setting goals for 2023 consider your choices, the decisions you make, how you make them. Psalms 1 is a reminder to believers about how to make choices and

Stay on your path with God. "Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long."

BUILDING FAITH!

One of the most important goals you can have for 2023 is to develop a stronger, more productive faith life. Everything God does for you, or requires from you, is grounded in faith. What you believe is what will manifest in your life. Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.” (Matthew 9:29 AMPC) The more you hear the Word the stronger your faith will become.

My thoughts on Proverbs 23: To really make sense of verse one I had to dig deeper into the meaning of some of the words. This verse reminds us to know who we are interacting with and to diligently consider how to handle them and the circumstances. We must have a plan. Pay attention to who you are interacting with.

Knowing who you are in Christ is the foundation for standing strong in the face of adversity. In your goals for 2023 include the "I Am's" in Christ and walk in them. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) I AM: Created in His image (Genesis 1:27) God’s masterpiece created with purpose to do great works for the Kingdom (Ephesians 2:10) Fearfully and wonderfully made (

Do everything you can to protect it.

If it impacts your thoughts, words, and actions in a negative way you need to stay away from it. We don't need to participate in every disagreement or argument that comes our way. Sometimes silence is the best response. Sometimes people don't want to understand or listen and there's nothing you can do to change that. "A [self-confident] fool

YOU CAN TRUST GOD'S TIMING!

In 2023 determine to make a quality decision to trust God's timing in everything you do. Your level of obedience will impact God’s timing in your life! Disobedience delays it while obedience contributes to your walking in His timing. Remember the children of Israel in the wilderness. Their disobedience not only delayed their walking in the promise it also caused some to never do so. “All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.” (Job 14:14b KJV) Waiting
