I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth (Ps121: 1-2NIV)
 
It amazes me that there are so many times in my life where I am like I need help. Whether it’s getting my life together, making life changing decisions, or just dealing with other people I always scream HELP!! And if you are like me, Daddy is the last person you go to when you need help. You may call a friend, sibling, parent, mentor, co-worker… Anybody but Daddy and why is this? The Psalmist ask the question where does my help come from then he answers:”It comes  from the LORD the maker of the heaven and earth.” Well that makes sense… Why are we asking for help from people who didn’t even create the situation or solution to what we need help with. Why are we on goggle or bing look for the answer or solution to the situation, when we can easily access the Father? Here is my answer to that question, because Daddy will give us an answer we don’t want to hear. When we ask for help many times we are in desperate need to get an answer or a resolution to the situation. We don’t want to deal with a process or a waiting period, waiting may be the thing we need help with so why give me the lesson on waiting? But that’s Daddy, he want’s us to learn the process of his help and this may mean waiting, or going through various steps. It may mean do something out of our comfort zone or even something we know nothing about. It may simple mean trusting him knowing that wherever he leads or tells us to do will get us to a place of being rescued. We must realize that when we seek help from anything or any one other than Daddy we are setting ourselves up for failure, because we are depending on something or someone that can’t create help. The are giving us help based on experience or due to the experience of other sources that have dealt with similar or same situations, but is is not accurate help.  Daddy supplies help that he may have to create or help that may not be visible to the the nature eye.
 
Prayer:  Daddy right now we need your help! We know that many times when we ask for help we seek the help of others or things, but today Daddy we seek your help. We lift our heads and eyes to heaven looking up to you, seeking your presence and ready to receive your wisdom. We surrender our cry for help to you. Daddy help us to wait, help us through the steps, help us through the process, give us the confidence to hold our heads up when we are feeling down. Help us to trust you more, increase our faith, open our hearts to receive your instructions, and help us to lean and depend on you and you alone.  Help us to hear your voice, help us to recognize your presence in difficult and chaotic times. Daddy today we scream HELP US DADDY!!! In Jesus Name. AMEN

The Three C’s

Good Morning Daddy! It’s been a while since we had a breakfast date. So glad that you are always available to have breakfast with me no matter how I treat you with my time. (SMH). Daddy I have been thinking about some things that I thought were good and now that I look at them I see they weren’t what I thought. I hear you daughter please go on and speak your soul… So Daddy I was looking at my life. I mean really looking at my life and how it is going. I don’t feel the attacks of the enemy, things are flowing in my life like I desire, and I feel peace. Now Daddy I am thinking to myself this is a great thing I mean a peaceful thing. Then I ready a devotion that shock my peace. It said: “If you are at a place of rest, then you can guarantee that your life has become comfortable. If you are comfortable you can bet that you  have surely rest in the arms of contentment, and if you rest in contentment, then complacency is the wedding band you wear. If you are are experiencing these three Cs then rest assure you have cause yourself from not growing to another level. Never marry the three Cs just enjoy them in the moment of preparation for your new promotion.” Daddy I read this thought over and over again trying to figure out why I kept getting this negative vibe. Then it dawn on me… I am married to the three Cs and I am not looking to grow. I like this place of peace, I like knowing what’s going on, that I can control or at least be able to handle life now. Daddy I’m good. So I thought….Then I realize this is uncomfortable. Being comfortable is uncomfortable….Daddy how is this so. How can being comfortable, resting in peace, being secure that life is life, and being productive in my box, be bad?????? Daddy help me understand this….. Daughter it is truly simple. If you are comfortable where do we get the chance to have discussion like this. Comfort equals your will and leaves no room for my will, communicating with me, or even allow me to take you to another level of trust in our relationship. You begin to trust me where you want to trust me and you create a routine in our relationship. There is no room for my supernatural to manifest, I can’t perform an miracles in your life, or grant you greater favor. When you become content you limited the anointing on your life. You say to me, Daddy that’s enough I don’t want to be refreshed, revived, or restored, don’t make me over,  as a matter of fact the grace and mercy you give me daily is good enough, I don’t particularly care for wisdom or even the fact that you want to use me outside of what I have already experience… I think my testimony is great as it is. I don’t feel like I need to build the kingdom any more, I don’t mind being selfish, I know it’s not about me and someone is depending on me to get through this moment, but Daddy you can find someone else.  And daughter do you know that complacency is the key to an open door for the enemy. If you are complacent you say to me, Daddy thanks for the protection this is enough. I know you calm the storm in my life last time but I can handle this one on my own. You limit me  and our relationship. You will not be able to see how I can be Jehovah Jireh, (your provider)  Jehovah Nissi (your banner of victory), Jehovah Rapha (your healer),  and Jehovah Shalom (your peace)… You will never know me as “I AM.” You say to me that the salvation of my son is good enough for you and you want no more to do with me. Conversations like this one is not necessary because I  can just read your word and get the answers, I don’t need a relationship with you GOD. You say to me you don’t want the intimacy we share, you want me to be Lord and  you Servant, nothing more or nothing less. Although your flesh dwells in the assurance of comfort, lives in the presence of contentment, and embraces complacency; these three Cs are unhealthy for your spirit man. They cause your spirit man to die and your flesh to rise, they open the opportunity  for the enemy to do whatever to you, whenever he wants to, and it is a no to my will and a yes to yours. So Daughter how do you feel about comfort, contentment,and complacency? Daddy not so good… Now daughter, know that I want you to experience comfort, but in me, I want you to be content that I am…”I AM” and that’s greater than anything you could be, and complacent  in the fact that my son is the true access that you need to get to me, and my Holy Spirit has direct instructions for you to do the will that I desire for you daily. Daughter, now that you know what the three Cs can do to our relationship what do you choose? How comfortable, content, and complacent are you? Daddy I am not. I want to just dwell, rest, and be assure that you are my comfort, contentment, and I am secure that I will always be complacent with you…Because in reality there is no complacency in you… You are always creating something new. Daughter you are so right, and right now I’m about to create a new thing in you starting with your heart…. I love you and thank you for inviting me to breakfast, I always look forward to spending time with you. Hope we can do this more often.

Daddy

Lost Courage

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:9 ESV)

As I was reading the above verse I heard the Holy Spirit say don’t lose courage. So many times we forget how valuable we are to Daddy that he has to command us back to our proper place. He tells Joshua “HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU?” Now to some that would be a question and even in this verse there is a question mark behind it. But it’s not really a questions it’s a reminder to us and Joshua…The reminder that Daddy has command over us and his command holds power not the actions, plans, or even the plots of the enemy or our fleshly response. After he reminds Joshua he give the “Do Not Be” instructions do not be frightened, do not be dismayed, and then he give us that reminder again “For the LORD your GOD  (Your Daddy) is with you wherever you go.” That’s it. DADDY is with you no matter what level, season, situation, circumstance, decision, movement, response, action, disappointment, hurt, or unknown DADDY, is there and he has give you the courage to respond and overcome whatever you may be going through. Never lose courage! You have something greater on your side that the world has no authority over. As we continue this journey call life know that you have been equipped with all the tools that you need to be success as sons and daughters of Daddy. There is nothing that can conquer us in the courage and presence of our Daddy.

Prayer: Daddy so many times we find ourselves lost in the lack of courage because all we see and feel is defeat. But Daddy you have reminded us that we are commanded by your words to be strong and courageous, not frightened or dismayed by anything or anyone. We rest in your commandment to have courage and we know that in you we win. We will never look at life the same. We will never take on the heart of the defeated, but he heart of the victor, rejoicing in the glory of you presence and the assurance of your love. We realize that in hopeless moments our response is not that of depression and defense, but that of surrendering. So Daddy we surrendering our discouraged moments to you, we let go of  our defeated moments, we say good-bye to our way and we lean only to the understanding of word and the wisdom of your ways. In Jesus Name. AMEN!

And I’m Grateful

16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus  (1Thess 5:16-18). It’s amazing how we go through everyday life wanting nothing but happiness in a world that glamorized death, destruction, and disappointment. But Daddy tells us in his word that no matter what issues the world presents that we should always be happy, never leaving our prayer post, and most importantly being thankful no matter what the circumstances. Now the last part of this scripture is hard for me. Because there are times in my life where I am looking for the strength to say thank you beyond the gratitude of life and breathe. I know what you are saying… “That is good in itself, and it is, but Daddy’s word says be THANKFUL in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES…. Whew!!! That’s deep that means even if you are in the hospital with tubes all in your body to the point you can’t talk or breathe on your own without the assistance of machines, but you are aware of your surrounds, be thankful. Even if you are in the mist of a divorce and your house is tore up from the floor up and you feel like you are about to loose your mind.. Be THANKFUL! If you just lost a love one, or your heart has been broken, or you just in a place that don’t know you are of value any more…. Guess what Be Thankful! Now Daddy is so awesome that he will take our thanksgiving and turns it into his glory, which will produce his promises, and manifest our blessings. Just one of his many formulas for us to live by. So here’s  how the formula of Thanksgiving goes: Joy+ Never Stop praying+Thanksgiving in ALL things  and circumstances =GOD’s glory which translates to your peace, your blessings, your answers, your healing, your forgiveness, and so forth. Seems pretty simple to me ! It’s hard to give thanks when your flesh is the loudest voice you hear in the mist of “the circumstance,” but when you are reminded of Daddy’s track record in your life I am assured that a heart of gratitude can silent your flesh.

Prayer: Daddy this world reflects only on the things that say you are not real or the issues of destructions, depression, and disappointment, but as your children we will not meditate on what the world shows but what you have  and are telling us, and that’s to have a heart of thanksgiving. Today daddy we lay down everything at your feet. We lay down the circumstances that say that giving you thanks will not change anything, we lay down the things that keep us from our joy in you, telling us that it’s not worth praying about, and we say Daddy thank you! Thank you for breathe in our body, for the ability to know you as our Daddy and not just our GOD, for you drawing near to us as we draw near to you. Daddy thank you for being beyond what we need into what we couldn’t even think of. We thank you in all circumstances, not yielding to our flesh, but the guidance, voice, and heart of you through your Holy Spirit.  We thank you for the formula of thanksgiving that you have given us and we will use it to remind us that telling you thank you will only yield greatness for and in our lives. In JESUS Name! AMEN

1Cor9:22-23 22 Among the weak in faith I become weak like one of them, in order to win them. So I become all things to all people, that I may save some of them by whatever means are possible. 23 All this I do for the gospel’s sake, in order to share in its blessings. (GNT) I love this scripture because it really speaks to the heart of knowing that Daddy is willing to be whatever he needs be to win your heart. In this scripture we see him pursue the heart of his children by placing himself in their shoes. Isn’t it like Daddy to go beyond just to show that he loves us? What a great Daddy that we have that he is willing to place himself in whatever position we are in so that we can win. What an act of pure selflessness.

Prayer: Daddy thank you that you love us so much that you are willing to place yourself where we are just to show your love towards us. That you are willing to come to our level that we may obtain and understand your love and benefit from the value of your selflessness. We thank you that in our weakness you become weak so that we may gain strength, thank you that you are willing to give us the blessing of your gospel no matter what level we may be on. Thank you that you are willing to go to any lengths to save us and establish a relationship with us In JESUS name. AMEN

I Won’t Argue Any More

Psalms 119:114 You are my defender and protector;I put my hope in your promise. Who is defending you? Who argues your case? If you say me then you have told Daddy that his defense is not good enough. Stop trying to defend what you truly don’t understand. Just because people said you are out of order, not in compliance, or crazy for believing. You don’t have to defend GOD he can do that himself and you don’t have to defend you he will do that for you too. Today rest in the hope that GOD has given you and allow Daddy to settle all argument concerning you, trust me can do it better and more effectively than you every could think or image to do it.

Prayer: Daddy today we lay every argument against us at your feet to defend. We know there are no amount of words that can bring clarity or justice to the arguments that are being brought up against us by the enemy and people, but we do know that in you there is hope and defense. Daddy no longer will we take over and do the job your didn’t call us to do. Today day we declare: no defense, no dialog, no distractions. We will no longer become engaged in conversations that you are growing us in and pruning in. You are our defender and protector and in you we take refuge. In Jesus Name. AMEN
