Today’s Living Word – Leaders

5–7 minutes

The all-knowing God speaks prophecy to His children:

Today is a new day, one that begins in quiet and ends with a shout. What will you say to the mockers when all is done; when every word spoken has come to pass? Will you remind them of what I said and the accuracy of my prophets? Or will you chide and reprove them for causing you pain? Do not do so my children, for they have been lost in unbelief. The adversary is a wily opponent who is aggressive in countering my every word and lying against my people and my words.

Move on now. Move forward into your futures, the ones I have planned for you. Stand in the power and position you have in my Body of Christ. Are you called to teach? Start teaching. Do you have the office of an apostle or an evangelist? Begin to release my word to all who will hear. Come to me and ask what I would have you do. Ask your Lord Christ to lead you each day in doing my will. Help those with tender hearts that are seeking. Help them to see me and find answers and hope. Reach out in love and compassion to all. Invite all so they may have an opportunity to believe and choose everlasting life.

YOU are my army of light. YOU are the voices and smiles and hands they can hear and see. The lost cannot hear me nor my Son. They cannot see the army of angels that I have sent to work upon the earth. Lead them to me by Christ. Speak of all he has done to redeem them from the sins of the world. Many are living under the rule and bondage of devils; many who are destined for heaven. Many who cannot break free without your help. They are your spiritual family members, in the eternal family. Treat them as your brothers and sisters even if they do not look like you. Extend an olive branch to those who hate you. Walk in spiritual purity. Give love where there is hatred. Give grace and mercy to those who deserve none. Forgive before your enemies do and lead mankind to repentance. YOU are the rulers of this earth. Rulers are leaders. Once you begin to lead, many will follow. Lead for me, your God. Lead them to my Christ by your example. Deliver them from destruction. Love them into accepting his love and mine. Lead in love.

Today’s Written Word

Shout: Jeramiah 25:30Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, H1959 as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

Zephaniah 3:14Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Romans 2:4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

A Word of Encouragement

God has called us to live for Him by walking in love and forgiveness. To understand that others who do not yet know him are limited by the evil that surrounds them. We are sent to speak for God, to minister for God and to bring light where many are sitting in darkness. He is sending us to reach out to those who are destined for heaven but are not yet connected to him by receiving Christ as their Lord. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father God, and we are the only ones the lost can see and hear. Let’s speak up!

An Action Item

God’s leading for us today is to move forward into the futures He has planned for each of us and to get busy doing what He asks us to do. To listen and obey Him and His Son Christ each day. Let’s endeavor to know and do God’s will for us each day, so we may reach those who are lost. Remember the distress and confusion we all suffered from before we accepted Christ? Let’s bring his deliverance to all who will hear.

Victories and Blessings

Last week one of our faithful women mentioned that she was having some very challenging conversations with her mother in law. We prayed together right then and thanked God for delivering her from the meanness she was attacking our friend with. Last night at fellowship I asked how things were going with her mother in law, and she said “she has been really nice!” Praise God for his goodness to us, and for being such a speedy worker 🙂

Please share some of your victories, blessings and prayer requests so others can rejoice and believe with you.
