Today’s Living Word – Family

4–6 minutes

Our Lord Jesus Christ speaks prophecy:

Love is the foundation of all new life. Families begin in love. Children are raised in loving care and instruction. You are called to my family with love and care also. Reach out to the others in our family and care for them. Do all I inspire with tenderness and kindness. Each child in our family is precious and all need love and encouragement. 

A new day is dawning. One that will be filled with many treasures and blessings. Not all will receive them and not all will have the same gifts or in the same measure. ”The faithful shall abound with blessings”, and not all are faithful and obedient. Seek to serve in love. Seek to lift up and promote your fellow family members my brethren.

We are of the same spirit, the same body and of the same mind. Be in me and receive my words each day to strengthen and to guide. Trust not man’s wisdom nor lean to his understanding nor your own. Turn from the news and commentaries of the world, and listen to me your Lord Christ. I am with you and in you at all times. I promised to be in you until the ends of the earth. Stay with me and feed your spirit with good fruits of love and righteousness. From the heart the mouth speaks. What you have put inside of you is what will overflow to others. So drink of me, that you are flowing with my pure living waters. Let my spirit cleanse you of all unrighteousness and filter out the darkness and contamination of the world. 

Do not allow contamination in, nor seek to learn of men whom you know not, nor allow thoughts of darkness to linger in your minds. Control what you allow in and be diligent to keep your thoughts holy as I am holy. I will alert you to dangerous input and you can sort good from evil. Obey out of a pure heart, a loving heart. As you are clean and sanctified you can help others to walk in the light and become beacons of truth.

Today’s Written Word

Ephesians 3:14 – 21

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Of 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 by his Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Romans 12:4,5For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Luke 6:45“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

A Word of Encouragement

We are called to the body of Christ, and he instructs us to encourage and uplift one another (I Thes 3:2). Especially in difficult times, it is important to be speaking words of health, wholeness and joy. We do not “eat from the devils table”, but God’s. Meaning, we fill our hearts and minds with the truth of the scriptures and then when we are pressured and adversity strikes, our mouths bring forth comfort, strength and edification. We are positive examples to our children and others in the family of God. The best preparation for positive success in our conversations is to get filled up with the word.

An Action Item

What was the last thing that caused you anger, frustration or a feeling of hopelessness? Let’s find the verses in God’s word and shine some truth on it. God’s word works!

Eph.4:26 Be angry and sin not, Eph.4:32 and be ye kind. . . .

Matt. 28:20 Never hopeless, Christ is with us always.

Victories and Blessings

Another great Bible study on Thursday night! John taught on the nine manifestations, or operations of the spirit from I Corinthians 12. God’s word is powerful and we are gaining ground on exactly how to apply it and get His power released. One woman manifested speaking in tongues out loud and with boldness! Praise God for He is always good and faithful. If you have a desire or questions, we are here to help each other!

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