WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LOWLY AND MEEK

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

April 2, 2024 – 04/02/2024
4 – Creation and Things That Are Made
2 – A Faithful Witness and Being Set Apart

Ephesians 4:2 (NKJV) With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LOWLY AND MEEK

Lowliness means to be humble in station, condition, or nature. Meekness means the quality of being patient or quiet in nature. You have a perfect example in King Jesus on what walking “with all lowliness and meekness” looks like.

Following King Jesus’ example is what you, as a Christian, are called to do and be to all the people you meet. You never know who is watching you and you want them to only see the Glory of God shining through you with your actions and words.

I completely understand the struggle you have at times with walking in lowliness and meekness, especially when I am face-to-face with some Cartel punk who has been abusing a child by selling them as a sex slave!

I always must remind myself that Jesus faced horrendous conditions during His time on this Earth, yet He still kept His cool. I encourage you to remind yourself about Jesus’ walk whenever you are faced with something that goes against all you believe in.

I want to remind you that you carry the Holy Spirit within you and in those times of weakness, rely on the Dunamis power of the Holy Spirit to help you still react in love toward the person or people you meet.

You got this!!

Declaration: I declare that I will walk in lowliness and meekness just as King Jesus has done. I will remind myself of how King Jesus handled intense and horrendous situations when I am facing my own. I will rely on the Holy Spirit Dunamis power to help me react as Jesus had when faced with these situations.

STAND FAST IN THE LORD

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

April 1, 2024 – 04/01/2024
4 – Creation and Things That Are Made
1 – Unity

Philippians 4:1 (NKJV) Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

STAND FAST IN THE LORD

Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV) 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

God expects you to be an overcomer through Him in this world because this is not your home; your home and destiny are in heaven. You are in a war and have an adversary fighting against God’s will and purpose for your life. Take heart! With God, you can prevail!

John 16:33 (NIV): “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Brothers and Sisters, you need to be empowered by God and have fresh revelation-knowledge and wisdom to be free from the schemes of the enemy. When you have done all you need to do – you are to stand fast in the Lord!

Declaration: I will trust the Lord because He alone holds my future in His hands. I will prevail over the enemy because my Lord holds all power over him and the principalities of this world.

EVERLASTING LOVE

 

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

March 31, 2024 – 03/31/2024

31 – Offspring

Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”

EVERLASTING LOVE

God is so faithful! When I read Jeremiah 31:3, I am reminded of the song by Revere called Everlasting Love. This song sings of God’s goodness and His everlasting love for us. How amazing is it that God loves you so much that He draws you to Him?
 
Just as God has everlasting love for you, He wants you to have everlasting love for your brothers and sisters in Christ and all those who are lost. Even your enemies! How crazy is that! With God, it is not crazy at all. You are called to love all in your walk with King Jesus.
 
When you think of those you love, who comes to your mind? Your spouse, your children, your family, your friends. What about your enemies? No matter how much you struggle with an offense, you are called to forgive and love those who have offended you.
 
We all struggle with offense occasionally, but the Lord does not want you to live in offense and lose His incredible blessings for your life! I want to encourage you to work at forgiving all those who have offended you. That doesn’t mean you have to become best friends, but forgiveness is for you and me, not the offender. Don’t keep offense from killing your love, and I double-dog dare you to forgive all offenses and hand them over to King Jesus and see how much your everlasting love will grow and grow throughout your walk with King Jesus.
 
Declaration: I will forgive those who offend me because King Jesus does not want me to sit in that world. I will share God’s everlasting love for me with others I meet and walk out my life with an everlasting love for others.

WHEN TROUBLE CALLS

30 – Acts of Redemption and Accomplishing Priestly Service

Proverbs 3:30 (NKJV) Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

WHEN TROUBLE CALLS

Hello My Friends! Let me ask you a question – have you ever experienced someone you know or do not know getting into your face for no reason? Man, I have! As a Pastor, I will get the occasional person who wants to confront me, at least I have in the past; now I have security cut them off before they try to start something with me. Amen!

Proverbs 3:30 means just that; it tells you not to be the person getting into someone’s face if they haven’t done anything to you. Just because you are a rude dude in a crude mood (or dudette) does not give you the right to engage with someone who has not caused your mood. God doesn’t like petty people.

We are all co-heirs with King Jesus, and we need to treat each other with grace any time we interact with others. We are expected to act more like heaven than like hell. Amen.

When you walk in the fear of the Lord and keep that deep connection with God by reading His Word, you will find yourself in a better mood, even feeling joyful because that is who God is. He is joy, kindness, mercy, love, and so much more to you! Try to always find God in people, not just the good, but find God in them. So, when you look at them, you look at them through His supernatural sight and not your own natural sight.

Psalm 111:10 says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It takes the fear of the Lord and plenty of wisdom to know which battlefield belongs to you. So, unless God gives you the orders to engage someone, try not to do it and love everyone like Jesus does, as you meet them. You never know when your kind word to someone will activate that person’s love for King Jesus.

Declaration: I will always look for God in the people I meet. I will walk in fear of the Lord and read His Word to gain wisdom to know when and how to act toward others.

BLESSED ASSURANCE

Galatians 3:29 (NKJV) And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

BLESSED ASSURANCE

My friends, as I sit here pondering Galatians 3:29, I focus on the Word’s promise. I remember not so long ago when somebody shook their hand, gave their word, or put their name upon something; you could count on it. Even though these days are long gone, where covenant mentality only lasts if it’s suitable for the one making the promise.

There is One who is unchanging and unwavering! God’s Word stays true after all these ages. His faithfulness is not based on your faithfulness; your faithfulness is rooted in His Faithfulness. His covenant promises are sure. My Blessed Assurance is in Christ alone. He stands by His Word, for He is the Word. 

In Romans 6:23 (NKJV), He promises, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Have you received His gift?

In Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV), The Lord himself “goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take a breath; He’s right there with you.

In John 16:33 (NKJV), The Lord says, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” You don’t run to Victory; in Him, you run in Victory.

Friends, if ever there was a time to be in the Word studying and knowing King Jesus and His promises concerning you, it’s now! May you walk in the blessed assurance that Jesus is yours.

Declaration: Heavenly Father, Your Word says that You delight in me. (Psalms 147:11) You are never disappointed in my failures. Because You love, convict, correct, and train me in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). You think good thoughts toward me. I have called on Your name and sought You with my whole heart. You have led me out of the captivity of sin and death. (Jeremiah 29:11-14). You have placed Your Holy Spirit in me as a deposit guaranteeing we will be together for eternity (Ephesians 1:14).

A LESSON OF REDEMPTION

28 – Times and Seasons

Galatians 3:28 (NKJV) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

A LESSON OF REDEMPTION

Redemption is a big deal to King Jesus. When something is a big deal to Him, it is a big deal to me. The Lord gave me the idea of redemption and timelines, so I wrote my book, Redeeming Your Timeline.
 
Below are parts of my prayer card for redeeming your timeline that I want to share with you today:
 
Jesus, you are the creator of time. It is your way of keeping everything from happening at once and is subject to you. I thank you that you created time for extraordinary acts of redemption. You know the end from the beginning – you see it all from eternity.
 
Lord, I ask that you go back into my timeline. Please go back and redeem me by applying the blood of Jesus to all my past hurts and trauma. I declare a new beginning over my past hurts and trauma that has defined me.
 
I proclaim redemption, restoration, and restitution over the past hurts and trauma and break off all unforgiveness, curses, and iniquities that sprung up as a result. Lord, I forgive and release those who wronged me and ask you to cut out any bitter root in my heart.
 
In 2 Corinthians 5:16-19, God instructs us not to view others according to the flesh but through the redemptive eyes of the finished work of our Lord Jesus. God reminds us of the metamorphosis that happens in Christ.
 
2 Corinthians 5:16-19 (NKJV) 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
 
You should look for the redemptive work that Jesus has done for you and remember the lessons the Lord teaches you as you delve into His word.
 
Redemption is beautiful because our redeemer is beautiful. REDEMPTION CHANGES EVERYTHING. NOT JUST OVER TIME BUT FOR ALL TIME. 
 
Declaration: I am a new creation through Jesus Christ because He willingly shed His blood for my redemption. I will focus on what is before me, not what is behind me. I have a new beginning, and I thank God for giving His only Son to die for my sins.

THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD

27 – Things Unveiled and Revealed in God’s Presence / Light of Truth
 
Ezekiel 3:27 (NKJV) But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD

Do you have a new ear to hear the Lord God this year? This is the year of the Malchus Miracle, where Jesus restored Malchus’ ear after Peter cut it off in Luke 22:50-51 (NKJV) 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.
 
The Lord God is speaking to us differently this year, and we must have new ears to hear and heed His words. God does not play around with us humans. If we are messing up, He is being a good Father and is disciplining us to ensure we stay walking in the fear of the Lord.
 
This is the year when the Lord God unveils and reveals His truths to you. Are you reading to turn your ears to God when you read, “Thus says the Lord God?” God will guide you and lead you in His Truth. As He teaches you, you are asked to go out and be the light of truth to others, especially those lost or living in the rebellious house.
 
Keep your ears turned toward the Lord God and give Him an immediately any time He asks you to do something that will expand His Kingdom and His Will for your life and for others who are also walking in the fear of the Lord.
 
Declaration: This year, I will have a new ear to hear what the Lord God has commanded me to do. I will pay close attention when I hear the phrase, “Thus says the Lord,” my response will be an ‘immediately’ for Him when He asks for me to go and expand His Kingdom.

Proverbs 3:26 (NKJV) For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

CONFIDENCE IN KING JESUS

Only when you place your trust in King Jesus and let Him rule and reign in your life can you live in peace. We are confident that He is in control. You know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and those who are called according to His purpose.
 
You will not be subject to terror, for it will not terrify you because you have overcome fear with the blood of Christ. Nor will the disrespectful be able to push you aside because God is your confidence in times of crisis, keeping your heart at rest in every situation. The fear of the Lord is strong confidence, and His children shall have a place of refuge.
 
Proverbs 14:16 (NKJV) A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self-confident.
 
Psalm 91:3 (NKJV) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
 
Psalm 91:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most-High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.
 
Declaration: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the promise of 1 Samuel 2:9 (NKJV) He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. “For by strength no man shall prevail.” Father, I will be vigilant to discern and recognize the enemy’s attacks. I am blessed and dressed in Your armor. I am a warrior and a threat to the enemy. I am fully awake and will not be deceived. Thank You, Jesus, for loving me; I have a yes in my spirit. Here I am, send me!

HAS YOUR EAGLE LANDED?

25 – Grace For Grace

Lamentations 3:25 (NKJV) The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

HAS YOUR EAGLE LANDED?

Hello, my friends. Do you also struggle with being still?
 
Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
 
I want to tell you a story I heard once upon a time. Some friends were fishing when they spotted something floating in the water ahead of them. To their surprise, they found an eagle floating in the open sound. The friends brought the boat a couple of feet away from him. One of them had a camera and captured several unbelievable shots of this majestic American icon looking at him curiously as he stared back at the eagle the same way. They became concerned because the eagle was staring at them and appeared somewhat annoyed. They called for help for what seemed to be a distressed eagle. However, as the friends positioned their boat 20 to 30 feet away, the eagle began swimming, making his way to shore.
 
It’s a crazy true story that was told to me once upon a time, and as I sat here thinking about waiting on the Lord, I consider the times He has actively been working on me in trusting as He says to me, “Be still my child, Stay till I let loose.” Sometimes, you may feel the eagle you are waiting to mount up on has been grounded. You can trust in the Lord’s timing. His timing is perfect. Enjoy those moments of quietness as you press into His presence. You won’t be disappointed. Fix your gaze upon Him, for you can rest assured His gaze is on you.
 
Declaration: Father, I am reminded in Psalms 139 that You are so intimately aware of me. You read my heart like an open book and know my doubts and fears. You know my journey because You have gone ahead and cleared the path. Father, You’ve gone into my future; even though it’s unknown to me, it’s evident to you. I trust You; I will seek You and press into Your presence. I trust Your timing.

THE BENEFITS OF REDEMPTION

 

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

  3 – Perfect Completion
24 – Perfect Government Made Manifest

Romans 3:24 (NKJV): Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

THE BENEFITS OF REDEMPTION

Christ’s Redemption has freed us from guilt, “justified freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus.” Redemption declares we are worthy of the gifts, rewards, and benefits of being Holy.
 
I felt the Lord say to me as I was struggling against sin one day, “Every time you say no to your flesh, you are saying to me, ‘I love you more.’” This motivated me to declare my love to Him through my choice to obey Him in even the smallest places. When we genuinely love Him, it will propel us to follow Him. The good news is that Jesus works in us to bring us to this place.
 
This is what He did with Peter when he had failed Jesus. Of course, Peter had denied the Lord. Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him and will give his life for Him. Peter is destroyed and riddled with guilt in these moments. He has been uncovered and now knows his weakness and vulnerability. He answers that he fondly feels for Jesus but knows he couldn’t give his life for Him. This had been manifested just a few hours earlier. Not only does Peter know this, but everyone else does as well. Jesus then makes a startling statement in John 21:18-19. He promises Peter that before the process is done, He will be willing and able to give His life for Jesus without reservation.
 
It’s easy, my friends, to look at Judas with disgust because of his betrayal. Have you ever been betrayed? Have you ever betrayed someone? It frustrates us when we see the warrior Peter put to the test 3 times, then cave to fear and deny that he has any knowledge of Jesus. Have you ever been denied? Have you ever denied someone? Even as I type this, I feel the aching in my beloved Lord’s heart for you to know of His redemptive power! He can go into your timeline and bring Redemption!
 
Declaration: Heavenly Father, I thank You for sending Redemption unto Your people: You have commanded Your covenant forever. Father, I thank You that in Redemption You bring eternal life, forgiveness of my sins, righteousness, freedom from the law’s curse, freedom from accusation, and adoption into Your family. I am Yours, and You are mine!
