LIGHT WORD

LightWord: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” John 15:7 NKJV In life, we all have ups and downs. There are seasons that are more difficult than others, seasons of testing, trials and temptation where our character is being developed and our faith in God is being strengthened. Sometimes it can feel like you are taking two steps forward and three steps back. If we’re not careful, we’ll start thinking that life is always going to be this way, neglecting the truth of His plans for our lives. Even in the strong seasons, you’ll start looking for things to go wrong. God doesn’t want us to live life like a roller coaster. He wants to bring us to a place of stability where we remain strong in Him. Jesus said, “I am the vine. You are the branches. If you abide in Me, you will bear much fruit and your fruit will remain.” The word “remain” means “to be fixed, immovable, not affected by circumstances.” If you will just keep...

LightWord: “…Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea… and there was a great rain…” 1 Kings 18:44–45 Never pray without believing in the God who answers prayer. Whatever you desire this year according to the will of God, you will still acquire it. But you must pray with strong expectations, because prayer without expectation is praying in frustration. Faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. Elijah expected the rain, and God fulfilled his expectation. Where there is genuine expectation, manifestation will follow. The little cloud may look small, but it is evidence that your answer is coming! Say this to yourself: Father, I believe You can do all things, including granting the desires of my heart according to Your will. Let my expectation not be cut off, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “…Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea… Prepare thy chariot, that the rain stop thee not… and there was a great rain…” 1 Kings 18:44–45 I pray for you today that whatever your heart desires from God, He will give it to you in Jesus’ name. Amen! It is good to pray, but prayer without strong desire and expectation can become a mere religious exercise. Many cry unto God for help, but when it is time for God to act, their low level of expectation limits them. Never let your expectations stop what God is about to do in your life! Elijah prayed for rain, and when he saw the little cloud, he knew the answer had come. Expect what you request! Say this to yourself: Thank You, Jesus, because from today, I will never stop the answers to my prayers by my low level of expectation. My expectation shall not be cut off, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: The Joy of the Lord. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10 The joy of the Lord is the secret of the strength of the saints. Nehemiah 8:10 . The more joyful you are, the stronger you become daily. No wonder Scripture says, “A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.” Proverbs 17:22, TPT. Therefore, rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! Rejoice evermore! Don’t allow the circumstances around you to steal your joy. Your joy is not merely an emotion, it is a source of strength for your walk with God.  Say this to yourself: Thank You, Father, for I am filled with the fullness of the Spirit of joy. Irrespective of anything going on around me, I decree and declare I am a joyful being and a stronger being. I am stronger every day of my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: The Joy of the Lord. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10 The Bible makes it clear that if you faint in the day of trouble, that is a sign of weakness, real weakness, ERV . And as a child of God, you ought to go from strength to strength, not from weakness to greater weakness. The last time I shared, I said the first foundational source of strength is saying what is right with your tongue. And that’s very correct, but not only that. A bird doesn’t fly with one wing. The second foundational source of strength is to maintain the joy of the Lord in your life . You need both your right confession and the joy of the Lord to continually walk in strength. Say this to yourself: Father, release to me the grace to do whatever it takes, according to Your Word, to remain strong in You all the days of my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
