Bible Verse of the Day
Job 42:2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”


Excerpt
Confidence is a fragile thing. Knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt who you are, what you’re worth and why you’re worth it, is a fragile mindset that’s easily shaken.


It’s because we’re human, because our feelings are our rudder, and subconsciously we often don’t really believe we deserve success and prosperity.


But praise the Lord in heaven, it doesn’t really matter that our confidence sometimes gets shaken. What matters is that we are able to bounce back from that shake and once again believe in our God in heaven’s plan for our success.


No purpose of God’s can be thwarted. No purpose of God’s can be stopped.


His will IS victorious, His plan IS triumphant.


And that means every beautiful blessing He has in store for your life WILL come to pass.


Your success is CERTAIN.


But there’s a trick to this promise. And the trick is that God will never impose Himself on your free will.


So if you decide that you won’t accept God’s gift for your life, then He won’t be able to give it to you.


But if you choose to believe in God’s blessing, you choose to believe in His purpose, you CHOOSE to be certain that He has greatness in store for you…


You unlock your door to success.


Prayer:

Dear Jesus,

I thank You for the purpose You created for my life. I choose to be certain of Your promise, of Your blessing. I know Your truth is true and Your blessing is blessed. I pray for the strength to be certain even when my faith gets shaken.

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

A-men.

A great example of why young women shouldn't be teaching "devotionals." It's not good to be teach God is our three-wish-genie for success. It's not true. Neither is free will. We don't make God do anything because we act right. This is a devotion to self, not God.

Titus 2:3-5
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

Lynn, you know we can demand God to do things for us?

Any of His promises to us..........we can demand them.

Hope is promised for the believer. contentedness is promised for the believer. confidence is promised to us.Love(personal love) is promised to the believer.

Or we can choose to sit back and be bitter,contentious and downers to others. We can demand what God promises us. Most just don't know the promises.

Do you have scripture to support your view that we have a right as created being to demand anything from God? Plenty of verses about asking for things in faith according to God's will. Never seen anything about having the right as mere worms to demand anything from God. Seems pretty arrogant to me to assume God owes us anything.

No, I don't know that. I wouldn't do to my dad what you seem to think is fine to do with our Father.

You were a mere worm BEFORE you were saved. You are a Son, and a new creature in Christ as a born again believer.

You will stay a mere worm in your mind if you don't advance in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.

Still waiting on scriptural support. What arrogance to believe you can demand anything from God.

I am a son, not a Son. Not a begotten Son of God. Only one of those. We are children, but still worms in comparison to the glory of God. How does one get to the point where they feel they have the right to demand anything of God.

What immaturity to believe we can't demand His Promises to us.Still waiting on the scriptures that we can't. Which started from the first response. Show me we can't.

The body of Christ is the church and in union with Christ. Does that make us part God? No. That's more word of faith blasphemy. We aren't literally fused to Christ in a way that makes us equal to God. Are you equal to God?

Your dad was a Liar then. If he promised you something, you have a right to demand it.

Its on him if he doesn't come through. Its not your fault that he didn't come through on his PROMISE.

Our Father in heaven..........................we can count on it and DEMAND His promises to us.
Where do you get this non-sense? Who are you to demand something from God? I agree with forthangle... Lets seem some scripture to support this heresy.

What is in union with Christ?

New American Standard Bible
because we are members of His body.

King James Bible
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

And keep the WoF out of it. Don't believe in that garbage. That is just presented over and over so that YOU will have preconceived idea about GRACE. The Gifts are gone. we have teachers,administrators and believers who LEARN and apply doctrine.

God may heal or perform miracles, but MEN do not have those gifts anymore.

So Gods promises to the believer are "not for Sure?"

"So maybe God, because you give like humans and are not any different than my humans friends, please,please. I whip myself so I can claim your promise!"

So, when you pray, do you really say "God, I demand you ........" ?

You go girl. Most here will want you defeated. God has victory for you. It is sad to watch the believers and Christians that want to SUCK the life out of you.

You have freewill. You can choose to stay positive or you can go negative.......Most freely choose to go negative.
